*7:22 PM, June 7*
It's okay, Scythe can take care of herself. She'll be just fine,all I need to worry about is getting...wait can we still go to Mikes? Should we call it off? No, Leela that was stupid, Should just me and B go? But then what about Scythe? And what do we do with Tech and Shoot? Wake them up? Go on without them?No we can't just leave them comatose. I wonder if there are any more enemies we have to watch out for? Surely that brittle looking blond girl can't be all there is...
"That was not a very good guard," B commented interrupting Leela's train of thought. "To not see us just ducked down here on this boat...What kind of boat is this anyway?" Blade sighed.
"You idiot, his whistling was a signal,possibly to alert others we're here.And for your information this is a fishing boat.Crabs more specifically."
"How would you know what kind of boat this is?" B asked.
"Umm, duh, the crates. They use-oh forget about the boat!"Leela steamed, angrier then she needed to be.
"What do we do then? Captain!?" B asked reminding Leela that poor B was just waiting for orders(and got yelled at >,> wink .
"Hey, Blade...Scythe--" B started before she was so rudely interrupted.
"Scythes just fine!!" Leela hissed.
"But that cough attack....Scythe knows a lot of things, I think it's time.... we make good use of that. Before...."
"Scythe has plenty of time to teach them!" Leela snarled clenching her fists.
"Blade, pay a visit to reality! We're running short on time! Do you intend to leave them just like that!? Let me and Scythe teach them! Tech and Shoot are so small yet, they don't know the real dangers of this job! Don't you see Blade? We have to get them out. Before they get in to deep. Like the three of us have." B stopped to stare at her left hand. "They're still just kids. They have lives. It's different for them."
"Scythe has a life. A school life. I'm sure she's got friends. And probably family too. I don't even know why she got in this in the first place. Maybe it was just a thrill for her."
"Some thrill." B stated staring at her hand again. "Then again Scythe is the type of person who would risk her life everyday just for some fun."
"I knew I sensed something stupid being discussed." Came a strained voice.
"Scythe...." B and Leela both uttered at the same time. They turned to see a drenched Scythe walking toward them her white baggy sweater looked so heavy, as it really really looked three times too big for her, and her jeans (way too loose) looked as though they were going to slide off her. She held her scythe in her hand low by her side, and it made a keen sound as the blade scrapped against the quay wood.
"I ran into her earlier. I'm looking forward to this now." Scythe said with a smile.
"Her?" B asked, "The girl from TICK? The blonde one?"
"No, never seen that blond girl before. The other one." Scythe replied.
"The problematic one." Blade said.
"Yep." Scythe said.
"Crap." Blade sighed. "Major complications. At least tell me you kicked her butt?" Blade asked.
"......" Scythe didn't reply. Instead she turned toward the comatose children.
"Blade, I think you need to make a decision now." Scythe said. Leela sighed and stared at Tech and Shoot for a moment.
"Fine."
