Everyone was sitting down on the floor, talking amongst themselves about what they were going to do next. Hacker was grumbling under his breathe, and reading a book at the same time. Jackie, Inez, and Matt were listening to their CD players. Matt was listening to the usual, Evanescence! ( She's my fave! .) while Jackie and Inez were listening to N'sync. Delete and Digit were playing cards with Widget, who had come out of Digit's storecenter. Slider was on his laptop. " Woah! Look at this!" He exclaimed, and everyone, including Hacker, ran over to see what it was. They all gasped. " According to this, there is a way out of here, but it's blocked off. We'll have to unblock it. It's on the 10th floor," Matt said, reading the map that was projected on Slider's computer. Everyone sighed in relief. " Thank God," Said Inez, hugging Slider to death. Slider smiled. Digit jumped for joy. Matt accidently hit Hacker when he jumped up and raised his fist in victory, knocking Hacker in the chin. " Ow!" Hacker screamed, gripping his chin. Matt looked at Jackie and Inez who had wide eyes, and a hand over their mouths, trying to keep from laughing, covered his mouth, and bursted into a fit of laughter. Hacker looked over at him, a pissed off look on his face. " How dare you hit THE Hacker!" He roared. Matt looked at him shaking his head. " Look, I didn't see you. Sorry about that, which I'd never thought I'd say," Said Matt. Jackie groaned. " Will you two cut it out! I know you're both tired of being in here with eachother, but come on, we all have to find a way out of here!" Jackie pointed out. Matt glared at Hacker, who was glaring back, but at both kids. " Jackie's right," Inez said, coming up along-side them both. " We can't be fighting right now. We all have to work together, as much as we all hate it." She nodded to Hacker. Hacker now turned his full attention to Inez. " I never thought I'd say this, but you're right." He said. Inez nodded at him, then to Jackie, who nodded back. They then looked at Matt. The boy was silent a moment. " Fine," was all he said, before putting his CD player back on. " Slider," Inez said, turning to him. " You think you can find any routes out of here? Any short-cuts, or anything?" She asked. Slider shrugged. " I don't know. I'll try, though," He said. Inez nodded, and sat back down against the wall. Matt looked at her. " Are you tired?" He asked. Inez shrugged. " A little. It's just we haven't had anything to eat in a while..." She sighed. Jackie shivered. " Not only that, but it's freezing in here. I'm suprised none of us are sick from this moldy basement," She said. Matt glared at her. " Hey, don't jinx it, Jacks." He replied. Jackie glared back at him. " I'm not jinxing it on anyone, Matt. I'm just saying, jeez." She snapped. Everyone was quiet for awhile. Matt glanced at his watch. 2:15 am. He yawned. He looked around to see that everyone else was sleeping. He decided to call it a night himself. Through the night though, a scream peirced the air.
OOOO. We'll have to see who the person was that screamed. This chapter wasn't all too funny, but I plan on making it funnier. Watch out for my updates! Bye ya'll!
