Kate was finishing up her hearty meal. Traveling always did make her hungry and on board a space craft was no exception. Of course, it never occurred to her she had the munchies. She stood up and walked over to the double doorway and was about to go through when she stopped and spun on her heel, surprisingly gracefully and hurried back to the table to grab the gourd that contained her precious wine.
“We are under orders to escort you back to your quarters,” stated one of the guards at the entrance.
“No problem, boys,” Kate mumbled. “Just lead the way. How the hell does one find your way round this joint? Goddamn, anyone would get lost in this labyrinth.”
She let out another absurd giggle, almost dropping her gourd. It was so silly, she thought, two guards behind her, two guards in front.
What the hell do they think I am going to do, beat them to a pulp?
