The gun shot rang out around the abandoned house as Lucy shot out his knee. Or tried to. He was fast. Their bounty was a fast one. He wouldn't get caught. Lucy finally shoved her gun back into the holster, the gold light surrounded her again, and she was part cat again. Her speed was astounding, and even more astounding was her beauty when in, as she called it, Gold Cat. A soft gold light surrounded her and her eyes turned gold. She had claws when in Gold Cat. Her fangs were always present, they just became longer when in Gold Cat. The victims of Gold Cat usually surrendered when they saw her, but not this one. He refused to give in, even when his face was bloodied by her claws. Finally, she leaped back and split open her wound, which knocked her out of Gold Cat. That was Train's cue. His arm came up with the gun, and he knocked him out. She sat heavily on the ground, pressing her palm onto the wound. She stopped the bleeding relatively quick and she stood up.

"You know, your wound keeps coming open. It's probably not a good thing."

"Whatever Sven. I don't care. I can't just do nothing while you guys are off trying to pay for MY injury."

"But, by helping us, you might make it worse."

"And I will recover."

"But by making it worse we might have to pay more!"

"Then I will pay for it on my own. After all, Saya wouldn't leave her sister with nothing." At this, Sven's eye began to twitch.

"You…. You mean you've had your own money all this time?"

"Well, ya! Saya wouldn't leave me with nothing. She even gave me some of her personal possessions!" At this, Sven's legs gave out.

"You had money all this time… AND YOU MADE US SPEND MONEY ON YOU!?"

"Well, you guys never asked if I had money of my own….."

"Why did we need to ask!?"

"Whatever. I'll pay you back if you want."

"No, no Lucy, that isn't necessary. Besides, just having you with us should pay it all off Luce." Train said. Lucy stepped back. Stevin had been the only one, ever, to call her Luce.

"What did you just call me?"

"Luce. Why? Is there a proble-" He didn't get to finish that. Lucy had already jumped away. She jumped until she was far away, and then she wept. She missed them. Saya and Steven, both within 12 days of each other. She was still weeping when the boy found her. He was strange, she could sense the same aura around this kid as was around Creed. She stood up, wiping away her tears. He watched her, but didn't move towards her. It was starting to creep Lucy out. So she walked away. The boy followed. She started to run, he also started to run. So she decided, it was time to get away. She leaped up onto a roof, but the boy followed, on a skateboard.

"Lucy Minatsuki!" His voice made Lucy stopped dead. She slowly turned to look at him. "Creed has requested you come with me."

"Well tell him that I don't give a rat's ass what he wants!"

"Oh, bad answer. I was told to take you by force if I must." And then Lucy could no longer breathe. She blacked out.
