We’ll pay you well if you can help us out,” Kordan made a move before the waitress could disappear again.  
    “Ask away!”
    We’re looking for two young women. One has long, dark hair and blue eyes, the other has red hair and green eyes. They’re both very pretty and look like women of my race, only maybe a little shorter. They don’t know this place particularly well. We’re here to help them.”
    “There were two women here who could fit your description. Two or three weeks ago. They had a gold Tik-card and didn’t know how to use it. They also wanted me to falsify ID for them. I took them to a friend who does that sort of thing. Since then I haven’t seen them again. I only know that they wanted to get to the spaceport.”
    Amano whistled.
    “A gold Tik-card. I wonder how they got hold of that.”
    The waitress shrugged her shoulders.
    “Of no interest to me. I was paid well for my work. They gave me a thousand credits.”
    “We’ll pay you equally well,” said Kordan, pulling out his wallet. He counted out a thousand credits onto the table that swiftly disappeared into the waitress’s pocket.  
    “I’ll bring you your food,” she said, and left.
    “What do you think?” asked Amano, looking at Kordan.
    “I tell you, it’s them. That’s why we haven’t found them here anywhere. There at the spaceport – the last place I’d have looked. These two women are sharper than I would have expected. A gold Tik-card. Respect! They’ll definitely be living a life of luxury with that, and I was worried that they’d be starving.”
    Amano laughed.
    “But I’m relieved. It’s better for them to be living in luxury than lying dead in a back yard here somewhere.”
    “Yes, you’re right. I’m glad, too. I only hope that they haven’t left Xevus3 yet, otherwise it’ll get complicated for us.”

    “I can’t believe we’re going to leave this damn planet tomorrow morning,” said Lory, looking out of the window.
    “Me, neither,” agreed Charly. “I don’t know what to do first when I get back home. I only hope I’ve still got my flat and everything. How long have we been away now?”
    “More than two months, and by the time we get there another month, so we’ll have been away for more than a quarter of a year. I have no idea how we’re going to explain that to anyone, either. As far as what’s happened with my flat and my things – my job – no idea. We’ll see. We’ll think up something during the journey home.”
    Someone started banging at the door. Lory and Charly looked at one another and shrugged.
    “I’ll take a look,” said Charly, going to the door to look through the view hole.
    “There are two huge guys outside the door. Both built like brick shit-houses and one of them has the icy-cold stare of a killer. I don’t think these are good guys. What shall we do?” whispered Charly.
    Lory went to the door, too, and looked through the view hole. The two men really did look like natural-born Mafiosi, if you overlooked the fact that one of them was blond.
    “Who is it?” asked Lory.
    “We need to speak with you. We’ve come to fetch you.”
    “To fetch us? But we’re not flying until tomorrow morning. Are you part of the crew?”
    “Yes. We’re part of the crew,” confirmed the man at the door.
    “And I’m supposed to believe that, sucker,” Lory murmured. “These men aren’t with Ellyod, I’d bet my return ticket on that. Go and hide somewhere. If I’m not able to deal with them, stay in your hiding place until morning. At least one of us must make it back to earth.”
    “But I can’t abandon you,” Charly disagreed.
    “Babe, these two are probably dangerous. You’ve told me your story and you don’t want something as bad as that to happen to you again. I’m tough. Either I’ll kill these men or I’ll die. That’s my job. But you won’t handle this. Believe me. No one wants you to play the heroine here, so go and hide well. Go!”
