Connie pulled out a pill from one of her pockets. It looked like an oridnary pill, except for the fact it was a little over ten inches long and was bright purple. Aisha looked at the pill at her face brightened a bit. Jim stared at the pill.

"What is it?" asked Jim.

"My mom had thses pills" said Connie. "they're anti-digesting pills for us Ctarl-Ctarl. They can keep a Terran alive in our stomachs for 24 hours"

"And you want me to hide in your stomach?!" asked Jim, who didn't like the idea of being in a Ctarl-Ctarl's belly for a second time--even if he wasn't going to be digested. Being in a Ctarl-Ctarl's belly once was quite enough for Jim!

"Jim, you're a wanted felon in the Empire" said Aisha. "if they find you in this pod, they'll order me to eat you...or to use you as my scratching post"

Jim shruddered to think himself as a scratching post for any Ctarl-Ctarl.

"It's the only way you'll be safe" said Connie. "I know you don't like the idea, but it's way better than the alternative!"

"One pill, two ctarl-ctarls...." Jim muttered to himself.

"I think you better take this" said Connie, handing over the pill to Aisha. "I can't manage him with my small stomach"

"It's your choice, Jim" said Aisha, taking the pill. "either way, you'll end up in my belly...or be tortured to death. But if I take this pill and eat you, you'll be safe"

"For 24 hours" Jim pointed out.

"Hey, a lot of Ctarl-Ctarl ships have those pills" said Aisha. "a lot of Ctarl-Ctarls love to feel thier food struggling in their bellies. It gives us sexual pleasure..." At this, Aisha could've blushed but Jim couldn't tell because of all the fur on Aisha's face.

"Alright, I'll do it" said Jim. "I may not like it, but I have little choice"

By the time the pod was pulled inside a docking bay of the Ctarl-Ctarl ship, Jim was in the belly of Aisha. Again, Jim found himself in the stomach of the Cat-like race. Again, the stomach felt more like a womb than a stomach. Aisha's stomach was filled with acid, but it had no effect on Jim.
Aisha and Connie met the commander of the ship, a rather tall Ctarl-Ctarl named Gronza Wanwan. Gronza was friendly towards both Aisha and Connie. Aisha told Gronza that they had escaped from a ship that was attacked by a Terran ship. She also told Gronza that she had managed to capture and eat one of the Terrans that had foolishy come aboard thier ship. Aisha and Connie managed to escape in a pod, after rigging the Terran ship to explode. Aisha's ship was crippled beyond repair and most likely burning up in some planet's atmosphere somehwere.
"Sounds like you two have been through a lot" said Gronza. "where were you heading when you were attacked?"
Aisha thought for a minute before saying...
