Chapter 7: Surprise
Lilly grabbed her baseball bat which she always carried with her around the dorm(who knows when the living dead would attack?). Slowly, quietly, she crept towards the door and resumed a crouch.
She poised the bat on her shoulder, ready to strike.
The doorknob jiggled and turned, and the door swung open.
"I told you turning off the electricity was a bad idea," Harry hissed at Unicycle. The two of them were crouched outside Kori and Lilly's dorm door, trying to pick the lock.
"The plan includes kidnapping, idiot. We don't want her to see us!"
"Yeah, well, thanks to you, genius, we can't see what we are trying to pick too!"
"Keep your voice down," Unicycle gritted his teeth in frustration. "Okay, remember the plan: go in, grab her and do it like when we kidnapped Kolio for Aca-initiation night. Okay? Gag her, she might scream."
Harry flipped him the bird. Unicycle did not see it because of the dark.
"We could just cut off the lights in their room. Why the entire floor, huh?" Uni ignored his whining. He frowned in concentration and stabbed the lock with the hook a few more times.
Click. "Yes! Finally!" Harry groaned and reached his hand for the doorknob.
"Wait!" Unicycle snapped. "I'm going in. Stay here."
A tall shadow crept into the dorm room quietly. Lilly didn't move. She stayed right where she was, baseball bat poised and ready.
She was frightened.
"Huh," the shadow said to himself. Lilly was sure the shadow was a guy. "Guess she's not home…"
Uni, deflated, turned around to go out through the door when he caught sight of a pair of glittering eyes staring at him in fright right behind the door.
"What the f—" he started to exclaim before blinding pain exploded in his head.
"Why are they taking so long?" Donald scanned the surroundings impatiently. It has been well over half an hour and Unicycle and Harry were still nowhere to be seen.
Greg shrugged, stuffing a handful of sour-cream flavored onion rings into his mouth.
They were sitting at a picnic table, on the edges on campus. It was one of the most peaceful places on Barden, surrounded by trees.
Donald rolled his eyes at him. "Do you ever stop eating?" he demanded.
Greg shrugged again, offering the bag to Donald. Donald ignored him and stared at the sky.
It was quiet and peaceful here, Donald reckoned, studying the trees and the little picnic table. Perfect for apologizing. He hoped Kori wouldn't be too mad at him for kidnapping her.
Donald scrunched his eyebrow together. Now that he thought about it, Plan Grab And Roll was a bad idea. A super, awful, blow-up-in-your-face bad idea. Why did he even agree to it?
Because, the voice in his head whispered, you care.
Shut up, Donald thought back.
Just then, Donald's phone belted out the intro to Crazy Frogs. The voice was shockingly loud in this little peaceful bubble.
He fumbled and hit the 'answer' button on his phone. "Hello? Uni?"
"Uh, no," the voice on the other end answered. "Harry."
Donald felt worry roil in his gut. "Why are you calling me on Uni's phone?"
"About that…" Harry hesitated. "Yeah, we might have a slight problem."
Surprise!
