Hi Jay here, This is my first fanfic so i hope you like it, please write back and let me know what you think.
Quick note: This is set about 3 years after the cartoon so Jessie and James are both 20 years old, Cassidy is about 19 and Butch is 21.
I couldn't believe The Boss was sending us to do this, to kill Jessie and James, it was like a nightmare come true. Now don't get me wrong, they ain't no friends of mine, not anymore at least but that didn't mean I wanted them dead.
I looked across at Butch, he was frowning slightly concentrating on his driving, it had snowed the night before and it made driving dangerous especially out here in the middle of nowhere. I didn't know what he thought about all this but I didn't think he was too happy with the whole idea.
I sighed, we were nearly there, the cabin that the two were staying in, The Boss had arranged that, to make it easier to clean up afterwards he said. The jeep stopped suddenly and I glanced around. We were there. I pulled by gun out of it holster and pulled the safety off, and looked across at Butch who was doing the same. He saw me looking at him, and winked.
We walked towards the cabin, one of those old log affairs with a plume of smoke coming from the chimney, the snow crunching under our feet. I tried the door, it was unlocked. I pushed it open and the two of us walked in. I looked around, Jessie was on the bed, James on the couch and Meowth sleeping by the blazing fire, they looked so peaceful.
"Get the cat" I whispered to Butch, as quiet as possible, not wanting to wake them up.
He nodded and tip-toed forward, pulling out the Ultra Ball The Boss had given us. He tossed it at Meowth, hitting him on the head, the ball opened, sucking him in, it rocked for a few minutes but there was no way Meowth would be able to escape.
We glanced around again quickly, looking for their pokeballs, they were on the table, I picked them up and clipped them to my belt, they wouldn't need them where they were going. I looked over at Butch and nodded towards Jessie, indicating that he should wake her now, as I stepped forward to do the same to James.
I pushed my gun against his temple, before shaking him roughly, he muttered something about doughnuts and Jessie. I shook him again harder, and his eyes sprung open and he gasped in surprise, feeling my gun against his head and seeing me.
I smiled down at him, "Hello James," I said, "get up very slowly and you won't get hurt, yet anyway." I smiled down at him again.
He gulped, but did as I said, standing up slowly, his green eyes darting around looking everywhere but at me. I kept the gun against his temple and lead him to the middle of the room, before stepping back to stand next to Butch who had done the same with Jessie.
The pair stood before us, shaking like leaves, to afraid to move and unusually for Jessie, afraid to speak.
Butch looked around the cabin, before saying, "You know Cass, It would be a crying shame to dirty this place up with their blood."
I looked at him, what was he up to now?
"What'd you mean by that?"
He grinned before replying, "It's just that it's going to take forever to clean their blood out of the furniture, so I was thinking that maybe you should take them out in the forest to do it, then we won't have to clean anything up."
He laughed softly, and I could tell by the look on her face, Jessie wanted to say something, but James put his hand on her arm to stop her. I looked at Butch, he winked at me and suddenly I knew what he wanted to do, I nodded and motioned with my gun towards the door. The pair walked past, Jess head up glaring angrily at the pair of us, James head down looking at the floor, fear radiating out of him with every step.
I followed them out and lead them deep in the forest, until we reached a small clearing. I told them to get in the centre, and pushed them down on their knees.
Jess tried to stop me, but James pulled her down next to him. He looked up at me, his eyes filling with tears that what were beginning to overflow and run down his cheeks.
It was strange, I wanted nothing more then to wipe them away and tell him everything was going to be OK, but I couldn't do that. I shook my head, trying to lose that thought I guess I still have some feelings for him after all.
I lowered my gun until it was level with his head, he made a small whimpering sound, his hands clutching tightly to Jessie's. I nodded softly, before raising the gun and firing into the air, once and then again. They both jumped when I fired, and then with shocked looks on their faces, staring at me.
"Go," I said, motioning with my gun, "get out of here before I change my mind."
They both, climbed quickly to their feet still holding hands. Jess let go of him and quickly ran into the trees, but James stopped at the edge of the clearing before looking back at me, "Thank you Cass." he said softly before dashing after Jess.
I stood there for a few minutes thinking about what I had done, The Boss would kill us if he ever found out about this, but right then I didn't really care about that. I felt strangely happy and I guess I felt that I had done something to make up for the hurt I had caused them in the past.
I left the clearing and walked back to the cabin where Butch was sitting in the jeep, waiting for me. "It's done" I said softly, climbing into the jeep. He nodded before answering.
"I heard," he smiled at me before adding, "do you think there'll be OK?"
"As long as there're together, they'll be OK." I answered.
He nodded, started up the jeep, and we headed back to face The Boss.
