*Smudge watches Shadow's capture apathetically, Jayne's attention is completely absorbed by RM's wound*

Smudge: *to #7 Slig* Tell me about it! I'm getting Arnie NOW! *runs off full-speed for Arnie's Office*

Jayne: ....*a moment of horrified disbelief as her tear-filled eyes follow a drop of blood down RM's chest to the floor* ....

Jayne: *SCREAMS and falls to her knees, her clenched fists shaking from her sheer emotion alone, her face gone white with fear as she stares at the fatal-looking wound*

=+=+=+=+=+=+=

*Smudge runs up to Arnie, out of breath from all the action even though his mechanical pants did the running*

Smudge: BOSS! ....Quick....Doctor....Jammer bleeeding to death...and Red Muse....big fight down at the Stockyards....Please call for help! We need a doctor. I'll find Rick and the other mudokons. We...*huff*...we gotta stop them from--from killing each other! *runs to the Rest Room*

=+=+=+=+=+=+=

Jayne: ODD! NO! MUSE, DON'T DIE! DON'T DIE!!!

*Jayne rips off the hem of her loincloth to bandage RM's wound, but the scrap of cloth is quickly drenched in blood*

Jayne: I'm sorry! I'm sorry Muse, this is all my fault! Don't die! Don't die, I can't make it without you--don't die! *her voice breaks into violent sobs and she can't talk anymore, but kneels there desperately holding the blood-soaked rag against RM's wound, burrying her face into his arm and half-audibly cursing herself between fits of tears*

Jayne: ....I'm sorry Muse....

Jayne's Thoughts: "If he dies...I'll never forgive myself...NEVER!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Vince: *pretending to watch his toes as he listens in on Ammy and Cael's conversation*

*The door of the Rest Room is suddenly kicked in with a loud BANG!*

Smudge: SCRUBS! GETCHER LAZY A**ES OUT HERE AND FOLLOW ME!

Vince: --What the?

Adrian: *startled awake* --rrrr...

Smudge: AMMY! VINCE! CORLO-WHATSYAFACE! And uh--YOU! GET OVER HERE! --LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION! PRONTO! LET'S MOVE!

Correl: *wakes up startled* Hum?! Wha?

Vince: C'mon Gramps, let's go...*gets up and runs after Smudge*

Smudge: --Follow me! *takes off toward the Stockyards at full pace*

Correl: --Wait up!

Adrian: ....rrrr?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jayne's Thoughts: "Odd....if you're there....save him....save Muse....Don't leave me alone! I'm sorry I shot Jammer.....but don't take Muse from me....Don't!"

Jayne: You're gonna be okay--*sniff*--Muse. See? *not believing herself, she starts bawling again*

<><><><><><><><><><>

Smudge: Vince, you and the others go on ahead. I gotta look for Rick. Go to the Stockyards!

Vince: Alright. *keeps running*

<><><><><><><><><><>

*Vince arrives at the Stockyards and sees Shadow getting lugged away*

Vince: --wha? ...*notices RM* --WHA? ...*notices Jammer* --WHA?! Okay, well, someone's gotta save Shadow!

Vince: *to Jammer and RM* Hold on guys, the others will be here to help you soon! *grabs a Blitzpacker and runs to the nearest air vent and climbs in, to follow Shadow from above*

Vince's Thoughts: "Death, kidnap, murder...I don't get paid enough to put up with all this!"
