A Place Where I Could Be

[Tomorrow'sDreams]

*Tomorrow, Holly and Jessie watch Shark eagerly, excited to have some new toys to play with. Jessie holds the kaleidoscope carefully in her left hand.*

[sharkbait]

*I hold out a toy fire truck* This little beauty is what we old folks would call a Fire truck. back before you were born these things used to go around and put out fires. *I give the firetruck to tomorrow and then pull out a rag doll* This used to be my dollie when i was a little girl her name is annie *I give annie to holly* you kids play nice Im going to go check on my good pal scarlett and be right back now. *I walk outside to scarlett* you see them right? is roscoe there?

did you think that traitor would be there? *I sigh* this may get messy do you really want the kids around?

I'll protect the kids... You make sure that the bitzers dont get in here. *I walk back inside.*

[Tomorrow'sDreams]

*Tomorrow sits and watches Holly and Jessie playing. She stares down at the firetruck, turning it over and over in her hands. Then she puts it down, gets up, and goes outside.*

[sharkbait]

*I notice one of the kids come outside and sigh* What are you doing out here tommy? Its not safe. *I holster my rifle quick and kneel next to her* are sharkies toys no fun? *I keep checking the dust cloud thats getting closer in the corner of my vision*

[Tomorrow'sDreams]

*Tomorrow nods.* They look fun. *She glances at Sharkie.* Why she have hook?

[sharkbait]

well when we had the ship we also had a crew... not everyone on the crew was happy with Captain... they.... *I stop to try to find a better word for mutiny* they turned against us. When that happened Sharkie took the most of their violence. she lost her eye and her hand to a man named Roscoe. me... *I roll my sleeve up a bit to show her one of my scars* I just got a few bullets in me but we got those out. Not all pirates are good people... Not like Sharkie and I. * I start to hear motor engines* Tommy... *I start to tell her to get inside but the bikes are already too close* Shit..

[Tomorrow'sDreams]

*Tomorrow moves closer to Scarlett.* Who they?

[sharkbait]

You know the bad pirates... thats them. Stay behind me ok Tommy... If you can get inside do it but dont take any unnecessary risks. Im going to try to do this civilly. *I draw my pistol as they pull up to me* So tell me which one of you did Roscoe leave in charge.

*A large heavily tattooed man gets off one of the bikes* I didnt leave anyone in charge... Wheres the map scarlett we know that the good Captain has it *he snears at the word captain like it leaves a bad taste in his mouth*

We Ain't got no darn map Roscoe I keep telling you we lost it with the ship! go away we got children around they arent a part of this! *I glance back at tomorrow*

[Tomorrow'sDreams]

*Tomorrow looks at the man standing front of Sharkie and Scarlett.* He look like Daddy, *she whispered.*

*PLasma was talking with pony, CG and scream in the kitchen, she looked around for the girls and relaxed when she saw them playing with sharkie, she saw jessie get out of the booth and start to leave but then sharkie picked her up, she smiled and turned back around to their conversation, she was sipping from her coffe when she got a transmition from Dr.D*

*PLasma spit out her coffe when Dr.d said tomorrow was outside, she quickly turned around and saw scarlett outside and some guys pulled up infront of the dinner she then saw tomorrow hiding behind scarlett her eyes went wide, she quickly ran out of the kitchen looking for the other two girls sharkie was keeping them ocupied, scream ran up to her* SHarkie whats going on, who are those guys?

[plasmacreature]

*PLasma didnt give sharkie time to answer she cut her off and ran back into the kitchen* Listen up babes tomorrow and scarlett are in trouble pony you know the deal, stay with sharkie and the girls CG scream lets kick some ass *CG and Scream nodded they pulled their mask's down and took their guns out, plasma did the same, the three girls quickly ran outside and stood next to scarlett plasma quickly went up to tomorrow* morrow you okay babes? come on lets get you inside were gonna deal with the bad guys ottay? you stay inside with sharkie and dont leave the dinner! *PLasma quickly picked up morrow* SCrema CG cover me and help out scar *PLAsma quickly turned around and put tomorrow back inside the dinner next to jessie and holly* Stay here! sharkie you got em right? pony dont leave them!! *PLasma ran out the door standing next to scarlett facing the rough looking duded that started to get out of the car* WHo the fuck are ou jokes? what do ya want?

[sharkbait]

You should have kept the child outside... I dont like getting rough infront of children *roscoe laughs at the small girl infront of him* The good Captain didnt tell you who I am yet? Well You know how shes got an eyepatch and a hook for a hand now? well that would be my doing. I raised a mutiny on her ship because we were sick of smuggling people and wanted real money for once. Money and treasures she is hiding from us! GIVE US THE MAP SCARLETT! *he gets in scarletts face bending down his nose now touching hers trying to intimidate her*

Ever heard of a breath mint roscoe? Probably not. but ive already told you we dont got no stinkin map! *I try not to let my fear show* get the hell out of here!

Im glad you got that kid inside now scarlett Ive always wanted to do this *roscoe pulls out a knife and stabs scarlett in the stomach* We will leave now. tell the sweet captain if she wants to save the first mate she needs to give us the map... or the poison will kill her. *he grins widely as he gets back on his bike and drives away*

*the taste of blood and bile reaches my. mouth I try to speak but blood just spills out of my mouth* wha.... *my vision blurs* I.... we... what map? *I reach out to roscoe trying to understand how this man that I once called my kin could do this to me his body gets further away or maybe my vision is just getting darker* Why ros? *I feel my consciousness slowly slip away*
