The Mole Chap 9: What Language Barrier Ninth Task
A/N: Don't own anything. Here's to a Merry Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate.) and a happy new year. Here's your Christmas gift, the next chapter of the mole.
Jericho woke up early in the morning and went to the diva bedrooms. He took his key out and went to unlock the doors only to find them unlocked. Sighing he went to Triple H's bedroom and saw Maria sleeping on the bed. Chris walked towards the bed and stepped on a body. The body grunted and rolled over.
"Triple H, Get up!" Chris Jericho yelled into Hunter's ear. He shot up and glared at the host. "Get up, get dressed, bring Maria downstairs, and do it now!"
Chris walked out of the room leaving Triple H sitting there. Triple H got up, grabbed Maria, and carried the sleeping diva downstairs while they were both still in their pajamas. The two of them saw John Cena and Trish Stratus sitting in the meeting room, both in pajamas as well. They went to do their confessionals.
"I think Triple H is the mole, because I don't trust him." Trish's confessional ended.
"I think Trish is the mole, because she's too smart." Maria's confessional ended.
"I think Maria is the mole, because she's smarter then people think." John's confessional ended.
"I think John is the mole, because the group seems to trust him too much." Triple H's confessional ended.
"I think I am the mole because, well because I am the mole!" The mole's confessional ended.
The group then had to answer the questions on the test. The questions were...
'Was the mole considered trustworthy?'
'Did the mole do one of the three tasks?'
'Did the mole receive an exemption?'
'Was the mole blindfolded?'
'Did the mole get in a fight with another player?'
'What color card did the mole pick?'
'Was the mole allowed to sleep in the hotel?'
'Did the mole stay in their room?'
'What gender is the mole?'
'Who is the mole?'
Jericho stood in front of the group.
"As you all know this is the day you have been waiting for. Today is the final day for tasks. You failed the last task because two of the players didn't sleep in their chosen rooms. There can only be three people in the finals so one of you must go." A pause lasted for awhile before Jericho looked at one of the players. "Maria, I'm sorry. You have to leave the hotel."
Maria's face scrunched up. The other three players gave her hugs, Hunter's lasting the longest.
"I don't want to go home. I wanted to win and prove that I'm not stupid," She said packing her bags.
Triple H passed her clothes to her and calmly told Maria, "You aren't stupid. You out lasted people like Edge, Mickie, Lita, and my pal HBK. Besides, it isn't like we are never going to see each other again. We work for the same company after all. You won't have to wait long since today is the final day and then I can go back to the WWE too."
Trish and John were waiting downstairs. They were giving each other uneasy looks. There was a mole in one of them, or a mole in Triple H. There was no time left to mess around. Triple H escorted his girlfriend to a waiting car before turning back to the remaining couple.
"Lets get this stupid game going. Jericho!"
Chris Jericho arrived and held out two dice. One of them had different colors on each side and the other one had the regular one through six numbers on the sides. He held the dice out for the players to see before explaining the next task.
"Each color is a task. There is an easy task and a hard task for each color. Numbers one, two, and three represent the easy task. Numbers four, five, and six represent the hard task. Red indicates hair, orange indicates color, green indicates body, blue indicates legs, yellow indicates soul, and purple indicates sight. Trish, as they say...beasts first."
John mumbled under his breath, "It's ladies first."
Trish snatched the dice from the host's hand. She rolled them and received a two and blue.
John rolled the dice and got five green.
Hunter rolled the dice and got orange four.
"The blue task is having plaster leg casts placed on your legs. The lower numbers let you only wear one while the higher ones make you wear two. The green task is a nude painting. Lower means you get to paint a nude model while higher means someone paints you nude. The orange task is hair color. Lower means you get streaks in your hair and higher means you get your whole head of hair dyed a new color. So who's first?"
"I'm not doing it," Triple H said. Who would take the game seriously when he could have pink hair or worse, it that was possible. Trish and John Cena knew that if Hunter didn't do this task then they wouldn't get the money.
"I'm not being painted nude. It doesn't matter anyway since Triple H here isn't doing his task." John shook his head at the group.
"Well I would have done my task but since the guys are chickening out, I'm not doing mine then." Trish finished.
Jericho looked at them, "You three are the most stubborn people to be on The Mole. You won't do some extreme things to add in a pot which someone will soon win. Your pot is only at 181,000 and there is only one last task left. You sicken me. For your last task, we will be taking a plane over to a new place. We are going to Chinatown! I hope you know some Chinese!"
They arrived at their destination and took a van to a place in Chinatown. Jericho had them draw straws and Triple H got the short end of the deal, Trish got the middle, and John got the largest. This was straws we're talking about.
"You will be dropped off at different stops and must find your way back to the van. Triple H, you will get a translator. Using him, you must find the van at the heart of Chinatown. Trish, you get to use a cell phone. John, you get to use one of those high tech digital map/walkie talkie things."
They were dropped off at different locations. We see John looking at the map.
"What is the heart of Chinatown? Is it downtown? I guess I'll head that way."
Hunter had the translator translate what different people were saying. The only problem was that the two people he asked for directions were telling him opposite ways.
Trish was faring the worse since she only had her cell phone. She tried calling the operator whom connected her to someone else.
"Heart of Chinatown Chinese food? I didn't want the number to a Chinese take out place. I want directions to the heart of Chinatown!" Trish sighed while she was talking to a delivery boy on the phone.
"Heart of Chinatown, $11.95."
Trish yelled into the phone, "I am not eating your heart of Chinatown. I want to get there!" She hung up on the man and continued to walk.
John saw a place on the map. He had no clue why he hadn't seen it before. "Heart of Chinatown? Maybe that's the place."
Meanwhile the two men with Hunter were arguing. The translator was working overtime to translate their speech. They kept on rubbing their stomachs and talking about general chicken.
John Cena looked at his high tech gizmo whatever and examined it closely. The walkie talkie part looked more like a cell phone. He put in Trish's number and she picked up.
"Hello?"
"Trish you there? It's Cena. Listen, I've found this spot on the map. It's a Chinese restaurant called Heart of Chinatown. That might be what we're looking for." John looked down at the map again.
"Maybe the van will be there. How will Triple H know where to go?" Trish asked John worried.
John shook his head before replying, "Lets hope that translator of his knows what he's doing."
Triple H wasn't having any luck. A slight ringing noise distracted him from the two arguing men. He turned around to see his translator talking on a cell phone. His glare intensified, "You mean to tell me, you had a cell phone and didn't tell me about it?!" He snatched the phone, hung up on the other person, and called Trish. She told him about the Chinese place and it was decided to meet there. A little while later saw the three players arriving at their destination and getting into the van.
"Since all three of you were able to get here money was put in the pot. This brings the pot up to 271,000 dollars total. One of you will win that money in a moment but we must now do the confessionals and take the final test. It's all or nothing now."
The three players walked side-by-side with Trish in the middle. They all looked straight forward as Jericho walked in front of them. The went in to do their confessionals.
"I am the mole because I'm deviously delicious. I've played Cena and Hunter like fools. I got the others to trust me then I cost them the money." Trish finished her last confessional.
"I am the mole. It has been fun to ruin every task we had to do. Hunter and Trish haven't been able to see me, well the real me. If I had the chance to do it again, I would." John finished his last confessional.
"I'm the mole! I've been the mole from the start of this. I didn't care about the money they would win nor the people who would be burned by my betrayal. Trish and John are both fools." Hunter finished his final confessional.
Then they went to take the final test. Each one had to answer ten questions about the mole.
'What did the mole say when it was picked up in the first task?'
'What was the number on the mole's journal?'
'Was the mole's partner in the labyrinth task able to get out of the maze?'
'Which player was the mole's least favorite in the task to pick the least liked player?'
'Where was the mole positioned in the glass bowl task?'
'What costume did the mole wear to the ring in the costume task?'
'Did the mole do a risky task in the trust task and if so, which one?'
'What colored card did the mole pick in the room task?'
'What item was given to the mole in the last task?'
'Who is the mole?'
