Hi!

And thanks a lot for my readers and reviewers! You make feel so good and happy, and to jump around my apartment so my son and dog watches me like a crazy person.
Sophie: Don't worry, there will be more of Charlie soon! I just wanted to make Lex more alive. And i've always thought that Charlie is a tough girl who is prone to keep her thoughts from herself. But Shes opening though!
sophia: Thank you for your encouraging words! I'm glad that my spelling isn't that bad anymore, though it still bothers me a bit. Even if some of them can be blamed by tiredness, 'couse i'm writing this mostly at night. And plese do fix them, if you want to. Maybe it helps me to see my mistakes better!
And that's it. Hope you like this, have fun!
Chapter 8
"Have a nice day mr. Thompson! Drive safely!" Lex greeted to her last customer when he left smile on his face.
"is he gone already?" Charlie peaked from the door.
"Yeap. You can come out now." Lex grinned.
"Good. I'm so fed up to my office by now!" Charlie muttered. "I really miss my work at the garage."
"I can believe. I do too miss sometimes my previous job." Lex sighed. "Have you and Throttle talked anything what's happening in future?"
"No. Why?" Charlie was confused.
"Well duh. Obviously you can't keep this garage going like this." Lex explained. "It won't take long when peoples start asking questions. Actually couple of your customers has asked where you are. I have managed to obfuscate them by saying that you are in vacation. Or on the road-duty. But not for long."
"Yeah. I know. I guess I need to ponder around it a little." Charlie hadn't even thought about that yet. "We'll figure something out."
"I know you do." Lex laughed. "If someone does, It's you!"
"Haha! Do you-" Charlie stiffened and listened carefully. "Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Lex tried to listen. "I don't hear a thing."
"Shh!" Charlie heard a creack from kitchen. "That! Someone came from back yard's door."
"So?" Lex wondered. "It's probably Stoker anyways."
"No. That ain't Stoker." Charlie said and turned around to see who entered in the garage.
"Well hello Girls!" Carbine mocked. "And who the hell are you two and what are you doing here?"
"Hi Carbine." Charlie said. "why are you here? Are you... okay?
Charlie and Lex looked at Carbine, she looked like she had a few very bad days behind her. Her eyes were red and there were dark circles around them. Her hair was messy and she had lost her weight. But the thing what bothered them most, was the mad look in her eyes.
"Charlie? Is that you?!" Carbine's eyes widened when she looked at Charlie. "How... convenient. And who might you be? Our little groupie no. 2?"
"I'm Lex, Charlie's friend."She said stiffly. She felt that something bad was going to happen.
"I don't care groupie." Carbine swayed side to side where she stood. "Charlie! Where's Throttle? I need him here. Now!"
"We don't know. They left hours ago." Lex said and carefully moved closer to Carbine. She was sure that she was going to do something.
"I didn't ask from you, bitch!" Carbine hissed at her and looked at her. "I don't care a shit if you don't know! Get him here!"
"Calm down Carbine!" Charlie tried to sooth her. "Everything is okay! I'm sure that the guys are coming soon. Are you hungry? Can I get you anything...?"
"You can keep your miserable sh- what is that in you're ear?" Carbine asked threateningly.
"What?" Charlie was confused and touched her ear.
"Your other ear! Where you get it?! Take it off!" Carbine took her laser gun from it's holster and pointed at Charlie with it. "Are you fucking with my guy?!"
"Whoa! Put it down!" Charlie yelped. This can't be happening!
"DON'T YOU DARE TO SAY WHAT I NEED TO DO! I'M IN CHARGE! I'M THE GENERAL!" Carbine screamed with high pitched voice. "You fucking slut!"
"Carbine! Please put it away!" Charlie pegged. Throttle we need you! "You don't need to do this!"
"Yes I do." Carbine calmed frighteningly quick and smiled sweetly. "I'm going to kill you."
"Stoker? Are ya there coach?" Came thick baritone voice through the comlink.
"Yeah. I'm here Barlow. What's up?" Stoker greeted.
"Problems I'm afraid. It's Carbine." Stoker could hear how serious Barlow was.
"What about her?" Stoker demanded.
"She's missing." Came Barlow's answer. "And she's been weird lately."
"How so?"
"Cranky,more than usual. She haven't slept nor eated. And she speaks to herself all the time. Her assistants is afraid of her."
"That sounds bad. Any idea where she might be?" Stoker was alerted.
"Yeah. There was one thing she muttered repeatedly" Barlow sighed.
"Yeah? Speak it up lieutenant!" He ordered.
"She said... 'I'm gonna get my revenge. Throttle is going to pay.'"
Then Stoker was startled by a alarming sound. Someone was shooting with a laser gun at the garage.
Before Carbine could pull the trigger, Lex grabbed from Carbine's laser. She had managed to move right next to Carbine when her concentration was on Charlie.
"Back off, bitch!" Carbine yelled when they fought over the gun. The gun shot accidentally couple of times and one of the shots scratched from Charlie's thigh.
They wrestled for a while and Lex almost got the gun, but then Lex's grip from it slipped and Carbine kicked her to her stomach and raised the gun and pulled the trigger again. And again.
The time stopped when Charlie started to scream as she watched when there came two spreading red spot to Lex's body, one to her right shoulder and the other to the left side of her waist. And then, after Lex stumbled couple steps backwards, tripped to her bike and fell to the floor gasping and in few seconds there was a huge puddle of blood under her.
Throttle please! Hurry! She's gonna die!
Throttle we need you!
At the Quigley field Throttle stiffened when he heard her cry and stopped his run. And a second later he was tackled by a three muscular martian mice.
"Get off! We need to get back to the garage!" Throttle shouted from underneath.
"What? Why?" Vinnie whined. "The game is still going."
"It end's now!" Throttle snapped. "Our girls is in trouble!"
Nothing else needed to say and everyone rushed to their bikes. They had drove for a couple minutes he heard something what filled him with horror. Throttle please! Hurry! She's dying!
"We don't know what there is happening, so keep your heads cool." Throttle ordered as they drove as fast as they could. " And I mean you, Vinnie! Lex is already hurt..."
"What? Oh man!" Vinnie grimaced and gunned his Sweetheart even faster. Modo, Rimfire and Throttle right behind him.
I'm coming Charlie! We are coming!
"And now you. Did I hurt you?" Carbine smiled as she saw Charlie's bleeding thigh.
Charlie glanced at it, she hadn't even noticed it after Lex was hurt. She took a step away from Carbine and winced when the pain came.
"I have to confess. I have waited for this so long. Precious little saint-Charlie. Charlie this, Charlie that. Blaah, blaah, blaah!" Carbine continued.
Charlie watched in horror when Carbine giggled madly in front of her. And that was the time when Stoker crashed into the garage and made Carbine to snatch from Charlie's neck with her tail to cover herself.
"Drop it Carbine. Let her go." Stoker growled at her as she bushed her gun to Charlie's head. "This is gonna end now."
"Well ain't that our little gramps." Carbine laughed. "Don't you know that crashing into someone else's party is rude."
"Bitch please..." Stoker muttered silently before he spoke out loud and eyed quickly around to see if there was any more threats. "Come to your senses already. I really don't wanna shoot you."
"Oh, liar. But don't worry. I surely want to shoot you two." Carbine grinned as she took her second gun from it's holster and started to shoot recklessly at Stoker and giggled the whole time.
"Your cheesiness sir...?" Karbuncle wheesed as he approached to Limburgers office.
"Yes, my wicked doctor?" Limburger sighed boredly.
"I have a news for you, which I think might glee you up sir."
"Oh really?" Limburger straightened on his chair.
"Yes. We have a visual to miss Davidson's garage and there is a situation going on at this precise moment."
"Oh marvelous! But it on already!" Limburger grinned and chuckled from delight.
"What the hell?! Carbine?!" Throttle yelped when the guys crashed in. Understandably he was shocked to see his ex rampaging there. "What the hell are you doing here?! You let Charlie go before this gets nasty!"
Carbine stopped shooting and grinned delightfully. "Well ain't that my little mousey. We've been waiting for you. Where the hell have you been?!"
"That ain't your problem. Let Charlie go!" Throttle grimaced as he saw Charlie in danger. "Are ya okay hun?"
"I'll be okay. Lex..." Charlie winced.
Modo and Vinnie tried to take a safe aim at Carbine, but Charlie was always at the way.
"Shut up bitch!" Carbine yelled at her and tightened her tail's grip and made Charlie to choke. Then she turned her sight to Throttle. "You don't give me orders if you don't want the same happen to your precious Charlie as happened to that tiny bitch."
"Where is Lex? What have you done to her?!" Stoker growled dangerously.
"Oh you didn't notice? She's behind that bike behind me. I thought that she needed a sleep, so now she's resting." Carbine giggled. "And now she's truly resting in peace!"
Stoker looked what she meant and his heart jumped painfully when he saw the sight. All that blood wasn't giving any hopes. " You fucking bitch! I'm gonna rip you in pieces!"
Stoker almost fled to get her in his hands, but Modo was behind him and stopped him.
"Tut tut. That isn't the way to talk to a lady. Especially to a lady with a gun." Carbine chuckled and bushed her gun tighter against Charlie's head. Charlie's eyes were burning from tiers and fear. She couldn't breathe and she started to see spots around her. She was silently begging them to do something to help Lex.
"You are not a Lady." Modo muttered tiers in his good eye when he looked at Lex. "My momma would be very disappointed at you right now."
"Your momma this and that. You seriously need a new idol." Carbine rolled her eyes. "But where was I? Oh yes..."
She turned her eyes at Throttle. "I'm gonna make you suffer. You miserable piece of shit! How dare you leave me. Nobody leaves me!"
As she spoke she pressed her hot gun to Charlie's wound and made Charlie to yelp even though she tried not to show her hurt. Harder by every word.
"And now you're paying for it by this bitch's life." Carbine smiled sweetly.
"NO!" Throttle cried when she started to pull the trigger.
"Hey. You fucking tramp." Came weak voice from behind of Carbine making her snap her sight to Lex's way. "Catch this!"
Lex had pulled herself half on top of her bike.
And then there came a sharp knife flying straight to Carbine's head and, before she could even blink her eyes, it sank to the hilt right between her eyes.
Carbine stood there a while, a puzzled look on her face, before her guns dropped to the floor and then she herself followed right after that with a splash.
"Well that was a n unexpected, but so interesting, turn in this little story of ours." Limburger smiled. "When does our next step start?"
"In these minutes sire."
"Excellent!" Limburger chuckled and took a handful of worms and stuffed them to his mouth as he kept watching the happenings.
Please let me know what you think about this one, some of it still bother's me, but hey, it's not that serious! Love ya all!
