In this chapter, I am introducing Acid Rose, another one of my friends who I couldn't help adding into the story! I hope you enjoy it, it may be boring but things are going to get exciting soon! X
With only four or five more hours till we returned to the motel, everyone was getting excited by the fact we could see Ghoul again. I couldn't help peeking at Party Poison over the top of my can; he seemed to be in a world of his own. Thinking about me...? I'd tried and failed to get him out of my head, and settled on concentrated on having a well-deserved lunch. "Cold baked beans." Said Jet unenthusiastically. "Great." Neon and Kobra were in the front (they seemed unable to be three metres apart); it was nice to be in the cool, fresh air. "We should probably get some supplies on the way back to Ghoul." Missile Kid chipped in. I was sat next to her, glad to have some more chatty company. For some reason, it reminded me of when my sister and I were inseparable. "I actually think of you as my little sister, you know that?" I smiled at Missile, she returned it. "It's great to have you back!" grinned Poison, getting into the conversation. "Yeah, everything is practically perfect now." Jet Star sighed and leaned back. "All we need to do now is lay low for a while and wait for Fun Ghoul to get better." It seemed like my life was pretty much complete, to top it all off we could have a little break from being very busy little killjoys while Ghoul healed. Or so I thought...
"My turn to drive?" I asked Kobra Kid as he clambered into the back with us, the truck had stopped. "Yeah, Neon is staying in there." I climbed into the driver's seat and fired up the engine again. "Hi, Freedom..." yawned Neon Punk as we set off once again. "Tired?" I questioned her, she nodded. "I didn't get any sleep; I just talked to Kobra all night." I rolled my eyes; they were head over heels in love... I wanted to vomit. "Shut up." Muttered Neon, but we both couldn't keep off the grins that were creeping up our faces. Suddenly, I saw a figure right in front of the truck. "HOLY CRAP!" I screamed, and hit the brakes hard. I heard a lot of thumping and falling over in the back- whoops. "What the hell was that?" gasped Neon, jumping out of the car. I realised the figure was a girl, a killjoy. "Get in the truck, you bloody almost killed yourself!" I could hear Neon say, and the girl followed her back to the truck. We all went into the back, where everyone was groaning and examining their bruises. "What happened?" asked Poison, helping Missile Kid to her feet. "She jumped in front of the freakin' truck!" I shook my head, at the killjoy's suicidal attempt. "Who are you, anyway?" The girl was dressed in an orange jacket, dark jeans and orange high-tops, her hair a spiky black bob. It looked very striking. "The name's Acid Rose." She had an English accent; she looked at us, her face slightly grim. "And I need your help."
Jet decided we needed to keep moving and drove while Acid explained everything. "I'm from London," she said. "I have always been an expert at technology, that's my talent. I use it well, hacking into Bl/Ind's computer system. That's how I found out you were here, Bl/Ind recorded your break- in." There was a chorus of ohhhhs and I have to admit, I was impressed her skill. I had always imagined that they had a tight security system- this girl was good. Acid Rose smiled and continued. "I have discovered that Bl/Ind is planning to spread across the world, starting in Europe. They're setting up a headquarters in the heart of London as we speak. They'll sell the drug to everyone- you could say Bl/Ind is going to take over the world." There was a long, dramatic pause and I clenched my fists. Before I could punch anything, Poison slammed his fist into the wall of the truck. "We need to do something." He snarled. "No duh!" I muttered, and Acid nodded. "You're the best group of killjoys I know. You'll help me, won't you?" I jumped to my feet. "Oh, hell yeah! This time, we are bringing them down!"
I rummaged around in my backpack and found my flask of coffee, I handed it around for everyone to take a gulp. "So, what's the plan?" asked Kobra, eager to start straight away. "On the way to Ghoul's motel, there is a very small building with a lot of Bl/Ind's plans in it. There is usually nobody there- I've been there once before to find the password and now I can get into Bl/Ind's database from any good computer." Said Acid and I grinned at Neon's baffled face. I doubt anyone knew what she was talking about. "So, the plan is simple. We break in, and the most important thing we need to find is the blueprints for the new Bl/Ind building in London. That way we know how to sneak into the new headquarters without getting noticed. While we're there, grab anything else you might think will be useful." We all nodded, it sounded easy enough. "So once we have Fun Ghoul back, we're going to England?" asked Neon, I could see the excitement on her face. Acid Rose beamed, confirming the question and I couldn't help groaning. What happened to the holiday?
Did you like it? Yes, in several chapters we will be off to Britain and Ghoul is back! Wahey! As always, please review because I really want to know what you think! x
