THE TROIKA
Ruby of the Gods
"Quit it! Stop! Leave my magickal bone alone!"
Andrew looked around, in mock surprise. "Uh, are you talking to me?"
"No, moron, I'm talking to the other person that is currently using my magickal bone as a hammer!"
Jonathan quickly grabbed the bone and put it gently on a shelf of the bookcase that was standing next to him.
"You can't even reach to the top! You're a midget!" Andrew laughed. "Oh yeah, that's going keep me from taking it"
"Get a real hammer, dumb-ass." Jonathan rolled his eyes.
"You're just like Superman! He always thought he was better than everyone else. Especially Lex Luthor." Andrew shot out.
"Okay, first of all, are you saying you're Lex? Puh-lease. Lex was smart." stated Jonathan, who was now walking towards the computer.
"Hey!"
"And second. Superman never thought he was better than everyone else. You mixed up Superman with Voldemort."
"Fine so-"
"Which mean-"
"I got it-"
"And that wou-"
"YOU GUYS!"
Andrew and Jonathan both spun around at the voice behind them.
"He started it," they said at the same time.
"No I didn't! You started-" Jonathan began.
"Nu-uh!"
"GUYS! Guys...what's going on?" asked Warren.
"He stole my magic bone and used it as a hammer!" Jonathan glared at Andrew.
Warren chuckled. "So...that's what this is about?"
The nods came.
"People. We're not in Chicago to argue about Superman and Harry Potter"
Jonathan shifted from one foot to another. "Umm...why are we here?"
"To find the Ruber ab Deusis."
"Red of the Gods? Who has the blood of the Gods? Wouldn't that person actually be a God? Oh, my God! You're planning on killing a God!" Andrew exclaimed.
"Ruby of the Gods, oh smart one." corrected Jonathan.
"Shut up." Andrew rolled his eyes.
"Why don't you?!" retorted Jonathan.
Warren rolled his eyes and went to the drivers seat. He started the car and as they pulled out of the gas station, there was a loud "clunk" in he back and Andrew came up front and sat down at the passenger seat.
"What was that?" Warren inquired.
"So! Where are we going?"
Ignoring the fact that Andrew had just changed the subject, the driver got a map out and threw it to his passenger.
"Find uhm..Woodfield Mall." commanded Warren.
Andrew unfolded the map and began his search. "Woodfield...woodfield..." he muttered to himself.
"Found it!" he exclaimed. "It's in...Sam's Berg."
Warren look over with an annoyed expression and grabbed the map. "Schaumburg, dimwit."
* * *
When the got to the enormous shopping center, it was already 10:30.
"Perfect. It's closed." Warren parked in a shadow, and and took the keys out of the ignition.
"Oh, darn! Look at that the place is closed for the night! I guess we have to wait until tomorrow!" Andrew laughed nervously.
Suddenly Jonathan came up from the back of the van holding his magick bone.
"Alright, ow." Jonathan stated. "That hurt...and...you could have broken the bone. That was not cool."
Warren pushed Jonathan out of his way and proceeded to the back of the van.
"Sorry, but you got kinda annoying." responded Andrew.
Jonathan stared at him for a second then shrugged. "It's fine. So what are we doing?"
"Let's go." Came Warren's voice from the back.
"We're at Sam's Berg. This is a mall. Woody Fields, I think." Andrew informed Jonathan.
"My GOD!" Warren screamed. "Don't either of you two IDIOTS know how to read?! WOODFIELD! THE MALL IS CALLED WOODFIELD!
"Sorr-y your highness." Jonathan commented.
"Ugh." Warren complained. He glanced at Andrew, who was reading a map of the area around the mall. "What are you doing?"
"Looking at this map. Ooo! Look, there's a store called Galyans across the street! And It has rock climbing! And... It's not closed yet. Im going over there... you guys coming?"
"Yeah! Sounds cool!" Jonathan answered, "Like in that one Superman... when he was climbing the wall of the office building... and Lex's minion was chasing him..."
"Oh yeah! I remember!" Andrew exclaimed, as he started to walk over to the crosswalk leading to the strip mall called "Streets of Woodfield."
"You're not going! You wouldn't even get to the top if you did!" Warren called.
"Well, maybe the midget here wouldn't, I would."
"For the last time. I'm NOT a midget doofus!" Johnathan proclaimed.
"Guys... tommorow. Right now we need the Ruby of the Gods."
"It can wait until after I've climbed that wall." Andrew stood up for himself, which is something he didn't do very often, at least not to Warren.
"Ugh. Fine." Warren reluctantly agreed, and headed with his two "friends" to the athletic store across the street.
They walked into the brightly lit building. Andrew and Jonathan automatically headed over to the huge wall. Warren followed them after a minute.
While Jonathan walked next to Andrew, he ran into a guy with blonde hair.
"Hey, watch it." the guy said.
"Sorry." Jonathan dismissed it quickly. "So I was thinking, since dartj Vader is all with his helmet, then we could give him an axe, and then, will he still be the big bad? Or is he just going to-"
"I'm afraid tht your theory has already been done. By the way, my name is Richie and this is my friend, Mike. Anyway Darth Vadar, is the reigning terror in Star Wars, and no matter what weapon is given to him, he would still succeed." said the man that Jonathan had run into.
Andrew turned to face Richie. "How can you be sure?"
"Well-" Richie began.
"See! You just can't prove that he would win! I think that you're bluffing." Andrew quickly interupted.
"What? How can I be bluffing?" Richie asked, taken aback.
Mike cut in, "I don't think that they know what they're talking about"
"I believe you're right. We must be off now, nice meeting you...uh..." said Richie.
"I'm And-"
"He's Anders." Warren cut in, with a glare at Andrew. "And we must also be off."
Warren turned to Jonathan and Andrew and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
* * *
"Why do I always have to be the first one?" Jonathan mumbled to himself. He looked up when the rope jerked suddenly. "Hey!" He was being lowered in from the top into the middle of Woodfeild Marl. "Marvelous..."he thought with an unhappy look on his face. "If you guys let go..." he warned. "Yo, shortie, shut up unless you want to get caught!" Warren's voice came down from the ceiling. "Are you down yet? Hurry up! We don't have all night." "Ya, ya, I'm down," Jonathan said dropping to the floor.
"What do you see?" Andrew asked.
"OOO! Victoria Secret!"
"You sick minded man."
"Don't tell me you wouldn't be happy to see Victoria's Secrets."
"Shut up man! Just go!" Warren cried.
"Fine fine, wait where am I going?"
"Ugh! Here Andrew lower me down," Warren said handing Andrew the end of the rope.
"Are you sure? 'Cause I mean I'm not that strong and I might not be able to hold the rope without making you fall and..."
"Shut up and take the fricken rope!"
"OK! OK!" Andrew said snatching the rope out of Warren's hands.
Andrew lowered Warren down. When Warren reached the floor he looked to his right, no Jonathan. He looked to his left, no Jonathan. Then he looked behind him, and sure enough there was Jonathan, staring into the Victoria's Secrets store.
"Hey! Perv! Come here!" Warren hissed.
Jonathan turned around and walked back to Warren, "What?"
"We gotta go find Whitehall Jewelers."
"Hey! What about me eh?" Andrew's voice echoed down the halls.
"Just stay quite and stay put," Warren snapped.
Andrew nodded vigorusly and pulled the rope back up. Jonathan then pulled a white rabbit's foot out of his pocket.
"What's that?" Warren questioned.
"My lucky magickal rabbit's foot," Jonathan replied.
"What about you magickal bone?" Warren snickered.
"It's in my other pocket."
Warren rolled his eyes and continued walking so he could find a jewelery store.
"Hey!" Jonathan said suddenly, "How about Kay Jewelers? I mean they always have those red diamonds jewel thingy-ma-bobs on holidays and crap don't they? Oh! Oh! Like the commercial when their in the carriage and he gives the chick that ring and necklace,"
"You watch to much T.V. man."
Jonathan didn't reply, but just stayed in his daze.
"Snap out of it!" Warren cried.
"Huh?"
"Oh never mind, just follow me."
They ended up in front of Whitehall Jewelers about 5 minutes later.
"It's closed! Let's go home!"
"You nitwit, we want it to be closed."
"But.why? If it's closed, it's not open, which means we can't go inside!"
"I brought the master key."
Warren took out a normal looking key and put it into the lock, then pressed the button to the side of it. The gate opened.
Warren quickly walked over to the center case and got out some equipment, while Jonathan took an interest into the sparkling emeralds and sapphires.
After a mesmerizing 10 minutes staring into the case of beautiful topaz' Jonathon looked to where Warren was holding the Ruber ab Deuses.
"Whoa."
"Let's go."
Warren shoved his tools into the backpack he had on and then carefully took the gem and put it into the side pocket along with a huge wad of bubble wrap.
They looked around and dashed out of Whitehall.
"Uhm.Warren.where are we supposed to go?"
"We went the wrong way." Warren looked around. "Damnit, Jonathan, I was following you!"
"I want you, but I'm not givin' in this time! Goodbye to you." came a voice from a distance.
Warren rolled his eyes. "Come on, I know where Andrew is."
* * *
They looked up and sure enough, there was Andrew, singing and dancing to "Goodbye to You" on the glass of the ceiling.
"Yo, ballerina! Get us up!" Warren yelled up.
Andrew looked down and quickly got the rope ready and threw it down to them.
"Go." Said Warren.
Jonathon looked around one last time and was pulled up.
When the rope got thrown down a second time, Warren picked up his backpack and held onto the rope. When he was about 10 feet to the top, the backpack slipped off and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Suddenly, the lights turned on and an alarm came sounding. It was the sound of an alarm clock that you would enjoy to throw against your wall whenever you heard it- except 100 times louder.
Warren yelled, "I have to get the ruby! Put me down!"
"No, we have to go!" Jonathon and Andrew shouted over the loud noise.
"Forget the damn ruby!"
Warren jumped and landed on a tree, then climbed down, grabbed the backpack and without looking back, he jumped onto the once again lowered rope.
As soon as he reached the top, he got pulled onto the transparent roof and the trio ran off, sliding down the ladder and into the van. Even before the back door was closed they were already on the road.
* * *
"That...was close." Jonathan stated.
"Can I see the ruby?" inquired Andrew.
"Yeah, it's in the side pocket of my backpack." Warren shouted from the front over the music.
Andrew and Jonathan went over to the backpack that had been hastly thrown into the back when they had retreated and looked through the side pocket.
It was empty.
Jonathan searched through the whole backpack and all that was found were the tools that had been used to open the glass case.
"It's not here." Jonathan whispered to Andrew.
"Do you think.what if it fell out when it fell?" Andrew questioned the possibility.
Jonathon looked at the backpack again and back to his friend, then gave a nod.
Andrew cleared his throat. "Uhm.Warren! There seems to be a...slight problem."
"The ruby isn't there."
The brakes squealed and the van came to an abrupt stop.
"WHAT?!"
* * *
The security guards came to the spot that had triggered the mall alarm to activate. Everything was already calm, and there was nothing out of place. They came closer to the spot where a red light dimly shone from the ground. One man picked up the stone.
A couple more security guards ran over and reported that there had been a disturbance at Whitehall Jewelers. There was an empty case.
"We found the item that was in it."
