“I’m not Holden, Scarlet! I’m Charlie! That’s all I’ve ever tried to be.” Charlie lowered his eyes.
“I am the ‘Porcelain Clown’, Charlie. That’s all I know how to be. That’s all I’m trying to be.” Scarlet grabbed a sack from the closet, and sauntered to the door.
“What about Scarlet, Clown? What happens to her?” He called after her.

At the museum, she was picking out the more expensive items, when a bell shrilled. Damn it. I thought I turned all those off! Scarlet said silently. She raised her head, to come face-to-face with “Spike’s” navel.
“You.” Her eyes narrowed. “Char-” She began, but he shushed her.
“I’ve… I’ve come to join you, Scarlet. I want to be volatile, too.” Charlie whispered, then smiled.
“Well, then, I guess I’d better teach you how to silence alarm systems.”

    What about Scarlet, Clown
    Nicely done, Charlie.
    I like the (I believe) reverse psychology at the end.
