On the whole drive back to Sabrina's apartment Miguel says nothing. Sabrina, leaning against the car window turns and looks at him. She's worried as a quiet Miguel is a troubled Miguel. She knew that much about him.. silence is NOT a good thing. She worried about what he may say.. something was bugging him. She wants so badly to have him let go of his bad feelings.. and to open up to her. The best thing she knew she could do is wait and listen. She knew too well if she pushed him.. he'd build an even bigger wall between them and he'd push further away. She knew he DIDN'T like being cornered. But she had to try to let him know.. it was okay to trust her. She reaches over with her hand and strokes the side of his face. Miguel reacts, he hair stands on end and he begins trembling. She giggles as she has always enjoyed just how sensitive he really is. She sighs and sees they are approaching her home.
Sabrina: Miguel.. how many times must I tell you.. you CAN sit on my bed. Come on I won't bite.
Miguel:[sitting on the floor] Sorry.. I just..
Sabrina:[ takes his hand and pulls him towards the bed] Come on now..I won't hurt you.
Miguel sits quietly on her bed.. just a few inches from her. Sabrina looks over at him. He's looking down and looks rather uncomfortable. She moves closer and whispers in his ear. Miguel blushes and he loses all color. Being a white tiger already.. it's quite a feat as you can imagine. She slowly begins kissing his ear and his neck. Miguel closes his eyes and sighs. Sabrina smiles as he seems to be putting up little resistance. So she moves in closer and kisses his lips and face. She removes his glasses as she continues to plant kisses on him. Satisfied.. she pulls his shirt down on shoulder.. and he stops her. She looks at him and with a frightened look on his face he looks back.
Sabrina:[plays with her hair] What's wrong?
Miguel: [looks away] Nothing. I'm..I'm sorry.
Sabrina: Miguel?
Miguel reaches over and kisses her back, much to her surprise. She closes her eyes and kisses him back. Again she pulls his shirt down one shoulder.. this time he doesn't fight her. She removes his shirt and smiles as she tosses it aside.
Sabrina: That wasn't so bad was it?[Miguel trembling shakes his head] Good.
Sabrina moves closer and kisses him again. She can actually feel his heart pounding against her chest. She strokes his head and tries to sooth him. Then it happens she sees him.. and it breaks her heart. Miguel is crying. She can't understand just what she may have done but he quietly sobs with his eyes shut tight. Sabrina backs away and thinks of what to say.
Miguel: I'm sorry. [wipes his face] I.. I can't do this. I feel so bad…
Sabrina:[takes his hand] NO! Don't feel bad. [places his hand against her heart] But you have to tell me what's wrong. I know this can't be just you being shy.
Miguel sobs and his entire body trembles. He swallows hard and straightens up. Sabrina can tell whatever is on his mind is tearing him up inside. She tries to hold him but he pushes away.
Miguel: I can't.. get close to you. Something inside me….. it… it just won't... it won't let me.
Sabrina:[looks down] Is it me?
Miguel:[looks at her and his face loses all expression] NO!! No sweetie.[kneels down next to her and takes her hands] Never would you be the problem. It's just….
Sabrina watches as Miguel seems to be fighting an inner battle inside of himself. Almost as if he fights to get what's locked up deep inside of him out. Finally he looks up at her and speaks.
Miguel: Listen to what I'm going to tell you. It's not you… I have NEVER been able to do anything like this with anyone… ever. [swallows hard] When.. when I was 4….. I.. [breathes hard] I was molested by someone in my family.
There is an unsettling silence. Sabrina's face loses all expression. She was not expecting this at all. She knew something was wrong.. but she never could have imagined it would be something like this. She tries to speak but words fail her.
Miguel; A cousin of mine… did that. It.. [shakes] it happened many times. I never told anyone cause…… I just..
Sabrina looks at him, she sees tears flowing down his face again. It tears her up inside seeing him like this. But she feels even worse as she does not know how to react to this. Finally she reaches for him and hugs him. Miguel rests his head on her shoulder and breaks down crying. Sabrina holds him tightly and strokes his head. At last she understood, it wasn't her fault. She could hear him cry and whimper.. it made her heart break. She wanted so badly to make him stop crying.. but she couldn't even figure out how she felt about this. So there they sit and after a while Miguel pulls himself together. He wipes his eyes and looks at her. Sabrina has tears in her eyes too. But from not knowing how to make him feel better or what to say to make everything okay again.
Miguel: I lost someone.. she left me because I wouldn't… [breathes hard] get intimate with her. I didn't want….
Sabrina: I'm sorry. [Miguel's ears perk up] Look if I appeared to be..... that way.. I didn't mean to.. it's just….[try as she may words will not come to her] I wanted to show you I trusted you..and I do. I felt that.. we were at a point in our relationship where…. [looks down] Oh god Miguel I'm sorry!!! Here I am pushing this on you!!! I'm trying to get you closer to me and all I'm doing is hurting you and causing you grief.
Miguel: Sabrina? That's not true at all. I tried.. I tried to shake this… but I couldn't. truth be told.. I'd like to.. get closer to you.[Sabrina picks her head up] I'd like to… try. I DO trust you.. and if I were to… I'd want to be with you. But… I can't. I'm sorry I kept this from you.. but… it's just that. Many women that I've been with freak when they find out I have issues. They all want a low maintenance guy, when they find out.. they'd rather sweep me under the rug and forget about me. I just.. didn't want to lose you.. the same way I…
Sabrina:[places her fingers on his lips] You'd never lose me Miguel. I'm here with you.. for the rest of your life. Now I understand.. what's wrong. I just feel bad that I… forced..
Miguel: Sabrina… incase you didn’t notice.. I COULD have stopped you sooner.[Sabrina plays with her hair but Miguel pulls her hand away] but I wanted to. It IS something we can work on..I think so anyway.
Sabrina:[smiles] Yes it is.
Miguel: I'm glad you understand. And I have to say[sits down next to her] I do feel better finally telling you.
Sabrina: [plays with her hair again] Miguel.. if I can ask.. does anyone know?
Miguel:[looks down] No.. not in my family. The only two people who know are you and Thomas. I never said anything to my mom or dad cause at the time.. there was a lot of friction between them.. if I told them.. they'd take sides and it would tear my family apart. My parents almost separated once.. I won't put Matt through that.
Sabrina: [strokes his face] You carry a heavy burden on you… you know that.
Miguel: I know.. but… but look at the alternative. [takes her hand] I have to carry this all inside me.. you have to see it's for the best.
Sabrina: Still.. you shouldn't have to.
Miguel: I know… but having you with me.. makes it all the more easy.
Sabrina:[smiles and kisses him] That's right.. if it gets too much for you.. let me carry a bit of the weight okay?
Miguel: [smiles] Okay.
Miguel moves in close and kisses her. Sabrina suddenly starts to giggle. Miguel pulls away and frowns at her.
Miguel: What did I say about…
Sabrina: Oh drop it….. you had something in mind didn't you.[eyes him slyly]
Miguel:[tilts his head] Huh?
Sabrina: Well I just noticed you wanted to come HERE.. in my bedroom to talk things out.. strikes me as rather odd.[cracks a smile]
Miguel: Um…[sweating]
Sabrina: Oh you planned to go through with it one way or another didn't you?
Miguel: I was going to try..[lowers his head] for you. But..I…
Sabrina:[moves closer and kisses his ear and whispers] So bold…. I'm rather proud of you.[bites his ear]
Miguel: [glares at her] Hey..I can be bold!!
Sabrina:[covers her muzzle as she giggles] I'm sure you could.
Miguel: Oh yeah?
Miguel moves in close and kisses her. Sabrina softly giggles as Miguel growls. The Sabrina's eyes enlarge as she hears the sound of something unzipping. She turns and looks behind her and sees Miguel undoing her pants. She looks at him and gives him a look.
Sabrina: Sometimes.. I wonder if you're just PLAYING innocent. [reaches back and zips it back up as Miguel whimpers] What's with you?[makes a face] Oh I'm sorry did I ruin your attempt at being bold? [smiles at him]
Miguel: No..not really…[face turns red] My hand is stuck.
Sabrina looks at him rather oddly, then she looks back sees his hand inside her pants in the back. She glares at him.
Sabrina: You mind pulling your hand out?!
Miguel: [sweating] I can't.. your pants are too tight.
Sabrina: Geez. [turns back and tries to undo the zipper again but it won't budge] It's stuck!!! Can't you pull your hand free?
Miguel: [changing colors] I can't.. the zipper stuck cause it's…. [winces] caught on my fur.
Sabrina: MIGUEL!!! [gets up off the bed and Miguel falls] Get up!!
Miguel: [gets up] Man.. this is what I get for being bold!! Never again!!
Sabrina:[breaths deeply and brushes her hair back] Okay.. let's calm down.
Miguel: Calm down? My hand is stuck down your pants!!! I mean geez.. I'll get pats on the back for trying this but you.. your rep will be tarnished!!
Sabrina:[looks at him and chuckles] Only guy I know who'd worry about my reputation more than his own. [tugs at the zipper] Okay come on you stupid thing.
Miguel: Man.. we're going to have to get help.
Sabrina:[looks at him with a panic stricken face] You WANT to be seen like this?![tugs at the zipper again] Come on you dumb thing!!
Miguel: OW!! STOP!! THAT HURTS!!!
Sabrina:[covers his mouth] Shhhhhh. Just calm down.
Miguel: [whimpers] I'm sorry about all of this Sabrina.. I told you.. if you wait long enough I make an ass out of myself.. this time I dragged you along with me.
Sabrina: Do I look upset? I admit before I was.. but.. you got to admit..[giggles] this is sorta funny.
Miguel:[glares at her] Sure..mock my pain.
Sabrina: [hugs him] It's my pain too tiger. We're stuck together remember?
Miguel: Yeah.. just wish it would be in a better way.[rests his head on her]
Sabrina: Okay.. you calm now?[Miguel nods] Good.
Sabrina pats him on the back then suddenly gives a huge quick jerk on the zipper and gets it open. Miguel's eyes widen and fill with tears as he grabs his hand.
Sabrina: There we go.[zips her pants up again]
Miguel holding his hand tries to cry out but no sound comes out of his mouth. He flails his arm about madly.
Sabrina: Here .[reaches across her bed and grabs her pillow and hands it to him] bite down on my pillow.
Miguel takes it and bites down hard. He whimpers as he sits back down on her bed. Sabrina sits down next to him and pats him on the back and lays his head on her shoulder.
Sabrina: There, there.. sorry I had to do that.. but it beats years of embarrassment don't it?[Miguel nods as tears flow down his face]
Amy:[in the other room] OOOOOOOOOOOOHH THOMAS!!!!
Sabrina and Miguel stay there in shock then burst out laughing. Sabrina shushes herself as does Miguel.
Miguel: Man.. they're still at it? Geez.. I hope I have that much stamina.
Sabrina:[eyes him slyly] So do I. [Miguel in a flash is on the other side of the bed] Oh come on.. did the bold pill wear off? [giggles]
After a while Miguel and Sabrina are sitting on the couch as Thomas and Amy come out of the bedroom. Sabrina starts to crack up and Miguel tries to shush her.
Amy: Um..[sweating] You guys just get back?
Sabrina: Um.. yeah..[rolls her eyes] Just now, we didn't hear a thing.
Miguel: Yeah.. we heard something that sounded like you.. but it was much too loud.. must have been a jet breaking the sound barrier.
Sabrina:[bursts into laughter] MIGUEL!!
Thomas and Amy look at each other and then slowly walk out the door. Sabrina with tears in her eyes watches them leave then bursts into laughter again followed by Miguel.
Miguel: Let do ourselves a favor, if we do um.. you know.. let's go to my place. That way the only thing we can frighten is the woodland creatures nearby.
Sabrina: [eyes him slyly] Ooo it's a date.
Miguel: [sweating] Um.. just don't..um start making plans ..okay?
Sabrina: Darn.[looks away then looks back at him and winks] I was already planning my wardrobe.
Miguel:[rubs her nose with his] Why.. you wouldn't be wearing it long.
Sabrina:[pulls back blushing] Mi..Miguel?
Miguel:[red faced, giggling like mad] See? Now you know how I feel.
Sabrina looks at him then chuckles to herself. Miguel moves closer and kisses her. Sabrina closes her eyes and sighs. Miguel slowly strokes her hair and sings to himself.
<"Me Japanese Boy" ,song by Pizzicato 5>
Miguel: Long long ago
In a land far away
A little boy and a girl
Were so in love
Standing beneath the moon above
He said
Me Japanese boy I love you
I do.. love you
You Japanese girl do you love me?
Please say..you do
Sabrina listens and giggles. She moves in close and wraps her arms around him and sings back.
Sabrina: They carved their names
In an old cherry tree
Just like they've done
In Japan
Since time began
Then she gently
Held his hand
And said
Me Japanese girl
I love you
I do.. love you
You Japanese boy do you love me
Please say..you do.
Miguel:[a bit taken back] Didn't know you liked Pizzicato 5 gypsy-gal.
Sabrina: [smiles and lays her head on his chest] Yeah..[looks up at him] Think they'll mind that I took a bit of creative license with the last verse?
Miguel: I won't tell if you won't. [rests his head on hers and continues to sing]
Now they are old
And from what
I am told
They're still in love
Just as much
As they once were
[ He picks his head up as Sabrina picks hers up and looks at him]
Every night he kisses her
[Miguel kisses her gently]
And says
Me Japanese boy
I love you
I do love you
That is the way that it should be
When love is true
Sabrina: [moves in close to kiss him again]
That is the way that it should be
For me.. and.. you.
They she kisses him as they both lay down on the couch. Suddenly, they roll over and fall out of the couch. Sabrina sits up on Miguel.
Sabrina: You okay?
Miguel:[reaches under his back as pulls out Silverbolt] OW!! STUPID BIRD-DOG!!! You killed my pa and now you've come back for me!!!
Sabrina:[takes Silverbolt from him] Um.. I really don't know how he got out here. I remember leaving him in my room.[sets him on the table] You okay tiger?
Miguel: [rubs his back] Yeah.. it takes more than a Deluxe Fusor to take me out. I once fell on Transmetal 2 Megatron.. and he's all sharp and pointy.
Sabrina: [laughs] Makes you wish Nerf made Transformers huh?
Sabrina lays on him with her hands clasped together on his chest and her chin resting on them.
Miguel: [looks up at her] Nah.. they'd be hell to transform then.. not to mention Megatron from the second Beast Wars line would look like Barney.
Sabrina:[giggles] Um.. is that the Transmetal one Megatron?
Miguel: No.. that's the T-Rex Megatron.. cause the first Beast Wars Megatron was an Alligator.
Sabrina: [Adjusts her glasses] That's right.. and Prime was a Bat. But still the T-rex Megatron isn't really the 2nd line of toys you know.
Miguel: Yeah but you're talking to a guy who doesn't accept Generation 2 as a toy line, only cool thing to come out of that was the Tank Megatron.
Sabrina: [thinks} Say Miguel… do you think we're freaks cause we know so much about a line of toys?
Miguel: No… I just see us as the only two hepcats in a world of squares.
Sabrina: I feel better now.. after hearing that.. it shows[smiles] YOU'RE the freak.
Miguel: [eyes narrow] Gee I feel SO loved.
Sabrina:[coos] Oh poor tiger.[kisses his nose] I STILL love you…even if you are a freak.
Miguel: Sabby.. a word of advice.. hybrids are VERY sensitive about being called freaks okay?
Sabrina: Okay Miggy.[giggles]
Miguel: Okay that's it.[gets up and pushes her off] I don't have to take this.
Sabrina:[sits back up] Hey.. I was only playing. [crawls after him] Come back.. [wraps around his leg and looks up at him] Don't leave me.. it's Amy's turn to cook!!
Miguel: [looks at her] Boy that's cold. Wanna grab some Chinese and hit my place?
Sabrina: Great.[she helps her to her feet and holds her by her waist. She looks into his eyes as she notices something missing] Um.. you need your glasses…I'll [points to her room] I'll go get them.
Miguel: Okay.. but don't be long.[half smile]
Sabrina runs off to her room and looks on the floor and gets his specs. She then grabs her backpack and heads out with Miguel. Later Sabrina is sitting on the floor eating fried shrimp and rice as Miguel sits on his chair upside down with his head on the floor.
Miguel: Moving out?[eats some orange chicken]
Sabrina:[looks at her backpack] We had such a lovely time at our last sleep over I thought it be nice to do it again.[smiles]
Miguel:[raises an eyebrow] And.. you planed this in advance?
Sabrina: Um well….[puts her chopsticks down in her box of rice] promise you won't get mad?
Miguel: You'd have to do something really lousy to me for me to get mad.
Sabrina: I..[plays with her hair] I made plans to.. you know.[Miguel eyes her] Well this was.. um.. last night..I had been planning such a thing.. and well.. you know.. I hadn't planned so much actually.. but I thought being prepared wouldn't hurt so I packed that way.. as odd and unpredictable as our lives have become..
Miguel: You're rambling sweetie..[shakes his head and smiles] I'm not mad.
Sabrina:[places her hand on her chest and exhales] Good. I just wanted to be prepared for when I did have a chance well you know.
Miguel: [chuckles to himself] Gee did you pack a cyanide pill in case you mission went wrong and you were captured behind enemy lines?
Sabrina:[makes a face and lightly hits him with a pillow from the couch] Very funny.
Miguel: Well now.. I don't know if I can trust you know.. I mean you were going to seduce me afterall.
Sabrina: I promise to behave okay… I know now.. so I won't try a thing.
Miguel: In that case…FORGET IT!! [gets hit with the pillow again] What I say?
Sabrina: Nothing.[gets up] May I use…
Miguel: You don't have to ask.. go right ahead. Like I wanna know.[shakes his head]
Sabrin:[crosses her arms] Aww so much for my very detailed and GRAPHIC description of what I had to do.[walks off]
Miguel: Just have a report on my desk by tomorrow. [a pillow comes sailing in and hits him] Where the heck did you get that from!!!
Sabrina:[pokes her head out of the bathroom door] Nowhere really.. the writer just thought it be funny.[closes the door]
Miguel makes a face then gets up and walks into the next room he opens the power box and pulls a switch titled bathroom.
Sabrina:[from behind the bathroom door] TURN THE LIGHTS BACK ON!!!!
Miguel laughs as he lays on the floor once more and continues eating. A bit later Miguel has a huge lump on his head and Sabrina is eating angrily HIS food.
Miguel:[looks at her sadly] That was mine you know?
Sabrina:[makes a face] It WAS. [eats it faster] And just WHY do you have a phone in your bathroom anyway?
Miguel: Cause.[tries to get some food from her but she pulls away] No one ever calls me unless I'm busy or ..um in there so I decided to just put one in there.. oddly enough I stopped getting calls.
Sabrina: I don't blame them.. it's odd talking to someone while they're in the bathroom.[glares at him] And calling me while I was in the dark in there was not funny!!
Miguel:[smiles] Oh come on sweetie.. didn't like my Hannibal the Cannibal impression? "Hello Claris "
Sabrina: Miguel… do you ever think about us?
Miguel: Ah yes Sabrina 2000, can turn subjects on a dime.. and still give you change. Sleek, stylish.. and even has a racing stripe down the middle.
Sabrina: Okay.. change in subject..[adjusts her specs] Just.. that's what I was thinking about in there before ..
Miguel: The lights went out in Georgia?
Sabrina:[glares at him] Yeah.
Miguel: I told you before.. that I do.[points to her choker] And that's why I gave you that.
Sabrina;[smiles] I know but….. do you.. ever think of me living here with you?
Miguel: Man..[sits up] I'd never see my bathroom again.[gets hit with a pillow. Then looks at her] Is this a theme with you?
Sabrina: ANYway.. I'm serious. Do you think I could ever.. you know..shack up with you.. as they say.
Miguel: Isn't that also called "living in sin"?
Sabrina: Yesssssss[looks at him sternly] Are you taking this seriously?
Miguel: [looks at her and blinks] You're serious? Oh.. I had no idea you actually thought about moving in with me.
Sabrina: Well..[puts some orange chicken in his mouth] Not like say tomorrow.. but yeah.. one day.
Miguel: No.. I hadn't though of it really. I wouldn't want you living with me here.. in a REAL house with real furniture maybe.. but I thought you know.. that be like.. when we got married.
Sabrina: And you'd get a real home.. just so we could have a nice place to spend the rest of our lives together in?
Miguel: No.. so you'd have a nice home.. that I provided for you. Gypsygal.. I only keep this place cause only "I" live here.. and I barely stay here as it is mi amor. That's why I don't have much furniture. I wouldn't want you living in a place like this.. I'd want you to have a real home.. with more than one bathroom.. LOTS of furniture… and a TV for crying out loud. I want things to be perfect.. for you.
Sabrina:[smiles] Tiger? I'd be happy anywhere as long as you were there with me. Sides[looks around] this place isn't so bad. There's plenty of room for me and my legion of transformers. Speaking of which..[looks at him]
Miguel: When you DO move in.. I'll show you.. "the Vault"
Sabrina:[gets up] I'll go get my stuff.
Miguel:[grabs her by her shirt and sits her back down] VERY funny. I hope that's not the ONLY reason you move in with me?
Sabrina: [plays with her hair] No.. of coarse not..it's just a perk.[winks at him]
Miguel: I see…well..[looks past her at her backpack on the couch] What's in the bag?
Sabrina: Stuff.
Miguel: Like?
Sabrina: Um..[plays with her hair] something.. I was saving.. for.. um you know?
Miguel: Really now?[grins] can I see?
Sabrina: No.. um it's a surprise for when we…
Miguel: Aw.. but how do you know that when I see it I won't be so over run with passion I'll take you right here right now.
Sabrina: Miguel.[eyes narrow] This is still YOU we're talking about right?
Miguel: Yeah.. but come on..I wanna know.
Sabrina: Aw so you gots to know? [giggles] Well okay.. it's a Chinese blouse.
Miguel: WOW!! THAT'S… [faces changes expression] unimaginative.
Sabrina: HEY!!! I'll have you know I had to go to 12 different shops to get this.. then [lowers her head] ZigZag finally gave it to me.
Miguel: [eats some orange chicken and makes a face] You find help in the strangest places now a days.
Sabrina: Anyway.. it's kinda almost like a miniskirt so.. well.. it's purple at least.
Miguel; [stands up] PURPLE?!?! Why didn't you say so?!?[picks her up] Let's go.
Sabrina: MIGUEL?!?!?
Miguel: Oh right.[grabs the backpack with his tail] Okay let's go!!
Sabrina: That's not what I meant!!![kicks]
Anyway a bit later Miguel is laying in his bed staring at the ceiling. Sabrina is laying next to him in the purple Chinese blouse. It reaches down to only about mid thigh.
Sabrina: So.. run out of steam already?
Miguel: Bite me.. like I was really gonna take you. Just wanted to see you in that.[rolls over on his side and looks at her] I must say…. You take this tigres breath away.
Sabrina:[tugs down on the blouse] Thanks.. but I know you're just humoring me.
Miguel: Huh? No way. I mean it…. You look so nice.. it's hard for me to control myself.. trust me.. it's VERY hard to just look and not touch.
Sabrina: If you say so.[sighs]
Miguel makes a face then looks down. Sabrina looks over at him and tilts her head. She smiles and picks his chin up.
Sabrina: You really think I'm pretty?
Miguel: No.[Sabrina loses all expression] I think your beautiful.
Sabrina: [smiles] Thanks.
Cain: You know it's times like this I really want to just up chuck my guts all over the bedroom carpet.
A small version of Can pops up in a dark looking background. He is red in contrast to the ebony backdrop.
Cain: Hiya..it's me again. I've been sitting back and watching the creampuff make an ass out of himself and get all lovey dovey with the skunk… and.. I’m SO SICK OF IT!!! Do you really think these two will end up together? I have half a mind to go over there and slap some sense in you. Yes Miguel with his Noble heart.. well a noble heart will do nothing to you but get you dead. Why do I say that.. well watch this flashback and you'll see. What you're about to see happened just a few short hours ago.
Miguel sits at his desk. His cell phone rings and after a few rings he answers it. On the other line is Sabrina.
Sabrina: Hey tiger,.
Miguel: Hey there gal.. what's up?
Sabrina: Nothing just, wanted to say I had a nice time last night?
Miguel:[makes a face] really? I thought you were with me last night?
Sabrina:[winces] Very funny.
Cain:[pops in] Boy he really is a smooth talker isn't he? The way he just woos that girl. Fact of the matter is.. I'd like to jump her.. in every sense of the word. But Miguel won't allow me such fun. Thinks he's all good and pure. Let me tell you something.. he's not a good as he appears.
Miguel: So um next time.. you bring that cute outfit again?
Sabrina:[grins] Depend what do you have in mind?
Miguel: [smiles]A cook out.
Sabrina: Bye Miguel.[hangs up the phone] Geez.[goes back to work]
Cain: Didn't I tell you? Oh here comes the best part folks. Pay attention cause it will all be over.. in a shot.
Miguel goes to the bank to go deposit money. However for Miguel he picked the worst time to do so. A panther in a long dark coat and glasses walks into the bank. And fires a few shots in the air. The bank is being help up. Miguel stands motionless as it unfolds. The panther grabs a catgirl.. no more than 4 and demands all the money be turned over to him. Miguel just watches. The little girl cries out for her mother… and Miguel just watches. The mother tries to get her child back but the panther hits her across the face with his gun. Miguel just watches.
Cain:[pops back in] Wanna know what he's thinking folks? He's scared. And he's mad. He's mad at himself for not doing anything. He wants to save this little girl but he's scared. Scared to die? No.. he's afraid of … no I won't tell you. Let's see if you can figure it out.
The panther yells at the mother for trying to take the child. No one else does anything. Miguel trembles as he sees the panther shake up the kid badly for crying.
Cain: Oh yes that's it!! Get mad.. get mad.
Miguel:[trembles and makes a fist] I'm sorry Sabrina.
Cain: Did you hear that?! Yes.. he has something to live for now.. so he's afraid to get hurt or killed cause…[sees Miguel move] WHAT IS HE DOING!!?? NO!!!
Miguel grabs the panther's gun and grabs him by the throat. Outside a gunshot is heard as, well as scream of terror. The police arrive and rush inside. They spot a mother and her child huddled together. The girl has blood on her but it's not hers. The panther is on the floor choking as the police subdue him. However next to him in a pool of blood is Miguel…. not moving at all.
END OF CHAPTER 6
