Chapter 78

A break from ninjaing

Mcfist left in dead silence and went back to his house. Rachel was cuddling Flare. The next day, Randy snapped awake and looked around his room. "...Oh good. It was only a nightmare...or is it..." he said. He then got up and ready.

Rachel yawned and woke up. Carmel was still sleeping and Flare woke up. Randy got dressed and went outside and cleaned up the robot parts in the yard. Rachel smiled at Flare and got dressed. Randy sneak the parts to the garbage bin and threw them away and went back inside. Carmel was in a small ball on the couch.

Randy saw her and smiled. Rachel just decided to go back to sleep. Randy then went around the house and began to go check the windows, looking outside. Every time someone came by Randy's home he thought it might be one of Mcfist robots or someone of Mcfist. Rachel came down stairs rubbing her eyes. "What are you doing?" she asked. "I'm just looking around..." Randy replied as he peeking out the window.

Rachel grabbed an apple and shrugged and went back upstairs. Randy then sunk down. "Mcfist must be up to something... it's not like he takes break's." he mumbled. Carmel lifted her head up and yawned. Randy saw that Carmel was awake. "'Morning." he said. "Morning." she replied. Randy got up and grabbed an orange and began to peel it. Carmel stretched and ended up falling asleep again. Rachel was playing with Flare.

Meantime Mcfist wasn't even trying to catch the ninja, well not pressuring Viceroy to come up with some kind of plan to. Meanwhile Randy was becoming paranoid by the minute. Rachel came down stairs to check on Randy.

Some of the blinds on the windows were closed and Randy was staring out the glass door, looking slightly tense. "Randy?" she asked, startling him. Randy sprang into a defending pose as he turned around. "...Rachel." he said quietly.

She looked at him questioningly. "What are you doing?" she asked. Randy quickly dropped the pose. "I was just keeping watch..." he replied. Rachel smiled softly. "Alright." She replied. He smiled nervously and looked back slightly. She giggled and sat down.

Randy looked back at her. "What's so funny?" he asked. "That you flinched when I said your name." she replied. "Hmm." Randy murmured. He looked a little distracted. "Randy, Relax. Mcfist isn't planning anything!" she told him. Randy sighed. "Oka- wait how do you know?" he asked.

"I should know." she replied. Randy soon had a bewildering expression on his face. "Nomi and Nicki would have told us." she replied. "I suppose..." he said looking away. He then sat down and tried to relax. Rachel smiled. She laid back on the couch.

Randy sat there for a bit glancing around. He then closed his eyes and sighed. Rachel smiled and fell asleep. Randy didn't even notice that he was falling asleep and his head was sinking down. Carmel was asleep. Randy opened his eyes and saw that he was partly lying on the floor.

He grumbled to himself as he got up. Rachel was still asleep. Randy decided to sneak outside and go for a walk. She smiled. Randy was outside and could've sworn that he heard a chicken close by as he walked. Rachel slowly woke up and looked around. She yawned.

"Hmm, maybe today I don't have anything to worry about." Randy said out loud. Rachel opened her eyes and glanced around the room. She smiled at Carmel who was asleep on the other end of the couch. Randy walked back home and on the way he gave Howard a call.

Howard picked up his phone. "Hello?" he answered. "Hey Howard it's Randy." He said. "Oh hey. What's up?" he asked. "Ah actually not much. It's been a super layback day, today." Randy replied. "No Mcfist or anything?" Howard asked.

"Nothing except I did heard some...clucking." he replied. Howard just chuckled. "At least Mcfist hasn't done anything today." he replied. "Yeah I can't believe it. So how you been?" Randy asked. He was almost home just three blocks away. "Good. Pestering Heidi." he replied.

Randy smiled then remembered about Carmel. "Oh! Guess what." he said. "What?" he asked. "I have a sister..." Randy replied. Howard nearly dropped the phone. "Wait what?" he asked. "I said I have an older sister." Randy replied. "Really? I'm not sure what to reply to that..."he replied.

"It's fine. I was surprised too." Randy said. "What's she like?" Howard asked. "She's pretty bruce. Also protective..." he replied. Howard chucked. "I'll have to meet her sometime." he replied. "Yeah, well gotta go it's been good talking to you." Randy said to Howard as he walked up to his house. Howard put the phone down and continued his game of grave puncher.
