Chapter 10- Hoagie's Kidnapping
Hello, Hello! So glad that all of you reviewed! Ok, then... Um, on with the fic I guess! This has got to be the shortest chapter of all! WARNING: Very short chapter ahead... so I'd like to make up time with dancing! Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep!
Rated for violence, cussing, and kissing scenes...
Disclaimer: Um... I don't own crap...? There! All done!
The two kids were outside, sitting in the grass, hand-in-hand, staring at the orange and pinkish sky.
Keiko leaned her head on Wally. He sort of jumped but slightly smiled. He couldn't help but feel as if this were Kuki herself. She and her were so alike. He placed his hand on her head and smiled warmly.
"Wally, you really are good to me..." Keiko had said. "Why do you like me so much? Why so quickly too?"
"I-I dunno, something about ya makes me remember all my good memories of... people loving me and stuff..."
"Hm..." she replied softly, "I'm glad you feel that way...but, it's only been a couple of days..."
"I know... But ya spark something in my heart..."
It had been quiet afterwards. But in the distance Keiko heard something. A soft shattering.
"What was that?" she said looking up.
"What is what?" Wally looked around too.
"I heard something... like glass breaking..."
"Must've been the neighbors breaking a cup or something... Come and relax..."
"No, no, it was much too loud for a cup."
She stood up now. Wally looked up to her and then followed her actions. Keiko was staring at the tree house. Following her gaze, Wally looked up to where she was looking. It was of Hoagie's part of the tree house.
"Something's wrong up there; I have to check it out..."
"Well, err, then I'm coming too, Keiko..."
She nodded to him and ran up to the tree. Going through the back way, they were silent as a mouse. Voices were now heard, but soon it stopped. Now all they could hear was the creaks of their own feet... and someone else's.
Wally opened his mouth to whisper, "What do you think—" but Keiko's hand covered his mouth.
"Shh!" They stopped moving. "I hear something... a--a scream!"
She started running towards the screaming, Wally following her. They soon reached a dead end with a window at the end wall. Quickly, they saw the sight of Hoagie's hand disappear through the window.
"Numbuh 2!" she yelled down at Hoagie and jumped down to the grassy lawn, where the kidnapper was, landing on him. Wally landed on his butt behind her. She started hitting the man. "You stupid... son of a—ah!"
She was thrown to the wall. A bloody lip was shown and Wally looked to her and growled with disgust. He swiftly turned his head at the man.
"No body ever messes with my girl!" He threw a large punch at the silhouetted figure.
The man fell but immediately got back up. Hoagie, unconscious, was still laid by his feet. The man picked him, with slight struggle, but turned to run away. Keiko had gotten up, not noticed, and ran towards the kidnapper.
"No! Let go of him!" Keiko yelled at the man, tackling him. She got off and started to drag Hoagie away. The man threw a punch at her once he got up, leaving a bloody nose on her face. She took a few steps back by aftershock and snarled but then threw a punch back.
Hoagie, who was just waking up, had to quickly figure out what was going on. He weakly reached into his pocket and pulled out something. It was a small wooden box, with an antenna and as Hoagie slowly flipped opened the lid to the box, he whispered, "Time to go unlethal..." As he then pressed the red button in the middle.
A faint buzz was heard in Wally's ear while he was on the man's back. And then they all felt stomping and the buzzing was getting louder. All Keiko could focus on was what was heading their way.
It came clearer and clearer. Hoagie slightly smiled to himself and grew unconscious on the ground again. Wally had gaped. He hadn't seen it since Numbuh 3 had gone!
"No..." he said in a hoarse whisper. "It's back..."
Keiko's expression was much different though. It was of joy. Exactly what she needed. She grinned mischievously as she stared at the swift mechanical creature.
"Hippy-hop..."
That's me
