Okay now readers, here is part 4 to this story!
Now let me give you a warning here: starting with this chapter (after the whole car scene with Andrew and Alex at least), this story will slowly start taking an even darker turn from then on, and I'm not kidding either. This story was already darker than most of my other stories, but I'm really going to amp up the contents from that point onward. Just a warning ahead of time.
In addition to the nasty review I had gotten that you should all know about by now, I've also been listening to several songs by Nirvana, which will be a second motivation as to why the story will become darker than it already was, with mentions of drugs, guns, terrorist attacks and bombing, trauma, major angst, more drama, heartbreaking sadness, depression, the thoughts of wanting to commit suicide, and the word rape will even be mention this time without being censored. Despite this, this story will make references to several Totally Spies stories that I've done previously, including the one that Andrew has a horrifying nightmare, and even the time where Alex was threatened that she'll be drugged and raped by a snotty girl's boyfriend if she didn't leave that convenient store, the latter of which is one of my more acclaiming stories due to being on a very serious topic and the fact that I can't stand rape at all.
Still, I hope you'll enjoy and continue to read the story in spite of the darker contents that will be included in this story.
Now for this chapter, Sam, Clover and Chaosky find out a little about the guy who was shown in the video and the image, people start protesting outside of their house, one of which will even throw a brick through a window in declaring the death of Andrew, Andrew and Alex end up singing in the car while traveling through the desert, the villain's name will possibly be revealed as he will commit more crimes and atrocities in the country, Andrew and Alex end up having to trek the desert of Arizona, they have a creepy encounter with a crazy old man, and some other stuff may be featured.

What kind of encounter will the couple have with this crazy old coot, and what other surprises may be occurring? Read and find out now!
BACK IN BEVERLY HILLS – 10:38 A.M:
At the beach house that the gang lives in at Beverly Hills, it seemed like a somewhat peaceful day this morning…or it would be if it weren't for the fact that people were surrounding the house in protest and were planning on having their voices heard by the owners of the beach house, declaring how much of an evil man Andrew is and just how much they hate him; judging by the picket signs they had with words that said similar stuff to what was seen last night in Oklahoma, and some of them had torches and pitch forks, making them seem like an angry mob out to get Andrew's blood, but the three spies residing in the house weren't paying any mind or attention to them, as they were occupied at the moment.
Sam and Chaosky, who have seemingly, woke up early that morning in spite of only getting a few hours of sleep since they went on an investigation late last night. Regardless, they both decided to check out the surveillance camera that they had unravelled in the rubble back in Oklahoma. They still didn't understand anything behind the footage since parts of it were cut off before and after the scene where that villain was on a shooting rampage and wasn't disguised as Andrew. They had assumed that it was rigged and sabotaged by someone to make it look like the perpetrator wasn't truly identified, but still, something about all of this didn't make sense at all. They were still waiting on Jerry for a complete analysis and identification on the man that popped up in the image Sam picked up from scanning it. Needless to say, they continued to watch the footage several times over and over again despite this making no sense.
Clover on the other hand, was not having any of that this morning; she felt the need to catch up on her sleep as a way to compensate from being up late on a late night mission last night. She didn't care what was going on right now, just as long as she got caught up on her beauty sleep…
Sadly for her, being able to do that would be unlikely, for one of the protesters outside the home had the audacity to pick up a nearby brick, and tossed it through Clover's bedroom window, where it broke and shatter parts of Clover's window, leaving a gapping hole in it as the brick then made direct contact with Clover's head, giving her a very rude awaking.
"YOWWWCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Clover screamed from the contact the brick made to her head.
Chaosky and Sam heard this as they immediately went into Clover's bedroom the moment they heard that, putting their video to the side for the moment.
"Clover, what happened," Sam shouted in concern. "Are you okay?!"
"No Sam, I'm not," Clover rubbed her temple when she saw the brick that hit her head and rudely awoken her. "Some jerk-wad decided to hit me in the head with a damn brick!"
It was then Chaosky saw the hole made in the window, courtesy of the brick.
"Oh my," Chaosky looked shocked. "Someone made a hole in Clover's window…"
"Oh goodness," Sam shook her head at his immature action.
Clover was on her feet and she stomped towards her window, and she opened her broken window and tossed the brick out her window, where it almost hit one of the protesters responsible for throwing the brick in the first place, who dodged it as Clover angrily shouted out to the protester.
"Uh, rude much," She sneered. "Can't you see that I'm trying to sleep here you idiot!?"
"No, and we don't care, dumb blonde," The protester snorted, obviously wanting to trigger Clover's rage. "WE ARE PROTESTERS!"
"Alright, dude," Chaosky decided to speak next as he approached the window while Sam had to get Clover to calm down from being called a dumb blonde. "Why the hell did you have to break that window!? Do you even know how much money it's going to cost to get that window replaced?!"
"Like I said, I don't care shrimp," The protester huffed again as Chaosky got angered from being called a shrimp, but in spite of that, he kept his anger to himself. "Where the hell is Andrew?! We know he lives with you goons!"
It was Sam's turn to speak as she then shouted.
"Alright, we'll have you know that Andrew isn't here," Sam shouted to them next. "And if you think we're going to let you do some hurtful stuff to our good friend and his girlfriend Alex, you better think again!"
"No matter, we shall let our voices be heard," The leading protester turned to face the other protesters. "WE SHALL BRING DOWN ANDREW, SHOW HIM HOW WE FEEL ABOUT THE FACE OF EVIL! WE WANT TO BRING ANDREW TO JUSTICE!"
"YEAH!" The other protesters yelled in agreement.
"BRING DOWN ANDREW! BRING DOWN ANDREW!"
"WE HATE ANDREW! WE HATE ANDREW!"
"ANDREW MUST DIE! ANDREW MUST DIE!"
"FBI SHALL CAPTURE HIM! AND BRING FOURTH JUSTICE!"
"DEATH TO THE PATHETIC GARY STU SHALL COMMENCE!"
The person who shouted that last part was greeted to several annoyed looks courtesy of the other protesters.
"What," The particular protester defended him. "That's what he is deep down inside."
The other protesters pushed that to the side and continued to protest and let their voices be heard, obviously getting on Sam, Chaosky and Clover's nerves, especially the case with the latter.
"Okay, those guys are so getting on my nerves," Clover huffed. "They are totally getting annoying…"
"I wouldn't be so worry about that Clover, or the broken window," Chaosky insisted. "I think we should be more worried about Andrew, even though Alex is with him and helping him through the tough time he's probably going through. These protesters are only making it harder for the man in a mentality sense."
"I know Chaosky," Sam agreed with him. "I'm really getting worried about Andrew's well being now, considering how much we now about his past."
"You know, that's something that I don't get," Clover turned to face them. "How come these people are being totally rude regarding Andrew? Don't they like him or something?"
Chaosky shook his head as he then revealed.
"Oh Clover, these people were never Andrew's friends, even after what had happened when we [Andrew and I] moved to Beverly Hills," Chaosky stated as he then reiterated. "Not to mention, Andrew really doesn't have an interest with being friends with all the people in the world. He doesn't care if they don't want to be his friends, he's just happy with what he has currently."
"But the people had actually respected him after that you know," Clover brought up. "Don't you think they would totally have respect for him after what had happened?"
Chaosky then decided on elaborating on that.
"Just because the people have had respect for Andrew, doesn't mean they want to be friends with him."
"Well still, I hope Jerry unravels something soon," Sam said with deep concern. "We really need to find out more about this villain character, and what connections does he have with Andrew…"
"I'm pretty sure Jerry is trying to look into it now as we speak," Chaosky made the estimate guess. "He might be uncovering something for us right now."
"Okay, well could he do it a lot faster," Clover complained. "I can't stand those protesters shouting for another second; it's so totally getting annoying."
Sam and Chaosky could only sigh at that, seeing that they couldn't handle the damn protests any longer themselves either. Regardless, the three of them were thinking about what they should do next for a course of action…
It was then, all of a sudden; Sam's compowder went off, and the three of them knew what that meant.
"That must be Jerry," Sam first commented.
"He probably must have found out something regarding that DNA sample we sent to him," Chaosky guessed.
"Finally," Clover shouted in exaggeration. "Maybe he can do something about those noisy protesters out there too!"
Sam and Chaosky gave her a blank look for a second before the former went on and opened up the compowder to answer Jerry's call. When she opened it, she saw Jerry's image right there.
"Why hello spies," Jerry greeted them. "Having a lovely morning aren't we?"
"Yeah, well, most of us aren't," Clover grunted as she continued to rub her head.
It was then Jerry heard the protesters shouting outside in the background.
"I say, what's going on out there," Jerry asked. "Where is that noise coming?"
"Oh it's just a bunch of angry protesters surrounding our house," Clover said bluntly.
"Oh my," Jerry said in shock. "What might the cause be?"
"Well Jerry, let's just say that they are out for Andrew's blood," Chaosky said nervously. "And they want to have their voices be heard and know how they feel about all of this…"
Jerry took a minute to take all that in and then simply said.
"I see…" He seemed a little disturbed by that, but he decided not to comment on it any further.
Sam then wanted to get straight to the point, as she then asked.
"Anyway Jer, did you do an examination on the DNA sample I sent to you?" She asked him.
"That's exactly what I was contacting you spies about," Jerry got to the point. "It was very odd and peculiar, as the image that popped up didn't look like Andrew in the slightest despite his name being identified on the sample next to the image."
"Did you search up and find out what the name of this stranger is Jerry?" Chaosky asked in confusion.
"Why yes I have Chaosky, in fact, I have been able to identify who the man in the picture picked up is," Jerry pulled the image and made the reveal he uncovered. "The guy appears to be identified as someone by the name of…'Vigilante', or however you put it…"
"Any background info on the guy we should know about Jer," Sam felt like asking.
"Well we haven't gotten anything aside from his identification, but according to the bio, it says that Vigilante or Vigil for short was someone who was working underground and in secret and doesn't make himself be known to the public, or something along that line…"
"Do you think you can find and locate any background information on this Vigil character," Chaosky asked. "He's probably the same guy we saw in the unprocessed incomplete video we found last night, and there's still so much confusion behind this."
"I can see why it's confusing Chaosky, but not to worry," Jerry assured them. "WOOHP here is working on uncover more background information on Vigil as we speak."
"Well okay then."
It was then the protesters outside were getting noisier and noisier.
"Okay, I can't take those stupid protesters anymore," Clover groaned. "Jerry, could you do something to get rid of these protesters?!"
Jerry thought about it and sighed.
"I suppose I could give my assistance," He then thought about it and decided to accept. "Very well, I have just the thing to help with that remedy."
It was then Jerry pressed a button and in a matter of seconds, a jet courtesy of WOOHP flew by which got the protesters attention, and it then dropped a smoke bomb, which wasn't explosive or deadly, but it then hit the ground, blew up allowing smoke to emerge from it, and it made a sound so frighteningly loud, it scared the protesters as they then proceeded to scream in a shrill tone of voice and they ran off, not looking back and leaving the location completely. Once they were gone, Clover could only look in relief.
"Thank you Jerry."
"Yes, anytime," He cleared his throat and then said. "Anyway, I should get going and see if I can find anymore info on this Vigil person."
"Good idea Jerry," Sam agreed with it. "In the meantime, we should go and observe that video some more."
"Yeah," Chaosky agreed. "Something doesn't seem right, and we should probably figure out the connection between Vigil and Andrew."
"Yes well, that might be a best idea," Jerry said before saying one last thing. "And one more thing, I do hope you find something soon, before Andrew gets captured by the FBI."
"Yeah, we'll get on it," Chaosky said.
Once they said their farewells, Sam ended the call and then said to both Chaosky and Clover.
"Well guys, let's watch that footage we unravelled some more," Sam told them. "Something tells me that a connection between Vigil and Andrew may not be what we think it is."
"Good idea Sammy," Chaosky liked the idea. "Let's go with it."
Clover felt like she didn't have anything better to do, especially since she was rudely awaken from her sleep. As such, she decided to go with it.
"Whatever." Clover sighed.
The three of them left the bedroom, promising to do something about Clover's broken window and the mess left behind later, but right now, they had to inspect the footage they found to try to find out more about this Vigil person…
MEANWHILE, ON THE OPEN ROAD – DESERT LIKE AREA IN ARIZONA – SOMETIME BEFORE NOON:
On the open road somewhere in Arizona, where we are now focused on a desert like surrounding area with an open road, see the car that Andrew was driving in and Alex was right beside him in the passenger seat, as they had narrowly escaped from the FBI quite some time ago, but Andrew felt like this wouldn't be the last time he'd see the FBI, for they'll surely continue to pursue Andrew at all costs until he's captured, or until his name has been clear. He still had no idea who was framing, how it was being done, and why/what was the reason/motive for this. Until something comes up in his favour, he'll have to continue being on the run with his girlfriend.
Deciding on putting that aside for now, Andrew sighed and wiped his forehead in relief as he continued driving.
"Whew, looks like we lost them," Andrew said in relief. "That was a close one."
"I hear you babe," Alex agreed with him. "Those guys were this close to shooting us down."
"I know honey," Andrew said. "But at least we're safe…for now."
"Yeah," Alex nodded slowly. "They'll probably hunt us down again, especially you Andrew."
"Yeah…I know…" Andrew was feeling a little nervous as he continued driving down the straight road, having so many thoughts in his mind, such as himself beginning to have doubt of being a good boyfriend at all and was feeling like he was a horrible boyfriend to Alex, even though his girlfriend would beg to differ. Still, he loved her so much and decided on putting that to the side as he kept driving.
Alex was getting really worried about her boyfriend and was wondering if this stress was getting to him. Destined on getting him off the stress for a bit, she decided on finding a good distraction for her man. When she came up with something, she then asked her boyfriend.
"Hey Andrew," She asked. "Would it be alright if we listen to some music on the radio for a bit?"
Andrew was a bit surprised at how she asked him something like that. He didn't see any harm out of listening to the radio for a bit.
"I don't see why not," Andrew shrugged his shoulders in a rather casual manner. "Sure sweetie."
"Thanks Andy!"
"You're welcome Allie."
Andrew then decided to turn on the radio, but once it turned on, nothing but static sounds were heard as Andrew knew what this meant. Alex on the other hand, decided to ask.
"Andrew, since when was static a music station?" She asked him innocently.
"Oh Alex, it isn't," Andrew shook his head at her cuteness and naivety. "The station just isn't coming in for some reason. Let me try to find another one."
"Oh, okay…" Alex felt a little foolish for a second there, but she then understood what he meant and decided to go with it.
And so Andrew searched through several channels for several minutes in a row, all of which had the same result; being nothing but static sounds. Not willing to give up, he kept searching through channel, wondering if there was a single channel that would come in and work…
Eventually, he finally found a station that came in (much to his relief).
Finally found one…
Ultimately, the song that was playing was the song 'Here We Go' by Moonbaby, and this got Alex's attention as the song was heard singing the following part:
We're gonna rock & roll 'til we stop…And then we'll drop…
This got Alex all too excited as she then squealed.
"EEEEEEEE! I LOVE THIS SONG!" Alex yelled with glee and excitement.
Andrew was surprised to see his girlfriend all hyped about this song, but regardless, he found it to be cute.
My girlfriend can be so cute at times… Andrew mused in his mind. It's no wonder why I love her so damn much…
It was then Alex started singing to the song.
"The bass line cuts deeper, than the Sharpest Stiletto…"
It was then Andrew found himself singing to the song too.
"So one two three now baby," Andrew sung to it too for his girlfriend. "Here we goooooo…"
Alex was so surprised to hear her boyfriend singing the song with her.
OH MY GOD! MY BOYFRIEND IS ACTUALLY SINGING THIS SONG WITH ME! Alex squeed mentally. He is so cute, and I love him so much!
While Andrew kept driving the car, the two of them started singing together (similar to a duet).
"Here we gooooooo! Here we gooooooooooooooooooo!" They sang together before Alex sang the next part solo.
"I'm your sugar-coated doll and you're my Romeo!" Alex sang to Andrew in a romantically happy manner.
"Here we gooooooo! Here we gooohoohoohooooooo!" They sang together again before Andrew sang the following part solo.
"Geek or unique, hell get on with the show!" Andrew sang to Alex in a happily seductive manner.
"Here we gooooooo! Here we gooooooooooooooooooo!" They sang together before Alex sang the next part solo for the second time.
"I'm your sugar-coated doll, you're my hero!" Alex sang to Andrew in a rather graceful and bubbly manner.
"Here we goooo! Here we goooo! Here we goooooooooooooooooooooo!" They sang together in a duet fashion as the both of them were apparently having fun while doing it.
They spent the next few minutes singing the song together (solo or duet) and they were shown laughing in a happy manner, both of them having so much fun singing to the song as Andrew kept driving.
"Oh Andrew," Alex sighed after laughing. "That was so much fun."
"I know it was babe," Andrew agreed. "I had fun myself."
"You know Andrew, I think that song would make a great theme song for a cartoon show," Alex pointed out.
"Yeah, with rewritten words about action and spies," Andrew cited. "Not to mention being for a show about three high school girls who are secret spies and live in Beverly Hills."
"Hmmmm, I wonder why that sounds familiar," Alex was thinking about what Andrew just said.
"I think it's because we're in a story based on said series we're talking about."
"Oh, I get it honey."
Andrew nodded as Alex then decided to say.
"In any case honey, I didn't think you'd want to sing that song with me," Alex pointed out. "A song by a female singer no less."
"Well what can I say Allie, I'm full of surprises," Andrew claimed. "Besides, I'm always willing to do something with you and allow you to be happy sweetheart."
That compliment actually touched Alex as she squealed once again.
"OOOOHHHHHH ANDREW! YOU ARE THE SWEETEST MAN I KNOW," Alex yelled happily. "Thank you so much honey! You are the best boyfriend ever!"
"Yeah, anything for my pumpkin," Andrew laughed nervously before this thought came into his head.
If only you knew how awful I've been by allowing you to come on this journey with me…
Andrew kept that thought to himself as Alex rested her hand on Andrew's lap to show her affection in a different method since he was driving as he kept driving for a few more minutes…
Suddenly, while they were still driving, the car was starting to pump some steam from the hood and it started shaking, getting Alex a little nervous.
"Andrew, what's happening," Alex asked in concerned.
"I don't know babe," Andrew stated. "Something's wrong with the car!"
In a matter of minutes, the car came to a halting stop, letting out some smoke and such as it then suddenly died on them and the car couldn't move any further. Andrew knew what this meant and he wasn't too thrilled about it.
"Aw, dang nabbit! Bad news Alex," Andrew gave her the bad news. "I think our car just died out on us!"
"Awww," Alex whined in disappointed. "I was actually having so much fun with you driving it!"
"I know you were honey buns," Andrew then got out of the car and opened the hood, as he started hacking and coughing since smoke got into his face as he waved it away from his face. He then took a look at it and saw just how bad it looked.
"Yup, just as I thought," Andrew said as Alex got out and got a good look at what Andrew was talking about. "The battery to the car is dead."
"Well that sucks Andrew," Alex stated. "Guess the car isn't any use now…"
"Yeah," Andrew nodded as he looked around the area and saw nothing but desert Arizona plains and a single small building right nearby the dead car. "Alex, if I can imagine correctly, I'd say we're in the Arizona desert right now…"
"Wow," Alex was shocked by this. "We've traveled that far?"
"I guess so," Andrew went with it. "Problem is I don't know if we're anywhere close to a nearby town…"
"Me either," Alex agreed with him.
It was then another voice was then heard.
"Hehehe, so I guess I've got some travelers whose car just broke down, eh?"
Both Andrew and Alex cringed when they heard that voice as they turned to face the only building they could see for miles, which was right near the car that just died on them. The person who said that was revealed to be some old coot or man, who had white hair and a white beard. One could guess that this guy was kinda creepy, judging by his appearance, but moreover, he was more crazy than anything else, making him relatively harmless. Still, something about this man got Andrew feeling a bit unnerved. Despite this, Andrew kept that to himself as he then said.
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that sir," Andrew apologized. "We didn't mean for us to trespass here, our car had broken down on us."
"You darn right your car broke down on y'all," The crazy coot hooted. "And you ain't trespassin' on nowhere."
"Oh, well we're still sorry mister," Alex apologized to him next. "We didn't mean to disrupt whatever it was you were doing."
"Oh missy, you ain't disruptin' anything," The man stated. "This here is my shack of goodies and such."
"That's good to know sir," Andrew said while rubbing the back of his head in nervousness.
The old coot then examined Andrew for a second and realized who he was exactly.
"Hey, you would happen to be the one named Andrew right?" The old coot asked.
"Uh…yeah, what's it to ya," Andrew asked cautiously, having this bad feeling in his gut that he knew what this old man was starting to get at.
"What's it to me? More like what's it to you sonny," The old coot yelled. "The entire world and the FBI is on the hunt for ya fer the infamous crime that you have supposedly committed in Oklahoma!"
"Oh come on," Andrew cried in exaggeration. "I swear I didn't bomb and shoot that business down!"
"Ah yes, that's what they all say sonny,"
Alex then decided to step up for her boyfriend.
"Now look, my boyfriend is telling the truth," Alex spoke on behalf of her boyfriend. "He would never do anything like this! Someone was probably posing as him and framed him for a crime he didn't commit!"
"So it would seem," The old coot then took noticed how stressed Andrew was. "Listen sonny, I'll tell ya what; y'all lookin' all too stressed out right now."
"Isn't it obvious," Andrew grumbled under his breath.
"And because of that," The old man continued. "I am willin' ter make ya a proposal y'all couldn't possibly refuse."
"What kind of proposal," Andrew raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
"Why helpin' yerself to one o' mah many goodies in my shack, that's what," The old coot directed both of them to his shack of goodies. "I've got the best stuff ter help out wit tough times like your goin' through right now sonny."
"And what 'goodies' do you sell if I may ask," Andrew asked in a cautious manner.
"Why all the best stuff you can think of," The coot then offered. "Would y'all like some Lithium, Heroin, Crack, Cocaine, LSD, Liquor, or mah personal favourite; Marijuana!?"
Andrew was taken aback by the offer; as if the man wasn't creepy enough, he was now going through his way to offer Andrew some drugs he could have so he could get stoned and wasted as a way to counter all the stress that he has. Andrew was in his early 20s, but he still didn't want to take the chance. He then said.
"Look mister, I appreciate the offer, but I have to decline," Andrew said in a polite. "I don't do drugs."
"Ya sure bout that sonny," The old coot asked. "Yer not gonna crack without Lithium?"
"I'm sure I won't sir," Andrew stated.
"Oh, well how bout some grungy accessories," He offered. "Ya could go fer a grungy outlook right about now and feel much better 'bout yerself."
"I'm sorry sir, but I can't do that either," Andrew said. "That sounds so 90s, and I don't think I should do that."
As the old coot kept making offers to Andrew, Alex saw a sign that said 'NO GUNS SOLD HERE!' which caught Alex's attention as she then asked the coot.
"You don't sell guns here mister?" She asked.
"Yes, I swear that I don't have a gun missy," The coot recited. "No I don't have a gun!"
"Okay…" Alex was a little confused by his response.
The coot turned his attention back to Andrew.
"Well how bout helpin' yerself to some deodorants that I have in stock right 'bout now," The old coot offered.
"I'll pass."
"Are ya sure? These are Teen Spirit brand."
"I'm sure sir."
The coot turned his attention to Alex.
"How 'bout you missy? Would ya like a Teen Spirit brand deodorant," The coot tried offering her. "Do ya even know what these smell like?"
Alex, letting her curiosity and naivety get the better of her then asked.
"No mister, what do they smell like?" Alex asked him innocently.
"What do ya think missy," The coot then answered her question. "This stuff Smells Like Teen Spirit!"
Andrew looked surprised, obviously getting the reference that the coot gave out while Alex noticed something familiar about what the coot just said.
"Uh, why does that sound like a song that I've heard from somewhere before?" Alex asked as Andrew approached.
"It is a song reference Alex," Andrew told her. "And I clearly got the reference when he said it."
"Oh," Alex nodded her head as she took a sniff at one of the deodorants. "Wow that really does smell like Teen Spirit."
"Yeah, no kidding sweet pea," Andrew said to her playfully in a joking teasing manner.
"Oh sweetie, you really love to play with me don't you," Alex giggled.
"You bet I do." Andrew grinned in a seductive manner, but before things could get saucy between the couple, the old man decided to say.
"So, ya sure you don't want anythin' that I could possibly have in my shack," The old man asked. "You sure you won't get hungry?"
"Uh yeah," Andrew said. "My girlfriend and I should be good."
"Ya sure?" He double checked. "Ya don't want a mulatto? An albino? A mosquito? Not even a libido?"
"Yes mister and we get the references to the grunge band you're referring to," Andrew told him. "Point is, we are good from here on out."
"But what you can do for us mister though, is maybe possibly do me and Andrew a favour," Alex started.
"What favour are ya referrin' to," The man looked curious. "Ya like to be given a Heart-Shaped Box?"
"Uh, actually mister, we just want to know if there's a town nearby that Andrew and I could make it too since we don't know of the closest one…"
"Oh, its direction y'all want huh? Why didn't ya say so," The old man then decided to answer them honestly. "Well, right now yer in the middle of the desert, but in 'bout 5 to 6 miles from here, y'all could end up catchin' yerselves into the city of Phoenix, which is exactly as far as I mention it is."
"Really," Andrew raised his eyebrow. "We're close to the city of Phoenix?"
"You betcha," The man told him. "It might take a while on foot, but once ya get there, it'll be home free fer anyone lookin' for civilization."
"That's good to know mister," Alex remarked. "Thanks a bunch."
"Pleasure doin' business wit y'all," The coot said. "Say, y'all betta git goin' now. I get the feelin' that the FBI is right on yer tail Andrew, and they are almost nearby to git ya."
This update actually got Andrew even more tensed and nervous than ever before; because he couldn't be 100% sure that this old coot was trustworthy, since even though he was harmless (to an extent), he also seemed crazy and it all came to him as a surprise. As such, he then gave this response to the old man.
"Please mister, whatever you do, please don't rat me out," Andrew begged. "I don't want to be turned in and executed for a crime I didn't commit…"
The man was quite intrigued by his plea of mercy as he had to think about it for a minute, while stroking his beard.
"Hmmm…" The man then came up with something. "Sure sonny, I won't snitch on ya…on one condition…"
"Anything mister," Andrew was desperate. "You name it, and I'll do it!"
ONE MINUTE LATER…
"98, 99, 100 cents," Andrew was giving the coot money. "Here you go sir, here's five bucks and 100 cents made up in 2 quarters, 3 dimes, 2 nickels, and 10 pennies, that should be enough to cover it."
"You bet it is sonny! This will work!" The old man seemed to be admiring the money like a con-artist, but despite this, he seems like he'll keep his word and not snitch on Andrew. "Well, away with ya now since y'all don't want anythin' else 'round here."
"Okay, thanks sir," Andrew said. "Come on Alex, we better get going."
"Right sweetie," Alex then said to the old coot. "Bye mister, and thanks again for the directions."
"Anytime missy, and don't worry 'bout the dead car here," The old man hollered. "I'll be sure to disassemble it and make some use out o' them fer products that I could sell in the future!"
"Right," Andrew hollered. "Thanks again for the help!"
"Yeah, thanks again mister!"
"Anytime partner," The old coot called out to them. "Good luck on clearin' yer name Andrew son!"
"Thanks a bunch for that!" Andrew shouted. "Really!"
"Well, take care sir!" Alex shouted afterwards.
"Same to ya, and remember, Come As You Are…"
"We know," Andrew shouted. "As you are, as you were!"
"Right, goodluck!"
"Yeah thanks, see ya!"
They then gave their final farewells before the couple were now out of earshot with the old guy.
"That guy was creeping me out a bit," Andrew told his girlfriend. "I can't believe he was offering me drugs."
"Yeah, that was creepy honey, but at least he gave us directions," Alex pointed out. "Besides, he wasn't nearly as bad as the old creep who tried to have sex with me, or that jerk-wad neighbour who played his music too loud."
"Yeah that's true," Andrew had to agree on that. "Still, it seemed so strange."
"Yeah I get what you're saying," Alex understood as she nodded. "I can't believe he made several references to that grunge band that existed in the 90s for a brief period of time."
"Yeah, I'm honestly not surprised that he decided to make several puns and references to Nirvana," Andrew then admitted. "It's not any worse than the time I had that encounter with that skateboard gang who made several puns and references to Green Day."
"Wait what hon," Alex looked confused. "When did that happen?"
"Oh it's a long story babe," Andrew said to her.
Alex didn't feel like pushing it, so she kept it to herself.
"Well anyway honey," She grabbed his hand. "It's great that we are together."
"Alex, I'm happy that we are together too," Andrew admitted.
"Oh Romeo," Alex said to him. "I love you so much."
"I love you so much too, my sugar-coated baby doll."
They then dove in and went straight to French kissing, as their tongues had some tongue sex, wrapping around each other in a dance and cuddle like they always did as the couple enjoyed every second of it, not holding back one bit.
Afterwards, they stopped French kissing as they then looked at each others eyes romantically as they felt that they should get traveling now if they want to be able to evade the FBI's pursuit of Andrew.
"So, shall we get going now sweet cheeks," Andrew asked.
"Oh we shall, honey bunny," Alex gave him that bubbly smile. "Let's go honey."
After planting a kiss on each other's cheeks and hugging for a moment, the two of them grabbed hands like a happy couple as they started the trek on foot to head to Phoenix Arizona to figure out what to do next and find out who the heck framed Andrew. Regardless on what they do, it's clear that the FBI will catch up to him eventually, and it was also clear that Alex is now wanted by the FBI too for aiding said fugitive in escape. They'll find out soon enough…
WITH THE FBI – 11:47 A.M:
Back with the FBI, it seems that they had already finished shipping for wanted posters that were updated to capture not just Andrew, but Alex too for aiding Andrew in his escape. All the posters were put into a truck which drove off and the posters will be posted all across the country.
"Well, that takes care of that," An FBI agent dusted his hands.
"Tell me about it," Another one huffed. "It took ages to make those dang posters!"
"WHO CARES!?" A third FBI man boomed. "I WANNA FIND THAT ANDREW PRICK AND RIP HIS NECK OFF FOR MAKIN' A FOOL OUTTA ME!"
"Cool it toughie," A fourth FBI man insisted. "You'll get your chance! But we need to find that twat and his girlfriend first!"
"Well where the heck could they be," A fifth FBI person sneered. "They vanished on us last and we lost sight of them, and now we don't know where they are! WE HAVEN'T SEEN THEM SINCE!"
The FBI men decided to think for a moment or so, when one of their phones went off as the first FBI man felt his phone ring as he took it out and answered it.
"Hello?" He asked.
The loud boisterous voice was the FBI boss as he was speaking in a humorous indecipherable language.
"BLARGLE! BLARGLE BLARGLE BLARGLE!" The boss barked.
"What? He's where currently?"
"BLARGLE BLARGLE BLARGLE!" He bellowed.
"You've saw him in the Arizona desert via cameras set up across the country," The guy asked. "He's heading where precisely?"
"BLARGLE BLARGLE BLARGLE!" He boomed harshly.
"THE CITY OF PHOENIX HUH!?" The guy heard the boss harshly speak to him. "YES, WE'LL MAKE SURE HE GETS KILLED SIR!"
"BLARGLE BLARGLE BLARGLE!"
"Yes, we are morons, nimrods, god damn sh*theaded airhead nincompoops," The guy repeated.
"BLARGLE BLARGLE BLARGLE! BLARGLE BLARGLE BLARGLE!"
"SIR YES SIR!" The FBI guy saluted in an affirmative manner. "WE'LL GET ON IT!"
The call ended as the guy informed his partners.
"Men, Andrew and his lady are in the desert of Arizona, heading to the city of Phoenix," He informed them.
"WELL WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR!? LET'S GET HIM!" The loud FBI man howled. "I'VE BEEN ITCHING FOR A FIGHT WITH THAT TWERP ALL DAY!"
"Yeah, let's go," The FBI man with a Brooklyn accent said. "The sooner we kill him, the better."
"YEAH, LET'S GO!"
And so the FBI men went into their vehicles and decided to head off to the Arizona desert to take down Andrew and take out Alex for aiding Andrew, unaware that there was another massive problem about to occur shortly in another location…
ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF CHICAGO IL - AT DEAD NOON:
We see the city of Chicago IL, having a seemingly ordinary day, unaware of the danger ahead of them, as a figure was shown looking down on the outskirts from a distance up above and this was revealed to be none other, than the villain behind the previous terrorist attack, who has been properly identified as Vigilante, or simply Vigil for short. From the looks of it, Vigil was about ready to plan a second terrorist attack on the city, once again posing as Andrew, and Vigil had the right kind of weaponry of guns and grenades and the watch to turn himself into the man he's posing as. He was more than ready to impose more terror.
"Hehehehe, this city will be in for a big bang once I impose terror on this town posing as Andrew," Vigil snickered evilly. "Not only will I be able to create more agonizing terror like the lord wishes, but Andrew will become even more hated than ever before, and he'll be killed off for good," He showed his guns and grenades. "With this attack and two more attacks planned, Andrew will finally meet his end, and no one can stop me!"
He then transformed himself into Andrew with the watch as he got ready.
"And this first attack shall commence right about now," He stated. "My lord shall be avenged and vengeance will be ours!"
After howling evilly, Vigil decided on pursuing the city of Chicago, where he'll impose his wrath and terror on it and two other locations planned afterwards to make sure Andrew gets killed off for good as a way to avenge his lord Vector. With that said, Vigil jumped down and headed for the city to impose terror, unaware that there was one major flaw with this plan and the person who is living proof that Andrew didn't do this; Alex his girlfriend is with him this whole time and they never went to Chicago or the other two places he has planned to impose terror on. With this and more footages of the attacks and a full proof footage to be taken in one of the future locations for terrorism, Vigil's plan will end up falling apart and he will be exposed as the real mastermind behind the attacks, and he will be revealed to have framed Andrew for the attacks, which will be happening very soon…
