Fast Break
23 Feb 2024Andromedae
I grabbed Sarah Andromedae's hand and said to her, "we need to go someplace private to talk." The commotion we caused in the bar was attracting security. I tugged her in the direction of the exit. As we reached the exit, I could hear: "You need some help miss?" coming from another pilot. I replied "No", and then I heard another voice: "Is everything alright young lady?" This time it was security. I again replied: "It is fine." "Why don't you let go of her and let her answer?" She gripped my hand now, and sheepishly replied: "I am ok. I think I just had a bit much to drink." Security replied: "Are you sure, we can help you back to your ship." Again, "It's OK really." The color now slightly returning back to her face. Seeing my opportunity, I tugged her hand, and we made a fast break for the elevator.
I could hear the footsteps behind me as the door closed.
"Who are you?" It was now a demand from the girl. "I think I am your brother.", I quickly quipped back.
We walked quickly through the hanger; I am holding her in tow to the ship. "This is your ship?" "Yes, I replied." We both got aboard Princess, and I requested take-off. "Where are we going?"
"Home"
