I'm finally back with another story. This one was inspired by an art of the-adorable-vinnie-dakota on Tumblr. This story contains some angst, so if you feel uncomfortable with it, I suggest you leave immediately. For those who stay, enjoy!
Chapter 1 ~ The Pursuit Of The Murphy
Milo, Melissa, and Zack went out of the covinient store, carrying bags of foods and drinks. Although it's Monday, but all the students (and teachers) got free holidays for about 1 or 2 weeks forward since the school is being fixed after the pistachions invasion yesterday. Melissa and Zack had been thinking about staying at Milo's house as it's a holiday, and due to the fact that Milo had something important to discuss to them.
"So Milo, about this 'important' thing you want to discuss, what is it?" ~ Melissa asked turning her head to Milo. Milo kept focusing on the paper bag he's holding.
"Oh... it's not that quite. I think we can wait at my house, and I'll tell it to you." ~ Milo stated as they kept walking back to Milo's place.
The trio strolled the whole way to the Murphy's mainson. But unbeknownst to them, 2 time traveller agents already put a tail on them.
"There! They're on the move, let's go!" ~ Brick said. "Copy that!" ~ Savannah replied. They tailed them as quiet as possible, trying their best not to attract attention. Surely Brick and Savannah have already put a tail on a lot of people before during their whole career, but this is certainly their first time putting on a tail on kids, so it'll be much diffrent than their targets before.
A few minutes later, the trio arrived at the part of the city that they'd like to refer as the "Safety Sector", because that's where Elliot always stopped them, even though they did nothing wrong. But today, it was diffrent. "Hmm... where is he?" ~ Melissa asked, looking around the place ~ "He should be here by now."
While then, the two figures still followed them. After they reached a safe distance for the kids to not realize their presence, they then hid in a nearby bushes. "What should we do? Should we confront them now?" ~ Savannah said. "Negative! It's not safe enough, they'll just run away. You know how the 2 of them escaped the last time." ~ Brick said, remembering their pursuit for Melissa and Zack which ended them in a hole full of rats and a wolf.
"So... shall we get going?" ~ Milo looked at the two as they gave an affirmative nod. The traffic seems to be a bit quiet, but they tried to be prepared. They then crossed the street carefully, hopefully no Murphy's Law that will occured. Suprisingly for them, the journey home is a bit quiter than (they think) it's supposed to be.
As they arrived at the Murphy's residence, Milo then walked to the door and opened it, only to have the door fell onto the floor because the hinges loose. "Oops, the hinges loose." ~ Milo then pulled out some tools to fix the door. Melissa and Zack helped him to hold the door while Milo put on the hinges.
As the door already fixed, the trio then rushed to the kitchen and put the snacks and drinks they've bought on the counter and have a seat on the sofa. "You know, suddenly I have a bad feeling that something will happen." ~ Melissa said, breaking the silence between them. All of the boys then turned their attention to the girl. "Maybe it's just Murphy's Law. We can handle that." ~ Milo
"No, I mean... this one's diffrent. It's like something bad will happen, like bad like Pistachions invasion." ~ Melissa. "You're acting paranoid, you should rest a little." ~ Zack comforts her.
While then, Brick and Savannah hid in a bush, next to a window of Milo's house, that connects straight to the living room. "Okay, the target seems vulnerable. It's time!" ~ They then approach the front door and knock it.
"Hmm... who is it?" ~ Melissa asked as she glanced at the door. "I don't know. I didn't expect anybody." ~ Milo ~ "Sara's at school right now, and my mom and dad is working."
"I wonder who that might be?" ~ Zack
They then approached the door and opened it, revealing 2 people Melissa and Zack didn't seem to like. They held Milo on the back, protecting them from the time travellers. "You again! What are you doing?!" ~ Melissa hissed at them with a stern face. Zack also gave them the most death glare he can. Milo seemed worried to his friends.
"Hello kids. We just need to talk to you about something." ~ Brick said in a friendly manner.
"Don't fool us with your friendly faces! We know what you're up to." ~ Zack.
"And we're not letting you get to him!" ~ Melissa ~ "Now leave immediately!" ~ She added, kicking them away from Milo's house.
"Yeah, don't let me use my fighting skills here!" ~ Zack added as he clenched his fists.
Brick and Savannah then turned back from Milo's house, but they know they wouldn't just leave like that. As Melissa and Zack relieved that they're leave, they then closed the door and get back inside.
"Who are those people, guys?" ~ Milo asked, confused about their friends' behaviour to him.
"I don't know for sure, but I'm sure that they're not Certified Public Accountants, and they must up to something not good." ~ Melissa told him, concerned.
"And I'm pretty sure that they're up to your backpack." ~ Zack added, pointing at Milo's backpack. "My backpack? Why did they after my backpack, and how did you know that?" ~ Milo asked with a worried face while hugging his backpack close to him.
"We ventured with them before. You know, when you're time-travelling with Cavendish and Dakota." ~ Melissa.
Diogee then showed up, giving him an affirmative bark. "Diogee? You too?" ~ Milo asked as his dog give another bark. Diogee then walked out from the view.
Milo's face then showed a worried expression, which is weird for Melissa and Zack. They fight those people just for saving his backpack. "Don't worry, Milo. As long as we stand still, we will protect you from them." ~ Zack assured him as they pulled themselves into a group hug.
The group hug lasted about 30 seconds, then they broke themselves apart. "Come on! Let's go upstairs!" ~ Melissa said as they headed to the stairs.
"Wait! What about the snack?" ~ Milo asked looking at the kitchen counter.
"I'll get them for you. You can go ahead." ~ Zack said as he headed back downstairs and into the kitchen.
He then rummage through the paper bags and pulled out a bag of candy and 3 cans of soda. Suddenly, there's a loud bang on the door. He thought that it's just Murphy's Law, but the voice behind him made him sure that it's not. "Well, well, well..."
Zack then turned back, the source of the voice made no surprise to Zack. "What do you want?" ~ Zack asked in a very serious tone. The agents stepped forward, made Zack taken aback.
"We just have an unfinished business here. Give us the backpack and the kid, and we will cause no harm to all of you." ~ Savannah said making it easy to him. But Zack is not a naïve. He wouldn't give away his friend just because he don't want to be hurt. He better died protecting his friend, rather than lived without them.
"You'll never touch any single hair of Milo." ~ Zack made it clear with his voice that he wouldn't give what they want.
"I guess we just have to use the hard way." ~ Brick said as Savannah grab his hands, bringing him away from the kitchen.
Milo and Melissa waited impatiently for Zack in Milo's room. "Oh man, where is he? What took him so long?" ~ Melissa groaned as she kept waiting. "Maybe we should check him. He probably gets some trouble on the kitchen." ~ Milo said as they headed downstairs.
Halfway downstairs, they saw Zack being tied to a chair in the living room, with the agents confronting him.
"Now tell us kid! Where is the boy?!" ~ Brick said in an angry tone.
"I won't give away Milo for you. I won't tell you anything. You can do anything to me." ~ Zack stressed his voice.
Milo was surprised. Usually Zack is the coward one, but he didn't hesitate putting himself in danger just to protect him. Suddenly, a picture hanging behind him fell, making a loud crack noise, which attracted their attention.
"There he is!" ~ Savannah.
"Run Milo!" ~ Zack yelled.
"After him!" ~ Brick ordered as he and Savannah chased them upstairs.
Milo and Melissa went into Milo's room, locking it, but that didn't stop those agents from breaking in.
"Don't worry, Milo. Get behind me! I'll take care of them!" ~ Melissa.
Melissa then got into her fighting stance, facing the two agents as Milo watched her from behind. Savannah then pulled out somewhat a perfume bottle and sprayed some of the gas to Melissa. Melissa then felt her consciousness gradually decreased, and she fell onto the floor unconscious. Milo then got to her in a worried face, shaking her body.
"Oh no! Melissa, Melissa are you okay? What did you do to her." ~ Milo asked as he turned his face to them.
"Oh don't worry kid. It's just a momentary effect, she'll wake up soon." ~ Savannah explained ~ "But while then..." ~ She then sprayed some of the gas to Milo, making him unconscious. "Take him away!"
They then escaped through the window in Milo's room, bringing the unconscious boy with his backpack with them.
