It's no fun, chap 2

Chapter 2

Alice.
Holy fucking shit, he had done it now. Rabbit knew he was out of time. Frantically grabbing his meager belongings from the floor, Rabbit starting packing his ruck sack as quickly as possible.
Alice. Fuck. Everyone had heard of Alice. Not only was she the Queen's new paramour, but rumor had it she was the best hack this side of the continent. There was no way the Queen would go long without discovering Alice missing. He was dead. "I'm late," he muttered, "so fucking late."
Alice watched his rapid scamper about the room for a second, a slight bemused look on her face. Then she stood, retrieving her bra, and spoke. "Calm down, little man," she tried calming Rabbit down. "We have time, but not much. As I told you last night, when I hired you, that I had a hologram set up to fool my guards. But that won't fool the Queen."
Rabbit froze, "what she told him last night?" She hired him last night? He remembered none of this. Just how drunk had he really been? Looking at the beautiful Alice stand up, now clad in panties and bra, and reach for her clothes, Rabbit asked her just that question, somewhat involuntary.
Alice's replied, as she got dressed, "Apparently, a lot more than I thought. I hired you last night to get me out of Wonderland. You said you were the best smuggler in town, that no one would catch you. So I paid you to take me away from here. In cash, not credit. Check your bag, that's where you hid it."
Standing, Alice added, " But do it quick, we need to be going. I don't want to be running behind. I like my head on my shoulders. " Rabbit checked his bag, sure enough there was the sack full of coins. More than he would have expected. He must have charged her a ton, not believing her story. That sounded like him. "But why the sex, then?" Rabbit asked. He didn't usually mix business with pleasure.
Alice paused in closing her bag and smiled at him. "Because you have a penis and I love sex. And without the Queen, I can have whomever I want. Now, enough questions, we need to be going now. Where's your ship?"
"That's a good question," Rabbit thought. He honestly didn't know, and all this new information was starting to make his head hurt even more. Shouldering his bag, Rabbit led the way out of the room with Alice following behind. He might not know, but starting here wouldn't help him find it. Plus Alice was pretty insistent they leave right then.
Alice. Fucking Alice. What kind of shit had he gotten himself into now?
