Summery: Butch and Cassidy and how they ended up wrapped up in the crime of team rocket.

____________________________________________________________

I could here voices of Butch and the rockets but couldn't make out what they were saying or see much other than bright and dark blurs. Someone was carrying me. As he did so I could make out the voices. "I told you, you were being too rough." Harmony said.

"I told her to say something if it got to hard for her." Pierce said, so that was who was holding me.

"Whatever, now we gotta think of a cover story for this." Harmony said, the anger in her voice very evident. I remembered Pierce and I working on my flinching problem and trying to get it so he couldn't get an attack in, a light slap across the head, and occasionally pulling me into a choke hold. I wiggled out of the hold and went down to trip him, from there I can't remember. "How could you fall on her?" it didn't seem like Harmony was going to forgive him easily. "Well think of a cover already, you were the one who screwed up!"

"I tripped and she was doing homework in the floor. Names..." Pierce stopped speaking to think I assume.

"Sarah, Bob, Rick, and Leslie. There will you too just shut-up already. She's gonna be ok as long as we get her to the ER quick and your arguing isn't making us move faster." That was Butch I would recognize his voice anywhere no matter what the cigarettes do to his voice.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I was mad at Pierce too, but he seemed really sorry. He didn't do it purposely and she had tripped him. I was having second thought about this whole Team Rocket thing, but they had kept their word we didn't miss a meal and Cassidy was eating, which was better than before. We got regular showers and had more than one set of clothing. Something like this would happen no matter what. She only had a broken wrist and nasty bruise on her forehead. She would be back to normal in 6 weeks or less. Leaving the hospital we ran into someone unexpectedly, my father. "Get in the car, Sarah." I said gravely.

"Excuse me sir." Harmony said, she knew something was wrong but had acted natural bumping him out of the way, "Hey Rick, get you and your brother in the car, before I miss my program, Rick?" It was already too late, Pierce and my father were wrestling on the concrete.

"Who do you think you are messing with my son?" my father yelled, I had forgotten how bulky he was or he got really fat after I left. He had Pierce pinned flat on the ground I had to do something. I soon found myself jumping on his back putting my arms around his neck. "Butch you and that girl are in enough trouble as it is. You'd be lucky if her father doesn't have you put in Juviee, so stay out of this." he said throwing me off. I sat back rubbing the forming knot on my head, afraid to get involved again. Pierce was throwing punches from underneath but had little progress; my father however seemed set on killing the younger man. Shouting curse words as he beat him. Then there was two quick sounds like a muffled gun shot but very quiet. I turned around and there was Harmony with a funny looking wepon in her shaking hands she fired two more times.

"Get him off of me" Pierce mumbled from underneath. After a minute or two, Harmony and I managed to roll his heavy body aside. He was still breathing but had been shot four times with the same dart gun they had used on Cassidy two months ago. "You Okay?" He asked me getting in the car, I was the one who should be asking this as his lower lip was swollen and nose was bleeding so bad the hakerchif Harmony gave him was stained bright red and dripping, but I answered his question by nodding quickly. I took one last look at my sleeping father before climbing into the van myself. The rockets had protected us; if it had been just Cass and me we would be home by tomorrow. I knew I couldn't fight my father now much less before. We had made a good decision by signing those papers.
