The Gaian and the Cop

[Victor Steiner]

John wandered into the bar of Freeport 1, a rather empty place at this time of night He smoothed his Police uniform, knowing full well he would be one of the most unpopular people here, still no one could do anything about it. He looked around, taking note of the other patrons and looking for one in particular. He saw outcasts and zoners, a handful of corsairs and, most importantly, the Gaian he had met outside. She was already at the bar, drinking a glass of water while she waited.

He strolled on over to her and sat beside her.
''Caroline Ross?'' he said looking at her ''I hope you are still interested in continuing our little conversation we had outside''
