Hi ummmm... /cricket/ oh my...no ones there. Mabye I should have updated sooner.

Disclamer: Don't own trigun.

With Vash

"Knives!" Vash thought angerly as he continued to search the farily large town for his brother. He had been working with his brother for fourteen months. He had tried to go back to Meryl and Millie but, Knives perfered other wise, he had threated to kill them if Vash had stayed. After He could have sworn that he felt his brothers presence in this town, but mabye it was just the heat getting to him. His mind began to wander and as always its destanation was there short insrance girl that he fell for. And man, he didn't just fall, he landed face first."This town isn't too far from the town Meryl and Millie ar... oh no..."

A terrable thought hit him and a striken look crossed his face. Knives was going to go after the girls. And knowing the fact that his prence was in this direction for about five months now pretty much told Vash everything he needed to know.

With Meryl and Millie

"Meryl?"Millie looked through the small spaces between the bars and saw nothing but darkness,"Do you think we'll get out of here soon?"

But the only awnser that Millie recived was the silence that she had been trying to break for an hour now. Millie didn't like this silence. She didn't like it one bit. Meryl was never silent when things went wrong. Usally she was the one kicking and fight her way out of this mess. But... now she wasn't even moving.

"The girls will get us out soon, don't you think?" Millie tried again as she turn to her partner laying wide awake and the excuse of a mattress they had been given to sleep on.

With Ash, Nicky, Wolfwood

After eating they cleared the table and Nicky started on the dishes while Ash finshed puting away the food. Ash finshed first and sat down at the table across from Wolfwood. Then looked him in the eye and it felt as if her gaze was percing starit though his body to his soul.

"Wolfwood, eh? Strange name." Ash said as she nolifid her gaze upon him to just a simple stare.

"How do you know my name?" Wolfwood asked not recalling when he had told them his name, if he ever had.

"Well for starters you also have a cross punsher. Then same as Nicky's father... Then you look exactly like her minus the blackish eyes and clueless attatude." Ash said and then finshed with a smile,"You do relise who Meryl is right?"

Then she got up and told Nicky it was time.

"Punisher...Father...Time? Time for what?" Wolfwood asked as he followed them out the door.

"Time for work. Duh. It is 7:30 A.M." Ash stated as they mounted their thomases and then they both wave as Ash gave one last warning,"Don't mess up the house we just cleaned before you got it up."

At work

"Ashley don't over work yourself again you hear me? Ash's boss told her as he walked past her and into the office.

He was glad that she worked so hard but she is so young and often overworked herself ending up sick or hospitalized for a day or two.

Sometimes he wondered if she knew that she had limits...or that she could get hurt badly if she kept this up.

After the boss walked in she thought to herselfas she continued to work on her route."He really souldn't worry about me so much.I mean its not as if I don't appercate it but, I do needed to hurry." Then she closed her mind off and focased on her work.

Eight or Nine hours later at work

"Okay Ash its time for you to head home." The boss said as he came to check on his faithful employee, just to find her passed out on the ground.

"How could this happen James just came to check on her fifteen miutes ago and she was fine?" Boss though as he ran over to the phone and dialed Nicky's work number.

After calling Nicky he tryed to call the house but no one awnsered again. "Where is Meryl and Millie?"

With Nicky

"Hello, this is 900 MHz Corp.jfe How may we help you?" The sales clerk said as she politely awnsered the phone.

"Hello, this is Mr.Jaune, we have a situation again an/" But before Mr.Jaune could continue the sales clerk cut him off, "We'll send Nicky right away."

"Thank you." Mr.Jaune said as he hung up and then the sales clerk called Nicky to the frount desk.

"Yes, ma'am?" Nicky said as she walked up to the counter with worry in her eyes. She only got called to the frount desk if something terrible happened.

With Knives

"Where in the hell are they? Those girls where suposed to be home hours ago..." Knives thought as he sat in the dark Kichen waiting for the girls to walk in there home just to recive their due punshment. He glanced at the clock and noticed it was now 5:45 P.M.

Knives heard something from the hallway behind him and when he turned he saw a man standing behind him, his eyes wided in confustion and astonishment... then they filled with a firey anger. She had done it again. First Rem then Alex and then legato, but now she had broght him back.

With Wolfwood hours before

"Work? Those girls can't be old enough to have jobs." Wolfwood pondered as he begabn to wander around the house. He found what seemed to be the living room and sat down on the couch, he sunk into the couch and suddenly relised how tired he was.

He woke up a few hours later and desided that he would wander aroud the house. So he did, and when he did he took the house in with more detail and saw the pictures that contained Millie, Meryl and what looked to be Ash and Nicky when they were younger. Much younger. They bothe looked to be about five years old. He looked at the the date and he thought, "This has to be wrong this date says this picture was taken nine months ago."

Then he heard a noise from downstairs and he walked back into the dark kichen to find out what it was. What he saw not only shocked him, but scared the hell out of him, he would not allow it to show though. This man was pure evil.

This is where I take my leave...until next chappie... hope you enjoyed it.
