Who: Amber, Keats
Where: Places
When: Dunno
Amber walked into Keats' quarters expecting to find him there. When
he wasn't she sighed and sat down on his bunk. She hadn't seen him
for a few days and this murder business was making her nervous. At
this point in time, quite ironically, Keats was thinking about Amber.
He allowed himself a smile, which broadend slowly. He sighed, and
snuck out of the Cargobay whislt Jack was grunting and flowing with
sweat. He opend up a tightbeam over his nanos, directing it at Ambers
frequency
"Hey, im bored, wanna meet up for a quick Drink??"
Amber jumped up and looked around as she heard the voice, forgettign
for a moment that she had nanos.
"I'm in your quarters actually, I was looking for you."
Keats eyebrows raised on their own accourd, he had to manually lower
them a moment later.
"Ok, well, tell you what, il be over in a minute, just have to slip
away without Severn noticing"
He looked to his side, and made a dash for it. Severn leant against a
wall and smiled to himself, a small monitor showing Keats' body
dissapearing rapidly. Ambers heart skipped a beat and she grinned
evilly. she hung her jacket over a chair and sat back down on the bunk
"I'll be waiting" She said.
Keats, spurred on by those three words doubled timed it, and after a
few short lift rides later, quite literally fell through the door. He
cleared his throat, dusted himself off and smiled
"Hi!" he said happily.
"Hi" Amber said and hugged Keats.
"I was worried they had already arrested you"
She looked into his face and smiled.
"I told them you were out in the Endymion at the time but they didn't
believe me. They said the only wepon could have been The Gun (TM)"
Keats looked blank. Decided it was some wierd joke and laughed.
"Hey, they find the moonshine? i swear, its not mine, Jack uses it to
brush his teeth! I cant help it if it slips into small bottles and
gets sold!"
"Oh John." she said
"Haven't you heard? Jasmine Starbolt was found dead.... murdered.
There was a gunshot wound, but no bullet."
She hugged him again not wanting to let go incase security turned up.
Keats returned the hug, but his mind was wandering, he turned the
name over in his mouth.
'Jasmine... Jasmine... ohhh, yeah, i remember her! She blinded Severn
for a few days when he asked her out, whisky, straight in the eyes"
Keats thought about what hed said
"But... well, i never knew, why was i not informed? HOLLY!" he shot
an acusing glance to the monitor, which tho blank made a witty retort.
"They think you did it John. Because they think it was the gun. Thats
why you wern't informed."
Keats went pale.
"They... they... they think I did it?" he stood there for a second,
and backed away from Amber and looked hurt.
"Do YOU think i did it?"
"Of course not. At the time of death you were in The Endymion.....
wern't you?"
She took a step back herself, mentally planning the safest rout to
the door.
"Yeah, the Temporal Displacemnt Drive malfunctioned... well, at
least, i thought it had, turns out Severn had placed me straight into
the hold of the 'Dwarf, and set up a VR setting. He freaks me out...
you know..."
He noticed Amber was tense, as if shed either pouce or flee at the
slightest movement. Keats felt dizzy, and stumbled onto his bed where
he sat down.
"But... why me? why do they think i did it.... ive never hurt
anybody... well, ive never killed anybody... well, no-one who wasnt
invading our ship or attacking it in a craft of some kind"
He put his head in his hands and sat there blankly looking at the
floor.
Amber sat down next to him and put an arm around him.
"It'll be ok. I'm here for you." She said leaning against him.
Keats laughed slightly, and whisperd
"So, that it then, acta est fabula and im locked up for something i
didnt even smegging do"
He tensed his muscles briefly and relaxed. The arm around him seemd
to suck out any anger he should of felt at this point. He looked up
quickly, eyes reddening.
"Well, im gonna smegging well gonna prove to those smegging smeggers
im innocent!"
"Hey, calm down, your in no fit state to do anything at the moment.
We should play it safe. Leve it a while before you act interested."
"Yeah, but the longer i leave it, the more guilty i look!"
Back in the Cargo Bay, Severn was looking at a reading a psycho -
analyitical of Keats via his Int-Armour. Small bars flashed red.
Severn pushed a button. Back in the bunkroom, Keats relaxed almost
immediatly.
"Yeah, your right, i should leave it a while" He leaned against Amber
and closed his eyes.
