SURGERY, LIES, AND OUTLAWS--The hunt for 20,000$ (cont.)

Umi was wondering what those creatures behind were. They looking at them with fear and confusion. She felt slightly sorry for them, she and Stranger scaring them nearly out of life. She wanted to go back and interact with the creatures, but Stranger refused her to go, especially in her condition. She argued with him for a while, but even though how many times she tried, Stranger would always win. Not even her innocent looks would give him up. He carried her back to Buzzarton, then she jumped out of his grip, and in to the Bounty store. The clerk was happy to see that they got Eugene back safely to fix up town, and gave him a good paycheck. Stranger then demanded another bounty. The clerk was surprised that his bounty hunter was going to continue through the bounties. The other bounty hunters usually took one bounty, then came back and didn't take another, but just left him behind in the cold lonely office. It was good to have some company at times. He brushed out one poster this time, the poster of Jo Mamma, Stranger already had reviewed.
"She's down at the old shipwreck, digging on up loot. Well, she's down thar illegally, and need's to be stopped. You guys need to go down through the Sewer Treatment plant, and that'll lead you stright to her. But you need's to find that sewer boy. And whoo-damn does he stank!" the clerk shuddered at the time he met the sewer boy at first. Stranger didn't cringe at the clerks remarks, for he was used to bad-smelling things. But Umi, on the other hand, did. She might've gotten down and dirty with enemies, but the one thing she despised was sewers. Anything related to the sewers she denied to. BUt Stranger wasn't going to give up the bounty just because she hated sewers, point blank.
'So, lem'e get this straight. I have to go, down to a stinky-ass sewer, just to get through and find an Outlaw?" Umi leaned up to the counter, staring in to the clerk's olive-green eyes. "Precisely," the clerk nodded. Umi's eyes drooped down, diverting the clerk's gaze now.
"No worries. You'll be fine with me," Stranger said, putting his hand on her back comfortingly. She didn't care if she was with Stranger, she just hated sewers, period. They followed out the Bounty store, searching for the sewer boy. They asked around town, but the Clakkers only rudely complied. They walked up to the sewer boy near the Sewer Treatment plant gate. And when the clerk meant he stunk, damn did he mean it! Umi cringged at the Clakker, but tried to keep a poker face on so she wouldn't hurt the Clakker.
"Hey, sewer boy. Can yeh, open the sewer gates here? I need's teh, get through," Stranger tipped the brim of his hat respectfully.
"Oky-dokey. Go on through," the sewer boy pulled back a lever to the sewer gates, which opened screechily. Inside was only a rope tied to the roof, but leading down lower in to the sewers. Umi climbed on Stranger's back, while he slided down the rope and landed on the bottom. There was an opening pipe right in front of them, leading out to a dock with the sewer waters churning with rudders pushing the water up to the ramp.
"Those currents are too stong to swim through," Stranger said to himself. He saw another sewer worker behind a glass room, stting inside and reading "The 10 things Clakkers do mindlessly" Stranger banged on the glass, which made the Clakker jump out of it's seat, and crash on the ground, clucking to itself and Stranger angrily. "Hey! Can yeh, shut off them damn rudders?" Stranger said impatiently. The Clakker had a mind or two to ignore the stranger's request, but it knew that the stranger was a tough bounty hunter with a short temper.
"Oh, alright! Don't get yer boxers in to a bunch!" the Clakker whined angrily, switching off the rudders spinning. The spinners slowed down to a stop then sank down in to the water. Umi had a question that was totally unacceptible to ask, but did it anyways.
"How d'you know he's wearin' boxers?" Umi raised a brow in suspicion. Stranger dared to ask as well.
"How D'YOU know I'm wearin' boxers?" Stranger challenged with a smile on his face. Umi choked on her words, then looked down when she couldn't answer. He just chuckled, then walked dow the ramp to the waters. It was murky and sludgy with little green things floating above water. She didn't even want to know what it was. Stranger looked down on the water's surface, then jumped on it. He resurfaced, looking at Umi and beckoning her to come in. Umi's nose crinckled and grunted in disgust.
"C'mon, Umi. The water's fine," Stranger joked, doing a back-stroke persuadingly. Umi sighed heavily, then bent down to the edge of the ramp. She wanted to reconsider, but Stranger wouldn't give up on the bounty if she didn't want to go with him. So, she just dove on in, swimming closer to Stranger swiftly. She broke the surface, gasping in a deep breath, and wiping her face off of the nasty water. Stranger smiled playfully, but Umi didn't get it. He dove back under, she having a hard time seeing him going deeper under the dark waters. She didn't notice anything, until she felt a force pull her under. She took a breath, and then was pulled under. Stranger was still smiling under the water, and Umi's brow furrowed angrily, shoving Stranger aside from her. They pushed off the bottom, nearly jumping out of the water. Umi glared at Stranger.
"That wasn't funny," Umi coughed. Stranger laughed. "Really? I thought it was," Stranger said, rubbing her head, and then pushed off the wall of the ramp, under the entry way to the sewer. Umi followed behind, paddling her legs slowly, and gazing around. When they passed through the entry way, she was amazed at what the sewers looked of. It wasn't the type of sewer pipe sewers Umi usually saw. It was like an enormous mansion, but above were rusted pipes winding above their heads, and there was a slight light far above the pipes as well. The sewers were dark, but lit torches helped the sewers seem lighter, but made it a dark ghostly-purplish color, and eerie sounds echoed down like chain rattling and barking...Barking? Stranger recognized the barks. He has heard it out near the Mongo River when he was setting up a trap for Blisterz Booty. He grunted ominously.
"Slegs," Stranger growled. Umi looked up to him, stopping with him.
"Huh? What's a Sleg?" Umi asked. "Nasty lil' varmins. But they couldnt of gotten down 'ere alone," Stranger said, looking up and listening closely to where the barking was coming from. He also heard something different than Slegs, but he couldn't make it out. There was a ramp leading out of the water and up to another rope, leading up to a higher platform. Umi and Stranger got out of the water, she wringing out the water in her shirt of nasty water. When she was done, she climbed up again on Stranger's, back and they climbed up the rope to the platform. They found their barking.
A hoarde of two-legged tusk-barring Slegs, running around mindlessly. They weren't wild Slegs, for they had grey fur with darker grey stripes and a large snout. Umi gazed at the Slegs in disgust. She's never seen a weirder creature, other than Clakkers and Stranger. Stranger unlocked his bow, loading up with Fuzzles, and aimed at the closest Sleg he could find. The Fuzzle glared and growled ominously at Stranger, barring it's pearly-white teeth. Stranger ignored the Fuzzle, then launched it right at the Slegs. The Fuzzle impacted the floor, then grappled on the closest Sleg that stepped on it. Then, it chomped down on the Sleg's fur and flesh. The Sleg let out a heart-breaking whine, and ran around, violently shaking it's head to rip off the Fuzzle. The Slegs saw where the Fuzzle came from, and began to bark up at Stranger. He letted more Fuzzles go on the other Slegs one by one. Then, all the Slegs were running around, and some even fell off the platform in to the water. The poor things couldn't swim, even though they were flailing their legs to keep up, but their upper bodies were too heavy. So to make things short, even though you probably understand, they sank like a rock. A slight drop was to get to the other platform, and lead them higher up to another platform by a rope. Stranger slid across, and loped to the rope. They climbed up higher, then yet another rope led up to a tunnel. Stranger slid down the half-cut cement slide, and jumped to the rope, grappling it and snatching Umi's arm along. They climbed on up, and entered through the tunnel. Stunkz at a turn roamed around the tunnel. She thought that the dark sewers of Buzzarton was dark and stinky enough to let Stunkz roma around without a care. The tunnel led out to a metal platform, dropping down to a fence-off Sleg pen with two poorly-barricaded shredder fans, easily to be broken through. Stranger's bow was still unlocked and still up with Fuzzles. He first broke the fencing around the shredder fans with uncharged Zapp flies, so the Slegs would fall in. Then, he letted go the Fuzzles on to the Slegs. While the Slegs were busy with the Fuzzles, Stranger and Umi jumped down in to the pen, and passed the pained Slegs. They broke through the fencing to another metal pathway, but Slegs kept on that side, and they ran down towards Stranger. He couldn't keep off the Slegs with Fuzzles. He was running low on them. Stranger was thinking of another way to get rid of these parasites, then turned down to Umi.
"Blow 'em up," Stranger said. Umi looked up to him in confusion. "What'cha mean?" Umi raised her brow. Stranger was pointing at her Needler. "With that pink, needle...thingy. Use that on the Slegs," Stranger said with hesitation. Umi de-strapped her Needler, then looked up to Stranger again in assurance. "But, you said not to use my Needler any more," Umi shrugged. "Well, I give's yeh permission. Now hurry," Stranger said more impatiently, as he looked at the Slegs coming closer. Umi nodded, looking at the Slegs. She aimed for the head Sleg, and fired a few needles to blow it's small body up. She moved up while blowing the Slegs up. They ran through the blood-slick stone walkway up to a long ramp that led to another rope dangling up to another stone walkway, but with Slegs awaiting their arrival. Umi decided to go up first, even though she wasn't exactly good enough to climb up a rope. Seh remembered failing the rope climb in gym class. But Stranger below held her up as she climbed up, and held her Needler out to the Slegs. When she finished with that, she jumped off of Stranger's hand and up to the stone walkway. There were wooden crates at the turn up to a entry way to another part of the sewers. Nothing suspicious, as Umi crept closer passed the crates. But what she didn't expect was that there were Slegs concealed in those crates. When they heard even the slightest of footsteps, they cracked through the crates. Umi jumped at the Sleg's ambush, as they bit on to Umi's clothes and tugged down hard to bring her down. Stranger frantically but calmly loaded on Thund slugs, and knocked away the Slegs ripping at her clothes. No serious damage was happened to her, but her clothes were all slobbery. She groaned in disgust.
"I now want to dive in to that water down there again, than having nasty dog drool on my clothes," Umi frowned. Stranger only chuckled, patting her shoulder. They followed through the entry way, where Bolamites crawled around and spun webs in the corners. Stranger stopped Umi immediately, listening around the bend. He knew it. He knew something suspicious about the Slegs running around here. He could hear the low rumble of voices talking to each other. Minions.
He loaded up only two Bolamites, then crept along the wall of the bend. He peeked over the edge, seeing two Shooter minions at the end of the ramp down. He turned his bow around the bend, and then shot at the Shooters with the Bolamites. They were wrapped down in ghost-white webbing, they struggling and grumbling in their intrapment. Stranger quickly bountied up the minions, then heard more of the outlaws inside a the sewer, standing upon weak wooden walkways that were attached to metal planks. Below one of the metal planks were very noticeable barrels Stranger smiled to: Explosives. And he had just the thing to put them out in to the water. He loaded on a Boom-bat on one launcher, which gibbered incoherantly at Stranger. He aimed for the orange barrel, and then launched the Boom-bat, which homned in on it. The Boom-bat left with one second's fuse, then exploded throughout excitement, and along with it, the barrels exploded along with as well. The minions felt a quick rumble under it's feet, then a burn then a slight drop. Most of them fell in to the water, but some died from explosion. Stranger jumped out in to the water again, then climbed up to the metal planks to get the other living minions. Umi followed behind again, leading up on the planks, and following Stranger. She caught a minion behind her, which Stranger had forgotten, reloading it's rifle. Umi's eyes widened, and she took off her Plasma Rifle. But she was a second too late. The Shooter shot off first, and shot right on to her arm with her rifle. She hissed in pain, dropping her rifle and herself on to the metal planks. The minion jeered loudy, aiming at Umi's head. Stranger heard her hissing,and spun around. The minion was pulling the trigger. Stranger dropped the minion he held up in to the water, then fired his last Thud slug to the Shooter. The Thud slug smashed in to the Shooter's gut, knocking it flat out in to the water. Umi dug in to her skin and flicked the bullet out of her wound. The muscle around the wound tightened, but her skin became tender. She didn't bother with it any more, and turned to Stranger with a smile of gratitude.
"Don't need's to say it," Stranger silenced her, putting a finger on her lips. She just nodded, rubbing his finger affectionately. He walked along the metal planks, and carefully across the weak wooden walkways, bountying the outlaws while they went.The walkway turned in to a giant broken puzzle, with all the wooden planks blown clear off the metal walkway. The end led through a pipe to three larger pipes. Two were blocked off with metal building sticks, but the other was wide open, leading out to sunlight and fresh air. Umi immediately ran out, gasping in deep the air.
Damn, am I happy to see this Umi opened her eyes. Stranger just walked out of the sewers and in to a small stream of clean water spilling out of the pipe. Reeds grew on the sides of where the stream of water came out. Chippunks and Stunkz roamed around the reeds. A crane was near the stream as well, but there was also an open shaft further away from the crane, through a narrow passage. And what was in that shaft? A Sniper outlaw, like always. A couple Shooter minions also stood in front of the reeds, chatting about Jo Mamma. Stranger and Umi slipped in to the reeds, listening to their mindless gibber of who's the best to the Outlaw.
Mamma like me the best one Shooter said. Nu-uh She likes me more the other shouted back. Stranger loaded on his bow two Bolamites, but didn't use a Chippunk. They were close enough to capture with Bolamites. He shot the Bolamite at the first one to speak, just to surprise the other Shooter. The Shooter next to him did get surprised, as he looked back to the reeds. The other Bolamite stuck to it's mouth, then wrapped around it's body. He jumped out of the reeds, and sucked up the outlaws. The Sniper caught Stranger bountying the minions, and lit it's rifle. It chuckled maliciously, then the light hit the fuse's end, and he pulled the trigger. A red stream of smoke whizzed passed Stranger's arm. Very close-call. He side-stepped behind the crane, zooming in on his snooper/sniper scope and loading up his five Snuzi darts in his scope. The Snuzi dart shot in to the Sniper's chest, a one-hit KO. He heard a booming voice come around the passage. Black spikey armor shone off from the sun's light. A Nailer came around the passage, seeing Stranger's head poked out from shooting the Snuzi. It roared, raising it's arm to bare out it's spiked knuckles. Stranger held down in his hand a Stuknz, secretly. When the Nailer got close enough, he threw down the Stunkz in front of the Nailer. It first kept running, then snorted and slowed down. It's eyes teared slightly, then the Nailer gagged. It covered it's mouth with both hands, then turned away from Stranger and barfed on the ground. Stranger smiled, then gave the Nailer a boot in the ass. The Nailer grunted as it thudded to the ground, but kept vomiting. He bountied the Nailer, and Umi walked up behind him, looking down in disgust.
That smell is nastier than the sewers, Umi covered her nose. Sorry, Stranger said, rubbing her neck affectionately. She still had her nose crinkled, but nodded as he massaged her neck. They walked through the passage, and found a tunnel leading down. At the end was the shipwreck, what the clerk was talking about. There was a sslope leading above a smasher being controlled by the Outlaw: Jo Mamma. The ship was two broken halves, and both sides were below the dirt. There was also a half-cut pipe in front of the exit they jumped down from. They could hear Jo Mamma's voice speak through an intercom. It sounded of an old lady with a crackily voice.
Ok. Can everyone hear me? Jo Mamma yelled through the microphone. No answers. Good Now, get yer ass's on work excavatin' that ship. And if anyone gets in yer way, we'll make 'em regret it Jo Mamma threatened. She knew someone was going to come for her. They first stocked on Fuzzles, because Stranger was flat out. Then, they hid inside the half-cut pipe in front of them. He layed down some Fuzzles as a trap, and baited a Shooter or two to the Fuzzles. They ran on the outside of the pipe, and waited until the minions were in to the trap. Then, he flashed by them and hid under the ship, seeing two Nailers far right near a lift that didn't move. Shooters were on a balcony guarding a door that led under where Jo Mamma was. The lift headed up level-wise to Jo Mamma and the crane station. There was also a new kind of minion they haven't seen before, to Umi at least. It wore a blue vest, and had mechanical arms and legs. It wore also red-yellow goggles over it's eyes, and held what seemed a semi-automatic machine gun. It was near the Nailers, above them in an open shaft. This was going to be a slight challenge. And Stranger loved that. He locked in a Stunkz and a few Fuzzles, and let the Fuzzles out to the Nailers. The minions saw the fuzzles fly overhead of them, and land on to the Nailers, knocking them down backwards. The Fuzzles dug down in to their armor, biting them on the inside, which they frantically tore off their armor to scrape off the Fuzzles. But they had some difficulty. The minions looked to the source where the Fuzzles flew from, under the shipwreck. Stranger saw two Shooters and the Semi-auto run towards him.
Good, Stranger purred low. He pushed back Umi so she wouldn't get caught by the smell of the Stunkz. The minions were at the entrance to under the ship. His eye sparkled, then he launched the Stunk right in front of him. The minions stopped immediately, and they hunched down, gagging and muffling curses towards Stranger. He knocked down the minions one by one, throwing them in to the ship. Umi made sure they stayed down as he threw them in. He bountied them up quickly, before he heard Jo Mamma's voice yell at her minoins: He's under the ship Get 'im out now He pulled Umi from under the ship, and above ground. He climbed up the slant side of the ship, seeing the minions on the balcony jumping down and running to under the ship. One of the Nailers survived the Fuzzles, attaching it's armor back to himself. Jo Mamma was still above the balcony, watching below for him and his partner.
We got's to, get them outlaws first Stranger said.
How about I get the outlaws, and you get Jo Mamma? Umi suggested, but Stranger shook his head. No, I'll need yer help, Stranger objected. She searched through him, wondering what he was thinking. Well, how 'bout we plow through those outlaws, then head up to Jo Mamma on that lift? Umi suggested again. Stranger looked down at her with a grin. That's what I was thinkin'. How'd you know? Stranger said. Umi only shrugged. But what made harder options was the mass of on going outlaws came to the ship. It was mass suicide if they wanted to continue with their plan. But while thinking of another plan of action, Jo Mamma looked over to the slant part of ship. She caught a glimps of Umi's blue vest. Her mouth opened, then growled.
They're above where you are, morons Get them Jo Mamma roared. The minions below growled, flowing out from under the ship. Umi moved uneasily, watching every side of the shipwreck with her Plasma Rifle up. Stranger had loaded up on Boom-bats and Stunkz. A Shooter minion crawled up on Umi's side, and she squealed. She slammed her Plasma Rifle in to the minion's skull, which made it release it's grip on the ship, and tumble in to more of the minions below. Stranger leaped on his side of the ship, and launched the Boom-bat on to a Shredder's head. His minions fell over, some dead and more unconscious. They advanced slowly through the minions falling back, towards the lift to the roof. It moved slowly down to their position, and they jumped on. Stranger continued to shoot down more outlaws, as they moved slowly up. The only thing that led over to Jo Mamma was a tight metal rope, leading over a steep roof back down to the ground. The only problem was an electrical current ran through the rope. Purple sparks could be oblivious, and that's how they knew. Stranger saw an outlet that the current ran through to the rope. He loaded on a Zapp Fly, and aimed to the outlet.
You get the outlet, and I'll cross over to get Jo Mamma, Umi got in to a pose that was about to jump to the rope. But before Stranger could stop himself and reply to Umi's plan, the Zapp Fly was shot, and the current was cut off. Umi jumped high up on the rope, and crossed over swiftly. So fast, that Stranger couldn't stop her.
Umi Get yer ass back 'ere Stranger growled. Umi ignored him, still crossing over. Jo Mamma rushed out of her station, and over to a button that ran up to the outlet. She knew it would activate the current again. Umi gasped, and swung her legs and released the rope, and landed on the other side. Fortunately, she got over before the current got on again. Jo Mamma turned to Umi in surprise, then her face scrunched down in to a devilish grin.
Well If it ain't the human Doc's got a pretty penny on you Jo Mamma cackled in a raspy voice, reaching in to her blouse. Now, we can go the easy way, Jo Mamma said pursuadingly, or I'm a have to take you, the hard way she had a knife in her hand from her blouse. Umi's eyes opened a little more, she leaning back from Jo Mamma. Minions surrounded her sides, especially a Nailer behind her. The Nailer wrapped it's arms around Umi in to a bundle, it tightening it's grip around Umi as she struggled from it's arms. Jo Mamma only laughed. Take's her inside I'm a call in Doc, fer a lil' talk Jo Mamma dismissed her minions. Umi secretly had a malicious grin on her face, under her waterfalls of hair, as the minions took her below the crane box, and inside the facility. Stranger was hidden behind a cement barrier, out of range from Jo Mamma's sight. He growled furiously, as he watched Umi being pulled under and in to the facility. Jo Mamma was back in to her control box, dialing up on a two-piece phone. He had to kill the charge of the rope once again. He loaded on another Zapp Fly, and shot it to the outlet. The purple sparks stopped, and he was free to cross over. He landed muffling his boots jangle, and crept quietly behind Jo Mamma. She was jabbering away in to her phone, not even noticing Stranger's presence.
Yeah I got's the human, and you's better have my moolah ready Mhm...yup...I'll send's it to yeh if you's wants me to Jo Mamma continued her conversation. She chuckled, her eye at her corner. She spun around, her mouth wide open. Ya didn't think I fergot's 'bout you, now did I ? she yelled, pointing one fat finger up to Stranger. He knew alright, and shot a Bolamite at her ankles. He tripped her down, but she scrambled to the webbing at her legs to rip it off. He then shot another Bolamite at her wrists, stopping her from getting the webs at her legs. He pressed her down with a boot, leaning to her face with a slight smile on.
Nah. Actually, I didn't, he said gruffly. Damn you, Stranger My boys are gonna send yer human pet, all the way to Doc's office Jo Mamma told quite loudly. He leaned closer to her face, baring his stained fangs angrily. Don't you even CALL Umi, my pet, he growled ominously. Jo Mamma tried to keep a poker face on. The last thing he did was launch a Thud slug right in to her face, and a chilling snap came from her mouth. Her jaw was shattered from the Thud slug, knocking her out cold. But he didn't bounty her...yet. Instead, he traveled down in to the facility he stood above.

You dirty bastards Lem'e out Umi violently shook the metal cage bars of her cell. But all the minions chuckled at her demise.
Careful, cutie. Don't wanna wreck that purdy face o' yers, a Shooter said suavely but sarcastically, rubbing her chin in a funny way which made the others laughed harder. Her anger flared deeper inside herself, restraining herself from biting off the minion's finger. Ahh, that human ain't goin' nowhere. It's all ours 'till Mamma says to ship 'er off, the Nailer said. She bared her teeth, while looking at every minion furiously.
Stranger looked over the doorway, him frowning angrily at the minion's actions to Umi. He loaded up on a Chippunk, which chattered quietly, and a few Fuzzles. He started on the Chippunk, who jabbered rudely at the minions. One Shooter looked over to the Chippunk, and the others muttering loudly.
How the hell did one of those things get in 'ere? the minion said, walking over curiously. Stranger they layed Fuzzles down behind the Chippunk, as it backed away, and scampered away from Stranger. He hid in to the shadows, awaiting the Fuzzles to attack. Eh, that damn thing got away, the Shooter turned the corner. But what it didn't see was the Fuzzles at it's feet. It heard the growling, but didn't have time to look down at the Fuzzles before they attacked it. The other minions inside chattered in alert, running over to the Shooter as it wailed around. Some of the minions were left behind, as she snatched a Shredder with the keys to her cell, and knocked it out, swiping the keys with it. She frantically unlocked the cell, and the door swung open slowly. The minions turned to the cell door, but stood in shock. Umi's eyes were shadowed, as she brushed away her hair from her eyes, walking out towards the minions. The minions backed away, holding their weapons to their faces. They knew she was pissed, VERY pissed. Her face scrunched in to the most devilish face, even the devil himself would be firghtened of. Her eyes flamed with anger, she still baring her teeth. Stranger knew this was going to get ugly, so he continued to watch.
LOCK ME IN A CELL, WOULD YA ? Umi screamed, reaching at a minion by the neck, and tossing it against the wall. The other minions cringed in fear. Umi only roared, when she dove in to the minions, and took them out one, by one, by one, and the last one. She held it up by the collar of it's shirt, only looking fiercely in to it's fearful eyes. She cooled down slightly, having a smile in her corner.
Careful. Don't wanna wreck that purdy face of yer's, Umi said what it said before, but more...meaner. She curled her hand in to a fist, and SLAMMED the poor minion in to the face, knocking it and making it fly straight in to the walls. Stranger was very surprised to see such a young human, take care of nearly a dozen minions, all by herself. He was more than impressed. He trotted out, looking around at all the moaning minions around the darkened room. Umi was brushing her hair back, when she spotted Stranger with a great smile on his face.
You cool now? Stranger put his hands on his hips. Umi merely shrugged. Maybe a few more outlaws, then I may be stable, Umi joked. Stranger chuckled, ruffling her hair affectionately. So...how's about you bounty these bad boys before they get up. Or, would you rather me doing round two with these guys? Umi raised a brow. Stranger laughed, walking around and boutying the outlaws. They headed top-side, where Umi saw Jo Mamma, laying with her jaw askewed to one side akwardly.
What'cha do to 'er? Umi looked up to Stranger. Made her shut up, Stranger smiled, his stained sharp teeth showing with. Umi looked back down to Jo Mamma with a confused grin, then only shrugged. He bountied her up, feeling more satisfied. Can say, you did a purdy good job down 'ere, with them outlaws, Stranger perched his hand on her back. Yeah. Now...the question is...how the hell do we get down from here? Umi leaned over a metal fence, looking down at the ground below. Stranger didn't comment, but scooped her up in his arms, and slid down the steep roof below the metal rope. He landed with knees bent, and the looked down at Umi's face.
That's how we get down, Stranger nodded. Umi sighed irritatingly. Smart-ass, Umi swatted Stranger soflty on his head. He laughed, still holding Umi in his arms, and walking through an open way under the roof. She knew that they were becoming more closer to each other, more than friends. Their bond just growing a little more tighter.
