Just turn on with me and you're not alone,
Let's turn on and be not alone,
Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful,
Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful,
Oh gimme your hands.

"You found him?" Hallan rubbed his hands together over his empty glass.
"I found him," Korvan tipped his drink back and gulped it's contents.
"You know what I want right?"
"Unidentifiable, but alive,"
"Exactly. We'll edit the DNA records and..." Hallan looked up at Resika as she walked over to their table, "Hey babe," He reached out and took one of the drinks she carried.
Resika looked at the two men and raised her eyebrow, "Shop talk?"
"You'll be bored," Hallan said before sipping on his new glass.
"Try me," She said with a smile.
"Well, I'd just finished dueling an Omen in my Rifter," Hallan leaned back and looked at Korvan who just shook his head, "Ard calls out that he's narrowed down a Hulk inside an Arnstur wormhole, naturally I head over there and set up camp on the other side of the hole,"
"What does a wormhole look like?" Resika interupted, "My Bestower's never run into one,"
"It's really just a giant swirly thing," Korvan chimed in, "I found one myself up in Balginia,"
"Yeah, if you look really closely you can see what the system on the other side looks like," Hallan's glass was empty again already.
Resika looked at Hallan for a moment and then back at the glass, "I suppose you're going to be lazy again and go without,"
"Maybe," Hallan smiled at her as she stood and headed back to the bar.
"We'll change the DNA records to match this Torval Gumak charactor. He's wanted for what, rape?"
"He's a serial rapist," Korvan said with a frown, "Our guys grabbed him in Boundless yesterday,"
"And?"
"After a bit investigation, I put a bullet in his stomach and threw him in a fire,"
"Sounds about right," Hallan paused again as Resika returned with his drink, "You didn't have to do that, but I appreciate it,"
"Uh huh, you finished your story already didn't you?" She took a drink from her own glass and leaned on the table.
"Nah, I was just talking to Korvan about how he likes working for me,"
Korvan laughed and said "Chief Security Officer has such a nice ring to it. I can almost forget what a total piece of shit I work for."
"That's it," Hallan said while looking at the ceiling, "You are now vice president in charge of... Waste Management,"
"Shouldn't your new COO have a say in that kind of thing," Resika said with mock anger.
"Babe, I own all the stock," He motioned to the bar, "I own the property. Good/Arms Inc. is Hallan Turrek,"
Resika stuck her tongue out at Hallan who did the same while crossing his eyes.
Korvan looked around, "So what happened inside the wormhole,"
"Simple in, simple out, We killed the Hulk, popped the pod, and stole all his ore,"
"Big payout?" Korvan asked.
"Could be huge," Hallan said with a yawn.
"Ugh," Resika said, "Ok you were right," She walked over to Hallan, and bent over to kiss him on the cheek, "I'll be at your place,"
"Alright babe, I'll wrap up things here and head over," He pulled her in for a kiss and she put up a mock struggle.
Korvan looked over at another girl that he'd been glancing at all night. She was looking at him and smiling.
"I'll see ya," Resika said before turning to walk away.
Korvan turned back to Hallan as his eyes wandered to Resika's departing form, "My god that's a nice ass,"
"I know!"
Korvan adjusted in his seat and put his elbows on the table, "Hal, Why not just kill this guy?"
"Because he'll suffer more in a Minmatar prison,"
"But it's a pretty elaborate setup for such a small payoff,"
"It's what I want done. Cut out his tongue, take his feet, face and teeth. I want his hands. Wipe his identity away. Tomorrow he's going to be serial rapist Torval Gumak, and no one will want to help him with the pain you leave him with. He made the mistake of putting out a contract on me, I want him to remember how much of a mistake that is," Hallan finished his drink and stood up to put his coat on.
"One day you're going to have to let her in on all these horrible things you've done and have people do. She's a nice girl Hal,"
"That's why she can't know,"
Let's turn on and be not alone,
