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."
