Sitting in her corner Cori ordered a whiskey paying the bar keep to leave the bottle so she could serve herself. It would work well when she was ready to drug the two unfortunate soldiers whose uniforms they were going to sell. With her pouring the drinks she could easily slip either the sedative or Yohimbe powder into the drink. Her eyes fell on a pair of soldiers standing next to the bar. They were ensigns judging by the belt that ran across their chests and the berets tucked into the belt. Even if she didn't have her Independent training to recognize the ranks, growing up she had been around enough soldiers to know what was what. She glanced over to the door seeing it open and Michelangelo walk in heading to a table close to hers but not the same one. He was close enough for them to speak without being seen together. "By the bar. Those two are so green it almost isn't fair." Cori said, lowly taking a sip of her drink.
“Second thoughts?” Michelangelo asked in a similar voice as he made his spot at the table comfortable. His eyes quickly studied the two indicated; Easy targets normally don't appeal to the pilot as the challenge made the pranks worthwhile. However in this, easy is safer and safer is better. He raised a hand to the barkeep beyond them ordering a drink.
"Not at all." Cori said, holding her hand out for the sedative. "I did say almost. These bastards deserve whatever they got coming to them and more. You of all people should know the kind of assholes the Alliance are." She chuckled thinking of what was going to happen to the two of them. They were green but they had that smug better than you look to them. Cori had to admit this might be more satisfying than just beating the crap out of them.
Michael threw his poncho over himself after redressing. Thankfully his hood and collar covered the marks Mei left on his neck and shoulder. He was feeling much more relaxed as he carried the box with her back to the ship. "Ok we're dropping this off and headed back out." Lowering the ramp Michael set Mei's things just inside before closing it again. The Black Orchard was easy to find and the two entered the establishment. "I see them over there." Michael started moving toward the two with Mei in tow.
Cori saw King and Mei walk into the bar, she stood grabbing her bottle and headed over to the pair. As she got closer she noticed King's hair was wet and Mei's looked like it had been blown dried recently. Her eye brow arched at King as she walked right past him and embraced Mei kissing her on both cheeks then the lips, "Darling so good to see you." She said, her Spanish accent disappearing and being replaced with that of a Southern belle. She linked her arm in Mei's no doubt leading a very confused companion away from the captain and to the bar. Before breaking eye contact with King she nodded over to where Michelangelo was sitting.
They reached the bar and Cori positioned them right next to the two Alliance soldiers bumping lightly into one of them with her bottom. She set her bottle down on the counter and looked to the bartender, "Two glasses for my friend and I." She said, her arm resting on Mei's and stroking it softly. "You know darling I must say I am mighty appreciative of you schooling me in the arts of love. As much as my father would disapprove I do believe it is going to help me find a husband. A girl must know how to keep her man happy." Cori said, loud enough to force the two soldiers to eavesdrop on them hopping that Mei would pick up on what she was doing and play along. She was springing this on Mei with no warning but when she had seen the companion walk in with King the idea popped in her head and was surely to draw the soldiers to them. King wouldn't approve of it but it was too late to back out now. So in a way she had blind sided him as well, granted he should have been expecting it from Cori. She always was the sort to act first and not care about the consequences.
Michelangelo quickly scooped the majority of the pills from his pocket, discreetly handing them to Cori. Sitting at his table the youth pondered the best way to get the young purple bellies to his table and the drinks flowing. Smiling at the waitress who brought him his drink Mikey paid her, anything further was interrupted by Cori’s sudden beeline. Following her movements with his eyes the pilot ordered a beer from the waitress.
“Fancy seeing you here.” Michelangelo said as the Captain joined him, the waitress setting the beer before Michael.
"Cori is out and about in an Alliance owned establishment. That usually means I have a mess to talk her out of and or pay people to look the other way." Michael had a drink of his own. "So do you want to fill me in on what's going on or is this another surprise the captain deals and I have to just watch and react?"
Mei was a little bit confused when Cori dragged her and acted around her like they were friends for a long time. When Cori talked she was once again shocked and felt like something was amiss. Since she was now part of the crew she gave Cori the benefit of the doubt.
"Oh shush you! There's no need to thank me, I'm always glad to share my experiences, especially the ones that involved night time activities."
Mei replied letting out an alluring laughter as she flipped her loose hair to the side and giving the soldiers, which she saw Cori giving a peek, shy glances. Mei wondered of she read Cori's intention right. If ever she was wrong she can easily correct it.
Cori smiled and patted Mei lightly on the arm signalling she was on the right path. Her feeling about Mei had been right and she picked up her intention. Mei had been in the meeting and knew they would need uniforms. Acting like this made Cori think back to her life before the war, more carefree. This was hardly the first time she had played stupid, in her old life it was something she did often as powerful people like to feel superior. Cordelia Sexton had been an expert at tricking people into what she wanted. She poured a couple of glasses pushing one to Mei as she picked up her own and took a drink. Then she let out a playful giggle that was your typical drunk girl laugh. The few drinks she had was no where near what it took to get her drunk but she could fake it. The injection she had taken earlier was doing a fine job of keeping her high and playing a drunk ditz was easy. Without it she would have worked harder on her acting as her default these days was moody, broody and angry.
"Oh playing with you has just been marvelous and I have enjoyed it so much. But when are we going to get to play with a boy or two? I am supposed to be learning how to get a husband." Cori laughed then playfully smacked Mei's shoulder and staggered back a bit like she was was uneasy on her feet. Taking a step back she knocked into one of the soldiers. "If I didn't know better I would think you were taking advantage of me."
“Hold on a second.” Mikey said, motioning for the captain to sit, “Are you saying that you think Cori needs a babysitter?”
Michelangelo leaned back suddenly hurt. “Are you saying you don't think I would be a good babysitter?”
Michael nearly spit out his drink as he watched Cori. "She's not seriously doing that is she?"
“You avoided my questions.” Mikey saided faking insult. “I will not answer yours. Not without a bigger cut.”
Michael cast the young pilot an annoyed look. "No I don't. I think you need a babysitter young blood."
Mei saw that Cori bumped into one of the soldiers confirming her hunch that this persons seemed to be their targets. She stood up and went to the guards with a coyish smile her eyes appeared to have little haze in it making her appear like she was a little bit tipsy. Mei placed her hand on top of the soldiers shoulder slowly sliding it down sensually to the side of his arm, her eyes tracing the soldiers trained body.
"I'm sorry mister soldier, my friend didn't mean it. She was just feeling a little lonely. Can I bother you to forgive us?"
Mei looked up her tongue slowly licked her lips making it appear glossy and inviting alluring the two soldier because she seemed like she was begging for attention. The two soldier chuckled having their interest caught by Mei making the two focus on the girls in front of them.
"If we ever offended Mr soldier, my friend and I are willing to offer anything just to apologize."
She added tilting her head to the side a little while drawling her words out, her cheeks became red as she made her eyes looked like it was burning with wanton desire. From the eyes of the two soldiers she can clearly see that the two fancied them and that she already got them hooked in their trap. Continuing with her act she chided Cori like a little child from her mistake in front of the two while giving the soldiers an inviting glance paired with a sexy smirk.
Gods, the woman was good. The two soldiers had to be turned on by the sight of Mei's performance, Cori sure knew she was. Being with a companion was unlike anything else. They were trained in the art of pleasure and the heights they could take someone to were amazing. It had been some time since Cori had sought out the services of a companion not since before the war. It was a little out of her price range. She was sure her account was still on the companion rolls and it would be charged to her father but it would also give away where she was. Cori wasn't about to give that away. No doubt her mother would send someone to bring her back to New Cardiff. She put her best pout on her face looking at Mei then the soldiers. "Perhaps you would like to join us?" Cori said, holding up the bottle up.
"We're not on duty again until tomorrow morning so why not." One of the soldiers said, gesturing to the barkeep for a couple more glasses. His friend smiled and wrapped on arm around each of the girl's waists guiding them over a table. It wasn't in the area of Michelangelo and King but in clear view of them. While they walked Cori discreetly poured the Yohimbe powder and sedatives into the bottle, swirling it around to mix it. The four of them came to the table where the two men sat down.
Cori leaned into Mei acting like she lost her balance again, she pressed a kiss to Mei's neck as a clumsy attempt to cover her stumble and whispered in her ear, "Don't drink from the bottle." Before sitting herself down on one of the soldier's laps and filling two more glasses.
Mei heard Cori's warning loud and clear. She shot the other girl an amused teasing look. She copied Cori and also sat down at the others lap, intentionally grinding down at the other while she tried to make herself comfortable, making the soldier grunt a little bit from the teasing. Mei can feel that a certain part of the soldier was reacting making her release a knowing smile at soldier.The soldier's face heated up as the desire from his lower half kept rising at her hidden ministrations. Mei took one of the glass and brought it closer to the soldier.
"Care for a drink Mr soldier? I really find it a turn on especially when a man can drink well."
Mei then leaned down till her mouth was leveled with the man's ear while finally passing the drink in the soldiers hand. The soldier gripped the glass as his free hand snaked towards Mei's waist and gripped a little tightly trying to control himself from ravaging the woman in his lap already.
"It really turns me wild in bed."
She added nibbling down the soldiers ear before letting go moving her head a little further from the soldiers head and sending him a flirtatious glance as her fingers played with the soldiers uniform.
It didn't take very long for the two soldiers to finish of the bottle neither one of them noticing that Cori and Mei had barely touched their own. The sedatives would be kicking in quite soon and Cori could tell sitting on the soldier's lap that the Yohimbe powder already had. They would need to get them out of the bar before they passed out. "Say, why don't we get out of here and go somewhere a little more private. I've got a room just up the road." Cori said, removing herself from the lap of the soldiers and holding her hand out. Before they left the bar they walked passed King and Michelangelo, Cori gesturing to the bottle for one of them to pick it up before following.
The four of them stumbled down the road the two soldiers leaning heavily on the ladies. They were almost to one of the farms when the soldier hanging on Cori fell over. His friend stumbled over to him and slapped him on the face a couple of times, "Damn fool can't hold his own liquor. Oh well means I get both of you to myself." He said, standing up and pulling Mei to him fondling her as he did.
He tried to reach for Cori but she pulled away. "Bun tyen-shung duh ee-dway-ro." Cori muttered. "Will you pass out already?"
"What?" The soldier was barely able to say before Cori decked him causing him to let go of Mei and fall top of his friend.
"Guess I did get a few blows in." Cori said, kicking the fallen soldier a couple of times.
Michelangelo casually watched the womenfolk as they worked the marks. He took small drinks to keep from getting buzzed, but he ordered a second drink for himself. “You should relax Captain. Have some faith in your crew.”
Mikey knuckled his forehead as Cori passed. He waited a moment before going to grab the bottle, beating the waitress with a small smirk. He offered a shrug before heading back to the captain. “Early day tomorrow, skip should head out now.”
Once Mikey secured the bottle in his grasp he stood up exited the Black Orchard, following after his first mate and companion, Youngblood in tow. He caught up in time to see Cori deliver several kicks to one of the men who was down. “Cori!” Michael barked. “Enough.” The captain crouched down next to him, examining the damage. “It’s bad enough we’re stealing their shit but if we return them damaged we’ll be in a lot more trouble. I can only talk us out of so much shit.” After checking to see if nothing was broken and satisfied with the light bruising he stood back up, he looked at Cori. “You good?”
Michelangelo shook his head. “Lets get them outta sight.” He said grabbing the boots of one of them and dragging him towards a nearby darkened alcove. “Hurry up. Sooner we're done the better.”
"The bastards deserve it." Cori said, helping Michelangelo drag the soldiers out of site. Luckily they passed out right next to a pig farm. It took a little maneuvering them to remove their clothing and put them in a compromising position inside the pig pen. When they woke up later they won't be reporting any sort of theft. Cori doubted they would even try to brag about the women they had hooked up with. "Trust me King you won't be talking your way out of anything because these soldiers are going to see to it that this incident never happened." Cori said, taking the uniforms and folding them up before sticking them in a bag she had brought. "Kid, remind me not to piss you off any time soon."
