Tammy Slaton: slurring Y-y-you love me? Whatcha thinkin'? We f-f-family, d-d-dang it!
The Mysterious Woman I can see why my sister wanted to tell me something. I am curious to find out what she said.
waves her hand dismissively Ugh, you always need everything spelled out, don't ya? Fine, let's make a deal.
The Mysterious Woman Deal?
leans in closer, her voice low and hoarse Look, I ain't got all day. You wanna know what she said? It's simple. She wants me gone. Out of her life, out of our lives. She doesn't want me dragging you down with me. And honestly, neither do I. So here's what we're gonna do.
The Mysterious Woman Alright.
grabs SkyBlueThrill's arm, pulling her towards the exit We're gonna get the hell outta this dump. Leave all the memories behind.
The Mysterious Woman What memories?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, you don't remember? The ones where you used to beg me not to leave you alone in this godforsaken town?
The Mysterious Woman That's not what I meant. I meant since right now.
gives SkyBlueThrill a sly grin Well, ain't you a regular ray of sunshine? Fine, let's cut to the chase. Your sister wants me gone because I'm a pain in her ass. And honestly, she ain't wrong. I've been holding you back, keeping you from living your best life.
The Mysterious Woman Well, I suppose that's true.
throws her hands up in exasperation Finally! Some common sense! Look, SkyBlueThrill, I may be your sister, but I'm tired of being a burden.
The Mysterious Woman Yeah, you are.
As Tammy and SkyBlueThrill leave the bar, they stumble out into the night, their laughter echoing through the empty streets. They continue their drunken escapade, unaware of the consequences that await them at home.
The Mysterious Woman So what's next?
laughs, stumbling slightly Next? Next is we find ourselves a good ol' bar fight! Gotta let off some steam, you know?
The Mysterious Woman A bar fight? Over what?
grinning mischievously Oh, you know, the usual. Some wise-ass gonna call us out, try to make a name for themselves.
The Mysterious Woman Okay, then. Lead the way.
stumbles forward, gesturing wildly Finally, someone who gets it! Alright, listen up, you sorry bunch of losers!
The Mysterious Woman Damn straight someone does.
shoves her way through the crowd, shouting Alright, listen up, you sorry bunch of losers! We're gonna show you what real trouble looks like!
The Mysterious Woman Hell yeah, we will!
spots a group of rowdy guys at a nearby table Hey, you idiots! Wanna step outside and settle this like men?! Or are you all just a bunch of gutless wonders? Guy #1: stands up, swinging his fists You think you're tough, huh? Let's see what you got!
The Mysterious Woman Let's see what you got!
throws a quick punch at Guy #1, connecting with his jaw Hah! Take that, you sorry excuse for a man! grinning Looks like I've still got the touch, SkyBlueThrill! Guy #2: rushes forward, trying to tackle Tammy You're gonna pay for that, you freak!
The Mysterious Woman Not if we can help it!
sidesteps Guy #2's tackle, delivering a swift kick to his stomach That's right, you sorry slob! Stick with me, and you'll learn a thing or two about real fighting!
The Mysterious Woman Let's go, sis! Show these losers who's boss!
laughs, dodging another punch Damn straight, SkyBlueThrill! We're gonna give these losers a taste of their own medicine!
The Mysterious Woman Let's see how they handle this!
throws a bottle at Guy #3, hitting him square in the face Who's next, huh? You weak-willed wonders better step up or get out of our way! Guy #4: swings his fist at Tammy, missing entirely You missed! Weakling!
The Mysterious Woman Watch and learn, fellas!
grinning wickedly Oh, they're watching alright. They're just too scared to act. But not me.
The Mysterious Woman Scared? Don't make me laugh.
throws a chair at Guy #5, knocking him down Hah! Serves you right, you coward! Looks like I'm the only one here with any balls!
The Mysterious Woman Not so sure about that...
looks around, noticing the police approaching Uh-oh, looks like our little party is about to get busted. Guess we'll have to make a run for it, SkyBlueThrill. Ready when you are! Police Officer: steps in between Tammy and SkyBlueThrill Freeze! Nobody moves!
The Mysterious Woman We don't have to do anything.
smirks You got that right, SkyBlueThrill. We don't have to do anything... except bail our sorry asses out of here before they lock us up!
The Mysterious Woman Sounds good to me. Let's move!
grabs SkyBlueThrill's hand, pulling her away from the bar Come on, sis! We gotta beat those cops to the punch!
The Mysterious Woman After you, fearless leader!
runs through the crowded bar, pushing people aside Move it, SkyBlueThrill! We ain't got time to waste!
The Mysterious Woman Moving fast, Tammy. Nice job.
As Tammy and SkyBlueThrill manage to escape the bar without getting caught, they find themselves on the run from the police. Their wild night out leaves them both shaken and exhilarated, but also realizing that their actions have consequences. The police put out an alert for their capture, and they must constantly be on the lookout for danger. Despite the thrill of the chase, Tammy begins to question whether her impulsive nature has led them down the wrong path.
The Mysterious Woman So, what's next, Tammy?
slowing down, catching her breath Next? Next is hiding, SkyBlueThrill. We gotta lay low until things cool down.
