Episode 15: Yes Men

***

Jimmy and Lorelei arrive at a bar called Rosie's Desert Oasis: Hops – Hogs – Honeys, Jimmy pulls into the parking lot as the bikers all take notice. Lorelei still sits in the passenger seat.

"I got to grab something real quick," Jimmy stops the car, puts it in park and turns off the engine. "I'll be right back, my love." He gets out and Lorelei looks around at all the bikers, one seems especially interested. 

Lorelei gets out of the car and they all mumble around her.

"Look at that." a biker comments.

Rooster, the one who noticed her gets to his feet. "H-hey darlin', gal like you could have any man you want," Rooster walks over to stand in front of her. He nods his head in the direction Jimmy went. "Why did you marry that little dude? He loaded?" Rooster asked.

Lorelei looks at Rooster then to where Jimmy disappeared. "He's not my husband. I took him from his bride earlier today. I needed him to provide safe passage."

"You in trouble? Cause if you need a place to lay low for awhile, this is as good as any." Rooster said.

A bike starts up noisily behind him and Lorelei is startled by it, causing her to stare. "Oh!" She watches as it starts away. "What kind of beast is that?" she asked.

"It's a 1987 Heritage Softail. You can hop on mine if you want to feel a roar," Rooster turns back to his bike and wipes on it with a towel in his hand. Lorelei walks to it and strokes it with a hand as well.

"Hmm. How grand. What is your name?" Lorelei asked.

"My men, they call me Rooster." Rooster replied.

"You have men? You are their leader?" Lorelei asked.

Rooster laughs. "Last time I checked, yeah."

This gets her interest and she smiles at him then reaches out and puts a hand on his shoulder. Just as with Jimmy, when she speaks her voice gets an echo it didn't have before. "You and your men now serve me."

Rooster's face falls as he takes in whatever she just did to him. Jimmy appears right next to Lorelei. "This guy bothering you?" Jimmy asked.

"No. He's with me now." Lorelei states.

Jimmy looks at her with surprise. "What? No! I'm with you! You said we'd be together forever, remember?" he asked.

"I said we'd be together till the end. It is the end." Lorelei sweeps her arm back, almost as if to push him back a few steps. However, the power of her blow sends Jimmy air born into his car, he bounces off it and ends up on the other side of it as the men all murmur at what just happened.

"Who are you?" Rooster asked, almost afraid and in awe.

"I'm Lorelei. Now..." She turns and looks at all the other bikers who have gathered. "Introduce me to all of my men."

Skye's still lying inside on a bed looking very bored. She sighs then looks around and starts to take the cover off her body. She gets her feet off the side of the bed and sits upright stretching. She's just about to stand when Simmons appears at the window of the pod tapping on the glass.

"No! What did I say?" Simmons yelled through the glass.

Skye sighs deeply. "Damn it. Every time," Simmons opens the door and enters. "It's like you have a sensor for whenever my butt lifts off the bed." Skye comments.

"Back in it." Simmons was saying as she grabbed something.

"I just want to stretch my legs." Skye said.
