Supboyyyyy93: LMAO, true! Actually, I think I made it clear where it was all this time, just go through the previous chapter again. ;) As for the DNA, we'll just have to see… ;)
This chapter and the next one are based on the episode 'Computer Creep Much?'
I only own my OC's!
Lily's POV
"Tell me you're joking." "I'm deadly serious. Even Bryony agrees with me." I let out a groan at Uncle's words. "Remind me again, what exactly do you two want?!" I asked with hands on my table in the living room. "We never see your salary from that part-time job at the café." Uncle Angus frowned.
I groaned once again in annoyance and started looking through pockets of my jeans in hopes of finding some money, but there was none. Fuck, fuck and FUCK! "It's because I've already spent it." I lied. When it came to espionage, WOOHP covered our absence from school, and there were some other advantages… But being paid was not one of them. That was why Mother and Uncle never knew about many of my absences from school. And I was still able to finish second year with good grades!
But, both of them found it suspicious that I never had cash when they asked for it. So now they wanted to see money. "If you don't bring some money you've earned by tomorrow, you'll stop working at that café." Uncle Angus said simply and walked out of the living room.
I let out a loud groan in annoyance. And what would happen if Uncle found out I wasn't working at the café?! I would like to see his expression if he knew that I worked in a world of espionage. But, I could only dream of that happening. I mean, from what I've been told, Jerry threatened the girls not to tell anyone unless they wanted to be sent to Siberia! And the last thing I wanted was getting shipped there.
No. I just had to earn some money, bring it to Uncle tomorrow, he would show it to Mother, and then I'd quit that job I took to earn cash. Simple enough. Except that… I had no fucking idea where to work! "Holy craaap….." I sung sarcastically throughout the now empty house. Uncle was going to work by now, and Mother was still in Europe.
Suddenly, my X-Powder was ringing, so I quickly opened it. "Yes?" I asked. "Lily, want to come here?" Clover asked. I sighed. "I would, except that right now I'm in a huge problem." I said simply. "What happened?" Sam asked. "Remember that cover-up story of me working at a café?" I asked slowly and they nodded.
"Well, Uncle and Mother now want to see some salary. If not, I'm done for. Which is why I'm now looking for some job." I explained. That was when Sam and Clover looked at me in realization. "Why didn't you say so?!" Clover asked. "Alex's in desperate need of some money too, so we can get you both a good job." She then smirked. "Yes, please!" I exclaimed without thinking. I just needed some fucking money, no matter what kind of a job it was!
"It's half past two?" Alex asked me to make sure. "Yup." I responded with an eye roll. "Only a few more hours of humiliation." Now why was I saying that? I'll tell you why. I was also going to tell you why I would kill Clover as soon as I got my hands on her.
Because, right now, Alex and I were standing in the middle of the mall, dressed up as chickens. Yup…. With a chicken suit and yellow- red striped socks. Both of us were holding a plate with chicken on it while I was holding ketchup as a condiment.
And, I wanted to kill myself because I said 'no matter what kind of a job'. This was humiliating! The employer looked alright, but this job and costumes weren't! I swear to God…. Alex and I looked like total lunatics here. "This is humiliating…" I groaned in disbelief. "Look on the bright side. At least you're younger than me." Alex said with a bored face. "By two months." I pointed out. "That's still something! I feel so embarrassed, being the older one and doing this!"
"Maybe. But… At least we're in this crap together!" I grinned because we shared same pain. But our goal was one thing. Money…. "Money, money, money…" I started humming to myself along with Alex. That way we made humiliating less of a pain if that was possible. "Free samples of Captain Cluck's chicken drumsticks!" Alex offered the plate to some guys who were passing by.
But they just laughed it off and walked past her. I then tried to talk to two girls. "Free samples!" I offered them with a grin. "With some ketchup!" I poured it on the chicken. But, the girls laughed and walked away as well. I let out a groan and looked down in disbelief. How were we supposed to earn any money if people kept laughing at us?!
"Any luck?" Alex asked while walking towards me. I shook my head. "No. You?" She shook her head as well and looked down. "So, how are our two chickens?" Clover asked with her hand on Alex's shoulder while Sam had a hand on mine. "You guys are so not helping!" Alex exclaimed. "I see nothing funny about this." I glared at the two girls who were still smiling.
"Look out Sam, Lily might peck at us!" Clover walked away with a grin. "Clover, do I have a permission to kill you?" I asked slowly. "No!" She responded with that grin still on her face. "I'll do that anyway!" I exclaimed and was about to run to her but Sam caught me by my tail of the costume and stopped me. "Angry chicken on the loose." Clover said jokingly while laughing along with Sam, but again, I didn't find it funny at all. So, I sent the girls a glare.
Alex, on the other hand, took one of the drumsticks. "Have you even tried one of those things?!" She asked and took a bit of one. I took one to taste it as well, and I could see Alex barely swallowed hers. "They taste like…" She started in disgust, and I knew why. The taste was fucking awful! If anyone actually ate this thing, God save them…
"Revolting!" I commented once I finally swallowed mine and Alex nodded in agreement. This didn't even taste like chicken. It tasted like dry meat, one people usually used as leftovers for dogs… Uncle Angus knew how to make the best chicken I've ever tasted, and I wanted to eat it so badly at this moment… "For fuck's sake…" I trailed off in disbelief with a face palm.
That was when we could hear a voice behind us. "Alex, Lily!" I yelped in surprise just as Alex and I turned around to see our employer Mister Cluck. And he was looking at us disapprovingly… Oh great. The last thing I needed at the moment was getting fired on my first day. But, now that I looked at it, getting fired didn't sound so bad…. But I needed that money!
"I'm not paying you two to gossip with your friends," He started. "Or swear," He looked at me angrily at that part and I rubbed the back of my head a bit nervously. "You're here to give away poultry!" "Yes, sir!" Alex and I chorused at the order. "Good, now cluck like a chicken." The man told us. "Cluck?" Alex said simply. "What the fuck does he think we are? Chicken?" I whispered to her, but unfortunately, the man heard me because he was close to us.
He glared at me. "I said, no swearing!" He shouted. "Girl, cluck like a chicken about to lose her job!" My eyes widened at that statement. "Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck!" I started saying frantically in panic while mentally saying 'fuck' instead of cluck. "Good. Now you, Alex!" He looked at Alex who started clucking the same way as me, not wanting to lose her job either.
"Excellent. NOW BOTH OF YOU GET BACK TO WORK!" The man roared before striding away. Alex was about to run after him, obviously angry, but Sam caught her by the tail of her costume. "Easy, Alex!" She commented. "Yeah, don't let him ruffle your feathers!" Clover commented. "Not funny." I glared, but she led me to a nearby bench just as Sam did the same with Alex. But, the bench disappeared just as we tried to sit on it… And soon after, we fell down into a familiar tunnel.
All of us fell on the chair, feathers from Alex and my costumes falling all around us. Except that… Alex fell in the middle, and Clover and Sam on the ends of the chair. I fell on Alex and rolled on the floor. I then quickly shook my head to get back to my senses and looked up while feathers were still falling around us…
And I could see Jerry looking at us with a chicken drumstick in his right hand from a plate on his table. There were also some pictures sprawled across the table, but I wasn't focused on that now. I was looking at the man who was looking at his drumstick and Alex and my costumes back and forth. Well, I hoped at least his drumstick was better than the revolting ones the two of us had to give away… But, wherever you turned around, there was fucking chicken!
After looking at our costumes one more time, Jerry threw the drumstick away and stood up while I sat down on the chair in between Alex and Sam. "Hello ladies," The man then started as he got in front of the table. "And chickens?" He finished with a raised eyebrow.
Clover and Sam started laughing, but Alex and I looked at each other before looking at Jerry, not impressed at all by his joke. "Very funny. Was that your one joke of the year, Jerry?" Alex asked sarcastically. But the man was far from done apparently. "Girls, your mission would be to infiltrate an evil chicken farm!" He said with a finger on his chin.
And the girls burst in laughter by now, making me growl in anger while Alex was waving with her hands at them angrily and throwing feathers around in process (I ducked so she could do it). "Not funny!" I exclaimed. And it wasn't. What I was feeling at this moment was embarrassment and humiliation, and girls and Jerry laughing and making jokes at our expense was not helping.
"Just kidding." The man then stated with a laugh. "Actually, a number of people have been disappearing." He then pressed a button and we could see pictures of people who disappeared on the screen. "You mean, a number of nerdy people!" Clover scoffed. "Oh boy, a geek rescue!" Alex commented.
That was when I could see Sam doing something with her X-Powder. "Check it out! I've fropped their names in and it turns out they were all logged in at the same cyber café!" She pointed out. "Good work, Sam! You can start there." Jerry said before walking to his table just as the screen behind him lifted up and we started moving on the moving track.
"You will be equipped with Infrared Motion Detector Sunglasses," GLADIS gave them to Clover. "Faux Snakeskin Suction Cup Bottom Gogo Boots," Alex grabbed one to observe it. "An Electro Hairnet," GLADIS gave it to Sam. "Don't wear this in the shower; you'll get quite a shock." "Oh, I wonder why." I thought sarcastically at Jerry's words. "And Laser Lipstick," But GLADIS gave me something else instead.
I raised an eyebrow at what seemed to be a new gadget. "What is this?" I asked slowly. "A Magnetron Hair Curler." The machine responded. I took it carefully while observing the thing. "GLADIS, I thought we had a talk about this!" Jerry scolded the machine. "We did Jerry; I just decided to ignore you!" GLADIS responded, making the man sweat drop and me chuckle.
"It attracts any metal object to it as an electromagnet." The machine explained the gadget's function. "Also, one more thing." The man said, making the four of us look at each other in confusion. "You've been invited to an annual WOOHP picnic." He said, giving each of us an envelope. "I didn't know WOOHP had picnics." I muttered while opening my envelope. It was… In two days!
"Farewell, girls," The man started while walking away from us. "And good luck!" GLADIS finished before we fell through the floor.
That night, we walked into that cyber café dressed up as geeks. Anything was better than wearing that stupid chicken costume… "It's… Empty?" I asked in confusion while looking around the place. "I guess this place is too geeky even for geeks!" Clover commented. Which meant we wouldn't have to be disguised… So we quickly switched to our suits.
We then started looking around the place. However, everything seemed pretty normal… For an empty café in the middle of the night. "Did you find anything?!" Alex shouted to Clover while I was looking at some nearby computers. But, all of them were turned off.
"Not yet, I'm just poking around through some stuff!" She shouted back before… We could hear Clover screaming. Some sort of a robotic spider tried to jump on her face but Sam threw some nearby rope at it, catching the creature in process before pulling it towards her. She, Alex and I then jumped on the creature, trying not to let it escape. "That thing tried to jump on me! Rude much?!" Clover fumed.
But then, the creature managed to escape because we couldn't hold it anymore… And we were chasing the crazy thing. "Guys, I think I found it!" I could hear Alex shouting so we raced towards another row of computers. Sam threw her hairnet at the spider just as it was about to jump on Alex. Electricity of the hairnet shocked the spider, apparently killing it. I sighed in relief. I hated spiders!
"That will teach you to keep your tentacles to yourself!" Clover declared angrily just as Sam took the hairnet with the spider. "Jerry will want to take a look at this." She commented. "Lily, we've got to go back!" Alex suddenly told me. "Where?" I asked in confusion. "To the mall, our break lasts only an hour!" She told me.
Oh, NO…. I had to wear that stupid chicken costume again…
And here they go again… XD Until next time!
