Vince swivelled on his heels.
"Vince O'Reilly," He said, shrugging "Is that a crime?"
A debateable point, maybe, but he couldn't personally see his (many and varied) mistakes. A little nostalgia was nothing to be ashamed of, was it?
Damn well better not be he thought.

Gersemi stood up and walked over to Vince. She gripped her pipe between her teeth and smiled.
"C'mon, Xander, is that anyway to greet someone," she said teasingly. She reached her hand out to shake Vince's.

Xander cocked an eyebrow at Gersemi. He slowly sauntered over to Vince and gave him a nod. "Xander Trciker...owner of the garage."
"Annnnnnnnd!!!!!! Daxter!" Daxter jumped up on Xander's shoulder. "But you can just call me...'Orange Lightning'!" he said, striking a heroically pose. "Now whaddya want?"
Xander brought his hand up and smacked Daxter in the back of the head.
Daxter growled.

Vince shook Gersemi's hand. He looked over her shoulder briefly at the small orange ferret-y thing and gave it a withering look.
"Charmed to meet you, Ms...?" He half-asked, raising both eyebrows and looking straight into her eyes, their pinkness surprising him to no small degree.

"I'm Gersemi," she said politely. She was always a terrible actress, so her voice had a tone so sugary it could make someone sick. Inside, she was trying to figure out the best way to handle this situation. she could pull the gun out now, but that was too easy. She leaned over to Xander and whispered, "It's the target."

Xander heard Gersemi's whisper. He kept a stern, carefree face. Hoping Vince wouldn't notice. He backed up a little and smiled. "Well, Vince, what can i do for ya?" Xander asked politely. Over the past few years, he had become good at lying and keeping a straight face at it.
Daxter heard Gersemi's whisper. He smiled and jumped off of Xander's shoulder. he jogged over into the closet and jumped on a shelf away from site and held a gun in his hands. If Vince tried anything funny, Daxter was gonna blow his face off.

Vince lowered one eyebrow and watched Daxter dissappear off. Unaware of any sudden judgement, he smiled and cast an eye around the garage. His eyes settled on a pile of C-88 ceramic hubcaps, and he sighed.
"Nothing, really, just passing through," He gave Xander a wide grin.

"Passing through?" Gersemi asked. ^%$#, he's gonna leave, she thought. I have to act fast! "Where are you headed?"
She was not going to let this guy out of her sight. Work was hard to come by these days. She was running low on funds, and her pride wouldn't let her ask for money from her family. She could ask anything of her brother Haldis, but her eldest brother Feoras disapproved of her profession greatly. He wanted her to be like their youngest sister, Petra: happily married and bearing strong sons. Gersemi shirvered at the thought. Petra was only 16 and pregnant with her second child! Gersemi wasn't cut out for that kind of life, although she wished she could be just as happy as Petra was.

"Passing through in the Waste?" Xander asked. It seemed like an odd route. Gersemi already asked the question Xander was going to ask. Xander sat back down on his stool and started to work on the jet board for Gersemi. He angeled the mirror on the workbench to see Vince and Gersemi. He could see Daxter in the closet. Xander smiled and tried to keep form laughing.
Daxter couldn't hold the gun up. He stumbled around the shelf, but finally caught himself before he went over the edge. He looked at Xander and winked.

"Yup." Said Vince looking back to Xander "I've been told to get lost, so I have. I don't have the foggiest idea where I am. Please don' tell me. I like not knowing,"
He caught a glimpse of Daxter out of the corner of his eye, and the silvery-grey thing he was carrying, but thought nothing of it. After all, little pests to all kinds of things.

Just catch him now, Gersemi's mind urged her. Do it now! Gersemi was always prone to rush blindly into things, and it usually ended badly. Her bad habit kicked in again, and she took out her gun. She raised it and held it at Vince's temple.
"Well, good thing you didn't get lost yet," she said coldly, " 'Cause I've been looking for you."

Xander saw Gersemi point her gun at Vince. Xander turned around and gestured Daxter to come over with the gun.
Daxter rushed over and threw Xander the gun. "Get 'em., X!"
"Shut up, Dax." Xander said, catching the gun. Xander went over to Vince and pointed the gun at him.

"Oh bollocks," Sighed Vince, in the tone of someone whose patience is being sorely tested "It seems I can't win here, doesn't it?"
He tried to restrain his muscles, every one of which was screaming at him to do something. He had to admit though, two guns generally meant that negotiations were over. Time for a new plan.
He brought his plank rifle up swiftly from his side, bringing it up against Gersemi's pistol with an audible crunch. Just to be on the safe side, he pulled the trigger which, against all probability, discharged a .303 rifle cartridge over Gersemi's shoulder.

Seeing Vince shot at Gersemi, Xander fired at at Vince. Xander looked at Gersemi. "Are you ok?" He asked. He pointed the gun back at Vince. With his free hand, he slipped his sword out of the strap on his back and tossed the gun to Daxter. He pointed the sword toward Vince.
Daxter jumped at the gun fires. He quickly saw the gun and caught it. He pointed it at Vince. "You're in deep %#@& now, man." he smirked.

Gersemi was thrown off balance by Vince's shot. She could tell that coming along peacefully wasn't an option now. She began growing rock over her hands, and it crawled over her gun as well. She saw the dent Vince left in her gun, and she fired off three shots. Gun safety was never important to her.

Vince followed his gun's trajectory and swung down with it as the three shots pulverised the wall behind him. He pulled on the gun's cocking lever which made a dubious crunch and he leapt in the vague direction of the garage door, head down .

"You're not goin' anywhere." Xander said t0o Vince as he poked his sword through his shirt and threw Vince back against the wall. Xander looked back at the garage door and closed ti with his mind.
Daxter watched as Vince hit the wall and Daxter pointed the gun at him again.
Xander put his sword by his side and looked at Vince, then looked at Gersemi.

"Good job, Xander," shouted Gersemi, "I told you you'd be perfect for this job."
She raised her gun steadily this time and pointed it at Vince. She didn't even try to supress her glee. The chase was one of the best parts.
"Come quietly or we can do this the hard way."

Kioko silently watched the desert sand, fixed on her hunches poised to strike. Suddenly a small movement caught her eye and she pounced letting out a entusiastic mew as she landed on the small lizard creature. Slowly she bent her head down and lifted her paws only to have the lizard escape her grasp and go running tword the raceing garage.
With mew of frustration Kioko followed the small creature, bounceing on her paws and leaping at it in akward intervals. The small lizard trying to escape its huntress ran into the garage, darting under one of the work tables and staying still and close to the ground and Kioko followed. She had been in the garage before,she had become accustomed to the acidic smells of the cars and zoomers and of the strange inhabidance that seemed to always lurk inside.
Suddenly the door closed the echoing sound makeing the small muse jump and dart underneth one of the workbenches. Forgetting about the small lizard she had chased into the garage the muse made herself as small as she could the only thing that could be seen from under the bench being her large green eyes.

"Come quietly to what?" Asked Vince, both eyebrows raised "You're gonna kill me whatever happens,"
He stood up and turned around, both hands in the air. He looked under the bench at the two green glowing eyes, both hands still in the air.
"Hullo again, y'little scamp you,"
