Ch. 5, Run Nathan Run

Charlie looked over at Nathan, "You alright there Nathan"

"Yeah, I'll be fine, but what about Kathryn? We both know she knows very little about this world..." he paused.

"I think she'll be fine, remember when she got lost in London?" asked Charlie.

"Not really." he mumbled.

"She was drunk when we found her, she had gotten everyone to start the train," laughed Charlie.

Nathan chuckled, "So much like Kathryn. Always the center of attention she is, and stubborn as hell, she's not one to not let herself be heard. I suppose she'll find a Jedi"

Grievous rounded on them, "May I join in on this conversation of yours. Thank you... now... be quiet"

"Gah he's worse than Kathryn when she's pms..." Nathan muttered under his breath. Charlie snorted, "What he is " mumbled Nathan.
Grievous growled, he doesn't like being talked about.

"1 alien, 1 droid, 98 ass whole," said Charlie.

Nathan laughed as Grievous rounded on them, "Do you mind shutting up or do I have to make you "

"How about neither?" asked Nathan.

Grievous stalked close to hit Nathan but Charlie stepped in, "What he meant was we'll be quiet with out talking, "she shot Nathan a warning look.

Nathan rolled his eyes but her remained silent.

"Looks like I need to fix that attitude of yours when we get on the ship " said Grievous to Nathan.

Charlie does a finger motion to Nathan of a needle.

"That's only half of it, wait to see what the drugs do," she whispered to Nathan she even shivers at the thought.

"Do I even want to know what it does?" asked Nathan.

"Very painful lets leave it at that." said Charlie.

Grievous looked at Charlie, "Do you miss my drugs"

"Top ten of my worst nightmares," said Charlie.

Grievous laughed, "As a matter of fact I've made some new ones. We'll test them once we get off this rock"

Charlie gulped, "New ones?" squeaked Nathan.

"Doesn't that sound fun?" asked Grievous.

"Not really..." mumbled Nathan.

"What's your meaning of fun anyway?" asked Charlie.

Grievous looked at Charlie, "I been waiting two longs years for you to return Charlie, just imagine what I have planed for you"

"You really need a life " said Nathan glaring at Grievous.

"Would you like for me to take your?" asked Grievous.

"No I'm good " said Nathan.

Charlie sighed, "I just know this is gonna be a painful trip"

"You think?" asked Nathan.

Charlie glared at Nathan, "I'll be getting more of it than you will "

Nathan shrugs, "Just being cheerful"

Charlie slapped him, "Its not helping "

"Oww," whined Nathan.

"If that hurt you that much I don't know what you're going to when I start." said Grievous.

"Neither do I," Nathan mumbled under his breath.

"What was that my boy?" asked Grievous.

"Nothing sir " said Nathan.

"It will be better to tell the truth Nathan, he doesn't like being lied to." mumbled Charlie.

"You should listen to her, she's already been through it before." said Grievous.

"It was nothing of importance sir " said Nathan.

Charlie shook her head as Grievous jerked Nathan up off the ground, "Put him down "

Grievous pushed Charlie away, "Tell me what you said boy "

"I said neither do I " cried Nathan.

"Don't whisper or lie to me again, do you understand. You got off lucky for now boy " he dropped Nathan.

"Bastard " snapped Nathan. Grievous then hit Nathan.

Charlie jumped up and stood between Nathan and Grievous, "Stop now "

"You're going to regret that you left her behind you bastard " snapped Nathan.

"I think she'll regret that I didn't kill you, when I'm done with you " Grievous snapped back.

"Shut up Nathan you're making it worse for both of us " said Charlie.

Nathan glared at everything and then stares fixedly at some spot beyond where Charlie and Grievous could see.

"Let's continue shall we the ship is not far." said Grievous.

A bodyguard put Nathan back on to his feet. Charlie made a serious choice, she whispered to Nathan, "Aren't you on the track team"

"Nathan " she finally snapped at him, Grievous looked back at Charlie.

Nathan nodded, showing he was listening and to confirm.

Charlie whispered low so Grievous couldn't hear, "When I tell you to I want you to run like hell and don't stop. Got that"

Nathan nodded again.

"Charlie what are you talking about back there?" Grievous asked cooly.

"Good, don't forget, when I say so you run and don't stop." she whispered to Nathan.

"Charlie " growled Grievous.

Charlie looked at Grievous, "Yes"

"What are you whispering about?" asked Grievous.

"I was just telling Nathan how much you favor a baboon " smiled Charlie. Nathan smiled a little at the comment.

Grievous jerks up Charlie, "And what makes you say that"

Charlie suddenly grabbed one of the light sabers form his belt and he failded to notice it, "Because you're ugly and because of this," she then turned the saber on and stabbed it threw one of his joints.

He dropped her and the bodyguards swarm in on her, "GO NOW NATHAN " she cried.

Nathan took of sprinting back towards where they had left Kathryn.

"AFTER HIM " yelled Grievous grabbing Charlie by the back of her neck, "you little... oh you are so going to pay for that " he hissed in her ear.

"Just like old times." she mumbled through her teeth.

"I'm glad you remember"

"Actually I did forget some things"

"Oh I'll make sure you don't this time," he laughed evilly in her ear.

Charlie gulped, "I thought you might say that." Grievous dragged her aboard his ship.
