In Mexico City, a furtive figure ran through the rain and jumped into a taxi.

"Off duty!" the cabbie said.

Oh, senor, I don't think so." The sound of a pistol being cocked punctuated the night.

"You got it, boss! Where to?"

"Wherever it is that you need to take me."

"Que?"

"Let us not play games. I wish to see the Taxi Boss and you are going to take me. If he tries to blame you for that, you can always say that I held a gun to your head. Which I am doing."

"I could get shot for doing that!"

"And you will get shot for not doing it. Your choice, really."

The car started and sped off into the night.

By the side of the road, two small, brown dogs sat and watched the car drive off.

"So, George, you gonna chase after it?"

"Naw. I caught one once and I didn't know what to do with it."

""I've never really seen the point, either. You suppose we should report in?"

"Yeah. That particular group horning in on the Taxi Drivers is something that The Friend needs to take notice of..."

the plot thickens !!!

He was bored. Nothing was happening. He felt there should be something, but there was not. He looked to his schedule. Yesterday there was something coming up that would be interesting, but that was in the future. Instead, he picked up his glass and toasted his companion. Who had just lost his last sou in a poker game.

The squid looked as if he were grumbling and saying, "I'm pretty certain that that last hand was rigged, especially since there were five aces in your hand, but I'm not going to risk that. Maybe, in fact, there is a new suit called 'pistols' but never mind. Why yes, I would like another Zany Carter as long as you are buying...*"

zelda_pinwheel · 01-18-2009, 04:28 PM

that poor squid, i feel so sorry for it during these card games.

there is always something with a twist in it ....

Harv flipped a few random switches as the engines warmed up.

"Let's do the check list, Viv."

"Okay. The standard, 'We actually give a crap about this' checklist, or the 'We're just flying down to the beach for an afternoon of frolicking, so screw this' checklist?"

Harv looked up contemplatively. "Well, we're flying to Mexico city from Panama city to rescue Vera from whatever it is that she's gotten herself into this time and we have an actual paying passenger, so I guess it should be the first." He muttered, "Much as I know I'm going to regret it..."

"I heard that!"

"Starboard Engine fuel pressure?"

"Check!"

"Port Engine fuel pressure?"

"Check!"

"Starboard oil pressure?"

"Check!"

"Port oil pressure?"

"Check!"

"Landing gear?"

"Still welded to the bottom of the plane!"

"Just say check!"

"Check!"

"You gave in rather quickly," said Harv, feeling suspicion.

"Hey, I'm just the co-pilot! Subservient in every way. That, plus I'm a dog, so I know that I'm beta in this pack..."

"Right. Running lights?"

"Check!"

"If I ask you about the radio, am I going to regret it?"

"I think we already established who is the alpha male here."

"That's not an answer."

"Check!"

Harv sighed. "Radio?"

"Ooh! You're going to like this!" Vivaldi reached out and flipped a switch. A wall of chromosome damage level noise issued from the speakers. HArv's ears started bleeding and his tympanic membranes tried to crawl out through his nose.

"SHUT THAT OFF!" he shouted.

Thundering silence blessed the cockpit.

"What the Hell? I thought I said NO SKA!"

"No need to shout. That wasn't ska."

"I have to shout, I've been deafened. What was it then?"

"It's a new fusion. Hip hop and ska: Hip ska-p. Not ska at all..."

"I don't see how that's any worse than Death Baroque, but no one ever asks me my opinion," said the M.A.R.V.I.N.

zelda_pinwheel · 01-19-2009, 12:28 PM

ska-p :

nekokami · 01-19-2009, 03:14 PM

Death Baroque? Would the M.A.R.V.I.N. really complain about that?

zelda_pinwheel · 01-19-2009, 04:06 PM

and how could *anybody* complain about ska-p ? this must be a fantasy story or something, it's totally unrealistic.

DixieGal · 01-19-2009, 04:24 PM

Tim and I set a new land speed record hitting the "stop" button on that clip. You kids cut out that racket!

vivaldirules · 01-19-2009, 05:22 PM

(Don't tell Harv, but I had my earplugs in. Fortunately, I can read lips. Ssshhh!)

nekokami · 01-19-2009, 10:21 PM

I always browse MR with the sound off.

Ok, I nearly always have the sound off on my computer anyway...
