Sunbucks Cafe

[Garrett Jax]

Seymore Justice was dead asleep in Sunbucks Cafe, making a rivulet of drool from his mouth to the polished wood table. A grizzled old man in grease stained clothes approached and poked Seymore in the back, jostling him awake.

"Huh, What? Two million credit fine rogue," he mumbled, half asleep.

The mechanic poked harder.

"Leave me alone, pirate. Or you'll be spitting out pieces of your ship." Seymore looked up at the mechanic with sleep glazed eyes. Finally, the weight of his eyelids won out once again, and he slumped forward on to a newly formed pool of saliva.

Frustrated, the mechanic grabbed Seymore tazer and after adjusting the setting, thrusted it directly into his neck. "Wake up, sir!" he shouted.

Seymore jolted strait up, stood at full attention and began singing the Charge of the Libby Brigade.

The mechanic grabbed a glass of water on a nearby table and splashed Seymore full on the face with water. "WAKE UP, SIR!"

Finally, jolted and doused, Seymore's eyes focused back to reality. "Huh, Where am I? What's going on? Mechanic Davies?"

"Yes sir," the mechanic replied. "Just wanted to tell you that you're ship is ready and waiting for flight. You told me you wanted to know, correct?"

Seymore could barely contain his joy. "Mechanic Davies, I love you." He reached to give the old man a hug and the mechanic backed away quickly.

The mechanic looked nervous. "A simple Thank you will do, sir."

"Then, thank you Mechanic Davies."

Seymore retrieved his tazer, wiped his face and uniform, and then ran out the door to go on patrol.
