Disclaimer: I think you guys know what I'm going to say by now. :0)
falls flat on face before reviewers You guys are angels sent from heaven, I swear. Thank you SOOOO much for the reviews!!!
Heeheeheee. You guys all ready to know just what Boromir's plan is? DUNDUNDUNDUN!!! Cool! So grab a sodapop and some cheesecrackers and get ready for the next chapter!
Warnings: This story contains a tense moment of a near-death experience, and a terribly graphic part of what happens if someone hits you on the head with a club as hard as Bugley would. shrugs All those who are too weak at heart to read that, please skip that part and move onto the next.
Reliefs: No one dies in this chapter. :0)
Advice: Do not eat your cheesecrackers while Elrond is reciting a very heroic piece of information to the Orcs during this chapter. Results might come in choking, gagging, and very orange-like particals flying all over the room. shrugs Just warning you!

Chapter 11
Dear Lord Elrond and Gimli,
On behalf of all your friends, we regret to tell you that we shall not be sending the money. We know you will understand, and in this we take comfort. Tell your captors that we might give them a few coins if they kill you quickly, and Elrond, Arwen says she loves you, Gimli, Gloin says "be strong", and Aragorn tells both of you not to be assimiliated too quickly and not to talk like robots.
Wish you luck!
Your friends, Boromir, Aragorn, Gloin, Gandalf, Legolas, and Arwen.
P.S. Don't worry. We won't let any pets into your house while you are in Mandos.
Boss, Bugley, Pugley, Slim, and Gimli all sat completely and utterly still in shock as Elrond read off the letter that had been sent to them, all their hopes fading once again.
Elrond dropped the letter once he was done reading it, a look of utter disbelief on his face. He said nothing, but a million emotions began playing across his face all at once as feelings of anger, FURY, horror, disbelief, and exhasperation passed through him.
"I don't believe this." Boss managed to say through very stiff lips.
"Well, jumpin' crickets if these guys are really your family and friends then they sure are lousy ones!!" Pugley remarked in all seriousness.
"Oh well." Bugley said, trying, for the moment, to look on the bright side. "At least if we kill them quickly we'll still get a few coins."
Boss' head shot up at those words, the usual fire flashing in his beady little eyes. "A few coins?" He repeated in disbelief. A pleasant smile came to his face, and with a nice chuckle, he scooted over to Bugley, patting his shoulder. "Oh I know, Bugley. I know how wonderful that is. And we're just going to be able to support ourselves for the rest of our lives on a bunch of little coins right?" He chuckled again. "Of course."
Bugley grinned a toothy grin. "A'course!"
Boss smiled. "Well then, you perfect, stupid, mindless...IDIOT!!!" He finally screamed in the other Orc's big ear, causing Bugley to yelp and quickly scramble away. "WHY DON'T WE JUST DROP THE IDEA OF GETTING UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY RICH AND GO DIGGING IN THE DUST FOR A FEW LITTLE COINS!!!"
Bugley blinked. "You mean like a treasure hunt?" He asked in a bit of confusion.
Boss slumped. He turned to Pugley and Slim. "Now do you see why I am the leader?"
Pugley and Slim's eyes immediately wandered to the very short distance that ran between their leader's shoes and head. "Err..."
"Oh, you idiots..." Boss plopped down on the ground and began rubbing his head in pure fury. "What did I ever do to be stuck with you?"
"Well, the same reason we're stuck with you Boss!" Bugley said cheerfully. "We just weren't accepted in Mordor, that's all!"
"Yeah, it's nobody's fault." Pugley added.
"Except ours." Slim corrected with an equally cheerful smile.
"Oh yeah." Pugley agreed.
Boss glared daggers at each one of them. "All right fine. You think this is all fine and dandy, then one of you go grab that big club over there and go kill our two prisoners."
Elrond and Gimli stiffened against the stalagmite they were still tied tightly to.
The other Orcs blinked.
"You really want us to do that Boss?" Slim asked, a bit unsure.
"YES!!!" Boss bellowed. "Why, to NOT kill them after trying SO many times to get them to send us the money, and all they give in return is BIG FAT STINKING APOLOGETIC LETTERS would be......" He paused for dramatic tension as the well-known word crept down from his brain and entered in the range of hearing... "Incongruous."
The other Orcs blinked again.
Finally, Bugley sighed. "All right Boss. Whatever you say." The huge Orc stood up, walked over to were a big wooden club was propped up against the wall, and snatching it lazily from its spot, he started walking over to the two captives.
Elrond and Gimli's eyes widened in alarm. Would they really do it? Would these Orcs really kill them?
"Uh...uh...NO!!!" Gimli finally yelped as Bugley came rather close to the stalagmite and started measuring the swinging distance that he would need in order to crack both their heads in one blow. "NOOOO!!!"
"Hold on just a minute!!" Elrond put in quickly.
Bugley stopped. (author snickers as tension in room lessens considerably)
Elrond looked slyly at the massive Orc. "Do you really want to kill us now?" He asked challengingly.
Bugley blinked uncertainly, looking at Boss for help.
Boss nodded like an Orc possessed. "So DO it you IDIOT!!" He commanded.
Bugley gave a nod a raised the club up high above his head.
"NOOOO!!!" Gimli screamed.
"WAIT!!!" Elrond yelled.
Bugley stopped. "What?" He asked, wondering if he was doing this all wrong or something. Hmmm...maybe swinging it from a different angle would satisfy the captives more...
"You know, big fellow," Elrond started talking once again. "If you kill us this way, you are going to make quite a mess when you do it. After all, first you swing that thing at us really hard, and then do you know what happens next?"
Bugley gulped and shook his head.
"Well," Elrond said mysteriously, trying hard to hide a smile. "When that club comes in contact with our heads, our skulls will burst open with a big crack, and all of our brains will ooze out onto the floor."
"EEEWWWWWW!!!" Slim and Pugley shrieked, staggering backwards a few paces.
"YUCK!!!" Gimli bellowed.
Bugley began to shake right down to the very firm foundations of his gigantic being.
Boss' eye twitched.
Elrond bit his lip really hard for a few seconds to keep from smiling, then went on with his little horror tale. "And then our mouths will drop open, and blood and pink globs will drip out of our ears and our eyes." He stopped to think. "Come to think of it, our eyes might even pop out of our heads the moment you hit us..."
"EEEEEEEWWWWWW!!!" Slim and Pugley screamed.
"DISGUSTING!!!" Gimli shouted.
Bugley began whimpering, the club suddenly seeming too heavy for his now- wobbly arms.
Boss' eye twitched more rapidly.
"But that's not the worst part." Elrond admitted quite casually. "The worst part is when you hit us again to make sure we're dead and our heads fly right off our shoulders..."
"STOOOOOOPPP!!!" Slim, Pugley, and Bugley screeched.
"I DON'T WANNA DIIIIEEE!!!" Gimli sobbed, beginning to whine at the very thought of going through such agonizing torture.
Boss' eye was now twitching so rapidly that you would have thought he had a splinter stuck in there. "And...and there would be no way we would ever get paid..." He realized in horror.
Elrond nodded. "Exactly."
Boss was completely still for a few more seconds as Gimli and the other Orcs wailed and screamed to be spared from such a gruesome thing as that, then finally, he broke the very loud ruckess with his own exceptionally loud voice.
"SHUT UP!!!"
Everyone immediately stopped talking to look wide-eyed at the short Orc.
Boss smiled in satisfaction. "Good. Now..." He stood up and began pacing around. "If we are not going to kill these guys, then we are going to need another plan!"
The other Orcs blinked. (predictably)
"Okaayyy...so, what kind of plan are we doing this time?" Pugley asked.
Boss opened his mouth to say something very strong and reassuring...but the words never came.
The other Orcs waited expectantly.
There was complete silence as Boss' face froze in that position of proclomation, the words not coming from his black-toothed mouth.
After about a minute of this silence, Gimli finally broke it with a loud, "Well?!?"
Boss' mouth snapped closed and he glared dangerously at the Dwarf. "You DARE interrupt me when I am talking?!"
Gimli rolled his eyes. "Oh no, never. You just weren't TALKING!!!"
"Oh, yes I was!!" Boss insisted. "I just wasn't saying anything out loud."
"All right, then would you mind saying something out loud?" Elrond said simply.
Boss glared at him in turn. "This is all none of your business!!!" He announced. "Infact, I order you both to cover your ears!"
Elrond and Gimli stared at him.
"Well, we would if our HANDS were free!!" Gimli shouted.
Boss growled. "Cover your ears anyway." He muttered, turning around to go talk to the other Orcs.
Elrond and Gimli glanced in confusion at each other.
A few minutes later, the huddle of Orcs was broken, and they all turned to look at the prisoners.
"We have come to a conclusion." Boss announced.
Elrond raised an eyebrow.
Gimli snorted.
Boss grinned importantly. "We are going back into the city...and we are going to bring someone ELSE here!!" He declared.
Elrond's eyes widened. "No, no, no, don't do that!!"
Boss' smile faded and his eyes narrowed into a glare. "Are you telling me what to do?! Why that's just...just...incongruous!!"
Elrond rolled his eyes. "It won't do any good to bring someone else here. If they haven't sent the money for me or Gimli, then they're not going to send it for anyone."
Gimli sniffled. "I bet they're all stopping Father from sending the money!" He said dramatically. "I bet they have him locked up in a closet and won't let him out until he promises that he won't send the gold...and I bet they're only feeding him bread and water too!!"
Elrond rolled his eyes. "That will be the day." He grumbled.
Gimli growled at him.
"Well, we're not listening to you!" Boss said firmly. "We're going to get someone else..." He leaned in closer. "And we want you to tell us who we should get."
Elrond and Gimli looked at each other again.
Who in the world would be the right choice for such a thing like that?
It had to be someone important...
Someone worth something...
Someone somewhat smart...
Someone who had a connection to Elrond or Gimli in someway...
Someone who was a big part in the situation of not sending the money...
Someone like...
'Aragorn.' Elrond concluded.
After all, if Boromir didn't miss him to death, then surely Arwen would.
And another nice thing was, was that Aragorn always liked to take walks by himself out in the forest at night.
The target was perfect.
It was set.
And finally, once and for all, surely there was a chance that they might get out of this...alive at least.
Heeeheeheehee. Happy now? Man, I tell you, these Orcs sure have a way with getting gold...let's just hope that Aragorn's the right pick now!...but I warn you. Not all things are as they seem. evil grin
(Orcs come running up to front of computer. "Ok Miss Authoress! I'll tell you what. If we don't get the gold this time around, we're going to take all your reviewers and hold THEM for ransom!!!)
(Melphie glares daggers. "Oooohhhh no you don't!! I'll make you all get caught by some Elven picnic-people and DIE in this story if you do any such thing...and either way, I warn you. My readers and reviewers are either extremely fast, or very good at fighting. I wish you luck.")
Ok, you heard the Orcs. Run for your lives, but make sure you leave a review behind if you can. RUUUUUNNN!!! points wildly to Reader Safe-House that all fanfiction authoresses build for their readers just in case characters in story rebel
falls flat on face before reviewers You guys are angels sent from heaven, I swear. Thank you SOOOO much for the reviews!!!
Heeheeheee. You guys all ready to know just what Boromir's plan is? DUNDUNDUNDUN!!! Cool! So grab a sodapop and some cheesecrackers and get ready for the next chapter!
