The young girl sat staring outside the window in the yellow taxicab. Her slender hands ran through her curly brown hair. Looking down at the toddler sleeping peacefully next to her, she sighed. She was thinking very hard about what had happened these past few days.

'They found my father...apparently. We were forced on a seven-hour trip to get here. I was worried about all of that. Now I'm worried if he will love us or not.'

They pulled up to a long narrow road. The taxi driver turned around and said, "I would drive up there, but there are too many zombies, and they keep me from getting out."

...Zombies? God, this man must be on crack or something.

"No, its fine, I think the zombies won't try to get us." She said, trying to sound as though she didn't think he was mentally insane.

They opened the door and the young girl, Meghan, picked up her little sister, Taylor. The man popped the trunk where their suitcases lie. She grabbed their bags and headed up the hill.

She walked up to the front door, letting out a deep breath. Okay, he was right...there were zombies. And tons of them tried to get at her. She managed to get past all of the zombies carrying the little girl. She took a deep breath and knocked. All of the memories came back to her. A young girl around the age of 16 answered the door.

"Yes, may I help you," the young girl said. She had deep purple hair and a Japanese accent.

"Hi, I'm Meghan, and this is my sister, Taylor, and we are here to see Mr. Murdoc Nicalls," she replied in a nervous tone. She breathed out for the first time in a long time.

"Yes, come on in and I'll have someone get him for you, Meghan-san," she replied. "Oh, and by the way, my name is Noodle."

Meghan smiled. She walked into the house and stood in the...lobby? Noodle had disappeared for a moment and Meghan took this moment to sit down and just relax. Of course, it was only a matter of minutes she heard a squeal, and then heavy footsteps.

Noodle came back in and said, "Murdoc-san is not yet ready, and I don't think you would like to see him in his underwear."

Noodle and Meghan laughed, while Taylor stared at them.

"Meehan, who that?" Taylor said pointing to Noodle.

"She's so cute, how old is she?" Noodle asked.

"Well, Taylor is 3 and I am 13, she explained.

"Oh, well she's a cutie."

"Thank you," Meghan replied.

"If you don't mind me asking, why are you here for Murdoc?"

"Well, our mother was Nadia Gordon, and she passed away when I was nine. We're here to-"

Suddenly she was cut off by a loud, scratchy voice.

"What the bloody hell is going on here, I mean, who would make Dullard wake me up at bloody 8 a.m.?!" Murdoc screamed at Noodle as he walked into the lobby, clad in only underwear. Then he looked over at Meghan and Taylor.

"Who the bloody hell are you two?!"

"I am guessing that you are the famous Murdoc Nicalls, "Meghan finally got out.

"Who wants to know?" Murdoc growled. She sighed.

"My name is Meghan and this is my sister, Taylor," Meghan explained.

"Why should I care?!" he screamed at her. "God, is this the only fucking reason the Dullard woke me up?!"

She was not unfazed by his screaming rants and she replied in a calm voice, "I would keep your voice down if I were you; you wouldn't want to scare your daughter. Unlike me, my sister Taylor is scared very easily."

"You guys are Murdoc's daughters?" Noodle asked in a shocked voice. Murdoc just stared at

They heard a loud thud as the green 42-year-old man passed out.

When he woke up, he found three people staring at him; Meghan, Noodle, and Taylor.

"What the bloody hell are you doing there just standing there?! Help me up!" he screamed. They quickly lifted him up and sat him down on a nearby couch.

"What are you two doing here; Shouldn't your mother be taking care of you? Lazy bitch..." Murdoc mumbled. He scowled at the two kids in front of him.

"She was until she was murdered, and we only came here because we thought you could help us find her killer," Meghan replied. Murdoc just rolled his eyes.

"How do I even know you're my kids? What if you're just obsessive fans? Murdoc pondered.

Meghan sighed and turned around. She fumbled with her eyes and turned back. Noodle and Murdoc gasped.

She had the same discolored eyes as Murdoc. One red and one black.
