"Ok so we know that there was no obvious root of escape so however he got out he wouldn't have done it on his own and the only other way is to walk straight out of there and I don't see how that's very likely" KK starts sitting back in his seat and playing with his beard.
"Well you never know, with mechanical monkeys on the desk like that anyone could just walk in and out of that place, it may not be very likely but it's not impossible. So else do we know?" Duke says pulling his baseball cap down over his eyes and laying out along the couch.
"We know that Chris wouldn't leave on his own, he's not the sort to run away from the authorities, you all saw how sorry he was and that he would take the punishment. I guess he could have always been super-hero napped, we didn't think of that now did we" Kidd laughs.
"Superhero napped, you think someone has Chris!" Stephanie chokes walking in from the kitchen just hearing the last part of their conversation, KK punches Kidd lightly in the arm and shakes his head.
""Don't start saying things like that and getting her even more worried than she already is, it is a possibility but we've got to think rationally about this and not get worked up and start coming up with all these stupid ideas about where he could be, ok so If you were Chris and you were in trouble where would you go?" KK suggests hoping that would make them think of some ideas.
"Ok well let me get into character first," Duke, says jumping up off the coach. He runs to the door "Introduce me to the fans ladies!" Duke yells standing with his back to the others and his arms out at either side making them laugh, "Tell them who I am!"
"Ok, ok introducing, weighing in at 6000lbs. From Toronto Canada, Duke La Rue!" Kidd shouts pretending to be a ring announcer making everyone laugh even harder "The king of the assclowns, the man who just can't sing or play guitar!"
"Alright Kidd, I think we got the picture thank you very much!" Duke laughs walking back over to them and sitting down "Ok but all jokes aside, if I was Chris and I was in trouble I'd go to Steph, or at least try to. I'm not trying to start worrying anyone but we know Chris wouldn't leave on his own accord, the only way he'd leave that place was if he was taken and forced to"
"How can you lot even think of laughing about this?" Stephanie says sitting down on the couch and bringing her knees up to her body.
"Because we know that Chris will be fine and that he can look after himself, if we don't laugh we're going to go all crazy and start turning the world upside down looking for him..Literally. He's going to be fine and we're going to find him and sort all this out..Chris does that you know" Kidd says smiling at her.
"Does what?" Steph asks trying to figure out what exactly it was that she's doing that Chris does. "He hugs his knees like that, you've been living with him way too long" Kidd laughs "He doesn't do it so much anymore though, it was one of the first things he saw someone do when we got here to he thought that everyone did it and it's like a little habit of his. It just so happens that Rock music and wrestling were two of the other things we saw first"
"He doesn't do it as much anymore cos he now has something better to hug than his knees" Duke laughs winking at Stephanie.
"How do you think Chris would feel if he knew you were hitting on his girlfriend while he was away?" KK laughs getting up and walking over to collect the message that just came up on the screen.
"I am not hitting on his girlfriend I am merely paying her a compliment by saying I would rather hug her than my knees any day, c'mon gimme a break I'm sure there are much worse things I could have said than that if I really wanted to hit on her" Duke grins "Who's it from KK?"
"It's just a voice message from the council," KK says flicking it on and up onto the screen and calling it up so they can listen to it.
"We've got an update for you on Chris, we had a thou rah search of the office and cells and found that the cell Chris was in had been opened using force. We took a look at our surveillance camera and have sent you a copy of what we found. At exactly 9.15pm on the 15th April the time froze for 20minutes. We think this could have been the time that the escape took place. There is one problem with this though, Chris would not have been able to carry out this on his own and would need some outside help. That is why we believe that you all had something to do with it and our officers are on their way round now," The voice says before cutting off. The others sit in silence looking at each other.
"They think we had something to do with this!" KK yells, "I knew they were stupid but this is insane!" The knock on the door makes everyone jump "Steph you had nothing to do with this we cant let them get you, there is another way out of here. Go out onto the roof and take the fire escape down and get out of this area as fast as you can, we need at least one person outside of here that can help us"
"But you didn't do anything, you have nothing to do with this" Steph cries grabbing KK's arm "We'll all leave, they wont get any of us"
"We'll get in more trouble and it'll look like we did have something to do with this, they know we're here because we picked up their message. Just go, get out of here" Duke says pushing her towards the stairs to the roof "We'll be fine, just get out of here"
"Just all of you be careful" Steph says hugging Duke tightly before quickly going out onto the roof.
