Chapter 2
April 17th 2003 Destination unknown
At the unknown destination of The Fozz HQ, the remaining members of the Fozz sit and wait for any more news from the Super-Hero council on Chris. A message appears on the video screen as they all dash towards it hoping that it's from the council releasing Chris.
"Get out of the way!" KK shouts pushing the others to one side as he calls the message up onto the screen "It's Steph again guys" He says as the others walk over too "Hi Steph, are you alright?" KK asks sitting down in his chair and putting his feet up on the panel.
"Is there any news from Chris yet?" she asks hoping there would be some news about him by now. As far as she and the rest of The Fozz knew they'd been holding him in their custody for two days now and they had heard nothing more of their decision of what to do with him.
"No we're sorry, we haven't heard anything yet. We were hoping that they would be calling now but there hasn't been a word yet" KK says looking at the others who had all been sitting around doing nothing for the past couple of days. "Have you thought about how you're going to explain his absence?" KK asks transferring the videophone image to his hand held and walking back into the lounge areas where the others are.
"No not yet, I'm too worried about him right now to think of anything like that" she says giving KK a weak smile. KK nods his head, they were all worried about him and surely they should of heard something by now "I've got to go now, I've got loads of work to do. Keep myself busy and all that"
"Yeah I understand, if I can get this lot looking at least a little bit normal we'll come and see you" KK says pushing Dukes feet off the coffee table and nodding him to go and tell the others to get ready to go and see her. Apart from Steph no one knew about the identities of The Fozz and Chris so they were the only ones she could talk to about it and what was going on.
"Ok thanks KK see you soon" Steph says before disconnecting. KK drops the hand held onto the couch and goes to find the others.
"How is she?" Duke asks pulling on his shoes and grabbing his jacket "Is she half as worried as we are about him" he says looking over to the door as the others walk in.
"Yeah she looks really worried, great thing about video phones you can always tell what someone really feels by their face" KK says walking towards the lift "I said we'd go and see her today and see how she is, we could try and get hold of the council while we're at it too if they aren't going to contact us"
"You weren't this bothered when Sport got chucked out of Fozzy" Kidd laughs walking out of his room dressed in civilian clothes. They head down by the lift and into the back room of an old abandoned comic book shop. KK turns the light switch around till it's upside down making the lift door disappear and be replaced by a plain red brick wall.
"Well that was Sport, Chris is our best friend not just a member of Fozzy" KK says walking through the shop to the front door. "Besides there is no Fozzy or Fozz without him as far as I concerned" he sighs locking the door behind them.
"Yeah KK's right, he's just as much of this thing as we are" Duke mumbles adjusting his sunglasses on his face and looking up at the sky "Do we go shout at the council now, or after we've collected Steph? They might not even let us in if we take her with us, you know they don't agree with her knowing about us as it is"
"She'd wanna be there too I guess, we'll just have to smuggle her in someway" Kidd laughs walking along the edge of the curb balancing himself as he walks "Or we could just wait till they contact us"
"And what if they never do, we cant just leave him there" KK says grabbing Kidd's arm stopping him falling in the road "We'll go and see them when we've got Steph. I wouldn't be on the wrong side of her when she's angry so maybe she can help us, as far as we know they've just got him at their headquarters, they would have told us if they'd done anything different right?"
"I doubt it, stupid bunch of stuck-up assho.." Duke starts clenching his fists, KK thumps him in the arm making him shut up "Sorry but it's true, they've given us nothing but trouble since we got here. First with the name, then with the costumes, then with Steph and now with the stupid cow!" Duke yells receiving strange looks from passers by. He smiles at them and gives them a little wave making them look at him and shake their heads "God don't people have any manners anymore" he growls. "Where are we meeting Steph? Usual place?"
"Yeah I suppose, I forgot to ask really we'll just go in and see if she's there" KK says pulling open the door and walking inside over to the corner booth and sitting down with the others. "We'll wait a while and if she doesn't turn up I'll ring her"
"Not that you know how to the use a phone or anything" Kidd says putting his chin in the palm of his hand and drawing pictures in the spilt sugar on the table.
"Hey" Steph says walking over to them and sitting down next to Duke.
"Hiya, how are you?" Duke says shuffling over a little bit giving her some more room to move up on the seat "I'll go get us some drinks or something" he says squeezing past and walking up to the counter, this was going to take a while to plan what they were going to do when they went to see the co
