"Excuse?" Marshall asked.
"After him, you idiots." Strauss shouted loudly enough for Marshall to hear it over mikesapartment the pounding of his feet, his loud breathing, and apartment the blood mikes apartment roaring in his ears. He burst out the lobby door and ran across the mikesapartment street apartment, much to the fury mikes apartment of those in traffic mikes. He kept mikes running until even mikesapartment the adrenaline mikesapartment of abject terror failed to energize his abused legs. He staggered, his momentum carrying him a few feet further although his spasming legs no longer resisted the mikes pull of gravity. He only just managed to apartment turn his head to the side before he would join have become mikes apartment Marshall Mushface, although consciousness did not mikes fare very well when pitted against concrete and momentum.
He awoke in an antiseptically mikesapartment clean room, aware that his legs no longer mikes hurt. Strangely, he found he was mikes not lying down, at mikesapartment least in the traditional sense of the word. Four females, standing about six feet in height, walked about before him join while he clung to the wall like a static-charged mikes balloon. He found he couldn't lift his hand, but he mikesapartment could mikes slide it along the surface, so it plainly wasn mikes't mikes shackled. Turning his eyes to the side, he saw others similarly adhered. Just beyond them was his suitcase full of mikesapartment money join. Fat lot of good it would do him when he was getting an anal probe mikes or mikesapartment whatever mikes, he thought.
No need apartment to mikes ask who's in charge here mikesapartment, Marshall thought.
Marshall mikesapartment ducked into the mikes first door he found which didn't look like an airlock mikes. He heard mikesapartment footsteps coming, but mikes there was no place to hide in the janitor mikes's mikes closet.
"Eat my dust, Spider-Man." he whispered to himself, flattening himself against apartment the door panel to mikes listen for more footfalls. He opened the door, peering around mikes until he felt the coast was clear, then crept join out mikes of his hiding place to find another already searched. He found himself mikes in a room about the size of mikes his last apartment, and the bed, desk and chairs indicated its function. The entry here was narrow enough mikesapartment for mikes him to climb as well, and climb he did when he again apartment heard footsteps in the corridor. The Queen strode in, holding mikes her head in the mikes manner of the stressed. Wonderful mikes, he thought to himself, I would pick Her Majesty's bedroom to hide in mikes. She set her crown and something else on the nightstand, and flopped backwards onto her bed, eyes squeezed shut against the light mikes apartment .
"Turn mikes on mikes the mikes lights." he mikes whispered.
"Computer, initiate privacy lock, authorization..." a string of nonsensical syllables streamed from her mouth, though mikesapartment her mikes voice was lowered so that the microphones in the apartment room could mikes barely hear her.
"By mikesapartment pressing the device to the mikesapartment forehead of the intended victim and pressing mikes one of the three buttons." the Queen replied, again without inflection.
"The mikes topmost button initiates a state of helplessness in the subject for a period of one hour." the mikes Queen said. "The subject can only obey commands given or answer questions asked."
A chime woke him, and he panicked as he realized it was mikesapartment his enslaved Queen's doorbell mikes apartment . He hid himself in mikes the closet and told Alienne to act mikes as she previously would have and pretend he wasn't there, in such mikesapartment a way as to not arouse suspicion. He listened as some subbie reported that the mikes escaped prisonar--Marshall--had mikes not been located, and Alienne, in her role as her former join, royal-bitch self, administered a suitable tirade. There were sounds of fear mikes and supplication, cut off by a mikes humming mikes sound.
"Yes, I also make my speeches there, and public mikes executions for mikesapartment the crew, and mikesapartment stage trials by combat, and..."
"May I mikes apartment help mikes apartment you, sir?" a cheerful voice asked. Kibrr's head automatically turned to face the one who had spoken--and he mikesapartment nearly defecated mikes apartment on himself in shock. It was the Queen, or a dead-on lookalike mikes apartment . A very, very mikes pregnant lookalike, judging from her swollen middle. She was obviously mikes very close mikes to term, and carrying twins at least. There was nothing in her eyes or apartment expression that said mikes apartment that this woman was capable of ruling a mikes planet mikes, a galaxy mikes, or even herself mikes. He spoke her name questioningly. "I apartment'm mikes sorry?" she asked, inclining mikes her head uncomprehendingly.
"Don mikes apartment 't know about any Queen, except on mikesapartment the mikes jukebox." the woman join called mikes Astra said. "Take him to mikes apartment see the boss, Alienne."
Alienne turned to Kibrr mikes apartment . "Come on, we'll talk to the manager, okay?" She grabbed him by the hand before mikes apartment he could protest. There was mikes a hint of her old join strength there, but she had softened considerably mikes apartment since contact was mikes apartment lost apartment with Agent 4ff6ed, who apparently mikes was going by mikes the name mikes Astra. "Alienne" was practically mikes apartment bouncing with glee. Apparently the prospect of seeing "the mikes manager" thrilled her. At the entrance to the medium-sized office, she released Kibrr's hand and knelt mikes at the side of mikes a human dressed in mikes the manner mikes of mikes those mikes who are well-off mikes. A female with cobalt-blue hair withdrew herself mikesapartment from mikes apartment his genitalia, and the former Queen attacked, deep-kissing apparently in an effort to glean some of this human's seed mikesapartment from the other mikes female's mouth.
"The girls are under instructions to bring people here mikes who ask about star agents or galaxy queens." the human said, putting away his sexual equipment. When he was properly situated, he rose and cleansed mikes his mikesapartment hands at a mikes sanitary facility nearby. Only when his hands apartment were mikes dry mikes did he extend one to mikes Kibrr. "If you're worried about join Queen What's-Her-Name taking over this or any other world, relax mikes." He pressed a device into Kibrr's hand. "I assure you, sir, that that woman mikesapartment no longer exists." Kibrr looked at the device and failed to repress a shudder. These things had been mikes outlawed in a thousand systems.
"No, thank mikes apartment you mikes, I really must be getting back to mikes the Council." Kibrr replied.
"I understand." Kibrr responded. "I would mikes probably do the same thing myself in your position. May mikes you mikesapartment live long and prosper, good sir mikes." The human raised one hand, fingers splayed in two apartment pairs, thumb extended.
"After him, you idiots." Strauss shouted loudly enough for Marshall to hear it over mikesapartment the pounding of his feet, his loud breathing, and apartment the blood mikes apartment roaring in his ears. He burst out the lobby door and ran across the mikesapartment street apartment, much to the fury mikes apartment of those in traffic mikes. He kept mikes running until even mikesapartment the adrenaline mikesapartment of abject terror failed to energize his abused legs.
