When the friends woke up, there was the smell of bacon and they heard the sound of breakfast coming from the kitchen part of the room upstairs. Before they could all go upstairs and fill their stomachs, Cody stopped them and asked, "Guys, do we really think we can believe them? I mean, what if they're this stuff up. It could all be fake or one of those TV shows where there are cameras hidden all over the place and people pop out of the closet saying, 'You just got pranked!'."
"Cody, I'm your girlfriend, and I love you, but you would not be saying that if you had fought a guy almost 5 times your size with a real gun and no fear of killing an innocent teenager to get what he needed. I had to give him an overdose of that knockout stuff and he might be in a coma because of me, but the point is, TV shows don't really try to hurt you. Life does," Bailey replied. "So let's go eat breakfast, I'm starved."
After eating breakfast, they retreated to the armory looking for something to do and saw Ryan and Noel walking out of the secret door to the hallway one deck down. Ryan was carrying a big duffel bag full of metal objects that were clanging together and his shotgun. Noel had on a black, close-fitting, camouflaged, and no doubt somewhat light bending stealth suit and a silenced .45.
"Where are you guys going?" asked Zack.
"We're going rig the ship to blow, Noel's teaching me how to be somewhat stealthy. I'm supposed to not talk and not bust down doors and fire upon anything that moves and shows up as bad. It's kinda hard for me," Ryan replied. As is usual when Noel is going ninja, she kept quiet, nodded, and walked out the door beckoning for Ryan to follow.
"We'll be back in a few hours so tell Jess and don't let anyone in, alright!" Ryan shouted through the now closing door.
"Got it!" Bailey, Zack, and Cody said at the same time. "How do we keep doing that?" asked Zack after the door had closed.
About 5 hours later.
There was a knock on the door but the rhythm of the knock told Bailey, Zack, Cody, and Jessica that Ryan and Noel had come back. Zack and Jessica assumed the covering position and prepared to fire on anything hostile that tried to walk through the door while Cody pulled out an M16 and stood guard close to Bailey as she slowly opened the door. Standing there was Ryan, Noel, and… London?
Ooooh cliffhangers. I've been having writer's block and can't think of anything at all but I wanted to update because a few people really like the story. I would love ideas because I really need right now. Since I was short on originality, I decided to go for the classical, "Person you'd never expect to see at a time like this on your doorstep" idea. Yes, I know it's probably a little bit blur but I'm pressed for ideas. Again, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
