Sorry about taking so long to update guys. Though nobody's R & R'ed, save for Kitana. I just haven't really been up to date for awhile. I will ask to please Review, if you do get to this story.
Chapter 10 - Section I - Red Desert Meeting.
Jaqueline's smirk faded as she landed onto the outskirts of a Mars town, the sand as red as blood, if not darker. She sighed and yawned, wiping her forehead off with her jacket sleeve. Her lips then drew to a smile as those eyes of hers spotted a silhouette of her contact, coming towards her. Opening the hatch of the Red Tail, she hopped out and landed with a poof of dust and sand. Coughing as she wavered a gloved hand in front of her, the man came closer. "Jaqueline," his raspy, deep voice rung out, "welcome back." Jaqueline smiled and stuck out her tongue. "You act as if I wasn't going to be coming back, Ro'Cherre." The man laughed a bit and lifted his beautiful young head to gaze at her, golden eyes glowing off the red sand. He shook his head, long silver locks of hair swaying from side to side with him. "You're lucky your bounty hunter had a good heart. Anybody else would've let you be killed by those monsters." His gloved hand stroked at his chin. Jaqueline laughed and shrugged, her rosy lips parting to take a breath. "We had better get going. I'm sure the leaders have been concerned about me." And with that, they took a walk together, arm to arm.
Chapter 10 - Section II - Realization.
Larry woke up with a long, pleased yawn. As his vision came into focus, he saw Faye standing over him, her gaze serious. Larry let out a whimper and clinged to his pillow, eyes wide. "You been standing there watching me sleep?" He spoke out in a scared voice. Faye growled at him and picked him up by his shirt, pulling his face close to hers. "How dare you let her steal MY transport! My Red Tail.." She yelled at him, her face turning abit red out of frustration. Larry took a gulp and sighed, relaxed now. "Oh, I see what this is about. Who stole it. Who's 'her'?" His eyes wandered about the room. "Jaqueline, you idiot! The same girl you rescued!" He jolted abit, almost expecting to be hit, but to no avail. His past memory of the night before flashed through his mind, and his eyes widened. "That...Bitch." He shook his head, pressing a few fingers against his lips. Faye took one look at his expression and grew as red as ever. "SHE KISSED YOU!?" She yelled out at him, continuing, "AND YOU LET HER!?" She gritted her teeth for a moment there, but sighed and went limp, walking to her room. "Faye..wait?" He reached out to her and stood up. Faye ignored him and shut the door behind her, and a loud thump of her body hitting the bed sounded out. Larry shook his head and went to the quarters door, opening it and walking outside. With a sigh, he lit up a smoke, taking a very, very long drag from it. He hustled down the halls, heading towards the Control Room, with one thing in mind. As he opened up the door, he got a few salutes from soldiers, and he had to salute his superiors, as well. Walking up to John, he shook his head at him. "I need the coordinates for where Faye's Red Tail ran off to, John. Mind helping?" He asked, taking another puff of the cigarrette. John quirked a brow at him. "Sure...What's the catch?" Larry furrowed his brows. "No catch, I just need to get it back for Faye." John gave him one of those 'ah' looks, and quickly brought up the course destination. "Looks like it headed to Mars," He looked closer, pointing out the town. But Larry didn't even want to know where it was, he just wanted the coordinates input in the next available dropship. John read that look he had and nodded, "Allright. I've input the town's coordinates in Dropship Alpha. I'll go ahead and tell the pilots to get ready." Larry nodded and checked those pistols he always had on him, before heading out of the control room, and into the docking bay. "Next stop, Mars." One of the pilots said as he slipped into the ship. And with that, the dropship latched off the bay, and headed straight for the red planet.
