Lust Meets Wrath

Chaz's Escape

(I know what yer thinking.. Canon states Chaz is dead... well too bad.. I have use for Chaz in my story. So a little side story to explain how he escaped... based on a comic I found on Twitter )

Crimson glared at Chaz. "You been lying ta me this whole fuckin' time...yer a dead man!"

Chaz bolted and slid grabbing his car keys as he was being shot at. Heart pounding he grabbed one of the dead sharks, stripped down to his boxers and put his clothes on the body. Ripping the tail off he drove the car as he was pursued. The dead body in the driver's seat, Chaz saw his chance and bailed out in a tuck and roll to the water. 

The car exploded, burning the body. Chaz watched from the water as Crim's men pulled the dead body out. 

"Yeah that's Chaz's outfit... same jaw too." Alessio said and shook his head. 

Chaz swam out safely under a bridge far away. He had a wound on his arm from getting grazed by a bullet. The tip of his left horn was gone. He hugged his knees. "Well Chaz.. ya got nothing and yer at rock bottom... what now?" 

He thought for a while then decided to head to Wrath. He knew one person there that would help him. He just had to find her, that was gonna be hard. He had to get some clothes... and find his ex-girlfriend.

Lena was shopping, Havu clung to her back. Getting food for the week, she smiled some. She checked out and headed to the truck. She paused and turned her head hearing her name. 

"Lena..." 

She saw him, laying on the ground. "Chaz.. oh fuck!" She helped him up. He was wearing some plain black jeans and nothing else. "What happened to you?"

"Well.. ha.. tried to get married.. got shot.. got chased.. and now I have nothing." He smiled. 

Lena sighed and helped him to the truck. Havu peering over her shoulder at the shark. "Shark!"

Chaz smiled. "That's right." 

Once inside she put Havu in her chair and strapped her in before strapping herself in. Making sure Chaz was belted. "Alright, yer coming home with me." 

Chaz smiled some. "Lena ya don't gotta..."

Lena headed the truck for her home. "Don't worry so much. Look I may not love you that way anymore, but I do still care." She smiled at him.

Chaz nodded and relaxed in the seat. "Okay."

Striker blinked seeing Chaz in the truck, then saw how hurt he really was and realized his wife was once again thinking with that big heart of hers. Bless her. He walked over and helped Chaz get inside to the couch then the groceries and Havu. 

Lena sighed sitting on the couch, holding Havu she looked to Chaz as Striker was patching him up. "What happened, the whole story."

Chaz took a breath. "After collecting my winnings from betting on The Prideful Pony  I headed toward Greed, paid off my car, rented my suit for another week and went to see Crimson... Moxxie's dad at his place." He then went into graphic detail about what happened with Moxxie, Blitz and Millie. 

Striker snorted some, he didn't need to know all that. Now he needs brain bleach. 

Lena looked to him, covering Havu's ears. "And then.. how did you get away?"

Chaz winced. "I used a dead body and my car to fake my death, bailed at the last second into the water. Swam away, stole these pants of another dead guy and came here because well.. I have no other friends that would help me."

Lena smiled some. "Striker... can he stay for a little while?"

Striker groaned. "Fine but he's sleepin' on the couch." 

Chaz smiled and wagged his tail. 

"And no sex in the house, we have a two year old." Striker stared at him. 

Chaz gulped and nodded, "Yessir!"

Striker and Lena put him to work, cleaning the house, helping with dishes and mucking out the horse and hog stalls, nothing too bad but he had to earn his keep. 

This gave Lena and Striker a little more time with Havu too. Something she needed so of course Chaz was happy to help. 

Chaz also babysat once a week so Striker and Lena could have a night out. Somehow Chaz and Havu were always passed out on the couch when they got back. The way they saw it, it was a good thing. 

If only they knew...
