*Lucy crossed her arms, a humoring look on her face*
"Ohyeah? What's 'at?"

*She didn't like that Lucy was humoring her. Almost defiantely, she dug around in her purse a moment and pulled out a photograph--it was Chris, with who she'd assumed was his family. She held it in a way that made it clear that Lucy could look but not touch*
"This."

*She gave Kim a lopsided smile. She really was smitten, wasn't she? She didn't want to see her heart break when she realized he wasn't coming back*
"'e's a looker, 'at one is. Ye got lucky dearest. Don't see many like 'at 'round 'ere."

*She smiled at Lucy, then turned the photograph around so she could see it. She'd found it in the wallet that he'd all but thrown at her, pressing her to take the money in it.
She'd found something more valuable than that, though.
She glanced back up at Lucy*
"I can still see him every day."

*Lucy wanted to throw some of the cold water of reality on Kim, but she didn't have the heart. Why not let her dream? It wouldn't last long, and might as well let her have SOMETHING, no matter how short-lived it was*
"Yes. Y'can."

**A FEW DAYS LATER**
*Kim and Lucy had fallen into a sort of routine--Kim worked during the day, and when she returned the two of them would talk and bond until it was time for Lucy to go onstage at the club. They were really starting to hit it off, and Kim was hopeful that things would be all right.
And then, one day, while she was watching the lastest show from Lucy (it hadn't gotten less raunchy, unfortunately), French authorities appeared in the club. Several of the patrons, who weren't exactly in honest dealings, got panicky at the sight of them and started to leave.
The police paid them no mind--they were here for a specific reason. The back-up Emcee had a talk with them, and then suddenly they were headed for the wings area of the stage...right for Kim. Wide-eyed, Kim started backing toward the stage*

*Lucy, having caught sight of the police, quickly ran over to Kim and grabbed her arm*
"Oh they ain't gettin' ye."
*So saying, she started pulling the girl across the stage, away from them. The police started shouting and running after them...
Lucy came to a screeching halt as a few police appeared at the opposite end of the stage. With Kim protesting, the redhead turned toward the edge of the stage, preparing to jump...*

"Lucy, no, wait--"
Kim's warning came too late: they'd already come down off the stage when some of the police came around to head them off. Rough hands grabbed the two women, trying to pry them apart.

"What d'ye think yer doin'?! She ain't done no wrong! LEGGO AH ME, YE APE!"
The three police holding Lucy back ignored her yelling, intent on pulling her away from Kim.
One of the officers turned to the younger girl*
"You, miss, are being deported. You are in France illegally."

*Kim stared at him in shock. But how...?*
"Please, sir, don't make me leave--"
*He pointed an accusing finger at her*
"You are going back where you came from--"
*All the color seemed to drain from Kim's face*
"No! NO!"
"--and that's that!"
*She started to struggle*
"NO! DON'T SEND ME BACK THERE!"

Oh ye gods...
*Kim had told Lucy about the situation in Vietnam, about the horrors and the devastation that she'd fled. Although some of what Kim had said went right over Lucy's head (what the hell was a helicopter?) she'd understood the parts about warefare and strife.*
"Now wait a damn minute! She's runnin' from 'ell an' yer gonna put 'er back in it?! What kinda cops are ya?!"

*But Kim was still being dragged away, and try as she might, the small woman couldn't break the grip of the gendarmes.* "PLEASE, NO, PLEASE! I HAVE TO STAY IN PARIS! I HAVE TO, HE'S COMING BACK FOR ME!" She screamed. *They were dragging her through the club, they were almost to the door--* "I HAVE TO WAIT FOR HIM TO COME BACK!" *With that last cry left to echo behind her, she was dragged outside...a purse fiercely clutched in one hand *

*Once Kim was good and gone, the remaining police dump Lucy unceremoniously on the floor and left the club. Lucy sat on the floor, staring at the front door, tears freely flowing. She'd just started thinking of Kim as her friend, maybe even a little sister. She'd had only one female friend once, and it had been nice to have something like that again. And now she was gone. After some time, Fritzi came out and gently helped Lucy back to her room *
