She had been so close, but so far away.



Sarah sat there, crouched in the corner of the church, shaking in fear
as the gun leveled down to her head and pressed into her skull. 
She didn't want to be imprisoned in a quarantine again.  Yet, she
knew that's where she was going to, and now, as her last puppet snapped
from his trance, she was sure of it.



"You made one mistake, Sarah," said Great Wyrm as he towered over her
shivering form.  She looked up, locking her tearfilled eyes with
his, and staring into his evil, predatory smirk.  "You crossed me."



The gun fired, and Sarah slumped over.  GreatWyrm pocketed his
pistol and put his hands behind his back, as per usual.  He walked
off with the rest of the Advocates, satisified that they had done their
job properly.  Hopefully Return would be back to her normal self
soon, and if not, then still, no problem.



As Sarah's body lie there, finally, the transfer occurred. 
Return's RSI was released from the Quarantine doll and Sarah's body
began to decompile back into the doll.  In just a few minutes,
Return was standing there in her black mourning dress, looking down on
the doll she once loved.



She picked up the doll, and almost immediately she heard Sarah's
cursing in her mind.  A constant wave of profanity echoed from the
doll, and Return just sighed.



"I should just put you in the trash, so you will get deleted with the
rest of the unnecessary files.  You know that, empathy program
1129?"



"Don't call me by that name, **bleep**!" the doll issued into Return's mind.  But Return just smiled back and laughed.



"I'll call you whatever I want.  Remember, I'm the one who did
name you Sarah, your 'human' name.  But, you see little Sarah, I'm
going to keep you around. I'm not going to throw you into the deletion
bin, like you should be. You might be useful."



"I'm just going to take you over again."



"Actually, no, you're not.  I know how you do that, and I blocked the necessary ports."



"You... you..."



"Yes, me, me, me.  At least you realize that now.  I'm going
to keep you around because I'm going to instill some style into
you.  Your heart is in the right place honey with destruction and
such, but you need to understand when to calm down.  I'm going to
teach you that."



"Do you think you can control me!!"



"No, I don't.  But, after you start seeing what I'm teaching you,
I don't think you'll mind sticking around with me.  Now, let's go
Sarah. People want to see the free me."  Return smiled as she
picked up and pocketed the doll in her bra and zipped back up her
dress.  A issue of threats came from the doll into Return's mind,
but she just continued to smile as she walked out of the church, a free
woman.
