Mistake

Mistake  (300)

Ryder slammed the prisoner's face into the red dirt and pressed his blaster into the back of his head.
"I treated you nice, just like they instructed," he said. "I won't make that mistake again."

Ryder dragged him through the dust and threw him at the landing gear of his cruiser. 

"No , bounty hunter, you just made your last mistake." sneered the prisoner, smiling a blood streaked smile. 

"Why are you still asking for it?"  Ryder back-handed him again for good measure and spite -- mostly for spite -- then turned to scan the alien landscape for signs of his clients.
Soon, four hovercraft approached from the south and stopped at the rendezvous point.  When the dust settled, eight Priests of Alnoar, completely covered in black robes, emerged and approached the prisoner.

"Hold it right there," Ryder said brandishing the blaster.  "How about 1000 titanium credits?"

From the folds of the tallest priest's robes a tentacle undulated and curled outward carrying a small sack.  The sack fell at Ryder's feet with a clatter of precious metal
.
"That's more like it", Ryder said.  "He's all yours."

The first priest reached the prisoner and turned him gently with a tentacle.  At the sight of the prisoners bleeding face the priest screeched.  Instantly, the other priests screeched in unison.  They examined the prisoner in a writhing mass.

The head priest screeched at Ryder and vigorously shook the wanted bulletin at him.

"Yeah, it says unharmed.  I didn't harm him...much." Ryder said coolly as he slid his hand to his blaster.

The Priest issued a single guttural command and his followers dropped the prisoner and engulfed the bounty hunter.
As they dragged Ryder away, the prisoner yelled after him, "It doesn't say 'unharmed', Dumb Ass.  It says 'undamaged'.  The Alnoar won't eat bruised meat"
