Evil prank
A sharp pain throbbed behind Jack's temples. He moved his head and the pain increased. He scrunched his eyes tight and tried to lift his hands to the sides of his head. Cramp shot through his shoulder as he realised his arms were strapped together behind his back. He rolled slowly onto his side to ease the pain. Taking deep breaths, Jack slowly opened his eyes.
The harsh morning glare of the sun hit the back of his sockets, forcing him to close them again. Rolling over onto his other side, he tried again. This time he saw nothing but shadow. Jack struggled to his knees, ignoring the throbbing in his temples and the cramp in his shoulders, and looked around.
He was in a cold stone room, empty except for the small bowl of water that had been placed on the floor near the wall. The small, slither of a window behind Jack offered the only source of light, the sun's rays teased the edge of a large steel door on the opposite wall.
Groaning, Jack tried to swallow. His throat was bone dry. He eyed the bowl of water and slowly inched his way across the floor towards it. A sudden jolt sent more cramp shooting through both his arms, and up into his shoulders. Looking over his shoulder at his hands, Jack discovered that they were handcuffed. Stretching out from the handcuffs and back towards the wall under the window was a thick, rusted chain, which was attached to a large, thick metal loop. Sighing, Jack slumped back down and sat cross-legged on the floor, willing the bowl nearer.
Up in the playroom, Lock and Shock were crouched over a sleeping Barrell. He was sprawled on his back, mouth wide open and his mask laying discarded near his head. A high-pitched, excited giggle escaped Shock's mouth as Lock lowered the scorpion towards Barrell's gaping mouth.
"Sshh". He whispered. The scorpion inched its way closer and closer until it was resting on Barrell's tongue. Grabbing her hat from her head, Shock jammed it into her mouth to help fight the tide of cackles bursting up from her throat. Lock backed away slowly as Barrell continued to sleep.
"Shock sshh!" he hissed, "you'll wake him up!" Shock jammed the hat further into her mouth and fought to keep quiet. A loud grunt from Barrell made them jump. He closed his mouth, swallowed and rolled over to get more comfortable. Unable to contain it much longer, Shock ripped the hat from her mouth and erupted in a fit of cackles. Lock soon followed suit and fell to the floor, giggling. Blissfully unaware of his playmates evil trick, Barrell slept on.
A loud cry burst from the shine in the corner, cutting short Lock and Shock's laughter and rousing Barrell form his sleep.
"Henchmen!"
The trio stampeded forward, eager to be the first to speak to their master.
"Yes Oogie!" Shock pushed Lock against the wall and stuck her head down the shoot.
"Ah, good morning Shock."
"Morning sir."
"Did everything go according to plan last night? I trust you didn't disappoint me?"
"Everything went fine sir!" piped up Lock, gagging Shock with a nearby rag.
"Good. Good. Now, rouse our guest. I want a word."
"Yes sir! Right away!" Lock and Shock turned and ran down the corridor, leaving Barrell to tag along behind. When they looked back, he was pulling a scorpion's tail out from under his tongue.
