Here's Ch 143-Pt 3-K&K
Keisie tapped in for 'birdie' and she and Jett high-fived each other in celebration. The match was theirs! Trace and Nat shook hands with the victors and the rest of the group followed suit. After a quick trip to the '19th hole' (the clubhouse bar) for the celebratory 'boozing it up' round Gene noticed that it was almost 1800 hours and already the temperature had plunged twenty degrees Kelvin!
"This place gets damned cold real fast when you're this high up in the mountains, kids. Time to leave so grab your stuff and let's be off." announced their pilot.
"Anybody seen Flaysie, Caggie, Rally and Faye around?" asked Jett, stowing away the booze he'd just purchased.
"If I know our Faye, she's at the track." replied Spike dryly.
"Just one skysled's missing, gang." said Saavie.
"Flaysie did mention that she and Rally wanted to do some shopping so Caggie probably went along to keep 'em outta mischief." chuckled Goat.
"Where's Jamie gotten to?" asked Jimbo.
"He's trying to call home (New Jersey USA on Terra). He bought himself a vidcell comlink cellphone thingy at the pro shop. He's trying to call Coop in Jersey." replied Goat.
"Ex-cuse me, guys but I just saw a hot blonde space chick and she's giving me the 'eye' if you catch my drift, man!" added Goat with a grin and a wink.
"Whoa there, Lover-Boy! We've got four missing crewmen and you're not gonna make it five, pal!" said Keisie, collaring the Terran wolf/lecher in a grip of kelvinite!
"Aw, nuts! I can't get hold of Coop, man! He must be out with Kiva (not the 'Starfleet' one. This Kiva was on Terra with Jamie and Goat's crowd in New Jersey.) and MEGAS (their giant robot from the future!). Where are the girls?" said Jamie, pocketing his vidcell.
"We figured they went shopping and Faye went to the track." supplied Saavie.
"So- they did go after all, eh? Thought they'd be back by now though! After all, Mars ain't all that far away from here, is it?" replied Jamie perplexedly.
"Mars! It took the 'Prince' two solar days to get here from Mars and that was on warp drive, kid! A sled's absolute highest speed is Sub-Warp nine! It'll take them a week at least just to get there!" yelled Starwind.
"Christ! A skysled's only got enough fuel for a few hours at most! We gotta get after those jackasses- but quick!" replied a very upset and fuming Keisie.
