Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys

I grabbed ahold of Girl as Show Pony fired at the Dracs. At the last possible moment, I looked up. On the hood of the Trans Am, laid the body of Jet Star. He was sprawled out, and a large, smoking wound was right on his chest. The the glass doors, was Fun Ghoul. He, too, was dead. Shot in there shoulder. Kobra Kid was on his side, limp, surrounded by Draculoids who were beginning to put him in a white, Better Living Industries body bag. Against the wall, was Party Poison. He was slouched over and Korse was standing above him.
"No!" I screamed, wrapping my arm around a crying Grace. "No, it can't be!"
"Hit the red line Cherri" Show Pony yelled.
"On it" she replied. I couldn't do anything, but hold onto Grace. I held onto her as tightly as I could.
"They killed them!" She wailed. "They killed them!"
"Its okay. Gracie. It's okay" she just sobbed into my chest. She couldn't stop.
It was probably harder on her. She had known Party Poison for so much longer then I had, and he was almost like her dad. He had cared for her. He made sure that Better Living Industries stayed away from her. But, he was gone now. Not only that, he died in front of her. Her best friend, and the person in had fallen for, died. At least that stupid Radio Rash didn't take him. I didn't notice it, but true sun
I leaned against the desk in Doctor Death Defying's radio room. Grace had finally fallen asleep after the insanity that had happened, especially since it was now two in the afternoon and she hadn't slept all night. Show Pony sat next to her and kept watch. Now that when was back with us, Korse would be after her again. We would have to keep her hidden. I knew exactly what to do. Party Poison made me promise that in would take care of her, and in wasn't going to break that promise. I had never been the type of girl who would do that.
I had spent my life running. When I was younger, I had been asked by Doctor Death Defying to be a smuggler for him. He said 'you are the perfect size and have connections,. Not a lie, since I was barely five foot. My size had allowed me to do many things. I didn't smuggle drugs like most people thought. I stole medicines, food, and things to help the zone rats. It was my calling. I knew that. Then, Party Poison ruined at least four years of work in just one night. He came into my life on a whim, and exited it in a blaze of glory.
"Doll" I heard Dr. D say as he wheeled himself into the room.
"Yes, boss"
"I suspect you and Party Poison agreed on something to do with our little crash queen"
"Yeah. I'm gonna take care of her''
"Good."
"Is there anyone against that?'' I asked.
"I'm sure there will be, since you've only known Party Poison for a couple days"
"I know. But, you're my boss. In listen to whatever you say."
"I say, you do what he asked. Poison obviously trusted you enough to entrust Grace's safety with you" I nodded in agreement.
"I don't fucking agree with that" I heard Show Pony say. "Girl doesn't know her. She won't want to go any where with her"
"I'm not taking her away"
"Girl belongs here. With people she knows and people who love her. Not a wave head that Poison just met" he argued. He was right, non one really knew me except Dr. D. But I didn't want to fail the people I cared about.
"I'm not here to fuck people over, Pony." I retorted. "I will not take Girl out of a place where she feels safe."
"Better not,"
"Dolly!'' I heard Grace cry from the other room. My instinct struck, and I ran out of the room. I actually panicked.
In the only bedroom in the building, Grace sat crying in Dr. D's only bed. She had taken off her shoes and vest, and was using the vest as muffler form her sobs. I sat next to her and gathered her in my arms.
"Shhhh. Its okay" I said, trying to calm her. It took her a moment to calm down, and when she did, she was able to look at me.
"They were there. They were with me" she sniffled.
"Its okay. I'm here."
"I want them back"
"I do too,Grace. I do too."
"Dolly!" Agent Cherri Cola yelled, running into the room. "S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W Unit is a mile away. We need you to put of the signal blocker."
"I'll do it right now" I replied. "Grace, I will be right back. Okay. But I need you to get under the bed in case the blocker doesn't work." She nodded really fast and crawled on to the floor. I got up and ran into the main radio room, opening up Dr. D's shitty computer. With just a few taps at the keys, I was able to pull up their screen and blocked our heat signature.
"They're coming closer. Dolly , go to Grace and stay quiet." Dr. D order. I didn't even bother arguing with him, and I ran info then bed room, climbing under the bed and wrapping my arms around a very scared Girl. We waited in silence as the sounds of cars and tires came closer to us. I knew if I moved, and my security system failed, we would die. Korse would have Girl, again. Better Living Industries would have won. I promised him I would watch her. Poison would never forgive me if anything happend to her.
The sound of tires grew distant. I knew we were safe. But for how long? How long would we have before he found us. Before he took this poor kid and killed her. Or worse, use her knowledge to destroy everything in the Zones. Over my dead body.

Notes

I hope it is clear enough that this chapter is through the point of view of Dolly Pop. This will on;y last a couple more chapters though.
