Flashback
A month ago things had changed for the worst for the Bohemians. It had been almost 5 months since their debut at Wembley and while life wasn't perfect there was still hope. Killer Queen was weak and Globalsoft was slowly deteriorating. GaGa's were beginning to show individuality and the song cleverly named "We Will Rock You" was being played everywhere. The bohemians weren't far away from living a 'normal' life, free to do whatever they want where ever they want but then Galileo's worst fear happened.
"Can I tell you something?" Scaramouche asked a cleaned up and sober Galileo as they walked hand in hand through the wasteland with a hint of shyness in her voice.
"Of course, you know you can tell me anything." Galileo answered brightly, giving her hand a squeeze of encouragement when she remained silent.
"I've really come to look forward to these walks." She admitted, her walls going up when he didn't reply right away. Not giving him the chance to speak she tried to make her statement negative. "I mean, you know, it gets suffocating being around the group 24/7."
Galileo looked at her and stopped walking. Feeling her arm being yanked back at his sudden stop Scaramouche stopped walking but didn't turn around. "I love being able to spend time completely alone with you too Scaramouche."
"That's not…" Scaramouche turned around and began to deny what Galileo had correctly assumed she meant but instead rolled her eyes at herself as he pulled her to him.
"I love you." Galileo whispered before kissing her soundly on her lips.
"I love you too." Scaramouche sighed, pulling away only to have him pull her back into a deeper kiss. Needing air she again pulled away, resting her head on his chest. "Well, well, look who's shown some PDA."
"Proud?" Galileo laughed with his arms around her waist.
"Well maybe if there was actually someone here to see it." Scaramouche teased as she pulled out of the embrace and began to walk again, holding his hand in hers. "Baby steps I suppose."
"You loved it." Galileo said smugly, removing his hand from hers and putting his arm around her shoulders.
"Hey, you didn't hear me complaining." She shot back, pinching his side, eliciting a yelp of surprise from him before slipping her hand into his far back pocket.
"Stop! You are both under arrest for multiple charges and are surrounded." The booming voice of a SecretPolice commanded them as ten more emerged from the darkness to prove they were in fact surrounded.
"Wow. Two of us, what? Thirteen of you? Makes you feel kind of pathetic doesn't it?" Scaramouche remarked, hiding any fear behind her sarcasm while gripping into Galileo's side.
"Shut up! You shall speak when spoken to." The same SP yelled, causing Galileo to flinch and take Scaramouche's hand into his.
"I shall do whatever I want, and technically I was spoken to, so there goes that rule." Scaramouche smirked.
"Scaramouche." Galileo warned while increasing his grip around her hand.
"Listen to your little boyfriend girl!"
"Or what? You'll arrest me?" No sooner had she finished her question had Galileo noticed one of the SP's raise his gun, aimed at Scaramouche. Thinking quickly he pushed her to the side and took the hit of the green laser right to his chest.
"Figgy!" Scaramouche cried out in agony and quickly scrambled to his body which now lay unmoving on the ground. Quickly checking for his pulse she shakily placed her fingers to his throat. Finding a weak but steady throb she knew if they thought he was dead they would leave him and save themselves from having to carry his body.
"Get her!" The main SP yelled out.
"You killed him!" Scaramouche looked up at the advancing SP's, tears streaming down her face. "Galileo!"
"Let's go!" One of the SP's commanded and aimed his gun at her.
"I love you." Scaramouche whispered brokenly into Galileo's ear, placing a last kiss to his lips before one the SP's grabbed her by the arm, wrenching her from Galileo's 'lifeless' body. "Let me go!"
"You ours now little girl. Not so tough when your boyfriend's lying dead on the ground." The SP laughed, gripping her arm tightly as she fought against him. Another SP grabbed a hold of her other arm and she could do nothing but walk fast to keep up the pace and not be dragged to the vehicle. And cry. But not cry for Galileo's death like the SP's thought, but cry at the thought of never seeing him again.
End Flashback
Galileo had woken up a week following the battle and would have assumed it a dream if it wasn't for the makeshift hospital bed he found himself in, with Scaramouche no where to be found.
In a desperate attempt to prove himself worthy it was Commander Khashoggi who had brought Galileo back to the Hotel California and it was Khashoggi who was able to answer the Bohemians many questions. He told them that no one had ever lived through being shot with a laser beam, which was why Galileo was left for dead after the fight. Luckily Khashoggi had witnessed the whole thing and made to Galileo's side as soon as the SecretPolice had left. Finding a pulse, and with all his strength, he carried the boy carefully in his arms while minding the wound left by the laser, all the way to the Hotel California. Which luckily wasn't too far away. Being in the Seven Seas of Rhye he had heard rumours of the new Bohemian base camp and had found the place a week before, but knowing who he had been and what he had done to the Bohemians as Commander he knew it was best to wait for the right moment before entering the new grounds. This was his moment.
