“Well, what are you two going to do?”

Casey was suddenly looking right at me.

Balls, I should have stayed asleep.

Tabitha replied, “We are rebels, and have only one goal – The end of the Empire.”

Wow, that went much further than what I would have divulged. Damn, she’s looking right at me.

“Don’t look at me like that. We have the money, and now we need help.”

There was sustained silence apart from the beating of the craft’s engines.

“Your fuckin’ serious,” Casey interjected, “You want to destroy the Empire. And I had you down as lowly drug dealers. I shouldn’t be so quick to judge.”

Leanne got to her feet, the medical device having done its magic. “What do you think Mum, should we join the rebels? They did save me. A swashbuckling adventure perhaps. What do you say?”

Chrissie looked up at the ceiling, then pouted her lips.

“It’s like this girls, we’ve lost all our product. And I couldn’t bear making you the product. We’re bang out of options. But everybody I know that was a rebel, died shortly afterwards. I’ll leave it to you two to decide. There’s no stopping you anyhow.

Casey and Leanne looked at each other.
