Bob had sneaked around the shop long enough; he learned he wasnât going to get caught. Chitenga was extremely busy with studying some strange cube, and Farago seemed to ignore him, which fed Bobâs suspicions about him. Walking along the walls as slowly as possible, he made his way into Chitengaâs laboratory. He knew who was after, and what he was doing, and couldnât afford to waste much time.
Ryoko was sleeping calmly in a pair of handcuffs, and only woke when Bob shook him. He yawned, and then smiled at Bob.
âI knew you would get out.â He said, as Bob examined him. He had a scar across his bare stomach, but that was the only damage. âIâm not...â Ryoko stopped in mid-sentence and stared up at the door.
âHmm, so you escaped.â Farago said. Bob spun around, and gripped for anything that would work as a weapon. A syringe was all he found. âDonât get so jumpy, Bobby. Those things wonât pierce my skin anyways.â
Ryoko scooted onto his feet, and stood a little behind Bob. It was comforting for both of them for Bob to be up front. Farago frowned at them, and shook his head.
âWell, what are you waiting for?â Bob challenged, holding out the syringe despite everything.
âIâm waiting for you to put that down and come to your senses.â He said. âYou might think Iâm some sort of animal who sits on a leash and waits for his master to say âsicâ, but youâre wrong.â He grinned, barely his fangs. âThereâs an exit at the end of the ship. Once you get out, find my brother. He has a teleportation device on him that will take you to Earth ahead of Chitenga. It will only work once, though, so make sure you get to Earth.â
Farago gave Ryoko a glance, and then walked off, wagging his tail like a puppy that just got a treat.
âI hope that the teleportation system doesnât have ESP.â He said, rubbing at his scar.
Bob didnât bother asking because he already knew. Chitenga was almost as crazy for bombs as Hibiki and Gasaraki were, but Chitenga liked putting them inside of people. Bob looked sadly at Ryoko, and sighed. He couldnât take Ryoko, and he knew it. The minute Chitenga saw that Ryoko was gone heâd blow him up. Ryoko knew this too. He looked back at Bob, and frowned.
âStay here.â Bob said, finally. âDonât let Chitenga near you, and donât turn your back on Farago. Thereâs something about him that doesnât quite fit.â
âYes, captain.â Ryoko said, studying his boots like they were interesting. âBut other than Faragoâs sudden increase in intelligenceâat least the speaking part of itânothingâs odd about him. Just like you, he wants to escape the fate of his kind.â
Bob sighed. He couldnât, shouldnât, and wouldnât accept that.
Reluctantly, Bob left Ryoko standing in the middle of the lab, and escaped through the back. He borrowed Chitengaâs pod to help him do it, but he did. Taking a wild guess in which direction, Bob flew back to where the fake Earth would be. He had to find Rebirah.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~
âSo, you and your brother kill people for your father?â Jessica asked, feeling quite comfortable around the furry man now.
Rebirah nodded, holding Jessica tightly in his arms as they sat together on the only spot of grass they could find. He was falling more in love than ever staring at her beautiful face and listening to her soft voice. It seemed to sing every time it opened, and Rebirah was swaying with the music. Jessica laid her head against his shoulder, and wrapped her arms around his neck to keep from falling as he rocked.
âMy brother...I hope heâs okay. Chitenga was always so mean to him! Itâs a pity that fathers are like that sometimes.â
âMine wasnât.â Jesse said. âMine was so nice. But he died when I was young.â
Rebirah stopped rocking. âDoes it ever hurt to be alone?â
She flashed him a smile. âNot really. After my mother died when I was twelve, I went up into the training academy. I met several people there, and I guess I drowned out the pain with them. Vee especially. You know, when I first met her I thought she was in love. Her eyes were glowing, and her face was smiling constantly. Even when she was mad she looked happy. She wrote this guys name over and over again in her notebook, and would even break out in tears when she was reminded that he wasnât with her.â
âI want that.â Rebirah said. âIâve never had anybody who would cry for me if I disappeared.â
Jessica sighed. âNot even your brother?â
âNo, not even my brother.â
They sat in silence a moment longer, and it drove Jessica crazy. She wasnât sure why, but every time she looked at Rebirah she felt that warmth inside. It was like being with Vee, only much deeper. It was her first crush. She inhaled his scent, though dog-like, and petted the fur on the back of his neck. He was so wonderfully beautiful and youthful, but filled with knowledge and wisdom that was incomprehensible to the average being.
Sighing, she closed her eyes, ready to go to sleep in his beautiful arms. He sighed too, but he wasnât of content. It was quite the opposite.
âYes?â She asked, opening one eye.
âJessica...I, um...â He looked away, blushing. âJess...are you sure you canât love me?â
She blinked her eye, and then closed it again. She couldnât make herself refuse him twice. She opened them again and moved her hands up to the back of his head. She pulled him close, and pressed her lips to his. His eyes widen in shock at first, and then he pulled her further into his mouth, wanting to savor the moment.
The held their kiss until the metal pod crashed into the dirt beside them, spraying them. They both stood up in shock, and watched as Captain Bob came out of it, wiping his hands on his pants. Rebirah got into a fighting stance immediately, but Jessica touched his shoulder, reassuring him.
âBob? Youâre...youâre alive?â
âYes, Iâm alive.â He looked at Rebirah. âYouâre still alive too? He didnât kill you?â
âNo.â She blushed as she answered. âHe didnât want to kill me.â
âWonât Chitenga blow you up?â
Jessica gasped, but Rebirah smiled. âNo. He always forgets about stuff like this. His attention is easily taken away.â
Bob nodded, and then walked over them. In a quick movement, he kneed Rebirah in the stomach. Rebirah doubled over, gasping for breath, as Jessica screamed for him to stop. He reached into Rebirahâs pants pockets, and found nothing. There was no device at all.
âWhere is it?â Bob asked, getting angry.
âThe...bomb...â Rebirah said, holding his stomach tightly. âItâs in the bomb.â
Bob stopped searching and stared at him. âWhat did you say?â
âChitenga put the teleport in the bomb inside of me!â
Bob growled, and pushed Rebirahâs head to the ground.
âStop hurting him!â Jessica demanded. She punched Bob hard on the shoulder, and he turned around to glare at her.
âThis creature was made for killing. He wonât ever be your boyfriend, as you hope.â Jessicaâs blush deepened. Bob helped Rebirah stand up, and then pushed him forward and onto his feet. âGet us to Earth now!â
Rebirah sighed. âOkay.â

Does it suck? I'm trying to break my writers block in any way I can.
