~ The Gorillaz or anything Gorillaz related, I do not own… yet… but for now they belong to Jamie Hewlet and Damon Alban. This is rated T for what happened, but be warned M is for murdoc! So view discretion is advised!

Aw, a typical day at Kong Studios, the Gorillaz HQ! There latest album "Demon Days" was released not that long ago, and interview request were poppin in left and right for the band members. Except for two of them, who were left behind.

"I don't understand this crap!" murdoc yelled as he banged his fist against the kitchen table, luckily not hitting anything on it. "IT'S MY BAND!" He yelled loudly at the telephone sitting inches from him. On the other end of the line you could hear who else but Russell, and 2d.

"Look man, I know you want'd to come to ya know? But hey, the only did send two tickets, for me and D here, ya dig?" the loud speaker said. It has been at least 2 hours now, that murdoc had been yelling to the poor telephone. A lot of things in sight were smashed to the point of not being able to identify the body.

"I don' think you understand! How did lard and face ache get invited before meh! Huh? Blasted yanks don't know what there doing when it comes to selection of the BEST!"

By this time, Murdoc's eyes looked as though they would pop from his head any minuet.

Then some sudden static came from the phone and a new voice got on the line "I fink your just upset Murdoc, because you stuck with Noodle-girl for a few weeks!" 2d snickered

"Speaking of… You best not be hurtin my baby girl, or else your gonna get a"

"I KNOW! She's my least concern right now! Noodle hasn't even talked to me yet today." Murdoc said, now taking the phone off loud speaker, and pulling it towards his ear. "You wanna talk to her?" he said, now looking at his red pinky, "fine hold your breath 2-dents"

On the other end of the phone you could hear Russell yelling "BREATH STU BREATH!" and a fairly loud gasp for air.

"he told meh to hold meh breath though?" poor 2d, he was the type of crayon in the box that no one used because it was too bright. Murdoc laughed mentally, it was funnier when Russell wasn't around, and murdoc could video tape it.

Murdoc found his way to the door that led to a room with the number 17 printed across it. noodles room, he knocked quietly. "Ooo Noodle!" he said with a mocking voice, "you have a phone call!" he snickered quietly. As the door creaked open, he saw the 13 year old noodle, head tilted slightly.

"A phone call?" she asked quietly, as she was handed the phone, she greeted 2d on the other end, and entered her room, and closed to door, in Murdoc's face.

"Teenagers, what do you do with them?" he said, as he walked down to the lobby, and flicked on the 'telly' and saw boxing was on. As he watched the men, go into a bloody battle of the fist, his mind wondered off into the day he found out he wouldn't be getting interviewed.

~flash back~

The sum-what annual video game off was happening again the gorillaz home. It was nice that now noodle wasn't by herself, she could now have some battle with some who wasn't called 'com' of course though 2d hasn't gotten any better. Russell was in the kitchen, looking threw the mail, as always, and of course sorting it. "Junk, junk, junk, bills, bills, love note to 2d, another for 2d, and a- Death threat note to murdoc…" he threw that behind him and continued.

"AW!" 2d yelled from the lobby, "I hate yew Mario, I hate yew soo much" he muttered as noodle clamed victories again. Just then Russell walked in, with a letter in his hand and a big smile on his face. "Wot is it Russ?" 2d asked.

"Me and D are going to New York baby!" he said excitedly, noodle smiled, but then a thought came across her face.

"Wait- just you and 2d-san? Me and murdoc not going?" She asked some what worried.

Then came the sound of Cuban heels hitting a cold floor, "what do you mean, Murdoc's not going?" he asked, looking a Russell with an evil glare. As he took the letter out of Russell's hands and read…

'Congratulations! With your latest release of demon days, Btv is going to celebrate the gorillaz reunion with a 2 hour special interview of the following members!'

Then badly written below it, in pen, were the names of the drummer and the singer.

'We encourage you to take a luxury cruse down to America, and take a tour of our station in New York, NY! While here, you will take place in our 5 star hotels and enjoy yourself to the highest level… not also to mention we did talk to your manager, and you will be coming down here for a 8 week get away if you like it or not'

-Boss

"FUCK!" murdoc yelled and so, the next two days, the members would hear non stop yelling from murdoc, and poor 2d would get more bruises that week. Might have even been a new record. On the 2nd nite, 2d and Russell decided to leave when murdoc was asleep, and left noodle a note under her door… just to leave with no more unnecessary swelling.

~flash back over~

"um, murdoc-san?" Noodle asked, curiously looking at the man, who was looking at nothing impiticular. Just staring, at the wall, on the sofa, he almost looked like 2d for a second. He suddenly snapped his attention to noodle.

"What?" He snapped, Noodle jumped back a bit, and passed murdoc his cell phone. "Oh…" he said, taking it back. Noodle quietly turned around, and headed back upstairs to her room. 'She sure does seem oftly quiet, haven't seen her jump around at all today'

After a few hours of sitting on the couch, doing nothing, he herd come foot steps upstairs. "For Pete sake, Id rather have face ache here, then be bored out of my mind" he says, and he heads to his Winnebago, with his greeting pet, Cortez.

Meanwhile, up in Noodles room

She lay on her, bed, with some Beatles tunes, playing from her speakers. She had changed from day time clothing, to her PJ's; one of her favorites, black short sweats, and a light blue tang top. Kong seemed to be not as cold as it has been before, so it was a 'why not' situation. Her eyes, locked on the cell phone, waiting for something to happen. Suddenly from her laptop, she herd a ding, and went to it immediately. She was now looking for any source of entertainment, available, and she got the best. 2d

"Ello love! How yew doing over there with the giant pimple?" 2d asked in instant message, she giggled.

"I'm fine 2d! It's just boring here." She said, while adding a sad emoticon to the end of it. It read 'TusPot23 is typing'

"Yew ain' trustin him to much are ya? I've made dat mistake to many timez"

Noodle sighed, as she put her fingers on the home row of keys, and thought of what she would type. After all this is 2d, the victim of this man who had to take several hospital trips due to him is asking her, if she trust him. But also, what ever the answer was, 2d would forget it in the morning one way or another. It was still good to play if safe though.

"I Would never trust murdoc with a butter knife, let alone myself lol" she entered

"Wait we' are talking about murdoc? I though we waz talkin bout the giant pimple…"

Noodle didn't really know how to respond to that one, except for simply typing ":D" 2ds favorite emoticon, soon followed with another "LOL"

"Russ wants to know if you've had dinner yet" she looked at the clock, geez, 7 already?

"I'm about too, I forgot lol, btw, what happened to your other screen name?" she replied

"You mean teh 'DentedHoleMan'?" and sent another message "I got to many ehh, suggesting messages…" she laughed

She simply replied with a 'lol'

Suddenly, she got a pop up message saying "Coco1974: NoodleGirl90, do you know how to work a noodle well ;)" she blushed intensely, and closed that box, and went back to 2d's
"I need to change mine too now, brb, I'm gonna make something to eat" she typed

"Hb noods"

Noodle grabbed a small jacket, and slippers along with her to almost 'accessorize' her. Quietly going into the kitchen, she decided, on something simple, Mac and chesses. Noodle did survive off of the stuff, when she was in Kong alone for so long, she didn't even need instructions. As she started to cook the lil macaroni's she thought, 'is murdoc hungry?'

~back to Murdoc's Winnebago

He was looking at Cortez, who was sitting on his forearm, what a nice bird. It was almost as if he was talking to it, in silence…. Well at least silence until a knock came at the door. And the raven flew off to another location; murdoc got up, and opened the door, to see noodle, with a bowl in her hand.

"Yes noodle?" he said quietly, and what almost seemed like a growl at the end.

She lifted the bowl with Mac and chesses in it, along with a fork as an offering to murdoc "are you hungry?" she asked. Murdoc gave her a questioning look; she then pulled a beer from her pocket with it.

"You know me to well" he said with a laugh, grabbing the bowl, and can. "Thanks luv" he said with a smile. She smiled back at him, and went off to go eat her own. Closing the door with his foot, murdoc looked at the substance in the green bowl. Smelt good, looked good, and must be good. As he took the first bite, he admitted, it was pretty good, not bad for out of the box. 'Who would have known noodle was so good at cooking noodles' he laughed to himself and turned on the telly. It was on the news; they were going on about some tragic accident on the highway. His mind wasn't on that though, it was on noodle.

He never had conversations with her, nor did he ever see her that much. Perhaps these weeks maybe a lot longer then it sounds with just him and the girl at Kong. She couldn't be that much of a problem could she? Pfft, ya right, this is noodle were talking about, Japanese army warrior! But, still a pre-teen and that alone could be scary, even to a devil worshiper.

Long ago, Noodle could only speak Japanese, when she first got here. She was short too, 3 foot 2 of her. Over the time of recording videos, she got smarter, and learned english, murdoc had to admit though, they didn't talk much to each other in that time. But now, look at her; she's a pre-teen now, and a bit taller. She was more talk able too, he still hadn't decided if that was a good thing or not. But the one thing that didn't change was Murdoc's bow to never hurt noodle. It's not just because she was a girl, but, because she would never be capable of doing anything to piss off murdoc that much… but by the time he new it, he was done with the meal.

As he looked down at the empty bowl, he popped open the can of beer, and decided to enjoy the rest of the nite.

"Perhaps, this wont be to bad after all"

~back to noodle

"What'd you have for dinner?" she asked, waiting for the dented man to reply

"Just lobster… did yew know that they cook them alive!" noodle giggled to herself

"No, I didn't know that" she tried to make him feel smarter. Then she typed "Does your laptop have a cam?"

as she waited for a reply, she opened up a youtube page, and started looking at funny cat videos, to pass time. After watchin a few popular ones, her browsing some how got her into a little kid claming that 'Charlie bit me'. Then she herd ringing, from her laptop? Going back to 2ds chat box, she saw that he was calling her. She clicked the green answer button, and both he, and her were on cam and could hear each other. Behind him was red wallpaper, with fancy design, and a big bed, with a large TV as well. "Russ! You'll nevah believe it! Noods is on the computah screen!" noodle laughed and saw Russell come from the left of 2d.

"How you doing baby girl?" he asked with a chuckle 'today's technology'

"Hello Russell-san! I'm doing good" she smiled "how much longer you guys gonna be away for?"

2d looked down and counted with his fingers "ehh 'bout 7 weeks and uhh 6 days" he answered with another toothless grin.

"It's boring already" she said as she moved the laptop, so then it was on her lap.

"Hey, see if you can get murdoc to come talk to us!" Russell said

"Yeh!"2d said as he looked up into the screen closer. "I wanna see his face! Plus dis time, He can't hit meh either!"

Noodle nodded, and took the laptop with her, down to the car park. She tried to go quietly, but it was hard when she could hear 2d singing his own parody of feel good Inc, he called it 'feelin good' "do do do do do do feelin good, do do do do do do feelin good…" as this continued she giggled softly, making her way to the Winnie bago. She knocked quickly, waiting for murdoc to answer. She herd some grumbling and then murdoc was at the door.

"Yes?" he said almost sleepily or annoyed voice; noodle opened her laptop, and showed Russell and 2d waving to him

"They wanted to say hi" she said with a giggle. Murdoc took the lappy, and looked into it and herd 2d yell

"HI MURDOC!" he was too excited, he just rambled on and on about the cruise, to the point of it be not understandable. Murdoc sighed, he really wanted to hit him right now. Instead, he just continued nodding his head, as if he was listening, noodle was looking at him with amusement. Suddenly, the screen started going to static, "what the?" he gave it back to noodle, she looked curiously at it.

"Looks like something wrong with the wifi-"but then the whole screen turned black. "Weird" she whispered. Not even seconds after, booms were herd from outside. As the lights twitched they turned off with a loud crack.

It was pitch black

Noodle squealed and held the computer close to her, "M-murdoc! I can't see anything!" she whimpered. Murdoc was right next to her, and put his hand on her shoulder, this made her jump.

"Relax, the power just got serge is all, I can fix it in the morning." (The morning to murdoc would be around three in the afternoon) He said, he didn't have a big problem with the dark at all, he could see fairly well in it too. Noodle on the other hand, was on the fence of being scared, or not caring. Murdoc thought she didn't care much himself though. "Why don't you go to bed?" he asked.

"Al-alright, nite murdoc-san" she whispered, as she felt her way to the elevator, which didn't work. She kept pressing the button, praying to hear Shaun's voice. With no luck, she herd to Winnebago door close. Of course, noodle did know her way threw Kong no problem; she just knew, that she had to go outside, and re enter Kong to get to her floor. As she slowly made her way outside, she saw, it was indeedly thunder storming again. 'Maybe I should just go to murdoc' she though 'but Id never ever stay in the bago over nite, nor would he ever let me' she sighed, and made her way out into the muddy graveyard. 'Besides, I don't even think he wants to around me too' she sighed.

Noodle countinuned walking, but something stopped her, from cotinuing to walk

"ZOMBIE!"

Franticly trying to get away, the laptop fell from her grasp, along with her strength. It was to dark, she couldn't see where they were! Noodle could just see the silhouettes of them coming towards her. Continuing to back up, a tomb stone blocked her, and hands started grabbing at her feet below. Yelling now, for any help, she tried to run faster but a moldy hand grabbed her arm, and then another. They were grabbing at her arms, pulling her in different directions.

Noodle couldn't stop the tears from falling down her face, that was her least concern, for all she knew, she was going to die. Not giving up, she continued to pull away, now receiving scratch marks on her arms. She soon blindly hit a tree 'GET UP AND FIGHT NOODLE!' the voice in her head screamed, but it seemed, noodle couldn't move another inch. As she shrunk to the ground below the tree, she would see the zombies now surrounding her. She closed her eyes tightly, hopping to die a quick death, she felt blood splatter across her face.

The cold blood rolled down her cheeks, and felt more and more of it, she was covered in blood. But how was she not hurt? Slowly gather up the courage to look, she opened one eye and saw murdoc, slashing at the zombies with a scythe. 'no that couldn't be, he would never help me…'Was he, saving her? His cape kept blowing in the wind, making the scene seems even dramatic then it needed to be. Noodle now understood that it was a 'save the damsel in distress' thing now, figure how she was also in a state of panic, and helpless. She couldn't keep herself, from crying, she couldn't move away or run at all.

She froze

Murdoc continued to swing at the zombie's heads, until they started to back away. Breathing heavily, he cursed at them, and looked behind. Noodle was still crying, eyes wide open; poor thing was covered in blood and who knows what else. He took another look back, and saw one more, and quickly cut its head off. "Fuckers" he said, turning his attention back to noodle. She now hand hands around her neck, choking her. With pure instinct, murdoc chopped the hands lose from the dead carcass that still moved "DIE ALREADY!" he yelled. Then quickly picking up the shaking noodle, he ran back to the car park. While he ran, noodle could hear his breaths as he took every step.

Suddenly Noodle started grasping for air murdoc looked at her again and saw the hands were still on her, and moving. He pulled them off, and tossed them to the side; noodle pulled her arms around his neck, without thinking and hung on for dear life. she rested her head on his shoulder, it seem very calming to say the least. Seemed like hours until she could hear the cement floor echo with the help of Cuban heels. She then herd a creek, and a slam, it wasn't cold anymore.

"Are you ok noodle?" murdoc asked, noodle couldn't let go of her grip, she was scared out her wits. Murdoc wasn't the best person for something like this ever, but he couldn't just leave her like this. "Its ok noodle, there not here anymore luv" he soothed her; then rubbing her back, trying to ease her. Her grip loosed a bit but she still clung to him.

"M-murdoc?" she whispered, as reality began to flow back into her; she was still shaking from either fear, or coldness, either way, murdoc could help her. She slowly looked up, and saw that it was really murdoc who did it. Quickly, she realized her grip, and fell backwards trying to back away "Sorry! I didn-didn't mean to I swear! It-it won't happen again!" Noodle pleaded holding her head in her own arms. For a second, she thought that he was going to yell at her as if she was 2d. She back was against the table in the 'bago as murdoc sat across from her.

"Noodle what are you talking about?" He said, as he knelt down to her "it was a zombie attack, not your fault" he said looking down at her. He took the back of his hand, and tried to pull her arms away from her face. She still stayed with a tight grip, not even willing to budge.

"No-no that's not what I men-ment the sorry for" she said quietly "I ment it for…um… Hu-huging you." Noodle, now being embraced, she was glad he couldn't see her blushing.

Murdoc sighed, "Com'on, lets get this zombie blood off of you before you get sick" he said while making his way to the 'bathroom' he then realized that there wasn't really anything in there to, wash with, or anything clean really. Luckily, he did find some sanitation wipes one of his 'lady friends' must have left behind. There were a whole bunch of packets of them. He made his way back to noodle; he saw that she still didn't have her eyes adjusted to the darkness yet; but was now wiping her eyes, so they would be free of tears. But every now and again another drop would fall.

As murdoc sat on the old sofa, he picked up noodle, and sat her down next to him. "Why didn't you fight them luv?" Murdoc asked as he opened a small white packet. Noodle was thinking of a way to enplane it in his language; even though she found it hard to find one in her own. Why of all times, did her bangs not cover her eyes?

As she sat there, she lowered her head in pure shame. "I-I froze" she whispered in heavy accent. Murdoc took his hand and put it under noodles chin, and made her look at him. As he started wiping off the decaying blood from noodles face, she found that she need to enplane more. "It's like…like I forgot how to fight or something…" as a tear then trailed down her right cheek. Murdoc was looking into her eyes, and honestly, it was kinda creepy to say the least. But his gaze wasn't imitating, it was more, understanding then threatening. Suddenly murdoc took his thumb and whipped the tear off from her cheek.

Wait, was murdoc acting nice?

"Look here noods, every one does tense up like taht, not just yew…" now going to her other side of her face with the small tissue. Her pale skin still had some streaks of blood, even if he went over it twice. Soon the tissue became dry, and he had to use another. "how much zombie guts you go on ya' anyhow?" he asked looking at her intensely. How she was suppose to answer that, she didn't know how many were killed, let alone how much. Noodle then looked down into her hands, and saw the blood, starting to dry on them.

"Too much" she whimpered, then it hit noodle. Was she shy around murdoc? Why was she acting like he was a stranger, even though they have lived together so long before.

Murdoc soon found that the new cloth was getting worn out as well. "Well, looks like your stayin down here tonight, at least till the power gets turned back on." Murdoc said as he went into his little bedroom. Noodle sat there, not sure what to do next. Should she follow him? Or just stay here til she can see the light. 'Murdoc's letting me stay here, is that a good thing?' Suddenly, she herd the flow of water, coming from around the corner. She slowly walked over, careful to not trip on anything, but evidently made her way to the so called 'bathroom'. What she saw, shocked her, it was something she would have never thought to see in her life.

Murdoc was starting a bath for her.

Surprisingly, this didn't scare her; it made her feel more welcome. Noodle had to admit, she was always afraid of murdoc to some level. Always seeing him beat up 2d, or curse for no real big particular reason… he wasn't to most ideal role model to go by. Now that she was thinking of it, Noodle's never been left alone with murdoc before; nor have they spent this much time together, without one being knocked out from a pub fight. When Murdoc came back to Kong, it was as if he didn't change. Remembering the time was not the best moment for the two.

~ flash back ~

2d had just gotten back to Kong himself, and Noodle was still hugging him tightly. She missed her family to much to not hug him half to death. "I missed yew too Noodles" 2d said, while patting her back. Suddenly, the door to the lobby opened, both of them looked, and both had a different reaction. 2d fell backwards and hit a wall, "mu-murdoc" he whispered in pure fear, while noodle ran up and hugged him.

"wha' the…" he growled and saw the little Japanese guitarist below him, holding him tightly. "Git off meh" he said in a low voice. Noodle looked up at him in fear and backed away as instructed. And with that murdoc just walked back into the car park, to see his Winnie bago.

Almost as if, he never left, or had missed anyone.

~End of Flash back ~

Noodle opened her eyes and looked up, and saw murdoc before her, towel in hand. "How bout you git yourself cleaned up now?" he asked the little noodle. With a simple nod as an answer, murdoc led her to the tub. "Now I know I aint got that fancy-pansy Cherry cent blah blah, but I do have a bar of soap." He said noodle smiled happily with the offering he was giving to her. "I'll be looking for something for yew to wear alrigh?"

The girl nodded "Domo Murdoc-san" she smiled. Murdoc closed the door behind him, leaving noodle, to clean up.

The Satanist continued his way to his bedroom and looked for something small enough for her to wear tonight. Of course, he couldn't find anything that wouldn't just slip off of her easily. Waiting for some light bulb to pop into his head, he got one of the worst, but it was worth a try. Quietly, murdoc got out of the 'cribs crib' (MTV Cribs reference) and went off to the dullards room. On the door was a sticky note that read…

Stayed away form my room murdoche

To tell you the truth, murdoc didn't know if 2d was trying to insult him, or just has horrible spelling. Either way, he's gonna get a few more bruises do to it. When he got inside, it wasn't hard for murdoc to find some clothing. There was some all over the room, and some, that looked very questionable. Soon enough, he found small white t-shirt, with a pair of short jeans. Well they were short to 2d, long to noodle. By the time he made it back to his own home, noodle was now draining the water.

Only in cartoons does it have this type of timing, so who has it happening to them? Discarding the question, murdoc got next to the bathroom door and knocked. "Hai?"

"I uhh, found some clothing fer ya" murdoc said, just cracking the door open enough to hand noodle the clothing. He went back up to the front seat, and saw Cortez was waiting for him up there. He looked into the crows eyes "I know what you mean" he grumbled as the black feathered demon squawked.

Noodle walked out of the to small of a bathroom, and met murdoc upfront in the drivers seat. "Domo Murdoc, I feel much better now" she said with a smile and took a seat in the passenger's chair.

Murdoc looked at her from the corner of his eye, she looked much better. Wasn't crying anymore at least, "how bout yews go ahead and go to bed" murdoc said. Noodle looked behind her, and she knew damn well that she would not go on that bed. She then gave a look to murdoc that said 'where is that cause I aint going on the diseased mattresses. Noodle had gotten good at talking with no words, since for a while, she didn't know any words. "Teh couch good?" she nodded happily and walked off, while she left, murdoc saw some writing on the back of the white shirt.

'I only buy black shirts'

Only the dullard…

Noodle sat up on the couch, and tried to lay back, but it was hard to not constantly look around. After all, it was the Winnie bago were talking about, the place that's complements Murdoc's great… charm? The little Japanese guitarist eyes still haven't adjusted yet, she never was ever in pure dark like this. Her room did always have some sort of night light on at least. Suddenly she felt the movement of some ones foots steps, had to be murdoc. They steps passed her, and the slight rocking stopped. Suddenly a gust of air and a hard hit of rough material smacked noodle in the face. She screamed due to the sudden attack, followed by a horribly loud laughing from next to her.

"Your so jumpy noods!" murdoc laughed at the still shocked pre-teen. She pulled the blanket off her face, and looked at murdoc angrily. Murdoc continued his laughing as he walked into the back again. 'I don't think you'd be any less jumpy if you were almost killed by zombies…' noodle thought to herself. She grabbed her arm trying to comfort herself, and felt a small drizzle of liquid go down it. Noodle took her hand to the liquid and pulled it towards her face, she wa-

SMACK

As the pillow hit her face, murdoc laughed even more this time "Talk about 1 bird and 2 stones!" he laughed again. She just sat there and let the pillow go down by itself. She looked at murdoc with heavy eyes

"I'm bleeding"

It was like a shot just hit murdoc in the chest, he stop imideniantaly and walked toward noodle. She lifted her left arm, to show the stream of blood that now dripped on her lap. "You really got a beatin out there didn't you noods?" he said while taking her arm into his hand. Now finally seeing the small bruises that covered it, and other limbs. "The bastards got you right on your vein" her eyes widened as he put pressure on the source of bleeding. He really did have a strong grip, she's seen it before, but actually experiencing it was impressive. After about 30 seconds of him holding down on the cut with his thumb, and pulled away to see how much more would come out. As smaller drizzle came from the wound "damn", he muttered as he walked away again, to leave her to fend for herself. "Keep holding down on it" Murdoc said from down the small hall. Noodle did as instructed and held down on it with her right hand, but she felt like she was being watched.

She looked to her right and saw the crow looking at her. A shiver went down her spine as the feathered demon stared into her soul. The bird tilted its head slightly to the right, not taking his gaze off of noodle. "Nice to see you again too Cortez." She smiled at the crow. Noodle looked down at her hand, and realized the situation, 'maybe I can trust murdoc after all' she smiled. She looked back at the crow and said in her own Japanese words "I know what you mean"

When Noodle was left at Kong to clean out the zombies, Cortez stayed with her for some time, (He was in charge of eating the eyeballs) but ever since murdoc had come back, she barely saw him anymore. Grumbles were herd from behind her, along with foot steps. "This should hold you up til the morning" he said while holding out a two foot long bandage. He sat back down next to noodle and took her left arm into his hands. Noodle removed her hand, so then he could start putting the material on her arm, her eyes we're fixed on his hands. The older hands were in fairly bad shaped compared to hers. His famous red pinky was the thing that was most visible in the dark, besides the skull rings glare. Noodle tried hard to see his hands, but she could just see a lighter shadow of them, other then everything else.

"Tell me noodle, what happened to the Japanese military weapon out there?" his voice broke the silence. He finished wrapping the bandage over her cut, and tied it in a knot as a substitute of tape. Noodle couldn't think of the solution, she knew that if she gave the wrong answer, Murdoc would not let her live it down for as long as he lived. But she didn't even know an answer to it, she just held her breath, and tried the one thing she knew.

Swallowing her pride, she said something she would usually never say. "I was scared" in plain accent english. Murdoc gave her a questioning look, letting Noodle have her arm back, and he leaned back into the old sofa.

"Bull freaking Shit" he scolded. "I thought you've delt with zombies PLENTY of times in the past to think of this as NOTHING. Infact, if I recall, when yews were little, you'd watch zombie movies with face ache, and didn't even have any nightmares. WHY would this just happen?" His once nice glare faded into a murdoc look, the only kind, Murdoc could pull off. "Just 'cause you're lil zombie expert aint here, yew are all scared?" her lip started to quiver as his anger finally unleashed. "Yew know wot? I BET, Yew were doing it just for ATTENTION! MAYBE EV-"

"I WAS SCARED!" she yelled as she broke down into tears. Taking murdoc a bit by shock "I'm so sorry that I-I didn't know I couldn't be scared here!" she started speaking her foreign language with out realizing it. Until she finally broke back into her english voice, "I froze OK? I-I-… I have destroyed several zombies by myself" her voice shrunk lower "The stuff I saw when I had to clean out Kong ALL ALONE still haunts me! And it doesn't… ever… mean I can't be scared!" she held her head in her hands. "and you're wrong…. I did have nightmares, a lot of them!" she whimpered something low enough to murdoc barely hear "At least 2d was there for me then"

Murdoc stood up from the sofa enraged and looked down at noodle "YEW THINK I WASN'T THERE FER YEW!" he clenched his fist tight enough, that his knuckles were turning white. "I know that when we were on tour you- hey where are you going?" he saw noodle pull open the door, and started going down the small flight of stairs. "We are not done here yet missy!" He hollered. Noodle didn't even look back, and just continued on to 2ds temporarily abandoned room.

"YOU BETTER NOT GO IN THERE!" Murdoc yelled, as noodle finally stopped. She looked over her shoulder and the devil worshiper that still stood at the open door. Just loud enough for him to hear, she said under her voice.

"You're not my father"

as the slam of the door echoed threw to pitch black car park, Murdoc's jaw dropped. Almost frozen in place, the thought of noodle putting the words 'you're' and 'father' in the same sentence that was directed towards him, gave the older man chills.

"For fucks sake"

another door slamming echoed threw the car park.

Not bad huh?

Remember, mainly rated T for Trouble that happens in this, and M for murdoc
