Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

Howard Gets Stoned

Bucky kept staring at the question. What madness was this? Who put something like that on a multiple-choice test?

Within a dash, Howard hit Bucky over the head with a chair. Immediately, one of Bash's two deputies fell unconscious. Howard then knelt down and got the key to the cell door from Bucky's belt.

Niall looked at Howard with questioning eyes. What kind of a question had that been?

"Oh, come on! You would have put something just as ludicrous down!"

Did Howard even know Niall? Did Niall even know Howard that well? Since when did Howard use the term 'ludicrous'? Just Howard saying 'ludicrous' was ludicrous! What kind of a dreamer was Niall?

As soon as the door was unlocked, Ken ran into the jail. Howard quickly went for his gun when he saw that Ken was unarmed and had no gun on his person.

"Come now, Howard! Would you really shoot an unarmed man?" Ken had a point. If Howard were to shoot Ken, then Howard would start coming across as a murderer and not the merry robber he and his two friends were.

"A shoob like you? Unarmed? That's a laugh!" Howard also had a point. When was Ken ever truly unarmed?

"Indeed it is!" Ken ripped is shirt open and a fireball shot from his naked chest.

Clearly, a sleep deprived Niall was capable of having such dreams as these. The only other time he had dreams like this was if he were sick.

The fireball hit Howard in the right leg and it turned into stone. Niall's eyes widened, Howard screamed in horror and Ken gave a deliciously evil laugh!

"Okay! Look! Ken, please you like my sister, right? Well, if you let Niall go, I'll take his place."

Ken stood there for a few minutes. What did that have to do with Heidi? How would Howard taking Niall's place make Ken's relationship with Heidi better than it already was? Finally, he stopped thinking and shot another fireball from his chest at Howard. This time, Howard turned to stone entirely.

Shaking from fear, Niall walked back into the cell. Ken relocked the door and sat on the unconscious Bucky. An unconscious Bucky made a good seat and sitting on his back didn't hurt Bucky's face in anyway. He wouldn't mind.
