‘Rapid Departure’ By William R. Humble

When Suzy’s plan to square her and Norma’s debt to a gangster fails disastrously, it’s time to get off their craptastic planet. Problem is, they’re almost broke. Not only are tickets off-world expensive, the spaceport is one of the most heavily guarded facilities on the planet. Motivated by a burning desire to not be tortured or have their guts or faces replaced, the girls have to stay a step ahead of the gangster and his cronies, and hope they’re clever enough to beat the system.
