a/n I would like to thank my two reviewers reviews keep me writing folks :)
CHAPTER TWO
When Marlin awoke he found himself in a hospital bed. He looked around. There was a woman in the bed next to him sleeping. He found an assistance button and pressed it over and over again till an annoyed nurse came in. The nurse was elderly with her frizzy hair tied up in a messy bun. She had a weathered face and a grumpy expression.
"Sir, what do you need?" the nurse said in a raspy voice. "Ms., where's my son?" Marlin pleaded. "Sir, you arrived to the hospital alone with a slight concussion. You've been asleep for the past three days," the nurse said with a sigh. " My son, he was kidnapped at the subway" Marlin shouted. "Sir please calm down, the police are already searching for your son, and if you don't mind please rest" with that said the nurse left the room.
"Does your son look like you?" an unfamiliar voice asked. Marlin turned to see the women in the bed over looking at him. She had dark hair tinted blue. Two bleached blonde streaks lined her face. The tips of her hair were bleached. Her eyes were a light brown with a slight pinkish undertone. She was wearing a long sleeved blue shirt with yellow stripes and a black shirt that went past her knees.
"Yes, my son looks like a younger version me and my wife. Have you seen him?" Marlin replied hopefully. "I did I was at the subway when they took him. I followed them and then they hit me in the head" the women said. "Can you take me to the last place you saw him? What's your name" Marlin asked. "My name it's, it's, and it's Dory yes Dory. Of course I'll take you. But we have to leave right now" Dory replied.
In order to skip dealing with the doctors the two people scaled down the fire escape. When the two reached the street Dory walked ahead. Marlin walked a little ways behind her. Dory looked behind her and sped up. Marlin sped up too. Dory looked behind again and broke into a full sprint. Marlin started running and struggled to keep up. Dory whipped around and pushed him backwards.
"Why are you following me freak?" Dory screamed at Marlin. "What are you talking about you were going to show me where you saw my son" Marlin shouted. "Oh dear, I'm sorry I forgot. You see I have short-term memory lost but don't worry I saw your son around this corner" Dory said running around the corner.
When Marlin rounded the corner he saw an orange hoodie with a white stripe and a baseball cap. He grasped the hoodie and looked at the tag seeing Nemo's name on it. When he saw the baseball cap he picked it up and it had something written on it in a language that Marlin couldn't read. It looked like it was Chinese maybe Japanese.
"What are you reading friend?" asked Dory. "I don't know I can't read it" Marlin sighed as he said it. Suddenly a very big man stood behind them. He was very muscular man. He wore a white shirt under a dark blue jacket; he was also wearing blue jeans. He revealed very big teeth when he smiled
"Hello, my name is Bruce" the man said. He then proceeded to push Dory and Marlin into a blue van. Bruce stepped into the drivers seat and began driving. Dory and Marlin huddled together in the back. Bruce began to drive through Manhattan when he started to explain why he had kidnapped them.
"You see I'm in a support group for ex convicts," Bruce explained. "I'm enraged when I see blood. It makes me want to hurt people. So I joined this anger management program for ex cons to overcome my limitations. Today I'm having a meeting and I need to bring a friend. When I saw you two I thought, "They look like nice people" so I just had to bring you. I'm sorry for any inconvenience" Bruce smiled as he said this.
"Oh my gosh, I'm in a car with a psycho" Marlin thought. Bruce pulled up to this shabby looking building in China town. He slid open the van door and offered his hand to Dory. The trio walked through the building and found themselves in a room with water damage stains all along the walls and ceiling. There was a table filled with doughnut boxes and cheap coffee. Five chairs were surrounded a podium. Three men were already in the room.
One of the men had a greasy black hair slung back in a ponytail. He was lean and wore ratty jeans and a stained gray tee shirt His nose was pierced with a fishing hook and acne scars framed his face. The next man had a wide face and a narrow body. His eyes were far apart and was wearing a gray trench coat. The final man was short and shaking like a leaf. His hair was bright yellow and he was wearing a yellow shirt with blue jeans.
Bruce walked up to the podium and started to speak. "Hello everybody. Lets all start by introducing ourselves" Bruce said. The man with the ponytail stood up and said "Hello my name is Chum". Everyone responded by saying "Hello Chum". This process was repeated for the man with the wide face "Anchor" and the little man "Blenny".
"My name is Bruce and I have suppressed my anger for five weeks" Bruce said proudly. The group then applauded and Dory walked up to the podium. Dory tripped on one of the chairs and fell. Marlin rushed over to Dory. He checked her leg and saw that she was bleeding. When Bruce sees her blood he lets out a scream. Chum and Anchor latch onto Bruce and scream at Dory and Marlin to run.
Dory and Marlin ran out into the hallway. While searching for a way out Bruce comes running out blocking the front door. Marlin and Dory dash up the stairs with Bruce gaining fast. Dory and Marlin climb all the flights of stairs until they reach a door with Chinese characters written all over it.
"It says push, push it" Dory screamed. "You can read Chinese?" Marlin shouted as Dory and him rushed onto the roof. Bruce came rushing out onto the roof. Dory took Marlin's hand and jumped off the room.
Marlin screamed bloody murder as he saw his life flash between his eyes. His childhood, meeting Coral, losing Coral but gaining Nemo, losing Nemo, and finally meeting Dory. Too his surprise instead of his body splattering on the pavement he felt Dory and him land into a dumpster full of trash.
"That was amazing, how did you know that there was a dumpster?" Marlin asked Dory. "I didn't I just knew we had to get out of there' Dory giggled as she stepped out of the Dumpster. Marlin followed suit and got out of the dumpster
"Dory can you read what this says?" Marlin asked handing the baseball cap to Dory. "It says P. Sherman, Wallaby Way, Miami Florida" Dory said. Marlin and Dory continued to walk down the street when a homeless man ran towards them. The homeless man snatched the baseball cap and ran. Marlin screamed in terror and ran after the homeless man. Marlin couldn't keep up and lost him.
"Dory what am I going to do? I lost the hat and I can't remember what the address was" Marlin started sobbing on the sidewalk. People passing by quickly glanced down at the crying man.
"The address is P. Sherman, Wallaby Way, Miami Florida. I REMEMBERED SOMETHING," Dory cheered as she pulled Marlin up off the sidewalk. "To Miami Florida we go" Marlin said.
a/n Well that was chapter two, we'll see Nemo and the tank gang next chapter. Remember to REVIEW.
