Lydecker Plural
Part Ten
When I was down there for about two minutes and thirty I tried to swim up to the top. I was unsuccessful. I tried all forms of swimming even the dog paddle, but nothing worked I would struggle up till I reached a certain point then I would be pulled under.
I kept a cool mind and tried not to panic. I looked around for something I could use. Down at the bottom of the water I saw two semi large rocks. I dove deep down picked them up and began to smash the two together as hard as I could. I hoped that the noise they made would signal Ella to drop the rope.
SPLASH!
I moved out of the way barely avoiding a clank to the head. Desperately I grabbed the rope and began to pull myself up. When I reached the layer that was hard to go past I shut my eyes and pulled using all my strength.
At last I broke the surface. Nice hot air hit my skin. Yes, I know it was no more that sixty degrees out and it was in the middle of the night but, still, the river had some flour (Glacier fragments) in it making the air outside a lot warmer than it really was.
"That better be all I have to show you." I called up to her. I climbed out and when I was on the shore I jumped up beside Ella.
"Sorry, but no I want you to do something recklessly scary. You can pick it out your self."
"Right now the only recklessly scary thing I can think about would be to wait here for Lydecker to cage me up and make me into a mindless drone. And there's no way in he** I'm waiting for him to come and reprogram me." I said. My voice was like ice, and I think I scared her a little.
"Okay, fine."
"How long was I under there total?" I asked lightening my tone up a bit.
"Four minutes and thirty." She paused, "so, who is Matt and Zack, really?"
"Matt is X5-427, Zack is X5-559 and I am X5-792. Zack is the CO of the other thirteen escapees."
"Okay I want you to read something for me from here. Over on that huge cedar tree it says something. What does it say?"
I enhanced my vision so I could see that far. The cedar tree was about fifty feet away and was in the shadows. Engraved in a heart was "For a little love call 1-900-MIX-A-LOT. And kick them nasty thoughts."
I started to giggle. "For a little love call 1-900-MIX-A-LOT. And kick them nasty thoughts?" I repeated to Ella but this time I just had to add on, "Oh my god Beckey; look at her butt it is so big. Uh, she looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends, but who understands those rap guys?"
Ella looked at me with a look that clearly said, "what". "Do you know all the pre-pulse songs?"
"Hell yeah!"
All she did was roll her eyes. I wandered over to the Ninja's trailer and went through all the clothes I had in there. I came up with my black robbery suit. Oh well. It was either that, my camouflage outfit, or my wet clothes.
"Let's go. We have a big day tomorrow." I said putting my shoes and socks on. Ella nodded, threw her helmet on her head and straddled the seat. I just got on my ride and I lead the way up to our homes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day seemed to take forever; and it didn't help one bit when I couldn't sleep that night (due to the feline in me). So when I drug myself into work the next day I was constantly nervous and always looking over my back.
"Geneva?"
"Oh...yes sir?" I jerked back into reality.
"Are you okay; you've been a little jumpy today?" Mr. Bare asked worriedly.
"Yes. Something bad happened a little bit ago..."
"Do you want to cut the day short and then fly over to your mom's funeral?"
"Can I?"
"Sure. Go ahead; I'll have Don fill in for you."
"I bet he'd love me for that now. Thank you." I ran over to my crotch- rocket, got on and as I drove away I yelled, "Bye!" in the wind.
I switched the little red button and go home as soon as possible. When I got there I quickly found Camouflage and got her in her cat carrier, then hooked my trailer onto my bike and went to Ella's house. Ella was already waiting for me. Matt drove up after a minute of us waiting.
"Let's go." Matt tossed me a walkie-talkie.
"Yeah." I switched on and clipped it to the collar of jacket.
Matt pulled of and Ella and I followed him. Right as we were going down Lincoln hill we saw about ten Hummers turn down my street.
"That was Manticore back there. Did you see them?" I spoke into the radios.
"Yeah. They came over the Cascade Mountains yesterday-or so my source says." Matt replied.
We drove past old car dealerships and a place that used to sell beauty bark. We followed that road for quite a while, but maybe twenty minutes later we turned left onto highway twenty. After five minutes we reached a very large bridge parallel to an identical one about twenty feet away from the one we were going on.
The two bridges that were side by side had been named something that fit them perfectly. The name they had was 'The Twin Bridges'. It was kind of funny; I had absolutely no idea why I found it so amusing but I did. The land we were entering was on an Indian reservation. I was planning on camping at a camp ground around Deception Pass. The campground was really close to Cranberry Lake.
Once we found our way to the giant green bridge that allowed us to go from one part of Fidalgo Island to an other we saw quiet a bit of people out looking out at the Puget Sound. Most of the people looked as though they were quite financially comfortable. I just couldn't resist the temptation.
"Jump! I dare you!" I yelled as I zoomed by the bewildered people.
Ella began to bark and yell; "Will you be my friend! I need more friends!" I laughed and continued to yell stuff out at the innocent people.
When we left the bridge I was slightly disappointed; I really liked to yell at the public. Yet I still put that behind my back and continued to cruse on leading Matt and Ella.
About half an hour after the wonderful interrogation of the people I turned and lowed down because we were finally at our destination. I pulled over into a small ditch and let the engine idle.
"Is this where we're staying?" Ella asked looking disgustedly at the trees and grass.
"Quit being a city girl. When we were little all we had was the fence, the labs, and the forest so close but yet too far to grasp."
Ella didn't say anything after that.
"Let's try to get a spot by the bathrooms, but somewhere close to the lake." I said starting to ride off, but some rich camper pulled out in front of me. I stopped immediately. "Hey! Watch out there buddy!" I yelled.
The driver stuck his head out of the window. He was about twenty-seven maybe more. He had brownish blonde hair that was spiked up; he had blue eyes. "Sorry, I didn't see you; are you all right?" He yelled back.
"Yes, but I'd appreciate it if we talked a little less and moved a little more!"
"Right. Sorry!" he yelled and moved it out of our way.
I moved out and started to look around the campgrounds. About half way through, I hear Matt on the radio.
"I found one. It's good sized and it's close to both the bathrooms and the lake."
"What's the camp site number?" I asked into the walkie-talkie.
"Thirty-four."
"Kay," then to Ella "Common, he found one."
Matt had decided it would be best if we were to split up; Ella stayed with me. Ella and I were around campsite number fifty, so we had to find our way around. When we got there, Matt was all ready unloading the back of his car.
Matt's description of the campsite was very accurate. It was large enough to fit four tents in it, plus all our vehicles. The crappers were across the road, and the lake wasn't even three minutes away.
Matt, Ella and I began to put up out tents in silence. Camouflage meowed for me when I was done with the first tent. I walked over to the trailer, got her carrier and put her in the tent I was going to use. Quickly I let her free and closed the tent door at the same time.
"Sorry, girl but you like to get around." I said to my poor little baby.
I began to work on the second tent I brought. This one was way bigger. I couldn't even reach the top standing on the ground. This one was for my ride; where no one could see it, thus no one would steel it or touch it for that matter.
When we were done getting everything set up a camper pulled up in the neighboring campsite. It was that bonehead who almost hit me. It really figures, doesn't it?
"Hi, look at that. It looks like we're going to be neighbors for a while. Doesn't it?"
"Yes. It does." I smiled sweetly but I didn't mean it.
Bonehead decided to leave it at that and went into the camper his Dodge was carrying. I rolled my eyes.
"Let's go swimming. I hope you brought a swimming suite." Ella said.
"No problem here I knew we were going to go get wet." I said.
"Let's change and meet each other down there."
Matt and I nodded and headed into our tents. I heard Ella get into her tent too.
Now came the hard part; deciding on what swimming suite to wear. I had a blue, two piece with ocean waves on it or I had a butt ugly florescent green one piece. I didn't really enjoy being that exposed but there was no way in he** I was going to be caught alive in that horrible green. So I decided on the two piece.
Before I got out of the tent I heard Matt get out from changing and run down to the lake. I put my hand on the zipper ready to get out but paused, grabbed a towel, rapped it around me, and stepped out.
Almost at the same time Ella came out in a black one piece. "Why'd I have to bring the retarded suite?" I muttered.
Awwww, it aint that bad." Ella tried to comfort me. She wasn't that successful.
"You don't have your swimming suite ridding up you're a$$ crack!" I hissed. I went back into my tent and grabbed a pair if jean shorts. I put them on and (with the towel still tightly around me) ran down to the lake.
The lake was empty except for the occasional duck and Matt. Fifteen feet away from me I saw a huge hanging fifteen feet above the water. I ran over to it, once I was on it I didn't stop running until I ditched my towel and fell straight into the water.
"OOOH YEAH!" I yelled as I dropped down into the lake.
SPLASH!
I sank down a couple feet before I surfaced. The water was really warm but when I stuck my head out into the warm air the water suddenly became freezing cold. When I looked down at the bottom of the lake I could see hundreds of good-sized rocks.
I swam out to the dock that was floating in the middle. Ella managed to get out with me. I jumped up out of the water and landed on the dock. Ella just climbed up the latter.
"Can't you jump up?" I asked putting on a false innocent look.
"Sorry, but I'm not a super human prototype."
"Ha. Ha."
Ella pushed me off the dock but because I knew she was going to do that I just swam under the dock. Right under the dock was a little tiny bit of air; there was only about seven inches of it. Swiftly I got enough air in my lungs and went back under. I grabbed hold of the chain that held the dock in one place and began to try and make the dock rock back and forth.
I vaguely heard Ella yell, "Geneva!" then there was a small splash. When I saw her sinking down to the bottom I just barely held in the laughs; her hair was floating around her head giving her the appearance of a pompom head.
Ella saw me and began to swim to the surface. I followed her and once she saw my head pop up silently beside her she just shook her head.
"You bitch."
I laughed. "I try. Honestly, I do." I smiled brightly.
Matt, Ella and I all played a few games of water polo and we dunked each other a few times before we called it a day and headed to shore. I had to go and get my towel off the rock I dove off and told Matt and Ella to go ahead of me. They agreed to do so willingly.
By this time it had turned dark and if I didn't have hyped up eyes I would have needed a flashlight. But before I could get too far I heard Bonehead talking about a friend of his wanting to fix this broken world. His friend would be creating something-called Eyes Only in about three years....
