"Trust me? Listen sister, I'm not the one sneaking around and sticking guns in people's faces. Besides," Victor said with a grin, "I haven't given you any reasons not to trust me... yet." He chuckled. "Kidding, kidding," he said to emphasize that he was being sarcastic. He relaxed a bit after watching how she had been carrying herself so far. He doubted that she was about to kill anyone right now. He took a step forward and nonchalantly reached inside his coat to pull out a toothpick and started to chomp on it. "What's a pretty girl like yourself doing getting mixed up with the Syndicate anyway?" he asked curiously, slumping against a pile of cargo crates.

Lexie gaped. Was this fool complimenting a woman who was holding him at gun point? Sighing, Lexie said, "My father... wronged the Syndicate. They swore to destroy everthing he loved. I just happen to be the last thing left."
Lexie relaxed her grip on the revolver. Her hand fell to her side, but she didn't put the gun back in its holster. "Please..." she whispered. "You have to understand. If I had stayed on that planet, I would be dead. They would have..." she faultered, unable to continue. The revolver fell from her hand and clanked hard on the floor.
Trembling, Lexie backed away from the man, her face more pale than usual and her blue eyes alive with misery.

"Hey hey hey... Easy kiddo," Vic said as he watched the revolver fall from the woman's hand. He slid over to her side and grabbed her shoulder, easing her down onto one of the crates. "Just sit down for a minute. I'll tell ya what, you relax for a minute and then we'll go find the kitchen on this heap. I'll bet you haven't had a chance to sit down to a nice meal in a while, running from the Syndicate and all, so maybe I can whip something up for ya and it'll give you a chance to tell me they whole story. Maybe we could even find the other bozos on this ship so they could meet you. I wonder where they went anyways..."

Gulping, Lexie sighed nervously. She reached for her cigarettes but only found an empty pack. Swearing under her breath she smiled weakly and said, "I don't suppose there's anything really strong to drink on this ship?"
Retrieving her revolver she tucked it back into the holster.

"Hrm... I don't really touch the stuff myself, but we can check. Hammer seems like he might be the type to enjoy a drink or two. If you're feeling better we can go find the galley and fix you up with something..."

Coming from around a box on the other side of the cargo bay Bob hollers out. " That boy couldnt take anything hard but little lady I got something you mite want."

Lexie stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the man who had just appeared. She reached for her revolver and then thought better of it.
Smiling, and looking her most charming, she asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

"Ah ha! So there you are. I've been looking for you and Hammer for a good while. Oh, that there is Bob, our resident loud-mouth," he said with a smirk. "Bob, this is... Um.... This is... Hey, what's your name anyways?"

Smiling weakly, the girl answered, "My name is Alexandra Armstrong, but most people just call me Lexie."

"Well, it's nice ta meetcha Lexie," Vic said with a grin. "By the way, my name's Victor Sylas, bounty-hunter extrodinare and quite the gentleman to boot." He let his grin spread wider as he bowed to her with a flourish to top off his introduction. "But you can just call me Vic," he said, shifting the toothpick in his mouth to the other side.

"Okay, why is everyone poking around my cargo bay and what the h*ll is going on in here," Hammer said as he came around the same cargo box that Bob had and immediately noticed a babe in his cargo bay.
"WHAT THE H*LL?" he shouted, a stowaway....

"Easy Hammer, easy! We have a guest," Vic said slyly. "Lexie, I'd like you to meet Hammer, owner of this fine vessel. He seems to have misplaced his manners at the moment, but I'm sure he's quite happy to have you aboard. The more the merrier and all that. Anyway, Hammer and Bob, I was just about to show Lexie here to the galley so we could sit down, maybe grab a bite to eat, have a few drinks, and she could tell us her story. Sound good?" Without giving anyone a chance to respond Vic began politely leading Lexie towards the door by the arm. "Great," he called back to the others, "We'll meet you there, hmm?"

Lexie followed weakly beside Vic, occasionally looking back at the man her companion had called Hammer. Suddenly, she looked wearily at Vic, and in her calmest, most joking voice she whispered, "I hope he doesn't jetison me into space."

Hammer saw this girl whisper and was wondering what she had just said. He tried to pay it no mind.
"The galley is just up ahead. I'm going back to the cockpit. When your little friend here decides to get mannners and come apologize and introduce herself, call me," he said as he headed back to the cockpit.

"Yeah... me too," Vic replied seriously. "C'mon, let's get you some grub," he said with a smile. He lead Lexie carefully to the galley and sat her down. After that, Vic dissappeared behind the wall that seperated the kitchen from the rest of the room for a moment, and returned with drinks for both of them -- juice for himself and the whatever liquor he could find for her. "I'll grab us some food. You just sit tight and relax, alright?"
