Summary: Set in the S1 finale "The Dark Tower" when Miles told Bass to run after saving him. Set afterward, too. Let's just say that there's some deleted scenes from the show, some Charlie/Bass stuff, and it's centered on Bass. He finds a hurt Charlie. Will he help her? Will he get her safely back to Miles? Read to find out what happens.
It was a dark night, as General Sebastian Monroe sat in a wooden chair, tied up, hands tied behind his back, legs tied together in front of him and to the front chair legs.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNESQRjfb0z
He knew from one of his men, as he sat there that they had a new Militia general; Tom Neville. Tom had somehow gotten to them. Now Bass was a prisoner in a Militia camp. And he didn't have any weapons. There was a guard outside the tent too, so he knew escaping would be useless about now. It could be the death of him, and he wanted to live as long as he could.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCnzJad7uq
Suddenly, behind him, he heard a soft thud at the entrance.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci7lSoa8q5
A few minutes later, he looked up to see Miles Matheson standing in front of him, sword in hand. They didn't speak. They just silently looked at one another.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0PGHLS11Q
Because he saw Miles there, he thought he was there to kill him, but instead, Miles said, "You asked me why I tried to kill you. You're asking the wrong question, Bass. Ask me why I couldn't."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLJ2A5FDVk
Bass didn't say anything.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWcGhbjffa
Miles continued, saying, "We're still brothers. That will never change."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTCopL9Yew
Miles used his sword to cut the ropes off Bass, before saying, "Run."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckWnUemz5T
"What?" Bass questioned in what sounded like a soft voice.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqRQQKXcgJ
"Monroe's escaping!" Miles yelled, and then told his best friend, "I said run, Bass."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbBIbNLzNe
At those last words, Bass ran as fast as he could for the woods.
A few days later, days away from that Militia camp, he was walking not far from the woods, when he saw a girl on her side on a gravel road; not just any girl; Miles' niece; Charlie Matheson.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmWzEBsdYv
No, he thought, thinking she was badly hurt or injured.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKGmYllBFQ
He ran towards and knelt beside her. He then gently rolled her onto her back. And when he did, she groaned. He then put her sword in its holster, which had been lying on the ground close by, before saying, "Charlie, it's me. Can you hear me?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d6v6FEPld
He looked down at her and gently used his hand to stop her right side from bleeding further. He had never shown it, but he cared about her. Even when he had pulled a gun on her to get Rachel to cooperate, he hadn't wanted to pull the trigger on her. He cared about her for two reasons; she reminded him of Rachel and she was as much of his family as Miles was; even if she thought of him as the bad guy; the guy that killed her only brother; Danny. He hadn't given them orders to kill him, though, and he hadn't been there. It wasn't his fault that Danny had been killed. He wished he HAD been there, though. He could've possibly prevented him from getting killed.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d8qjcAlOL
"Hang in there, Charlie."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamRpuoHKqc
He took his hand away and gently pulled her into his arms. And as he got to his feet with her in his arms, he heard a helicopter. He knew he had to hide, so he briskly made his way inside the forest and stood under a tall, shady tree.
When the helicopter passed over the trees and the noise started to fade away, he started walking, searching for either a river or stream. He needed the help from a water source to take care of her wound.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2GxxIsnjL
As he walked, she slowly came to.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eDM7OpWBu
"Monroe?" she asked softly.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpHkuSh9qM
"It's me. I'm saving your ass."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVTkNHDuBS
He could tell that she was having trouble staying awake, and saw that she was probably about to go under again.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdbTMGduhL
"Stay awake," he urged her.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqhvVRAiK1
A moment later, he found a stream.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DtyIEBhWT
He layed her gently down on her back by it.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c6s31gTnV
"Talk to me," he instructed, knowing he had to keep her awake.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRbmuVtMIb
"I am," she replied.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKIk7hScNN
"Tell me what happened to you out there," he said.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmIWK7TpFK
He tore a piece of his white t-shirt and damped it in the stream to start in on her side wound. He knew he had to stop the bleeding, or she wouldn't make it to see next week. She had lost a lot of blood. He had to save her.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DKQylyZXQ
"Militia," she told him.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ebPUMrxfy
He damped the piece of his shirt to her wound to stop the bleeding.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj8dwUPSLg
Asses, he thought.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD1awL0xIu
"What about you?" she asked him, as he gently continued to do what he could for her.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiQrBWc1tP
"I'm worse than you and the others are."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfXvQeqUfA
"How?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7T3v0OguB
"I'm worse because Tom got to my men. He's the general now; not me. If they get just one chance, I'm dead. Miles is the reason I'm still alive. He rescued me a few nights ago while you were all in the tower. But then again, I guess I deserve it after everything I've done."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxZ0hIAqSS
He got the bleeding to stop and tied the piece of his shirt to her wound. It was all he could do until he could find bandages for her wound.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAYM7SchYn
He stood up and started to walk off, as he added, "Everything I've done, I've done for Miles. I didn't want to be the bad guy."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAmB1RFkw4
He stopped and looked at her over his shoulder.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBkdY22tKW
"Hell, without Miles, I'm nothing. Miles is all I have left. I went to the war with Miles, only to lose all I had of family. If Miles hadn't found me that night at the Georgia cemetery, I would've killed myself. Miles has always been my family."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy3F6kbJNn
He started to walk away again.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhfGgdVax4
She got to her feet and started to slowly follow him.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWDisad4Ew
Suddenly, a gun shot rang out. Monroe and Charlie didn't know what had happened until he felt pain and Charlie saw Monroe fall to the ground.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJpLBkd7MO
As Charlie ran towards Monroe, she saw a guy with a rifle disappear from a line of trees. Her first priority was helping Miles' friend, though. She'd take care of the Militia guy later.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAho2bAfxFP
She knelt at his side, as he lay on his back.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ987jhohM67
"Monroe?" she called.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRquXkCKLZ
"Charlie," he almost whispered.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ngqV0fkOV
He closed his eyes.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr46rSK8hu3
She opened his black, leather jacket to see the damage.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya7jlqGAoR
"Stay with me, Monroe."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfbbJAPfHd
She took his jacket off and used it as a pillow for his head. She then tore a piece of her blue jeans and used it to apply pressure to his chest wound.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkMW3t01Nn
"I'm still her. We need to find bandages and shelter, though," he half whispered.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUILTlU6gYh
"We'll find shelter. I'll stop the bleeding and then we'll find a place to stay," she promised him.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDN8cJGlB3
He winced in pain, as she continued to apply pressure to his wound, and then groaned in pain.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnVhrvSPzQ
"If I don't make it, apologize to Miles for what I've done for me," he half whispered.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrN8wrL7ze
"Don't talk like that. You're not going to die. I won't lose anyone else. I've lost enough."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHCPD0xRXF
Darkness started to close in on him, as everything started to grow dim.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdqmECVw8i
"I'm dying, Charlie," he half whispered, before everything went black.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx91oiRYZBM
She took her jacket off and draped it over him to keep him warm.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtomEPHZBj
"I'll be back. Don't you dare die."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgoHQSr6QO
She got to her feet and ran like her life depended on it. He needed help and she knew where Miles would camp at next. It wasn't far away.
When Bass woke up, he was in a room in a bed, Miles leaning against the closed door with a bottle of whiskey he was drinking.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hl2P9kgUe
He slowly sat up in bed.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIHR0AY80W
He winced in pain.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB906qGnWc
"You're awake," Miles greeted.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKTf2UF2fa
"Charlie?" Bass questioned.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7skt0yT2Of
"She's okay. She's the one that saved your life, pal. She told me that she knows what happened."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEiD39RUmE
Miles walked over to him and held up the bottle.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud6aOyPHLQ
"Drink?"756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnylvAAkwuE
He stood at Bass' bedside.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIZj0jxTkZ
"Thanks," Bass said.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9UcTczXFI
Miles handed him the bottle and Bass took a swig.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq8Z8MaZsT
"I owed you. You saved my life twice. It was time for me to return the favor. Get better and then we'll talk."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv7AdhJ0pe
Miles walked away and opened the door.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuE5Kdtvc1
Miles looked over his shoulder at his best friend.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYpoZas7Z2
"Welcome home, Bass. You're a rebel now. Get used to it."756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K9Pu78ljF
Bass watched as Miles left the room, and then Bass took another swig of whiskey.
