It’s just as well that I like salmon. I gulped it down. It felt great to satiate my hunger. Tabitha was taking a bit longer to finish her meal, so I went to the bar to see what I could find out.
A burly, bald man was sweating profusely behind handing out drinks as quickly as possible. Numerous people were seeking his attention.
“Sorry.” I held out my hand hoping he’d pay me some attention.
I waited for a few minutes and eventually, he paid me some attention.
“What can I do for ya?”
“I’m looking for work.”
“Local, or do you have a spacecraft?”
“I can travel.”
“You should head upstairs then. Tell them Leo sent you. It might be dangerous work now.”
I told Tabitha what I was doing and to follow up after me if I wasn’t back in twenty minutes. Just in case this was a ploy against the downtrodden.
I walked up the stairs into a smoke-filled, lively atmosphere. Both stone and more modern artifacts were displayed on various tables. It was not at all what I had expected.
I informed the two ladies at the nearest table Leo had sent me. They pointed me to a table at the very back.
