"Viv, he could kill again!"
"I could. But I'm not. I fully intend to make it to Mexico, you see."
"What if you're lying?"
"Do you want a fucking pledge?" Sands was getting impatient.
"Violence ain't th'answer! Ah jes want mah turn at this here perdy thing 'n Ah'm gone too! Why, Ah even seem t'remember threatenin' you before..." Shooter's eyes scrunched up in thought.

"Let him go," she pleaded. "For once I'm inclined to believe him he has no reason to kill anyone anymore."

Roux backed away, anger in his eyes.
"Thank you. Now, I'll be on my way. If you need me to have an escort, I will. But it's not goin to be him. Something tells me I've got him by the short and curlies and I don't even want him there," Sands snorted.

"No reason to be mad," she muttered, placing her hand on Roux's arm. "So now what are we going to do with him?"
She jerked her head towards Shooter with a look of disgust.

Vivian's eyes widened and she stepped behind Roux, peeking out from behind him.
"I don't like you," she said pouting.

"Well Ah happen t'like you missus. Ah like you a lot," he grinned.
"Shooter, stop," Roux said quietly.
"What're you gonna do about it?"
"I'm not going to let you touch her."

(i'm so tempted to have her say my hero, but that would be funny and funny wouldnt be good right now)
She whimpered quietly and grabbed Roux's hand more to reasure herself then him.

Roux hoped his hands weren't sweating and squeezed Vivian's hand back. "You've got no claim on her, promise or not."
" 'N Ah suppose you do, then?"
Roux had a smart comment, but he bit his lip on it. He didn't have a claim either. She was Zack's and Roux respected that but, Shooter couldn't have her. Roux couldn't have her. "No."
Shooter grinned ferally. "So you can't stop me."

Vivian was trembling, this really wasn't good. She peered fearfuly at Shooter and blanched. The look he was giving her was disgusting.
"Roux, please do something." She whispered.

He had an idea, a sudden inspiration. "I'm a part of Zack you know. His conscience, if you want. If that's not a claim, then I don't know what is," he answered.
"Then what does that make me?" Shooter snapped. "Chopped liver?"
"Zack won't let you."
"He'll let you?"
He couldn't protect her. He couldn't stop the verbal onslaught. It'd dissolve into something physical and he knew he couldn't stop him with his still aching shoulder. He hadn't noticed that every muscle in his body was taut and his shoulder and stomach were now burning in pain. He couldn't win. He had a fleeting thought that that's what it must have been like for Zack.
"Viv, you've got to run."
"Ah won't let her escape!"
"Viv, run."

Vivian squeezed Roux's hand once before backing away slowly. Even though she knew the door was right behind her she was too afraid to have her eyes leave Shooter. Finally after what seemed like forever she backed into the door. Jerking the handle down she flew out the door and into the corridor, wondering what on earth she was going to do now.

Shooter howled. "You let her git away!"
Roux smiled emotionlessly. "I did."
Shooter growled and barreled right for Roux, who sidestepped to avoid the angry farmer. He was assuming that Shooter would want to fight, but he hadn't planned on Shooter's desire for hot monkey sex Shooter continued his path straight out the door and after Vivian.
Roux felt his shoulder droop. "Oh shit."

A loud bang on the door shook her out of her thoughts. She basically flew down the corridor and turned right before the end of it into a secret passage way that led to the dungeons, much slower now she walked through the path, hoping shooter hadn't seen her disappear through the wall.
