<span style="color: #ff0000">((Interaction with Tamaska was talked about ooc.  Sorry for typos, was on cell ))</span><br/><br/>Still lost, as Li li crumbled , Cain felt the last shred of control leave her completely. Everything echo'ed and for one blissful moment, she wondered if maybe this was all a dream. It wasn't like she hadn't dreampt of things like this before; hot older women, Li Li, Ai's and of course Toshi all goading and begging her for a fuck. Those were usually good dreams. They might have had moments of weirdness but nothing close to pleasure bardges exploding, and angry looks. It wasn't until medics swarmed through the door's that Cain knew for certian, this was no surreal nightmare, and  snapped out of it.<br/><br/>She shook her head once, trying to find her bindings, reached for Li Li's hand for grounding....and noticed her lover was on the floor.  "Shit. That's why theres medics..." She mumbled the obvious aloud, slinking to the floor. She finally tore her gaze from Toshi, and he lept into action, almost as if -nothing- had happened.<br/><br/>She cradled Li Li's head, tilting it to the side so she wouldn't suffocate, and pushed down combined panic and fear. Her expression shown nothing, Cain painfully aware that she had to keep her shit together to help Li Li. Shit, that had become her mantra since...well. Since shit went to hell.<br/>She noted almost immediatly that the crew buzzing around Li Li was -not- dressed in federation standard med-gear.  This was bad. This was real bad. Cain felt a twisting nausea in the pit of her stomach, and knew she had to act fast, for both thier sakes.<br/><br/><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0)">"C'mon Li, baby, snap out of it...."</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">. She pat the girls cheek, smooth , shaking fingers trying in deseperation for the girl to snap out of it. She finally brought her gaze upward, looking around them. Maggie was gone, Toshi stared heartlessly, and the AI spat a retort at her former lover. She -Immediatly- changed her focus to the medics. Who the fuck were they? There was only one other med center on this side of the station. Her worried brow creased , as she pressed her lips to Li Li's cheek in desperation. </span><span style="color: #666600">" If I ever needed you to do anything, it would be to snap out of this..." </span><br/><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">She murmured into the girls clammy skin, a show of affection that was not at all common for Ethonian slave owners. Most would stare as Toshi did, or walk away like Maggie. To them and those she served, Li Li was a thing, and not one to get upset over. If she died? She was easy to replace. </span><br/><br/>She ignored the prying hands of the medics as they swarmed in at first.  Jerking her shoulder away as they tried to get to her pet, her mind racing with fear. She needed a plan, and fast, but Li Li....this never happened before. She was as scared as she was furious and eventually allowed them to push her aside.  Reluctantly and bloodied, Cain stood, fists clenched , h<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">er eyes locked on Maggie's form as the older woman stepped outside, carless as ever. <br/>
<br/>
She heard the AI ask who the medics were, and that sealed it. Her gaze narrowed, there were only two hospitals on this side of the station...Fed. .and the much smaller privitized St.whoever of what'sit. Or something. Any one with any streetsmarts (and Cain had plenty) knew you did -not- go to St.whatever of perpetual martyrdom.  </span><br/><br/>She stared at the older woman's backside as she left, no less intrigued or arroused, and the impusive part of her -wished- she could bolt after her. However, with the unbridled chaos, Cain had to pick her battles. She stayed by Li Li's side.<br/><br/>Cain needed a plan. Fast. Real fast. She lookef to Toshi, who stared daggers at them both. Cain stared back at her former lover hands and shirt covered in blood. She blinked....<br/><br/>She had it.<br/><br/>One of the medics spoke, "We need to move her."<br/><br/>Immediatly Cain flew into action. Angry, sticky fingers found her blaster. She grabbed the medic by the shirt, and shoved the pistol against her temple. She turned to the Ai, and swallowed thickly, hoping that with all the confusion the machine couldnt get clearance to shoot back.<span style="color: #666600"> "I'm threatening this woman's life." </span>She started,<span style="color: #666600">"You gotta take me in..take me to Fed. And you gotta take Li Li with me...she's private property and thanks to act.HS-12538-B amendment G , slaves and owners are not to be seperated upon enturnment if either are seen as in danger. "  </span><br/><span style="color: #000000">She pointed her gun at Li Li. </span><span style="color: #666600">"She's in danger. So. ..let's..just...get moving. Not on yr watch, ecetera ecetera, lets go Toaster."</span><br/>It was a long shot, but  damned if she'd let Li Li, or herself step foot into a  Dragon med center. There was no fucking way they were coming out of that. She'd.go.to fed. Her lawyers would get her off on a momentary madness and duress charge, and she'd walk.<br/>She gave the AI a glare, one that hid how utterly hopeless she felt in this situation and glowered,<span style="color: #666600">"Time to be a big damn hero down at the station, Narc." <br/>
</span><br/><span style="color: #000000">She motioned the self constructed shit parade towards the exit, slowing as she stepped past Toshi. She stopped entirely for a moment, hand on the paniced medics colar and the other white knuckled her gun. She didn't look behind her, and was hopeful that the AI Narc would at least be useful and do it's fucking job. She did take a moment to stare at Toshi, a weak smile curled her lips and she shrugged. It was almost charming if she hadn't been threatening a stranger. <br/>
<br/>
They stare at one another, and Cain felt lost. How did shit get so fucked up? She smiled weakly</span><span style="color: #666600">, "Might be going away for a while, Gorgeous..."</span><br/><span style="color: #000000">Without warning, Cain closed the distance between them, pressing her lips to Toshi's.  To the outside? It just looked like a last desperate  kiss between estanged lovers , lasting for a few long lingering seconds. In reality? It was a plea. <br/>
<br/>
For years Cain and Toshi worked together. And in their line of work it was imparative to have a language of truth to separate from the lies. A system of simple one word modifiers that could turn the entire tide of an event. She could smile at an executive , sweet talk a mayors wife, lie all the lies in the galaxy! Then modify it with a simple touch thay meant , "Lie" , or "Truth" or yes, or no, or any one of maybe 20 modifiers they had encoded together, all while communicating silently with just the touch of a hand.<br/>
<br/>
Or in this case, mouths. <br/>
<br/>
Cains lips were warm on Toshi's and the kiss was without ulterior motives at first. But then a tiny series of three nips to the aliens bottom lip,  followed by her tongue making the signals for '</span><span style="color: #666600">Help</span><span style="color: #000000">' , ' </span><span style="color: #666600">Please</span><span style="color: #000000">' and most importantly "</span><span style="color: #666600">Sorry</span><span style="color: #000000">"  . Slowly they parted and Cain stared with silent fear...maybe the code wasn't recognized anymore? Maybe Toshi didn't care? <br/>
<br/>
She pressed thier lips together again, this time hasty and rough , not conveying anything, as she held the medic with force. She gave Toshi a a glance, knowing s</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">he was likely ea  lost cause. But not for too long, as she turned behind her, and yelled at the AI, </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0)">"We doin this, ya walking shit pile? My property is bleeding out."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
