"Dess!" May shouted, running to her friend and scooping her into a big hug.
Sadessa held her friend tight then pulled away, taking May's face in her palms. "I'm so glad you're okay."
May shoved Dessa then gave a relieved sigh. "Don't get all extra on me, Sadessa Rae Dawn! You almost got yourself fucking killed! Again!"
Sadessa laughed then she winked at May, amping up the sass.
Gerald ran up to the girls and group hugged them both. "Awh man, I'm so glad we're together again. Now we can get the hell out of California and bring Little Dude and the babies to Santuary."
"What happened here?" Sadessa asked, pointing at the blood trail after Gerald released the girls.
May scowled and shook her head. "Ran into some Loompas while we were going through Malibu. It was a hell of a fight. Don't worry, none of us are too badly injured. We took a break here on this beach, Gerald made a sand castle."
"I love sand castles!" Gerald exclaimed with a bright grin.
Wonka stood still, not making one move forward to greet his comrade. He was unsure whether he should express his relief to her. Yet again, he found himself battling his feelings. A little part of himself wanted her to see that he was happy she was alive but another part of himself knew if he did, that would only inspire her more to pursue him. So, he turned his attention to the young man with the sad Asian face who was walking his way out of the water and putting his boots back on. Wonka was about to ask Sadessa who he was until he felt arms being wrapped around him. He grunted, then pointed at the ground as a silent order for her to get off of him.
Sadessa's smile eased into a frown before she let him go and slumped her way toward the other two.
"Who's your friend?" Wonka asked, eyeing the man warily.
Leo walked up to the group and let his hand out. "Wow.. you're Willy Wonka. The Willy Wonka! I'm Leoric but please, call me Leo."
Wonka lifted his brow, moving his eyes from Sadessa to the young man before him. He turned and began limping off. "We don't have room for another tag-along, kid. I suggest you find your way back home."
Sadessa scowled then trotted alongside Wonka. "Look, he's only looking for a place to settle. Let's just bring him along until we come up to Sanctuary."
"We don't know when will be the next time we come across Sanctuary. This kid might not fucking make it-"
"Hey, I can fight you know!" Leo walked passed May and Gerald, clenching his fist. "I can shoot a gun just as good as the next person. I won't be much trouble, I swear. And I will accept any Sanctuary you leave me in."
Wonka kept limping forward, never seizing to stop and not once giving the boy a look of achknowledgment, only frustrating Leo.
Sadessa placed a hand on Leo's shoulder then gave a small smile. "That's his way of saying you're welcome to come. Right, Wonka?"
Wonka just grunted again.
The five made their way to the hospital to retrieve Little Dude and the babies. Many questions ran through Leo's head as he watched the young Oompa Loompa hand Gerald the babies. Why are they helping these Oompa Loompas? Aren't we supposed to kill them all? Are they apart of the Takeover? Can't be... I would know about it.
Leo stuck his hands in his pockets and followed the four into a black jaguar looking car. "Oh man, these were rig built. Eight cylander and an extra row of six in the bottom for a power boost, you added grates I see. And awh man, are those silencing mufflers? Loompas wouldn't be able to hear you at all if you crept in the dark. This ride is damn awesome."
