The strip club was in a decrepit state of repair. The tables were dinted, glasses chipped and the lights were constantly flickering casting deep pools of shadows throughout the room. The only things in a good state of repair were the exotic dancers, all of whom were of first class quality.
Rurik sat in the corner of the bar watching an odd pair sitting in front of the stage, one Caldari and the other Gallente. The Caldari man was a traitor to the state and was supplying the Gallante Dogs of War, a terrorist organisation, with information on the positions and assets of the Caldari Navy. Rurik sneered in disgust at this man’s actions. Betraying your own nation who had provided for you since birth was the worst action a man could perform and was punishable by only one action: death. Despite his lack of patriotism though, the traitor could still be of use before he died.
The Gallente man was a Captain of the Dogs and was buying the traitors information. Rurik smiled in satisfaction as the two men exchanged data pads, one containing ISK and the other containing state information. Business done; now it was time for recreation. The Dogs Captain turned his attention to stripper on stage, a pretty young thing with bronze skin, long slim legs, firm breasts and a perfectly shaped body. The Dog had a weakness for pretty women and a taste for rough sex, enjoying beating the women as she lay tied up beneath him. Rurik leaned back in his chair and watched the striper put on a pair of stun-cuffs and began to dance across the stage.
She was good. She brought up that insatiable desire in men for the pleasures of the flesh, a desire Rurik suppressed, he had better things do with his time. The Dogs Captain though, Rurik noticed with satisfaction, didn’t have as much self control has he did. He sat in the chair sweating in need, he wanted this stripper and wanted her now. He called for the manger and began to barter for the stripper’s services. After coming to a satisfactory price the manger called the striper off stage gave her some instructions and sent her on her way. The Dogs Captain left the table and hurried out of the bar, eager to get back to his room.
After the Captain had left Rurik called over the barkeeper, there would be time for a couple of more whiskeys before he was needed elsewhere.

Leila glanced down at the sleeping form of the Dogs Captain. He had being unwilling to take the pills she had offered him before sex. She had claimed they would give him life and increase the pleasure he felt to which the Captain had responded with a blow against her face. The second time though he had been more than willing to take them, though they sent him into a coma like sleep instead of rejuvenating his tired body. The sex had been rough and Leila now had bruises across her body. She had suffered worse before though as an Amarr slave. The slightest misstep in her dance routine had result in a severe beating that night, often leaving her unable to work the next day. With the Empress’s proclamation that every slave of after the 9thgeneration was to be freed Leila had leapt at the chance to lead her own life.
Life was harsh though. She had lacked any skills that would let her integrate into society easily so she did the only thing she could, dance for the entertainment of men. That was all going to change now though. The Caldari man had offer her an extraordinary amount of credits if she could retrieve the data card that this man carried. It had being easy enough to do after she had drugged him. She looked down at his sleeping form and her hate for men welled up inside her. All her life they had treated her as their plaything and now it was her turn to get some revenge. Some justice after years of brutal treatment. She toyed with knife in her hand admiring its honed blade. It was the Dogs knife, which had being strapped to his arm. She pressed it lightly against his chest and watched in amazement as the blood began to seep out of the shallow cut in his chest. She drew her arm up knife poised to end the man’s life. This would be the last act of her old life. After this she would have a new life. A better life. The knife thudded down into the Captains’ chest.
Leila dressed quickly. She had some credits to collect and a new life to start.

Rurik sat in Leila’s apartment waiting for her to return with the traitor’s information. He didn’t care about the Gallente Dogs getting the information; he wanted it so he would know where they would be sticking next so he could ambush them. Such a loss would hurt them more than their failure to obtain the positions of the Caldari Navy’s assets. He glanced at the monitor next to him, Leila would be here soon. Rurik leaned back in his chair and continued to wait.
The apartment’s door slid open revealing the sumptuous figure of Leila.
“Did you obtain the data card?”
“Yes it’s here”
Rurik nodded in acknowledgment at the data card she produced from the folds of her dress. He brought his hand up from under the table and watched Leila’s eyes widen in surprise. Her mouth opened to scream but it was too late. The blasters bolt slammed into her chest knocking her against the wall. Rurik stood up from the chair and watched the life fade from Leila’s eyes.
“You may not realise it Leila, but I am being quite merciful here. You probably thinking I’m being cruel and unjust ending your life just as you no doubt felt like you were on verge of having another life; a better one. However, your actions would have caused you to be hunted down by the Gallente Dogs. You would have being caught and tortured and you would have told them who had hired you. I cannot have that. Your death was quick and merciful.”
Rurik stepped over to Leila’s body and retrieved the data card and walked out the door. It had being a successful evening.
