Pirate's Price
“One was his best friend, Fibros Jivan; the other represented a prospective client.
Laughter and music mixed in a boisterous cacophony. Gaming tables lined one end of the crowded nightclub and the bar dominated another. Images flashed in time to the driving beat, scrolling from one vidscreen to the next in a mesmerizing ripple of color and light. Despite the numerous distractions, Vihlok’s attention focused entirely on the stranger talking to Fibros.
Vihlok’s knack for interpreting body language... had served him well in the past. Tall and lithe, with the vivid blue markings of an Elloni, the stranger moved with practiced grace and intentional precision. His gestures gave nothing away. He passed Fibros a datapad, waited silently as the stocky Devauntian browsed through the information, then made a final comment. Fibros nodded in response to whatever the Elloni said then the stranger inclined his head and left the bar.
Fibros ambled across the room, shoulders tense, gaze averted. A chill raced down Vihlok’s spine.MoreLess
