Hatter's brain seemed to go into shock. "That's impossible." He said, turning to look at Alice.

"I'm never wrong." Dodo said.

"Where did you get it, Alice?" Hatter rounded on her.

"Jack gave it to me." Alice replied. Hatter felt a slight pang at the look of confusion on her face, but pushed it aside.

"Jack?" Dodo asked her. He took a step forwards.

"Jack Chase, the one we're looking for!" Alice said defensively.

"Well where did he get it?" Dodo took another step towards her.

"I don't know!" Alice exclaimed, taking a half-step back.

"Give to me!" Dodo demanded loudly.

"No!" Alice defied him.

A small part of Hatter was impressed at her bravery. Another part, a larger part, was screaming to him that this was about to go down a very dangerous road that they didn't want to be on.

Dodo turned to the woman. "Take her out!" He ordered. The woman cocked the gun in her hands, pointing it at Alice.

"Are you crazy?" Alice exclaimed.

"Stop!" Hatter said, he moved between Alice and the woman's gun. "Just wait." He pointed a finger at her.

"You're in way over your head, Hatter." Dodo said.

"Just give me one second to talk to her, ok?" Hatter proposed. You can't hurt Alice. I won't let you. Hatter thought.

Dodo pulled a pistol out of his pocket, cocked it, and pointed it at Alice, over Hatter's shoulder. "It controls the Looking Glass." Dodo said, his eyes fixed on Hatter. He heard Alice make a sound, and saw her arms go up out of the corner of his eye. "You know that."

Hatter glanced back at Duck, and saw that he, too, had drawn his gun. He looked back at Dodo. "Calm down." Hatter said. "Put the gun away. I'm sure we can all get what we want here."

"Look, no one is getting this ring!" Alice exclaimed from behind him. He glanced back at Alice, about the tell her to be quiet, when Dodo spoke instead.

"We've been waiting years for a break like this." He said. "And now it falls into our laps." Dodo advanced towards him, the gun pointed at Hatter's chest.

"Stop waving that thing around!" Hatter demanded. He maneuvered himself to be between Dodo and Alice. "You're scarin everyone!" I knew Dodo was serious about his work, but this is just absurd! He thought.

"If we can return the Oysters," Dodo began, "back to their world, maybe we can save ours."

"Just put the gun down!" Hatter urged him.

"Think about it!" Dodo countered. "The Queen reduced to mopping floors! It'll be just like the old days." He said. Hatter looked back at Alice.

He's not going to give up. Hatter realized. I can't let Alice get hurt. Then they'll take the ring for sure, then they'll kill her.

"Justice. Reason. And a rule of law!" Dodo kept going. He trained the gun higher on Hatter's chest.

"Stop this!" Hatter grabbed the barrel of the gun. He heard the crack of the gun, and felt a shock run through the barrel. Then something collided with his chest. The force of the bullet threw him backwards into a pile of book on the other side of the room. He heard Alice scream.

Man that thing packs a punch. He thought. I suppose it was a good thing that I sport body armor on a regular basis. He was winded, and his shoulder felt as though a jabberwocky was sitting on it.

"You shot Hatter!" He heard the woman exclaim.

"We don't need him anymore." Dodo exclaimed.

You're going to wish you hadn't said that. Hatter thought.

"The ring is our ticket out of here!"  Dodo finished. Hatter heard the sound of a fight, and then a pair of footprints ran out the door.

Good girl, Alice. He thought. My turn. He pulled a gun quickly out of his coat pocket, and fired one shot into the air.
