Chapter 2: Prison
It was time to wake up, Gumball had to go to Elmore and see if there was something left he took his rifle, ate his breakfast, hugged Nicole and started the engine "take care Gumball" said Nicole "I will mom, I promise" said Gumball who was not really sure about it.
Gumball went to the entrance of the fence that protected Veronica, it was not really safe but it was better than nothing.
"Ready to go sport?" said the guard "yes I am, take care of my mom please" said Gumball "Don't worry son, She'll be ok" the gumball left the town and started his journey
Gumball turned on the radio and tried to look for some station or message from survivors, maybe he could find something.
Not so far from Veronica, there was a place that Gumball knew, it was a place where he met some real men not the kind of douche bags he used to know, and that place was the prison of Veronica
Gumball was looking at it, and then he started to remember…
Week 3
Gumball was watching some TV nothing really interesting, the Red flu was spreading around the world and was killing some people at Elmore, the electricity from the whole world started to fail, with no people at the power plants the systems started to fail
"Awww… shit" said Gumball, there was a blackout, Gumball went to look for a flashlight "Darwin, where are you?" said Gumball trying to find his brother "I'm up here with Anais!" said Darwin
Gumball found the flashlight and went upstairs, his parents were asleep already and Darwin was playing monopoly with Anais
*Crush*
"Did you hear that?" Said Gumball "what?" asked Anais "it sounded like a window…" said Darwin, and he was right someone broke into the Watterson's house
"Darwin take Anais and go to wake mom, stay there and close the door" said Gumball looking for the shotgun "what are you doing?" said Anais who sounded scared "Just go!" said Gumball
Darwin and Anis ran to their parent's room and closed the door without asking Gumball what was he going to do, they had to stop him but they didn't, it was a horrible mistake.
"Who's there!?" shouted Gumball shouted, he heard some voices "listen idiot I have a shotgun and I will shot if you don't get out of here" shouted Gumball
He went to the living room but he couldn't see anything, he was completely blind
Suddenly Gumball woke up from his day dream and kept driving he didn't like that part of the memory, what he did was not his best movement, it was an error but it was worthy
He stopped at an abandoned gas station to look for some gas for the car and for something to eat
He found the keys for the gas pump but he did not have any luck looking for something to eat, but what could he expect almost every store on the entire country was empty or completely destroyed; in fact he was pretty lucky finding some gas.
He continued his journey and he was really hungry, but it was not the first time that he feels hungry
He was near Elmore, it was just another wasteland full of bandits and pseudo-soldiers who fight for "liberty" or simple control of the city and the things left there by the people who died by the Red Flu or the Anarchy on Elmore
Gumball kept driving until he saw something not so far, it was a convoy of the anarchists, it was obvious that they looted, destroyed and burned another town
They were that kind of people that you would not want to mess with, they were too many.
"Don't move Gummypuss" That voice it was easy to recognize, Gumball had a knife on his neck and if he moved just a little he knew he could die
"Well…I thought you were death, now put that knife down or you might hurt somebody Jamie." Said Gumball to that person who was threatening him
In a small judo movement Gumball took down Jamie and took her knife " well it seems that Gummypuss is not a pussy anymore" said Jamie to Gumball, She was on the floor and Gumball was holding her really hard, she couldn't move
"Now tell, me what are you doing here Jamie?" asked Gumball trying to find out what was her objective and her purpose
"Come on Gumball you would not kill or hurt your cell partner, I came here to help you, your people and my people" said Jamie, Gumball was confused "and how are we supposed to do that alone" asked Gumball
"Easy we will take the gas trucks and supplies and the we get fuck out of there" said Jamie explaining her improvised plan "How long did it take you to think that? 12 seconds?..." Replied Gumball "Look you drive I shoot, very simple isn't it?" said Jamie.
Gumball somehow accepted, and then they waited. Gumball fell asleep while waiting and started to dream with his memories.
Week 3
"We got him, man this place is crazy" said the radio of a police car, "Gumball Watterson, you are arrested for the charge of murder" said the police officer holding Gumball and putting him inside of the car.
"Please don't take may son!" Nicole shouted "Sorry ma'am, but it's the law" said the officer "Mom, I will come back but please stay home for other 6 weeks, DON'T GET OUT!" shouted Gumball
Some days later
Gumball was processed and the court said that he was guilty of murdering 4 unarmed people with a shotgun.
Let's get this straight, the number of crimes that were committed in all the US made the government to use brutal force and imprison everybody who made something against the nation and its laws, now everybody who was at least 16 years old could be sentenced to the electric chair, people was going crazy because of the red flu, this made the whole world to be on anarchy.
Gumball was sentenced to death on the electric chair, he was now 16 and the judge said that he was considered a rebel against the nation, and the government hated rebels.
He was taken to the prison of Clocks near Veronica, California.
When he got there, he saw some doctors making some blood tests to all new prisoners, when someone was infected with the red flu he was taken with a group of other infected and were shot
"Welcome to the prison of clocks ladies, you are here because you are the shit of society" said the guard, his name was Rider Veltroni but he was known as Mr. Lucky strike.
He was the chief of the guards there and also one of the most cruel and dangerous; he hated rebels and anarchists so he wanted to kill them all.
In Clocks there was all kind of people: men, women, killers, innocents, etc. Gumball was actually scared because he was going to die.
He was going to be killed by another prisoner or by the electric chair, but also he was sacred because there was nobody to protect his family, Richard had no idea about how to use a gun and Darwin was scared about shooting a gun and hurting someone
"This is your cell Watterson, have fun!" the guard left Gumball alone in a small cell, it had 2 beds and he was completely alone.
"Gumball, wake up asshole" Gumball heard a voice and he woke up, Jamie grabbed her rifle and Gumball grabbed his rifle too.
"Are you ready for this?" asked Gumball knowing that this was going to end really bad. "yeah, now you get in the truck and I distract them" Said Jamie
She went to the camp of the rebels and started shooting to the air, meanwhile Gumball went to the truck and started it up "JAMIE! GET IN HERE!" shouted Gumball telling Jamie that it was ready and it was time to get the hell out of there as fast as they could
Jamie got in the truck and looked behind them "they are behind us" said Jamie "AND WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU SPECTING!" shouted Gumball "Just drive Gummy." Said Jamie
Gumball was driving as fast as he could while Jamie was shooting every car behind them "Ahh! They fucking shot me!" said Jamie "Ok you drive I shoot now!" Gumball and Jamie switched seats and Gumball started shooting to the other cars wheels "I think we lost them" said Gumball, but Jamie was losing too much blood
"Jamie are you ok?" asked Gumball while the truck was stopping, Jamie did not answered, so Gumball started driving as fast as he could back to Veronica "Stay with me Jamie you will be ok!" said Gumball "I'm not gonna lose you again!" shouted Gumball
Jamie was dreaming a memory
"Let me go!" Shouted Jamie to an officer "Shut up girl! I have the order to arrest anarchists" said the police officer "You can't do anything! We are too many for you" shouted Jamie, trying to scare the officer
Jamie and a bunch of rebels who were damaging the city trying to get whatever they could were arrested or killed in Elmore; the city was completely out of control and Jamie was part of it.
Jamie was processed and sent the prison of Clocks near Veronica this was not her first time in prison but It was her first time in a high security prison far away from her home.
"Welcome to the prison of Clocks, your new home, you will live here and most of you will die, I am Rider Veltroni but you can call me Mr. Lucky strike" said Rider
"And why do they call Mr. Lucky strike" a prisoner asked
*BANG*
Rider shot him in the middle of his eyes "any other questions?" asked Rider "Good, now these good gentlemen will guide you to your cells"
Jamie was taken to her new cell it was empty "your partner should be in the yard or somewhere, he will be here in no time" said the guard while locking Jamie in the cell, Jamie was starting to feel scared about her new partner.
"GET IN WATTERSON!" said the guard, taking Gumball in the cell with Jamie.
"Gumball… is that you?" asked Jamie.
Suddenly Jamie woke up in a bed "Well, look who just woke up" Jamie heard a voice "who's that?" asked Jamie "My name Is Michael Kennedy, and you lady are very lucky, that bullet almost penetrated your lung" said Dr. Kennedy "Where am I?" asked Jamie, she was confused about where she was and what happened
"Welcome to the small town of Veronica!" said Dr. Kennedy "Veronica? Where's Gumball" asked Jamie "Hey not so fast Girl, you have to stay in bed and relax, I will tell him that you are finally awake" said the doctor
Gumball and Nicole worked in a small tobacco shop in Veronica, there was not too much work but at least it was enough to maintain themselves.
"HEY!, THEY ARE BACK!" the guards of the walls shouted, Gumball got out of the shop and saw a convoy of trucks and cars full of people.
"Mom! Darwin is back!" shouted Gumball excited about seeing his brother again, when the convoy entered to the town Gumball ran to the trucks and saw Darwin getting out of one of them
"Darwin!" shouted Gumball at his brother "Gumball!" replied Darwin full of happiness of seeing his family again after some months
Some people helped the newcomers to get accommodated in the town
"So, how are you Darwin? Where have you been?" Gumball had so many questions. Darwin went inside the store and saw his mother again since a very long time
"I'm glad that you are ok son" said Nicole to Darwin with some tears on her face, They went back home after they closed the shop and Nicole made some dinner for her son "So tell me Darwin, is there any other survivor town in California?" asked Gumball while eating his dinner
"No, there is no town out there, just rebels and war" said Darwin, Gumball was sad about hearing that, he finished eating and went to see Jamie to his room.
"Jamie, are you ok?" asked Gumball "Yeah, just some pain but nothing else" said Jamie, she seemed really bad and tired so he went to ask Dr, Kennedy for some help
Dr. Kennedy checked Jamie "I'm afraid that she may have an infection" he said, Gumball was worried about Jamie "Well, but you can do something about it, right?" said Gumball "I'm afraid I can't, I don't have the medicines" said the doctor
"I am not going to let another go for some shit like this, tell me what does she need and I will bring it" said Gumball remembering how he lost his sister "Are you sure you wanna do this?" asked the doctor "yes I am" replied Gumball.
