Ruby loves fighting, especially against someone she hates as much as she hates Charlie Barkin.
"That's right, Killer," she sneers. "Back off and let a professional do this the way it should be done."
OOC: Killer, JP wanted me to tell you that the tapes are on their way!! ^_________^

This is it for Charlie. It's now or never. In a blink maneuver, he whirls on Killer, painfully freeing his tail from the old dog's jaws. He jumps him, knocking him over and landing squarely on top of him. They both go sliding quite a ways down the piping and, when they stop, Charlie grabs Killer around the neck and repeatedly slams the back of his head against the metal floor hard. He keeps it up until Killer ceases to struggle, then, with one final slam, he releases him, then jumps over his body and makes a run for it, knowing he has to get away from the two females. Fighting them as good as they are in such a small space would be suicide on his part. His nails and paws scraping and pounding through the pipes, he manages to crash through a broken grate and end up in the main part of the casino, where he proceeds to find a fast escape route before either Hedge or Ruby or both pursue him.

OOC- *gigantic, enormous Killer grin* Alright! Thanks, Ruby! BIC- Killer didn't go down without a fight--not by a long shot. He had struggled for all he was worth until Charlie managed to knock him unconscious. He knows he got one good dig in on Charlie's chest just before everything goes black and silent. He lies completely motionless as Charlie makes his getaway, appearing as dead as they come to anyone just looking at him.

Ruby isn't about to let her prey get away from her. With a wicked grin she chases Charlie down the path he took, knowing the direction because of the loud way his feet pounded on the pipes. It isn't long before she's caught up to him.
"Heh. Charlie Barkin," she sneers. "Who'da thought it? Charlie Barkin cornered by---Horrors!!---a female." She advances steadily, baring her teeth.

Charlie whirls to face Ruby, bristling and snarling, but seeming smug and self-satisfied at the same time after his successful assault on Killer. "Doesn't matter what you do now," he grins nastily, running his tongue over his teeth, "It's not going to bring that sap back. Not that I suspect you care. If I recall correctly, you hate the old geezer as much as I do. So what's your point in coming after me? You should be glad I got rid of him for you."

Itchy who has woken up in his shack from a bad nightmare went to check on Charlie in his cab, but he wasn't there? "Gee, I wonder where Charlie is? He sure has been sneeking off with out me lately..." Itchy very suspisious, he has no idea where Charlie is and what is going on??!?! So he sets off for Carface's place, even though he's very afarid of beling alone in the dark of the night. When he finaly arives. he peeks in an open window as is might be dangerious for him to just walk in the front door of the ship, he spots his boss Charile and a familler dog named Ruby. "Charile?....What's? What's going on??!?! Charlie! Your hurt!" Itchy noticed the srapes and cuts on Charlie. "Charile did, did Carface and his thugs do this to you? why, why are you here? Ruby it's very dangerious here, you should leave with us!" Itchy has NO IDEA what has been happing, he does NOT know that Charlie was just in a fearsome fight with Hedge and Killer and Ruby, he has no idea why Charile is there and knows NOTHING of the tention between Hedge and Charlie yet along Killer and Ruby as well. OOC: I read the whole thread, but Itchy has no idea;-)

Ruby snorts. She's about to reply when Itchy comes in and she turns her attention to him instead. "Why do you hang around this fleabag loser?" she growls at Itchy. "Don't you know what he's been up to?!" She shakes her head. "What am I saying? Of course you don't. You idolize him, even though you shouldn't."
She pauses and begins to pace a circle around Charlie threateningly, all the while still speaking to Itchy. "He's hurt because he was out tryin' to off Carface's mangy lackey and the guy's Great Dane girlfriend was defendin' him. Are these cuts and scrapes on his body some sorta badge of courage? I don't think so.
"I may be a sharp-shooting, dangerous woman," she says now, "but at least I go to the hearts of problems instead of fooling around with lower steps on the ladder. I dunno what Barkin here expects to gain from offin' Killer, but maybe you should reconsider hangin' around him. You think?" She tosses her head. "You don't realize it, kid, but this guy's no prize. I don't know what you see in him." She continues to circle Charlie and waits for Itchy's response.

Hedge knows that Charlie's escape is only temporary since Ruby is hot on his heels... so, she turns her attention to Killer...
"Killer, why don't you ever listen to me?" Hedge speaks softly and gently strokes the older dog's face. "Why did you have to go and try to be a hero?"
Somehow, she manages to grab Killer in her teeth by his scruff and begins to slowly drag him back to 'his' room... Hoping to get a response from Killer she says, "Whew, you are a heavy old boy... and I think most of it is in your butt!"
Hedge thinks about Charlie and her anger is aroused once again... but, she's patient... She knows she'll run into him again, but for the moment, this ole boy needs her...

"Don't listen to her...or any other crooked mutt around here, Itch, for that matter," Charlie snaps, shaking Itchy off his face, "Killer's been taken care of...heh-heh...very well taken care of. And don't worry your little dachshund head about Hedge. She's none of your concern. As for Ruby...hmph...she's in for it...big time."

Killer is vaguely aware of what's happening as only a few strands of his senses remain intact. Once down in his office, he can barely make out Hedge's voice, though it sounds distant. Struggling to pull himself out of the mental fog, he manages to just barely get his eyes open to see a blurry golden form towering above him.
"Anybody...ooh...get the license plate on that truck? Oh-ho..." he groans, hardly having any knowledge of where he is, but as his vision starts to settle, he recognizes his friend, "Hedge? W-what happened? Did I get him?"
He starts to sit up, then realizes that's a bad idea as the room suddenly goes into a spin cycle and his head throbs. Slowly, with a sickened groan, he lays back down, at which point, the room settles--as does his stomach.

I don't know WHAT has gottin into you Charile! Your LIYING and not telling me something!!!" *Itchy sheds a few tears and calms his voice as he don't know what's up with his pal, He is not siding with Ruby, not meaning he's againts her, but he's upset with his pal/boss for saying such things* "Charlie?...Charlie, Somethings not right with you now, your not acting like yourself, Think of what Anne Marrie has taugh you, Annibell, Shasha, why even David! Even me Charlie! Your not like this, not anymore.

Knowing Killer will be okay (she hopes), Hedge heads in the direction Charlie and Ruby took... stopping and perking her ears, she hears a familiar voice... Itchy!!! Hedge picks up her pace and turns down an alley... spots Charlie and Ruby... and Itchy... pads quietly up to Itchy... "Did you say Bellidonna? Itchy! I think you might be on to something here... Don't cry..." Takes off the treasured bandana that her master had given her the day she was taken form him and dabs the tears from Itchy's eyes... "Itch, you may have to join forces with Killer and me, temporarily, while we research this a bit... Don't worry, Ruby will take care of Charlie... she doesn't want to kill... just torment and tease, right Ruby?"

Maybe you can't keep a good dog down, but apparently, you can't keep a bad dog down either. Killer makes this statement true to a certain extent as he manages to drag his staggering body up the stairs and out into the casino.
"Hedge? Hedge, where are ya?" he calls, bumping into things as, sadly, he seems to have lost his glasses in that scuffle with Charlie, "Hedge? Ruby? Yoo-hoo? Boss? Anybody?"
When he trips and falls down small set of steps, it's the last straw. He resorts to crawling...very slowly, still calling out the names of anyone he'd consider a friend.

"The truth? You want the truth?" Charlie snarls, whirling to slam his nose into Itchy's, "I'll tell you the truth and I'll give it to you straight--I don't like Hedge. There. Happy? I don't like her. And where Killer is concerned, what do you care? You don't like him any more than I do, am I right? Why should you care if I bump him off--give him a one-way ticket straight to where he belongs?"
