Chapter 5

Brooke snapped her phone shut after her conversation with the other girl. They had been talking over Brooke's idea for over twenty minutes, throwing in the occasional suggestion and pointing out the kinks in her plan until the other agreed and hung up. She walked over to the window, watching 2D and Noodle chase each other on the beach as they had done that morning when she arrived.

The young girl sighed, an odd feeling of calmness settling as she stood in the silence. It stayed like this for several minutes and she was so caught up with the two musicians outside that she didnt notice when the bookshelf moved slowly, two dark shapes stepping out of the stairwell.

"'Ey! Who are you and wha' are you doin' 'ere?" said a familiar, scratchy male voice.

Brooke whirled around to face the person behind her, and her eyes narrowed as she caught sight of two of the worst people she had the displeasure of learning about: Murdoc Niccals and the evil Cyborg.

A snarl soon found itself on her face as she stared at them, her thoughts going rampant as a deep hatred flared so suddenly in her chest.

"'Ey, I asked you something! Who the 'ell are you and wha' are you doin on me island?" Murdoc took a few steps forward with the Cyborg following after, raising the rifle in its hand and pointing it directly at Brooke.

Brooke smirked suddenly and straightened up. "I am Brooke, I was at a beach back home with my friends this morning and I must've fallen unconcious while I was swimming around or something. And when I woke up, I was underwater, so when I saw the surface I swam and landed here. The end." Brooke gave him a stupid smile as he thought over what she had said. He deemed it a lie; it was too stupid and childish to be true. He turned his back to her and walked over to the lift, but not before saying:

"Cyborg, get rid of 'er."

The Cyborg nodded and grabbed hold of Brooke's arm, its cold, tight grip making her cringe; the Cyborg reminded her of a friend and the hold it had on her arm only strengthened the familiar feeling. Brooke shook her head to get rid of the unrelated thoughts when she noticed the Cyborg dragging her away to the lift doors.

"Let go, you piece of trash," Brooke grumbled, struggling until her arm was free. Just then, the lift's metal doors opened and she dashed in, pushing a random button quickly. She stood there silently in confusion after the doors closed in front of her. The Cyborg hadnt gone after her when she was able to get away, not that she was complaining; it was actually a relief. Brooke sighed quietly as the lift took her to her destination.

Several weeks had passed since the day the young girl arrived on the island. Not much had happened since the first day except that now 2D and Noodle were followed by Brooke so as to get accustomed to the place while she stayed; Russel now had her helping occasionally in the mansion, and there was a lot of yelling between Murdoc and Brooke.

Brooke was currently standing next to Russel as he made everyone's breakfast, her arms rested on the countertop.

"Have you thought of somethin' on how to get outta here?" Russel asked, his concentration still on the food.

"Well, I thought that maybe I can call someone to take a boat over here, I dont know the coordinates but maybe I can just listen to Murdoc's first radio broadcast, I think he said out loud once. Or maybe I could call a friend who's a bigger Gorillaz fan and ask for the coordinates. And maybe a boat..." her voice drifted off and so did her mind, thinking of the happenings of the first day.

"Maybe," Brooke snapped out of her trance as Russel spoke once more. "Do you know anyone who could?"

"Ehh... Not really, but maybe I could find out who was the guy who took Murdoc here when he was looking for somewhere to hide from the pirates." Brooke grinned at this; hiding from the pirates would've been something the evil man would deny even if it was true.

"'Kay, then," Russel said distractedly. Brooke, realizing that he wasnt paying attention, stood and lifted her arms from the counter and walked away towards the lift, pushed the button for the entrance and walked out to the shore. She started walking around silently, looking at the ground when she noticed something in the distance. Brooke squinted, trying to focus her eyes on the shape and gasped as she recognized it. It was a boat.

"Yes!" Brooke shouted and ran to the other side of the shore. Her waiting was finally over, they were here.

xXxXxXx

The Gorillaz were all sitting in the Study Room, 2D and Noodle talking about some random song or another, Murdoc sipping a glass of rum with the Cyborg next to him, and Russel was just sitting in one of the leather seats, thinking of what to do about the drum beat in the next possible song.

"Anyone o' you seen the little pest anywhere?" Murdoc asked out of the blue.

"Well, now that I think about it, I haven't seen her in a while," Noodle answered, raising her mask so they could see her face.

"I haven't seen her since this morning. We were talkin' about what she might do to leave," Russel said, moving his eyes away from the window.

"'Bout time!" Murdoc said. "She's been ere for too long and I can't stand it when she starts babbling in Spanish." The Satanist then stood and moved over so he was standing in front of the large window. "Hope she finds a way to leave 'cuz if she-" he paused when he noticed a boat docked at the shore. "Wha' the fuck? Why's there a boat docked ou' there?"

Everyone else except for the Cyborg stood and looked out the window; indeed there was a white boat docked at the bright pink shore.

Murdoc immediately stomped inside the lift, the Cyborg automatically following him and they went down, forcing the others to wait for their chance to leave.

Murdoc grumbled obscenities the short time it took for the lift to take them down to the entrance. "If I find ou' she was the one who fuckin' invited whoever's on tha' boat and not to take get rid o' 'er..." he let his words hang in the air, the threat evident in his voice.

Once the metal doors opened, Murdoc ran outside, stopped and stared. On the shore there were three dark forms, one of which he recognized as Brooke from the odd shape of one shadow's head which he guessed was because of her ears. Two of the shapes were running around, chasing each other and the other was sitting at the shore. Murdoc snarled and starting marching over to the shore with the Cyborg behind him.

"I'm gonna kill tha' little bitch!"
