Sorry this is taking so long. I had something else, but we got XP and for some reason it got rid of all of our office programs. (Word, Publisher, and all those other things.) So I had to to use WordPad.. which sucks.. I hope you like it.. It took a long time to write.
When Clover woke up, she looked to where Sam was, but no Sam. It took her a minute to register what was going on, being that she just woke up. "Oh crap!" She finally said, practically rolling into a table. Alex looked stupidly around, one eye half closed. "Wha.. What's going on?" she asked sleepily.
Clover pointed to where Sam was, almost speechless. Alex put her head down for a second, and closed her eyes, when she sprung up. "What?!" A/N: Slow to react, huh? nn It's like me, I don't usually react quickly in the morning.) She glanced around the room, the door was closed so she couldn't have gotten out, she could barely crawl..
Clover, and Alex looked every in the room. They even checked in the other rooms, just case. They were greeted, not happily might I add, by Carmen. Her hair standing up in different directions. Her yellow eyes, shot them an annoyed glare. "It's 5 in the morning.." she mumbled, looking at the watch on her arm.
Alex looked around, thinking of an excuse. "Um.. I got this letter from a boy, and we were looking for it.." Alex said quickly, it was the best thing she could come up with, and she knew it would probably keep for mother away for a bit longer. Carmen quickly perked up. "Did you say boy? Oh, my Alex is finally getting a boyfriend!" Carmen strolled back into her room, leaving two dumbfounded teens.
"Let me get this straight.. You're pregnant, at 16, and your mom still wants you to get a boyfriend?" Clover asked, one eyebrow cocked. Alex nodded slowly, almost forgetting what they were really doing. "We're looking for Sam remember?" Clover nodded as well, and they continued on their search. After a couple hours of looking all over the house, no Sam. Alex glanced up at a clock, and it read quarter to 8.
"I'm going to call Jerry," Clover said finally, "Maybe he can help us." She turned on the compowder, and the face of Jerry appeared on the small screen. "Yes, what is it Clover?" he asked cheerfully, "How's Sam?" Clover's face went from a nervous smile, to just plain nervous. "That's kinda' what I wanted to talk to you about.. You see when we woke up this morning, Sam was gone!" Jerry simply put his hand to his chin, and starting to type some things on his computer. "I have all three of your DNA samples on this computer, if I can lock onto Sam's, then we should be able to find her.
Clover nodded, and then stopped. "Wait, you have our DNA on that?!" Clover said loudly giving him an almost disgusted look. Jerry looked at her confused, then said quickly, "No, no.. Those clones of yours we took, we studyed them, and also took their DNA. We knew it would come on handy some day." "O..k.." Clover said slowly, still giving him a weird look. Jerry continued, when the a picture appeared on the screen. It was a map, with a small blinking, red dot.
"That must be where Sam is.." Alex said, coming behind Clover and pointing to the screen. "Thanks Jer," Clover thanked before closing the compowder. "Let's go!"
They hopped onto a jet, and started to look for where the computer was telling them Sam was. The beeping it was making was becoming more, and more rapid indicating that they were getting closer. The landed on some deserted, well.. desert. It was eerily quiet, all that was heard was some howling of coyotes. Alex shuddered, "Where is she..?" Clover shrugged, squinting through the increasing darkness. Remembering that they were in another part of the world, and they spent some time on the jet. As Clover surveyed the area, she spotted a some light coming through a wide crack, under a large rock. "Let's check in there," Clover said to Alex, motioning towards the crack.
They managed to squeeze through, and started to make their way down. Clover saw a light on the side, which must of been what she saw. But after that, there were no more lights, and it was incredibly dark. A air in the crevice began to become tight, making in increasingly hard to breathe. As they thought they'd run out of air, they were 'hit' with a burst of oxygen. They could hear someone close by, and it started to become lighter.
Then the voice of someone was covered up by high pitched screaming, a baby screaming. Clover, and Alex exchanged glances and nodded to each other. They finally made it through the mini cave, and crawled into a room. They expected some kind of hightech, super villain, hideout. But really it looked like what an apartment would look like; chairs, a couch, tv, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Clover, and Alex stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. They heard someone coming, and they dove behind the couch. Someone walked into the room, Alex peered from behind the couch.
He had brown hair with a tinge of grey in it, his face worn, and somewhat wrinkly. He wore an olive green shirt, and khaki pants. He combed back his hair, trying to keep it out of his eyes. Alex saw in his arms, was Sam, half asleep. Alex pulled her head back behind the couch, giving Clover a worried look. "What are we going to do Clover?" Alex asked. Clover looked around for a second, and then brough her eyes back Alex. "We can cause a distraction, snatch Sam, and then make our way back through the tunnel." "Alright!" Alex said perkily but then stopped, "What's the distraction going to be?"
Clover looked at Alex wiley, giving her a smirk. Alex began to shake her head, "Nuh ah.. I'm not going to do it!" Clover stared at Alex, her sapphire blue eyes sparkling. "Clover what the hell are you doing...?" Alex asked, moving away from Clover, "Alright I'll do it!" As Alex snuck behind a chair Clover sighed, 'Why was Alex scared of me when I gave her that look..?' Clover shook the thought way, getting ready to make a mad dash to grab Sam.
Alex dug around in her backpack, and found what she was looking for. It was a barrette boomerang. She placed it in her hand, getting ready to throw the barrette when, laying on her stomach in front of her, was Sam. The strange must of put her down, and she crawled over. Alex froze, out of fear of Sam making a noise. Sam cooed, trying to reach her hand out to Alex, but she could hold herself up with one arm so she fell onto her face. Sam burst out crying, very loudly might I add, causing the man to come running over. He picked up Sam, trying to make her quiet. The he saw Alex kneeling there on the floor.
He froze just like Alex did when she saw Sam. His eyes went wide, and he hugged Sam closer to him. Before Alex could say anything, he burst out. "She's my daughter! You can't have her!"
Ohhh! Cliffy! nn I just had to do this. It's a bit short.. I know.. I was really running out of ideas. School's starting in less than a week. I'm going to be a little Sophy.
Next chapter: Is that guy a freakin' nut, or is there some truth to what he says? Probably not, but you can see in the next chapter, 'How it happened.'
For some reason I was getting sad while I was writing the end 'cause I was listening to "Bohemian Rhapsody' one of my favorite songs. Whatever.. I'm going to work on the next chapter for Koneko..
