Gap [1] The Real Story: The Gap Into Conflict - Plot & Excerpts
Perhaps he could have sold Morn’s favors for the money he needed to get Bright Beauty made whole. Power over her would have brought a much higher price there than on Com-Mine Station. And—assuming Nick Succorso followed him—he could have faced his enemy in a more naked and therefore fairer arena. He would have been better off if he’d simply undocked from Com-Mine Station, launched a few torpedoes at Captain’s Fancy, and then fled for his life. He would have been better off if he’d killed Morn Hyland and ashed her in Bright Beauty’s thruster tubes. In fact, from moment to moment during the next two standard weeks he fully intended to do any one or all of those things. But he didn’t. Instead, he worked on arranging Nick’s destruction. First, of course, he took care of Bright Beauty. He had her serviced as thoroughly as possible without major repairs. He paid for X-ray analysis to test her shell and bulkheads for metal fatigue.
