Jonothan sighed as if he was wasting his time and had better things to do, “Well, we got time ta waste, wan me ta show ya around?”
We walked around the large skyscrapers. Everything looked grey. Then we reached a small park full of colorful sculptures. We stopped awhile there and chatted.
“Is that why Sertoff said you were the enemy?”
He nodded, “An de reason I attacked on Caslitak was for de other gal he was holdin dere, you saw her.”
I smirked, “The one who acted like me, and didn’t need my bloomin help. What’s the story with her?”
“Jealous?”
“Should I be?”
“Naw, she just an ol friend, landed on de wrong world durin a trade mission. Dis went de wrong way or dat went de wrong way, she smuggled in illegal goods an de heat too hot so she jump out while she can. Kilji thought she make a good wife, so I tear up de place a little.

“Yeah I know, you showed up pretty fast.”

I do anythin for you, wit you. Write yo’r name in de sky when we get bak wit de clouds if you smile for me. I can do so many thins to make you happy, you happy by de smallest thins. Glitter fallin like rain, fireworks, color…” he kissed my cheek. “I give it to you everyday if you let me.”
“Jonothan?” Rean appeared in the courtyard in front of us. “Sertoff has vowed to kill you on return.”
“Ahhhh, now Mom. Dat don seem possible does it?” he teased.
Rean smiled, “Just a warning, the officials are with him now. He just passed through the gates at Tri…”
“That’s two blocks from here, how is he breathing the air?”
“You know he can buy a device on Jand, that’s where the officials picked him up at. He already went through three Constrictors…”
