Chapter 5: Manhole Hitter
As they were about to approach the pizza palace, Jill noticed a manhole cover on the ground which said "PIZZA" on it, and using a small wrench in her pocket, she pried it open.
"Why are you doing that?" asked Mush, as she looked at the other side of the cover. She dusted off the side of it, and placed it on the ground.
"I need to know the cause of wearing out metals, and this is the best way to do it," she replied. Without hesitation, she started to climb down the ladder into the sewer. Mush just stared in surprise, and then decided to wait for her to come back.
A screeching caw from behind made Mush turn around suddenly, and he saw a raven fly into his face, its claws digging into his face as it cawed once more. It settled on top of the manhole cover, and pecked at it in a rhythmic motion.
"Ow!" he exclaimed, and tried to kick the raven away. It flew away in the other direction. Just then, Jill climbed out of the sewer and onto the land.
"I can't find anything because it's too dark," she said. "And why is your face suddenly scratched?"
"A raven just flew into my face and scratched me. Have you ever seen ravens around this neighborhood anyway?" he added. He chuckled nervously, as he felt something was wrong. The raven seemed too ironic, such as a sign of some sort.
"Ravens never come here," Jill said quietly, almost to herself.
At the pizza palace, they pulled Frank out of the place for a bit into the empty outdoor eating place and tried their best to tell him what was happening.
"You know, I think that's crazy," he said. "Crazy!"
"Do you believe us?" said Mush. "Come on Frank, you've been like my best friend since fourth grade."
"Maybe, maybe not," said Frank. "Are you saying that one of us is going to die?"
"It said there was a specific order," said Mush, but stopped talking when he saw Lakister walking towards them at sheer coincidence, coming out of the Pizza Palace with a hefty amount of food.
"Hey, you guys look familiar," Lakister grunted, putting his food down. "And look at little hammer bro, working as a pathetic pizza guy with a pathetic uniform.
"Watch your mouth, cloud boy," warned Frank. Just then, Officer Parakarry appeared in his police car at another chance of coincidence. He approached Frank.
"Frank, your parents are asking to bring you back for an important drama meeting thing," he said. "You're already late."
"Drama meeting?" scoffed Lakister. "That's pitiable."
"You're a fucking play director!" yelled Frank. "You like drama too!"
"At least I don't work as a pizza boy!" argued Lakister.
"Stop fighting, and Frank, come with me," said Officer Parakarry, but was barely heard over the arguing of Frank and Lakister.
"Come on buddy, just stop arguing," insisted Mush, pulling Frank away from Lakister. Officer Parakarry also grabbed onto him, as Frank tried kicking and punching Lakister who was six feet away from him. Parakarry suddenly stopped and looked at Lakister slowly, until he spoke.
"You look and sound familiar," said Officer Parakarry suddenly, looking at the play director carefully and observantly.
"Me?" asked Lakister.
"Yeah, I guess. Do you know someone named Lakilester?" asked Parakarry.
"Oh, you mean Spike," snorted Lakister. "My stupid brother who died last week when he fell into a bush of thorns, because he lost his cloud from a sudden temperature freeze. But guess what? I didn't like him! Nor do I like Frank the faggot!"
"I'm not a faggot, you goddamn son of a bitch!" yelled Frank, but Mush, Jill, and Officer Parakarry turned around when they heard a cry of a raven, and a sudden swerve. A pizza delivery truck had just dodged a raven and nearly turned to its side. The pizza tuck knocked down a stop sign, which fell over and flipped the manhole cover into the air, which was not properly screwed in by Jill.
"You are pathetic, you nauseating, piece of goddamn crap!" Lakister shouted at Frank, as they all saw the manhole cover flipping in the air, heading towards his head.
"Look out!" shouted Mush, lunging forwards.
Lakister turned around at the last second, as the manhole cover sliced a chunk of his head out in a sudden turn, splattering blood on the others. Jill screamed in terror, as Mush fell back in surprise, his clothessplashed with blood. Frank just stood his ground, speechless. Lakister's body finally fell down onto the floor, as the four of them looked in horror at the bloody manhole cover, still spinning on the ground until if finally stopped.
"Aww shit! Oh my fucking gosh!" Frank yelled, suddenly realizing what had happened. Jolene let out a crying gasp and backed away, as Officer Parakarry slowly walked his way to his police car and talk out his walkie-talkie
"Officer Parakarry on line, there has been a freak accident on Street Azzip, near the Pizza Palace. Please bring security along with ambulance, detectives, etc."
"Message finished," finished Parakarry. The others had backed away from the scene and waited for the police to come.
Police arrived at the scene, and started to ask the four ofthe survivorsquestions. Once the place was cleaned up, Mush and Jill told Officer Parakarry what they knew about the death situation they were in.
A day had passed, and Mush didn't know what to do. There were already two deaths, and he was unaware of the certain order that they were dying in. Until…
"How did I die?" asked Jill, when they were both driving to the funeral of Lakister. "Tell me."
"What do you mean?" said Mush.
"In your premonition, tell me everything that happened," she said.
"Okay," said Mush, stopping the car. "First, you said something about the blimp descending, and then the whole back of the gondola blew up and unhooked and everyone started to fall out."
"When did E. Gadd die?" she asked.
"He died…first. That's the order. And then Lakister died! That's the order we're going to die! The order we were supposed to die on the blimp is the order we're going to die right now. I've never thought of that."
"So according to the order we had died in the blimp accident, that's how we are going to die?" asked Jill. "How did you know?"
"You just made me thing about it! Thank you!" said Mush, and he started to drive the car again. They just sat down for a few minutes, until Jill spoke out.
"I think I know a sign for the death of Lakister. Didn't you say a raven had scratched you in the face yesterday? When I came out of the manhole? I think that was a sign, because I remember that a raven had made the pizza truck swerve."
"I also remember," said Mush, thinking. "The raven had thenlstarted to peck the manhole cover, which was a sign. The manhole cover also said the word pizza on it."
"These signs are really easy to predict if we pay close attention," realized Jill. "But in the other hand, they could mean anything."
They arrived at the funeral, which was only a few minutes long. His coffin was left open, but many people were too disgusted by the sight and it was forced to be closed. At the end, the minister asked if anyone wanted to sign his funeral book to show their gratitude to Lakister the lakitu. Only six people had signed the book. Mush got suspicious when Frank went up to sign it.
"Hey, look at what I wrote the book," chuckled Frank mischievously once the funeral was finished. Mush opened the book and read what Frank had written.
"Go suck balls, you fag, and may this sixth signature be your last? Frank Ferniz? What the heck Frank, they'll arrest you!" said Mush in surprise. "Although you have to admit that is funny." They both laughed.
Death was planning its next strike.
I can't help adding, "Nobody really cared about Lakister." Anyway, please don't forget to review this story, and I'll update soon.
