When you're almost high enough up to be considered a spacecraft, halfway past mach three appears almost infuriatingly slow. Coupled with concern for Methos and the incessant drone of the SR-71's engines, Gaston was darn near going insane for lack of mental stimulation.
After another half hour of maddening silence, Gaston's mind drifted back to the first day he and Methos had met...
*** 1804 New Orleans, Louisiana On the banks of the Mississippi
The frightened young woman ran frantically down the ally towards the open road and levee beyond. Close behind her was a flurry of steel, silk, and verbal taunts.
Young Marceau slashed the leg of one of the woman's assailants, hamstringing him and thus taking him out of the fight. A kick to the groin followed up by a hilt smash to the top of the head rendered the other lummox painfully unconscious.
"Look ahead, cherie." Gaston admonished as the woman turned to look back with concern. "We're almost out of the woods, neh?"
A sharp click got Gaston's attention. The hamstrung man had drawn a pistol. Gaston whirled, throwing his cape out around him as a shot rang out. Finishing the circle, Gaston tossed his dagger unerringly through the pistolman's eye, dealing with him for good. He quickly adjusted his cape to cover the bloodstain widening quite quickly across his tunic.
"That's it, girl." He told the young lady as they reached the open street and relative safety. "You'll be all right if you avoid dis street for de time being." In gratitude, the woman planted such a kiss on Gaston that quickened his heartbeat a bit more than was healthy for someone losing so much blood. With a laugh, he playfully pushed her away a short time later. "Timing is everything, ma petite. Much as I'd like to revel in your gratitude, I'd best check to see no one else follows, neh?" He carressed the lady's cheek and tweaked her nose, drawing a giggle. "I'll catch up in a minute."
He waited until the lady could no longer see him before sagging back into the alley, and putting a hand to the wound. Seeing the hand come back covered in blood, he sighed. "Heh...might be a bit late. More's the pity." Moments later, Gaston slid down the alley wall and died.

Gaston shook his head, a rueful grin on his face. "Those were the days..."

Kali tilted her head, almost looking annoyed, but at the moment was back to masking her emotions so it was impossible to tell how she felt on the matter, "Yeah, I showed up at the last part, so if there were any words exchanged I missed them."
Luana had no troubles in keeping up, her problem was not riding up his tail pipe, that wasn't going to be helpful in the lest bit. She had long ago figured it a trap, but none the less she at lest knew Methos was alive at the time she spoke to him on the phone, she supposed she could have told Duncan that, but she had been in a rush.
