Chapter II: A disturbing phone call
2.15 P.M., Corneria City's downtown's cinema.
Falco was waiting there, in front of the building with Katt. He finally saw the two foxes that were running toward him. When they arrived, Fox told them, half-stifled:
-Sorry to be late, we had a little work to finish...
-Haven't you already finished it in the shower last time ? Falco asked, laughing.
-Uuuh, no...I mean... It's not what you're thinking about...
-So you can lie, but try to do it without hem and hawing all the time ! , he chuckled, amused by Fox's habit to mix up clumsily when he is embarrassed.
-Fortunately, there's some ads before the movie's beginning, we've just the time to take some food before going, Katt told them.
They went to the cinema's bar, and started passing their command:
Fox took a coke, Krystal too, Falco a lemonade, Katt an iced-tea and Marcus an orange juice.
The raccoon that has taken all commands asked:
-Is that all ?
When Marcus shook Fox's arm and asked him:
-Can we take some pop-corn dad, please ?
-Yes we can. It's a good idea, Marcus, who wants pop-corn ? he asked the others.
Without surprise, everybody put up his hand.
-So 5 pop-corn with the drinks.
-Here they are.
-Mmm! Marcus made at the view of his pop-corn bucket.
-Don't forget son, the movie lasts 2 hours, so don't eat all during the first fifteen minutes !
Everybody laughed.
2 hours later, they all exited the cinema, very happy of this movie.
-It has been so long we haven't seen a movie together ! Katt exclaimed happily.
-I found the hero so courageous ! Marcus said with enthusiasm.
This is such a sort of crazy man to face the death as if it was nothing, isn't it dad ?"
-Yes, it's really such a fuckin' crazy but brave man.
-Fox ! Don't speak like that in front of Marcus ! Krystal exclaimed.
-Oops, sorry honey, he apologized.
-Don't worry mom, we all usually speak like that at school.
-Yes, yes, ok, she continued, but in all cases, I think too that this movie shows a example of attitude in life.
- « Never give up, trust your instincts », yes I understand... , Fox whispered to himself.
Krystal, who has read this thinking, yelled to him:
-Fox ! Don't get nostalgic now ! It's such a great day !
-Oh yes, yes, you're right, he respond with a smile.
-And after all, who needs a movie hero, when you have one at home ! She remarked, laughing.
-You see, man, you stopped the business a few years ago, but she still considers you as her only and unique hero, you're lucky ! Falco chuckled.
-And... I have mine too for me 24/24, isn't it Falco... , Katt said with a grin.
-But the bad guys were so awful ! Marcus reminded, these huge cruel hands, they didn't have anything human...
-It reminds me someone we know, if you see who I wanna speak of, no ? Falco added.
By the way, Fox, I've just remarked that the son has become as nimble as his father...
-Uh ? What make you say that ?
-Simply that, at the end of the movie I realized that someone has succeeded in stealing the half of my pop-corn !
-It's not really kind, Marcus, I know you love pop-corn, but you've had a whole bucket for yourself ! Fox told to Marcus, even if he was surprised that his young son has been enough hungry to finish 1 bucket and a half of pop-corn by himself.
-But it doesn't matter, Falco grinned, I suppose he need this energy to become as stronger as you, but he's already very smart, I didn't notice anything at all !
Fox whispered to Krystal:
-By the way, I hope you've eaten enough, cause you'll need a lot of energy, I remember you that there's a little work we've postponed to this afternoon...
-What are you talkin' ab... oh yeeeees...I seeeee... but be careful, Marcus could hear us...
-Especially Falco, as I know him it would be even worse... Fox joked.

Suddenly, a phone rang.
-Whose phone is it ? asked Katt.
-Oh, yeah it's mine, Krystal said. She put the phone at her ear and asked:
-Hello ?
-Hello Krystal, It's me, Peppy, can I speak to Fox, please ? He forgot his phone the last time he visited Vivian and me at home, so this is why I am calling him from yours.
-Yes, I'm gonna inform him.
It's Peppy for you, Fox.
Fox took the phone and said:
-Fox McCloud, ready for duty, General ! Hahaha, Hello Peppy, how are ya, and how is Pepper ?
-As usual, always ready to joke, Fox ! Yes, Pepper and me are fine, but it's not time for this. I can't tell to you here and now, but we discovered something very important. Come quickly, you must see that !
-Okay, we'll come as soon as possible ! Fox answered. Peppy rang off.
-Krystal asked:
-So, what's new about Peppy ? Why did he want to speak to you ?
-Hem, he...wants to tell us about something, he hasn't told more...
-Why do you speak so weirdly ? Falco asked.
-I don't know really, this is probably because... there was something disturbing in his manner of speaking, like if... like if he was worrying, like if he looked to fear something, but I don't know what...
-If, once again, your instincts don't lie, I think we must all go to see him immediately... the blue vixen added ... I've got a bad feeling about this too...
-Yep, here we go !

Author Note: I envisage to make the continuation of the story more descriptive, keeping the same or maybe a little less amount of dialogs, I need your opinion to see if I should describe better the environment of the characters, or to concentrate on the dialogs. See ya later ! ^^
