<rises to feet, blood rushing out of wound on head>

...c-can barely stand...foul, cowardly attack...

need to get to Medicus Two...wouldn't have survived if not for Sheenu...maybe not so bad after all...

<slumps against wall, walking forward>

LMB, help me...help me please...I feel I may pass out again...

Ohmygod!

<Pulls Omnicom from her belt>

Space Ranger and All Security Officers in the Vicinity of... <Looks at a street sign> Pov Place and Lurker Ave, respond... Officer Down... I repeat Officer Down...

<Lands next to Sir Roy, kneels and begins First Aid.>

Brit, you said "Officer Down" where is the officer?


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(I don't think I'm gonna like her answer...)

Ohmygod! Mr. Sir Roy is the officer...

Are you aware that "Sir Roy" here is also known as the Royal Executioner?


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(I know it's a dumb question, but...)

Ohmygod! Like Duhhhh! Of course I know that. Everybody like knows that!

<Two Redshirt Patrol Officers cautiously enter the alley. Behind them is a Paramedic Rescue Unit. Ranger turns to address them.>

I've stabilized him. Transport him to the Security Office Infirmary and hold him there under guard.

<Ranger pulls out his Omni com.>

MY, patch me thru to the Takron-Galtos duty officer...

< Nobody grabs the Ranger's Omni-com from his hand>

Ohmygod! Just what exactly do you think you're doing OFFICER Space Ranger?

<Looks back and forth between Everyday Girl and Nobody/No-One with a very confused expression on his face>

Umm... Returning the escaped prisoner to custody?


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(What did I do wrong?)

*cough*

Ev-everday Girl, thank space...

*cough*

Not doing well at all...heh...I'm on your side now Ranger, just like old times in the Alt ID Rebellion...don't think I haven't forgotten that...

<rubs head>

I'm in bad shape. Attacked, but managed to live through sheer luck...

...no longer a prisoner Ranger...just trying to prove I can make amends...

<Waves the waiting paramedics down the alleyway>

Ohmygod! Sam, Tony, you guys take over... Get Sir Roy to Medicus Tower soonest and ask Doc One to get me an update on his condition ASAP...

<Turns back to Space Ranger>

Sir Roy had my back when I took down the Red Bee. He also put his life on the line to save Mr Vee during that Five Faces of Death Fiasco. Not to mention fighting side by side with Hrun, Gramps, Mr Faraway, My, Jailbait, and I at the Deadly Tower...

He's proven himself...

Now don't you have an assignment to complete, Officer Ranger?

h-hit me with a blunt object...same type of M.O.

Must be a reason he's using old technology...

Any Idea who it was Mr Sir Roy, Sir? <Smiles at Roy>

*cough*

No, none, though it obviuosly went to some trouble to keep it hidden from me. Up until now we weren't sure if the assassin was using surprise against us or intentionally keeping his identity a secret...now we know its both.

He's strong too...<rubs head>

And Brit--thanks for sticking up for me <smiles>

<suddenly Everyday Girl recieves an INCOMING MESSAGE>

------------INCOMING MESSAGE----------

From: Jailbait Lass
To: Everyday Girl
Cc: My Whee Fem
Topic: Attacks

Brit, how is it going with Gary Concord? Is he a suspect? I may have found an alternative suspect myself.

Also, we need to discuss your uncle Space Ranger and his return. So many mysteries on Legion World, as if they are all converging...

- 'Lita

--------------END MESSAGE----------------------

Say, Everyday Girl ... what's going on? Where's the downed officer?

I've been tracking Tomahawk, but no luck so far ...

Ohmygod! Hi Sharky the downed officer was Mr Sir Roy. He's been taken to Medicus Tower by the paramedics.

Listen, Sharky, do me a favor... I know you've been helping Lo... Jailbait Lass as much as you can... just... stay as close as you can to her... I've got a feeling she might be a target.

And yeah, we want to talk to Tomahawk... and Gary Concord...

so far no leads on Tomahawk ... I'll try to hook up with Jailbait Lass, well, um, you know know what I mean ... I think I might check out the O.K. Corral again too ... no one seems to agree with me about "John Doe's" identity so I'm gonna see what I can dig up ...

<splash>

Ohmygod! So what's like around here that someone could have been trying to keep Mr Sir Roy away from?

<Notices a small shop a few doors down from the location of the attack on Roy...>

That shop? Could that shop possibly contain something someone is trying to hide?

<runs through the streets, with Shark Lad following>

Sharky, we've got to get to Medicus Two stat! I wanted to be there when Lardy tried this...

<suddenly leaps out of the shadows, grabbing Jailbait Lass and pulling her aside>

DON'T MOVE. Shh...shh, by quiet...

<hand over her mouth, other hand across her arms and chest, as her feet wiggle>

I hear you been looking for my pretty lady...and I want to know why? You best speak fast, because I don't know ya, and I don't take kindly to accusations.

<pushes her free>

Let go of me!

<pulls out blaster, prepares to fire>

Get your damn hands off of me!

<terrified, Lolita recalls the Red Bee from years ago>

You...you...don't move...

<hand shaking, holds up blaster>

You...reek of tobacco and whiskey, you know that? What do you think you're doing grabbing me like that in an alley?

And why did you let me go?

You're wanted for questioning right now. For several attacks, including one murder, and possibly a few more. So speak fast 'Tomahawk'. Who are you, how are you here in the 31st Century and what the hell happened to all of you up in those hills?

I got no idea what makes you think I answer to you, or anyone else around here. Put that damn gun down right now, or I'll snatch if out of your hands and smack you with it. Hear me?

<eyes blaster>

Now calm down. I grabbed you because I didn't want you screaming to that giant shark friend of yours I seen you walking around with. Not too long ago there was a bar fight and I ended up cracking him in the jaw. Once the fight calmed down, I realized it was a sucker-shot and the last thing I want is a dang-blasted giant shark chasing me around an alien world over one thousand years after my proper time period. You can say its a little over-whelmin'.

<as she lowers blaster, dusts self off>

I'll gladly tell you whatever you want to know. I can see the dissapointment in your face. You thought you'd cracked the case after all, didn't you? Thought you had your man? I'm sorry sweetheart, but there ain't much I can help you with.

I'm as guilty of shooting that crazy Cobalt Kidas you are, and I didn't kill Clive. But yeah, I know 'em both from being over those yonder hills.

As for who I am, I'm Tomahawk, same as I always said. And I'm from 1772, the year of our Lord, and from the American Colonies. Soon to be the United States of, if things go acccording to plan.

Now...lets move this somewhere cozy where giant sharks with guns and the law on their side ain't chasing me.

I've got a little place up the street I like.

<quietly taking it all in>

You sure talk fast.

<looks at manilla folder; looks at Tomahawk>

Okay, I'll go with you. But I know I look really young to you--know that I'm not helpless. I've trained with the best of the best, and I'll never be helpless again. I'd as soon shoot you through the back or rip out your eyes if you lay a hand on me again.

I'll follow and hear your story. Either you're guilty and I'll bring you in myself--or with my ferocious and reliable friend Shark Lad--or I'll hear your story and start to get some answers.

<leaves Shark Lad a trail, anyway, for back-up>

Fair enough. Follow me...
