Man! This took so long! Between school and homework and never being able to get on to the computer because it was too late, I never got to do anything! Sorry.
More Appreciation
Yay! Thank you to all who reviewed my last chapter. Shari Hirtle for making me think. Kyra thanks, for your memory. (I feel like The Giver. Has anyone read that book?) I had a bunny with long spirally ears named Bunnya. I already have a plan for Attack of the Stuffed Panthers, if it's good enough I think I will post it, once I get it outlined and written. Just thinking about in makes me laugh J. Suki still loves my story! Yay! Thank you all.
Hey, guess what? I wrote a songfic called Once You Had Gold someone please go and read it. I had been dying to write a songfic forever, and I finally did. Umm, I don't think much of it; just want some reviews for what people think. More song than fic, but if you're bored then go read it.
Okay, last chapter… short preview, sorry. Umm, I ended it awkwardly. So right into things this time. This is the end of the Middleman chapters, I think.
Middleman pt. 3
'I swear I'm gonna take this guy out right after I get Ger!' Faye was pissed that she had to take orders from Pizzarro. She thought that as she walked slowly behind the group of hostages. Pizzarro had allowed them to be un-gagged so that it would be easier, but he wouldn't allow them to be untied.
As they walked down the stairs the little girl tripped and fell. She started to cry. The woman who was her mother started to turn back to comfort her when Pizzarro's voice came harshly over the P.A. "Don't stop walking." She stopped and turned leaving her daughter on the floor, she kept turning around anxiously to see her. The other hostages stopped and waited anxiously wondering what was going to happen to them. The little girl continued to cry. 'Bastard' Faye thought as she knelt down next to the little girl.
"Are you ok?" Faye asked the little girl and touched her shoulder. Pizzarro came over the P.A. and told the other hostages to stop.
She nodded, and when she looked at Faye she flinched away, "Are you going to hurt us too?" she asked.
"No." Faye said softy, "Are you okay?" she repeated, and looked at her knee.
The little girl looked at her knee, which was turning red, "Will you kiss it?" she asked tearfully looking up at Faye. Faye nodded gently, and softly kissed her knee. Faye looked at her, and she looked at Faye and smiled, "Yes." 'Kids…. jeeze, at leased their easily appeased.' She sighed, and stood up and took the little girls hand, "Come on." She looked at the rest of the women and saw that they were afraid, she tried to look reassuring as she motioned for the to continue.
Outside: Lets just as no one had expected that act of kindness to come from the Untouchable Shrew Woman.
Spike was very surprised and watched intently as Faye and the little girl made their way behind the group to the exit. 'Never expected that.'
Jet was thinking along the same lines. The little girl looked up at Faye and started talking to her, and Faye looked down art her and smiled as she awnsered. Spike wanted to know what they were talking about, 'what could Faye possibly have to say to a five-year-old?'
"My name is Emily and I just turned five." The little girl said brightly. Holding up one hand to elaborate, "What's your name?"
"My name is Faye." She said smiling down at Emily, " and I am twenty-three." She said, half hoping that the kid would shut up. She was cute, but Faye need to think and she really didn't have time to make small talk with a five-year-old.
Emily's eyes widened as she looked up at Faye, "Do you know how many fingers that is?" she looked at her one hand. "That's…" she trailed of as she was thinking.
At this point they reached the front door. The sliding glass doors opened and Faye said, "You can go now." She let go of Emily's hand.
They almost ran out of the building, Emily said, "Bye!" before running after her mother who looked pale and worried.
They saw Faye and the group of women come up to the front doors. Faye let go of the little girl's hand; she said something and the group made their way out of the building. Faye stood just inside the door as the little girl turned and said something to Faye and then ran forward to her mother. Spike arm itched to reach out and pull her away, just so she wouldn't be in there anymore. He wanted her out of the building. But instead of coming out she turned away and for just a second their eyes met. She turned and made her way back up to the tenth floor.
He watched her as she made her way through the halls. Her face was dead set. When he had met her eyes they had been cold, and angry. 'She can't seriously be really doing this, she wouldn't.' He hoped.
"I want my panther." Faye stated coldly. She held out one hand.
"Demanding aren't we." Pizzarro said sitting in his chair.
"I held up my end of the bargain, now it's your turn."
"Fine." He picked Ger up off the desk and handed it to her. She sat down in the chair that she had occupied previously; "Now down to business…" he said standing up.
'Ok, plan: step one, get Ger, step two, take out Pizzarro, step three, get bounty. No too complicated right? God, I hope so.' She mentally steeled her self and thought, 'Here goes,' as her body tensed in preparation to attack.
NFA: Ok it's not the end I guess. I just don't have the time to finish it all now. The next part will be the conclusion to this and the start up for what I'm going to focus on for the next few chapters. Sorry to leave you hanging again. See you next time I get some time to finish the next chapter.
Also thanks to Hurly foxx@aol.com who reviewed while I was away. Thank you much. Please review.
Next time on
Life in General, After the Fall:
"No one touches my stuffed animal and gets away with it."
(Yes I know, same as last time. Well it was supposed to happen this time, but it didn't so… next time. )
Have a nice day.
