"Took you long enough," Vickie said as Josh and Mike stood beside her.
"Oh, pardon us, great Master," Josh spit out with sarcasm. He dropped his blade to block an errant bolt. "It wasn't like you were just down the street.
She sighed. "We need to keep the others protected while they down them with stun weapons."
"Are you out of your mind? This is getting a bit out of hand!" Josh was upset. Another bolt ricocheted off his blade.
"We do not kill, Josh. That leads to the Dark side." Her blade spun in a circle, deflecting shots from her companions. As far as she was concerned, the conversation was over.
Josh had other ideas. "Right, and conspiring with Llessur to separate Becki and Thayer doesn't?"
Mike, now completely fed up with the two of them, turned and shouted, "Would you two shut the hell up?! I'm tired of your bickering. You're both at fault, so get over it. We've got a bloody job to do." He huffed, whispering under his breath and went back to blocking shots.
"I am not a git or a smeg head, Mike," Vickie replied. "Arnold Rimmer has nothing on me." She grinned broadly and giggled.
Mike could not help himself as he let out a chuckle.
