Chapter 2
"Shh, quiet!"
"Hey watch it!"
"Stop standing on my foot!"
"I'll smack you both if you don't shut up!" Both of the boys shut their mouths. Maddie let out a small smile- that always got them to stop squabbling.
"Yes Maddie." They responded, and Maddie turned her head and kept creeping down the hall as fast as she could. While her head was turned the boys stuck their tongues out at her. Maddie didn't notice, and if she did, she gave no heed.
"Here's where things get complicated," Maddie told the boys. She was standing in the hallway, looking at seemingly thin air. Jordan and Zak peered over her shoulder.
"Why?" Zak asked.
"There's nothing there!" Jordan protested. He made to move past Maddie, but she flung out her arm.
"Watch," Maddie said, and pulled something out of her skirt pocket. It was a compact, something Maddie never carried compacts with her unless she could help it.
She opened the compact, revealing a mirror and blush and a brush thing that you used to put the blush on. Maddie ignored the brush, and blew the blush out into the air.
Almost immediately, red lasers showed themselves, coated thinly by Maddie's blush.
"See," Maddie pointed. "Apparently they don't want us watching our show." But Maddie had a smirk on her face, proving to Zak that she had an idea on how to get past the laser beams.
"You have an idea?" Zak asked, and Maddie nodded.
"Mirrors aren't only for the vain," She smirked, placing said mirror in the way of the laser beam. The laser was deflected, and Maddie halted Jordan before he could move.
"I'll go first," She said, "To show you guys the ropes. Then I'll slide the mirror back. We can't go all at one time." And with that said, before Zak or Jordan could protest, Maddie was slowly maneuvering her way through the lasers, every so often blowing more blush into the air.
Finally, Maddie had made it through the lasers, and she knelt, giving the compact a forceful push under the lasers whilst it was still open. Jordan grabbed the mirror next, and slowly made his way through. Once he was through, he pushed the mirror back to Zak, who made record time in crossing over.
"Alright, we're almost home free!" Maddie cheered. "Just one more leg to go!" Jordan cocked his head to the side, confused.
"Leg?" He asked. "What leg? I don't see a leg!" Maddie sighed and grabbed his arm and started down the hall, running while dragging Jordan. Zak started running as well, just starting in time to avoid getting shot at by actual lasers.
"Lasers?!" He yelped. "Why real lasers?!" Maddie shrugged her shoulders and kept booking her way down the hall.
"Sharp right!" Maddie yelled, putting on the brakes and turning right into another hallway, stopping. She waited for Zak to turn the corner, and grabbed his shoulder to stop him.
"We're safe now." Maddie told them, releasing Zak's shoulder and Jordan's arm. "Just in this next room." And she turned the corner and threw open a door.
Once they were safely in the room, Maddie shut the door and turned the lock.
"What was that?!" Zak exclaimed, tossing his arms in the air. Maddie shrugged her shoulders.
"I have no idea." Maddie replied honestly. "All I know is that one day I tried coming here and all these defense systems were online. I didn't even know we had these defense systems before that."
"Oh well," Jordan sighed, throwing himself to the floor. "Why did we have to come all the way out here anyways? Isn't there a TV you have access to that doesn't include putting ourselves in danger?" Maddie nodded.
"There is," Maddie replied, turning the TV in the room on and grabbing the remote as she flipped the lights on. "It's just that my parent's haven't blocked Weird World on this one yet." The boys smirked. Maddie was just too good.
"So, now," Maddie said with an evil grin on her face. "Let us begin the watching of Weird World!" She cackled evilly and the boys laughed.
Maddie was a great actress when she wanted to be.

She was just pulling her compact back out after another thrilling episode of Weird World when it started. The episode had been on Basilisks and how to neutralize the venom with an antidote made out of some rare plant that seemed oddly familiar.
The alarm had started blaring, causing Maddie, Jordan, and Zak to freeze in their places.
"The alarm!" Maddie's eyes were wide, and the compact fell from her hand, mirror shattering. "Somebody's trying to break in!"
And Maddie was off like a shot, running through the beams, leaving Jordan and Zak behind, blinking confusedly before running after Maddie themselves.
"Wait for us!" Zak called, sliding around the corner, nearly hitting a wall in his haste to catch up with said girl.
Jordan, unfortunately, did hit the wall, taking Zak into it with him. Maddie stopped at this, and tapped her foot impatiently. Once they were up and next to them, she started running again, albeit a slower pace so the boys could keep up with her.
"Where are we going?" Zak asked her, neither boy out of breath as they kept up with the red head.
"The green house!" Maddie replied instantaneously, taking another sharp turn. This time, the boys stayed on their feet, running faster to catch up with the red head.
"What?!" Zak yelped. "Why?! Shouldn't we be getting out of here?" Maddie shook her head as she bolted to a dead stop in front of one of the green house doors. She started typing on the keypad by the door, speaking.
"Initiate Shut Down." Maddie said. "Lockdown Green Houses A-01 through A-15. Intruder in the house. Lockdown Green Houses A-01 through A-15." Maddie slammed her foot into the middle of the closing Green House door, and motioned for Jordan and Zak to go in.
"Go in!" She hissed, and Zak moved, helping her keep it open.
"You first Jordan," Maddie told him, and Jordan nodded, darting through the door, Zak slipping through next, and Maddie coming through just as the door slammed shut.
"Why are we here?" Zak asked, but Maddie shook her head, and picked up the green house phone.
"Dial 9-1-1," She said to the phone, the beeping of numbers commencing immediately. Maddie then picked up a clipboard, and started running down the aisles, checking things off here and there.
It was then Jordan and Zak noticed how desecrated the green house looked. It looked like somebody was looking for something and threw a fight when they couldn't find it.
"9-1-1, what is your emergency?" The voice came through the phone, and Maddie was back at the phone in an instant.
"Hello, my name is Madeline Finch," Maddie said to the phone, oddly calm. "I'm currently home alone with my friends Zak Saturday and Jordan Reich and somebody has broken into my house. I live at 5092 RoseWater Lane. Please send help. Goodbye." And Maddie hung up the phone just as quickly and was back to running up and down aisles, checking things off the clipboard.
"What are you doing?" Zak asked as Maddie ran past him.
"Taking inventory!" She shouted back. "If somebody broke in, it'd obviously be for one of the plants! That's the only thing of wor- ahhh!"
But, whatever else she was going to say was cut off by her scream.
"Maddie!" Zak shouted, and made to run down to where she had been, but Jordan grabbed his arm.
"No!" Jordan told him. "We don't want to go to!" Zak looked at Jordan hurt.
"But we can't just leave her with whatever is down there!" He protested, tugging at his friends grip but it was no use- it was just too strong.
"I know!" Jordan reassured Zak. "We just need a plan first!" Zak stopped struggling, and nodded.
"Alright." Zak said. "Then let's get started."
And the planning began.
