Disclaimer: I dreamed they were mine once...but then I awoke. Nope, not mine, still belong to Trilogy, Mirish, MGM, CBS and TNN...the latest in a series to try and keep us apart.

Rated: R for violent content

Characters: Vin, Chris and JD

Synopsis: Returning to town, Chris, Vin and JD are waylaid by an old enemy of Chris’ (hell, if it weren’t for his old enemies there’d be a lot less stories out there!). The man gives Chris a choice: Take a bullet and die at dawn, or watch one of his friends suffer dawn to dusk torture. Chris is ready to die, but Vin has other ideas. Hey, he’s OUR Robin Hood, after all! JD faces his own suffering, and a bad case of ‘survivor’s guilt.’

Notes: Sometimes I need to hurt Vin...what can I say? This time I gave Chris the angst, because Muse needs something to sustain her. This story contains violence to a child, which may offend some of you. If you think it might, do us both a favor and don’t read it. I’ve warned you, so I’m not taking responsibility for any injured sensibilities! There’s also nudity in this story...y’know I’ve come to realize I strip these boys down just a tad too often...HA!

I prefer the nice kind, but respond to criticism if I deem it worthy. Petty stuff will be ignored or brought up and chuckled over from time to time.
