Ms Haven leads them cautiously up the stares she holds out her hand for quiet. There is the sound of foot steps above them.
The foot steps descend towards them. A figure round the corner, his long coat
flowing out behind him. He turns and smiles at them.
"He's upstairs. " Intruder states to them, completely ignoring the
weaponry pointing at him. "Try not to make too much of a mess. I don't
mind repainting the place, but I really don't want to have to rebuild any walls."
Ms Haven lifts her gun. "Ok." She responds.
"You mean you are not going to defend him or anything?" Rich asks
obviously confused.
"Well." Intruder takes a deep breath. "I thought about it for
a bit, but then I figured he's a bastard and he deserves every thing he is going
to get." He smiles. "Besides, I feel like a walk in the sun. Its been
such a long time." He grins at Ms Haven. "And I feel lucky to day.
May be I'll find some one nice to share dinner with." He looks pointedly
at Rich and then back to Ms Haven. "Some one who isn't already attached."
She smiles at him, catching the private joke.
Intruder steps past her, then he drops his hand on Rich's shoulder. "You
have a fine lady there my good man, make sure you remember that."
Rich nods. "I will."
He steps past and then stops at Ray. He looks at her curiously, obviously confused
that he doesn't know her.
"I'm from way out of town." She responds.
"Ahh." He replies. "So was I once." Then he smiles. "But
I think this place is about to make a turn for the better, so I might stick
around."
She nods. "Couldn't hurt."
He smiles. "I'd stay and chat, but he is waiting for you, and I'm not so
much of a bastard to drag out his torment. Still he probably is no where near
as hard as he use to be. You shouldn't have to much trouble with him."
"Ta." Ray responds.
"I'll see you around may be Rich." Intruder calls as he head on down
to street level. "Meet you in the pit, I'll buy the two of you dinner?"
"Err... Ok...." Rich responds.
Ms Haven grins at him. "He has a really good taste in wine."
Rich frowns. "I doubt if I want to know how you know."
Ray suddenly looks up. "Feel that?"
Rich shudders as a shiver runs up his spine.. "I....." He frowns confused
by the sensation he is feeling. A feeling of flux and of life, not totally unfamiliar
but nothing he has ever felt on Mort.
"That was the reality wave. We are in Planet Andi now." She explains.
Rich smiles at Ms Haven.. "It feels like...." He struggles for the
words.
"Love?" She offers.
"Yeah." He admits. He smiles at her.
She leans down placing a kiss on his fore head.
"We should get going, hit Slayer whilst he is still disorientated."
Ray prompts softly. She checks the weapon she is holding purposefully.
"Yes." Rich shakes himself. As much as he would love to spend the
next few hours just holding Ms Haven, he has a job to do. He takes a deep breath.
"Lets go."
