PUT THE STUFF IN THE THING, IT'S GONNA GO BOOM! – Tumblr about Welcome to Night Vale
Adam woke up blind folded and tided up. Just another average Saturday night as far as he was concerned. "Hey Jamie?" he asked, hoping that was who's back was against his.
"Yes Adam?"
"We got captured didn't we."
"Yes we did."
Adam sighed and pulled the ropes over their head and tugged the blindfold off with it. In a bunker not far away sat two henchmen. Grant glared at Tori as the two bickered about their inability to tie knots.
Not knowing that they were being watched, Adam and Jamie looked around the empty room. "Well," Adam said, "How do we get out?"
It took Jamie all of a second to look up and find a lightbulb. Without saying anything he reached up and unscrewed the lightbulb. He smashed it on the ground and took out the filaments. He looked up at the door and down at the filaments before throwing them down on the ground and walking over to the door. "They're to thick." He said.
Adam nodded and took off his boots. They had been captured while they were in their, more or less, civilian clothes. But luckily, because of their "day jobs", Adam wore steel toe shoes all the time. He positioned the filaments between the metal toes and started hammering. This prosses was so load he failed to notice Jamie pacing back and forth between the door and the opposing wall. That was until the door was knocked down and Jamie picked himself off the ground and brushed the tiny pieces of wood that stuck to his shirt. He then walked back into the first room to pick up rope. "That works to." Adam shrugged and put his shoes back on.
The henchmen stared at the computer screen "You didn't reinforce the door?" Grant hist.
"They weren't supposed to be able to get out of the ropes!"
"We got to stop this." Grant growled, pushing his chair back and standing up. "Grab you binoculars. We're keeping this job."
Adam and Jamie wondered into the next room and found to find an undeveloped film and a kitchen. While Jamie got to work on trying to develop the film, Adam wandered around the kitchen to try and find something to drink. "Can you please try and help?" Jamie scolded.
"I am." He said, opening the fridge. "I use to be a film developer so I'm looking for the stuff you use to soak the stuff in." he pulled out the milk and OJ before closing the door and going to the pantry. "I know you need ammonia but I don't remember if that's the first step or the second."
Jamie shrugged and took the OJ out of Adams hands and used it as the second ingredient. Because they didn't know which order to go in, they ended up tarring the thing in half and trying both. Unfortunately even if they had gotten the formula right, which they didn't, they had ruined the film and it wouldn't be able to watch it. Adam ended up wandering around the room, opening drawers and dumping out they're content until he found something useful.
There was a folded piece of paper with the words Do not leave lying around written on it. Adam opened it up and found out it was directions to some place. "Look what I found!" he called.
Jamie walked over to him and took the piece of paper from Adams hand. "Where's it to?"
"Who cares, not here!" he laughed and looked around to find an air duck just above them. He laughed and broke the thing before swinging up. Luckily it was a flat duck so there was no need for the less then possible virtual clime. He popped his head back out of the duck and beckoned Jamie to follow him. "Come silent walrus! Let us pillage the villains camp." He laughed and disappeared back into the duck. Jamie just sighed and followed him.
The two made a hell of a lot of noise but luckily it didn't take long to reach the outside world and to discover that they were in the middle of nowhere with no one around. Jamie took a look at the directions, then at the sun, and headed off.
Off in the distance the two henchmen slid into the grass and watched them.
When the directions ended, the two were standing in the middle of the field. "Well this got us nowhere." Adam said. Jamie just pointed to the blue tarp that stuck out in the green field. "Oh." He cheered up and ran right over to the thing. It was the henchmen's base. The tarp was held up by pvc tubs and the ground was covered in potatoes. There was also some other stuff around like propellant and stuff to start a fire. "Let's make a kite!" Jamie shrugged and went with it.
Over in the grass where the henchmen laid, Tori turned to look at his partner "You know what." He said "I want to help them."
Grant was spectacle about that. "But, we're the ones who kidnapped them?" he phrased it as more of a question then a statement.
"Yeah, we know that, but they don't." Grant nodded and the two slipped away. The job wasn't really that important. He had enough money to build a decent robot and start fighting again. Or, he could join the jail breakers.
Hey, if you can't beat them, join them and destroy them from the inside.
As the ex-henchmen flew in on a helicopter, they spotted the blue kite and went down to pick up the ones that they had just kidnapped. They climbed out to greet the two, and Adam and Jamie climbed in. Grant and Tori waved them off as they disappeared into the sky.
"Wait." Tori stopped "They just took our helicopter!"
Grant cursed and the two ran back to their base to try and radio in some help. After this Grant would return to robot fighting and Tori would do whatever.
