I sighed and looked at the door. I COOOOOOOULD try to escape… as soon as I took my first step towards the door I felt someone grab my shoulder.
Sizz-lorr.
"One more thing…" he said, pulling out what appeared to be two earrings shaped like…one of them. (The little irken thing with the smiley face) he jabbed both of them into my ears, which had never been pierced. I bit my lip at the excruciating pain this brought me.
"As long as you're in this restaurant, those things won't come off. Try to escape, and they'll electrocute you." He said with an evil smile.
"W-what about Zim?" I asked.
"Same thing. Except his is like a shackle that goes around his leg."
I sighed as he let me go.
"Now that I think of it…you're going to serve the food,…whatever your name is." Sizz-lorr said.
"Candy." I said angrily, getting some weird type of food that was prepared by Zim. I brought it to table seven, where it needed to go.
Two seconds before I was going to give the food to the creatures there, I looked down to see blood dripping on the floor.
Uh, oh. I thought. Then I realized that the blood was actually from the food.
"Uh…h-hold on a sec…" I said, taking the plate of…stuff back to the main desk.
"ZIM!" I called. He rushed over.
"Yes?"
"WHY IS THE FOOD ALL…BLOODY? HOW COULD YOU SERVE THIS?"
"It's supposed to be like that. Trust me, those are not meant to be cooked long at all." Zim said.
"You're going to poison people." I said.
"You just don't get it, Justin-"
"Candy! My name is candy!" I yelled.
"Chill out. You see, this is a pretty popular food around here. Now if you want to change the menu, you can talk to Sizz-lorr about that."
"Never mind." I said, taking the food to table seven. I cringed as the people (or…aliens) seemed to enjoy their food. Then I walked to Sizz-lorr who was standing beside me.
"Listen, I don't know what you gain from enslaving Zim and me but I need somewhere to sleep!" I said.
"Sleep? You just started the job!" Sizz-lorr hissed. "You'll sleep when the restaurant closes! At 3am!"
I sighed and brought another plate to another table. I walked over to Zim who was standing by the front desk.
"How do we get out of here?" I asked. He shrugged.
"I WANT TO GO HOME!" I screamed. I looked around to see people staring at me.
"Shut up." Zim said quietly. "Now if you want us to get out of here…" he whispered, "You're going to have to think outside the box. There's always a loophole. Something Sizz-lorr forgets."
"But…what could that…what could that be?"
"I don't know. But if I know one thing about these restraints, it's that they only work with windows, doors, and well, if you break a hole in one of the walls. Anything else, and we're free." Zim whispered. I looked around me. Below me. Above me. No way out…wait…then I saw something…
A tiny air vent.
Better start planning!
