Slam
The sound echoed down the corridor from the kitchen into the wreck-room where the brotherhood minus Emily were sat watching morning cartoons
"Some thing tells Remy, the boss-lady is not in a good mood" the Cajun stated a he flicked through the channels
"Probably can't find her aspirin" Lance said as another bang sounded
"Hey go back a channel " Tabby reached across and snatched the remote off Remy putting on an old roadrunner cartoon
The teens sat there watching as the coyote fell of a 1000 ft cliff for the second time, and trying to ignore the continuing sounds of slamming cupboard doors from the other room
"I just don't get it" said Fred after a few more minuets before he winced at the sound of several cupboard doors being opened then slammed shut, even more viscously
"Get what" Todd asked over a another door banging shut
"Why Wyllie coyote keeps buying things from ACME even thought they always back fire on him" the large teen replied from his seat on the couch,
Todd shrugged at this "I don't know good credit rates maybe" he answered taking a hand full of cereal out of the box that was being passed round
The sounds of more slamming came from kitchen before the door to the wreck-room was violently thrown open , causing Todd to jump, dropping the box of cereal which went all over the floor, and a very pissed off looking Raven stormed into the room
"Alright you lot line up" she yelled, the vein twitching above here eye giving the collected teens enough warning that if this was not done quickly things could and most likely would become very unpleasant
Scrambling from there seats they formed a row sharing un easy glances at each other as Raven glared at them
"Right understand that I am going to ask this one and if I don't get a straight answer there will be consequences" snapped Raven started pacing back and forward much like a drill sergeant,
However as she was about to ask her question she moved past John, and froze, taking a step back she sniffed the air quickly
Slowly she turned and looked at the teen in front of her, who was doing a very good job of looking anywhere else but her face
"Hand them over John" her voice deceptively calm
"Hand over what" John replied feigning ignorance and finding the wall behind Raven really intrusting to look at
"The cigarettes" she answered not missing the look of panic that flashed in the boys eyes, Raven gave an exasperated sigh "John I can smell the smoke, now hand them over"
Realising he'd been busted the aussi decided to play the honesty card "Look I only have one in the morning,…."
"Yes but your not meant to have any at all now hand them over" Raven cut in bluntly
Grudgingly John pulled a crumpled box out of his back pocket and handed it over to Raven 's waiting hand
Raven razed an eyebrow expectantly "And your lighter"
John looked back shocked "Aw come on boss not Cindy" he wined holding his lighter to his chest
"Yes Cindy has to go too until I feel I can trust you not to start smoking again"
Slowly and with a little sniff John placed his lighter on top of the box of cigarettes which Raven quickly placed in he dressing gown pocket
"And don't think the rest of you are getting away from me that easy" she snapped turning quickly and catching the others who were trying to sneak 'scobby doo' style out of the room
The teens all froze where they were , except for Freddy who wasn't really concentrating on where he was going and so bumped into Todd who tripped over his laces and trying to not fall over crabbed onto Tabitha's arm, however she had frozen mid step and so overbalanced herself this caused a domino effect as she fell against Remy who banged into Lance who crashed into Wanda who tumble into Pietro who ended up at the bottom of the pile of teens
Raven gave a sigh of dismay and rubbed her temples, wondering if it was to late to go back to bed and stay there for the rest of the day
She watched as every one disentangled them self's, ignoring Wanda accidentally on purpose elbow her twin in the ribs as she got up
"Right" said Raven once they were all standing in front of her again "before I had to intervene with smoky here" she glared at John who was still sulking " I know you enjoy making my life a living hell, and in all honesty I can deal with the TP'ing, the food fights, I understand you believe rules are not only meant to be broken but , shattered into microscopic pieces and scattered across the cosmos, in all reason there has to be some purpose to the chaos you all seem to love causing on a daily bases…. "
Raven paused for a second to see if what she was saying was having effect on the people stood in front of her, and was met by stares of varying boredom, she took a deep breath and decided that it was time to go onto plan B
".…Look all that I am asking is that if you can't act like the mature young people your meant to be, you could all at the very least have the courtesy to leave me some coffee to get thought the morning, sadly it seems that today you decided that you all needed a higher caffeine intake then normal and used up the last of the coffee powder to do it, therefore two of you and Jason… "
As Raven spoke Jason walked through the door with the happy glow of some one who has had there caffeine intake that morning however this mood quickly died as he took in the view of the lined up teens and the pissed off Raven and decided that he was better of not being here right now. He turned to leave but not quick enough not to be noticed by his colleague
"Ah speak of the devil" Raven smirked at Jason in a 'if I'm going to have a crap day then so are you' kinda way , "I was just telling the kids that 2 of them have to go with you to the supermarket"
Jason opened his mouth to ague but one quick look at Raven's face told him this was 1) not up for debate he was going and could deal with it and 2)wich ever 2 kids were going with him were getting the easy option
Resigning himself to his fait he sighed and turned a headed back out the door "fine I'll go get my keys" he grumbled adding over his shoulder "Tolinsky go find the newbie you two are coming with me"
Todd having a good idea of what was going to happen to those who didn't go to the supermarket and that food shopping was the lesser of two evils, exited the room with out a backwards glance and went to find Emily
Raven watched him leave before turned back to face the reaming teens and smiled, and this smile was all they need to realise that the rest of the day was not going to be good
Emily checked under her bed for the 3rd time and just like the last two times what she was looking for wasn't there, neither was it any where else in her room, which was defiantly not a good sign
A urgent sounding nock at her door caused her to jump banging the back of her head on the underside of her bed. With a muffled curs she moved from under the bed and rubbing her head she went to open the door, to find a worried looking Todd standing there,
"Come on we've got to go" was all he said
before she could even ask go where or why they had to leave Todd crabbed her arm and pulled her along the corridor and down the stairs and out the front door
"Todd what the hell's going on" she asked "what was with the quick exit from the house"
Todd gave a small laugh " oh not much its just the boss lady's woke up more grumpy then usual this morning and adding the fact that she didn't manage to get any coffee as well, she tends to go slightly Sgt. Major and when she's like that it usually means that we all end up spending the rest of the day cleaning up the house , but as luck would have it we're also totally out of food, so even though it may not seem like it trust me that going to the supermarket is a whole lot better then having to do the washing etc"
Emily gave a nod of understanding as he finished explain, a pick-up-truck that had seen better days, pulled up in front of them, Jason at the wheel
Opening the passenger door , Todd climbed in and took the middle seat, Emily taking the seat next to him, he suddenly remembered some thing,
"um.. Em" he asked as she pulled the door shut,
"Yer" she replied as she fastened her seat belt
"Um.. you don't get car sick do ya" Todd made sure his own seat-belt was fastened, tight
Emily noticed this and at the same time that Jason was revving the engine slightly "not really" she answered "why?"
Todd opened his mouth to explain, but was beet to it as Jason put the truck in drive took his foot off the break and on to the gas
The truck shot forward down the short drive to the boarding house , taking the turn onto the main road sharply and cutting across the right-hand lain, they sped down the road over taking any thing that was going slower then 50mph (80kph)
Emily let out a small squeak as Jason braked hard as they pulled up to a red light, glancing at Todd she saw that he had his eyes shut tight and hands clasped together muttering a prayer, Emily founder her self doing the same as Jason only waited for the light to change to amber before hitting the gas pedal again,
5 minuets and several traffic violations later,the sound of the engine finally being turned off reached the teens ears, Emily decided to risk it and opened her eyes, for a few seconds she blinked in disbelief to see that they had actually come to a safe stop in the supermarket car park, letting go of the edge of the seat her knuckles having gone white from holding on so tight she gave Todd who was still sat eyes closed and muttering a poke in the arm
"Hey, Todd we made it"
Todd opened one eye to see if she was telling the truth "cool we didn't die" he remarked happily
"I'm so glad you have such faith in my driving" Jason quipped dryly as he got out of the truck "now hurry up some of us have better things to be doing then spending the whole of the day having trolleys rammed into the back of there ankles"
"Yer like buying alcohol" Todd whispered to Emily as they climbed out of there side of the truck
Emily stifled a giggle, as Jason sent a glare at the two of them before walking off towards the store, leaving the two teens to grab a trolley
As Jason walked through the entrance he was met by the sight off a packed supermarket" I hate food shopping" he muttered knowing that it would take ages to find each other if they got separated, he turned to tell Todd and Emily the same thing as they had been right be hind him as they entered the store to see that they weren't there, just an empty trolley
"Damn it" he grumbled "bloody typical 2 seconds and they've already scampered off"
Grabbing the trolley "I wonder how Raven's doing with the others he thought as he went two find his two errant charges.
