Prison for the Insane
Chapter 4: Identity
Author's Note: ^_^ Whee... I'm having fun with this story... People think it's interesting... Meh, I need some distractions anyway.

After the scream, came the sound of a launching rocket. Dib and Suri ran to the source of the noises: Lia's room.
Suri lifted her arm up, to shield her eyes from the burning light of boosters. In the bright light, she could make out a purple voot-cruiser. Two shadows, one with red eyes and one with purple eyes, stared at her from behind the tinted window. They held a struggling form between them.
She sucked in her breath softly as the voot-cruiser took off, crashing through the ceiling. She ducked beneath her arm, clenching her eyes shut.
[...no, not now...]
"Dib!" she ordered, "Go north on the main street!"
"What? Why?"
"Go get the police!" She clenched her fists. "Now!"
Dib nodded and burst out the front door. Suri sighed; he'd forgotten to dress fully -- he was missing his shirt... The police wouldn't believe him and take him into custody for being a psychopath...
"I'm so sorry, Dibby..." she murmured, "I'll explain everything soon..."
***
A young child, with dark black hair and sky blue eyes, opened the door; he bore a striking resemblence to the man she was searching for. With innocence, he stared up at Suri.
Suri was unphased by his cuteness, and scowled down upon him, "Where's Zim?"
Zim strolled in from the kitchen calmly. He grinned wickedly at Suri, "Well, hello there... I see you've already met Zi..."
Suri glowered at him, eyes flashing red. Zim beckoned for her to come in with two gloved fingers.
"Enough with the funny stuff, Zim... Where is my little girl, damnit!?" Suri snapped.
"Now, now... No need for hostilities..."
Four of the robotic gnome lawn ornaments surrounded her. They clenched her wrists and sent a powerful shock through her, rendering her unconscious.
"After all... You're among allies."
***
She awoke to a tongue probing her mouth. She opened her eyes and saw Zim's blue eyes peering at her.
In anger, she screeched and tried to kick out at him, but her feet were trapped. Pull as she might, she couldn't free any of her limbs.
"Something wrong?" Zim teased.
"Free me right now, Zim! NOW!" Suri demanded.
"Nope."
"Why not?"
"You're my top suspect."
"For what?"
"Gir is missing." Despite the insanity of the tiny robot, he'd grown terribly fond of it.
"I didn't take your damn Sir!"
"You have reason to! You hate me, for lusting after you and terrifying your human husband."
"I want my little girl back! You know something about it!"
"Why would I know anything about it? I've been too busy looking for Gir," Zim asked calmly, fingering the collar of her shirt.
"You still talk to the Tallest! The Tallest took my little girl."
Zim shrugged. "You know very well, they don't like you, Suri. You've betrayed the Irken army, falling in love with the disgusting enemy and then taking one of your delivered lackeys as your 'child'."
Suri flushed and looked down at her feet, covered with scuffed sneakers, which were strapped to the wall, at least two feet above the floor. Zim's own feet, clad in sleek, military-shine boots that matched his gloves and hair, were planted firmly on a floating disc.
"Of course you know that..." He placed a finger on her chin and tilted her face up to his. "So... now that you've stopped screaming at me... Let's get your disguise off."
He turned to Zi, and ordered, "Press the red button, lackey."
Zi bowed his head and turned to the immense main computer. His hands traced the keyboard and found a red button with a diameter of about 5 inches. For a brief moment, the trio's features fuzzed out. After a brief silence, the lack of human features revealed them all to be Irken soldiers.
