Disclaimer: I do not own Enslaved, I just really enjoyed the game. I have some OOC's in this one and I will do more with them as my daydreams going on.

Refueling

They were out of food, that damn pig had eaten everything and now they had no food left. "You jackass, how could you eat everything in the whole damn vessel?" Monkey was once again thinking about how he was going to kill that pig.

"Well I was hungry. What was I suppose to do, go hungry?" Monkey glanced at Trip, who was asleep on the ugly yellow couch, fortunately for Pigsy. "Yes you can afford to go hungry but she can't. If she loses any weight she'll blow away. Do you have any idea where we are?"

Pigsy looked at his console and then a map and then at Monkey; "West of where we were." Monkey closed his eyes as he fought the need to hit Pigsy, he took a deep breath, opened his eyes to look around them. "Hey, I think that I know this area. Go north Pigsy." Pigsy snorted; "What's north? Why have you been this far west?" "I go wherever there is food and fuel and if I'm right one of the places that I trade with is just north of here."

Pigsy turned the flying vessel north and within five minutes they could see smoke, dust and movement. "People here? We're in the middle of nowhere and east of where she wants to go." Pigsy jerked his head back to Trip, who was starting to wake up. "Hey guys what's going on? Why are we slowing down?" Monkey turned to face her; "This pig ate all the food and now we're going to have to stop to get more."

Trip's pretty eyes widened. "He ate all the food? We had enough to last for three weeks!" "Well you father's friend doesn't know when to say no." Was the reply that Trip got and Pigsy got another glare. "Where are we landing then? Is there anything out here?" Monkey nodded; "Yeah one of the communities that I trade with is here. It's a center of trade of sorts. I know the leader Turtle can help us. But we will have to do work for the food." The communicator hissed into life and a woman's voice came over the comm "State your business or we will shoot you down."

Monkey looked down at the console, then to Trip; "The middle one that's the one that will open the line back." He nodded his thanks and hit the button "It's Monkey and I have friends with me." The woman screeched at that "Monkey? It's been what almost year since you were here. I'll tell them to power down the guns and tell Turtle that you're back. Got work for you."

Monkey rolled his eyes and turned to Pigsy; "Take us down where they tell you. And try not to embarrass yourself when we get there." Pigsy gave Monkey an odd look then turned all his attention to landing them in one piece. Trip sat up on the couch and motioned to Monkey to join her. "What's this place like? Who's Turtle?" She asked him and Monkey bit his bottom lip before he answered her.

"It's an interesting place. Turtle runs it and it's the only place that I know of that we can get food, fuel and information. Turtle runs this whole area not even the slavers dare come here and with damn good reason too." Trip's face broke into a smile; "What happens to the slavers that come here?" Monkey gave her a sideways glance; "You have become more bloodthirsty since your father..." his voice trailed off and Trip looked down to hide the tears in her eyes. "Ah jeez I shouldn't have said anything."

Trip shook her head and smiled thinly; "No it's okay. I'll have to get used to being...what am I now?" Monkey chuckled "I can tell you that you're a vengeful angel." The vessel thudded to a stop as they landed. "Come on you two" Pigsy told them; "We're here everywhere here is."

Monkey took a deep breath, then opened the doors. The sun blinded Trip for a moment but when her eyes adjusted to the unfiltered sunlight, she saw the biggest active human settlement that she had ever seen. People were everywhere, the noise overwhelmed her. Trip backed behind Monkey as she looked around her and saw that people were looking back.

"Monkey! Where by the gods have you been hiding?" A small girl ran up to them and threw herself into Monkey's arms. "Mai, I had to get out of here after that job for Turtle. Is that bounty still on my head?" Mai twisted out of his arms and proceeded to examine Trip and Pigsy; "She's cute where did you find her? And what by the gods is that smell?" Trip examined Mia back, Mia was little, tiny really, with blonde hair and huge clear blue eyes.

Trip felt all the dirt, the bruises and the fact that she hadn't washed her hair in too long, the girl's outfit wasn't helping either. She was dressed in dress that matched her eyes and that hugged all her curves. Trip looked down to Pigsy and saw the slack-jawed expression on his face; "Where...Who...How did you meet this very lovely girl Monkey and why haven't you told me about it?" was the first thing out of Pigsy's mouth. Mai laughed at this; "I have known Monkey for how long is it? Five years?" Monkey shrugged, he looked around; "Where is Turtle? And what new hell job is it now?"

"Now now my dear, I have you know that I only give the jobs that I know that you can do with your eyes closed." Trip's eyes were pulled to the new voice, another feminine voice light like silver bells and the woman that spoke made Mai look like a little girl playing at being a woman. Her full lips are drawn into a secret smile, her black hair was half twisted up and the rest flowed down her back like fine ink and her eyes, they were the color of the purest jade. She wasn't in a dress but a pantsuit that fit her full form and shoes that were just the tiniest heels. She stepped down from the building nearest them, walked around Monkey to look at Trip.

"She is just lovely. Where did you pick her up dear?" Monkey snorted " I didn't pick her up anywhere. It's too difficult to explain in a few minutes." The woman smiled her secret smile again and turned to Trip; "I'm Turtle dearest but you can call Amelia if you wish." Turtle winked at Trip, then she threaded her arm through Trip's and started to walk back into the building.

Monkey grabbed Trip's other arm and told Turtle; "She's not a new girl here. She's my friend." Turtle raised her eyebrows at him; "I know that she's not. I'm just being a good hostess. You know being polite? You do remember what being polite is don't you? Or do you need a refresher while you're here as well as whatever you drove you here?" Monkey dropped Trip's arm and glanced to the ground, as feminine laughter came down from the building and Trip was gently lead into the building called "The Blue Silk".
