“Yabbit,” Ally said running all the words together. “You…you like clocked that guy.” Ally had a semi-stunned quality to her voice. “I mean I get you are the chief of security but where did you learn to do that?” She glanced back at the man on the ground as then to Rico as she picked up the bags.

“That?” Rico asked, looking back at the man himself as they walked. “That was first lesson, self defense at the Academy, year one.” He teased her, “And there might have been a little improvisation thrown in there for good measure.” He grinned, but looked her sternly with his best Security Chief eyes. “What the heck were you doing walking with that guy into an Alley? On Orion of all places. Didn’t you get exiled from here for being all dangerous and stuff?”

“Shhh,” Ally said pulling him aside. Brushing the hair off her face she took a deep steadying breath. “I was about to handle him,” she said confidently as if tossing assailants in darkened alley’s was her main activity after a shift at the infirmary. “I am not thrilled about the nickname either but we can take that up with Lauren later.” The annoyance in Ally’s tone was clear. “Right now I need you to go to our hotel and wait for me…’kay,” Ally said in an upbeat tone as if nothing was wrong. “When ....whoever that is,” she pointed towards the limp man on the ground, “comes too I take care of some business and meet you there. Maybe you could get us some room service. Oh…how about a couple of steaks?” Ally suggested leaning against the wall waiting for the man to wake up.

“Lauren?” Rico asked Ally, looking at her with a raised eyebrow. “Isn’t she the one who you were involved with last time you were here over a year ago, before joining the Ogawa? If I remember right, she’s the one that got you exiled?” Looking at her, Rico dropped the bags and folded his arms. “I’m not going anywhere Allison” he told her, “especially not so you can chat to that guy and take care of ‘business’ without me. Understood?”

“Well I just didn’t want you to get involved,” Ally bit her lip. “It was supposed to be a quickie where I didn’t pull out my medical bag until later.” Walking over to the man on the ground she went to bend down but the man was already reviving.

“What do you mean a quickie?” Rico said, then moved up beside her and the man on the ground, placing his hand on her shoulder in case Ally decided to try and get too close to him. “And what the heck do you mean by not wanting me to get involved?”

“What is wrong with you,” a voice echoed in the alley as the man slowly rose to his hands, then knees, and finally to his feet. “You are as crazy as Ariel.”

“Hey,” Ally said indignantly.

“Would you care to say that again?” Rico said to the man, turning and unfolding his arms, then taking a number of steps towards him. “Apparently my cohort here needs to take care of some business? How about you explain to me what that business is?” Coming closer to him, Rico flexed one of his hands, allowing the knuckles to crack tellingly, “Unless you are of the opinion that manhandling another mans woman needs no explanation, we can talk some more if you like.”

“I stand corrected you both are nuttier than Rand and Shan,” he rubbed his jaw where Rico hit him. “Look come or don’t come. Just give me the access code ‘kay,” the man gave Ally a sour look.

Rico paused here and turned to look at Ally. “What code?”

“I am not giving you the code. I don’t even know your name,” Ally crossed her hands over her chest.

“What code?” Rico said again, looking from one to the other.

“Lady you don’t need to know my name.” The man took several steps as if walking away but returned to face the couple. “Bob. Call me Bob. Is that better,” he half growled spreading his arms.

“That is a terrible fake name” Rico told the man. “You could at least have put some effort into it, used something mysterious.”

“Well, it’s a start. The next step is telling us what direction to go to so we can get to work,” Ally continued to look at the man with her hands still crossed.

“What work?” Rico said, again turning to Ally and now completely suspicious that their holiday wasn’t going to be much of one after all. “We had a hotel to go to, room service, a spa bath? Remember, Ally?”

“You’re her boyfriend,” Bob looked at Rico.

“I am” he said, looking at Bob with a helpless gesture. “Sometimes I don’t know why exactly, but I am, and you need to learn to keep your hands off other peoples girls.”

“You sure do have your hands full,” he almost joked and shook his head. “This way,” Bob said over his shoulder as he began to walk towards a warehouse at the end of the street.

Stepping in front of Ally, Rico held up one hand and looked at her with a scowl. “You” he said very slowly and precisely, so as no confusion or twists could be made in what he was going to say, “have some explaining to do. About Lauren, about this code and about this work you somehow are involved in. Maybe if you don’t want me to handle any more of these situations, you had better tell me whats going on, love.”

“Well what is going on is a friend asked me to drop off a few things to…Bob....,” Ally let the guys alias roll off her tongue. “The code is simple. 911. It stands for help but in this case we are the help and not asking for it.” Ally kept walking and spoke in the same sort of tone she would as if they were having lunch on the Ogawa and not meandering through filthy streets on the surface of a less than reputable planet.

Turning, Rico watched Ally move towards the warehouse and in a few long strides and caught up beside her. “You know that guy is on the wrong side of the law, don’t you?” he asked her, “Right now we should be in our hotel room, wearing not much, with baby oil and peanut butter treats while we wait for the bubble bath to get to the right temperature.” He grinned at Ally despite where she was leading him, “Instead we are on our way to a dodgy warehouse to do who knows what on the wrong side of town on a planet with very few right sides.”

Lt Vanhall, CoS

“Dodgy,” Ally let out a half giggle. “You do know I love that word.” She followed Bob into a pitch black room .
