CHIBIS; CHAPTER THREE: FLASHBACK II

************************************************************************

Knives had shot the man, B.M, and was now waiting for his brother. He could hear the click of Kittie's shoes, joined by some others. There were also voices coming toward the room. The voices and the clicking of shoes stopped and Knives heard two people talking clearly. One of them was Vash. "Hold on a sec," Kittie was saying, "Let me get this file to him and see if he can take a visitor before lunch." The door opened, Kittie obviously wasn't paying any attention to B.M because she came in without looking at the desk. "B.M, I have that file that you needed and you have a vis-it-or....."

The file fell to the floor and Kittie turned to go back out the door, but Knives had been standing behind it. He grabbed her wrist and told her to bring Vash into the room. Kittie gulped, and stuck her head out the door. "B.M's ready to see you now." she said, he eyes sending a message to her friends that told them to leave town as fast as they could. "Bye Kittie, we'll meet you at the diner." a voice said. Kittie gave a half-hearted wave and a forced smile as Vash walked in.

Wolfwood walked into the room to find Knives and ask him when to leave. Knives looked from Kittie-Kat to Wolfwood, "Nicholas," he said, handing Kittie-Kat to Wolfwood, the tot instantly clutched onto his shirt, "I want you to take Kittie-Kat with you. My brother supposedly takes well to little kids, so I'm sure she'll win his heart." Wolfwood nodded, feeling the clutch of Kittie-Kat's little hands on his shirt sleeve. Kittie-Kat was only about two, and everyone that saw her would do anything for her. "Donut!" Kittie-Kat cooed "Hungy! Donut!" Knives chuckled {seems inevitable doesn't it folks, but he does}.
