A/N: I would like to give half credit to Flozo23 for helping me out with the little role-play that we did over private messaging for a while.
I kind of want to do a slight homage to Psych's episode 100 Clues because that episode was one of my favorites.
The manor looked made out of stone. It was probably four stories tall with God knows how many rooms.
It looked like something straight out of Clue.
"Do you think someone will end up dead if we go in there?" Megan asked and 10K looked at her.
"Probably," 10K replied.
Megan noticed a plaque and nudged 10K. She whispered to him, "hey. This says, Blackbird Manor was donated by the Chocolate Room in the 1930's."
Warren looked up at the building; it looked like there was no one in there. She thought about the hotel, it looked like no one was there, but there were. How many people are hiding out in there? Who would frame 10K this time?
They walked up to the doors and looked through the windows. It seemed empty, but she couldn't be sure.
"Should we kick the door in?" Vasquez asked.
Addy turned the doorknob and pushed the door in. She looked at the others and shrugged. She looked inside the house. There was a grand staircase, a wardrobe, a side table with a candy dish on it; it looked like there were a few rooms, and a hallway. No one was pointing guns at her and everything oddly looked dust-free, along with zombie-free. She looked at the others, "it's all good."
They walked in the manor and looked around. There was a clanging sound and Addy looked behind her.
Megan was holding the bowl upside down and 10K was trying to pull something out of the bowl. She asked, "who the hell glues candy inside a bowl?" She threw the candy dish on the ground, however it didn't shatter. She looked at the dish and picked it up, "its plastic."
10K grabbed the bowl and looked at it. He looked at her and looked like he was going to say something, "never mind."
Megan scowled, "use your words."
"I was going to say its plastic, like the airbags on your chest," 10K replied.
Megan stared, "you were correct on not saying anything." She noticed how the others looked at her boobs. She closed her jacket and crossed her arms. Addy still stared even after the others looked away. "Can I help you?"
Addy shook her head and looked away. 10K tried hard not to laugh and Megan pulled his head down so she can whisper in his ear. She whispered, "I'm going to look for the Chocolate Room."
"Of course you will," 10K replied. For all he knew, there was no such thing as the Chocolate Room. On the plaque, it said, 'donated by the Chocolate Room.' It didn't mean there was a fucking Chocolate Room somewhere.
10K went upstairs and turned left. Megan followed him and whispered, "chocolate room."
"If there's a chocolate room, that shit will horrible." 10K replied and realized what he just said.
He noticed how Megan smiled and she said, "it's good to have you back my little alley-cat."
10K didn't want to turn back into that mess of a fourteen year old, who swore way too much which made construction workers blush, especially after that incident in Taco Bell. He replied with, "whatever. Don't call me that."
Megan smiled anyway and 10K noticed a framed portrait covered in dusty cobwebs. He was a little curious about why everything else wasn't dusty or cobwebby, but the pictures were.
He pulled down the cobwebs and backed the hell up, staring at…
"Motherfucking Donald Trump! What the actual fucking hell? Jesus fucking Noah!"
Downstairs, the others looked at each other. Warren stated, "I'll go see what happened." She went upstairs and looked down the hallway at the other two.
Megan had her mouth covered and 10K was looking down the hallway. 10K asked, "oh my god, who said all that?"
He looked at Warren, who had her hands on her hips, as if she wasn't amused with him freaking out over a portrait of motherfucking Donald Trump.
Megan was laughing, "I really missed hearing you cuss up a storm."
Warren shook her head and walked down the stairs, "false alarm!"
"What was that all about?" Vasquez asked.
"Nothing to worry about," Warren said.
"Was that…10K?" Addy asked, confused and a little startled.
"Yeah," Warren said.
Doc emerged from a room, "I think you better take a look at this."
"Megan! 10K!" Warren called up the staircase.
The two appeared, leaning over the banister.
"Yes?" Megan asked, looking confused.
"Doc needs to show us something," Warren stated.
Megan looked excited, "did he find the Chocolate Room?"
Doc looked stunned, "there's a chocolate room?"
Warren looked like she was running out of patience. 10K figured that it was because he freaked out over seeing the portrait of motherfucking Donald Trump.
Warren stated, "Doc."
"Oh, right, sorry," Doc said. He waved for them to follow him.
Megan and 10K got to the landing. Vasquez, Megan, and Warren followed after Doc. Murphy appeared and pushed 10K into the doorway, as he followed them.
10K looked annoyed, "he did that as if I never got shoved into things before." He made a face as if he was reminiscing about something. "I miss it."
Addy was confused. "You miss…getting…shoved into things?" She was sure that if Murphy heard that, he would gladly shove 10K into a lot of things.
10K didn't elaborate and went to go find the others. They were surrounding something and he noticed a half-decayed, frozen body in the freezer. God knows how long that body was in the freezer or why it was in there.
"That's not a good place to put a body," Megan said, looking at the decaying body.
10K looked at her, "gee, you think?" Megan nearly flipped him off.
"How long was it in there?" Murphy asked, looking at the dead body and then the others.
"I don't know," Warren said.
10K tilted his head to the side. There was plastic candy, a dead body in the freezer, and now he was hearing chains being dragged against the floor upstairs.
"Please tell me that I'm not the one hearing chains dragging across the floor," Doc said.
Addy actually saw 10K relax as she heard the chains on the floor.
Megan said, "I hear that too. I'll go check it out." She walked by 10K and squeezed his upper arm, before leaving.
"Probably to go look for the mythical Chocolate Room," 10K said.
"Chocolate Room," Doc stated. "You know, I'll go with her."
10K looked like he was going say something but didn't.
Meanwhile:
"So Megan, how long have you known 10K?" Doc asked, after catching up to her.
Megan shrugged and looked in a room. "I've known him since we were ten. I guess four years before the world turned to shit and he ran off with his dad. Somehow he tracked me down last year, saying he had to kill his dad. I comforted him and then he had to leave a few hours later. I was told to call him, 10K."
Doc remembered how Megan said that they almost laid each other. "How far did you two get when you almost…?"
Megan understood the question. "Our shirts were off and I was in my bra. So, there's that."
Doc nodded and motioned to a bookshelf on a wall. "Do you think this bookshelf may be a secret passage to the Chocolate Room?"
Megan and Doc started moving books around, searching for the one that would led to the Chocolate Room. After they went through the books, there was no passageway opening up.
"That's disappointing," Megan said.
Doc nodded in agreement, "yeah."
Megan looked thoughtful, "have you ever done it in chains?"
Doc looked at her as if she asked him how his sex life was going. "Excuse me?"
Megan shook her head, "never mind." She ran a hand through her hair.
"Have I ever…" Doc repeated.
She shook her head again. "I'll just ask 10K that then." Doc wasn't sure if he wanted to know what that was about. "It's weird, you know. We're looking for a Chocolate Room while there's a dead body in the freezer downstairs."
"Welcome to our world," Doc replied.
Megan shrugged, "trust me Doc; you haven't seen nothing yet until you've seen a tree with an ass."
Doc made a spreading motion with his hands. "To think, I thought I've seen it all, but it turns out I didn't because I haven't seen a tree with an ass, yet."
Megan frowned, "what have you seen?"
Doc looked at her and began to tell her about the stuff that they've seen.
Meanwhile:
10K was looking at a picture of something. He had his tilted to the side, as he looked at the picture.
Addy walked up and looked at the picture too. She tilted her head to the side, "I think it's upside down."
10K turned the picture upside down and squinted. "It could be holographic." He tilted the picture a few times. "Nope, it's not holographic."
"Maybe if you tilt it to the left," Addy offered.
10K tilted the picture to the left. "I think its worse tilting it."
Warren and Vasquez were looking at them while Murphy was asleep in a chair.
Doc was on the staircase, looking down at them. "10K, I lost Megan."
"How do you lose a woman?" Addy asked, looking confused.
"You never return," 10K replied.
"You ignore her," Vasquez offered.
"You lose her to Zs," Murphy said.
Warren looked at them, shook her head, and looked at Doc. "How did you lose Megan?"
"I turned my back on her for one minute and she vanishes," Doc explained.
10K nodded, "she's good at that. Give her five minutes, she'll return."
"You lost Megan before?" Warren asked, looking at 10K.
10K shrugged, "a few times. She usually comes back. She was the only one that was hard to find when we played hide-and-seek in the dark."
Addy tried to imagine a younger 10K and Megan playing hide-and-seek, but she just couldn't imagine it.
"I think we all should go looking for Megan. She might end up sharing the freezer with that dead guy," Warren said.
"If she didn't turn into a Z first," 10K replied.
"Let's go look for her." Warren said and the group split up. Murphy and Doc went with each other. Vasquez and Warren went with each other. It just left 10K and Addy to look for Megan, too.
A/N: It was originally a one-shot, but I was thinking that it should be longer, and now its longer.
