"I was planning on sleeping in the captain's chair." Flynn smiled as Alyson rested her hand on his knee. He got and went to the fridge. He pulled out two bottles of water. He opened them both and handed one to Alyson. He took a swig from his as he sat back down. Alyson again put her hand back on his knee. He wouldn't admit it right now, but he enjoyed having her touch him. They went back to talking. Flynn laughed a little when she apologized for kicking his ass. "You just caught me off guard." He grinned and winked at her.

He took another sip of water as she talked about where they were going. "Sounds all nice and homey." He said. They sat and talked for awhile longer. The longer they talked the more Flynn saw that she was an alright person. It was almost as if her locking him up had never happened. After awhile he saw Alyson's eyes getting heavy. "I think it's been plenty of time." He went to check her injury and didn't know when it happened, but they were holding hands. He looked under the gauze and the bleeding had stopped. The slowly unwrapped her head and threw away the gauze. He took off the two discs and placed them on the table.

He softly patted her on the cheek. "Looks like you'll be okay doll." Flynn said looking down at her. "Go ahead and go to sleep. I'll be up in the captain's chair making sure we're not being followed." He stretched and walked into the cock-pit. He sat down in the chair. "Anything to report VIC?" Flynn asked, yawning. "Nothing." VIC replied. "Good." Flynn replied, leaning back and closing his eyes. As he started to drift to sleep VIC chimed in. "In coming secure message." Flynn opened his eyes. "From who?" Flynn asked. "Unknown." VIC replied. "Of course." Flynn replied. He reached and grabbed his ear piece off the console and told VIC to bring the message up.

"Hello Mr. Taggart." A voice began. "Who is..." Flynn started. "Please do not talk. I know she is on board and we wouldn't want her to hear this conversation." Flynn felt a pit in his stomach form. The voice continued: "I'm the one that first gave you the bounty. By now you probably have an idea who I am. So I'll dispense with the pleasantries. You have my bounty and I want her in my custody. If you bring her to me, I will give you four times the amount of the original bounty." Flynn started to object, but the voice cut him off. "Don't answer now. You have one week to decide. If I do not hear from you in a week, I have sent a small tracking virus to your AI. It will activate itself and I will come after the both of you. Don't try and find the virus code. I'm pretty sure your AI is so old that most of it's code is a jumbled mess. You have one week Mr. Taggart." The message ended.

Flynn stood up and walked back to where Alyson slept. He sat in the chair near the couch that still faced her. He softly brushed the hair out of her face as she slept. "Goddammit Flynn. What have you gotten yourself into?

I'm gonna catch you! ( Peachperfect and Nyther)

Good. I drank too much last night and was asleep by 9pm. I've got a little work to do later, but I've just been relaxing and being lazy.
What about you?

"Hey there." Miles said as she opened the door. He gave her a hug as he walked into her dorm. He noticed she smelt really good. As she closed the door behind him he looked around the dorm. It looked similar to his, except he only saw one bedroom. "No roommate. Must be nice." He said sitting down on the couch. "My roommate is from New York. He's an okay guy, but I'd rather have the dorm to myself." Karah asked him if he wanted anything to drink. "Soda if you've got it. As long as it's not diet." Miles replied. As she brought him a soda and he took a sip, he noticed music in the background.

"Who is this?" Miles asked. Motioning in the air. "Music I mean. I really only listen to classic rock, but this is alright." He watched as Karah sat down next to him. He took another sip of his drink and set it down. He was trying to push his nervousness down. "So, I'm glad you seem in a better mood from earlier. That girl sounded like she was still stuck in high school. She'll learn soon that life isn't a popularity contest." Miles nervously rubbed the back of his neck. "I guess we ought to get the generic small talk out of the way first." Miles smiled.

"I'm from Thermopolis Wyoming. It's a fairly small ranching town about a mile outside of Yellowstone. Our ranch is mainly for breeding work horses, but we have a few goats and other random animals out there. Growing up I was always around animals, and I saw how much my dad would have to pay the vet every time we took one of the horses in. So I figured become a vet myself so I could take care of the animals myself." Ashe finished, Miles took another drink. He was worried he may be boring Karah, but she seemed to be listening intently. "So," Miles started, putting down his drink. "What about you? Where are you from and what bring you out to Nevada?" He was trying his best to keep eye contact with her, but his eyes kept wandering to her tattoos.

As Alyson punched in the coordinates and the ship slipped into warp, Flynn held his breath. Most bounty hunters were just old war vets like him. Most, however, just indiscriminately killed. They thought their bounty license made them above the law. For a more minutes he waited. After a few more minutes Flynn relaxed, but only just. If they didn't find a body down there, they might come after them. Though they'd probably go after the other ships that left the planet first. As Alyson stood up and walked back to the other cabin, Flynn followed. She sat down holding her head. She began to look pale. Her injury must have been deeper than they originally thought.

Flynn gently took Alyson's face in his hands and slowly pulled her head so he could get a look at the injury. Flynn chortled as Alyson told him not to look at her. "You've seen me naked. This is nothing." Flynn retorted. "That's a nasty gash. Sit here, I'll be right back." He hopped off the couch and went into the cock-pit. He reached in a drawer and pulled out two small white discs. They looked like paper punches. He went back to the other cabin and opened a large cabinet next to the couch and pulled out some gauze. He grabbed a pillow and folded it. He put in on the edge of the couch and instructed Alyson to lay down with her head on the pillow. It would elevate her head and slow the bleeding. He took one of the discs, peeled off the self adhesive and put in on her throat, right over the jugular vein. The other one he put on her temple and used the gauze to keep it in place and cover her wound.

"VIC." Flynn said as he finished wrapping her head. "Keep an eye on heart and brain activity." VIC chimed back "Yes Flynn." With that he pulled a chair up right next to the couch and faced Alyson. "That couch is the bed." Flynn started. "But you're gonna need to stay awake for awhile to make sure you don't have any brain damage. Other than the normal amount you already have." Flynn laughed at his own joke. Being back in his ship had brought him back to his old self. With a slight bit of compassion now included. "So, to keep you awake let's talk for a bit. We can start with how you've already been on this ship once before, but not as yourself."

"Flynn, subject's heart rate has increased."VIC chimed in. Flynn smiled. "Thank you VIC, but just alert me when they're at dangerous levels." Flynn said. "Understood." Was VIC's reply. "Now then." Flynn started back. "We were both trying to do our jobs. Mine was catching you and yours was not being caught. So, let's consider that over and done with." Flynn leaned forward and put his elbows on his knees. "I did feel bad for what I did. I am sorry. Just so you know, that thing you said about that skin making you feel pretty. You don't need it." Flynn smiled slightly. "So where exactly are we going? Or is that a 'need to know basis'?" Flynn smirked.
