CHAPTER 6: GIRL PROBLEMS
Angel looked up at Vash, he suddenly felt very stupid. As he was about to get up, she started to cry," I love you too, Vash. I don't give a damn what my instincts tell me, I haven't loved in so long."
Relieved, Vash held her," It's allright to care Angel. It's allright to love, trust, and depend on someone."
"Where have you been all my life?" she asked him.
TRIGUN
Autumn grabbed Wolfwood's neck and stared into his eyes," I love you too, Nick," she pulled him into another kiss.
TRIGUN
Angel got up and met Wolfwood in the hallway, the children had followed them," Let's pack our things, if we hurry I can get us on a sandsteamer," Autumn said.
"Really?" Angel asked.
"Only if we hurry."
2 WEEKS LATER
Autumn's sandsteamer friend got them all the way to Augusta,"Thanks!" she called.
"Now," said Angel," let's stock up on food and get a house for the kids."
"How? We have no money," Wolfwood reminded her.
"Autumn's not the with connnections. Come on," she walked to the nearest porch and sat down," I gotta hide some of these guns," she began pushing some down in their holsters. Suddenly Vash and Wolfwood gasped, and hid their faces," What's wrong, guys?"
"There they are Mr. Vash! Mr. Wolfwood!" a shrill voice called, the gunslingers shuddered.
"Who are THEY?" Autumn asked them.
"Hi! So here's where you've been hiding! We looked everywhere for you two!" the girl with black hair shook a finger at them.
"Yeah! We were pretty banged up, luckily we were in good hands," Wolfwood put an arm around Autumn," they got us back to perfect condition."
Vash slipped his arm around Angel," Yes, they saved our lives. Neither of us would be here without them."
"Really? Why didn't you come to us for comfort? You 'Needlenoggin'! Isn't that what Mr. Wolfwood calls him?"
"Yes," the other answered.
"Who ARE they?" asked Angel.
"Meryll Strife and Millie Thompson, from the Bernardelli Insurance Comapany," Meryll offered Angel her hand. Angel just stared at it," I won't bite, you now," Meryll said irrantly.
"You may not, but I will," Angel sent the girls a look that would make wet wood burst into flames.
"I will too," Autumn stated flatly.
Meryll withdrew her hand and looked at Vash," Well, who are they? I'll have to document that they're staying with you."
"Angel Stampede and Autumn Wolfwood," Vash told her.
"Okay Angel what's your age, height, weight, job, haircolor. . ." she stopped short as her earring were blown off by Angel's gun.
"Go away, I know who you are and why you're here," Angel glared at her and holstered her gun.
"What are you talking about?" asked Meryll.
"I know the REAL reason you're here," Angel answered coldly.
"Well, I still need your information," Meryll told her," fill this out, please," Merlly handed her a pen and clipboard.
Wolfwood's eyes flashed, he thought that pen looked familiar. Where had he seen it though?
"I refuse to play your games. Why don't you just leave?" Angel asked her," If you leave, I won't have to kill you."
It's my job to follow Vash and Wolfwood, I would greatly appreciate it if you didn't get in my way," Meryll shoved the clipboard and pen at her again. Angel picked up the pen. When she pushed the button to release the ink however, she felt a sharp prick and was frozen momentarily. Her head reeled and she fell back into Vash's arms.
"What the hell?" Wolfwood looked down at Angel and put Autumn behind him protectively. Angel knew exactly what Meryll had given her, it was a mutated form of a damn near unstoppable virus.
TRIGUN
Vash looked up at Meryll," What's wrong with her?" he asked through his teeth.
"Heat stroke probably, I wouldn't worry too much," she said.
Millie looked at Meryll," Meryll, let's unpack," she walked to the hotel across the street.
"I'll be back in a moment," Meryll told them. Vash was already in the saloon with Angel.
TRIGUN
Millie looked to Meryll, once inside," This isn't right!" her friend ifnored her,"I can't do this Meryll!" she yelled," I can't and I WON'T!"
"Yes you will! Do you want to die?" Meryll looked up at Millie," Because if we don't go through with THIS mission, he'll kill us!"
"You 'enjoy' this line of work, but I don't. I'm not going to sit by and kill another person!" Millie stormed out of the room.
"You'll never quit! I won't let you!"
TRIGUN
Angel was barely aware of where she was, she tried to stand, Vash's arm caught her," Vash," she started breathless," Vash, Meryll is. . .gonna. . ."
"Shhhhhh. . ." Wolfwood cleared a table in the saloon, Vash lay her down," Don't move, I don't know what's wrong with you yet."
Angel's head felt as if someone were pounding nails through her temples. She knew she'd only get one chance, she HAD to save Millie; Meryll wouldn't wait long before attempting to kill her tooo if she got in the way. Angel struggled, pushing Wolfwood away," Don't fight us!" he told her sternly.
"You don't understand. . .she's gonna kill. . ."
"It's all over, Angel," Vash tried to soothe her.
"She's gonna kill Millie!" Angel gathered her remaining strength and got up. She ran, tripping and stumbling, outside and saw MIllie running away from Meryll.
TRIGUN
Millie ran hard, she knew Meryll would kill her if she caught her. Bullets whizzed past her head. She saw Angel, she tried to tell her to go away. Angel didn't listen.
TRIGUN
Angel pushed Millie out of the way, and shot Meryll's hand. SHe felt a peircing pain shoot through her lungs and saw bright light, then darkness.
END!
HOPE YA'LL ENJOYED!
WILL ANGEL BE ALLRIGHT? DOES MILLIE MAKE IT OUT ALIVE? FIND OUT NEXT TIME. . .
SNEAK PEEK OF CHAPTER 7: ANTIDOTE
Autumn knelt and saw Angel's wounds, she drew her gun and shot Meryll," HOW COULD YOU?" she screamed at her, Meryll hit the ground. Tears streaked down Vash's face and Autumn fell into Wolfwood's arms, weeping.
