The limosuine that had Jerome, John, Janell and Connie in it arrived at the spaceport around the time that Jim and Aisha left Pete's Pit for the spaceport. Aisha and Jim had to get the car in front of Starwind and Hawking Enterprises and drive at break-neck speed to the spaceport. Aisha was perfectly willing to eat Pete, but she didn't eat garbage like that.

"Why isn't the ship ready yet?!" asked Jerome to a man with long blond hair that looked to be a pilot. Connie, Janell and John was off to one side. John was looking down at the pavement. He had given up on escpaing just now, becuase he would end up in the belly of Janell or her daughter.
"Jerome, ships take time to get ready for space travel" said the pilot. "you have to..."
"Yes,yes" said Jerome. "I know that...but I want to get off this planet before we have company"
"You're expecting trouble?" asked Janell.
"I always expect trouble" said Jerome, taking out a cigar and lighting it.
The group was standing in front of a tall blue-and-gold spaceship, not far from where the Outlaw Star was parked at, actually. Only John seemed to be the only one looking at the Outlaw Star.
Janell was offering to eat the pilot for the delay, when a car honked nearby. The car honking made the group look around and spot Aisha and Jim coming at them. Jerome smirked and so did Janell. Connie looked scarred and John looked excited. Aisha hadn't eaten Jim after all! But why? Didn't Ctarl-Ctarl eat Terrans?
"Let go of John!" yelled Aisha when she came within earshot of the small group. That's when Aisha noticed Janell and Connie.
"Afraid I can't do that" said Jerome.
"You better let John go" said Jim, who had pulled out a blaster. "or I'll let Aisha eat all of you"
"And how do you suppose to defeat us with the only two of you?" sneered Janell.
"Like this!" yelled Aisha and rushed forward and grabbed Jerome roughly. "let go of John or I'll kill your boss"
"Is that supposed to scare me?" asked Jerome. Then, something impossible happened. Jerome pulled Aisha's hands away from his throat. Aisha was straining to keep her hand where it was, but Jerome was too strong for her. That had happened only one time before, when Aisha wrestled with a werewolf.
"What are you?" asked Aisha after Jerome managed to break free of Aisha's grip. "a Terran isn't THAT strong!"
"Who says I'm a Terran?" asked Jerome.
