Authors Note: Aww! You all are so nice :) Really, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the kind reviews and love and support you all are showing to my character Elsie and this story.. Which, to tell you the truth, I'm writing as I go. I've got certain things planned out, sure! But most of the time I'm just pulling out my ass.

But because of you all, and a lot of my favorite songs, I've been able to keep at this and have fun! Also! According to a comment I got... My Spanish is off... Oops! I'm trying, really! I'm going off what I can remember and my old High School notes and books! I'll have to go back and fix it later, I suppose. For now... Please bear with me! Thank-you!

"I was caught! In the middle of a railroad track (Thunder!). I looked 'round, and I knew there was no turning back (Thunder!). My mind raced, and I thought what could I do? (Thunder!). And I knew! There was no help, no help from you (Thunder!)!"

Elsie winced as her sensitive ears were assaulted with the sound of AC/DC echoing from a speaker, as she was lead into the garage by her Scottish accent friend, who introduced himself professionally as Chibs Telford. Her nose wrinkled, as the smell of oils and gas overpowered her sense of smell, giving her a headache as Chibs had her stand against what he told her was the doorway, as she heard him stomp forward, before his steps were covered by the blaring radio.

Shifting back and forth, Elsie messed with the bottom of the large shirt she was in. She was uncomfortable. Not because she was practically standing half dressed and naked in front of a garage doorway were she could feel eyes on her, but because she didn't know what to make of waking up in a strange bed without her pants and in a shirt that was to large to be hers and wondering where her shoes and clothes were at... And who had undressed her? Not that it was that big of a deal to her. Elsie couldn't see, so she had nothing to be embarrassed about... At least as far as she knew.

Being blind... Elsie had no clue how she looked. She could only recall what she looked like when she was younger, back before the accent that left her blind. She could recall toe-white blonde hair, but that was it. She didn't feel fat. She liked to go to a gym near her grandmas work and run on the treadmills with help from the gym owner, an older male named Mr. Dawson. And she was always getting exercise working around Señor Pietro's shop, and its not like she ate a lot... Unless it was something like ice-cream, chocolate, or tuna sandwiches.

She wasn't that tall. Señor Pietro always liked to pick on her for her height. She had asked her grandma to measure her once. She'd told her 5'5". She didn't know how tall that was, but it couldn't be that short, right? Elsie crossed her arms across her chest and leaned against the doorway, sighing. It was thoughts like this that had her wishing for her sight back. Just to know what she and others really looked like and what it was like to read letters instead of touching braille

"Oi! Lass! Got a friend who missed ya!" Elsie's pushed off the doorway and a smile split across her face, as she heard an all to familiar bark over the Nazareth song now blaring from throughout the garage, as she got down to a squat and held out her arms. She let out an 'oomph' as she was plowed to the ground by something heavy and furry! "Ojo!"

Ojo barked happily, as he began to lick and nuzzle at her face, as Elsie found his head and pulled it into a hug, as she pat his side and nuzzled into his fur. A breeze could be felt on her now fully exposed legs, as she got on her knees and held Ojo's face between her hands and allowed the dog to lick her nose as she smiled and wiped away the tears that she felt falling from her eyes.

"One helluva a mutt, ya got there, lass! Gave Happy and Tig a show! Had to muzzle the fellow all night before he allowed any of us near him!" She heard Chibs laugh above them, as she rubbed Ojo's head and pushed herself up. "He didn't bite you, did he?" Elsie really didn't care if Tig, her new "buddy", had been bitten, but Chibs was a nice guy, and she felt bad about having attacked him.

"Nah! He didn't get me, but Hap got a good mark on his leg!" Elsie gaped, as she placed her hand on Ojo's head. "Dog would have died right then and there if Jackie-boy hadn't intervened." Elsie felt her stomach flopped as she gasped and pulled Ojo's head againist her leg, the dog panting happily at his masters attention.

"He was going to kill my dog! " Her voice was a growl like that of an angry mother. Ojo was as precious to her as her Grandma and Señor Pietro. "What did they do to him last night? I mean I really don't think muzzling him would get him to stop, so there had to have been more than that, right?" Chibs made a sound like he was about to explain, when Elsie jumped as a familiar, raspy and graveled, voice cut him off. "Tranquilizer."

Elsie felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up as she inwardly shivered. It was the man from last night! The one who had been about to shoot her til she'd been rescued. She didn't like this one. His voice was creepy and the vibe she got off of him made her skin crawl in fear. She wasn't sure what kind of vibe it was, but she really didn't like it.

"So you tranquilize my dog and almost put a bullet in my head... Wow... You boys aren't very good at thuggery, are you?" Elsie glared in Chibs direction before directing it at the man named Happy. That made her mad. These men could have been more prepared. They had attacked her boss and had almost taken her life and Ojo's. She didn't know much about thugs, but she knew that what had happened last night was a piss poor job on their part. And that's what these men were. They were thugs.

"Ai... You caught everyone off guard last night, lass, showing up like you did." Elsie huffed, as she ran her hand through her hair, glaring in Happy's direction. The man hadn't said anything else since he'd made his presence known. "Is your leg OK?" Elsie felt inclined to ask. Sure this man had almost put a bullet in her and her friend's head, but he had watched Ojo. And by the vibe she was getting from him, she supposed that he was good at handling anything that gave him trouble.

He didn't say anything, but she heard his left leg shuffle, telling her that it must hurt. But she supposed a hard-ass like this man wasn't going to say anything. Rolling her eyes, Elsie pat Ojo on the head. "Stay," she ordered the dog, before stepping past Chibs and up to the man. She felt his eyes on her as she pointed down to his left leg, before she made a gesture of asking if she could see it.

Course she couldn't really see it, but she would like to feel how hard Ojo had bitten him. When she felt the man make no move to show his leg or answer her, she glared at him. She felt him glare back at her. Why was he being a jerk? She just wanted to feel that Ojo hadn't hurt him too much. What was his deal.

"Lass... " Chib sounded nervous. Why? What was the big deal with these guys? She just wanted to make up for causing them trouble. Was that so much to ask? Sighing, Elsie turned on her heal and over to Chibs and Ojo. "I'd like to get my clothes back, please." She acted like nothing had happened, and she felt Happy's eyes on her back. Who cared. If he was going to play the silent bad-ass with an injury then she wasn't going to have anything to do with him. She hated people like that. They were obnoxious in her book.

She felt Chib's hand land on her shoulder, as she pat Ojo's head and had the dog follow them. "Might be best if ya don't mess with Happy, lass. He's in a mood over getting caught off guard by you and that dog of yours." Chibs mumbled, as the smell of the bar reached her senses.

"I wasn't trying to catch anyone off guard last night, Chibs. I was just coming back to get my guitar I'd left behind... This," she made a gesture to the bar they were now standing in. "Was not on my planning list." She was tired. These men were giving her a headache.

All the worry and fight from earlier had her feeling wasted and in the need of a shower and long nap. "I just wanna go home," she finally sighed, rubbing Ojo's head. "This has just been a shitty event that I want to put behind me. God! My Grandma Rosie has got to be shitting bricks. She's going to be pissed when we get home."

She felt Chibs give a sympathetic squeeze to her shoulder. He was a nice guy. "By the way... I'm sorry about attacking you..." She trailed off as Chibs chuckled. "It's alright, lass! Waking up in some strange place half dressed would have me a wee freaked as well." Elsie smiled and gave a soft sigh.

"Yeah.. About the half naked thing... Whats up with that?" She heard Chibs let out a barked laugh, as she crossed her arms across her chest. "You were covered in dog hair and ya vomited all over yerself while you was sleepin." Elsie furrowed her brows in disgust and disbelief. "That's... Disgusting."

Chibs grunted a confirm. "Ai. Jackie boy had you changed out of yer clothes so ya wouldn't have to sleep like that." Elsie gave a slight nod, before she cocked her head to the side. "Chibs... Who undressed me?"

Chibs gave a nervous cough, as his feet shuffled slightly. "Was it you?" She heard the Scotsman give a dry laugh. "Afraid not lass, but that is my shirt yer wearing." Elsie pulled at the large shirt and wrinkled her nose. "Then who undressed me?"

"For a blind chick you got one hell of a body, bitch!" Elsie felt her stomach churn as a furious scowl came across her face. "Oh gross! You let that freak see me in my undergarments?" She screeched, as Tig came sauntering towards them with a cocky sway in his step.

"Ew! That is so wrong." Chibs sighed as Tigs let out an evil cackle, causing Ojo to bark and growl at the man. Elsie placed her hands on her hips and scowled. She so needed a shower now after that little revelation. "Ugh!"

Heh! Yes... Tig, that psycho perv, took the liberty of getting to "help" the dirty, unconscious, blind girl out of her clothes like the gentleman we all know he isn't! XD

So! There's an update for you all. Hope you like, and Ill hopefully update sooner and next chapter should have more Elsie and Happy interaction, since Chibs got his turn in :)

R&R Plz!
