... Phil\'s new Acquisition ...

Jack and Melissa wandered down the street, back towards the shuttle
station, Jack with a new patch over his left eye, a black one,
almost like the ones the space pirates wore. There was a load of
the Blue Dwarf Crew piling into a club/pub in their way...
"Hey! whats going on here?" Jack called to them all, and spied Phil,
Jay and Seymour by the bar.
"ahh, sorry." he said, turning to melissa, "but i've gotta go give
something to someone." he finished, and dashed into the pub.
"get out of my way!" Jack shouted, pushing the lowlifes out of his
path. He finally emerged near the group.
"Phil... I have something for you." Jack said, and handed over the
Quicky.
"wha...?" Phil said, his mouth dropping open even more than when
seymour didn't explode over the alcohol on his suit. He held the
quicky infront of him, and gawped at it.
"What happened to your eye man?" seymour asked, pointint to it
bluntly, Jack just looked him in one of the eyes, as looking him in
both would have required he himself to have two eyes.
"don't even bother." he said, felling a bit bitter.
"you want a pint?" Seymour asked, Jack looked at him.
"are you ok?" he asked.
"Never better!" seymour said, handing a pint over from the table,
for once in his life, Jack turned it down.
"I'm never going to touch that blasted OH group again." he said,
with more intelligence showing than anyone ever thought he had.
"what the?" everyone said, "whats wrong man?" Seymour asked again.
"I don't wanna talk about it." he said, turning around, Melissa had
appeard next to him, and put her arm around him, forcing him to turn
back to the group.
