Sayeeda scowled as she watched the hangar door from the concealment of a busy ship chandler across the way. Several unobtrosive men and women were loitering about in seemingly casual positions but she knew a steak out when she saw one. They had landed safely enough and ditched the fighter as soon as they hit the deck. Neil had obviously been reluctant but they didn't need grand theft astro tacked onto their rapidly growing rap sheet. 

"Highlander Six to Highlander Four," Sayeeda subvocalised, triggering the net she had set up between her mastoid implant and Taya's sophisticated implant communicator. A cursory search wouldn't have revealed the hardware.

"Sayeeda," Taya's voice whispered in her ear, "There was some shooting at the hangar but the police came and sorted it out. I'm at the security annex now, they said they wanted to ask me some questions."

"Shit," Junebug sighed.

"What? This is a good thing right?" Taya's voice rose an octave in concern. 

"Uhhh... its a little complicated but Neil and I are going to have system wide arrest warrants issued in the next few minutes. There was a long and pregnant pause on the other end of the link.

"I see," Taya said with a flat deadpan that made Sayeeda grin inspite of herself. 

"They haven't arrested you or anything right? Any chance you can just walk out of there?" Sayeeda asked hopefully. There was another long pause while Taya considered it.

"Maybe, I'm in an interview room but they aren't securing it, Ill see if I can use a rest room or something and get out." Junebug nodded encouragingly although the girl couldn't see it over the link.

"Good, only use the comms if you have to, rendevous with us at the Hammered Cock once you are clear. Highlander Six Out."

Sayeeda picked up a signal transducer from a shelf and pretended to be examining it.

"Ok Neil, once we grab Taya, how are we going to beat a hangar lockdown?"
