Chapter Ten: Grand Theft Auto
At 7:13 in the morning Namine started to wake up. Then she took a look at the clock next to the pull out bed she and Roxas was on.
"Oh crap!" she yelled as she jumped out of the bed and ran up the stairs as if a murderer was chasing her.
"Wha? What's happening?" said Roxas. He sat up, his hair was even more messy than usual and eyes open unevenly. Namine threw her backpack over the stair railing and it hit poor Roxas in the head. He fell off the bed in a crash.
"Let's go bitch! I'll take all of ya!" Roxas said as he stood upright and held out his fists. He thinking he was being attacked. When he finally realized where he was he looked around for Namine. He saw her running down the stairs.
"Hey, what's going on?" he asked.
"I'm gonna be late!" she said as she ran into the kitchen.
"Late for what?" Roxas was confused.
"School!" she said as he rushed for the door. But then she turned around and went back over to Roxas.
"Sorry Roxas but I have to go to school now. I'll be back at 2:00." She said then gave him a kiss on the check and ran out the door.
"Oh ok, bye…" that all happened quickly.
"So what am I gonna do till Namine gets back? Holy shit that's right! Today is my last day to get the munny! Crap what am I gonna do? There's no way I'm stealing from the one I love or the one's who took care of me when I needed them most. Crap what to do…"
Roxas eventually decided to go back to the usual spot to try and get some help. But he wanted to leave Namine a note so she knew he was out but would be back. He found a pencil and paper and was about to write but then he remembered something. 'what am I doing? I don't know how to write! Well, guess I'll just draw something.' So Roxas drew a stick figure leaving what looked like a house. Hoping she would know what it meant.
Then he left for his usual spot. When he got there, there wasn't anybody there.
"Hello?" Roxas said. And to his surprise someone answered.
"Roxas is that you buddy?" Axel said as he came out from around the corner.
"Axel! You gotta help me with something!" Roxas said in a rush. Then he told Axel the whole deal about what was going on.
"Well that's quite a story. Hmm, yeah of course I'll help you." Axel said.
"Really? How?" asked Roxas.
"You know the Twilight Town Central Bank right?" Axel said while rubbing his chin.
"No way Axel, we can't do that!" Roxas said.
"Ok, you can just go get the munny from that shelter or Namine…" Axel said to him.
"Fine, Bank it is. But how?" Roxas asked.
"Leave that to me, now come on let's go." Axel and Roxas left their usual spot for the Bank. 'Axel better know what it is he's doing.' Roxas thought to himself.

Axel had told Roxas his whole plan, how they were gonna get in, get the munny and get out. Roxas had the first part in this act so he went in.
When he got in there he went in the middle of the bank and dropped to the ground in a coughing seizure like fit and caused everyone to pay attention to him. The security guards and other people rushed over to him. He was a really good actor.
With everyone's attention on Roxas, Axel snuck in and took out the two security cameras on ether side of the Bank then went in the back door. There was a security guard back there, but he was sleeping. Axel slowly and quietly walked past him and into another room with a vault.
"Damn, it needs a key." Axel said as he noticed a keyhole in the vault.
He looked back at the sleeping guard to see a pair of keys hanging from his belt. He walked over to him and carefully pulled them off. Then they slipped from his hands and clanked on the ground. Axel looked up at the guard expecting him to wake up. But he just snored away…
Axel walked back to the vault and opened it. He walked in and took about twenty pounds of munny in a sack and swung it over his back. He closed the vault when he left. He was almost to the door when he heard someone behind him.
"Hey!" said the voice.
Axel stopped dead in his tracks and turned his head to see who said that. He saw the once sleeping guard standing and pointing right at him.
"What do you think your doing? How did you get back here?" yelled the guard.
Axel took off running out the door into the big room where Roxas was still putting on his little act. He was so good at playing dead that a woman who worked behind the counter was trying to give him CPR.
"Roxas! Run!" Axel yelled as he was running for the door. Roxas magically came back to life and ran after Axel.
"Stop them!" the guard yelled who was trying to catch Axel, but he was too fat to keep up. Someone hit the alarm as the two ran out the door.
"Shit, the police are gonna be here soon! We can't get away fast enough on foot! What are we going to do now Axel?" Roxas asked while trying to keep up with Axel.
"You're right, we need wheels!" he said.
"What!"
"Hey we already robbed a Bank, why not a car too?" said Axel.
They ran into a near by parking lot and saw a sporty looking red car. They needed something fast. Luckily the stupid owner left the doors unlocked.
"Yes!" Roxas said. He jumped in the drivers seat and Axel got in the passengers side.
"Wait, this wont work, let's switch." Axel said.
"Ok." Roxas said, but then the police came around the corner. But they weren't aware that Roxas and Axel were in a car yet.
"Shit! Never mind, just hot wire it!" said Axel.
"What?" Roxas had no idea what he was saying.
"Oh, let me do it!" Axel leaned over Roxas and turned on the car.
"Now drive!" Axel said.
"Ah, how?" Roxas was still confused.
"Put it into drive like this and press that to make it go and that one to make it stop! Now go!" Axel explained to him.
"Oh ok." He was about to go but then the police noticed them.
"Punch it!" yelled Axel.
"Ahh!" Roxas yelled.
The police tried to ram them, but that just got Roxas started. He flew down the street barley avoiding other cars. Both Axel and Roxas where screaming.
"Aaahhhhh!" they yelled as the car flew down the street. Axel was digging his nails into the dashboard in front of him and Roxas was gripping the wheel.
"Ahh! Son of a bitch!" Axel yelled as Roxas kept barley avoiding all the other cars and people on the street.
"No! Stop! Turn! Watch out! Go, go, go!" Axel kept yelling at Roxas.
"Axel, shut the fuck up! Stop back seat driving! If we crash, we crash! Ahh!" he almost hit a old lady in a wheel chair.
They eventually lost the cops. For now. So now Roxas drove normally. At least tried to. They were both breathing really hard.
"Thank God that's over!" Axel said as he began to relax.
"Hey wanna turn the radio on?" Roxas said.
"Yeah, sure." Axel began looking for a good station. "Ah, this is perfect."
Life's
like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the
next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes
you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside ev'ry
darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where brave
are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We
won't hesitate
To break down the garden gate
There's not much
time left today
Roxas and Axel started to sing along to it, they were so happy they got away from the police. While listening to this song Roxas was thinking of Namine, and Axel was surprisingly thinking about Larxene.
Life
is a highway Through all these
cities and all these towns Knock me down get back up
again
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my
way
I wanna drive it all night long
It's in my blood and it's all around
I
love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are
the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber
Pass to Vancouver's lights
You're in my blood
I'm not a lonely man
There's no
load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when
the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors
"Hey, just pull over here, we can get a room for the night then head back early tomorrow morning and give Xemnas his munny." Axel said, he was pointing to a motel.
"Yeah." So they got a room and had themselves a good rest. All of the excitement from today really took a toll on them.
There
was a distance between you and I Life is a
highway
A misunderstanding once
But
now we look it in the eye
There ain't no load that I
can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the
light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I
wanna drive it all night long
