Adorable Death and the Hamster Pants

by Lucy Louis Lee

When Adorable Death wakes up, she can't remember a thing. But she discovers a family in a gang, and her morals have changed. She needs to get them out, alive, before the police or Batman land them all in jail. But how can one girl save a city that's crumbling?

8. Chapter 8

AN: *sings crappily off-key* This entire chapter is crap and filleeeeeeeerrrrrrr!

She found Dwarf sitting at the same cafe with another girl, with short wavy red hair. Three days of endless searching and her siblings were nowhere to be found.

"We're not supposed to talk to you." Dwarf said immediately when Death approached.

"Then don't." She sat down at a table next to them, picking up the menu. "I'm just going to sit here."

It had only been ten minutes of Dwarf fidgeting around nervously until he shouted "OK!", causing the people around them to look at them suspiciously. When they resumed their own conversations, Dwarf lowered his voice. "I'll tell you. Crazy 8 has them at Pier 64, but it's locked and monitored. You can't get in."

The girl glared at him. "What?! I don't wanna die, by Crazy 8 or Adorable Death." Death looked at her. She had never seen this girl before, but she assumed she was another Hamster Pants authority figure of some sort.

"I'm Virus." The girl said when she caught Death staring. "Dwarf's kept me up to date on this ridiculous mess. First of all, you are batshit crazy. You just sarificed yourself to twenty people and frankly, I'd be surprised you're still alive, but you're Adorable Death so whatever. Second of all-" She paused, taking a huge breath. "I'm willing to help you."

"What." Death and Dwarf exclaimed at the same time. Virus nodded.

"I can hack the monitors, it's my whole job." Virus explained. "Besides, Crazy 8 locks up almost everyone in there."

"That's great, but what about the fact that it's locked?" Death asked. "I am not an expert lock picker."

"That's right." Virus snapped her fingers. "Approximately 90% of your memory is still missing. Two more weeks and I'm going to start pushing you into the ocean to see if they come back."

Death glared at her, not unlike the one Virus had shot Dwarf earlier. "Ok, ok, I know where the key is. You're going to have to get it yourself though."

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Adorable Death sighed. She just wanted her family back and out of this mess. Virus grinned.

"You know how Boner Cat's collar jingles with no bell?"

All Death could think of was "Oh, hell no."

AN: Whatever you're thinking the next chapter will be about, you are wrong. Get your mind out of the gutter, geez. I'm actually putting depth into characters, shut up.
