As God Intended

Chapter 21/ Internal Monsters

"Haint much but if you'd be inclined to lend your aid, I'd appreciate it"

The auburn haired chipmunk happily swept her blue eyes over the brawny figure that was Vincent B Smith
"Heheha~ I'd love to but I have a question...what's in Langton? And above that, where is that lil r~rascal Denzel? You ain't think I forgot bout him, huh?"

Malik raised a brow...confused as to why she'd bring up that name to this guy.

Vincent lowered his gaze and glanced over at Givvy, who was just standing by and listening
"Well, the boy had gotten himself into trouble...truth is I don't know where he is or if he's safe"
Paying close attention, Nissi could tell Vincent has been troubled by it, the lack of sleep in his eyes having been evident from the start of this talk
"all I know is that he wanted to meet up in Langton"

"Truly terrible, what the hell have you been through? See I knew I shoulda stayed in that area, if had grew up and became a sheriff there, I woulda kept an eye on you and that fool Denzel"

Vincent put his hand on his belt for a moment, tipping his hat down to hide an embarrassed smile
"You could be right~ heh but cut my boy some slack remember, innocence was bliss with that feller when you last seen him"

"Yeah~ then he grows a few inches and thinks he can run wild with the big boys"

Vincent was thrown off by this since it sounded like Nissi was speaking from experiences with the current mentality of his kid brother but the thought was put on hold as the sheriff continues speakin'-taking a swig of her drink and points to the pale lad
"Who're these two"

Vincent took his eyes off her to trail over to the alerted alien and the brown rat, who were listening intently this whole time
"This here is Givvy and Lex, they've been traveling with me for some time now helping me look for my brother"

"Nice to finally meet you sheriff Brown"
Lex smiles respectfully, Nissi raising a brow
"Have we met, sugar?"

"No but you're name was brought up by Vin here s number of times"
Lex says as Vincent grumbles to him with a short glare that hollered "shut up"

Nissi chuckles as she looks over at Givvy, speakin with that rough southern accent
"And do you talk Givvy?"
Her voice a drunken hum while she tapped her finger, asking for a refill

"Only when spoken too ma'am"
The young alien simply said, Nissi nudging Vincent while the bartender filled her glass
"I like him, reserved but he's very polite, you'll fit right in Langton kid, you got the talk and the clothes"

Nissi took a yonder at Vincent again and chuckles
"You my friend will need something a little more spiffy, you'll be getting eyed like you're there to do a lil hurtin' and not the fun kind~"

"So you'll get us there then?"

Nissi shakes her head at the elder chipmunk after hearing this
"Not quite partner, I can't leave the county but I sure as hell won't let an old friend leave without some assistance from lil ol me"
She sips from her drink again and chuckles
"I got a really swell fellow by the name of Devin Bowers, he's a bounty hunter-good one at that, he'll be the one to escort you. Of course I'd have to pay him so any help on that would be appreciated"

Vincent rolls his eyes and chuckles in his seat, tapping the bar table to get himself a drink, the bartender coming over to take his order
"Whiskey"
Was all he said before he sighed
"Well if you say he's good then I'll take your word for it"
