Hunter P.O.V.
"How much longer until we're in hyperspace, Tech?" Tech stayed focused on the task at hand as he said
"That depends on when Echo plans on getting the drive back online" Echo snapped back
"I'm working on it!" fire from the Rhokai, hit and rocked the ship. The explosion rocked the ship causing the recently captured lizard to squawk. The squawk caused Omega to look at her and say
"I don't think Ruby likes this very much"
"You named that thing?..." The ship then shook as it was hit causing Wrecker to say
"What's with these guys?" Omega replied
"Well, we did steal from them" Tech replied just as 'Ruby' hissed
"Technically, the Rhokai stole the lizard first. We are merely intercepting it" I placed my hand on the back of Tech chair and said
"They don't see it that way" 'Ruby' then squawked just as the ship was hit.
I was thrown into my seat just as there was a large crash from the back. Wrecker screamed before yelling
"It's loose! It's loose!…" I looked over my shoulder as saw him flaying his arms around trying the get 'Ruby'off him
"Get it off! Get it off. Get it off!" Omega jumped out of her seat, grabbed the cage and said
"Stay calm. You're scaring her"
"Get it off. Get it off. Get it off!" 'Ruby' and Wrecker were both squealing from the back. Echos voice broke through the squealing
"Hyperdrive's online" As we entered Hyperspace I turned in my chair to check on Wrecker and Omega. Once I turned around I saw Omega sat on 'Rubys' cage. She looked up smiled and said
"Got her"
Omega placed the crate in the bar as Cid said
"That is one strange-looking lizard" 'Ruby' hissed as Echo said
"What's your client want it for?"
"Maybe it's a pet. Maybe he wants to turn it into a stew. Don't know, don't care" I then said
"As long as you get paid."
"Now you're catching on. And guess what? That means you get paid too. Bring the lizard in the back" Echo grabbed the crate and followed Cid and Tech to the back. As I began walking after them Omega spoke
"Hunter?"
I turned to face them only to see both of them looking really suspicious.
"What are you two up to?" Wrecker then said
"The mission's over. Can we go?"
"Again?"
"It's a tradition. It makes the kid happy" I looked at him and said
"Uh-huh. The kid" I then sighed and said
"Don't take long" the high fives each other before running out of the parlour. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"All right, fellas here's your cut" I held my hand out as she handed over the credits. I looked at the handful of credits in my hand before saying
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You said the job paid three times this" She slammed the case shit and said
"For me, not for you" Echo took a step forward and said
"And just how is this a mutually beneficial arrangement?" Cid looked up at him and said
"You're breathing, aren't you?…" he sat down and continued
"Rather generous considering the debt you owe me" I raised my eyebrow and said
"What debt?" She handed me over a tablet with a long list on it. I then began reading out the list
"Docking fees, port charges, gear, fuel, rations, and 20 cartons of Mantell Mix"
Dammit Wrecker
Dammit Omega
I was about to say something when Cid spoke
"Now, I like you boys, but I'm not running a charity here. You need a big score for us to be square"
"Like what?" She folded her arms and said
"Like retrieving that tactical droid, but you bungled that op. I suggest you figure something out before you see my ugly side" Tech then muttered
"That's not her ugly side?" I gave him a side kick as Cid said
"What was that, goggles?" Before anyone else could speak blaster fire echoed through the parlour. The boys and I grabbed our blasters and ran through the main hall.
"Move! Out of my way!" The two regular punters ran out just as we entered the room with our blasters raised. Cid pushed us out of the way.
"Hey, what's going on in here?" She looked at the only other person in the room and said
"Who are you?" The person then pushed down their hood and the three of us stood there in disbelief. Echo then muttered
"Rex?"
