Anyway I'm now working on chapter 12. I'm still working on the humor on the story, but i hope this chapter helps.
Hint for the upcoming chapter: The title for chapter 12 is called 'A Bitter Meeting' so you may guess what's going to happen in the upcoming chapter.
Thanks for the people that reviewed.
Chapter 11
Is It Him?
625 walked to the kitchen while marie waited for him by the door.
Marie muttered to herself, ''Why didn't you do anything before we were about to leave?''
After a while she waited for 625, of course with a little cute backpack full of stuff to keep him entertained while she was in hula class. He stared at marie as if waiting for her to say something.
'' Oh all right come on...'', Marie trailed off.
They both walked to class down the sidewalk. 625 could see the police officer he insulted a few days ago, inside his vehicle, seeming to enjoy a doughnut. Must be time for his break. 625 had a suspicious gleam in his eye and a slight snicker could be heard. Marie caught on.
'' Don't be getting any ideas...'', Marie warned.
'' Hmph!'', 625 said, with his arms crossed over his chest.
They walked by the vehicle as 625 couldn't keep his eyes off, when marie had her back turned 625 turned to the vehicle, fortunately the window was scrolled down.
'' Hey!'', 625 said, gabbing the officers attention.
'' You again!'', the officer said, surprised, nearly chocking on his doughnut.
'' Hello officer! Did you know that there's a doughnut truck...''
'' Didn't I give you a warning?''
'' That's terrific the last officer gave me a warning too! Oh wait you gave me the warning last time!''
'' Don't make me arrest you...''
Marie turned when she realized that 625 wasn't tagging along with her,'' Oh no! He's just waiting to be arrested, ain't he?''
Then she saw him... wisecracking at the officer again... She turned back and grabbed 625 by the scruff of his neck. She looked at the officer.
'' I'm so sorry for his actions again!'', Marie sighed.
'' I'll give him another warning, if he wisecracks or insults again, he's going downtown!'', the officer warned.
'' Cool, downtown to the beach!'', 625 replied.
'' Quiet you!'', Marie said, to 625, starting to have Gantu's attitude.
'' I'm watching you... strange creature...'', the officer said to 625 sternly in the eyes.
625 took it as a joke,'' You make...''
Marie covered 625's mouth with her hand. Now mumbling, 625 struggled to get Marie's hand off of his mouth.
Marie chuckled nervously,'' Okay, I'm gonna be late for hula class... Come now 625...''
She placed 625 on the ground and let go of his mouth. 625 frowned. They continued on their walk to Hula class. Marie felt as if this walk was taking forever, since she just knows 625's gonna leave her side to go off and wisecrack people again. She kept her eyes on the little wisecracking sandwich maker. 625 was just enjoying the sights of the streets, and they walked past a small restaurant by the corner of the street and up a brick pathway. This place was very well known for it's delightful delicacies. Marie and 625 failed to notice that inside Jiqua and 623 were inside making the reservations for their plan.
623 was inside reading a menu, curiously wondering what the delicacies were made from. She turned the menu to the side, before turning it upside-down then right-side-up again. Impatiently waiting for Jiqua to finish with the reservations. Sighing she walked inside the kitchen to discover anything that may indulge her very empty stomach since she hasn't had a meal in a really long time.
Inside the large kitchen she tiptoed her way to a boiling pot inside, steam resembling fog rose up towards the air. She sniffed and could smell something inside that was good. Walking up onto a table she took a peek on what was inside the steaming pot... noodles boiling in a chicken broth.
'' Soup! At least something edible to eat around here'', 623 said to herself.
As soon as those words left 623's mouth, she was caught by a cook that hit her with a broom. The impact of the hit knocked 623 off the table and she landed on the hard floor. Looking up at the chef she growled. Then she got whacked again.
'' Cook! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!'', 623 shouted.
Another hit from the broom sending her sliding through the floor and hitting a wall.
'' GET OUT! GET OUT!'', The cook shouted.
623 growled. Getting up she grabbed the broom and began hitting the cook instead,'' You like it when I hit you now! HUH?''
Then suddenly she was grabbed by the scruff of her neck. Lifted into mid air she turned her neck up to discover Jiqua,'' Oops...''
Jiqua frowned then turned to the cook,'' I'm sorry what my little... puppy has done to you.''
'' You should keep that thing on a leash!'', The cook said, rashly.
623 growled. Her belly was red from the anger from the cook. Jiqua still carried 623 by the loose skin from her neck and walked out of the restaurant. She dropped her on the ground.
'' Next time don't misbehave'', Jiqua said.
623 growled again,'' Well I'm hungry!''
'' We'll find food later. We have a job to do. Step one of our plan is complete and now, on to phase two.''
'' Look for the girl, shark thing and yellow hair-ball that wisecracks alot and eats sandwiches?''
'' Yes. Come on!''
623 followed behind, as she sighed. They walked around the island and couldn't find a clue to who were the three creatures that matched Hamsterveil's written descriptions. A famished 623 was leaning against a rock, too tired and hungry to push herself into walking anymore. On the other hand Jiqua was as fit as a fiddle and didn't seem so tired. Where did all her energy come from, which made 623 wonder.
They were walking towards a hair salon and saw a creature that seemed to match one of the descriptions, as so it seems. She was small but hair was all over her body, and upon tied to her head was a pink bow. She also had dark blue eyes, but she was eating something that nobody would consider edible.
'' Yech!'', 623 replied, with a face.
'' Well she does match the description of a yellow hair-ball', Jiqua said.
623 took the list, reading aloud,'' Small two foot creature, to me called a yellow hair-ball. Gender is male, has a liking for sandwiches. That's all he ever eats anyway. Pudgy body with golden yellow fur, red nose... some description...''
Jiqua sighed,'' I say he should've provided a picture anyway.''
623 rolled her eyes,'' Meh, let's catch the yellow hair-ball anyway, who is eating... hair...''
Jiqua stared,'' But this creature doesn't match our description... this one is female and eats hair.''
'' Still let's catch her anyway...''
Jiqua grabbed 623,'' I don't think so, this is certainly not the creature that we are looking for.''
623 groaned,'' Well can we at least stop for a bite to eat anyway?''
'' As soon as we could find those creatures, we could get something to eat.''
623 collapsed and dramatically put her arms over her head,'' I'm gonna die of starvation...''
She looked at a rock from the ground,'' I wonder what that tastes like.''
'' 623, rocks are not for eating... don't be lazy. We have to look for those creatures.''
They resumed walking. 623 was watching a pudgy guy walk past them as they walked down the sidewalk. He seemed sunburned but was carrying in his hand an ice cream cone with ice cream untouched. Pistachio ice cream of course. 623 was too hungry to care what flavor the ice cream was. Jiqua walked past the guy as 623 snuck up behind him and threw a rock at his back. She hastily ran to the front of him while the guy looked behind him. 623's belly was orange. She swiped the ice cream guy's ice cream and walked up the wall of an apartment building.
The sunburned ice cream tourist was now wondering who was the suspect who stole his ice cream. 623 was next to Jiqua following and enjoying something that may satisfy her empty stomach.
Jiqua turned around after she heard light slurps,'' Where'd you get the ice cream?''
'' Um... free sample'', 623 said.
Jiqua was now quiet, no further questions asked, now that she doesn't have to hear the whining from 623 about food and starving to death. Jiqua walked towards a school building and sat down by a nearby bench. 623 did too. Now done with her cold treat.
'' What are we doing?'', 623 asked.
'' Taking a break for a while'', Jiqua said.
623 shrugged.
Behind them was the creature that they were looking for, sitting on the hula school's stairway. 625 was staring at the sky nibbling on a sandwich, now doubting that his wish would be ever coming true. He needed something to keep his mind off his boredom. Looking inside his little back pack he looked around for something to entertain himself. The sound of the items rattling from inside the bag caught the attention of 623 who was now looking behind her back.
'' What is it?'', Jiqua asked.
'' A strange looking yellow fur-ball is looking into his back pack for something... wait a minute!'', 623 froze realizing what they were both looking for.
They looked behind them while 625 revealed his head from his back pack. Pulling out a sandwich. Jiqua read the descriptions from the note that she got from Hamsterveil. Everything they saw on 625 matched everything.
623 looked at Jiqua,'' So does he match the description?''
'' By the written clues. So far yes.''
'' What should we do?''
'' Maybe you should go up to him.''
'' Why me?''
'' One, he looks lonely sitting there all by himself. Two you could get a sandwich. Three because I said so!''
'' Okay... (sigh) Here I go...''
'' One last thing!''
'' What?''
'' Do not tell that creature about Hamsterveil nor telling him the plan. Try to pick up a short friendly conversation.''
'' Okay I guess...''
623 drew in a breath and sighed again, now walking towards the sandwich eating creature, barely making eye contact with him...
TBC...
