Hello there! First things first, I'm so sorry for updating later than I planned to. It took me so long just to write this! I plan to post the last part of day 2 soon, so hopefully it will be up not much longer. Anyway, I hope you'll like this chapter. And thank you for bothering to come here again.
Disclaimer: I don't own Grimm or its characters.
The entrance of the fun park was the first thing the men saw. There was a golden shooting star, shaped like a rainbow with the words Thrill Park on it, in a distinctive silver colour. The latest music was blaring from the speakers, but no one seemed to be listening, instead you heard the wild shouts of excitement.
"Well we finally arrived." it was Nick who finally got out of his car last.
"Whoa, you guys need to see this line." Wu pointed at the long queue of people. It was so long, it even nearly reached the parking lot opposite. He estimated it was about 20 meters.
"And it's only 11 am! It opened like an hour ago! Man, we need to move fast." exclaimed Hank. At that comment, they all rushed to the back of line. "Hang on! We got our badges, let's just walk through the line and show the badges and make our way right to the front. That way, we started lining up properly but then these kind people let us go straight to the front. That's why we're here in the 1st place right?"
They made their way to the end of the line, and that's when the men went on dramatic mode. Cop style! As they reached to their destination, their badges were pulled out and they held it next to their neck, showing off their badges.
"Police! Please make way and stand clear!" Nick raised his voice. Everyone turned their heads towards the voice. The people had a confused look on their face, whispering to each other, not knowing the simple truth.
"Please help us by stepping out of the way. Thank you for everyone's co-operation." At Wu's comment, the people finally stepped out of the way, making a clear aisle for the police. Strutting through, still holding their badges shining brightly. Hank felt smug. He really did. When was the last time you got to get to the front of the a long line without even waiting?
Damn, it's so good to be a cop! He shouted in his head.
When they arrived at the counter, the crowd behind them watched curiously. Hank slapped the three $20 bills on the counter.
"Three adult tickets please." He slightly commanded proudly.
And that was when the angry outburst started.
"What the heck do you do think you're doing?!"
"We've waited longer!"
"Now that ain't fair!"
"Get outta here you son of a...!"
They was so much shouting and booing, the poor person at the counter couldn't do anything. All he could do was watch helplessly.
"Everybody, please remain calm!" shouted Hank over the crowd. "We are the police, and yes, we do have legal authority to do this. Just calm down please. "
That's right, use the fancy language to convince them. He praised himself. He turned around, ready to continue his paying. Just then someone poked him on his back from. It was a gruff looking man, with that furious look on his face.
Uh oh. Wu thought. Nick analysed the man. Mid 40's, single, Caucasian, 6 feet 2 ish. By the look of his aggressive claw tattoo on his arm, this guy shouldn't be messed with. He continued staring at the man, there was something about him that was disturbing.
The gruff man did not realise. Not yet. "Now you listen to me... officer. I've been waiting for a damn hour. What makes you so special?" His eyes stared intently at Hank's, as if he was challenging him. And he was. He gave the detective a shove, crossing the line in the process...
"Sir. Right here, right now. We can arrest you for physical abuse if this gets out of hand." Nick informed. The man turned to Nick, and began to realise the truth. Grimm! And immediately he changed; woged into a bear like form. In an instant Nick knew what this one was. Jägerbar.
"Get away from me!" he began to back away in fear and raised two hands up. "Sir, I'm not going to hurt you. Now I suggest you stop." He turned back along with Wu and Hank. Hank raised an eyebrow at the Grimm detective that only met one thing. Wesen? Nick nodded. Meanwhile Wu was collecting the tickets.
"Thank you. And sorry for that dispute." Glad that's over. Still pretty cool we cut in line legally.
They walked past the counter and finally stepped into the park.
"Gentlemen, we are officially not working for the rest of the day."
*.*.*
"I bet you wouldn't go on that one there." Wu and the others stared at what happens to be the Serpent's Plunge rollercoaster. A ride with rails that went high up and then drops with maximum speed. 120km p/h to be exact. That was one of the reason why he started this 'conversation' after all.
"I bet I would." Hank answered back.
"I bet you wouldn't." Wu replied plainly.
"Sorry man, but I got to agree with Wu. Again." Nick piped up. He knew where this was exactly going.
"I bet I would." The other detective repeated.
"Sure thing Hank. Sure thing."
"Fine, you want me to prove it? I'll go on it if you go. You're coming with me if I'm going." Nick decided this was one of those times when Hank can be slightly stubborn. Still, he wanted to see this.
"Yeah sure, I'll join in." He agreed.
"If you go on that ride- which we will go with you, I promise I'll give you $20. However if you scream, I owe you nothing. Do we have a deal?"
Wu was sure nobody wouldn't scream. After just looking at the last 2 groups on that death trap, he guaranteed himself that he will have the pleasure of seeing Hank scream, and at the end of day he won't have to owe $20 to anyone.
"We have a deal." Detective Griffin made yet another grave mistake. But hey, this isn't work.
Meanwhile, the Grimm scanned the area around the rollercoaster with his remarkable Grimm eyes. The ride looked nerve wrecking, but not horrific as a particular scene of a particular movie. He realised there was barely anyone lining up. If I scream again, at least my specific scream won't be heard. Besides, there's barely any need to wait for this one.
"All right, guys. Let's go now before anyone backs out yet."
The car was basically a long serpent covered in green scales with seats. Though it strongly reminded Wu of the Basilisk in Harry Potter.
"Please remain in your seat at all times. Make sure you keep hands on the bar handle in front of you. Please keep watch of your children. And remember, have fun!"
"Thank god I don't have kids." Wu muttered to himself.
Nick's heart was racing. He couldn't believe he got into this mess. His closed his eyes and took deep breaths. And the car started moving slowly.
To Wu he angrily whispered,
"If I die today, I'm gonna blame it on you. You drove me into this, this was all part of plan wasn't it? And if I make it out alive you're still going to die!"
"What are you talking about? You agreed. I didn't agree for you. It was you who dragged yourself into this. But that's not the point, just relax. Now just shush and enjoy the ride. "
"Clearly this is your fault, now I'm going to die young and early."
"Clearly this isn't my fault. And if you did know my plan (which you do), why didn't you stop me? Aren't you supposed to be a bit more responsible? And what do you mean by young? You didn't even know who Retchid Kat was!"
Nick had to admit, he found that last comment somewhat offensive. And of course he didn't say that. After all, he is a man. What kind of man is like that? Well that was what he thought anyway.
"I have to be more responsible! Look who's talking? I still remember that day you vomited on Hank at that Christmas party!"
"What are you talking about?"
"What are you talking about?"
"No, I asked you first."
"So?"
Inside his head, Hank Griffin was laughing his head off. He was trying to keep a stern face, luckily all he did was stifle and rock back and forth using his willpower to stop himself from laughing out loud.
"Guys stop acting childish. We're nearly at the top. Man look at that view!"
The other 2 did not realise what they were missing out on. They turned their faces and saw mountain, its peaks hidden in mist. While down below, thousands of tiny ant moved about. They felt superior, and being able to cut in long lines helped it.
The car moved on the windy tracks, and that's when they saw the drop. Where the tracks seem to disappear, making you plummet at rapid speed. The part that Hank and Nick most feared.
I can do this remember, I'm doing this for the twenty dollars.
Damn, I hate you Wu.
Then it was time.
The car dropped, instantly making Hank's stomach fly up inside.
"HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIII... AAAAAHHHH!" He was having the shock of his life.
"WHOO HOO, AWESOME!" Nick though, was having the time of his life. This was so much better than he thought.
Wu too was enjoying the plunge, but he wasn't screaming words of joy. Instead, he was laughing his head off while watching Hank screaming with the look of major panic all across on his face.
It was miraculous how all that happened in 10.4 seconds precisely. But it didn't stop there, oh no. As soon as they reached the bottom, they shot back up. Everyone clutched on the handle bar tighter, attempting to brace themselves. Hank felt the need to throw up, he felt so sick he thought he was going to faint.
But the rollercoaster didn't let him. By the time they reached the top, they zoomed back down.
"WHOO HOOOOOOO!" Nick continued to having fun. He never knew deathly rides like these could be so entertaining.
Best day EVEERR!
This time Wu chose to join in. "YEAAHH!" The 2 were practically hyped up teenagers all over again. Hank though well... he did try to scream but he didn't have enough breath left so he ended up screaming inaudibly. Just when he thought the worst was over, he saw something he would later never want to see again. The track seemed to go up and then Hank coincidentally got his voice back again...
"HOLY... NO! NOT UPSIDE DOWN! STOP THIS ROLLERCOASTER, HOLD UP! NOT UPSIDE DOWN, NOOO!"
The car raced up on to the track and everyone was tilt upside down, everyone saw the world upside down. They all thought they were going to fall out and that would be the end of their lives. They gripped on tight so hard like they were clinging on to their lives. Because they thought they were. And Nick felt he was going to die, again.
"AAH! I'M GOING TO FALL, SOMEBODY HELP ME! I CAN'T HOLD ON ANYMORE!"
Even Wu started to panic.
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE, I THINK I'M GOING TO LET GO!"
And Hank continued to beg for mercy at the top of his burning lungs.
Meanwhile, down below, a pack of spectators were watching in awe of what looks like to be 3 men shouting for their lives. Obviously there were others too, but it's not everyday you see men shrieking on a rollercoaster. But then again, this was the Serpent's Plunge. When they finally became aware of the fact they were flipped back to normal again, the people behind them on a different car, were whispering 'Oh My Gawd! Did you feel that? I swear, I thought I was gonna die!'. Yet the 3 members of the P.P.D were silent. It was the end of the journey. This one anyway.
Oh my god! Thank the lord for ending this! Hank was utterly relieved, but not for long. Once more he started feeling nauseous, then sick and then pale and finally absolutely pale. The officer ran to the nearest bin where kids and their parents were about to bin their fairy floss sticks. As soon as he reached his destination, he began to throw up a mixture of a yellow and green, thick, lumpy fluid. Vomit. The family close to him could only goggle at him as they listened to the hideous sounds.
"Jonathon, don't you dare look at that man!" the mother ordered to her toddler. Quickly, the family rushed away to escape from the smell, hastily they pushed their pram away. Soon, Hank turned backed to Nick and Wu who promptly handed a fresh napkin. He took it and wiped his mouth and dumped it in the bin.
"Never again." Nick grinned. This was most satisfactory. And he knew there was more to come. "Come on, let's go to the grand prix karts." "We're gonna have to skip the line again with our badges." They started heading to the queue close by.
Wu elbowed Hank to get his attention and reminded him:
"You still don't get 20 dollars." Detective Griffin gave a scowl.
To be continued. Please remember to review! And thanks for reading.
