Gaz chuckled. "That is one fine song, kid! I like it, I'll have to remember that one."
She watched the handful of people going out to help. After raising an eyebrow she said, "If it ain't my problem, I'm not involved."
Fletcher raised his glass. "A true pirate philosophy," he replied.
Gaz brought up a star chart on her computer and put it on the counter between her and Fletcher.
"So, Fletch," she says, "ever been out in this sector before?"
Fletcher shakes his head. "Can't say as I have. Morgan tended to stay around his usual haunts."
At that moment, an alert popped up on Gaz's computer. She looked at it, then at Fletcher.
"Well, it's probably a good thing Morgan dumped you when he did," Gaz said.
"Why's that?" Fletcher asked as he leaned over to look at the read out.
"Morgan and his skeleton crew were just picked up by the authorities," Gaz finished.
Fletcher was quiet a moment. "Well, the guy was a barnacle on my side, but I hate to hear about any pirates gettin' picked up that way."
Gaz removed her hat, picked up her glass and raised it. Sensing something coming, Fletcher picked up his as well.
"To Morgan," Gaz said, "the authorities haven't been able to keep him locked up yet. I'm sure the galaxy hasn't seen the last of him."
Fletcher nodded and gave his glass another respectful raise.
"Here's to ya, Morgan," Fletcher said.
Both he and Gaz took a swig of rum and were silent a moment.
