Sandy glanced over and could see a flickering light through the hole where there had been a solid one previously. Someone had come in to the booth nex... door without her hearing and had started the video player in room seven. Her instinct was to pull her pants up and get the heck out of there. She had no idea who was in the room next to her, but she had a feeling it was Garth the video clerk who had steered her toward room eight. She had a pretty good idea why now. He probably figured he'd give. "She nodded. In a small voice, Pyx asked "Why are you being so mean to Vonda, Master?"I was taken aback. "I don't think of it as mean. I'd say I was being strict." I'm sorry!" But mean works too."I paused for a minute, deciding what tact to take. "When Vonda and I first met you, Pyx, I told her that I thought you were a natural submissive and masochist. And I was right."Do you know what 'submissive' means?"Pyx nodded. "One who submits to another." That's right. You love to do what I tell you.. Dutch appeared, dressed to the nines. He bowed to the ladies, including Boots, and seated himself without invitation.Bob, no longer worried or upset, was happy just to eat. Nobody else seemed eager to talk either, and they all set to the plates they were brought with vigor.When Dutch was finished, he again wadded up his napkin and threw it on his plate, before turning to address Millie."I think we have what we need.

It still doesn't mean anything. I shot my commanding officer." Lavayn, you're the chief medic. From where I was sitting he went into a crazed frenzy. With him drawing his weapon, you had no choice. I'll stand by you in this. But lets get this ass into the med unit so that we can keep him sedated for awhile." It still won't hold him for long unless..." The unit can treat him long enough for the ship.
