Zess missing?

Planet: Tatooine

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

Just about every resident of the Outer Rim’s seedier regions is familiar with Zess. This mohawk-wearing, foul-mouthed spicehead has clashed with law enforcement agencies, criminals and good fashion taste all over the galaxy. However, no matter what trouble he got in, what beating he took, he always bounced back, as angry as before, and often getting even with whoever took him down before.

Not this time though. No one has seen Zess for says by now. No reports of a mugging, no loud screaming at troopers or security, no demands for spice. The last that was heard of Zess was some quarrell on Lok a few days ago. Since then – nothing.

Even close friends of Zess – Borombo and Cpike, to name them – do not seem to know what happened to the thug. So, people are asking themselves: What happened to Zess? Was he killed? Deported? Eaten by a Kimogila? Captured for experiments of an unspeakable nature? Overdosed on spice? Saw the light and changed his ways?

Time will tell. Or not.
