Hey its chapter 5! Imagine that...^_^
Ana yawned and scratched her head as she walked into her living room. She stopped suddenly when she saw Double D and Selina, peeking out the window.
"Um..what're you guys doing?" Ana questioned.
Double D and Selina jumped, startled by the sudden noise. Double D turned to look at Ana, slightly laughing, embarrassed.
"Well, Ana, you see..." Double D started, but he lost his train of thought quickly. Ana was wearing loose baby blue pajama pants and a little baby blue tank top, allowing just a bit of cleavage to show.
Selina looked at her brother before snapping her fingers in front of his face, pulling him out of his daze. Ana blushed lightly.
"We were just admiring the sky, Ana." Selina smiled.
Double D shook his head, still not completely out of his daze, before saying, "Selina, there is no need to lie to Ana. We saw the black van outside the house this morning."
Ana crossed her arms. "Ok, why is there a black van stalking us?" she said with a little sass. Double D sighed and continued looking out the window, not answering. He then felt his hair stand on end.
"It's gone."
"What?" Selina asked, turning to the window.
"It's gone." Double D repeated.
"How could it be gone? We only turned away for a second!" Selina exclaimed, stumped.
Ana felt herself get goose bumps on her arms. Something creepy was going on. Eddy walked into the room, hands in his pockets.
"Ana why aren't you dressed? No one wants to see you like that." Eddy shot out. Ana gave Eddy a "shut up" look before walking off to her room. Eddy smirked at his sister before walking up to Double D.
"Hey sock head, you promised me you'd come with me to the library today, remember?" Eddy stated.
Double D smiled, "Yes, Eddy, I remember. You wanted me to help you find a book on money management..although I'm not sure why..."
"What're you talkin' about? When we're rich, we'll need to know how much money we can spend on jawbreakers per day!"
"When one of your scams actually works...but Eddy, we don't even have money for the bus."
Selina coughed and both Eddy and Double D turned to her. She pulled out a wallet from her back pocket and opened it to reveal quite a lot of money. Eddy began to drool.
"Would this be enough?" Selina asked.
"A good way to manage your money is to first open a bank account. Then proceed to collect interest and build on your En..Enter...How do you say that, Double D?"
"Enterprise, Eddy."
"Uh, yeah, that's what I said."
Selina, Double D, and Eddy were walking down the street from the library, which is a few blocks away from the candy store. Eddy was engrossed in his money management book while Double D helped him pronounce practically every other word, to the amusement of Selina.
"Selina, I want to thank you again for loaning us the money for the bus and to pay Eddy's library fee." Double D said to his sister.
"No problem. I just don't understand how a guy like Eddy could owe the library in over twenty dollars in debts."
"Hey, I read! About money and...money....and..."
"Money." Double D finished.
Eddy grinned and remarked, "That's all that there is to read about in this world, Double D."
Selina smiled. Eddy was so full of it. And she loved it. She began to walk closer to Eddy and put her hand on the book as they all walked. Eddy noticed and looked up at her. He smiled slightly before turning back to his book. Double D noticed this as well.
He also noticed that an odd feeling had been coming over him for the past few minutes. His pace slowed as he tried to put his finger on what was wrong. Selina and Eddy stopped walking.
"Eddward? Eddward, what is it?" Selina questioned.
"Pffft. Double D's becomin' a nutcase. He's always acting weird nowadays."
Double D felt his hand began to shake. Something was not right. Not right at all. He quickly turned around only to see a black van following them. As Double D's eyes grew wide, the van started to pick up speed.
"Run." Double D uttered.
Eddy raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"RUN!" shouted Double D as he grabbed Selina's wrist and broke into a sprint. Eddy dropped his book and ran as the van began to give chase.
"DOUBLE D! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Eddy hollered at his friend as the three teens ran as fast as they could, taking different roads and alleys, trying to lose the van.
"There's no time to explain, Eddy! Just don't stop, whatever you do!"
"Eddward, it's still behind us! What'll we do!?" Selina exclaimed.
The three turned down an alley only to find a dead end.
"Curses." Double D uttered. The van could be heard screeching around a corner as it grew near.
"Double D, think of something! You're the genius!" Eddy shouted as he held his hands on his head.
Selina looked around the alley. "LOOK!" she said, pointing to a fire escape on the wall. "We can escape on the roof!"
The van was drawing closer.
Eddy helped Selina up onto the ladder, which was suspended 7 feet off the ground. As Selina lent a hand down to pull Eddy up, the black van turned into the alley, tires screeching.
"DOUBLE D!" Eddy shouted, worried. The van had pulled over to the side, scrapping against the wall the fire escape was on. If Double D didn't move, he would be crushed.
Eddy put a hand out to Double D.
"GRAB MY HAND DOUBLE D! HURRY!" Eddy screamed. The van was only feet away. Double D jumped as high as he could and clasped onto Eddy's hand. Selina, Eddy, and Double D quickly crawled up the ladder as the van flew under them and smashed into the dead end.
"This way!" Double D directed as he took the lead up the ladder. Soon all three were running on the roof of the building.
"Double D, where are we going?!" Eddy exclaimed as they ran.
"I'm not sure, Eddy, just far away from this area!" Double D replied.
"But Eddward, the van got totaled! The guy driving it is probably out cold!" Selina cried.
Double D said nothing as he looked straight forward. They were nearing the edge of the roof. Squinting his eyes, Double D charged forward.
"EDDWARD! WHAT'RE YOU DOING?!" Selina shouted.
Double D leapt off the edge of the roof and sailed over to the next building, a distance of 10 feet.
"Holy shit." Eddy uttered, shocked. Selina and Eddy stopped at the edge. Double D called out to them from the other building.
"There's a fire escape on the side of your building! Climb down and we'll get back to the cul-de-sac!"
As Eddy and Selina climbed down, Double D heard the sound of a damaged engine attempting to start.
"Lord no..." He thought.
He found a gutter on the corner of his building and slid down as Eddy and Selina watched from the ground. Eddy was dumbfounded.
"But.he could never do that before.." He said.
Selina ran her fingers through her hair as she said, "Whenever Eddward gets worked up, he does some pretty incredible stuff. Especially when he feels threatened."
Eddy eyed Selina. Who was this guy she was talking about? This isn't the Double D he knew at all.
As Double D landed on the ground, the sound of tires screeching backwards filled the air.
"No way!" Selina exclaimed.
"Not again.." Double D cried.
Eddy looked around and pointed to the ground.
"There's an escape!" He said, pointing.
Selina and Double D turned to see a manhole leading to the sewer. Double D cringed. Eddy removed the lid from the manhole and helped Selina inside. He then leapt in and pulled on Double D's leg.
"Com'n, sock head! Get over your cleanliness for a second before you get yourself killed!"
Double D glanced down to the street before jumping into the sewer and pulling the lid back in its place. The van sped into the alley, only to find it empty. It slowed to a stop, then backed out of the alley and drove away.
At the cul-de-sac Ed and Ana were drawing with chalk on the sidewalk. Well, Ana was drawing while Ed was eating the chalk.
"There he is!" Ed and Ana suddenly heard. The two looked up to see Sarah storming towards them, Jimmy following behind timidly.
"You stole our chalk, Ed!" Sarah accused, her face bright red with anger.
"No I didn't Sarah! It was right here on the grey ground! The kiwi people of Saint Heidelberg told me that chalk was the powdered food of life and they said you wouldn't mind! Oh, please don't tell mom, Sarah!"
Ana shook her head as Sarah gave her older brother a beat down before taking back her chalk. Jimmy stuck his tongue out at the two before scurrying off after Sarah.
"Brat." Ana muttered.
Suddenly the manhole in the middle of the street began to move.
"Ooo! Ooo! I've seen this in a movie, from 'Attack of the Putrid Fish Dwellers from Planet Sardine, the made-for-TV-movie!' This is the part when the fish dwellers come out of the sewers and use us for gill cleaners!" Ed exclaimed, excited.
Ana began to draw close to the manhole, curious. The lid then flew off, startling Ana. Out from the sewer came Eddy, followed by Selina, then Double D. They all smelled horrible.
Ed gasped. "I KNOW FISH DWELLERS! WIGGY!" he cried in glee, clapping his hands together.
Ana held her nose. "Why in the world were you guys in the sewer?!" she questioned.
Eddy wringed out the sewer water from his shirt while saying, "We were chased by some psycho in a black van."
Ana's eyes grew wide. "You mean the one that keeps popping up out of no where?"
"We don't know. But Eddward here pulled off some incredible stunts, leading us the hell outta...hey, where is Eddward?" Selina said.
They looked to see Double D quickly walking to his house, hands clenched at his side. Slamming the door behind him, Double D went up to his bedroom.
"Double D?" Ana quietly said, concerned. She, Ed, Eddy, and Selina then went up to Double D's house and into his room, wondering what he was doing.
They found him with his suitcase open on his bed. He was pulling out clothes from his drawers and stuffing them into the suitcase, not even folding them. He hadn't even changed his clothes into clean ones. Not at all like Double D.
"What're you doin' Double D?" Eddy questioned.
"Getting the fuck out of here." Double D growled.
That caught everyone WAY off guard. No one had ever heard Double D curse before. The others felt awkward and didn't know what to say next. It was Ana who bravely stepped up to Double D.
"Double D..why are you leaving?" she asked nervously.
Double D slammed his suitcase shut and turned to her.
"Because I was almost killed today! Not only that, but my sister and one of my best friend's lives were in danger too! And it's all because of ME!" he shouted, a vein popping out on the side of his forehead.
"What?!" everyone exclaimed.
"You.you know who the person in the van is, Eddward?" Selina questioned.
Double D sat on his bed and put his head in his hands.
"The police and government, no doubt."
Now everyone was seriously confused.
"Why would the cops be after you, Double D? You're a boy scout!" Eddy exclaimed.
Double D lightly chuckled and looked at Eddy.
"You really don't know me, do you?" he asked. Eddy didn't know what to say.
"Double D, this must be a misunderstanding. Why would the police want you?" Ana questioned, worried
Double D stood up and turned to his friends.
"Because...because I'm..I'm a murderer."
Everyone gasped in horror.
"W-what?" Eddy stuttered.
Ana yawned and scratched her head as she walked into her living room. She stopped suddenly when she saw Double D and Selina, peeking out the window.
"Um..what're you guys doing?" Ana questioned.
Double D and Selina jumped, startled by the sudden noise. Double D turned to look at Ana, slightly laughing, embarrassed.
