Virtual Firefly Book continues 3 by Colt999

*listens through Abbey's tirade, growing more and more irked with every word that gets past her lips*

Abbey: ...and that's why you will never EVER get those filthy meat hooks of yours anywhere near my belongings again. Am I making myself clear?

*speeds up and quickly distances himself from Abbey*

Who the hell does she think she is, talkin' to me like I'm a third grader or sum'tin...

*heads for the bonfire*

*plunks himself on a pile of rocks a stone's throw away from the blaze, seething with wrath and scowling something fierce*

Girl's lucky the captain's taken a liking for her...

*picks up a branch, aiming to cook himself a few fluffballs to alleviate his mood, but snaps it*

BTW.. who is cooking and what are we having?

*Brit smiles as she hops up and goes inside of the ship. She comes out with packages of fresh veggies*
I... *coughs*borrowed these from a merchant on Aquila. I asked politely but he told me no. There's a large bump on his head now and he's just awaken from unconsciousness.

*smiles despite the odd details of her story. She takes a few sticks and slides the vegetables on them, making cabobs.*

Vegetables are good for your eyesight and lungs. Especially the green and yellow ones.

*finishes cooking a cabob over the fire and holds it up*

One's done.

*continues to cook more for everyone*

* I take two of Brit's cabobs into the Book. I peak into the Galley*

Abbey?

*I head up to her shuttle. She has a curtain strung across the doorway. I start to push it a side then stop. I knock on the door frame*

*Abbey: Just a minute.

*I lean against the door frame and wait. I can hear the music coming from the campfire. I make a mental note to point out to Sky that some of my skittle brained crew has talent.*

*Then I hear a squish on the floor. Gorramit some of the cabobs slid off. I bend down and scoop up the mess. *Ah thats hot* I spill the rest of the cabob and most of the other on the catwalk.*

*I start tossing the veggies off the catwalk, When I get to the last one the curtain opens.*

*Abbey: Were you trying to peek in my shuttle! What is wrong with you?*

I wasn't peeking I was....I brought you something to eat. *I hold up the cabob sticks. Only one little tomato remains* You got some nerve lady. Peeking into your shuttle..right.

*She grabs the cabob and yells: Well I suppose I should be grateful since you went out of your way. *waving the one veggie in my face*

There were more! They fell off while you had me waiting out here. What took you so long anyway?

*Then I finally get a good look at her face. Shes been crying*

Oh..I'm sorry. Didn't mean...I wasn't trying to disturb you. I just, well never mind. There's more grub by the fire. If you want.

*Abbey leans over the rail and see the mess of veggies below*

*Abbey: Oh..I shouldnt have...I didn't mean to insisuate that you... I'm sorry too.*

Well ok then. Come back down if you like.

*After awhile, abbey emerges from the ship holding something in her hand that is wrapped in a napkin. She finds the Captain and pulls him a couple of feet away from the festivities*

abbey: I just want to apologize again. I was a little sensitive at the time.

Colt: Me too *realizes the connotation of what he said* Not sensitive... Just sorry...

*She pulls his hand up and puts the napkin-wrapped item in his hand.*

abbey: It's a peace offering. During that drinking bender in the galley, Sky told me you liked then. I got these at a store on Londinium that specializes in them.

*Colt cautiously opens napkin and looks in. He looks back at abbey with a cocked eyebrow.*

abbey *defensively*: That's the way they come!

Colt *caught off guard*: Of course. They come that way...

abbey: I would probably keep this to yourself. *leans in and whispers* You have no idea what this crew talks about.

*Colt pops the gift into his mouth and closes his eyes in delight.*

Colt: It's good... No... More than good. *opens eyes to look at hers* Really tasty... Thanks.

LT: She's coming along. I see your crew is doing well.

*Sky comes up and whispers something to me. I see most of the crew trying and failing to control their laughter.*

Oh yeah there a fine bunch. You want em?

*LT just laughs*

Hover type huh? Whats the weight capacity?

LT: Over a ton with driver. Have to offset load for passengers. Can't handle the load of that tank you call a mule, but it's quicker and quieter.

*The sounds of snickering comes from the campfire. I turn and most of the crew looks away, 'cept Brit who makes a heart shape in the air with her hands*

Might a noticed, my crew ain't big on quite. I feel like a drink. You want a drink?

LT: Sure * he heads towards the fire*

Wait. Your mule empty?

LT: Yeah

Lets head to town. Mobbex, Spots, Padre. We're heading into town wanna come?

*Mobbex walks by and starts to climb on the Mule* Hearts

You gonna be mentioning that all night you can stay here.

Mobbex: I ain't! *under his breath* Not all night.

Spots: What are we going for?

Drink

Spots: Don't we have that here?

In or out Spots

Spots: Ok *climbs aboard*

Padre?

Invictus: I think I'll stay here keep an eye on the boat. Maybe the ladies would like to accompany you?

They might, but they ain't. They can use the Mule and find their own drink if they want.

*I load up next to LT*

How far is town anyway?

LT: About 5 miles. Why did you land way our here?

I'll tell you over that drink

abbey: I have 5th Graders for ship mates.

*Back on the Independence:
Dashile could sense something was coming, and some people. She recalled the Captain's invitation to meet female crew members from the Book. The idea intrigued her. Female company would do her good she suspected. She felt herself appropriately dressed for an evening out, a simple shift dress and her boots... shoes were generally required...

Before leaving she finds Larry on the bridge.
Dash: "I fixed your thrust switch, it shouldn't stick anymore, I'm going to meet some women, I'll be back."

*Larry tests the switch,
Larry: "Thanks Dash. Be careful out there, LT's not far if you run into trouble."

*Dashi could sense LT. Not far from the saloon was she saw the mule with the shark and scroll. Around a table she saw a girl with dark eyes, a blond woman, a doctor with glasses, and an intimidating looking woman. She moved the table:

The blond woman: "Dash is it? LT told us you might be joining us, have a seat, we just arrived."

*Dash nods and sits.
The intimidating one: "Name's sky, I'm first mate on the Book."
The doctor: "I'm Oram, and this over here is..."

The dark eyed one: "Brit."
*Brit faces the blond.
Brit: "And that's Abbey, our Mrs. Colt."

*Abbey flushes a red, her eyes filled with frustration. Oram sprays her drink across the table, laughing heartily. Dash looks at Abbey, absolutely straight-faced:

Dashi: "They do not all come that way."

*At this the entire table erupts into laughter except for Abbey, who has now changed from red to absolutely crimson.

*Sits at the bar with her chin on the table, staring at the alcoholic beverage in front of her. She lifts her head up and sniffs it, then cringes.*

How do you drink this stuff? This drink is derived from a Blue Agave plant. It once existed on Earth-that-was, but somehow they found a way to grow it here.

*takes a sip, but has a hard time swallowing it, feeling the burn of it slide down her throat*

The pain is... substantial. *quickly gulps down the rest and sets the glass back down on the table, already slightly buzzed being a lightweight and all. The bartender looks at the young girl in awe*

Hit me. *A cheesy smile crosses her face*

Oram: Now, Brit no need to be startin--

Dash: "I did not conjure the pun, I merely utilized the opportunity to you created to finish it. The effect of the alcohol is very apparent, therefore I might have been willing to excuse your indiscretion. However, you have now increased the amount of force used."

*abbey is not having a good night.

First it was the "incident" at the ship involving her and the Captain. She thought a drink might be the thing to help her relax a little.

Since arriving at the saloon, she'd been reminded of the "incident" at least twice and witnessed a bar fight between two crew members - one from her ship and one from a ship that is closely tied with them. Although it does seem to be resolved now and the two are drinking together.

But she is not relaxed. Not at all. She is still on edge. She fiddles with the inhaler in her pocket and wonders if this was a bad idea.

She decides that she'll hang out for a bit longer, since she doesn't really want to walk the five miles back to the ship alone.*

*Shadows are moving in closer to Colt and abbey. Abbey squeezes his arm, nervously.*

Colt *whispering as he pushes abbey behind him*: Something tells me were not going to make it to the mule.

Abbey *sarcastically*: You think?

The first guy comes out of the shadows with a mask on his face. He has a gun pointed at them

Guy: Well what do we have here? Visitors to our fair town?

Colt *trying to lighten the mood*: What can I do you for?

Guy: You can hand over all your valuables.

Colt: Don’t have much…

Guy: She does… *He points to abbey, who is wearing a simple but expensive necklace and earrings. Turns to one of his cronies.* Get those and search them both.

*Another guy comes forward and goes toward abbey.*

Abbey *whispering into Colt’s ear*: I have a gun on my ankle…

Colt *whispering too*: Can’t get to it easily, won’t help us.

Abbey: At least I didn’t lose mine.

Colt: And I’m not wearing jewelry that costs as much as that.

Abbey *snorts*: Are you wearing the cheap stuff instead?

Colt *loudly*: NO!

*Second robber, pulls abbey roughly out from behind Colt and pushes her against the wall.*

Colt: No needs for the hands on!

A third guy comes up and pushes Colt against the wall. Colt catches sight of the last guy at the end of the alley, keeping watch.

Guy: Well, what happened to you two? Got yourselves all muddy.

Colt: Spa treatment gone bad? *Colt keeps an eye on abbey. She looks back at him, a plan forming in her head.* Oh, this is so not good.

*The second guy removes her jewelry and steps back to fill the bag he had. Abbey kicks quickly and lands a blow in a very sensitive area. The guy drops to the ground in pain. The first guy lunges forwards and pins her firmly against the wall and puts his gun to her head. Colt shoots her a look that says ‘what the hell are you doing?’.*

Guy: Don’t make me kill you, lady.

Abbey *starting to wheeze*: Planning on it anyway though, aren’t you?

Guy *laughing*: Hell no! We’re thieves, not murderers. Though I do have a plan for the both of you.

*The third guy finishes relieving Colt of any valuables that he had on him, then moves on to abbey as the second guy slowly pulls himself up from the ground. He finds her gun and a wad of cash on her. Abbey draws in a ragged breath. He shows them to the lead thief who whistles.*

Guy: Now what have we got here?

Colt *to abbey*: You walk around with that much cash on you?

Abbey *snaps at Colt*: It’s habit! *She wheezes.*

Colt *looking at her with concern*: You OK?

*abbey shakes her head as the thief finds the inhaler in her pocket and pulls it out.

Guy *looking at inhaler*: What is that? And what is wrong with her?

*Abbey snatches inhaler from the man and takes a quick puff before he wrestles it back out of her hand. The wheezing quickly stops*.

Colt *a bit menacing*: She’s been sick. Just leave that alone. Let her keep it.

Guy *taking it from his fellow henchman and reads the label*: For acute asthma attacks. Hmm. My sister’s kid has that problem. She thanks you in advance for the gift. *Colt starts to step forward, but is put back into his place by the guy pointing the gun directly at abbey’s head.* You seem to care for this lady a bit, so you best stay still. *Colt freezes.*

Abbey *muttering*: Even thieves we don’t know give us grief. Is everyone insane?

Guy *as the third guy hands the bag of loot to him*: Handcuff them and get them into the hover. *Turns to abbey and Colt.* Can’t have you running straight to the sheriff. We’ll drive you a ways out and drop you off. It’ll take you a while to get back.

Colt *as thief handcuffs his hands behind him*: How far? *Abbey is getting handcuffed the same.*

Guy: May take you a day, maybe more. Don’t worry, there is water and the like on the way. You won’t be harmed none. Just a little tired.

Colt *almost pleading*: She needs that inhaler. Walking that far may…

Guy *interrupting*: Best not walk very fast then.

Colt and abbey are led to a banged up hover. Colt is amazed that it still works, it looks so bad. They are blindfolded and shoved into the back.

Abbey and Colt (in unison): Hey!

Guy *as the hover starts moving*: Can’t exactly have you watch where you were being left.

abbey *growls at Colt*: You better remove that hand again… Or I will make sure you loose it when we get back.

Colt *shifting*: Sorry… It’s kinda tight back here.

*Guy smiles at the banter as they are driven about 20 miles out of town and dumped out. The thieves remove the blindfolds.*

Colt *motioning to the handcuffs*: Care to remove these? Wouldn’t be proper.

Guy: OK. *He removes abbey’s handcuffs from both of her hands but removes only one of Colt’s. Before they can move, the guy fastens the empty cuff to abbey’s wrist so they are bound together. They lift up their arms and gape at their situation.*

Colt and abbey *in unison*: Nooooo…

Colt *turning to guy*: That’s just cruel.

Abbey: Cruel? I’d rather be handcuffed to a mule.

Colt: I’m sure this fine gentleman could oblige you…

Abbey *glares at Colt*: No need. Already been done.

Guy *chuckling*. I figure you all need to get a little more acquainted. You guys sweet on each other?

Colt and abbey *shouting in unison*: NO!

Guy *chuckling harder*: Let’s go boys.

*The thieves load into the hover and speed away, leaving Colt and abbey in a forested area lit only by the stars and a full moon.*

Colt: Why did you have some much cash on you?

Abbey: Told you, it was habit.

Colt: And the jewelry?

Abbey: It was pretty.

Colt: Did you paint the sign yourself?

Abbey: What sign?

Colt *waving hands over his head, pulling abbey’s hand up as well*: The one over your head that says “ROB ME NOW!”

Abbey: Well…You were such a great help back there in the alley.

Colt: I didn’t have a gun!

Abbey: At least I held onto mine in that mud pit. *Tries to brush excess dirt off outfit with both hands. Colts hand flops around with the motion.*

Colt: At least I didn’t get myself nearly dead in the process.

Abbey: I had to do something. You obviously weren’t.

Colt: At least I was smart enough to know when I am outnumbered.

*Colt leans over and brushes mud off her face. He looks into her eyes. What beautiful eyes… They stand mesmerized by each other for a second. Abbey blinks then turns away, walking a few steps to look over the landscape. Colt is pulled along after her by the handcuffs.*

Abbey: So genius, which way is the Ship?

*Thinking to myself* Hard to believe not more than a hour ago I thought she was attractive. 'Course she wasn't talking near as much. Maybe it was the liquor.

*Abbey paces back in forth in front of me. Dragging my left hand along with her, over my head.*

Abbey: Are you just going to sit there all night? We need to get going. I can't believe I'm stuck out here with you. Why arn't you saying anything? Talk to me.

Shut up?

Abbey: Shut..You can't talk to me that way. I'll say what I want when I...

SHUSH * I jerk the cuffs hard. Stopping her* I'm thinking.

Abbey: Thinking? Oh we really are screwed.

*I glare at her, she ignores me* Had to be the liquor.

Abbey: What?

Nothing *I get to my feet* We were in the hover about 15 minutes. Should put us no more than 20, 25 miles from the Book.

Abbey: 25 miles? How do you expect us to get back. Won't they come looking for us? How will they know where do look.

Abbey, your mouths running again.

*She starts to object....again, but I put a finger to her lips.* Listen Abbey, I know your worried, but you got to slow down. Remember you don't have your inhaler. Crew will come when they can. Till then we walk.

*I start to move out when my arm is jerked in the other direction* Where you going?

The Book's this way (In unison)

Like hell it is. It's this way.

Abbey: I think your wrong.

There's a surprise. *rolling my eyes* My boat my choice. Not looking to carry you the whole way but I will if I have to.

*She stomps her foot but gives in. We walk in silence for a while*

Abbey: I thought you were a master criminal or something?

Huh?

I heard on the boat, you and Sky used to be burgerlers or something.

Your point?

*She stops jerking my arm again* My point is, why are we still in handcuffs? Can't you pick the lock?

No I can't.

Abbey: You can't? Master criminal, right. More like petty thief.

Petty..Did it ever dawn on you that maybe I ain't never been cuffed. Petty, Sky and I knocked off 4 estates in one night before. Feds didn't know it was done till we were off planet.

Abbey: Then why did you quit?

Feds ain't the big worry in that line of work. Everyone else you cross is. Private security, fences, middle men, marks. All of them want you or something from you. When Sky and I split the last time. I used my savings, bought a boat. Started this life.

Abbey: You had a boat before the Book?

Yeah but not long. Took a job. Things went bad. Not looking to talk on the subject.

*She doesnt press me and we continue walking*

Abbey: Colt?

Yeah

Abbey: I need to...use the rest room.

*Short time later near a bush. My arm twisted behind my back*

Abbey: Dont you turn around.

I ain't turning around. Ow, what are you dancing back there?

Abbey: Lost my balance.

*She finishes her business and were off again. We go about five minutes*

Abbey?

Abbey: Yeah

My turn.

*Back to back again*

Abbey: What the hell are you doing?

I'm left handed.

Abbey: Tonight your not.

*While I'm finishing my business (right handed) I see the silhouette of a building*

*We arrive at a small run down shack. Half the roof missing.*

We'll stop her for the night.

Abbey: You want us to sleep...here?

Be easier to see in the morning. Plus we might find some help.

*After some adjusting we finally settle in for the night*

*When abbey awoke the next morning, she could see the sun shining through the broken roof from where she lay. It had been cold the night before but now she was feeling… comfortable… and warm... She was surprised that her neck wasn’t hurting. She seemed to have found something to prop her head up like a pillow. The dazed feeling when you wake up from a really good night’s sleep was beginning to fade and the past night’s events were coming back to her. She distinctly remembered sitting up against the wall next to Colt trying to sleep… She felt something stir behind her then the feeling of someone’s breath on the back of her neck and their body pressed closely behind her. It wasn’t until his arm had pulled her into a tighter embrace that it dawned on her what was going on. It was about the same time that Colt woke with a jolt and realized the same thing. They both jumped away from each other.*

Colt and abbey *in unison*: Eeeew!

*Their motion was so quick that they almost jerked each other’s shoulders out of joint. They rebounded back towards each other and smacked their heads together.*

Colt and abbey *in unison*: Owww!

*They sat as apart from each other as possible. Rubbing their tender foreheads.*

abbey: What did you think you were doing?

Colt: I didn’t do anything! I fell asleep against the wall.

abbey: So did I!

They sat there a little longer, glaring vehemently at each other.

Colt *changing the subject*: We’d best get moving.

abbey: I’d say that was an understatement.

They stand up and chunks of dried mud fall from their clothes. Both of their attire are stiff from filth. They took a whiff of the clothes. It smelled of manure.

Colt and abbey *in unison*: Yuck!

Colt *nervously*: We… we need to get out of these… clothes.

Abbey *raises eyebrow*: And how do you suppose we do that? I am not, repeat not, getting naked with you.

Colt *protesting*: Like I would want to…

abbey *all to quickly*: And why not? You have a problem with me?

Colt smiled at her. She realized what she had said and quickly turned to look around the shack. She changed the subject quickly.

abbey: What’s in these trunks?

Colt: Let’s look.

*They kneeled next to the first trunk and opened it. They were surprised to find that the trunk was well made and kept the contents inside in good shape. It was filled with women’s clothing.*

Colt: Guess we found the trunk for you. *Starts looking around the room.* I wonder if one of the other two trunks has man clothes.

*abbey rifles through the layers of clothing until she reached the bottom. There was various forms of suggestive lingerie, low cut dresses and other tackily decorated attire. She slams the trunk shut nearly catching Colt’s fingers in the process.*

Colt: Hey!

abbey *blushing*: We… we need to look into the other trunk.

Colt: Nothing fit?

abbey: You could say that.

*They moved to the next one and found similar stuff. This time, Colt watched as she went through it. As she inched closer and closer to the bottom, his eyes became wider and wider. *

Colt *whispering*: What the…

*abbey looks around at the room now since they can now see the faded décor it contained. She started to laugh heartily.*

abbey: This used to be a… a whore house!

Colt *eyes getting ever wider than before*: You mean these clothes all are…

abbey *still laughing*: Their… work clothes!

*She calms down a little as she leads him to the last trunk. It was a little more modest, but not much. abbey pulls a dress out. It was blue and has spaghetti straps that attached to the garment by a hook in the back. It was a little low cut, but not overly so and the length was short, but not too short. One thing that drew abbey to it was that it was soft, obviously made with some decent quality fabric. *

abbey: I can wear this. It isn’t that bad. And I will be able to fasten it even with the handcuffs.

Colt: What am I going to wear?

abbey starts laughing again. Colt quickly comes to the same conclusion as she did.

Colt *horrified*: Noooo. I am SO not…

abbey *wiping a tear from her face*: You don’t really have a choice.

*She started going through the clothes again. About halfway down, there were ones built for a larger women. One handed, she pulled them to the top, tossing the lingerie onto the floor. Colt was unnaturally quiet. Finally she found something. It was a red halter that tied at the top and a longer skirt decorated with lace.*

abbey *continued to smile*: That’s about all that might fit you.

Colt *his voice a little higher than normal*: abbey, that’s… You can’t expect me… *in defeat, he grabs outfit from her* I guess it will do.

abbey chuckles more under her breath.

abbey: I saw a water pump out there in the yard. Maybe we could wash the mud off of us and our boots.

Colt: how are we going to do that and get dressed… privately.

abbey fumbles in the trunk and pulls out a red silk blindfold.

Colt *even more horrified*: Oh GOD!

We’re not sure where the Captain or Abbey are at the moment… we think they may have gone off together…..

Quiet you.

*While she's treating people, she grabs some equipment to treat Stan’s broken nose. His glasses are broken as well as having a wonky nose line.*

Good news…. It’s treatable and you’ll live.

*Stan raises his eyebrows*

Stan: And the bad?

It’s gonna look wonky unless I set it back into its place….

*Stan just groans in reply….*

It’ll hurt, but I’ll give you something to numb the pain.

*20 minutes latter, Stan has had his nose fixed, and cleaned up, his eyes are still watering from the pain though.*

Mobbex: Jeez… and here was I expecting you to take it like a man.

Hey, Mr-Blew-My-Money-On-Crap, it hurts like hell. Keep it down, or I’ll do the favour for your own nose.

Mobbex: But mine ain’t broken…

Abbey: You’ve been at it for 20 minutes. When are you going to give up?

I’m not?

Abbey: You said yourself you can’t pick locks.

That was before *working the rusty nail into the lock for the hundredth time*

Abbey: What’s different now?

Now I got to wear women’s clothes.

Abbey: Even if you get the cuffs off you can’t wear those smelly disgusting clothes.

*I sniff my shirt and fight the urge to heave* Don’t smell *cough* that bad.

Abbey: It’s much worse than your usual odor.

*I yank her cuffed hand towards me and go back to work on the lock*

*Tossing the nail down* Your right, aint gonna work.

*Glad that left my coat on the Book, I pick the nail back up and use it to rip my sleeve. Tearing my shirt, I pull if off. Then take Abbey’s sleeve and do the same.*

Guess we should get to it then *Leading her out the water pump* You sure we can’t wash em off enough to kill the stench?

Abbey: This isn’t the first time you’ve worn women’s clothes.

True, but I was getting paid before.

*Abbey hands me my new clothes and extra garment from the trunk* Here, to wash with. Can you rip the rest of my sleeve off?

*I grip her sleeve in my mouth and rip it with my free hand*

Abbey: That’s good. *holding the rest of her blouse she holds up the blindfold.* Turn around.

I’m fully capable of tying my own.

I’m sure you are but your not going to.

Well who’s going to tie yours?

Believe me Captain, you have nothing I want to see.

And you think you do? *she ties the blindfold around my head* Ow. Not so tight.

Abbey: quit being a baby

*She leads me to the pump and I feel my hand in her hair as she secures her blindfold. We carefully remove the rest of our clothes and begin to wash*

*Up on the hill.*

Jasper, take a look at this. *The other man rides up *

I didn’t know Bonn’s was open again.

Me neither, but looky there. Hey…that aint Bonn.

Must be a new gal. Are they handcuffed?

*Back at the pump*

I heard something * My hand is jerked back down.*

Abbey: Don’t you dare take off that blindfold.

I heard something. *We stand quietly but don’t hear a thing*

Abbey: Right you heard something.

I thought I did. I’m clean enough * I start to pull on my skirt*

Abbey: Well I’m not so you keep that blindfold on.

*Back on the hill*

That fella putting on a dress?

He...he is Horace.

Nice to know anything goes with this one. Bonn was kinda strict.

Let’s head to the bunk house and get cleaned up. Were gonna have some fun with this one.

I call first dibs

*Back at the pump were both dressed and remove our blindfolds.*

Abbey: Oh my…*trying not to laugh* You look…I mean you don’t look.

Laugh it up.

*We hike for a few hours without seeing anything remotely resembling civilization. Then come across a burned out cabin. Nothing stands but part of the chimney and an old well*

We might be able to get some water out of there. *pointing the well*

*We approach the old well. One side has collapsed. An old mesquite tree is growing next to it.*

*Abbey moves to the edge* Looks like there water.

*A snake drops from the tree and wraps around Abbeys neck. She loses her balance and falls in. I flatten out and grab the side of the well still standing, to keep from following her in*

Abbey!

*She manages to get the snake off of her with her free hand*

Colt…Colt there are more down here. Get me up.

*I pull hard and yank her back up*

Are you bit? * I lay her down and start looking for a bite mark* Do you feel any pain?

I….I don’t’ think it *wheeze* I don’t think * wheeze* it bit me.

*I pick her up and carry her to the chimney.*

You’re ok Abbey, just calm down. *genuinely concerned* Abbey you got to breath now. Calm down.
