Chapter 4
The Superhero Council HQ
"KK is gunna get us chucked out of here in a minute you know if he carries on going on like he is" Duke sighs watching as KK yells at the man at the front desk who keeps telling him that he cant tell them anymore information because it's highly classified.
"Do you think they'll let him out or at least let me see him?" Stephanie says not even noticing the strangely dressed and strange looking people walking past her. She'd been hanging around with the Fozz or Fozzy as they were known during their times when they were outside and not being superhero's for nearly three years and she had seen some strange things in that time and nothing seemed to shock her anymore.
"Well they should let us see him even if they wont let him go, technically he hasn't actually done anything that wrong. It was just an accident and they have no other reason to punish him, he could just get a fine or something and be let off so we can all go home" Kidd sighs flicking through a costume catalogue that he found in the waiting room "I'm sure he's missing you as much as you are him" Kidd laughs making Steph blush.
"Yeah I mean you guys have been together for ages, and that's not exactly easy. You know with him being a superhero and having to save the world all the time" Duke laughs leaning over to see what Kidd is looking at.
"Maybe it's not the superhero part that's the hard part, maybe it's the dodgy characters he hangs around with. Never seen a more suspicious bunch," Steph laughs poking her tongue out at them and taking the magazine from both of them and looking at it herself "Ohh you guys would look great in this"
"What the hell do you mean he's missing!" KK yells slamming his fist down on the front desk, the others walk over to him from where they were sitting waiting and lean against the counter too.
"It's like I said, we are doing everything we can to track his whereabouts" The man says glad of his desk between himself and KK La Flame who has been shouting at him since he told him of Chris's disappearance a few days earlier.
"If you were doing everything you can to track him..YOU WOULD HAVE FOUND HIM BY NOW!" KK shouts, grabbing the man round the collar and dragging him over the top of the desk and shoving him to the floor. Duke grabs KK's shoulder and pulls him away "He can't just vanish from a top security superhero council building!" Duke nudges KK as one of the chief council members appears at the door.
"I should have known it would be you making all the noise Mr. La Flame, perhaps you and your friends should step into my office and stop pestering my staff" The smartly dressed man says showing them the way, he glares at Stephanie as she walks passed him. "I assure you all we doing everything we can"
"Yeah so your mechanical monkey at your front desk said," Duke says sitting down in one of the chairs and crossing his arms "Chris didn't do anything wrong you know"
"We're well aware of what he did but maybe this is his way of telling us he doesn't take this seriously, as he took it upon himself to try and escape and run away from us" he says sitting down at his desk and flicking through Chris's file.
"If your saying he's a coward and escaped so not to get punished your wrong, he's not like that!" Stephanie shouts at him, he looks up at her and pushes his glasses down off his nose.
"I'm sorry to sound rude but you know nothing about him or his life. You will never understand him and his work so I suggest you stop trying to and leave this to us. I cant see why he'd ever want to get involved with you anyway when your kind give him and my other workers enough trouble as it is" He mutters glaring at Steph before going back to his work. "Not meaning to sound rude but you know nothing out him! You don't know what he's really like; you don't know him like we do! To you he's just one of your workers but to us he's our friend. You can't sit there judging her when you don't even know how happy she makes Chris! I suggest you get off your ass and start looking for him harder before we have to do it ourselves and trust me, you don't want us getting involved in this!" KK shouts snatching the pen from his hand "You understand?"
"I think that maybe you should all leave now," he says standing up from his desk and walking to the door, he opens it and gestures for them to leave. Duke moves KK towards the door and they leave the office and out of the building.
"Some stupid bunch of use that was" Kidd moans kicking his feet as they walk along the pavement "I knew those stupid idiots were up to something. I cant believe they didn't even bother telling us that he's missing, at least if we'd known we could have started trying to find him"
"Looks like that's exactly what we're going to have to do then if they aren't going to help us find Chris we'll find him ourselves" Duke says looking at the others "We'll find him ourselves wont we, your all in?"
"I'm in too, you're not doing anything without me. I'm going to help you find him" Steph says looking at Duke with a determined look on her face "I know him just as well as you lot do, I do live with him after all" Duke looks at KK who just shrugs his shoulders.
"Ok you can help to then" Duke says finally as they cross the street, they had to think of where to start looking for Chris. He could be anywhere by now..
