Chapter 9
The Rescue

Crickets chirped outside of the jailhouse. At least, 2-D hoped they were outside; it was pretty loud and distracting.
He couldn't sleep. All he could do was turn over onto his other side and close his eyes again. He still couldn't sleep. He was too busy worrying about what was going to happen to him and what had happened to Noodle.
2-D heard light footsteps coming from somewhere in the jail. He didn't think much of it though; it was probably someone just pacing around in their own cell.

Noodle walked through the dark building, trying not to make any noise, but her footsteps ended up echoing throughout the building. Luckily, they weren't very loud.
She stopped and sat down on the ground. She decided to wait until early morning, so she could see.
Suddenly, she felt a tap on the shoulder.

Del sighed as he lifted the bass off his shoulder and leaned it up against the building. He too leaned on the building. Looking up in the sky, he happened to see an island floating by. 'Things are getting stranger and stranger,' He thought, raising an eyebrow.
He grabbed the bass guitar and stood back up. He had to keep walking around and looking until he found the others.

Noodle spun around to see who had tapped her on the shoulder.
"What are you doing here?" The person asked. AS soon as they looked at Noodle, a look of surprise came over their face. "Y-You're that girl! That girl that escaped from the Inc! What are you doing here?"
"I…" Noodle began as she looked off to the side.
"I'm James, and I work here," He said. 'What should I do? Should I help her? She could be the only one that could end the Inc's ruling…' James wondered.
Noodle looked over at James. Could she trust him? "I- I'm looking for someone," She answered quietly.
'She must be looking for those two Inc. escapees,' He thought. "All right, I'll help you," James said.
Noodle looked up at him in surprise. Nobody had really ever offered her help before. "Thank you!" She said.
Getting up from her sitting position on the ground, she asked, "Where is he?"
"'He?' You mean 'they', right?" James asked, raising an eyebrow.
"'They'"?
"Yes. We have two Inc. escapees here," James replied.
"Wait…" Noodle said, stopping. "How did you know I was looking for an Inc. escapee?"
"You escaped from the Inc. before, so I just assumed you were looking fro an Inc. escapee."
"Oh… There are two?"
"Yes."
Noodle began to wonder if she should rescue the other Inc. escapee.
"One of them's the fifth from the right, the other's the fifth from the left," James told Noodle as he handed her the keys. "If you need any more help, just ask," He added as he turned around and walked away.

Del kept on walking forward. He hadn't found anyone yet, which made him slightly disappointed. He was determined, though, so he kept searching.

After wondering which way to go, Noodle finally decided to turn right. She headed down the hallway until she counted the fifth one. She looked in, hoping that it was 2-D, but instead found the other Inc. escapee.
Apparently, he had noticed her, as he said, "Huh? Who're you?"
"I'm here to let you out," Noodle replied, unlocking the door and opening it. She ran off before he could say thank you.
Once Noodle turned to the left, her heart began pounding. She really hoped it was 2-D. As she counted the fifth one, she was so nervous she started to slightly tremble. Noodle took a deep breath as she looked, to see if it was 2-D.
She saw him pacing around, apparently, he hadn't noticed her.
Quickly unlocking the door, Noodle ran in and immediately hugged 2-D as she exclaimed, "I'm so glad you're okay!"
2-D was caught by surprise as Noodle hugged him. He hugged her back and said, "I'm glad you're okay, too."
"Come on, we gotta get outta here!" A voice said from the doorway.
Noodle stopped hugging 2-D as she looked over to see where the voice was coming from.
"Murdoc!" 2-D exclaimed.
"Yeah?"
"You escaped?"
"Well, I tried to, but I got caught. But, now, I guess I did escape, thanks to… What's you're name?" Murdoc asked as he looked over at Noodle.
"Noodle."
"Oh, all right. Well, we better go look for the others," Murdoc said.
