I walked down the stairs and in front of the other hotel rooms. I knocked hard on Mary's door. No reply. I knocked harder. No reply. I started banging on the door. The door swings open. Instead of being met by the crazy bitch. My Exfather stands there. I can see behind him and Mary is asleep on the bed. Oh fuck. What the actual fuck. Now I know how Will felt.

"I don't want to know your dumb excuse for being here for so early" I frown, thanks Will. He slips behind me. I walk inside.

"Mary, get up" I frown. "Get the hell up!" I shout. She sits up quickly.

"Wha-What do you want?" She strains.

"We need to talk, about teamwork, and how we won't make it without eachother" I stare at her.

"Look the thing is that I've known guys like him, it leads to nothing good" She rubs her temples. Before I could dish out another guidance counsler line, we hear a crash and breaking of glass from upstairs, then a loud thud. I run out of the room and up the stairs quickly. I break the door down. There are signs of a struggle, things fallen over or broken. The window is broken, blood covers the shards by the window. I look out the window, on the ground underneath lays a lifeless body. I jump out the window, I fall my butt. Ow, shit, that hurt. If this isn't Theseus he'll have to teach me to fall properly. I roll the body over. It's an unknown man, he looks like a criminal, us criminals can sense it. I search his body, I find a rolled up letter in his pocket.

"Bounty: 10,000,00$, known as Deadshot" I read aloud. "Damn bounty hunters" I swear under my breath. I looked at the trail of blood that led out into the desert, acompanying it were horse tracks. I began running into the desert.

"I'm coming" Mary shouted from behind me.

"Not a chance in hell" I replied.

"Why?" I stopped and turned to her.

"You will just slow me down, and plus, you haven't cared about them until now, you have another agenda" I spit on the ground and began running across the tracks. She still chased after me. The first wrong move she makes, she is going down. The blood lessens, they must of put bandages on the wound. Suddenly, the smell of the sea hit me in the nose. Damn, they're taking him to Virginia. They're making his execution a national occasion. Bounty Pirates are what we call them. We as in outlaws.

"Do you smell that?" Mary yelled at me.

"They're bounty pirates" We have about a zero percent of a chance to get them back. These people are cruel, and nobody has ever escaped them. Not until I do later today. At least I hope so. The desolate desert turns into marshes, and tall dead grass. I can hear the ocean waves and the birds. They're ship is docked on a port that looks like someone laid a door in the ocean. They're ship was beautifully designed, also made specially to keep the captured, captive. Now to get caught.

"Mary this is where you're actually important" I smile mirthlessly. She throws a rock at the big boat. The, what looks like, the captain walks to the side and peers down us.

"What is it?" He said grumpily.

"I see you have captured Deadshot, I have his partner in crime, Annie Winchester" She frowns.

"What's in it for you?" He grunted.

"The satisfaction that the killer of my parents are dead" She acts like she is about to cry. She is a terrible actor, but he is buying it. The whole dead parents thing was my idea. He sends guards to retrieve me. They both look at Mary oddly. The captain gives them a secret motion and they also kidnap Mary.

"You'll be a fine specimen for the Market" He smiled toothily. This isn't what I planned, but it will do. They take us and throw us into a dark pit on the center of the boat. I examine everything before falling. It is a room with a levy system that opens up the ceiling, it leads to the main deck. It looks very deep. He acts like he is going to somehow pull out a ladder but instead he gives me a kick that sends me backwards. I scream the whole way down, it was kind of exciting and terrifying at the same time. I fell back on my back. It wasn't as deep as I thought. It is pretty wide and about the height of a normal room. It was really dark. It knocked the air right out of me. I gasped a couple times before coming to my senses. I landed on my back and hands, they are still binded behind me. In the corner I can see a lonely boy, sitting hopelessly in the corner. He stares at the floor. He looks depressed, like he is going through his life descions. I frown and make my way over to him. I sit beside him.

"Tough day?" I say in a slightly deeper voice. He doesn't respond. I guess he thinks I am some random prisoner. I painfully flip the binds over my head. Now I can actually somewhat use my hands. I grab his face and turn it to me. I smile quickly and he pulled me to him. He embraced me.

"I know this isn't you, I hope it isn't you" He frowns.

"What?" I question him.

"I don't want you to die because you chased after Will and I, I only hope you met that Matt kid again and you two are off in wonderland" He releases me.

"We can do it, we have escaped worse" I reassure him.

"An execution party? Two mindless criminals?" He shakes his head. "This is a whole fleet of bounty pirates" He sighed loudly. "I'd sit back and enjoy what time we have" He stares back at the ground.

"This is very unlike you, the guy I know wouldn't give up without a fight" I stand up and walk away from him. I want to kiss him and strangle him all at the same time. I went to find Will. He is talking to a woman. She looks like she came straight from the whore house. I lift an eyebrow and walk quickly over there.

"Will?" I whisper. He looks up at me. He immediately jumps up and hugs me.
"Look who it is. I wonder who you'll fuck next" He spit the words out like acid. "I'm going to guess he wasn't your first" Will stared at me.
"I don't have time to argue with you" I shook my head. "Deadshot is against trying to escape" I frown and let go of him.

"I think the captain offered him some sort of deal" Will whispers. Before we could discuss this further the woman he was talking to stands up and shakes my hand.

"I'm The Black Widow" She smiled. She had on a prostitute outfit. She had her hair up and in curls. You could see where her guns once were holstered. Black Widow, sounds familiar. "My name sounds familiar right? I'm an assassin, wanted just like you and pretty boy" She references to Deadshot. I recognize her now. She isn't a whore. She acts like one. Distracts them, if you get what I mean, and kills them. She is one of the richest people in Texas. She gets paid to sleep with and kill people. Great. There were other criminals in there, each looking more gruesome than the last. Now to get out of here.
