Page 62

At night, Rico returns to his living space above the diner. He hangs up his apron and tosses a bunch of small rectangular chips, clear with a metallic line and symbol running through them, into a jar labeled "Ride Home $". His tips have started to add up and the jar is looking like it's off to a good start.

The next day, Rico is cleaning up in the restaurant in the morning and setting out the supplies. He wipes down a counter as the customers start to fill in for breakfast.

As Rico bends forward towards the camera to clean a table, we see his eyes go wide. A tentacle is slipping out below the frame, there's a sucker mark on Rico's wobbling cheek and his skirt flutters. Some aliens in the background snicker to each other.

Rico spins around and decks the tentacled alien, lifting it up out of its seat, over the back of the booth, and tumbling several tables away. The aliens sharing the table look horrified, but none of the other customers or workers react strongly.

Author's Notes:

So, huh, Rico is NOT the type of person to go for that kind of thing. Who knew?
