FA: A valuable(and explosive)find
Rita and Roddy raced through the tunnels, trying to lose Whitey, Spike, Ladykiller, and Toad's new henchrat with an unfortunatly friendly sounding name, Keith. Rita ran ahead of Roddy and found a little alcove. She pulled Roddy into the alcove with her and put a hand over his mouth to make double sure he was silent. The four ran right past, and after they were gone Rita stuck her head out of the alcove.
"Alright, Rod. They're gone. The Jammy should be at the docks still. Then we can have a little fun and speed right past them and use the watergun. You want to do the honors?" she asked triumphantly as she jumped over a pipe. Roddy carefully stepped over it, and was not being speedy, heck no. Carefulness before speed, that was Roddy's rule. This was one thing that agitated Rita so much her tail would quiver and then suddenly it would jerk to one side and hit something. It seemed to take the agitation out of her system, and she was normal again after the pain went away.
"Well, you seem to think that the expression, 'a little fun' means teasing and antagonising Toad's henchrats. Oh, yes, antagonising some of the most dangerous rats in the sewers, oh yes that's a good lot of fun, Ri." Roddy mumbled as he tripped over a cable with an "OOMPH!" as he landed on his hands. Rita saw him fall and winced when she saw what he had used to brace his fall. She let out an, "Ooh, ouch, that's gotta hurt." as she walked back to help him up. He used this opportunity to run ahead of her and beat her to the Dodger. He got up, dusted himself off casually, smiled and took off running.
"Are you going to try to catch up with me, Rita?" he called back.
"Oi! Get your butt back here! Alright, I'm coming after you! Be warned! I can run!" she yelled after him. She took off running and caught up to him in no time. He tripped over a cable, again, and she fell over him. The two tumbled over each other until Roddy was sitting by Rita with an arm over her midsection. The two blushed and sat up. They brushed themselves off and walked the few yards to the Jammy Dodger II. Rita jumped onboard and started up the engine, but it would not start. There was something jammed in it.
"Oh, yeah, absolutely great. Something stuck in the engine starter. Now THAT'S something I won't get fixed in a day. I hope it's small and easy to get out."
Rita opened the hatch to go below deck and immediatly saw the problem. There was something round, like a soccerball stuck in the main reactor valve. She let out a sigh of relief as she nonchalantly walked over to remove it. It was stuck. Rita rubbed her hands together as she readied herself to pull it out. She grabbed it, pulled with all her might and it came loose and she fell back and hit the wall below deck, rocking the boat. She turned it over in her hands and found a black fuse attached to the round thing. She knew this picture. She'd seen this movie. The girl was dumb enough to hold it until it detonated. It was a bomb from up top. She kept a thermos of water below deck in case of an emergency. she took a swig and spit it out on the burning fuse. It didn't go out.
Now what?
Will Rita stop the bomb from detonating? Give me reviews and maybe I'll tell you. Cookies for all! (tosses boxes of oreos out into the crowd)
