Aja ducked as bullets flew overhead. This was supposed to be a quick job. Get in, check out the port, see if it had potential to be a major shipping depot and then get back to other things.
As it happened, it was a great location for a major shipping depot, but the local pirates wanted to control it and liked to use kidnapping and murder as a way to maintain their control.
Now, it wasn't often that someone got the drop on Rico, but it did happen once in a blue moon, and Aja would always find a way to bail his arse out of the situation.
She looked over at the crew members to the right, she motioned for them to start flanking the group firing on them, then turned and did the same with the left. She knew she didn"t have to give them much instruction, this crew had been working together for years and had the moves down cold.
"Ya know something.." Aja hollered out to the shooters. "Yer really pissin me off and that is not good!"
"Surrender and we'll spare your life!"
"So ain't goin to happen!" she popped up and fired at the base of their hiding spot with the plasma pistol, they had chosen old wood, which was dry enough to catch fire with the plasma. "Ya surrender or I"ma gonna make ya inta BBQ!"
"If you want to see your first mate alive, I suggest you surrender." she peeked over at the man holding Rico at gunpoint. Well, wasn"t this just going swimmingly. She sighed a little and knew what she was going to have to do now. Rico wasn"t going to love this, but he"d be alive.
"What makes ya think yer gonna be able ta make it out of here if something happens ta him?" she called back pulling a small caliber weapon from its holster. She checked the ammo, then nodded as the plan fell into place.
"I don't think you?ll allow any harm to befall him." the pirate called back to her, she stood up and looked at him.
"Ya don't touch whut be mine." she aimed the small caliber weapon carefully and shot Rico in the leg. He stumbled stunning the pirate holding him and she fired her plasma weapon at the pirates head. He dropped to the ground making his men halt immediately. "Now. Ya see how I dealt with yer captain. Ya wanna live, yer all gonna drop yer weapons and mah men will come ta collect ya. Or...." she grinned. "I take ya all down. One by one. It be up ta ya."
They considered that she just shot her own man and then dropped their weapons. Her crew came to collect the men and she rushed to Rico.
"Ya alright?"
"You SHOT me!"
"Yes." she answered while getting the proper medical supplies out. "But tis a flesh wound." she grinned while putting pressure on the wound. "Yer gonna live."
"You. Shot. Me." Rico repeated and stared at her.
"Oh geez." Aja pausing in her medical attention to look at him plainly. " I jist saved yer arse. How long ya gonna hold dis against me?"
"For at least a week."
"Fine." Aja sighed as she tied the gauze on, back on the ship, the medic would take care of the rest. "Come on. Let's get ya home."
"I'm not kidding."
"I know, Ricks." she was saying as she got them up and moving.
"You're not worried about that?"
"No." Aja said moving him towards the docks. "Cause yer jist happy I came fer ya."
"Yes."
"And I made sure I used small caliber."
"Thanks ever so." Rico grunted as he put too much pressure on the leg. "You know I hate you right now, right?"
"Yep." she said while another crew member came to help her get Rico to the ship. She smiled as he leaned on her a little more. "I love you too."
