You know, I just decided to update spontaneously because I keep getting all of these chapters written down fast. I mean, I have part of chapter four already written down. (I write them on paper, then I type them.) Although you should expect me to have updated by the weekend.
Thanks for the reviews!
Chapter 3
Escape Plans
Even though it was rather early, Murdoc was up and fully awake. He walked over to where Russel was stationed (right in front of the screens) holding a folded up piece of paper in his hands.
"Whatcha got there?" Russel asked as Murdoc approached him.
Murdoc looked at the folded up piece of paper, then looked at Russel. "It's a map," he answered proudly.
"Of what?" Russel asked, raising an eyebrow at Murdoc.
"The zoo," Murdoc replied sarcastically. Russel frowned. "Okay, really, it's a map of the Inc." he answered. He continued, "This way, we can map our escape plans."
"Oh."
"Yup," Murdoc said, taking out a pencil from who-knows-where.
----In An Alleyway----
Noodle sat on the ground leaning up against the wall staring at the sleeping from of 2-D right across the alleyway.
Sure it was rather early, 8:00 a.m., or so said Noodle's watch, but it was late for her. "2-D-san?" She said in and unsure tone, as she had never really said his name up until now.
"2-D-san," She said with more confidence.
He still didn't stir.
Noodle sighed, even though yesterday was a hard day for him, it was a hard day for her too, and she had still gotten up early.
Still to tired to get up and stand, Noodle crawled over to sit next to 2-D.
Noodle looked up towards the sky and sighed…Still no sight of the island.
She turned her head sideways to look at 2-D. She contemplated on whether or not to try and wake him up again. 'It looks like this is the first time he's slept in a long time,' Noodle though, 'He has such dark circles under his eyes…'
Noodle sighed again, she could feel herself starting to get sleepy again. Her eyelids began to droop as she drifted off into a deep slumber.
----Back At the Inc.----
"Yo, Muds, I don't think we're ever going to find a reliable escape route," Russel commented while looking at the map he and Murdoc were drawing escape routes on.
It had been thirty minutes and they had found many escape routes, as Murdoc had said so, but they really had only found two.
"Yes we will!" Murdoc replied reassuringly. Obviously, he was determined to escape the Inc. "If 2-D did, so can we!"
Russel shook his head.
----Back In the Alleyway----
2-D began to stir and soon woke up.
Even though it had taken 2-D a little while to notice an extra weight on his left shoulder, he noticed it nonetheless.
He looked to his left and noticed a head resting on his shoulder. 2-D went through a couple of seconds of panic before he realized it was the sleeping form of Noodle.
At that moment, Noodle sighed and stirred a little in her sleep.
2-D decided to go ahead and let her sleep, even though she was resting her head on his shoulder.
----At the Inc.----
"Aha!" Murdoc said as he found another escape route.
So far, the escape route count had gone up to four. Which was good, as the Inc. didn't have many exits.
"Does this one actually leave the Inc.?" Russel asked, looking at Murdoc then the map on which he had drawn the route on.
"Of course," Murdoc replied mockingly.
Russel frowned at Murdoc's unneeded tone.
----Back in the Alleyway----
2-D was beginning to worry. It was now one o'clock in the afternoon, or so Noodle's watch had said, and Noodle was still asleep.
"Noodle?" 2-D said, trying to wake Noodle up.
Noodle stirred a little bit.
2-D breathed a sign of relief, at least she was alive. "Noodle, wake up," he tried again.
"Hnn?" She said now waking up, lifting her head off of 2-D's shoulder. "Gomen-nasai, I didn't mean to fall asleep," Noodle apologized while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"It's awright," 2-D said reassuringly.
"Let's wait for the island," Noodle said, fully awake and already looking up at the sky.
To Be Continued…
Well, how was it?
Okay, just so I don't get asked this, Gomen-nasai means sorry in Japanese and it's more polite then just saying 'gomen'.
I'll try and make future chapters longer. Promise.
Yup…I know it was a rather quick update, but who hates quick updates? I sure don't.
See you next chapter!
Oh yeah, please review.
