Hit and Stay
Just getting out of the Airport 20 year old Milli Martin had just arrived in Essex and immediately ran outside to take a look around. She wore a white strappy top with black going around the straps, a short blue denim skirt with weird patterns on them, big hoop earrings and white gladiator sandals that came to her knee. She also had a small black star tattooed on her left cheek.
She pulled along her little suitcase that had a skull on it.
"Oh wow! This is cool" She said to herself looking at the buildings etc. Her mobile then began to ring in her skirt pocket. She pulled it out and looked at the caller ID. She rolled her eyes and let out a sigh while answering "Yes mum?"
"Milli, what on earth do you think your doing! Going to Essex by yourself, without telling me!" Her mum yelled down the phone.
"Well, you know Mum I did say I wanted to go to Essex and you just ignored me, so technically I did tell you" She argued back in a smug little tone.
"Don't you take that tone with me Young lady! Your father and I have been worried sick and another thing…"
Milli couldn't take another minute of this lecture so she started making breaking up sounds. "Oh no mum…you…aking…up…can't…alk see…bye…beeeeeeeeeep" and with that she hung up the phone to her mum.
Suddenly her mobile went off again announcing she had a text. Milli started reading her text, but also she started to cross a road not looking where she was going until something very hard slammed into her. Causing her to go flying back.
The car door suddenly opened, and a screaming Murdoc ran out saying repeatedly "Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!!" he got to the front of his car and checked for any dents. There weren't any so he let out a sigh of relief. "Thank Satan…"
Russel ran past him heading towards the girl they had hit. "Yo Muds! Man Don't worry about the damn car! Yeh hit someone!"
"Oh shit" Murdoc cursed running over to Russel and the girl he knocked down. 2D had to stay in the Car with 10 year old Noodle and her little cat Coco.
"Wot do we do! Wot do we do!?" Russel kept asking getting panicky. Murdoc slapped him across the face twice "Get a hold of yehself! Now listen, we are gonna get 'er out of 'ere before anyone sees this"
Russel looked around to see that there already was a crowd of people starting to crowd round. "Uh Muds?"
"Yeah, slight glitch in ma plan. Get 'er in teh car and I'll taker care of teh crowd" Murdoc instructed doing all these funny hand motions trying to copy his words.
"Right" and with that Russel lifted Milli up and carried her and her suitcase to their car. 2D, Noodle and Coco stared at the young girl as Russel brought her in, he then put her on 2D's lap.
"Hold 'er would ya" he said taking his seat in the back with her suitcase next to Noodle and Coco. 2D didn't get any say in this, so he just adjusted her so that her hand was not…resting on his crotch. Noodle looked over 2D's shoulder to get a better look at her. She tilted her head to the side, then back straight and smiled. Coco looked at her owner then copied her movements.
"Yes so remember everyone! You were 'ere to witness! A most expertly done and well thought out stunt, that could only have been done by none other than the Gorillaz!" Murdoc announced to the crowd which earned a cheer from all of them. Murdoc milked the moment a bit then got back to the car and drove off.
They arrived back at Kong Studios and placed Milli on the sofa. "Wot do we do with 'er?" 2D asked the two men who watched Milli in her unconscious state.
"Well…We could keep 'er 'ere till she 'eals up" Murdoc suggested putting a finger on his chin. "Really?" Russel asked sounding a bit shocked that Murdoc was the one to suggest it.
"Yeah, I mean where's the 'arm in tha'?" Murdoc asked them as they agreed. While they were talking Noodle and Coco merely stared at Milli on the sofa, very close to her doing a better inspection.
Milli started to stir and slowly opened her eyes, as she did she noticed that she was face to face with a small Japanese girl smiling at her. Milli stared in shock for a couple of seconds before letting out a big scream. Startling Noodle she also let out a big scream. It become a screaming war as they both screamed.
Coco was startled also and darted behind Russel's legs. They all covered their ears to stop the pain from their high pitched screaming. "ALRIGHT! THA'S ENOUGH!!" Murdoc shouted over them, Noodle automatically stopped knowing what Murdoc's loud voice meant. She had tears in her eyes and walked over to Russel. Who picked her up and gave her a comforting cuddle.
"Where the hell am I?" Milli asked looking scared of them. As she started to move she winced in pain and immediately grabbed her side. "Ow! What did you do to me!" she shouted at them.
"Now Look love, there really isn't need for all this shouting. We brought you 'ere because…you got 'it by a car…and the driver sped off leaving you in the road" Murdoc explained, this shocked the other two men as they were about to object Murdoc gave them a glare, which shut them up.
"So…you kidnapped me?" Milli asked them raising an eyebrow. "No! We saved ya" Murdoc corrected her. "Why didn't you just call an ambulance?"
"Cos!….er…we er
"We didn't 'ave our phones at the time" 2D stepped in, which Murdoc smiled at his response. "Yes! Yes! Young 2D 'ere is right. We didn't 'ave our phones at the time"
"Well how come his is sticking out of his pocket?" Milli asked noticing 2D's phone half way out of his pocket. "Er…No battery left" 2D answered quickly, Milli let out a sigh.
"Okay…so what happens now?"
"Well…You could stay 'ere till you 'eal up?" Murdoc suggested to Milli. She gave a look of disbelief at first, but then after looking at them carefully she finally realised who they were. "Oh my God! You guys are the band! Yeah what's it called? Um…"
"Gorillaz"
"Yeah! Wow…Gorillaz saved me, ha well that's something to tell the grandkids" she joked looking down, the three guys looked at each other a bit guilty looking but Murdoc did the ssh sign. She then looked back up at them and noticed Noodle was crying a little bit. "Aww hey I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset" she smiled up at Noodle who wiped her eye and then gave a small smile back. Not really understanding what she had said.
"Yeah, Noods 'ere don't really speak a lot of English yet" Murdoc alerted Milli who kept her eyes on Noodle, not being able to get over how cute she was. She managed to get up and limped over to Russel to take Noodle out of his arms. She held Noodle who smiled at her.
"Its funny, yours is the only name I can remember Noodle" Milli smiled at her. Which put a frown on the others faces. "You don't know our names?" Russel asked her.
"I do…but I can't remember them sorry," she smiled feeling a bit embarrassed. "I mean I listened to your songs a couple of times but then…I er" she paused for a moment and looked a bit sad but then smiled again "Was too busy to listen to music I guess. My name is Milli"
They guys gave an approving smile to her name. All of a sudden Coco hopped up on Milli's shoulder to get to Noodle. "Aww I remember the little cat. She is adorable too" Milli smiled at the little cat.
Murdoc grew tired of her saying how cute Noodle and Coco were, "So er…well enjoy your stay Milli, if ya need me I'll be in my Winnebago" Murdoc announced walking out of the room giving Milli a wink. "I brought your suitcase" Russel said holding up her small suitcase.
"Oh thanks" Milli smiled putting Noodle back on the ground, wincing a little because of the pain in her side. "I'm Russel just to let ya know" he waved at her.
"Russel, hello"
"Yeh and I'm 2D" 2D jumped in smiling his famous smile at her. She jumped a little not noticing his eyes before. "Oh hey…2D, and the other guy is…?"
"Tha's Murdoc" 2D said not taking his eyes off of her still smiling. "Okay" she nodded smiling back at him. She then started to get a little freaked out and decided to change the subject. "Er…so is there somewhere I can freshen up?"
"Yeh, there should be an extra room for ya, I'll take ya" 2D said holding out a hand for her. "Okay" she smiled handing her suitcase to him, thinking that's what he was holding out his hand for.
"Right then…this way" 2D gave an awkward smile as he struggled with her suitcase. Which felt like she was carrying bricks in.
Well that's the first chapter, hope you like it.
