Returning Home

It was finally safe for the deranged family to return to their homestead. The police had done a thorough search and found nothing. A few odd and disturbing items, yes, but no signs of death, decay, or torture. And it was no crime to own odd disturbing items. Sydney was happy to be returning home and to the normal everyday Firefly lifestyle that she was accustomed. Baby was a bit sad. Even though she was happy to be returning home, she wished that Tammi would be coming with her. She'd love her to meet the rest of her family. But Tammi opted to stay where she was and do some travelling herself. She had originally wanted to start a long term relationship with the other woman, but the other woman declined; preferring open relationship. Baby was fine with this…but she still wanted her to be closer.

Baby was moping all the way home. Sydney looked at her sister. Usually Baby was all chatty. "whats up?" she asked her sister. Baby shrugged. "nuthin…" Baby said softely, quietly. A few more minutes. "Hey, youre gonna be wantin' some ice cream in about 10 miles." Otis suggested trying to cheer his sullen sister up. "No thanks." Baby replied. "Well, I want some rooty fuckin tooty. 2 minutes ain't gonna be a hazard to my fuckin' health. I calculated this." Otis put in. "No thanks." Came Baby's quiet reply. Otis pulled in to the drive way anyway. Come hell or high water, he wanted his damned ice cream. "Its gonna be ok Baby. You'll see." Sydney said gently as she hugged her sister briefly. "Mmm-hmm." Baby replied trying not to let the tears show.

Being as it was too hot to stay in their car, Baby went in with Daddy, Otis, and her sister to the ice cream place. She got some ice cream at Otis's persistence. His treat. It wasn't everyday that your brother got you an ice cream. Little by little she began to feel better. She wondered if Tammi missed her as well. Tammi in fact did…but she was not one to stay with one lover for a long time. She did her flings. If she ever came across Baby again, then she would have no problem rekindling an old "romance." Sydney ordered her usual, cookie dough ice cream with raspberry sauce. "Ice cream with period blood." She sang out a bit too loudly. "That's fuckin' sick. Damnit shit stain, why the fuck…never mind…I don't want to know." Otis growled. Baby stifled a giggle. Seeing her brother annoyed put her in a better frame of mind. They ate their ice cream talking amongst themselves. Keeping an eye out for potential victims. Neither of them realizing they were being watched by not one pair..but two pairs of eyes. The two that were watching them were plotting vengeance. The Firefly's day of reckoning was beginning to come to fruition.

The Secret Call

Person A): You saw them where?

Person B): At the Kalhiki Motel. 4 of them

Person A): And where are they headed now?

Person B): Back home supposedly. You want to call for backup?

Person A): No. not just yet. We wait. They'll slip up and when they do…that's when we get them

Person B): I want to see the look on Baby's face when she sees whats in store for her.

Person A): you will. Our vengeance will be completed when they are all wiped out.

Back at the ranch

They pulled into the drive way, and Mama, Rufus, Tiny came running out to greet the family. Together again. Mama Rufus and Tiny had stayed at Charlie's place in FunTown until everything cleared up. One month of no contact was too long of a time. Even Candy was there to greet the family. Otis engaged the woman in a wild kiss and the two went off together. Baby began to feel sad all over again. Otis had his Candy. Mama was not one to miss this. "What's wrong Baby?" she asked gently. Before Baby could answer, Sydney piped up. "Baby had a "girlfriend" of sorts. Tammi Curr. Curr decided to stay behind and do some traveling so now Baby's all sad." She said. "Well, this Curr don't know what she gave up. Don't worry none Baby. Obviously she don't know what she's missing out on. Besides, "

There was a bright flash, then total darkness. It took some time for the Firefly Clan to realize they had been tied securely to some chairs. As their vision returned their eyes widened as to whom they had seen…
