As the shockwave of the bullet's sound got into their ears, followed by the bulleting riccochetting off the chimney, the girls jumped to the edge of the fenced in roof area and draw their weapons to where the shot came from. Even at 1000 yards, they can still hit a target with a handgun where others need a rifle scope and tripod on a sniper rifle.

Fernando: Dont Follow And Stand Down!

Triela: But He's Getting Away!

Fernando: Let him get away!

The girls follow the assailent with their gunsites but do not fire. Marco and Hillshire run up to the roof.

Marco: What happened?

Fernando: Some idiot tried to snipe one of us. Everybody, back inside.

Hondo tries to stay behind Fernando as he gathers everybody into the house.

Fernando: You too, Hondo.

Hondo: Where ever you go, I go. This game has gotten to dangerous for anyone person to be left alone.

Fernando: I can assure you that I was not the target.

Hondo: How can you be so sure?

Fernando: Who is the one that others are trying to kill?

Hondo: That is hard to say.

Fernando: No it is not. Its our little carrot top squirrel friend and her blonde baby sister. We are just in the way.

A fain but calm voice came from just inside the door. "Hondo? I really don't want to see you get hurt, if you can help it."

Hondo looked over his shoulder and spotted the pale figure in the shadows. She had one of her peacemakers in each hand.

"Oh Rosie. Don't worry about me. I'll be all right." He took her by the arm and led her downstairs as she said "Just don't take any undue risks."

He grinned at her and patted her small hand. "I won't. Come on, we need to stay inside. Even if Fernando insists on staying on the roof." he added ruefully.

"The sniper," said the AI once everyone was inside, "is travelling well over the speed limit in a northerly direction. I am tracking his car - I can tell you where and when it stops, if you'd like."

"From his driving pattern, I believe he is attempting to throw off any pursuit at the moment."

'I know how the Church and its splintered factions work.', Fernando thought.

Fernando takes his paw pilot device, and sends a message to CCC' screen.
Code:
Abort Suspect Trace.

Fernando continues looking out into the night sky in deep thought.

'Given, if in war, one would do their best with providing false leads that they hope their enemies will follow and sort through. Now... lets see...'

Fernando goes through his paw device and through the SWA inventory of Tammy's missions and any information acquired. He finds a mission that goes back over 4 months, where a huge cache of LSD and LSD production materials were found, but also a few other things as well. He notices that Marco was her handler partner for the mission. Fernando walks back inside, calling for Marco. Marco answers, but remains in his place. Fernando has to goback down to speak to him.

Fernando: Marco... remember a mission you and Tammy were on, over 4 months ago, involving a crashed LSD drug supply truck?

Marco: Yes, it was 1/2 way down a cliff and we had to repell down to it.

Fernando: What was found in it?

Marco: Some cheap lab equipment and LSD making supplies.

Fernando: Anything else?

Marco: What are you getting at?

Fernando: Were there weapons?

Marco: Most drug supply trucks we find often have weapons in it. This was no different.

Fernando: Who hit the truck... Section 1, Section 2, SOs?

Marco: We were supposed too, but it was already taken out.

Fernando: Then who took out the truck?

Marco: We dont know.

Fernando: You find out who that is, and you will find who we are fighting.

Marco: You are not making any sense...

Fernando: Drug runners would not hit a supply truck while enroute. They usually hit them when they are parked, and steal their contents. It is obvious that something else is going on here than meets the eye. Tell me Marco, if the North separates from the South, what international influences are there for the North to succeed?

Marco: Not enough data to give you an answer.

Fernando: Make a few phone calls. (He looks at his watch.) We got 3 hours before we move out. Tammy, Bink- dress your best and see me before we step out. CCC, search for various governments would would like to seize any part of the North for themselves, and extrapulate theories thereof. I can almost bet its either Solvania or any other of the former Yugoslavian states.

Hondo checks with Fernando for further orders, but he has non now, but get ready. So Hondo gets Rose, as he wants her in his line of sight at all times, and loads his truck with what he thinks he might need. they finish quickly and head back inside. Fernando is pasin' in the kitchen so Hondo and Rose sit down in the livin' room. Hondo had not really slept so he laid his head back. he soon feels Rose move closer. she curls up next to him and runs her small soft fingers through his hair. It gets him to thinkin' how beautiful she is and how kind she is. after a few minutes she lays her head on his shoulder and rests as well.
*what a great gal.* Hondo thinks too himself. * If I was only a more respectable person maybe . . . Could I really be fallin' in love, again? even if I was, could a lady like this love me? No she couldn't! could she? . . .*

Hondo

"I am - not good at politics. I don't know enough about how it works."

Nonetheless, the AI did what it could. Within ten seconds, it had a list containing every government on the planet, together with a reason why grabbing the North fulfilled their stated objectives - reducing unemployment, for example. It also contained an estimate of the amount of conventional military the country had, and the communt currently not busy fighting a war. This last bit of data was based on a suggestion suggested by Gadget, who the AI had asked for advice (appearing briefly in the Cafe without letting its manifestation vanish from the safe house).

Fernando keeps forgetting the basic of all basic rules of computing: GIGO.

So when CCC gave him nothing much he could work with, he could not penalize CCC for it. At least he's trying his best despite his limitations. 'Keep working on it...', was all Fernando could say to him. He puts the report on the dining table and leaves it there.

There was little to do but wait. Rose takes the girls upstairs to their room and help them change after washing up. They dress up in expensive looking clothes that was upstairs in a couple of closets. Finding something in Bink's size was a bit difficult, but it was done. Unfortunately, when you release a bunch of girls into a room and they find the perfume stash, bottles tend to run dry.

Fernando sat on one of the recliners, staring blankly at the TV screen. the girls took most of the time dressing up when they should have been relaxing, but who knows- maybe it was relaxing for them. They all come down 2 and 1/2 hours later- Tammy and Bink dressed up for a black tie affair, and Fernando thinking that they may have over done it. Hondo and the rest of the men look at Tammy, impressed by what she was wearing, and Bink as well, but Bink did not have that sex appeal that Tammy had (those thinking that she might should have their heads examined). But for the most part- the guys tried their best to ignore the perfume factory explosion smell on the girls.

Fernando (from the recliner): Are we ready to go?
Hondo: I hope so.
Rose: Just a few more minutes.

Fernando just growls to himself.

Fernando (without looking): I hope you can hide your gun on yourself somewhere!

Tammy walks over to him, trying her best Jessica Rabbit immitation and failing, putting her hands to the recliners arm rests and tried to talk seductively.

Tammy: What, dont like what you see?
Fernando: No- I cant see and *sniff!* What the- You and the others tried on all the perfume bottles? Egads!
Tammy: You no like?
Fernando: Tammy- lets get serious. Or should I treat you like one of my girl friends and slap that tail of yours so you can wake up into a full reality check?
Tammy (changing her tone): You would not dare smack my tail!
Fernando: Then dont tempt me by it- OK?!!

Tammy remains silent as she stepped away from him.

Rose: That was not nice, Fernando.
Fernando: When have I done anything nice for anyone, Rose?

Rose could not answer, for thinking to find an example would take too long.

Fernando: Look, you all got 5 minutes. I'll be at the Porsche.

Fernando gets up and walks out the house to his Porsche.

For a while, Fernando leans against the door of his Porsche, thinking how this little excercise could end in either good or bad. But for now, he knows that the group needs to tighten itself up first before anything can be done.

After a longer than necessary wait, they all come out of the house and towards the rear where the cars were parked. They all gather around Fernando.

Marco: Where too?

Fernando: Take me to the wildest gang ridden part of town by the edge of the park. This way if there is a shoot out, no one would think the wiser.

Marco: I see.

Alex II: What about Onyx?

Fernando: They are welcomed to join in on the fun if they like. *(Fernando presses a button on a small box on his keychain. the doors on the Porsche unlock) Tammy, get Bink in the car. You take the front seat.

Bink gets into the rear seat as Tammy gets into the rear seat thereafter.

Fernando: Hillshire- you lead, I follow. Hondo, you could ride with them or take your pickup.

Hondo: I'll take the pickup, thank you.

Fernando points at the freshly mounted .50 machine gun on it.

Fernando: You're going to ride into town with that?

Hondo: Give me sometime to cover it up...

Fenando: There is no time. Get into the Mercedes Stationwagon with the others.

Hondo: I can do this!

Fernando: Lets not ride into town looking like a gang looking for trouble.

Hondo grumbles as he and Rose step to the Mercedes. Hillshire lets them get into the rear seats followed by Angelica and Triela. Midnight took to the back area which openned up into another set of seats. Eventually, they drive back to Rome, into one of the rougher neighborhoods near a park entrance. The 35 minute drive seemed peaceful, although they were quietly followed by a black SUV. Fernando calls Marco on the cell phone and advices him on the situation. He gets back to talking with Tammy after talking with Marco.

Fernando: One thing more to remember Tammy...

Tammy: And what would that be?

Fernando: If you have to shoot somebody while fighting, dont ever shoot anyone in the back.

Tammy: Besides the obvious, why not?

Fernando: If you know the obvious- then why comment on it?

Tammy: I have been through all in hand gun training. I just dont want to use my weapon if I can help it.

Fernando: It does not matter whether you want to or not, sometimes you must in order to defend yourself or save your own life. Reguardless of what they say- the system is corrupt. Think about it- if Fat Cat was put in jail on the first time Chip and Dale caught him for his crimes, why did they had several more incidents with him- one of them included you being involved...? He either was released or escaped. If released- Fat Cat did not recieved his full punishment. If escaped, Fat Cat was caught several more times and released or escaped again. Its a cycle that does not end- and Fat Cat does not care about the lives of Chip, Dale, the rest of the rangers and in your case- your life as he did tried to kill you as well when you were with them. Eventually you will run into him again if you were to live back in the USA...

Tammy: It does not make any sense.

Fernando: Life never does. Neither does love.

Tammy: What do you mean by that?

Fernando: As much as you care about your sister- you have your own life to lead. Right now it includes her in your life, but later on, in a few years- when she grows up, she wont be. After then, what then? You'll still be young, considering... Where do you intend to continue with your life?

Tammy: I have not thought it through that far.

Fernando: Thats the problem with your generation... never thinking it through to an end. At least with me, I was already married by the time I was your age, and trying to make a family.

Tammy: Things are different then as they are now.

Fernando: No they are not.

The group pulls over to a seedy neighborhood in Rome, in the shadows of a park entrance. Marco carefully steps out of the vehicle and walks over to the Porsche. Fernando rolls down the window on Tammy's side.

Marco: We are here.

Fernando: Good. You guys follow us with a 5 minute gap in between. Tammy, Bink, step out, I'll be right with you in a moment.

The girls get out of the Porsche and step towards the Park entrance. Fernando secures the car, then walks over to Tammy and Bink. He takes her by the arm and they start walking into the park.

Fernando (out loud to Marco): Remember- 5 minutes.

They walk into the darkness of the park, Fernando continueing on with his conversation with Tammy.

Fernando: Look girl, in this spy game, you have to be one heck of an actor, with total control of one's emotions and faculities.

In the background, sounds of others following them can be heard.

Tammy: What do you mean by that?

Fernando: Just that... If you have to tell somebody that you love them in order to get what it is from them in a mission, you must show yourself like you actually do.

Tammy: I'm not giving up my personal self to anyone for the sake of a mission!

Fernando: I'm not saying that you have too. I'm saying that you have to act like you are. There is a difference.

Tammy: Then I would be living out a lie.

Fernando: You dont get it then...

They managed to walk into a clearing, with the nearest tree being some 20 yards away, and the closest street light being twice as far. Fernando stops for the moment, pulling Tammy to him as they stand together face to face. He looks into her eyes through his dark glasses, and senses her getting weak in his arms. By the treeline, shadows can barely be seen, but their activity can be heard in Fernando and Bink's sensitive ears.

Fernando: Does it matter that I am at least twice your age?

Tammy: What are you trying to say?

Fernando: Does it matter that here and now we are going to put our lives on the live just for you?

Tammy: I...

Fernando: Are you ready for anything?

Tammy: ... I...

Fernando: Remember, it is only an act...

Tammy: ... I...

Fernando slowly leans over to her, giving her one long and very passonate kiss. Bink could only stand there and gawk at them with her mouth wide opened. Marco and the others made it to the edge of the tree line to witness was was happening and what is to happen next. It seemed that their moment were to last forever, though it only last less than 30 seconds, as shadows approached them from all sides around them. It is followed by the sounds of mechanical devices clacking into place, and cold steel being placed behind necks. Over 20 assorted young punks surround them.

Young thug: Awww... how cute- a pair of lovers in the park... Now hand over the your valueables and no one gets hurt.

Fernando slowly lets go of Tammy, who is then taken by another. He slowly turns around to face his assailant, pulling out his wallet to hand over to him

Other young thug: Hey, I bet she's a real 'ooker!

Fernando: Look, I dont want anyone to get hurt...

Young thug: Awww... you dont want anyone to get hurt...

The young thug punches Fernando in his gut, and he bends down with the punch, seeming to be in pain. The wallet falls from his hand and onto the floor. Fernando follows. The young punk stand there with red on his knife Two others grab onto Bink and try to pull her away. Another two grab onto Tammy and hold her still as the young thug approaches her

Tammy: NO! What Have You Done To Him! Let me Go!

Young Punk: He should be the least of your worries...

The young punk puts the bloody blade to her face. He signals to the trees, and several more come into view, several wearing black attire (black pants, shirt, shoes, sunglasses- etc.) A couple passing by Fernando kick him over.

In the distance, Marco and the others watch what is going on, holding back from taking action.

Hondo: Why dont we move in- Fernando's been taken down!

Marco: Stand your ground cowboy... if there is one thing I know- everything is not what it seems to be with him.

They can hear Tammy's protests.

Rose: Why is Bink not doing anything?

Hillshire: She's been ordered not too until the first shot is fired.

Hondo: But they are out numbered... I count at least 30 there.

Marco: Dont you think there is something going on? Think about- if this were more organized, they would have at least taken or harmed Tammy and Bink by now.

Alex II: Some of them belong to Onyx.

Midnight: You're right... I'm going in.

Marco: Stand your ground, all of you! Angie, Triela, be ready to go in when I tell you too.

Guy in Black walks over to Tammy, and grabs her by the chin.

GiB {Guy in Black}: Such American Scum does not belong in our part of the world. Especailly working for the government...

Tammy can keep her eyes closed, though tears flows from her eyes.

GiB: Do what you want with her, but I want her and her sister alive.

Young thug: With my pleasure... Guiedo, Franco- drag her to the trees and hold her down as we can have some fun.

Tammy begins to struggle against them, pleading for her life. The others look down at Fernando.

GiB: Leave him there, maybe he'll make the headlines of 'Li Libretta'.

Suddenly a gun shot rings out, followed by several more, as those surrounding Fernando fall about him. Bink judo throws the two holding her, and she takes her SIG from her rear holster and takes out those near her.

Marco: Its begun... Angie, Triela- go in and give assistance! I want a few of them alive for questioning!

Angelica/Triela: Yes Sir!

The girls quietly run to the group as the maylee begins, but as for Tammy, she has yet to make a move to defend herself. As the girls run to them, several more GiBs run in from the trees from the other side to add to their numbers.

Hondo: (bleep)- there are more of them!

Alex II gets up and runs in to help them. Followed by Midnight and then Hondo, even though Marco is yelling at them to stand their ground.

Fernando manages to get up into a hunched over position, firing at anything that moved towards his direction, then find the two by Tammy, getting in on headshots to them both. They fall to the floor, letting her go. The one who put the knife to her before rushes at her with the knife in his hand in attack poistion. Both Fernando and Bink take aim to fire at him, and a single gunshot was heard. He falls as he takes his next step, revealing Tammy in a firing stance with her gun in her hands and smoke pouring out of the barrel. She stand there, biting onto her lower lip and tears pouring out of her eyes.

Angelica and Triela arrive to help out in the fight, with the guys taking care of the other who showed themselves after them, needing to retreat back into the trees with the guys in hot pursuit. Several gunshots can be heard in the thickness of the tree line. In under a couple of minutes, it is over. Those who could, manage to escape.

The group reassembles to where Marco pick on the few of the wounded and slap them about for a quick interogation. Fernando walks over to Tammy, and tries to tell her that she did well, only to have Rose butt in.

Rose: Haven't you done enough?!!

Rose takes Tammy by the arm and leads her away from him. The girls follow them. Hondo walks over to Fernando as he drops a wounded prisonner by Marco and Hillshire for questioning. Alex II and Midnight join him.

Hondo: You have done it now.

Fernando: So?

Hondo: I'm just saying.

Midnight: Was that fair to do to her?

Fernando: If you mean making someone who never harmed a fly to take a life- yes.

Midnight: You're so digusting, I hope you know that.

Fernando: Would you prefer to have her in a hospital or some mental asylum because she could not fight back? Really Midnight- its OK to be scared, but its not OK to let fear paralize you into non-action and let others to what they want with you.

Alex II: That was disgusting, Fernando. But I see what you were trying to do. I just hope she can recover from this.

Fernando: She will be more capable in doing what she needs to do now...

Hondo: So you hope.

Marco: Its not an easy lesson to learn, at least she learned it.

Midnight: I say there had to have been a better way.

Fernando: Say all you want, for the deed's been done and its over.

Of the group at the safe house, only the Protocol 7 projection of the AI had not accompanied the group to the park, citing an unwillingness to be directly involved.

And, indeed, on their return they found that it was no longer present - although it had left a gift for Tammy and Bink. Two small badges, depicting their faces, and a note saying "Wear them."

An open letter appology to the cast of characters and readers:

Reguardless of how you feel about what I have said, done, will say and will do here in Gunslinger Bink II: Acrons & Ergot- I am not going to sugar coat this story.

As stated before in the Original Gunslinger Bink, the events this Round Robin portrays the Anime Gunslinger Girl crossed over with CDRR. Gunslinger Girl, like more Anime, is not for children, its not sugar coated, the characters lead lives where life and death decisions are made, often with the GrimReaper smiling upon their deeds. In this Cross Over- Bink replaces the character Henrietta. You can go look it up on Google and Wikipedia if you want more info. But as a warning, it is Nior-ish in tone.

I just hope you all understand that I am not going to sugar coat this because it would go against what Gunslinger Girl is about. If you, the cast, wish to remain, I only expect what you can do with your character. I will do what I can not to take them out of character. If you leave, thats on you too. It just seems to me that "Then the going gets tough- the tough goes shopping...", and find it no excuse for chickening out.

Does it matter? Yes it does to some. No to many. It does to me.

What ever blood there will be spilled in this round robin will be of the characters as per the direction of where the story line goes. Considering that in many other round robins, there has been more death and bloodshed there then they have been here. If you dare tell me that such and such thread was for fun, dont kid yourself on my behalf. This is only a fictional story. If you dont like it, go read "Bridge to Teribethia" and not go past chapter 10. If you dont like this- you definately wont like that.

Only thing I will promise is to do my best not to take your Original Characters (OC's) out of content or do harm to them. As for the rest of this is on you, the participating characters.

If you think I have offended you, I would appologize, but I have to ask, why did you allow yourself to go this far (in reading or participate in it)? If you can give me a decent answer to that- You can have my appology- for ever that is worth.

Just remember- You can not have the day without the night. You can not have dreams without nightmares. You can not have good without bad.

(OOC: Quite so. And I have not left the round robin; it is simply that the AI takes an extremely dim view of launching an expedition to find someone to shoot, and has decided therefore to avoid a certain flying squirrel until he has been able to seek the advice of a chipmunk it greatly respects. Unfortunately, Chip is still hospitalised. On the other hand, it also wishes to ensure Tammy and Bink's safety, hence the badges... which are more than they appear, as they contain sensors which measure adrenaline levels. In times of danger, the AI can therefore appear and take appropriate action, such as stopping bullets with a succession of bodies. Until then, it can still be reached via email.

Having the AI stay would have been out of character.)

I am not the one you owe an apology. Why do you think I had Anne volunteer to take Tammy's place? As Anne told Tammy: "Do you even want to be on a mission or even a handler for that matter? Tammy, some people are cut out for this line of work. Some are not. You are not cut out for this no matter how much the SWA, Fernando and even your sister try to train you. You are putting your sister's life in danger."

I don't want to loose Anne and yet Tammy and Bink mean more to me than Anne.

If sugar coating goes against what Gunslinger Girl is all about then Arik is certainly guilty of that. When Arik wrote "Gunslinger Bink," he removed the part where Rico shot an innocent kid at point blank, removed the more horrific things the SWA did to Henrietta (Bink), removed the part where Jean struck Rico causing her to bleed, removed the entire issue with Elsa which you later added back in and wrote about a bloody massacre the least graphic way he could. Even the sword fight I wrote in "X-02" was more graphic than what Arik wrote in "Gunslinger Bink."

Pro/Anti?: G+? Someone else
OOC: It is not to scare people away, nor to demand actions that they would not personally take in the real world.

As per our discussion in the chat, this is just a character development for Tammy. Bink was already a 'child assassin' by being the Gunslinger Girl character Henrietta. If Bink can be so twisted into this position through the very processes that all the other gunslingers have gone through (cyborized bodies, conditioninng via both drugs and mental programming, etc.), why can not Tammy be a handler- be so trained as such and so on as cyborg handlers/care givers go.

This is not the same 10- 15ish yr Tammy of the 'Adventures in Squirrel Sitting' episode, this is a 20 - 22 yr old adult version of her. The same goes with Bink- this not the 1 - 2yr old diaper wearing squirrel pup that she was in the tv show, but an 8 - 12yr version there of in Gunslinger Girl format. Tammy (and Bink) has done a lot of growing up over the years, but they have plenty more ways to go. In this setting, I dont want Tammy to outright harm or take a life out of anger or distraught emotions, but in self defense. I think I did so in my story post.

In the job that Tammy does in GsB II, she is not liked by the terrorists or by the opposing politcal factions (what the terrorists call themselves), but know that she is part of a larger group that fights them. The general poorer Italian population does not like her for being an American Tourist... All of the above and the Organized crime members do not care about her as much as they care about others, which means if she were to get in the way- even accidentally- she is expendiable in their eyes. In this view, Tammy is a walking target. In the original GsB started by Arik- Tammy's mother and newy-wedded step father were killed off, and Bink butchered and left to die (as like Henrietta's history in Gunslinger Girl).

Bink is programmed to protect her, but Tammy does not want Bink hurt doing her job. The problem lies in, If Tammy is unwilling to fight in her defense, she will be eliminated. In this action, putting her into a situation where she would have to act for her own survival, this would wake up in her the ability of defense when called for.

The rest of the group, and the cafe as I am concerned, can pass judgement if they so like. I am not here to argue what-if's and ponder on 'finding better ways.' This is a mission dealing with terrorists, organized crime members, corrupt politicians, and people who do not care about the value of other people's lives. Place in that format- one has to act in a specific way or get out of the of others...

You can hate Fernando as the character of the story for taking such actions or Fernando as the author of the story line post for writing it. But do so accordingly.
