Three Card Monte (The Martian Alliance) - Plot & Excerpts
Dr. Wufren shared with us, his watery blue eyes twinkling, as we all sat down to dinner.“And from Polliworld,” Bullfrog added, as he grabbed his plate from one of Tresia’s pincers.“Is this paying news or just gossip?” Roy asked.Doven’s feathers ruffled. “Why does the news need to be paying? Don’t we still have plenty left over from our last job?”Our last job had been a complicated con for the Andromeda Royal Family. As far as I knew, we still had plenty left over.Everyone looked expectantly at Roy. He grimaced. “You know, we’re not just supporting ourselves. We’re helping to run an underground resistance.”Kyle rolled his eyes. “Here it comes, DeeDee,” he said to me in a stage whisper. “The ‘Martian Alliance Speech’ again.”Roy gave his little brother a dirty look. “You, of all people, should care.”I patted Roy’s knee. “It’s okay, oh captain, my captain. We’re all one with the cause.”The others all nodded or murmured their assent, most with their mouths full.
