Chapter 10

Not the best timing

Blu's hotel room was at the top of Dreamworld (the hotel/ casino) because that's where the most expensive rooms are. Blu got paid a lot for being a private detective, but it's not like he always did his job. To be honest, he mostly goofs around. Blu struggled to twist the doorknob since he and Jewel have know drunken about 3 quarters of the big bottle of Scotch. Blu still held The bottle of Scotch in his left-wing. It had been a long trip up the stairs, A trip of falling and laughing. Blu and Jewel didn't know why they were laughing so much, Probably because of how much they were falling. What happened to just one drink. Blu finally twisted the doorknob to his room, causing the door to open slowly. The cold air inside his room Blew into his face, making him close his eyes for a few seconds. He stumbled into the room with his eyes closed. Causing him to trip over his talons and fall on the floor of his room. The thud of Blu hitting the floor of his room sent a shake throughout his room. Jewel giggled and quickly followed behind Blu, But she didn't fall on the ground like Blu.

"Get up," Jewel told Blu, trying to contain her laughs within her. Blu laughed with his faced pushed up against the floor. He pushed himself off the ground with the bottle of Scotch still In his wing. He got back up on his talons in a few seconds. He dropped the scotch on the floor as it made a clunk sound. He stumbled over to his bed and fell onto it.

"It's so soft," Blu told himself and Jewel. Blu's body sunk into the bed. Jewel fell onto the bed, landing next to him.

"You're right," Jewel said to him. Blu crawled up further on the bed so instead of laying on it, he could just sit on it. Blu's face became more serious.

"Jewel, Today has been a pretty shitty day," Blu told Jewel truthfully, even though he was drunk. Jewel also sat up on the bed, She turned her head to face Blu.

"Why is that," Jewel said with a confused look. Blu let out a sigh. He turned his head towards Jewel. He stared into Jewel's turquoise eyes.

"My partner died today, And I said I would find who would kill him. But look at what I'm doing now. I'm just fucking around with this awesome Bird I met." Jewels face became more confused as he said this.

"Partner," Jewel said confusingly. Blu then remembered that he hadn't told Jewel that he was a private detective, And he also remembered that he left his Fedora hat on the bar. He turned his face away from Jewel.

"Dammit that was my favorite hat," Blu muttered to himself.

"What," Jewel said to Blu, She knew Blu said something but she didn't hear him clearly.

"I am a private detective, My partner got shot and Murdered." A surprised look spread across Jewels face.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry to hear that," Jewel said to Blu. Blu sighed and turned his head back towards Jewel. "But I thought that the point of Being a private detective was not to tell anyone." Blu opened his beak as if he was about to say something, but nothing came out of his beak. He turned away from Jewel ashamed about what he just told her.

"Clever bird," Blu thought to himself. Jewel tapped Blu's shoulder which caused him to turn his head back over to her.

"I use to be a private detective," Jewels told Blu honestly. Blu's eyes widened in surprise. He did not expect that.

"WHAT?" Jewel smiled at the reaction that Blu had given her.

"Yep, but they fired me because I'm a girl and they thought that I was too weak for the Job, My boss retired and we then got a new boss. Turns out he doesn't like women. So then I got into singing, but I don't really make that much money." Blu was surprised about What Jewel had just told him.

"Well I think that your voice is amazing," Blu told Jewel honestly. Jewels smile deepened.

"Really," She asked Blu, seeing if he was being serious.

"Really," Blu responded To Jewels question. Jewel scooched closer to Blu. She stared into his eyes, Blu did the same. Blu's beak approached Jewels. Jewel didn't seem to mine. But Blu stopped When he heard a slight bouncing and ticking sound. Blu turned his face away from Jewels. This voice sounded familiar. He examined the floor of his room, looking for anything that could have made the sound. And suddenly he found something. Something that made his heart jump into his throat. It was a small odd-shaped green object that ticked silently. Blu feared for his and Jewels life.

"MotherFUCKER," Blu screamed at the top of his lungs. He wrapped his wings around Jewel tightly, making sure that he wouldn't let her go. He threw himself off the side of the bed with Jewel in his wings. They landed on the opposite side of the bed where the Green object wasn't. Blu'd bed was pretty close to the wall so when he landed on the other side of it, He and Jewel didn't have much space. Blu was able to fit his nightstand in the small area though, with his alarm clock on it.

"What's going on," Jewel asked Blu, But her question then got answered. And not by Blu. A huge explosion made the floor that they were on in the hotel shake. The sound echoed throughout the night. The explosion Blu up the other half of Blu room, sending chips of wood flying everywhere. Blu's ears filled with a loud high pitched ringing sound. He covered his ears with his wings, trying to make the sound stop. Blu thought his eardrums might explode. Blu looked at Jewel but his vision was blurry. He saw her beak move so he knew that Jewel was trying to talk to him, but he couldn't hear her over the ringing sound. Suddenly the sound from the real world began to fill his ears again.

"Blu what the hell was that," Jewel screamed at Blu, waiting for his response.

"Goddamn grenade," Blu shouted in response. Blu tried to think of what to do in this situation. He looked at the nightstand and an idea appeared in his head, Well it wasn't really an idea. "Jewel grab the gun in my nightstand," Blu commanded her.

"You have a gun in your nightstand," Jewel said surprisingly "Why do you keep a gun in there." Blu rolled his eyes at Jewel.

"Jewel can you please ask me more questions, my name is actually the Fortune teller," Blu told Jewel sarcastically "Just grab the gun in the nightstand!" Jewel sighed and did as she was told. She struggled to turn around to the nightstand do to the space that she had. When she finally did turn, she pulled open the small drawer of the nightstand. She reached her wing inside the drawer, not looking as she tried to find the gun inside it. Suddenly she rubbed her wing over something. She grabbed it and lifted it up a little, Jewel could tell this was the weight of a gun. She pulled it out of the drawer and looked at it. She then looked at Blu with an angry look

"Why do you keep a 44 Magnum in your nightstand!" Blu snatched the gun out of Jewel's hand, surprising her a little bit.

"For situations like this." Blu peered his head over the bed a little to see if anyone was there. There was a figure standing in the doorway, Blu thought it looked like a vulture. And he was pointing a gun right at Blu's head. Blu quickly moved his head back behind the bed right as the Vulture shot at him. "Shit," Blu said to himself. Blu was going to try and take blind shots. he put his wings on his gun with massive firepower, preparing to shoot. He put his wings over the bed but kept his body protected by the bed. He shot a couple of bullets out of the Magnum in the direction of where he thought the doorway was. But he quickly stopped when a bullet went through his wing, making him drop the gun beside Jewel. "Ah, fuck," Blu screamed to himself. He covered the gunshot wound with his other wing, it's not like it helped though. Blood gushed out of the gunshot wound, soaking his other wing and dripping on the floor.

"Oh my god Blu are you okay," Jewel asked Blu with a worried look on her. Blu turned to Jewel with an angry look on his face.

"Oh yea Jewel I'm completely fine, seeing my blood all over myself, I find that really satisfying," Blu said moved Blu's wing of his gunshot wound and put hers there to try and slow down the bleeding.

"Stop being a dickhead," Jewel told Blu. Jewel applied pressure on Blu's wound, trying to stop the bleeding from his wing. Blu inhaled sharply as Jewel did this. It hurt like hell. Jewel grabbed Blu's other wing and put it over hers. "Keep pressure on it," Jewel said, giving Blu helpful advice.

"Okay doctor Jewel," Blu joked with Jewel. Jewel slipped her wing out from under Blu's. Blu applied pressure as he was told. Jewel quickly picked up the gun and examined it. Even the gun had some blood splatters on it. She put her wings on the gun, preparing to shoot. But she was stopped by the voice of Blu asking her a question.

"You sure you know how to use that thing," Blu asked Jewel. Jewel forced a fake smile at Blu as he heard him say this.

"Shut up." Jewel quickly stepped up onto her talons and pointed her gun to the doorway, not really looking at all. She shot the Magnumin mere seconds and was startled by how much kickback there was. But to her surprise, she heard a male scream of a bird. She guessed that she had hit the bird that was trying to kill them or maybe just trying to kill Blu. Jewel gasped as she heard this scream. She heard footsteps running away from the door. She quickly followed the steps of the bird that she had injured. She did not want him to escape. She slipped out into the hallway but quickly stopped running when she looked down the hallway. There was a window at the end of the highway. She saw an open window at the end of the hallway with Blood over it. Jewel assumed that the bird had escaped through the window. And she really couldn't really do anything about. Jewel let out a defeated sigh as she realized that the bird escaped. She was going to rush back to Blu to help him with the bleeding but she heard a sudden sound, well she heard multiple sounds at the same time. quick steps worked there way up the stairs. These steps were loud so Jewel knew that whoever was coming up the stairs was in a hurry. She prepared for someone to slam open the door that separated this floor from the stairs. 2 cops slammed open the door and ran into the hallway. When he saw Jewel, The bird held up his gun, pointing it towards Jewel.

"Drop your weapon," the cop yelled at the female Spix Macaw. Jewel noticed that the 2 cops were Toucans. One was a female and one was a male. Jewels did as she was told. She released her grip from the weapon, causing it to drop from her wing and hit the floor. A clunking sound echoed throughout the hallway.

"Jewel what's going on," Blu said as he stumbled out of the doorway of his room "Well I mean I know what's going on but what happened." Blu tripped over his talons and fell towards Jewel. She caught Blu in her wings. "I think I am loosing to much blood," Blu mumbled to Jewel. The Toucan looked at the male Spix Macaw. He recognized this bird

Blu? Is that you." Blu heard his name being said from a familiar voice. Blu used Jewel as support for him to not fall to the floor. He turned his head toward where the voice came from.

"Rafael?"

As you can tell, Blu and Jewel aren't getting along as well as they did un the first part. Will Blu ever get out of his coma? Also sometimes I might accidentally mix up Jewel and Blu's name so sorry about that. If you have any questions or you are confused. Just PM me.
