Chapter 7
...::Runo's Pov::…
"Okay guy's good job, let's take a lunch break." I shouted getting everyone's attention.
We had made pretty good progress with Ariel's sub design and right now we were getting the required material.
"I'll go ahead and get started on that." Scott informed then headed towards our kitchen.
"Hey, Julie can you go help him?" I asked putting my long hair up in a pony tail.
Julie glared at me and shook her head, "I don't help people who talk behind other peoples back." Julie grumbled then stalked away.
I raised an eyebrow, what was up with her?
"Runo,"
I looked up and saw Karen walking towards me with a shy smile.
I smiled and pulled her in a hug. "You okay?"
She shook her head and clutched my back. "I heard something, banging on the doors."
I frowned, "Hey Dan and Ariel come here for a second."
Ariel looked up from a sheet of paper and walked over here, Dan closely behind.
"Something wrong Runo?" Ariel asked casting a glance at Karen.
I shrugged, "Maybe, Karen here heard something banging at one of the doors."
Dan looked slightly confused. "Do you think it's the rescue team?" Hope was laced in his tone.
I shook my head, "No Shun and I already ruled out that possibility. No one knows we're stuck in here."
"So what's causing the noise?" Ariel asked.
"That's the question isn't it?" I looked down at Karen.
"Why don't you go help Scott?" I suggested with a light smile.
Karen shook her head, "No. I want to stay with you." Her slightly chubby cheeks were softly coated red and her vibrant blue eyes held determination.
"Karen, please. Go find Scott."
Karen looked down, "Fine, but be careful Runo."
Karen left and I sighed a bit.
"The kid really likes you." Ariel commented.
I nodded my head, "Yeah, well let's go check out that noise."
We headed towards the main entrance of Wal-Mart and the noise Karen told me about I could now hear. There was a slight dent in the door.
I put my hand on the door and felt vibrations; I turned back to Ariel and Dan.
"Guys I think something is trying to get in."
"But, what?" Ariel asked coming up next to me.
"I don't know but whatever it is, it's making progress and it just might make it in. We all know what'll happen if it does."
"Do the cameras still work from outside."
I shook my head, "Doubt it but I get Shun and we'll check it out later. I think we may want to speed up our work progress before whatever out there gets in here. We'll tell the others at dinner."
Ariel nodded, "Good idea, I'm going to go check on Scott, see if he needs any help. Come get me if anything else happens." She waved then she was off.
"This is all to over whelming." I muttered playing with the end of my long ponytail.
Dan wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me into a hug. I tensed a bit then slowly wrapped my arms around Dan.
"We'll all be fine don't worry Runo; you're doing a great job." Dan whispered.
I blushed a bit but I didn't let go.
"Thanks Dan."
"Anytime."
Dan pulled away first and I already missed the comfort of his arms.
"Why don't go watch a movie while Scott and Ariel handle dinner?"
I nodded and smiled. "That sounds fantastic. I don't know if I take any more stress."
Dan grinned and pulled me towards the third floor where all the technology was located.
"I set another T.V so if anyone ever wanted to get away from the group for a bit they could come here."
A huge flat screen T.V was set up along with a small snack stand and a long comfy looking couch. Dan walked over to a stack of movies and began shuffling through them. I walked over to the couch and plopped down on it with a relived sigh.
"So what do you want to see, we've got Iron Man(First and second), Inception, Star wars,Lord of the Rings, Transformers(All three), The Dark Knight—"
"Whatever's fine." I interrupted with a laugh.
"Then we're watching Spider-Man." Dan quickly put the movie in and joined me on the couch.
I raised an eyebrow, "What's Spider-Man?" I asked.
Dan looked at me like I sprouted a second head.
"What."
"You've never heard of Spider-Man?"
"Nope."
Dan nodded like that explained everything in the world. "This is why so much stress is upon you, child. For you have not seen the wondrous webs of Spider-Man."
I burst out laughing, "Is this your attempt at making me feel better."
Dan's cheeks flushed slightly and he scratched the back of his head. "Well, uh, yeah."
I smiled and kissed his cheek, "Thanks, Dan."
The movie began playing and I leaned my head on Dan's shoulder, he seemed surprised but then wrapped an arm around me tugging me closer.
This was perfect.
