So so sorry for the short chapter last time!! I've been busy this week and
haven't had too much time to update!! So here's another chapter for you!!
...up in flames...
**
Mort got out of the car cautiously, and made his way to the car. Lydia stood behind Ken's car craning her neck to see into it. Ken's forehead was leaning against the steering wheel. Mort tapped on the glass and then jumped back as Ken's head shot up. Ken opened the car door, and started laughing.
"You scared the shit out of me," Mort said with a relieved smile. Lyddie let out a breath she had been holding in and walked up and stood next to Mort.
"This week must have caught up with me," Ken said still laughing a little, "I was only out ten minutes I swear! Already checked the place out, I was just waiting for you to get back to tell you."
"A lot could happen in 10 minutes," Lyddie thought to herself. But she didn't need to say it aloud because all three of them went inside the house to check.
A few minutes later Ken came down the stairs. "Nope no monsters here," he said.
"Did you check under my bed?" Mort asked while holding a paddle.
"What are you going to do with that sailor?" (he's no sailor he's a PIRATE!!) Ken asked while taking it away. "I'll be back in the morning. By the way did anyone else see this guy?"
Mort thought for a moment, "Yeah. Tom Greenleaf. He saw us out on Lakewood Drive."
"Know where I can find him?" asked Ken halfway out the door.
Mort named a various location and time. Ken agreed and started heading out the door.
Lyddie sat on the couch. She looked around the small house. She rested her head on the back of the couch and closed her eyes. She was tired. Mort came back into the room and watched as Ken drove away. He suddenly turned around and yelled hello.
"What?" Lyddie asked in confusion and a little annoyed as she opened her eyes.
"I think someone's upstairs," Mort whispered.
Lyddie's eyes grew large and she got off the couch and behind Mort as she peered up into the upstairs hallway. He gabbed a fire poker.
"Stay behind me," Mort commanded. Lyddie obeyed as they slowly walked up the stairs. She looked over the railing suspiciously. Mort began opening closet doors and peering inside. Nothing. They slowly crept into his room. Lyddie took the liberty of checking the hallway while Mort checked his closet.
Suddenly Lydia heard him turn around abruptly. She gasped thinking he saw someone. Mort looked over at her and motioned towards his bathroom. She crept into his room and stood next to him.
"I know you're in there shit head!" Mort yelled, "I'll give you to the count of 5 to come out, and if you don't...I'll come in swinging. 1...2...3...AHHHHH!!!"
Lyddie let out a huge gasp and covered her eyes. There was a loud crash and then she heard Mort say, "I just killed my bathroom mirror." He then smashed the shower door with another loud crash. "And my shower door." Lydia felt relieved that no one was there. There was, however, a mouse in the shower.
"I'll clean it up," Lyddie offered.
"Ok. I'll go let him outside," Mort replied eyeing the small black mouse.
Lyddie grabbed a garbage bag from under the sink and picked up the pieces of glass. 5 minutes later she heard Mort come in coughing. She left the bag where it was and went to see what was wrong with him.
"Are you ok Dad?" She said with a worried look in her eye.
"S-s-shooter," Mort sputtered while holding his throat.
"Ohmigosh, Dad this is serious. You need to call the police!" Lyddie said as she came running down the stairs, as Mort slumped down onto the couch.
Lyddie came and sat beside him. "He threatened to kill your mother if anyone else found out about him." Mort said standing up abruptly. "Do you want that to happen?" He was raising his voice again
"What? No!" Lyida said a little startled.
"We're going to take care of this," Mort said walking over and unplugging the phone. "And in the morning I'm going to have to call your mother and see about getting a magazine from her. But for now, let's get an uninterrupted night's sleep."
The Next Day
Mort sat on the couch next to Lydia eyeing the phone and eating Doritos. Lydia was eating a piece of toast. "I don't wanna call her," Mort said with a hint of whining in his voice. He hesitated for a few more seconds and the re-plugged the phone. As soon as he returned to the phone it started ringing. Lyddie looked from him to the phone and then back again.
Mort picked it up. "Hello?"
"Mort? Mort are you there?" Amy yelled into the phone.
"Yes I'm here Amy. Just lower your voice a little," Mort held the phone off his ear for a moment. "What's wrong?"
"Somebody burned our house down Mort!" Amy replied.

I'm hard at work on the next chapter. How will Lyddie react when she sees her mother again...with Ted. And of course, coming up soon, how will it all end? I'm thinking about making a sequel to this but I'm not sure about a plot. If you have any ideas feel free to IM me or leave it in a review or e- mail me!!
And to my reviewers:
Punkfoot- Thank you and here you go!
Dawnie-7-I agree I think it's a pretty good part of the movie!
Jack-Sparrow-Lover- Thanks again! And I said the same thing when I saw the movie!!
