Intergalactic Terrorist (New Dimension Book 1)
Page 32
“Very good,” he said moving over to the steering square. A thousand little lights flashed on and began to twinkle in the electrical like Christmas lights.
“But how did you do it?” Charlie asked.
“I was at your trial my friend,” Greebol explained, “in disguise as a Waabba. I slapped a transport pad onto your back… just in case.”
Charlie reached around. Sure enough, there, on the back of his filthy shirt, was a small transport pad. Charlie smiled. “Thank you Greebol.”
“No need to mention it,” said the Gumthar. “It is the least I could do for my partner.”
Charlie frowned. Partner? He had never said that. But then… he was a wanted man now. No doubt the Overseer would be searching for him. As would the Wizards. No doubt the crazy priests and the animal-people would still be holding a bit of a grudge. What difference would being a bounty hunter make now? At least here he had a roof over his head and, potentially, food in his belly. Plus he could imagine a night in one of the stasis canisters would be the best sleep of his life. Much better than that lumpy bed filled with sweaty Turks back home.
“Very well,” he said at last, “you have your partner. But there are going to be a few changes around here. Like no killing!”
“No killing?”
“I mean it!” He really did. There had been far too much death for a man whose only experience of death had been his pet hamster. Even then he was never truly sure if Fat-Cheeks had actually died being sucked into that vacuum cleaner.
Greebol smiled. “I shall see what I can do.”
“You know,” Charlie had to add, “this doesn’t mean I like you.”
“I would not dream of thinking you did,” Greebol chuckled.
He entered the key into the ignition and the King George powered up, a low rumble vibrating through the ship that would happily pleasure the kind of girl who enjoys sitting on a washing machine. He plotted a new course.
“So what’s on the agenda?” Charlie asked, clapping his hands together, eager to get ahead in his new line of business.
“We head towards a nice little planet unfortunately named Wet-Flaps. A rich duke there has asked us to get rid of his mother-in-law. Seems the old bird cannot help getting involved in his marital affairs and this time she went one step too far; accused him of being too selfish in the bedroom!”
“Sounds simple enough,” said Charlie. “How difficult can one old lady be?”
“You haven’t seen this species before Charlie. Their females are twice the size of their males. And they increase in strength with age. I shall tell you my friend, the old aged citizens there are actually lethal with their walking sticks.”
“Now when you say ‘get rid’ of the old lady, what exactly do you mean?” Charlie asked in concern.
“Oh you know… pop her off,” came the response.
Charlie sighed. “That doesn’t really fit in with our new rule now does it?”
Greebol huffed and put his hands on his hips. “I can see you are going to cause me problems,” he said. “Very well… maybe we will not kill the old dear… how about we just slap her about a bit? Tell her to leave the duke alone? Maybe kick her in the dentures if she refuses?
“A little harsh,” said Charlie, “but acceptable.”
The Human took a seat and looked out of the porthole as Greebol began to steer the electrical out of the system. Had he made the correct choice in staying here? He guessed he would find out in due course. Probably on Wet-Flaps whilst having his balls broken by a macho granny. One thing was for sure… everything was going to be different from now on.
A giant boot on a large metal leg extended from the top of the King George and swung down, kicking it up its backside. The electrical, Greebol and Charlie Pinwright were thrust, faster than light, through space into the expanse of the new dimension.
The new dimension which, like Charlie himself, was here to stay.
The New Dimension Series
Intergalactic Terrorist is the first in a number of stories set in the New Dimension, with hundreds of worlds to explore and thousands of characters to meet!
Charlie Pinwright may not be the focus of every book, but he will return and no doubt disaster is bound to follow!
The next book in the series is currently being written and just happens to star a smaller-than-average Dwarf that, after winning the tournament between the Dwarves and the Elves, has found himself shooting to stardom! Leaving his old ways behind and living the ultimate celebrity lifestyle, he thinks he has everything. But he may soon realise that there is something missing in his life…
Watch out for the second New Dimension Book coming soon from J. F. Monahan!
