Original X-roads-2003

    “Ooooohhhhh SwEeThEaRt!” I heard a familiar voice ring out from behind me.
    I jerked around to see Harley standing, blaster drawn, aimed point blank at my head. He never misses either.
    He laughed as he walked forward a little, “I’m nothing, Mentaz has Daemon and Flame has Jamie.”
    I smirked, “Poor Flame.”
    Harley grinned, “Yeah, it’s no match really.” He reached in his pocket and held out a cig, “Want one?”
    I let out a breath and walked over, “The way this day has been going I need one.” I took it from him and set it on my lips, he pulled out a pen-like device. A small white lazer stream came from the tip, he set it on the end and lit the cig. “Thanks.” I muttered as I let out my first puff.
    “Yeah, no problem.” he set the pen-lazer back in his pocket.
    “Where did you get that anyway.” I nodded to his jacket and took a drag.
    “On Rak. I went there to get jumper parts for Casandra’s people.” he pulled out another cig and lit it for himself.
    I narrowed my eyes slightly, “For Casandra’s People?”

    “Yeah.” he let out the smoke, “You know Casandra.”
