Kid (frustrated): ''You just left a corpse laying around!''

Law: ''Kid.''

Kid: ''If you had bothered to bring a shovel then you could of at least buried her!''

Law: ''Kid.''

Kid: ''WHAT?!'' Yelled, again. Oh, whatever.

Law: ''I was only joking. Really now! Me? Killing someone? Can you really imagine ME killing someone.. anyone.. ?'' said almost with a laugh and a lot of slyness.

Kid: ''Yes.'' Answered curtly.

Law: ''Don't be silly! What could POSSIBLY lead you to such an impression?''

Kid: ''Ooooh, i don't know... Maybe it's the glee in your yours when you look at your patients on your operating table... ooor maybe it's how you cut them up with your scalpel... ooor maybe it's just the aura you emit on a daily basis.''

Law: ''And how told you know all of that? Minus the last one, of course.''

Kid: ''Never mind that and pass me a sandwich.''

Law: ''Hmmm, i guess, i can grind that information out of you sometime later when i feel like it.'' said thoughtfully before turning towards the basket and reaching for sandwich and then passing it to Kid. ''But, really now, actually assuming that i killed someone. I mean, that would have been such a hassle. And who kills people during a sunny morning anyway? There's just no mood to it!''

Kid: ''You sound like you have been thinking about it before.'' Said while chomping down on his food. 'Not that i would be surprised about it being the truth.'

Law: ''Well i can't aver that i haven't thought about it.''

Kid: 'I knew it!'

Law: ''But planning and doing are two completely different things.''

Kid: ''PLANNING?''

Law: ''I meant thinking.''

Kid: 'Suuuuure you did and i'm the queen of England. How did i ever end up as roommates with this psycho?'

Law: ''By the way, before you ask again, i borrowed all the picnic items from a colleague of mine though i never would have thought that Penguin was into this kinda stuff, then again he was planning on using it as an excuse to ask a girl out.''

Kid: ''And how did that go?''

Law: ''Well, he did come back to work crying so i assume not so good. I didn't ask the details.''

Kid: ''Was his face really that pathetic looking?''

Law: ''It was hard to look at it.''

Kid: ''Hahaha that guy never has luck with women.'' Cracked up a laugh.

Law: ''As for the food... i made it myself.''

Kid: ''Then keep up the good work. The food's great. At this rate you will someday make a great housewife.'' Said diving for a another batch of the home-cooked meals.

Law: ''I'm a man.'' Said somewhat angrily.

Kid: ''Don't let that you get down. Nowadays people don't care that much anyway.'' Face stuffed full.

Law: ''Are you implying that i should become a women?''

Kid: ''Noooo. All i'm saying is keep making the meals and i'll be a happy camper.''

Law: ''Oh? Then what will do if i happen to get in a relationship and decide to move out, huh?''

Kid: ''Worst case scenario, i'm forced to live off of noodles.''

Law: ''Instant ramen? I'm sure you could do better then that.''

Kid just shrugged. ''Whatever keeps me alive.''

Law also picked up some food and started eating. A squirrel happened to pass them by. And then another. And then another. And another.

Kid: ''Is it just me or am i seeing things?''

Law: ''You're still having hallucinations about spiders? I guess that old movie was too much for you to handle.''

Kid: ''No, you idiot! I meant the squirrels. The squirrels, dammit! And i'm not afraid of spiders!''

Law: ''I didn't say you were afraid.''

Kid: ''Curses.''

Law: 'Aaaaand he started mumbling to himself. This might take a while.'

One of the squirrels managed to crawl in the basket and snatched some of food. Before both of them realized what was happening the small little animal was already on it's way to the nearest tree.

Kid: ''Hey, i was saving that for desert! Come back here, you stupid squirrel!''

Law: ''Forget about the food. I think we might have a different problem on our hands.'' Said Law searching through the basket.

Kid: ''What do you mean?''

Law: ''I can't find my keys.''

Kid: ''What? Why did you even put them there?''

Law: ''That's no the issue here. I think that squirrel just ran off with them.''

Kid: ''Are you serious?''

While grabbing for the food the squirrel had also managed to accidentally to take Law's car keys along with everything else.

Currently the both of them were looking up at the tree the squirrel had ascended and surely enough they saw a faint glow from the upper branches and assumed it came from the sun reflecting on Law's keys.

Kid: ''Well, no use dwelling on the matter.'' As he said that, Kid grabbed onto the lowest branch and started ascending the tree.

Law: ''Agreed.'' Although he said that, Law stayed rooted to the grass.

Kid: ''I will funkin' skin that thing.'' He was already half way to the top but it was getting harder since the branches themselves weren't very thick.

Law: ''Normally i would be against animal cruelty but i need those keys back one or another.''

Kid: ''Then less talking and more climbing or better yet start climbing. Why am i the only one doing this? Those are your keys after all.'' He said straining the last part.

Law: ''I would much rather stay on the ground in case you tumble down like on old oak tree. If that were to happen you would need immediate medical attention if you were to break any ribs or something alike.''

Kid: ''You're like a hyena just waiting for that to happen, aren't you, Trafalgar?''

Law: ''That's preposterous! I would never wish for something of alike.'' A sly smile gracing his lips.

Kid: ''Aaha.'' He looked skeptically at Law fully knowing how much the man just loved to get under his skin.

Law: ''You're distracting yourself with silly ideas. Remember! Eyes on the prize, Mister Eustass!''

Kid grunted in response and continued his climb to the top. 'There he goes again with that sassy mouth of his. Damn, Trafalgar!' After what seemed like an eternity Kid finally managed to get to the top but with no squirrel in sight. ''Oi, Trafalgar! I can't find that damn rodent or your keys. It seems like you will have to pick up jogging.''

Law didn't look pleased about that option. ''I absolutely refuse to be degraded in such a manner.''

Kid: ''As a doctor, shouldn't you be all for it?''

Law: ''Eustass-ya, my work place is 20km away from our home. Do you really expect me to run that distance in less then 30 minutes? Every morning?''

Kid: ''Then just take the goddamn bus or something!''

Law: ''That wouldn't do in case of emergencies.''

Kid: ''Alright, then how about this? We break open and hot-wire your car. It's quite easy to do, ya know. I just need a coat hanger, a hammer, a screwdriver, some wire cutters and strippers, and we're all set to go. Oh and your proof of ownership would come in handy too.''

Law: ''I will pretend i never heard that!''

Kid: ''Suit yourself.'' said with shrug. He was trying to peer through the branches when he finally managed to locate that glint again. Upon closer inspection he identified that glint to truly be that of the keys. 'That stupid squirrel must have dropped it there.' The keys were hanging at the end of a tiny branch. ''Found them!''

Law: ''Great! Now can you reach them?''

Kid: ''They're a bit far away but, i think, i can manage.'' But as he was reaching for them, he heard a sudden Snap!. 'That can't be good.'

Law: ''Everything alright up there?''

Kid: ''Yeah, yeah. Just hold your horses. I'll get your stupid keys back in a minute.'' His fingertips brushed slightly against the keys. 'Just a bit more.' His palm clenched over the keys. ''Got them!''

SNAP!

Kid: ''Oh, shit!''

Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!

And with those sounds echoing in the background Kid went tumbling down the tree at a fast rate and before he knew what was happening his back had already collided with the hard ground right next to Law's feet.

Currently the wheezing Kid was trying to get his senses back in line. Groaning he said: ''Geez, Law, thanks for trying to catch me.''

Law: ''Now, now! If i had done that then right now either both of us would be enjoying the fine grass or you would be in my arms bridal style. Wouldn't that be MUCH more painful for your ego especially in a public place?''

Kid: ''True that!'' As he was slowly but cautiously getting up, Law leaned down to his level inspecting him for any injuries.

Law: ''Any broken bones?''

Kid: ''Not today, Trafalgar!'' He chuckled to himself in a low tone.

Law: ''Well, there's always the next day. Do you have my keys?'' Said glancing for any sign of them.

Kid: ''I got them! No worries!'' Said handing him the keys.

When they were both up and ready to continue their picnic they noticed a policeman heading their way.

Kid: ''Ugh, what now?''

The policeman approached the two standing men.

Law: ''Is there something wrong, Officer?''

Policeman: ''Yes, an anonymous source informed the police that two suspicious looking characters were discussing a planned future car robbery.''

Kid: ''WHAT?''


Cliffhanger!
