--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vash woke up. The truck had stopped. Everybody were out and drinking.
"Now is my change to escape." Vash thought. He was just about to get the rope off but someone entered in. It was ugly fat guy who had a big gun in his shoulder. He was the same guy who had been in the same bar last night.
"What are you looking wimp?" He said.
"Nothing. I just thought when did my name were 'wimp'." Vash said, "So, what's your name, Mr. Nasty Criminal?"
"Shut up!" He said and throw a bottle at Vash.
Vash duck just in time, "Yes, Mr. Nasty Criminal."
It was quiet for a couple moments. Vash let a bored sigh out. Suddenly someone jumped in. It was Little D. Vash smiled ear to ear.
"Here, have some food." She said not-so-friendly and drop a plate where was some beansoup.
"How should I eat this?" Vash asked, "Maybe you should feed me?" He started sparkling.
"First I'm a killer, then I'm a cook, then Zack's toy and now a babysitter " LD took a deep breath and sat in front of Vash.
"And do you know what you can be now a hostage watcher. I'm going sleeping. Good night!" The fat guy said and went out asking anything from LD.
"Goddämmet!" LD yelled and hit her fist at the floor, "I'm not a slave I'm a human, you know. Last night, Red, Pete and Steve almost killed me. 'Cause they think I'm gonna escape with the money thank God you and your friend came help me thank you. "
"Your welcome." Vash said and was waiting his food mouth open, "You shouldn't be their slave."
LD feed Vash and started telling her mind out, "I had been in Zack's gang now about ten years. At first it was just two of us steeling what we need. Then we meet some guys and they joined us. One of the guys is that fat guy, Red. We started doing bigger gigs all the time. And suddenly we were killing people too, if there weren't any other escape now I'm just a slut to Zack why da hell I am telling you my problem?!"
"Because you have keep too long those emotions inside. You need to let them out before you explode" Vash told and ate the last beans, "Thank you, from the beans. I was hungry like the wolf."
LD sat quiet for a moment thinking something.
"Maybe it is your time to be on your own." Vash broke the silence.
"Maybe maybe not thanks for listening my worries, Val. You have been a good hostage I feel sorry that you are going to die soon."
"What?!" Vash yelled.
"The party end when you die. That's the ritual if we get a hostage." LD said and went out.
"Now is a good time for me escape." Vash thought and tried cut the rope off with one little peace of glass from the bottle what Red had throw at him.
LD jumped at the truck again. She had a big bag with her. She looked really mysterious and dangerous at the same time, "Val! This is your lucky night. We're getting out of this fucking place this minute!" She said and jumped in the driversplace and turned the engine on. "Hold on, Val!" LD yelled and drive in the dark desert.
The truck hit something or someone and Vash hit his head on the floor, "Hey, can you drive more careful?!"
"Complain later! We got company!" LD yelled.
Vash cut the ropes off and looked out, "They give up! They are too drunk to drive or even walk!"
"But they won't give up! I'm now on they killing list now and forever!" LD yelled and tried to avoid big holes and rocks, "Shit!"
Vash sat next to LD, "You're a bad driver!"
"This is my first time when I drive!" LD smiled.
Vash couldn't take his eyes off LD. LD looked at Vash, "Stop looking at me!"
"Yes, madam." Vash turned and saw a dead end, "LOOK OUT!" Vash yelled and closet his eyes.
LD turned the steeling wheel at right and pushed the brakes.
Vash screamed and cried like a baby, "We gonna die! I'm too young to die! I have to get more donuts!"
"We have to jump out!" LD said and took the bag and opened the door, "Shit! I hate my life!" And she was off.
Vash was petrified. He looked down the fast moving ground. "Mama Mia! That don't look healthy! But here goes nothing!" Vash jumped out off the truck just in time. The truck went down the in the canyon and Vash landed on the ground.
LD runned at him, "Are you okay?!" She asked.
"I love you too" Vash mumbled.
"You must have hit you head on that jump. You better get up hurry. I believe Zack's men are after us." LD helped Vash up.
And together they runned in the darkness without known where they were going.

Wolfwood drive in the desert and tried to see was his friend around somewhere. The suns were up in the blue sky and burned Wolfwood's back. He had borrow a jeep from town. He had heard that Vash had been take hostage.
"Will these unlucky situations ever end?" Wolfwood thought. Then he saw someone walking in the horizon. Someone tall. "Hah! I found him!" Wolfwood step the gas.
Wolfwood stop the jeep front of Vash, "Hello Vash! Was it a good party?" Then he saw Vash carrying a women, "Hey, it's that women who we saved at the other night! Was she one of the hostages too?"
"No even worse. One of the robbers." Vash said and lay LD in the backseat and her bag too, "Let's go back in town. She need doctor." Vash sat in the car, and Wolfwood turned the car back to town.
"What do you mean she's a robber? Why you took her with you?"
"They treat her like a slave so she runned away, and I had a change to escape. The other robbers chase us all night. And in the early morning they caught us and she got a shoot in her leg. It was miracle that we got escape. They went out of bullets and we still got some." Vash told.
"It's not a miracle to you that you survive." Wolfwood smiled.
"Whatever drive and be quit. She's asleep." Vash put his yellow glasses on and closet his eyes.

LD had been sleeping all day long. When she woke up and the surprise was huge.
LD opened her eyes and she saw a strange room, what she had seen never before. And then she saw Vash relaxing in his bed.
"Oh, hello LD. Finally you woke up. You must be hungry. Wolfwood will bring some food soon." Vash smiled friendly.
"W-who's Wolfwood? Where am I?" LD get up and sat in her bed confused.
"Wolfwood is my friend. Quite strange priest. Fine guy in the end." Vash told.
LD tried to stood up but it was really painful. Her left leg was useless.
"Hold your horses! You better stay in bed. Just relax, okay." Vash smiled and lay LD back to her bed.
"Why are you so nice to me? You hardly don't know me." LD asked.
"Women who's hurt need lots of love and care." Vash almost shined like another of the two suns in the blue cloudless sky.
LD looked Vash and turned her back.
"And one thing" Vash went bit nerves. And just when Vash was about to tell LD his real identity, Wolfwood kick the door open.
"Hello everyone!" He said happily, "Hey the little lady is awake. Good! Could you move my cross from the table, Vash?"
"S-sure." Vash said and moves the heavy cross.
"Ain't your name Val?" LD asked.
"Val? What are you talking about. He's Vash the Stampede." Wolfwood said and but the groceries in the table, "Did he told you?"
Vash drop the cross in his feet, "OUCH!" And cried in awful pain, "Why do you have to say my full name, Wolfwood?!"
"WHAT?" LD stood up, "Vash The Stampede?!" LD runned at Vash and looked Vash face to face. Vash tried to stop crying. "Is this stupid wimp really THE Vash the Stampede?! I can believe it! Wow!" She was totally exited.
She touched Vash, "Wow! I have touch Vash The Stampede! This is so cool!"
Vash was embarrassed and red. Wolfwood tried not to laugh. Vash put the cross away and went sitting front of the table and opened donut pack, "Oh this horrible pain. Why do you have to keep that terrible murder thing with you?" Vash asked from Wolfwood.
"Murder thing? It full of mercy" Wolfwood hit his fist in the table.
"Don't start that again" Vash request.
"You asked!" Wolfwood said.
The boys started fighting again. And LD look from the side. She stared Vash all the time.
"Wow! The Humanoid Typhoon The legendary outlaw Vash The Stampede is really in the same room with me." LD's eyes sparkled like the stars in the dark sky.
"Stop saying that, okay! I don't like hurting people! I want peace to this world! Nothing more!" Vash yelled.
"Peace to the world? What a hell are you? A lost hippie or something?!"
Vash started one of his stupid so important speeches, "I'm a fighter of love and peace! I will protect people who are in trouble! I will make this world a better place with my gun and my smart brains, and of course my good looks. The perfect hair, the lovely green eyes every women will be mine with a single smile." Vash started the idiot macho man thing, "I'm fast as the light, strong as a 100 bears, smart as Einstein and I can eat and drink as much I can without getting fatter! Love & Peace!" Vash shows the love&peace sign.
Wolfwood and LD laughed really hard and loud on the floor.
"They never told me that you were that funny! Hahaa!" LD giggled and hold her stomach, "You're killing me! Hehee! Love and peace? Hehee! "
"I'm not joking!" Vash yelled, "Don't laugh at me!" He turned really red. He sat down embarrassed and went behind a donut.
LD and Wolfwood stood up, and they were still laughing. Tears came out of their eyes.
"Don't shoot me, Mr. Outlaw." LD lift her hand up and laughed loudly, "Hahaa!"
"Okay, you two had your fun, just let me be." Vash mumbled.
"Hey.. Vash. You should be thankful that you didn't do that speech in the middle of the street!" Wolfwood laughed, "Everyone would have die in that."
They laughed so long that they couldn't laugh anymore and their stomachs' were in awful pain.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
