S.P.E.C.T.O.R
Chapter 93: Becky’s

After landing Adam headed for the armoury where he equipped his anti-gravity gear and other equipment before thinking of something and asking, "I can't believe I never thought of this before we left, but is Stacey armed?"

"Negative, my sensors show no weapons on her person." Spector replied.

"That's kind of risky isn't it, while I don't trust her with a blaster like mine a basic blaster should work. Can you provide one?"

"Affirmative."

After Spector spoke a compartment slid open revealing a small blaster along with a holster and a few small rectangular objects that Adam recognised from Space Rogue as energy cells.

Not all blasters like his had a self recharge function with most in-fact needing the wielder to switch out energy cells when their blaster ran out of energy or ammo.

"This is a basic Terran Munitions GL Two blaster. Unlike your Plalanx Mk 7, it only has the ability to fire normal blaster shots."

Adam nodded as he took the blaster, holster and energy cells.

After he was set Adam left the armour and made his way towards the entry hatch where he found Stacey waiting for him with the case.

"Here." Adam said, handing her the blaster, holster and energy cells." 

"What's this for?" Stacey asked in surprise.

"Protection. I can't have you dying before we get paid." Adam replied with a smirk before asking. "Why are you smuggling obviously valuable cargo without a blaster or other protection?"

"Most couriers get twitchy when you board their ships armed so I normally don't carry one in these situations. Besides, I still have ways to protect myself." Stacey replied confidently before she reached out to take the blaster while adding, "I won't turn down your offer though."

Stacey inspected the blaster closely for a few moments before nodding approvingly and saying, "A Terran Munitions GL Two, not bad thanks."

Adam watched Stacey equip the holster before slotting the blaster and energy cells into it. He could have sworn she swayed her sexy hips and ass in ways that weren't entirely natural.

Once she was happy with its placement she looked up with a smile before saying, "Let's go."

Adam nodded and opened the hatch allowing them both to exit Spector and step onto Trillion.

What Adam noticed first was the air, it was stale and in no way fresh in the slightest causing him to frown.

Stacey noticed the frown and giggled before saying, "Only those rich fucks above get to enjoy natural air, down here it's all recycled and ventilated air, while it won't kill you it does take some getting used to."

Adam nodded and followed as Stacey led the way off the landing pad and down some steps onto a street that was bustling with people walking along it and many open shop fronts.

Unlike on Palaxia where it was mostly Terran's and Adam saw hardly any aliens. Trillion, though mostly populated with Terran's since it was a Terran planet, had many aliens of different races and species. 

Adam saw Brood like Diva Rowana with red eyes of different shade along different sized wings or no wings at all. A race that would cross as Terran if not for the tendrils they had on their heads instead of hair. Humanoid spider individuals whose upper half was human and lower half like a spider with eight legs and also the reverse where they had the upper half as a spider and the lower half as two humanoid legs.

Humanoid cat people who were mostly human except for their cat-like eyes, ears and tail. He once or twice saw creatures that looked like small whales only a couple of feet long swimming through the air and talking to others along with so many more races and species.

Adam looked around at each in amazement seeing them for the first time.

Stacey giggled as she watched his reaction, finding it funny and cute, "I keep forgetting you're not Terran and from outside the known universe. I guess it's not surprising how you're reacting to all these different races and species having not grown up with them."

"Come on this way." She said before leading them along the road until they reached one of many alleyways that ran between the shops.

Stacey turned and entered the alleyway as Adam followed behind her. 

Once they entered he saw that the alleyway was far less busy than the main road which was unsurprising. He also noticed that Stacey's ass and hips seemed to sway in a way they hadn't when they had first met.

After realising his thoughts were wandering in directions he didn't think was appropriate Adam shook his head and focussed on his surroundings in case something happened.

Stacey in front had noticed his gaze on her as she walked and found herself swaying in response as she enjoyed the feeling until it vanished and she felt a slight bit of loss.

They continued along alleyways for several minutes as they took turns every so often. Adam would have had no idea where he was if it wasn't for Spector having already scanned the entire planet and uploaded a detailed map to his minimap. 

Stacey on the other hand walked along like she had travelled this route several times in the past which it seemed she had as every so often one or two of the locals called out to her in greeting.

"You seem pretty popular here." Adam said.

"I basically grew up here. I may have been born on Palaxia but I spent most of my youth and adolescent years working these streets." Stacey replied.

"So you're a member of the eighty sixers?"

"No. While I have worked with them and done the odd job for them, I never joined a gang." 

"Why not?" 

"I like to travel in space. Most if not all who join a gang here on Trillion never get to leave the planet. I was one of the lucky few who managed to find a crew to work with for a short while that took me into space."

"What happened to them? I mean you're running solo now right?"

"Yeah I'm solo now." Stacey replied in a low voice before going silent.

Adam got the hint that she didn't want to talk about and instead changed the subject.

"Tell me about the person we will be dealing with, you said you're not expecting trouble but how sure are you of that?" 

"We will be dealing with one of the eighty sixers lieutenants, a guy named Joe. He's a sound guy and it's unlikely we will get any trouble from him as long as we don't start it ourselves."

"So we just hand over the case, get paid and we're done?" 

"Yup that's basically it, though they may offer me more work." 

"Got it." Adam replied as they turned another corner and in the distance Adam saw the alleyway opened onto a small square that stood before a building with a colourful sign saying 'Becky's' 

"That's our destination, Becky's is owned and run by the eighty sixers while also being where they operate out off. Watch your belongings, while they operate it they don't stop all crime inside of it since in the end they are all criminals and they let thief's work there as long as they pay them their cut."

"Honour among thieves huh." Adam replied.

"Something like that though I can't say I've heard of the saying."

"It's from my home world."

"That explains it."

The pair reached the square and crossed it approaching Becky's that had a long line of patrons waiting to get in.

Stacey walked past the line that Adam noticed seemed to be full of mostly men and headed straight for two large women who had blasters strapped on there hips in full view off everyone. They were slowly slowing entry after checking people off a list.

"Hey the line starts back there bitch." One of the queuing men said angrily.

People started to pay attention to Adam and Stacey as a few voiced complaints, Stacey however ignored them and walked straight up to the two large women.

The two women heard the commotion and looked over at the source before smiling as they saw who was causing it and approaching them.

"Stacey you're finally back girl." One of the women said as she gave Stacey a quick hug.

"Seems the item the boss wanted wasn't the only thing you got off world, you got yourself a man as well." The other said in a teasing tone that made Stacey blush slightly while rolling her eyes.

"Go on in Joe is inside propping up the bar as normal. The first woman said as she moved aside and let Stacey and Adam past while giving Adam the once over.

Stacey led the way inside as she waved and greeted different women who shouted greetings at her.

Adam noticed that the further in they went the less most of the women seemed to wear until Stacey pushed open a pair of large double doors revealing to Adam what Becky's really was.
