Chapter 14: The End Of The Day
With Caitlin, Natsu, and Megan...
"Gah, stomach ache...," Caitlin mumbled as she, Natsu, and Megan followed Mike down a hallway.
"I told you not to eat sugar packets, Cait...," Mike retorted.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever," Caitlin riposted.
Mike ignored her again as he came back to the front room with the three girl hams following him. He turned toward the stairs and walked up them quickly. The girl hams admired the pure white carpet that looked as if it was brand new and the craftsmanship of everything. Mike had to stop at the top of the stairs and wait for them since they were looking at everything.
"C'mon, you three, we haven't got all night!" Mike snapped.
The three girl hams rushed up the stairs and followed him. Mike led them down a long, grand hallway until he came to a large door. He threw it open to reveal a large room with three twin-sized beds, a flatscreen TV, three nightstands, and three beanbag chairs. He stepped out of the way and remarked, "Well, while you're with us, you'll be staying here."
Caitlin, Natsu, and Megan's eyes sparkled brightly as they looked around at the room.
"It's perfect!" Caitlin remarked. "It's almost like a big sleepover!"
"Heh," Mike rejoined. "About morning procedures...one of the maids will wake you up at eight in the morning, and you have to take a shower. The bathroom's down the hall. Oh, and breakfast will be at nine. I let everyone run around this place until midnight, and then I expect everyone to be in their rooms getting ready for bed. Also, please be asleep by one. I think it's important for everyone to get at least eight hours of sleep. It would be even better if you could be in bed by midnight. And after midnight, the only place outside your room you can go is to the bathroom, and you must call a maid to make sure you're going there instead of somewhere else. To call a maid, just press this little button next to the door." He pointed at a white button on the wall. "If you want some kind of snack, just press that button too. Oh, and this is not a playground, it's just like the other Bad Hams Place, just more elaborate and expensive. Please don't run around screaming and all the other crap girls like to do at night. And I must add this...don't go into the forbidden areas, which include the surveillance room, the prison, the kitchen, and other places that take common sense not to go in. Got it?"
Caitlin glanced at Natsu and Megan and nodded. "I got most of it," she answered.
"Grand," Mike said. "Any questions?"
"Uh, yeah, what all is around here?" Natsu inquired.
"Well, I suggest you look around because if I tell you, it'll ruin the surprise," he replied. "Is that all? If that's it for now and you have another question later, just find me somewhere, alright? Good night, you three." Mike walked away down the hallway contiguously.
"Well, what now?" Megan mumbled.
Caitlin glanced around. "Let's see where everything is," she suggested.
"Akay," Natsu responded as they walked down the hallway.
"Let's start from the front entrance," Megan said.
"Akay dakay," Caitlin replied as they walked to the front room. After a minute, they found themselves at the top of the stairs in the front room. The three girl hams climbed down the majestic stairs to the floor below.
Once they got down on the lower level, they turned to the right to go back the way to the dining hall. While on their way to the dining hall, Caitlin saw many small rooms that looked like conference rooms, and she almost thought she saw the surveillance room with the door wide open and Mike inside it talking to one of the Bad Hams. She mumbled to Megan and Natsu, "Yo, is that the surveillance room?"
Megan and Natsu looked closer at it. It was a large room with numerous television screens showing different parts of the place. Mike was inside it talking to one of the Numbers, and he had a concerned look on his face.
"I wonder what's wrong?" Caitlin inquired quietly.
Natsu shrugged. "Dunno," she mumbled.
"Maybe we should get away from here before he sees us...," Megan remarked.
Caitlin nodded as they started to walk again. When they reached the dining room, there were many maids cleaning it up. The three girl hams didn't go inside but continued going down the long hallway. There wasn't much else down the hallway, so Caitlin, Natsu, and Megan walked back to the front room.
"I wonder what's down the other way?" Megan asked.
"Let's check it out," Caitlin responded.
The three girl hams started toward the unexplored area to the right of the front room. It was a heavy door, and Caitlin had trouble opening it. After they opened it, the three girls looked inside. It was a long, dark hallway that was only lit by a single light bulb. Caitlin threw the door shut quickly before Natsu or Megan could go in.
"We shouldn't go down there...," Caitlin whispered hastily.
"Why? It looks fun," Natsu said.
"It looks creepy...," Megan mumbled.
"Let's just go back to our room, and we can explore this place tomorrow night. We need our rest," Caitlin declared.
"What time is it?" Megan asked.
"I think it's about ten...," she replied.
"Akay, then, I guess we can go back to our room," Natsu remarked, still looking back at the large door.
The three girl hams walked up the grand stairs and walked down the long hallway. When they finally came to their room, they walked inside and got ready for bed. Caitlin lied down on her bed as Natsu climbed onto hers and Megan turned out the lights.
"Gah, I'm so tired!" Caitlin exclaimed.
"Don't emphasize like Chad, CC," Natsu told her.
"Yeah, right," she responded as she smiled.
"Yay, I'm tired...," Megan remarked. "How are we going to find that Chad guy so we can make him find Jake so I can cream his face in?"
"I don't know...," Caitlin mumbled. "I'm just tired."
"Let's figure it out in the morning," Natsu yawned.
"Good night, y'all...," Caitlin said as she pressed her face into her pillow.
