(Disclaimer... blah blah don't own 'em, blah blah blah)

Noodle awoke for what seemed like the billionth time that day and looked out of her hiding place.

The sky was turning a deep blue, and a chill was in the air. 'Perfect…' Noodle breathed. No chance of being seen or noticed in the dark, as her hair colour seemed black and she'd probably be mistaken for a tourist that'd got lost or something.

Noodle wandered up the road, following some recent tyre marks that were marking the concrete.

'These look oddly familiar' Noodle breathed, as she followed the marks 'Much like the Geep's…'

Noodle continued to wander in the road, making sure she looked as lost and as innocent as possible. All part of her plan.

Eventually, Noodle reached the edge of Essex, where posh houses and country estates were situated. She hoisted her broken guitar up over her shoulder and ruffled her hair up a little, shuffling after the tyre marks.

Soon, a little posh old lady scuttled out of her grand house and tapped Noodle on the shoulder.

'Excuse me little girl… are you lost?' she asked, a false smile plastered on her face.

'Hai, I am…' Noodle said in a thick Japanese accent, pretending to be scared and nervous.

'Where do you need to go?' the lady asked, pulling Noodle onto the pavement.

'Kong Studio's' Noodle replied

A look of horror washed over the woman's face.

'K-k-Kong studios…?' She stuttered

'Hai, I'm a big fan of Gorillaz, and I won competition to stand in for Noodle on guitar for one track on new album' Noodle nodded sweetly.

'Oh well… uh… just follow this road. It leads straight to the gates, it's a lot easier than going through the city… which is why those blasted boys and that… girl, is she?... roar through here every 5 minutes' the lady scowled

'Thank you very much, Miss' Noodle bowed slightly and made her way up the road, making a mental note to make Murdoc crash into the lady's wall at some point.

Murdoc, Russel and 2D sat around the dining table, all staring at the vacant space.

'Whut we gonna do 'bout Nood's?' Murdoc questioned, not taking his eyes off the empty chair

'I'unno…' 2D drawled, jaw hanging slightly open as he stared at the chair

'We're gonna wait until we got the truth from da' police' Russel piped up, doing the same as the other two.

About an hour passed until Murdoc broke the silence.

'I'm going for a piss, be back tomorrah' he said, stretching and slouching away to the bathroom.

'AHH YOU LITTLE FUCKER! GERROFF ME YA NOB'ED, GERROFFFFF!!' Murdoc screamed a few seconds later, running out the bathroom as well as he could with his trousers tangled around his ankles and a demon clinging to his leg.

Russel and 2D burst out laughing, covering their eyes and clutching their sides.

'There's sumfings we don't need to see Muds' 2D gasped, trying to control his laughter.

Murdoc glared at them both and tried to shake the demon off his leg whilst calling the button to the lift.

'IT'S COMING UP. IT'S COMING UP, IT'S COMING UP, IT'S DAREEEEE!' Shaun's voice boomed, scaring the demon, sending it scurrying away. Murdoc flung himself into the elevator and pulled his trousers back up, pressing the button for the car park.

'I need a beeeeeeer…' he grumbled, clutching his head.

Back in the kitchen, Russel and 2D had just about controlled their laughter, small giggles escaping occasionally.

'Well, I'm off to bed, you gonna be okay, D?' Russel announced, getting up and cracking his neck.

'Yeah, I'm gonna be alwight.' 2D smiled, following Russel to the door.

'G'niiiiiiight' Russel yawned, closing his bedroom door on 2D.

2D waited a few minutes until Russel was making no more sound, then paused outside Noodles room.

He could hear banging coming from the inside of it.

Puzzled, he pressed his ear to the door, face screwed up in concentration.

Sure enough… there was banging in the room, like someone was moving stuff around and dropping things in the process.

2D's heart rose from his stomach into throat, and butterflies tickled his tummy.

'Noodle…' 2D breathed, listening intently.

He heard a few guitar strings break and a slight giggle.

2D gulped and reached out for the door knob.

He grabbed it, cleared his throat quietly and gathered his thoughts.

'What do I say to her? What do I do?' he wandered quietly.

Shaking himself, he twisted the doorknob and slowly opened the door…
