SPACE BOUNTY

Chapter 3

Angeline makes her way through the crowd slowly scanning for Alexandra; she knows that she is around here somewhere among all the gambling people. As she continues to make her way through a rather drunk man by the name of Andy, accidentally bumps into her spilling his drink all over her halter-top and bare stomach. She lets out a gasp as the drink was rather cold and stands there for a moment looking at him.

"Angeline Frazier: Hey you, drunken bastard watch where you're going."

"Andy: Oh jeez, fuck I'm sorry, fuck I am so sorry, fuck I am such a fucking klutz…"

He starts flipping out making a big deal out of this causing people to stair. After a while of this a slight blush starts to creep across Angeline's face as she adjusts her sunglasses trying to cover her face with her hand and walks past him continuing her search for Alexandra. It takes about an hour of searching but Angeline finally finds her playing the slots and not surprisingly always winning. She calmly walks over to her watching and says.

"Angeline Frazier: Jeez, you must be pretty lucky to win every time Miss. Alexandra Maura Schmidt."

Alexandra turns around hearing her full name and looks at Angeline, after giving her a once over she grins and looks Angeline in the face.

"Alexandra Maura Schmidt: Well if it isn't Angeline Frazier the little bounty hunter. Hey is it cold in here or are you just really happy to see me?"

Angeline looks where Alexandra points and sees her nipples are erect and poking through the semi-wet and sticky material of her halter-top. She again blushes, and looks back at Alexandra. Grabbing Alexandra by the arm, she pulls out a pair of cuffs from her purse

Angeline Frazier: Looks like your luck just ran out Alexandra I'm taking you in."

"Alexandra: You know if you had listened your ship would not have crashed and all those people would still be alive."

Reminded of this Angeline puts the cuffs on kind of tight causing Alexandra to scream a little in pain. Then she laughs even as Angeline roughly pushes her around, purposely being rough with the little hacker. However, Angeline decided not to go quietly and presses on with bringing up the crash figuring it is a sore point from the reaction she got.

"Alexandra: Wouldn't you agree that you would be better off dead Miss. Frazier? At least if you were you would not have the death of thousands of people on your conscience and you would not have the cops after you at every turn. Hell if it were me, I would even be thinking about killing my self just to put my self at ease about the entire matter."

Angeline gives her another hard shove a sure sign that she is hitting on a raw nerve. They get about half way to the entrance of the casino when Alexandra gives the final push.

"Alexandra: Tell me something, how does it feel to kill thousands of innocent people knowing the entire situation could have been avoided if only you had headed the warning I was generous enough to extend to you before you even got to earth?"

That is the last straw as Angeline gives another hard push sending Alexandra to the floor. Following her down Angeline takes out the Glock 22 she got from Jillian and presses it against the back of Alexandra's head her finger just twitching on the trigger. Easing back the hammer, she prepares to fire while Alexandra just laughs.

"Alexandra: Oh come now Angeline, I know you well enough to know you don't want to kill me and have another death dwelling on your conscience. Now why don't you put that toy away and let me up and we can pretend this never happened."

"Angeline: You don't know me half as well as you think bitch, why would I care if I killed you! Just one more death, it was your fault that our ship crashed in the first place so don't give me any of this crap that it could have been avoided because you and I both know there was no way I was going to loose you!"

Angeline holds firm pressing the gun against Alexandra's head, then her hand starts shaking as casino security comes over to try to break up what ever is going on. They take Alexandra away leaving Angeline just standing there. Suddenly she runs out of the casino and once outside she finds a near by bench where she can sit down and starts crying unable to hold it bottled up inside any longer. She is out there crying her eyes out for several minutes with a few people looking at her and snickering. Then the guy that ran into her is thrown out of the casino for trying to rip off the ATM, he stands up and dusts him self off seeing Angeline sitting there crying. Being a gentleman and not liking seeing any woman cry, he makes his way over to her sitting next to her offering her his shoulder to cry into trying to comfort her.

After she has had some time to get it all out of her system, he hands her a handkerchief so she can wipe her eyes free of the remaining tears. She then just sits their starring at the ground not saying anything. The Gentleman looks around trying to think of something to talk about and fill his uncomfortable moment in time.

"Andy: Hey….I….ummm, I just wanted to say I am sorry about earlier…you know spilling my drink on you and all."

He looks at her for a few moments trying to judge what her response might be ready for almost anything. She just sits there starring at the ground not saying anything letting all that has happened run repeatedly in her mind. She suddenly looks at him still somewhat sad and in a delayed reaction nods. She then smiles a little and returns her gaze to the ground.

"Angeline Frazier: It….it's ok don't worry about it, it didn't make me that angry I was just already agitated because of Alexandra forcing my ship to crash."

Andy looks at her surprised it was her ship that caused all that death and destruction. Then he looks up at the dimming sky as the sun goes down and the stars start to shine.

"Andy: So that was your ship that crashed, I'm surprised you're not running from the police. Since you killed a lot of people and destroyed a lot of buildings."

"Angeline Frazier: Don't remind me, I hate the fact that all those people died. Thing is I could not help it, she spiked my ships computers and they all crashed I could not control anything. I even almost died…my consol exploded and I was hit in the head by a piece of metal. I was arrested and put through the humiliation of a strip and body cavity search, and then I was thrown in jail. But Jillian managed to gather enough credits to bail me out."

They are both quiet for a few minutes, sitting here just thinking. Angeline suddenly looks at Andrew as his arm has slipped around her shoulders. She smiles and leans into his shoulder looking up at the darkening night sky. After sitting there for about an hour in total silence, Angeline breaks the silence by saying.

"Angeline Frazier: I know I look at kind of attractive, and I hate to disappoint you but I'm not really that easy of a score."

Hearing this, Andy chuckles a little rolling his eyes, and then he looks at her and responds by saying.

"Andy: I'm not disappointed for 2 reasons, 1. I don't view you like that, I respect women and don't view them as plain object to be ogled and drooled over. And the second reason, to be blunt I don't find you all that attractive, it's getting a little cold and I was just being nice."

"Angeline Frazier: Oh….I guess your right…I guess you're more attracted to girls that have something. Not a flat chested nobody like me….well it's getting late I should head back to the motel me and my friend are staying at till we can get our ship fixed."

Hearing her agree with him like that is a bit of a surprise to Andy and thou she is hiding it he can tell what he said hurt her feelings. As she gets up and goes over to her zip craft he also gets up and follows, secretly placing a tracking device on her so he can follow. He opens the hatch of her ship for her helping her in and says.

"Andy: Hey I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings just now I didn't mean to I was just being honest. You are a very pretty girl, and I'm sure there is someone somewhere that would love to be with you."

She starts up the systems of her ship and gets the engines warming up, and then she looks at him wiping a stray tear from her face. She nods and closes the hatch taking off a couple of second later and heading back to the motel she and Jillian were staying at. After he is sure she cannot see him, he follows her back to the motel. Then goes up and knocks on the door, after a few minutes, the door opens and Jillian stands there looking at Andy.

"Jillian Koch: Hello may I help you?"

"Andy: Can I speak with the woman that just entered here? I don't know her name but I know she just came in here"

She stands there watching him wondering if Angeline knows him and if he can be trusted. She then tells him to wait a minute and shuts the door to go get Angeline and ask her about the strange man that is asking for her. The door then opens a little and Angeline stands there looking at the gentleman caller.

"Angeline Frazier: What do you want? I told you it was alright, I wasn't angry about you spilling your drink on me."

"Andy: Yea I know I just wanted to see if I could offer my services. I know your ship will need some repairs and I am kind of a technical expert. By the way my name is Andy incase you were wondering. May I ask what your name is young miss or shall I just call you lady or madam for the time we are together?"

She stands there thinking this over trying to judge if Andy can be trusted or if he will screw her over at the first chance. As she thinks this over Jillian comes up and stands behind her putting her hand on Angeline's shoulder. Seeing the look on Angeline's face, she looks at Andy.

"Jillian Koch: You know it's not generally accepted for you to ask something like that, we don't know you so how can you expect us to trust you."

"Angeline Frazier: It…it's alright Jillian, I can speak for my self. She is correct thou Andy how can we trust you when we hardly know you?"

Andy smiles and nods understanding their position and looks down as if disappointed that they do not trust him. He then reaches into his pocket and takes out a business card handing it to Angeline.

"Andy: Well I can certainly understand your position, but just so you know I wouldn't do anything to betray either of you ladies. Here is my card, if you should change your mind you can reach me at either that number or e-mail me at the e-mail address at the bottom. Nice meeting you ladies, I look forward to hearing from you."

He leaves and closing the door Angeline and Jillian go and relax. Angeline lays on her bed starring up and the ceiling while Jillian prepares for a nice hot bath. After spending a couple of hours in the bath, she comes out with a towel wrapped around her and brushes out her hair.

"Jillian Koch: You know Angeline maybe we should trust this Andy some. He seems really nice and we could use the help of someone like him in repairing the Hydra."

"Angeline Frazier: Yea perhaps, I just can't shake the feeling that he's after something. I mean he sat next to me outside the casino letting me cry into his shoulder and even offered me his handkerchief. Then again maybe he feels he owes me, in the casino when I was searching for Alexandra he spilled his drink on me. He was drunk as a skunk and stumbling all over the place."

"Jillian Koch: Maybe your right, I'm not saying I don't agree with you but maybe he is on the level. I mean not every man in the universe is only after what us women have in-between our legs. They are sometimes hard to find but there are those few men that care for what's on the inside rather than our assets on the outside."

"Angeline Frazier: Yea I hope your right, I don't want another experience like I had with the first and last guy to whom I thought loved me only to turn around and break my heart once he saw me with out my cloths on"

Angeline roles over on her side remembering that painful event in her life. Even as she tries to forget it, she cannot help but hear his laughter in her head as she remembers that day when she was willing to give her first love her innocence. She starts to cry quietly remembering that awful day that she wishes she could just forget.

"Jillian Koch: So what do you say sis, you want to give him a chance? We could use his help on the ship, otherwise we will be stuck here for quite a while and miss out on any bounties that come up."

"Angeline Frazier: Yea I suppose, but I'm going to watch him like a hawk and I suggest you do too. Now can we stop talking about this, I need to take a bath and then I'm going to go to sleep."

"Jillian Koch: Yea sure, I will give him a call in the morning sweet dreams Angel."

With that said Jillian removes her towel and gets under the covers while Angeline gets up and goes into the bathroom to have her bath before bed.
