Out of Choices (Ruechari)
Out of Options
Wade went to the station
Filled with anticipation
But he looked all around
And his sister was nowhere to be found
Pearce held onto the note in his hand
Of when she was to arrive.
But the time had come and gone
Another lie Domain contrived?
Then a man approached him on the platform
Dressed in a conductor's uniform
You wouldn't happen to be Pearce Wade?
Pearce nodded, "Is this about my sister?
Has her train been delayed?"
I think it's best you come with me.
Wade didn't think to disagree.
He was foredoomed
As he entered the room.
In the center was a coffin
It made his head spin
"Why did you bring me here?"
"We can't let her go
Until we know?"
He took a crowbar and pried the nails
What he uncovered caused Wade to wail.
His sister was dead.
Wade felt the hatred
Fill his heart and lungs
Domain's end needs to come
He rented a wagon
He slid his sister inside.
He'd bury her back home
Along with the part
of himself that died.
But first he had a stop to make
He pressed on knowing what was at stake.
He pulled up outside the place.
Not knowing what he was about to face.
Two men step through
Wade knew not what to do.
He couldn't believe there
Were two?
Bruce cocked his gun
"I know you!"
Buck spoke up.
"Where's Lou?"
"He ain't gonna tell
He's part of Domain's Crew."
"Oh we'll make him talk."
Buck and Bruce aimed both guns cocked.
"Lou believed you'd come.
Said you were a better man.
I'm here because of what Domain as done.
You have to understand."
"You brought Lou to him
How can we trust what you say?"
Buck looked at Bruce.
"What choice to do we have?
Lead the way."
"You said Lou expected us to come?"
"Not you," Wade said, "the other one.
She didn't know, but held on to faith
Even though,
she knew it was the Judge
That let him go."
Buck looked back at Bruce
But Bruce looked away.
Not liking the idea of anyone
Trusting him in that way.
"Ditch the cart it will only slow us down."
Wade, said, "I'm not going with."
Bruce frowned,
"See, we can't trust this clown."
"You don't have time to harp,"
Wade threw back the tarp.
"In that box is my sister you see
This is how Domain chose to return her to me.
IF you don't wish Lou to face the same fate,
Here is a map."
Buck too questioned, "How do we know this isn't some trap?"
"She has my knife and a gun.
She's got a shot to be free but only one.
IF she fails, she'll be dead.
What choice do you have...
Like you said."
