SD961113.20 Kylee Nix A Change of Owners?

[Jennifer Giles]

Kylee woke with a start from her place on the floor at the foot of Bishop's bed, the sound of yelling in the hallway waking her. She grunts as the chain around her neck pulls her up short, causing her to choke and begin to cough as she lets it slacken. As she gasped for air, the smell of smoke reaches her nose and she glanced towards the door, seeing the orange and red flicker from some fire through the crack at the bottom of the door.

The door opened and she was blinded by the sudden excess of light in the room. She tried to pull her chain free from the bed post, blinking to see who had entered as they moved towards her. She growled at the person as they lifted a bag, one arm swinging out to punch him, satisfied with the grunt she elicited from the man.

"Jinx.. get in here.. This one be a fighter," the man yelled, only making her struggle more at the chain, fingers seeking out the glasp of the collar. She growled as a second man appeared, this one lifting his hands. "Calm yourself, girl. We're the good guys.." Jinx said, his tone soothing. "Now, if you'll just stay still, I'll get you free.." he said, taking slow steps forward, one hand reaching to the collar on her neck. The first man began to protest, though went silent as Jinx looked back to him. "If she hurts me, then you can tranq and bag her," Jinx said, his hand finding the clasp and undoing it.

Kylee stared at the two warily, moving back from them once she was freed, her hands lifted in defense before her. "You go now, or I shall have to hurt you," she growled out, moving around the perimeter of the room towards the door, darting suddenly for the exit. "Oh now, can't have that, girl," Jinx said, his arms wrapping around her waist and arms. She growled, struggling and fighting to get free, before a hypo is put to her neck, and she soon passes out from the tranquilizer, to be taken who knows where..
