Chapter 4 - Frank West, Mommy?, Dinner Date, and The Out Break
The following morning, Frankie woke up to banging on her hotel room door. She rolled herself out of bed and walked out of her bedroom. She looked at the clock on the way and it was six in the morning. Okay what the fuck? There's no way in Hades' underworld that Crystal would send anything to her this early in the morning…hell the twins where probably still passed out.
She unlocked the door and threw it open. "WHAT?" snapped Frankie.
"Don't snap at me young lady." said Frank West lightly smacking Frankie on the cheek before pushing past her and walking inside the hotel room.
"Are you real or is this a side effect from my pain medication?" asked Frankie grabbing at Frank's face and pulling on his cheeks.
"Let go…" ordered Frank making Frankie freak out and let go of her dad.
"Holy crap! You're real!"
"Yes…last time I checked I was real." said Frank looking around the hotel room. "You mind sharing the hotel room?"
"Yes…yes I do."
"and why is that baby girl?" he asked opening the fridge.
"Cause…cause…what if I have a girl over one night?" asked Frankie crossing her arms over her chest.
"I won't bother you two."
"Oh dear gods and goddesses! No! Get your own room!" said a frustrated Frankie. "Dad look I'm doped up on pain killers and you woke me out of a sound sleep so…get out!"
"Why are you doped up on pain killers?" he asked looking at her worried.
"Doesn't matter." sighed Frankie scratching the back of her neck. He looked at her arm and saw bandages wrapped around her arm.
"Were you bit?"
"What? No…one of my friends was playing with a switch blade and he went to hide it from a security guard but I was standing way to close. So it ended up cutting me really good. Look these things knock me the fuck out, I'm still half asleep. Can you go so I can sleep?"
"Well I gotta go buy some Zombrex real quick." he said making Frankie sigh.
"Um actually…I think the hotel has Zombrex." said Frankie. "I think…I donno. I'm tired."
"Go back to sleep I'll wake you up at eight." he said rubbing her head.
"If breakfast shows up for me…don't touch it." snapped Frankie.
"Why would it show up?" asked Frank.
"Don't ask." sighed Frankie walking back to the bedroom and falling onto the bed with a groan. Falling asleep shortly after laying down.
Frank managed to find a box of Zombrex, it happened to be the very last one the hotel had in stock. Frank was taking the elevator back up when it opened on the floor Frankie's hotel room was and once the doors opened there was a black haired woman wearing a silver dress. The woman groaned as she saw Frank instead of who she wanted and she looked at her watch. It was quarter of Seven. Frank walked out as the woman walked into the elevator and hit a button, the doors closing. Frank shrugged and walked back to Frankie's hotel room, while downstairs he managed to get an extra hotel key too Frankie's room so he didn't have to wake her up again.
He slid the card in the slot and watched the light turn from red to green and he pushed the door open. He walked inside and closed the door behind him quietly. For the past half hour, Frank sat on the couch watching previous Terror Is Reality episodes while drinking one of Frankie's sodas. Around 7:20 he realized he didn't take his Zombrex yet so he quickly set the soda down and opened the box to take the syringe out. He took the cap off the needle and stabbed it into his neck and pushed down on the bottom to inject himself with the medicine to stop himself from becoming a zombie in his daughter's hotel room.
At eight there was knocking on the door and Frank stood up to answer it. However when it was about to get to the door he was shoved against the wall by Frankie who unlocked the hotel door and opened it. The same female bellhop from before holding a tray in one hand and a box in the other. Frankie smiled and took both of the things from the bellhop when she realized she had no hands to give her a tip. She looked at Frank and nodded towards the girl.
"Give her a tip for me." said Frankie.
"Seriously? Francesca, why do I got to give her the tip?" asked Frank using his daughter's full first name.
"I got no hands!" said Frankie making him groan and opened his wallet. He handed her ten bucks making the girl smile and take it happily. Frank shut the door behind him and the woman looked a tad bit confused as to why there was a guy inside Frankie's hotel room so she quickly did what she was instructed and went to the elevator to report to Crystal.
"So who sends you breakfast?" asked Frank as Frankie took the cover off and she saw bacon and eggs with a glass of orange juice.
"I donno." lied Frankie as she opened the box that was given to her with breakfast. She pulled the dress out and laughed as she stared at it. It was a black and red plaid dress that came with a matching chocker. "Guess she couldn't make up her mind."
"Who?" asked Frank leaning close to her making Frankie freak out and swat him in the face making him groan and hold his face. "Ah! Francesca Abbey West!"
"Sorry dad! You freaked me out." said Frankie holding onto the dress. She then noticed that it had a black corset design that would be just under her breasts and she grinned. "Shocking thing is…I have a bra that matches this."
"Yeah…I brought some things for you by the way…and shocking thing is you got a pair of panties that matches that." chuckled Frank as he saw his daughter turn a dark red color.
"Dad!"
Frank brought clothes for Frankie, and some bras and panties. She already had the matching bra to go with the panties he brought her but it just creeper her out. She never liked it when her dad did her laundry, that's why she'd go to her mother's house on the weekends so she could do her laundry. She closed the bedroom door and took the bra and slipped it on, hooking it on quickly then she readjusted her breasts. She grabbed the panties that matched her bra and new dress and slid them on when she got an idea.
She grabbed her camera and stood in front of the full length mirror, she posed and held the camera a certain way so it could take a picture of her reflection. She looked down and saw the heels that Crystal gave her and slipped on a pair of the black heels so it made her a few inches taller. She took a few more pictures of herself when there was a knock on the door. "What?"
"You ready yet?" asked Frank.
"In a minute dad! Gods and Goddesses I feel like I'm home." she muttered turning her camera off and grabbing a pair of tights as she kicked the heels off. She slid on the black tights that could pass for actual pants. Then she quickly slid the dress on and zipped it up before sliding on the black heels. She grabbed the matching choker and hooked it on. She quickly applied her black eyeliner on and then applied her lip gloss before grabbing her backpack and camera.
"Yes I'm ready." said Frank when she groaned. "Wait I forgot to change my bandages." She walked back into her bathroom and unwrapped the bandages around her arm and saw the skin around the stitches had turned a slight red and she sighed. She didn't know if it was from the blood or if it was just irritated. She grabbed the extra bandages the doctor gave her and she wrapped it up quickly before using medical tape to hold the bandages in place. (A/N: What are those things called that hook into the bandages and hold them in place? I don't think I ever knew what they where called. If anyone knows that answer, please comment and let me know ^^' I feel so stupid lol)
Frankie and Frank left the hotel room and took the elevator down. Frank was looking at Frankie weird who looked back at him. "What?"
"You looked weird in a dress."
"Dad I'd kick you in your balls but I'm afraid I'd loose my balance wearing these heels." sighed Frankie.
"Why are you all dolled up anyways?"
"It doesn't matter!"
"Show me around?" asked Frank as the elevator stopped.
"I-I can't." she said turning to leave.
"Francesca." sighed Frankie.
"Dad I would but I can't. I gotta go meet Jeanna before my d…before dinner." said Frankie looking back at Frank.
"You almost said date." he said.
"No I didn't!"
"Who the hell are you dating?"
"No one!" said Frankie when she smacked into Crystal and Crystal's arms wrapped around the younger girl's waist.
"Hello Frankie!" smiled Crystal. Her straight white teeth showing in her infectious smile making Frankie giggle like a lovey dovey school girl. "Love the choice I made?"
"Yes." giggled Frankie pressing herself against Crystal when a camera went off making Frankie look and glare at her father.
"Fantastic." he said looking at the picture.
"Dad!" whined Frankie making Crystal look.
"Your father?" asked Crystal. "Um I'll see you later tonight." She kissed the younger girl's cheek before heading towards the elevator.
Once the elevator doors shut Frankie gave Frank the death glare that she inherited from her mother. "What?" he asked.
"You scared her off!"
"Okay? She the girl you're going out with tonight?"
"It's not a date date, it's just a dinner date. We're just going to dinner as friends…" she groaned and she looked down with a small whimper.
"But you don't wanna be just friends." said Frank. "You know what you need."
"What?" asked Frankie.
"Your mother. Or at least a call to your mother."
"I don't even know if mom's still alive with all this shit going on outside of these walls!" claimed the younger West. "I mean I want my mommy, that's what I want. I want my mom more than anything right now because she understands me a lot better than you, no offense…"
"Well we'll go call her in a while. Just take me somewhere. A mall…I don't care. I wanna get pictures in." he said with a shrug.
"Well I'm gonna go buy my lunch now and eat it in Fortune Park if you wanna walk to the Food Court with me? Jeanna's gonna meet me there."
"Yeah come on baby girl. Lets go." he said wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
Jeanna started at Frankie once she walked into the Food Court and she raised her eyebrow at her. She went to say something but she put her hand over her mouth as she tried not to laugh. She had to admit, the younger girl looked adorable in a dress and the thing was she was taking pride in it. She was walking like she had been wearing dresses all her life, although Jeanna knew Frankie wasn't the type that wore dresses much. She saw Frankie look discouraged when Jeanna tried not to laugh and Jeanna felt a little bit bad.
"Sorry love, it's just your so adorable in that." chuckled Jeanna patting Frankie's cheek. "The Silver twin see you in it yet?"
"The 'Silver Twin' as you but it, bought me this."
"Oh."
"Francesca." said Frank nudging his daughter.
"Oh Hades! Stop calling me Francesca, what's with you and calling me Francesca! Dad you nicknamed me Frankie…use it." groaned Frankie looking at him making him laugh. "Jeanna this is my father, Frank West."
"Nice to meet you." said Jeanna holding her hand out to Frank who shook it with a smile. "So little one, you wanna eat in or just take some food?"
"Actually could we go to the Mexican Restaurant, I'm like dying for a burrito then I wanna get some cheesecake." said Frankie.
"Alright." smiled Jeanna.
Frankie was standing at the counter, leaning back and forth on her toes and heels. Frank thought his daughter was gonna fall over although she seemed oddly comfortable in her heels. I mean she often wore a certain length of heels but those where a bit bigger than what she normally wore. Jeanna was watching the younger girl as she ordered and she let out a small sigh making Frank look at her. Jeanna seemed like the type of girl he always though Frankie would go after, hot and with an accent.
"Do you think if she wasn't obsessed with the Silver Twin she'd go out with me?" asked Jeanna.
"Like her?" asked Frank.
"Well…in an I think she's adorable kind of way. Although she see arrived and since she saw The Silver Twin, she's been in love with her." answered the British Woman.
Frankie walked over carrying the bag that had her burrito in it and she looked at Frank who looked back. "Yes?"
"I wanna go get my cheesecake now. Then I gotta go get my manicure." said Frankie.
"Man…icure?" he asked.
"Dad I've had a manicure before it's not shocking. Remember when mom took me on our mother/daughter day. She made me get a manicure but I picked black with red skulls. Mom was so angry at me but she paid for it." answered Frankie. "I'm gonna get black with kitty skull designs. Mom would give me the famous glare but…oh well."
"Jeanna could you do me a favor?" asked Frank making Jeanna look at him. "Take her to get her cake and get her manicure? I've gotta go do something."
"Mm…okay." shrugged Jeanna.
Frank walked outside onto the Silver Strip, he pulled his cell phone out and searched for a number. He dialed it and put it against his ear. "Hey…Rayne." he said as nice as he could.
Jeanna was leaning against the wall as Frankie was getting her manicure at Venus Touch. Frankie had mentioned that Frank would've made a comment but when Jeanna asked her what it would've been, she shrugged it off. If Frank showed up, he'd say it out loud. Jeanna saw the younger girl cross her eyes at the smell of the multiple chemicals used. The lady took the black nail polish and started to carefully drag it down her nails, which she had grown out a bit so they could be cut to a right length to look nice and almost elegant…aside from the kitty skulls.
"Venus Touch…" said a male voice. "is that a good touch or bad one?"
"See…told you." said Frankie as she heard her dad's comment. Jeanna started laughing.
"Oh shut it Frank." snapped a female voice making Frankie look. Her eyes wide. A woman standing at 5'6'' with waist length black hair and green eyes stood there wearing a business suit and she had a beautiful smile on her face.
"Mommy?" asked Frankie. "Oh my gods and goddesses! Mommy! I'd get up and hug you but she's doing my nails! I'll tackle you once this is done!"
"Your father called me." said Rayne West putting a hand on Frankie's silky hair.
"Daddy." said Frankie looking at her father who shrugged and quickly took a picture of mother and daughter.
"Skulls again Francesca?" asked Rayne with a sigh. It was rare that Rayne called Frankie by her nickname but Frankie didn't care.
"Kill cat skulls. Skulls with kitty ears." smiled Frankie making Rayne crack a smile. "Wait…how did you get from New York to here so fast?"
"I was already near here when your father called me. One of my friends bought me tickets to Terror is Reality and said I have to loosen up and see it. So I choose to try it."
"Oh my Gods and Goddesses! I have work tomorrow! Damn it…"
"Work?" asked Rayne confused.
"Yeah…um…I'm taking pictures of Terror is Reality. I started on Thursday, got a good amount of money from it too. I've only been here…three days and I got a job." smiled the younger West.
"Well good girl." said Rayne kissing her forehead when she saw her arm bandaged up. "What happened?"
"Ugh…gotta go through the explanation again?" asked Frankie.
"Basically her friend was being stupid with a switch blade, her went to hide it, she was standing too close, got slashed, and has over ten stitches in her arm." said Frank aiming his camera at Frankie and he pressed down on the button that took a picture of her glaring at the camera.
Frankie wasn't sure if having both mom and dad in the same place was a good idea. Mom and Dad fought like cats and dogs…mom usually winning. Hell there was times when Rayne punched Frank across the face and called him names. Frankie knew Rayne blamed Frank for Frankie running away, she knew it. Frankie was an adult, even if it was just for a few months…she was an adult and she was allowed to run away if she wanted.
Frankie paid the woman for doing her nails and gave her like a twenty dollar tip before leaving the store with Jeanna, Frank, and Rayne. She turned and looked at her parents making them look at her. "I don't want fighting…I don't want you too calling each other names." She looked at her mother this time. "No hitting dad."
"Alright." said Rayne kissing Frankie's forehead.
"Can we just go to Fortune Park and hang out now?" asked Frankie to her parents who nodded.
Frankie was sitting on a ledge near the Silver Strip sign with her legs crossed under her, her heels off and resting on the ledge beside her and her mother. Her mother was on her touch phone working…what else is new? Rayne was a lawyer, something she wanted Frankie to be but that didn't happen how she wanted. Frank was walking around the park taking pictures of people and what not. Caleb walked by with his friends and waved, not wanting to bother her since she seemed a little stressed, which she was worrying about Rayne and Frank fighting even though they said they wouldn't…they've lied before.
When they lie you might be asking? Well they lied on her 15th birthday that they wouldn't fight…HA! Rayne didn't like that Frank bought Frankie a 4,000 dollar camera and they fought right there, in front of family members and friends! Frankie just sat there holding the expensive camera, not letting it go no madder how much her mother ordered her to give it to her. That camera, was the very camera Frankie had in her lap at the moment.
"If you two lie to me again…" started Frankie making Rayne stop working. "I will never…talk to you again."
"Francesca…"
"No…you two promised me on my 15th birthday…what happened?" she asked looking at her mother.
"Your father and I fought."
"Yes. I'm happy the both of you are here with me. I just don't want a fight. If you fight…I will start crying and embarrass the both of you." snarled Frankie glaring at her mother. "And we know how embarrassed Rayne West gets when her daughter has a fit."
"Francesca Abbey West!" snapped Rayne.
"Heh…you two seem fond of my full name today." she said rolling her eyes when she looked at her watch and saw it was only 5:12pm. She sighed as she realized she had to go meet Crystal at the restaurant at 7. She exhaled heavily and leaned back on her hands.
"What did you do to your father?"
"He got to close, I freaked out, and swatted him in the face pretty hard." Frankie heard her mother chuckle.
"That's your father for you." said Rayne.
"Mom, do you know why dad called you?"
"He said that he found you."
"No…I have a small problem that I needed my mother for. That's why he called you, he said we'd call you but I guess he wanted to make it a surprise." said Frankie running a hand through her hair and using her fingers to get a tangle out of her hair.
"Alright what's the problem sweetheart?"
"There's this girl…"
"Name?"
"Crystal." answered Frankie. "She's beautiful, she makes me smile, she's been taking care of me since I showed up or since she met me. I've had breakfast arrive at my door, yesterday and today. She bought me clothing…"
"You don't love her for her money do you?"
"Mother! No I actually have feelings for her but…I think she only sees me as a friend. I mean…" Frankie sighed and put a hand on her forehead. "I don't know, she flirts with me. She kisses me more than she should and I mean kisses me although I think it's just her personality."
"Picture?" asked Rayne.
"Um…" she went into her pictures on her camera but she could only find the pictures of herself posing. "No. It's all on my computer."
"Well I want to know what she looks like…dear?" Rayne saw Frankie's expression change. She looked and saw a black haired woman with a silver dress walking arm in arm with a girl who looked just like her but had blonde hair and wore a gold dress.
"Hello darling." said Crystal winking at Frankie who let out a giggle and smiled. Amber rolled her eyes and continued walking off with her sister. "Oh little Frankie! Don't forget…meet me at seven."
"Okay." answered Frankie.
"Okay by your reaction I take it that was Crystal?"
"Yes mom."
'The other?"
"That was Amber, her twin sister."
"Alright. She seems like a slut." said Rayne when she heard Frankie gasp and look at her with a shocked expression on her face. "Kidding. She seems really beautiful."
"I know." giggled Frankie leaning against her mother who laughed and hugged her. A camera went off and Frank was aiming at the two. She laughed and rested her forehead on her mother's shoulder.
At 6:45, Rayne went to Frankie's hotel room while Frank got his own cause Frankie made it damn clear that she wasn't letting him stay in the hotel room, no madder how much she loved her daddy. Frankie headed to the food court, cutting through the Slot Ranch Casino. She walked up to the restaurant, Cucina Donnacci and found Crystal leaning against a pillar smiling at her. Frankie tried to speak but Crystal just pecked their lips together and then kissed her cheek lovingly. Crystal took Frankie's hand and walked to a table that was saved for them and Crystal acted like a gentleman but holding the seat out for Frankie who sat down and squeaked as she was pushed in.
"I love the dress on you darling." purred Crystal through lust filled eyes but Frankie wondered if that was Crystal's libido talking. "Now dear if you don't mind, I'd love to order for you."
"Okay…I guess. I mean I can read and speak Italian if that's the problem."
"What? The menu's in English." said Crystal making Frankie groan slightly and rolled her eyes with a small smile.
"Alright whatever."
"Wine?'
"I'm eighteen, I can't handle liquor that well." answered Frankie. Crystal stared at her over the menu wondering if to actually feed the eighteen year old a glass of wine.
"Alright then. You'll get soda than. Don't want daddy getting angry at me."
"You'd have to worry more about mommy."
"Mommy?" asked Crystal. "That woman you where leaning on was that…"
"Rayne West, one of the best damn lawyers you'll ever find in New York." answered Frankie. "Dad's gave me beer before so he wouldn't care…mom doesn't want me drinking if I can't handle it."
"I suppose I understand. How does pasta sound?"
"Good…whatever. I don't care I'm hungry and I have cheesecake waiting for me in my hotel room." said Frankie with out thinking making Crystal giggle at the random fact. "Yeah that was random." Crystal laughed a bit louder and put her hand over her mouth to muffle her laughter.
"Oh you're just so damn cute." stated the slightly older woman making Frankie blush a bit.
So Crystal ordered herself lobster…yeah Frankie didn't know how that was Italian but she let it go. Crystal ordered Frankie pasta with alfredo sauce and a small salad. Frankie was eating her dinner and was staring down at her food as she ate. When she felt a foot trail up her leg, it made her tense up. She looked at Crystal who was grinning as she ate her lobster.
"So…gonna work tomorrow?" asked Crystal sliding her foot back into her heel.
"Duh. My mom's gonna be in the audience so I can't wait to work." smiled the younger girl. "Crystal…"
"Hmm?"
"What would you do if an outbreak happened here? I mean where would you go to be safe?" asked Frankie.
"Well there's a safe house, a bunker but it has a limited time as to when it would close so it all depends on where I am when it happened. Lets say I'm in my dressing room with Amber, we'd hide in there I suppose." said Crystal. "Why?"
"I don't know. I have a bad feeling and they usually seem to amount to something." said Frankie. She could feel it in her stomach, something bad was going to happen and she hated it. "I just don't want to find you stumbling around groaning and trying to eat me."
"Don't worry dear, I can take care of myself." smiled Crystal.
Around 8:30pm, Rayne heard movement outside the hotel room and she stood off the couch. She unlocked it and opened it, Frankie stumbling in with her arms around Crystal who looked at Rayne. The slightly older woman looked back and forth between mother and daughter, was there anything Frankie got from her father. Frankie looked just like her mother, except maybe her attitude but they looked alike. Crystal pushed her mouth against Frankie's who groaned and Rayne rolled her eyes with a sigh.
Crystal pulled away from Frankie's lips and smiled at Rayne. "Hello mommy!"
"Don't call me that." snapped Rayne.
"Ohh…Frankie your mommy snapped at me." pouted Crystal.
"Crystal you had a bit to much to drink." sighed Frankie.
"I know. I had six glasses of wine."
"Francesca…did you have anything to drink?" said Rayne very sternly.
"Soda." answered Frankie looking at her mother. "I explained I can't handle alcohol too well and she understood.
"Alright you…" said the woman in silver, pressing herself against Frankie. "You'll have another present with your breakfast tomorrow. Alright?"
"Alright. Do you need me to help you to your hotel room?"
"No…I can do it." Frankie caught Crystal as she stumbled a bit. "Take my heels off?" Frankie nodded and crouched down to undo Crystal's heels. After she slid her feet out of them, she handed the slightly older woman her heels and Crystal kissed her cheek before leaving.
Frankie walked into the hotel room and closed it. Rayne had made herself a bed on the couch and Frankie hopped onto the couch beside Rayne with her cheesecake which she cut in half and handed a half to Rayne who took it with a smile. Much like Frank, Rayne hardly cooked and went out most of the time…she could cook she just choose not to especially when she had to work late. However there was one thing she always managed to find the time to make and that was cheesecake and tacos. Frankie finished her cheesecake before Rayne and laid down with her head on Rayne's lap and closed her eyes, she felt safe when she was around her mother.
After ten minutes of laying with her head on her mom's lap, Frankie ended up falling asleep. Rayne managed to put Frankie in her bed and cover her up before kissing her forehead and going back to the living room to watch some TV before going to sleep. The following morning Rayne woke up to knocking on the front door and she got up as she heard Frankie groaning. She always groaned when she had to get up cause she loved to sleep. Rayne opened the door and saw a female bellhop standing there with a cart that had two covered dishes on it and in her arm was a box.
"Hello ma'am. I've been instructed to bring you and Miss. West breakfast by the Bailey twins. Oh and Miss. Crystal wanted this to be given to Miss. West." smiled the woman pushing the cart in and then handing Rayne the box as Frankie walked in rubbing her eyes.
"Thanks." said Rayne handing her a twenty dollar tip which she took happily and skipped off. "I see what you mean by getting breakfast." Frankie yawned and nodded. She took the box from Rayne and set it on the counter before sliding the top off. Inside was a Katana sword that was in it's sheath. A note laid on top of it which she took off and unfolded.
'Amber and I had an extra one laying around. Figured since you asked about an outbreak last night, you might need a weapon if it ever happens. This is a Katana Sword…yes it's said like that instead of Katana. Just remember…you must mean a lot of me if I'm willing to give you one of the three we had. ~3 Crystal'
"Huh." said Frankie before grabbing the handle of the Katana Sword and slid it out of it's sheath. She stared at the silver weapon, despite being called a Katana, it doesn't have any design similarities to a real Katana, the weapons blade was curved upward in a single direction near the handle.
"She gave you…a weapon?" asked Rayne as she had a piece of bacon in her mouth.
"I had a bad feeling last night." Rayne looked at Frankie with a worried expression. Normally her bad feelings came true. "I asked what she would do if an outbreak happened. She told me then asked why. I explained. The note says if it ever happens you might need a weapon."
"When's the show?"
"Um…6:30 tonight." said Frankie sliding the sword back into it's sheath.
"So we've got time to kill?" asked Rayne as Frankie took the cover off her plate and nodded. "Okay cool."
So during the day, Rayne and Frankie hung out in Fortune Park when Frank showed up. Frankie knew that Rayne would have something to say but her mother held back whatever rude comment she had. The three of them went to the Yucatan and Frankie saw a tiger and ran over to the glass. Her hands pressing against it as she stared at the tiger that was sleeping with it's paw under it's head. Frankie raised her camera and aimed at the tiger, she saw it's eyes open to look at her and she pressed down on the button, the camera making a snap noise as it took the tiger's picture.
After hanging out in the Yucatan cause Rayne wanted to play the slot machines for a while they went to the Palisades Mall, just to window shop. However when passing the store 'Kicks for Her', Frankie acted like a child and begged her parents if she could go inside. They let her and she got herself a new pair of combat boots. She was surprised however, her parents where behaving and even had civil conversations, something Frankie took a picture off cause she knew it probably wouldn't last. Finally 6pm arrived and they pretty much ran to the Fortune City Arena.
Rayne went to take her seat, while Frankie went to go get in her position and apparently…Frank was a special guest for the show. Crystal was up on a walk way with Frankie who was staring down looking scared a bit. TK had a harness around the younger girl and wanted her to dangle over the zombies to get nice shots. Crystal took her hand making the younger girl look with a scared look in her eyes. The slightly older woman kissed Frankie's cheek and rubbed the other one, however she was worried about it.
"I think this is a bad idea." said Crystal.
"I don't like it either, Crystal but TK wants shots of the zombies." sighed Frankie looking down over the arena. She was standing on the other side of the cat walk so she could be eased down above the zombies.
"Don't get bit or I'll kill you." ordered the Silver twin.
"I won't." said Frankie before kissing her cheek and stepping off as a man grabbed the rope and started lowering her down.
The first ten minutes was going okay, Frankie was getting some good pictures of the zombies and her dad fighting them wearing a weird wrestling outfit. When she felt herself dropped a bit and then she was jerked to a stop making her gasp out as the wind was knocked out of her and she looked up. She could hear TK shouting something about her and Frank. She couldn't make it out, her heart was beating too damn loud inside her ears. She looked at the stage and saw Crystal freaking out and hitting TK but she was shove aside.
"Lets see if Mr. Frank West will give up the money to save his daughter!" shouted TK.
"NO!" screamed Crystal.
"Drop her!" ordered TK.
Rayne stood up and Frank stopped as they heard Frankie scream and she was dropped into the crowd of zombies. Her arm shaking, the gauze started to turn a little red. "No…daddy!" cried Frankie.
"Frank get her!" shouted Rayne pressing her hands against the barrier that stopped the blood splatter as she watched her daughter in the large crowd of zombies.
Frank leaped off the small platform he was on, pushing zombies out of his way to reach Frankie. He saw one go to bite her and he kicked the zombie away hard, it's neck snapping. He grabbed her under her arms and pulled as she pushed herself back with her feet. He pulled her onto the platform and pushed her up onto one of the switches so 1: she was safe, that's what mattered and 2: she could keep the Grinder open. Frankie aimed her camera at Frank as he grabbed a zombie to push into the Grinder and quickly snapped a picture.
Fire shot out at Frankie making her scream and lay down on the switch. TK was laughing his ass off while Crystal glared at TK, she wanted to murder him right now. The bastard nearly killed her Frankie…yes HER Frankie! Frank managed to rack up to 28,000 hundred bucks which earned him a gold ranking. He and Frankie walked onto the stage and instead of heading towards Frank to give him the money, Crystal ran to Frankie and hugged onto her.
While Frank was in the men's changing room, Crystal was inspecting Frankie for cuts and bites. It turned out the reason her gauze turned red was a couple stitches came loose and opened her gash but it was easily fixed before the arena doctor before Crystal took her over. "Crystal…I said I'm fine." sighed Frankie.
"Are you sure?" asked Crystal.
"God, sis let her breathe." said Amber filing her nails. "Yeah that was a pretty fucked up thing for TK to do but she seems fine."
"Easy for you to say!" snapped Crystal at her twin.
"Man, I thought having to escape a zombie infested Chicago with my mom was pretty scary but that topped it. Never been that close to so many zombies." stated Frankie.
"Are you sure that you're alright?" asked The Silver Twin.
"Yeah. I'm fine." smiled the younger girl.
Crystal and Frankie left the dressing room and went into the elevator to go and get Rayne from one of the rooms. Rayne was sitting on a couch awaiting her daughter, she wanted to make sure she was alright. She hated what TK did and she even thought of suing him for putting her daughter in danger but she doubt anything would happen. He'd most likely pay a large amount of money so he wouldn't get in trouble. She hated him with a passion at the moment and she wanted to kill him.
The door opened making Rayne look to find Frankie and Crystal standing there. "Hey mom!" Rayne moved quickly to her daughter and hugged onto her tightly, acting like she'd disappear if she let go. "Thanks for bringing me up Crystal."
"No problem." she kissed Frankie's cheek before leaving.
While being in the room with her mother, Frankie could've sworn she felt the ground under her feet move a bit but she shrugged it off. Fifteen minutes passed when she heard screaming and Rayne looked at Frankie with a worried expression. Frankie ran to the door and opened it to find Zombies stumbling around and grabbing onto people. She looked at the elevator and saw Frank pulling himself out and a zombie going towards him growling. She grabbed her sword and slid it out of it's sheath…yes she brought the sword to the arena with her…she wanted to be prepared incase of anything.
She was about to go kill the zombie that went at her dad but a guy got in the zombie's way so the zombie latched onto him and sank it's teeth into the man's neck making him scream as Frank climbed out of the elevator. Rayne ran to Frankie and grabbed her wrist as Frank moved to his ex-wife and his daughter. An explosion happened behind them making them look and they noticed the explosion killed a few zombies and a female survivor. Now Frankie's expression turned to fear as Zombies groaned and stumbled towards them. Frank grabbed a fire axe and slammed the axe into one's head making Frankie's eyes widen.
"We got to go!" shouted Frank when a zombie went at Frankie making her freak out and swing her arm. The sword slicing it's head off, blood splattering onto her arm and blood sliding down the metal. Frank grabbed Rayne's wrist and they ran around a corner to see a man screaming as he was being dragged into a room. However those screams stopped and where followed by the sounds of the zombies eating him.
"Go!" shouted Rayne pushing Frankie foreword who looked behind her, pondering whether or go find Crystal or get somewhere safe then do it.
"Crystal." she said when Frank grabbed her around the legs and lifted her up making her let out a surprised squeal and he ran with her, while holding Rayne's wrist. "No! dad put me down! I got to get Crystal!"
"How when the elevator's stuck and not going anywhere?" he shouted running outside with Rayne. They stared around them watching people being tackled down by zombies and being eaten. "I have all the luck."
He set Frankie down and held onto her arm firmly so she couldn't run to go find Crystal. Frank saw a man shouting for them to get in the safe house and Rayne grabbed Frankie's other arm and ran towards it. Both of then forced her down the stairs and through the closing doors. Frankie glared at them and they let go of her, only for her to move away from her parents. She slid her sword into it's sheath and stared around at the other survivors before aiming her camera and taking a picture to put up on her photography website.
They all looked towards the recently closed doors as they heard banging on them from the zombies. When a noise went off that sounded like a quick warning alarm and the other doors started opening. A man wearing a Fortune City Emergency Shelter uniform stood on the other side. The survivors moved inside of the shelter but when Frank tried the man stopped him. "Hey…don't I know you?"
"Yeah, I'm Frank-Frank West."
"Yeah I know who you are. No offense but aren't you infected?" he asked putting his hand over his gun.
"He's got Zombrex." said Rayne quickly making the guard look at her.
"Well lady, he better have enough for three days."
"Three days?" asked Frank.
"Yeah. Standard protocol. They got to quarantine to city first then the military will arrive at first light on the third day." answered the guard.
Frankie was sitting in the security room, holding her sheathed sword, her forehead pressed against the handle. Rayne walked in with Frank and sat before Frankie as Frank looked for Zombrex. "I know where you can find some." said a female voice making them look, well except Frankie. "I know you need some but I won't tell anyone."
"Where can I find the Zombrex?" asked Frank.
"A pharmacy called Roy's Market in the Royal Flush Plaza. I'd try there first." she said when she held her hand out. "I'm Stacey Forsythe by the way."
"I'm Frank-Frank West. That's my ex-wife Rayne and my daughter Frankie."
"Francesca." said Rayne making Frankie roll her eyes.
"Anyway out of here?" asked Frank.
"Not that I know of but I suggest you find one. Frank there might be other survivors." said Stacey handing him an ear piece.
"Don't worry, I've had some experience rounding up survivors." he stated.
"I'm coming." said the younger West standing up making Rayne snatch her wrist up tightly. "Mother, I'm eighteen-fucking-years old, I can take care of myself. Trust me."
"Fine." said Rayne letting go of her.
"I'm gonna head to the hotel and get my laptop and a few other things." she said. "You need me to grab anything of yours?"
"My phone, charger, a pair of suit pants, and my shoes." said Rayne making Frankie nod.
Frank found a vent and opened it, telling Frankie he'd go first. She climbed into the vent and followed him through when he kicked the other end open and helped her out. "They never think of the vents."
"Dad…Zombies can't go in vents." said Frankie making him laugh.
While Frank went his way, Frankie ran to the hotel. She hit the elevator button repeatedly waiting for the elevator to show up. The zombies where slowly moving towards her and she didn't want them getting any fucking closer. The elevator opened and she hit the door close button before hitting her floor and the elevator started making it's way up. Frankie was standing there trying to figure out what she should grab for herself.
She would grab her laptop, that was a given, the dress Crystal gave her was another given. The clothes Crystal bought her, her plaid bra and panties…wait she was still wearing those well the bra at least. The elevator open and she ran to the hotel room quickly, unlocking it and moving inside. She quickly grabbed what her mother need and put them in her backpack before moving to her bedroom. She grabbed her old backpack and neatly folded the clothes that Crystal bought her before pushing them down into her back pack, before laying her laptop between the clothes so it had some protection from harm.
She grabbed four pairs of clean panties and even threw the dirty plaid ones in there cause if there was a washing machine in the safe house…she was using it. She put hair brush and make up in her old backpack then laid the dress on top with the black heels and her black tights before zipping it up. She quickly moved to her fridge and threw it open to find nine sodas left so she put them into the plastic bag she had next to the fridge and grabbed her two big bags of chips before leaving the hotel room. She would've grabbed her extra suit pants but the ones she was wearing was okay and as long as she had those, the white button up shirt on her back, and the jacket at the safe house, she'd be alright.
She went to take the elevator down but stopped as she thought that the zombies might be right outside the elevator. So she took the stairs and sprinted down them, making sure not to loose her balance. She didn't wanna do any more damage to herself especially when she had her stitches still in. She reached the door and went out it, to find not to many zombies around her and she quickly maneuvered around them and out the hotel. She quickly made her way back to the vent, making sure not to get to surrounded by the zombies but she made it completely unscathed.
She dropped the stuff off into the safe house before leaving again making her mother yell at her but Frankie didn't care. There was something she wanted to do and she was going to go do it. She just had to get through the Silver Strip and get to the Yucatan Casino. She climbed out of the vent and smacked into her father who had a female survivor with him but she just waved and skipped off. She ran through the Royal Flush Plaza and once reaching the doors that lead out to the Silver Strip, she pulled her sword out of it's sheath before taking a deep breath and pushing a door open. Zombies looked at her as she spun the sword in her hand and she smirked, nothing was going to stop her from getting to the Yucatan Casino to do what she had to do…nothing.
TBC…
