Chapter 13- The Exchange
Hey to all! Um, It is a person that you're not sure if it's a girl or a boy, so that's why I call it "It". Oh and sorry it took long to update, I had writer's block... Seriously, it was bad... I couldn't think of anything, so I apologize if you find this chapter a bit bland... Oh, uh, and in the last chapter I said in the PS note that I didn't know that if Montgomery was Nigel's last name I meant middle name... Err, on with the fic!
Rated for violence, cussing, and kissing scenes...
Disclaimer: Uh... cheese? And eggs?
Wally had awoken to a loud noise. It was like a large boom although not really saying "Boom"! And of course, he had to check it out. Wally reached the main room where Nigel would usually tell of important missions and such. Other than Wally himself, Hoagie and Keiko were in the room.
"Hey guys, where is Numbuh 1?" he asked the two.
"We were just going to ask you that..." Keiko whispered.
"Uh guys, what's going on?" Hoagie asked. "First Numbuh 5 gets... gets... shot... and now Numbuh 1 has gone m-missing!"
"He has a point there, Numbuh 4..." Keiko said.
"Okay, okay, all we have to do is search for him..." Wally suggested. "Let's split up and search."
Wally went one way while the other two had looked the other. Apparently, none had found him. They all reached the main room once more.
"No sign of him anywhere!" Hoagie complained.
"No whining! I can't think!" Wally said.
Hoagie giggled. "You can actually think?" Keiko busted out with small giggles now.
"Shut up!"
Wait a tick...Wally thought. I
bet this has something to do with Numbuh 1's encounter with that...
that voice! Hm... he did say that he-I mean-she, the voice, was after
him!
"Hey, you two!" Wally said.
"Yeah?"
"I—"
The ground shook. Keiko fell into Wally's arms. Hoagie landed on his butt. Wally, with the weight of Keiko on him, had fallen on his face, Keiko on his back.
"Earthquake!"
"No, not an earthquake!" Wally yelled. "This is not an earthquake!"
I know that woman is here...Wally thought. I just have to get her out!
"Come out! I know you're there!" Wally yelled at nothing in particular. "Or I'll make you come out!"
Hoagie and Keiko, who were on the floor holding on to their dear lives, were looking at him in a weird way that they didn't notice the shadow creeping upon them.
"I know you're out there, lady! I know you have him!"
Hoagie's eyes grew as he gave a muffled scream. Keiko turned at the figure pulling Hoagie. She grabbed his ankles and bit them. Immediately it dropped Hoagie. Wally turned and grabbed one of the 2x4 technology weapons and turned to shoot at it.
Don't miss; don't miss, please, Wally! He thought rapidly.
The gumball shot right in the shoulder. A bit off, considering that Wally was aiming for his eye. The man fell and Hoagie crawled towards him trying to get atop of him and let him stay.
It was crushed on the ground and couldn't get up. The ground started to shake even more. The lights flashed on and off periodically. Wally fell to his bottom as It fell too. Eventually the trembling stopped and the room was empty except for Wally, Keiko, and It.
"Wait a minute!" Wally said. "Hoagie's missing!"
Keiko turned to her left, then right. No Hoagie. Keiko and Wally walked to each other and hugged.
"We gotta investigate..." He nodded to her.
"Yeah, and I know where to—" Wally said before he realized It was gone. "—start... Aw, crud!"
Keiko sighed. Another person was down...two people for that matter. Or four. Abby, Nigel, Hoagie, and It: their suspects and victims. They both looked around the empty room. Something was wrong, terribly wrong. They held hands before realizing they had no defenses except for the little 2x4 technology left. Of course, the KND have done amazing things with the small stuff, but this was near impossible. Two mustard guns, a sling-shot, and a simple gumball shooter were their last hopes. Of course, they could have asked other KND operatives' help but the others wouldn't believe them! What proof do they have besides a note and three missing children that could easily be hiding?
Wally stepped forth towards the door and called out, "Hey! We--we want our friends back! We're just kids! What do you want from us! What did we do? Did we harm who-ever-you-are in any way!"
Not expecting a reply, he turned to Keiko. But: "Actually you did... you harmed me and my husband! Listen up; I'll exchange your little friends for our expectant gift..."
"Ah don't know what you're talking about!" he replied.
"Oh, well, I guess your little friends (Ugh) will have to suffer... ta, ta, now!"
He turned to Keiko when he realized she was gone... "Let's just bring
something to swap with her! Uh... maybe that woman wants is our
technology...?"
"No... more complicated than that if I have to guess, if that's our case..." Keiko replied.
"Well, Ah don't care, Ah'm going there right now and give her what she deserves!"
Keiko looked at him walk away and turned side to side. "Well I guess I'm coming along!"
Feels like rushed work.
That's me
