*Pain and Ertia exited the museum, holding each others hand. Pain thought the museum was pretty boring but he did like the weapons portion of it, plus he came out of the museum with a new found respect for Ertia. Pain said to her*
So what do you wanna do now?
*Ertia smiled, hugged Pain and said*
I'm starving let's go to a cafe and get something to eat.
*Pain smiled and said as he hailed a hovertaxi*
That sounds like a god plan bao bei.
*They entered the cab and Pain said to the driver*
Take us to the nearest cafe please.
*The driver nodded and replied*
Yes sir.
*Pain sat back in the rear seat and thought to himself as Ertia rested her head on his chest*
Well this vacation is goin' better than I thought.
Meanwhile outside of the Harrow Estate
*The mysterious man watched from a safe distance as the police continued to swarm Harrow's Estate. He thought to himself still unsmiling*
A minor setback that's all this is, just a minor and unexpected setback.

Hey! River doesn't have to go away! I already invited her to join the thread once. :)
Ertia and Pain return to the hotel arm in arm. As they come up the steps into the lobby, the manager flags them down, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Donovan, but you've had an emergency message from your sister."
Ertia sighs heavily and Pain frowns, "My sister, Clementine?"
"No," The manager seems taken aback, "Your sister..." He consulte the note in his hand, "Your sister Fly? She says there's been an emergency with your father and to call home."
*Oh lord. what now?* Ertia thinks as they return to their room and Pain pulls out his communicator. Wash's voice reaches out from it, "Pain! There ya are!"
"What dya want, Wash?" Pain asks, clearly annoyed.
"Mal says get yer butts back to the ship. We got feds after 13 and this whole town is about to become alot less friendly."
Ertia is already packing as Pain drops the communicator back into his bag. She meets his gaze with a smile, "It's always something, ain't it?"
"Yeah." Pain tosses the last of his things into his bag, "Remind me again why we do this?"
"'cause if you had regular employ, you'd be bored sick." Ertia gives him a wink as they leave behind the luxurious warm hotel room and head for the shuttle.
On the bridge of Serenity
Wash starts running the start up sequences, trying one more time to call Kaylee and Wolf on the com.
"Kaylee? Can you hear me? I could really use my mechanic here!"
There's still no answer, and Wash becomes increasingly desperate. The sudden blinking from the instrument panel catches his attention and he swears loudly and creatively in Mandarin. Finally, he grabs the com, switching to Shipwide and Transmitter broadcast, "Uh, Mal, Crew, anybody who can hear me... We're under LandLock."

*Pain sighed and said to Ertia as they reached the shuttle*
You know I was hopin' this vacation of ours was goin' to go smoothly, but then again I guess that was askin' too much.
*Ertia reached up and kissed Pain on the cheek. She said as he opened the shuttle's hatch*
It's ok baby at least we got to share the jacuzzi.
*Pain smiled and said as they boarded the shuttle*
Yeah that was fun, especially the part between the jacuzzi and the bed.
*Ertia closed the hatch as Pain sat in the pilot's chair. She walked over to him, hugged him from behind, and said as she sat in the copilot's chair*
It was the funnest part of our vacation. Of course I enjoyed all of our vacation with the exception of 13 crashing our dinner.
*The memory of 13 in a dress crashing their dinner at the restraunt was still fresh in his memory, he let out a loud laugh as the shuttle rose from the ground and said*
That dress was awfully hideous wasn't it?

13 cracks his knuckles in anticipation, still smiling his wolfish smile. White continues to drone on.
"You can't get out of this alive," White says to 13, his men advancing.
"Yeah, I've heard that before." As the men form a circle around him 13 fluorishes the Pemier. The shuttle is still looming behind him, guns at the ready.
"Last chance, 13. Come with us to be killed softly, or die right here. Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Think I'll die here, actually, but I appreciate the offer."
"Good," White smiles, drawing a laser pistol. In that instant of time, 13 turns, runs, and leaps for the combat shuttle. It banks to the left sharply, but not enough to dodge the Pemier, piercing the fibreglass hull.
13 dangles precariously while bullets tear past him, some connecting. Gathering momentum, the bot swings from the Pemier to latch onto the side of the shuttle, scrambling to the top.
White aims carefully, and fires. The glaring red beam flares, easily passing through the shuttle's structure, effectively slicing it in half.
13 jumps from the falling craft to the grass below, legs almost failing from the impact. Wincing at the laser blast, he shambles through the grounds, digging out slugs from his arms and torso as he flees.

*wolf looked out across the ocean.*

(13's little chase is gonna be a little bloody. Won't know what hit'em.)
13 hides in the high branches of a tree as the soldiers came closer. He could hear their heartbeats, small, weak things. 13 smiles as they come closer, unaware of the creeping bot.
As they come directly beneath the tree, 13 drops down, fingers pulling great, long furrows in one soldier's face, blood spraying from the gashes in wide arcs.
Before the other could even shoot, 13 snapped his arm, the bone tearing loose from the flesh, gleaming in the sunlight. Muffling the man's horrid scream with his hand, 13 snapped the man's neck.

*Ertia replied to Pain's question just as they docked with Serenity*
It certainly was.
*Wash's voice came though the shuttle's com*
Pain and Ertia so glad you two could join us. How was your date?
*Pain hit the com button and said sarcastically as he unfastened the seat harness*
Oh it was lovely especially the part where the cross dressin' robot crashed our dinner.
*Wash chuckled and said*
Yeah they are fun aren't they?
*Pain replied*
Yeah so why're we still here? Shouldn't we be leavin' atmo right now?
*Wash responded*
Well as much as I'd like to, we're landlocked at the moment and 13 is playing with some new found friends.
*Ertia replied*
Now those "friends" of 13's wouldn't be half the Londinium police force would they?
*Wash replied*
Apparently they are, say would you be a doll and help with the landlock situation?
*Ertia sighed and said*
I'll be there in a minute.
*Ertia kissed Pain again and said*
You think you can go play nice with 13's friends babe?
*Pain smiled and said*
Only if'n they play nice.
*Pain kissed Ertia on her forehead and said as they left the shuttle*
Go on and help Wash, I'll go help 13 get himself out of this mess.
*Ertia nodded and ran off to the bridge while Pain made his way to Serenity's weapons locker. He opened the door and took out a pistol, SMG, and one of the XM25 assault rifles with grenade launcher. He stuck the pistol in his waistband along with his own and grabbed a half dozen clips for each weapon excluding his own. He dodged a few bullets as they whizzed past and made his way out of the cargo bay, firing as he went. He ducked behind the base of an expensive statue, as bullets sent shards flying, and yelled to 13*
I hope you're ruttin' happy now! I've been tasked with helpin' your pigu!
*13 responded as Pain fired at a couple officers*
Thanks but it's not really neccessary.
*Pain was going to reply when a voice from a troop carrying transport not too far away said over the P.A.*
This is the police! Put down your weapons and surrender or we'll be forced to shoot you down! This is......
*Whoever said the message didn't get a chance to repeat it as Pain fired two grenades at the transport, causing it to veer off course, flames shooting out of an engine pod and its left side. Pain yelled at 13*
You were sayin'!
