Do You Take This Man Hunter
by Rick D. Stuart
How lovely my darling Zira looks today and what a coup I’m bringing in on her dowry ...
“We have assembled here today ...”
... once I get hold of her fortune, I can use it to corner the hueris traffic in this entire sector.
“... concerning this man and woman ...”
She looks positively radiant. And what a gorgeous wedding outfit. Pretty big if you ask me, though; you
could hide a grenade launcher under those folds ...
“Do you, My Lord, now take ...”
“... yeah, yeah, sure, sure ...”
... I don’t remember those flowers over there ...
“... And do you, My Lady, take ...”
... what’s that snaking out from behind those two tall vases ...
“... by the power invested in me I now pronounce you ...”
... it’s a blaster muzzle, I’d swear it!
“Get down darling!”
Blaster fire! The podium blown away! Get those skirts out of my way ... there he is ...
“... you missed, do you hear me, and I’ll give you another chance ... try to gun me down at my own wedding
will you ... dirty, stinking bounty hunter scum!
“There my darling, it’s all right. We got the stinking bounty hunter. Let me help you up. I think ...”
Click!
“Wha ... where did you get those cuffs? Take these of me immediately. I don’t understand, darling, darling,
where did you get that blaster, I don’t under-”
“Do be quiet now, my sweet, and do come along quietly.”
“But Zira, I don’t ...”
“The name’s Zardra, not Zira. By the way, thanks for taking out the competition for me. Now move it,
buster! You’re worth 50,000 credits to me and I aim to collect! Oh, I guess you’ll be wanting your ring back now ...”
