Chapter 4: Vash the Stampede!

Hope had been working for hours now and she had said many curses and many celebrations. A couple of times she got distracted and just watched Vash's face and each time emotions swelled up in her chest and she felt more in love. She felt like some kind of Peeping Lily when she stared but she didn't care she enjoyed it and it gave her the biggest high because when she got back to work she giggled to herself... Which was so not Hope... A couple of time she had to remind herself that she was a professional.

Vash dreamed a lot during this time and he dreamed a lot about Rem... about Knives... and sometimes he could see Hope in his dreams. One time she was sitting at a table like at the saloon and she was looking up at him and smiling... He suddenly saw Legato and he was attacking her but no matter how long he ran he never got any closer to Hope to help her. Sometimes his dreams would be full of blood sometimes they would be perfect with blue skies and have what Rem taught him in it. Sometimes he slightly woke up and heard the Mozart or Hope's giggles or laughs and that made him calm down the most and he would go back into the black dream world to start the cycle again.

Meryl woke up extra early and started her rounds to ask about Hope the doctor... She was in a worst mood then she was yesterday and she felt like punching someone.

Millie just was the same old Millie and she carried around a pudding bag looking friendly and cheerful as usual as they went to the saloon knowing that would be the best place to start and plus she wanted to get a drink before she had to start cleaning Hope's office.

Meryl slams through the doors having everyone stare at her for a minute but when Millie walks in they turn away and start back talking and they both sit down, the bartender walk over to them and stare at them with curious eyes. "What can I get you two beauties?"

Millie grins and she raises her hand anxiously, "Oooo can I get some milk and can you get me a bowl for my pudding! I'm hungry!"

Meryl's eye twitches as she watches the bartender get the things together and when he finally turned to look at her he took a step back and gulped. "What can I get you Ms. Meryl?" Meryl grins widely as she motions for him to come closer and when he does she whispers; "I need all the information you can give me on that doctor of yours."

The bartender gets even more nervous, "Well a lot of people have been asking about her recently."

Meryl raises a brow, as she stares at him with irritation, "Really like whom?"

The bartender thinks back, "A guy that talks about the end of pain.... Umm.... A really dumb fellow with a red trench coat.... And.... Lets see... a guy with REALLY red skin. He was a strange fellow." Then his face goes blank and he remembers something, "Oh yea and a man that claimed to be her husband... It made sense since they had the same last name."

Meryl's mouth dropped but she just shook her head as she blinks, "Well is there anything... I mean doesn't matter how stupid it is... Just tell me!"

The bartender thinks, "When she came she was very depressed like she went through a bad break up. I noticed that I mean it's not like all the guys tried to go out with her... She of course said no but they stopped after we noticed that she was very weird. They dug up the land behind her hospital and suddenly one night it was covered up again."

That made Meryl think of the underground operating room then she had to ask, "Does she have a extension room under ground just in case if the town gets destroyed or something?"

The bartender shakes his head as he laughs heartedly, "Not that I know of... DO you know she has? That would be mighty neat that sounds like something she would do. She is a very good person but not someone I would settle in with." He slowly moved closer to Meryl with glittering eyes. "Now you on the other hand."

Meryl blushes slightly but she moves back and looks around she didn't want to make a fool about him... Then she looks at Millie who was chowing down on her pudding and she chuckles she was already feeling better but before they knew it someone ran inside the bar screaming, "Vash the Stampede went through here!"

The bartender blinks as he looks at the man with curiosity, "You gotta be kidding... What did he look like?"

The man started to jump up as he tried to show that the man was tall, "His EXTREMLY tall with blonde hair and blue eyes.... He always wears a red trench coat."

The bartender laughs till tears comes to his eyes, "That can't be Vash the Stampede that kids an idiot."

Meryl blinks and she looked at him as if he was an idiot and he shut up because he put the pieces together and he started to shiver, "Is he some kind of psycho is he going to come back to come kill us because of what I did?"

Millie grins as she finishes up her pudding, "Vash is a good guy."

The bartender frowns, "We are talking about the humanoid typhoon now I'm not going to believe that one... That's just stupid.." Everyone was glaring at him in the bar as he slowly looked down at his feet. "Well we must find him... I saw him leave with Hope... I don't think he left down..."

The man's eyes widen and suddenly another guy with red skin slowly walked in he had heard the conversation from outside, "Then if this man is really dangerous then we must find him before he hurts Hope and before Talon comes."

The bartender nods his head, "That's the man who claimed to be her husband."

The man with the red skin snorts, "Her ex husband he just wished he was still married to her."

Meryl watched but she couldn't believe what was going on, "Vash is a good guy!"

The man that stood by the guy with red skin laughed, "Yea lady and pigs can fly."

They all got together and started to make plans on what they were going to do when they found Vash the Stampede... They were going to get that money and help the red skin person get to Hope so she can know her daughter Mercy was in the hospital. The red skin man turned out to be a man named Janeba the other man turned out to be Chris. They planned and it made Meryl run back to the hospital while the others weren't watching and they started again to get back into the hospital like they did the night before.

That's the end of that chapter... WOW two chapters in one day and I feel really good about these... REVIEW REVIEW...
