AN: I own the side-plot, and thebluedahlia's permission to continue!

Starbuck woke, scared as a newborn. She starts to tear up, eyes becoming blurred.

"Where am I?" she asks to no one in particular.

"Hell." A voice responds. "Nah, I'm trying to lighten the mood." Hodgins appears.

"OMG Hodgins!" Starbuck runs to envelope him in a bear hug. He eagerly returns it, as he just as scared as her.

"Starbuck, calm down. We don't know where we are. Or who is watching us. We have to be careful." He says.

"Well I can't. I am scared shitless. I haven't been this clueless since my Mami died."

"Just think of what everyone else is trying to do to save us." Hodgins says, eyes tearing up from thinking of what Angela could be doing now. Little did he know.

-~-~-~-

"What can I do to save them?" Angela and Zach said together, only trying to save loved ones.

"Well, I got her cell phone number, which I already tried. No luck. It is either off or not fully charged."

"Same with Hodgins… I think I know who did this."

"I am actually really scared, which is irrational, but this is Starbuck we are talking about. My Starbuck…

"She's your Starbuck now?!" she screams, nearly shrieks. "Who are you and what have you done with my fiancé's best friend?"

"Whoa, calm down…

-~-~-~-

"Whoa, calm down Hodgins! Angela will always be yours, don't you know that?" Starbuck shrieks.

"Look who's talking, I could bet you that Zack really thinks that you're his. Look what shirt you are wearing."

"A Firefly shirt. So?"

"That is his favorite shirt. Everyone knows he never plans, well planned, to give it up."

"Whoa, PLANNED? I plan to give it back. And I plan to live. Do you?"

"I was kidnapped once. That was enough. I just don't care anymore."

"Then don't stay alive for Angela. Stay alive for Zach, Brennan, and Wendell…"

"How did you get to stay alive for Angela?"

"I know you wouldn't die because you just don't care. You would try to get out for Angela, because you love her."

"Your getting kind of deep. You love Zack, anyone could tell. The way you all googolly-eyed when you see him only proves it. The way you smile around him is different then when you aren't. Can you even imagine life without him?"

"Look who gotten deep. Especially when you won't see your lovers ever again." A voice said.

DUHHN DUHHN DUHNN!!!!! CLIFFY! I will return! Maybe one more chapter. Maybe two. But I have a question, should I make an alternate ending to "Sooner Surrender" over thebluedahlia's ending? Or should I go until a point? I need some feedback. And the way to get you to? FREE WEB COOKIES FOR ALL REVIEWERS!
