Velorum was fondling the edges of the sofa’s upholstery. He seemed to be totally transfixed. The tantrum was over, for now. Between him and the couch was a wooden table. It wasn’t large but it was topped by a glass pane. Inside was a tiny Zen garden of stones and gravel. Jack lifted his feet on the table and leaned back in the couch. He was holding his injured right hand in his left. Now he knew the alien’s bone structure was also superior to his. “So…” Jack started up the conversation once again. “Little Green Men?”

The Alien
The door to the small apartment burst open. Jack threw the crimson haired man inside and shut it quickly behind him. “What the hell were you thinking?” He asked in the loudest whisper he could muster. He knew the alien was letting him do this. With more than thrice his own speed and strength, Velorum could rip his head apart and be out the door before he himself hit the floor. The alien wanted to be reprimanded. He half sat, half fell on the moldy sofa and stared out the shuttered window into the dark city scene. “You are supposed to be keeping a low profile. Care to explain what happened in the alley?” “I’m pissed off!”
