Alex Ran down the hall way that lead to the door he had used to get in. He was about half way there when he felt a jolt that almost knocked him off his feet, the ship was moving! But, how? He was so close to the door. The way the door worked was kinda like an air lock, one would enter though one door, shut it, open the other door and exit. Alex entered the first door and was about to open the second door when the first door slammed shut behind him. He quickly turned, Fidgets leg gently swinging in to his. In front of the shut door stood Asazi. She looked him up and down.
“You wanna leave don’t you?”
“Gee, Asazi, how could you tell?”
“I’m afraid I can’t let you go, X would have my head”
“Why don’t you come with us? Come on, I mean, I know there’s gotta be a person somewhere in there”
She stared at him, an ever so small smile over took her lips. She walked her sultry walk over to him.
“We can leave, but…..”
Asazi gestured to Fidget.
“….she stays”
Alex looked away, as if he were thinking about something.
“Come on, lover boy, what do you have to lose? Your friend will assume your dead and Dr. X will think the same of me. It will be perfect.”
He looked down at her and smiled.
“Alright”
He plopped Fidgets body down buy the door to the out side. Asazi wrapped her arm around his waist. She put her lips close to his, Just as she was about to kiss him, Alex turned away from her slightly and elbowed her in the gut, right where he had kicked her before. She fell against a wall, gasping for breath. She slid down the wall in shock.
How could I have let my guard down like that?
Alex glared at her as he picked up Fidget and held her in one arm as he had done before.
“Sorry Asazi, I wouldn’t abandon my friends like that”
She looked at him, still struggling to breath right, he had knocked the air right out of her.
“Funny…….I….I seem to remember……..you leaving them once………when we first……………first met.”
Alex thought for a moment.
“That was different, I left them because of you, so you wouldn’t hurt them, and, if I were you, I grab on to something”
A smashed his hand into the key pad and the door opened. Alex squinted his eyes at her.
“See ya soon”
And he and Fidget fell backwards out of the ship.
