For some reason, as Rafe trotted across the top part of the tunnel's arch, a song he'd heard on Earth came to mind, Lionel Richie's "Dancing on the Ceiling." Now, he should note, he didn't dance on the ceiling - he ran - but still, if he were a man to sing, he might have burst into song - mostly to throw off his attackers.
Some might wonder how Rafe achieved such a feat. To that he replied, accessorizing.
There were certain things a pirate invested in. He invested in a good intelligence network. He procured a good ship, AKA stolen, and kept it in tiptop shape. A privateer also made sure he possessed the best communication technology that he could embed in his body. But all those things were useless if a man, wanted in several galaxies, with a bounty on his head, couldn't get out of sticky situations. Such as now.
