Tears of The Rose-Chp25

(Few hours later, they've reached Planet Genma 4.0)

Hater: This is the place.

Sylvia: Good. (thinks; Pipsqueak you better be okay...)

[the tracking device tht Hater was using to track his craft beeped, indicating where he landed]

Hater: He's around here.

Sylvia: Let's get landing.

[the duo landed the ship right on the docks, then they both followed the tracking device tht led them to the ship tht was in the middle of being ransacked n cleared out by a bunch of local dock workers]

Hater: (looking around to see any sign of Peepers)

Sylvia: Pipsqueak??

Worker: Woah, woah, coming thru! Impound in progress here!

Hater: (blinks) Um, excuse us, but have you seen-?

Worker: Who're u? U the owner of this ship?

Hater: Yes, but we're looking for a-

Worker: Well, if u own this ship, ur too late. We're impounding n confiscating anything tht is worth the ovrdue rent here. N we're selling the ship parts to the chop shop to cover the outstanding fines too. Rules r rules [turned to the other workers] Pick up the pace here, boys! Everything must go, go, go!

Sylvia:....(grabs the worker) WE'RE LOOKING FOR HIS SECOND IN COMMAND, A WATCHDOG TO BE PERCISE, NOW HAVE YOU SEEN ONE OR NOT??

Hater: o.o

Worker: Geez! Wat the hell, lady?! Wat crawled up ur butt n died? I dont knw anything abt a Watchdog. Wat is tht, ur pet? [obviously nvr heard of Peepers' species before]

Sylvia: No, he'd have a giant eyeball for a head. Have you even seen anyone like that??

Hater: ^^;;

Worker: Maybe, I dunno. I just work here. U wanna find out, go to our reception area, they're the ones who deal with ppl who hand in their keys or controls after they park their vehicle

Hater: Uh, thanks. ^^;; (goes over to reception area with Sylvia)

Receptionist: [stamping books n coupons n keeping records of entries]

Hater: (enters with Sylvia) Excuse us, but we're...

Receptionist: Hi, welcome to Planet Genma 4.0, may I help u?

Sylvia: We're looking for a Watchdog, little guy with an eyeball for a head, have you seen him?

Receptionist: Oh yes, I remember seeing tht fellow. He came here abt a mth ago. He's long overdue on his dock rental tho. Our boss told us to impound his ship to cover the cost n fines.

Hater: (blinks) ...He's working here?

Receptionist: No, he said he's here to take a break from work n left his keys here. Haven't seen him since

Sylvia: When have you seen him last?

Receptionist: Hmm, can't say. He did mention something abt going to somewhere with higher altitude, prolly to our mountainous regions up north

Hater: We'll look up there then, thanks.

Receptionist: Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Sylvia: It's fine, we'll work with what we got.
