(A/n: Well here's another chapter. :) Hip-Hip-Hurray...alright, not gonna ramble. Go read it. Review if you want.)

Chapter 13 (It's Bruce)

For three straight days I locked myself in the lighthouse. The day 2-D, Murdoc and the Cyborg left I begged Bailey to help me find the lighthouse key. At first she refused and wanted to know why I wanted it but all I said was that I wanted to see what was up there, that did the trick though and we went on a search for it. Paul, my oh so favorite Clash member, caught us rifling through the draws in Murdoc's office and decided to help, not even bothering to ask what we were looking for. Piled under all the smutty magazines and random riff-raff we finally located the key. Bailey handed it over with reluctance and suspicion written all over her face but she soon brushed me wanting the key off and went back to doing whatever she normally did. I on the other hand ran down, well took the elevator, to mine and 2-D's room and packed a bag full of things to entertain myself, snack foods, smokes, a sleeping bag, a flash light, a few pairs of clean clothes, my pipe and my handy-dandy bag of weed. After getting packed I ran to the lighthouse at top speed making sure Bailey didn't catch me before I got there and locked myself in.

Now here I am, hot boxing the lighthouse for gods sake, waiting for 2-D to get back. Every day Bailey would come and bang on the door and scream for me to get out, that if I didn't come out she'd kick my ass but I stayed firm and didn't comply to her demands...and threats.

(2-D's P.O.V)

I don't know what Murdoc had to do in California but every time he went into a building he'd make me wait in the car and wouldn't say what he was us to. This last time he went into what looked like a music studio but ran out 5 minutes later with a panicked look on his face. Cranking up the camero he slammed his foot on the gas causing smoke to formulate behind us as we drove away at top speed. Bullets zoomed by and nicked the back of the car, some even manged to fly through the back windshield and one got lodged in the cyborgs head. What looked like three giant bouncers ran after us but obviously couldn't catch up.

"Wot-Wot 'append? Wot's goin' on?" I asked shrilly, terrified of the sudden on-slaught of bullets. Murodc glanced in the rear view mirror with a worried look but tried to brush it off with a grunt and a glare at my part. "Jus' takin' ca'e of some business. You best mind YOU' business unless you wan' me to drop you off with those sods." He replied snidly, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel.

Sighing I popped in the demo for 'Stylo' and looked out the window at the un-naturally dry California desert. Thank god I didn't live here but then again it'd be better than that Plastic prison. Glancing at my rear view mirror I spotted the camera crew not to far behind, filming everything and anything. If they wanted a show I'd give them one, leaning out the window I sang along to the track pushing the mask Murdoc gave me to wear further atop my head.

We passed a police cruiser parked on the side of the road, fat cop leaning against it eating a donut. Just as I thought, the camera crew filmed him as he tried sliding over the hood and failed terribly. Redeeming himself he quickly, well as fast as a fat guy can, got up and jumped in his car, turning on the siren and chasing after us at top speed. Looking behind us I shake my head and look down. Murdoc, obviously not realizing the cop wanted him to pull over waved to the guy to go around us but that just led to the cyborg leaning half way out the window, shooting at the cop. Murdoc tried grabbing it and pulling it back in the car but that only led to it blasting the windshield out of the cruiser and the cop to go swierving off the road, smashing into a billboard.

Looking over at me Murdoc gave me a ''whoopsie-daisey'' look. I looked out the window again and spotted the cruiser, flipped upside down and smoking. I knew this wasn't a game anymore. The sky seemed to erupt into darkness as we rode faster and faster. The camera crew was remarcably still behind us but that wasn't the only thing. A red el camino passed the crew and drove right behind. The cyborg was zapping and spraying oil everywhere so Murdoc tapped me and pointed to it. I looked back at but couldn't find anything to do so I slumped back down in my seat. WHY did I have to come along? What if I don't come back? What'll happen to Sky?

I didn't have much time to ponder these thoughts though because the el camino rode so close to the ass of our car I thought we were gonna crash. "I's Bruce!" I say in shock, pointing behind us. Murdoc goes wide eyed as Bruce pulls up beside us, gun cocked. "Roll up tha window!" I scream wildly, ducking down further. Murdoc roledl up the window as fast as possible but swirved the car as bullets went flying by.

The back window completely shatters as Bruce drives behind us again and starts to ram the car. Murdoc begins to curse involinarily and stomp on the gas in an effort to go faster.

It's to late to stop though and we go flying over a cliff. In a ditch effort to save our skins Murdoc pulls a nob under his seat and the car shifts into the submarine we rode here in. I clutch my chest and breath heavily, crawling into a ball on the floor. Murdoc smirks.

"Looks like we'll be 'eadin' 'ome early."

(Sky's P.O.V)

I sigh and stand up, holding onto the railing and looking out to the sea. Bailey had been yelling at me for the past hour to come out but I wouldn't budge.

An unfamiliar sound greats my ear but I'm pretty sure thats the sound of two body's slamming against a door and said door falling off it's hinges. Wide eyed I look for a place to hide but thats the bad part about lighthouses, there's no where for you to hide. Bailey along with a pretty miffed Mick come stomping up the stairs, Paul in tow with a painful look on his face. "Sorry love." He says, shrugging his shoulders.

"I've 'ad enough of you hidin' away in this damn lighthouse!" Bailey screeched, "Murdoc jus' contacted us abou' thirty minutes ago an said to go meet 'im while you' in 'ere...wastin' ou' time!" Grabbing my collar she yanked me down the stairs, Paul and Mick following. Mick having a regretful looking expression.

"Wot's 'e want us ta meet 'im fo'? I fought 'e wosn't commin' back fo' anotha' couple of days." I choke at as she yanks on my collar harder. " 'ell if I know. Said somethin' abou' the Boogieman or some bullshit like tha'." She replies, letting me go as we approach the dock. About a dozen submarines were parked in the water, with just about as many people waiting at the dock. "So? 'e's a rotta. Why a'e we 'elpin 'im?" I mutter as we approach everyone. "Wot'd you say?" She growls, her normal anger back. The crowd looks over as we approach and I don't reply to her question in fear of being punched. She jams her fist in my gut anyways and all the air in my lungs seems to dissapear. Gruntting I bend over and clutch my sides. She makes a noise that could only be distinguished as a laugh and walks towards the crowd who I now see to be most of the collaborators.

"Come on people le's getta move on!" She yells at the crowd. Some of them give her annoyed looks but others just brush it off. Regaining my breath I walk towards the crowd and spot Lou Reed. "Lou!" I call to him. He looks my way and gives me a tired worn out smile. "Hey girly, how's it going?" He asks. I glance over at Bailey and then look back at him and he seems to see where I'm going. "I see."

"'ow 'ave you been? 'aven't seen you in a while." I say as we walk toward the subs. He shrugs and replies, "Can't complain. Ever since that Damon Albarn bloke contacted Murdoc I've been given free range. No where to really go though so I prefer to stay locked up in my room." I nod in understanding. Bailey was still screeching at the dispersing crowd so I took this chance to ask Lou if I could ride with him. " Oi Lou. You fink I could ride wif ya?" He looks up at me and gives me another worn out smile. "Sure. There's only one seat though."

"Tha's alrigh'. I'll sit in the floo'." I reply and smile back.

Getting settled in the sub we set off with our legion to go help Murdoc with whatever trouble he's gotten himself into this time.
