7:30 found us sitting in a restaurant, Noodle had dozed off on me and 2D was staring out the window. I had managed to nick a few fags from a passerby and was happily dragging on one. Dullard looked at me with his big dents and made a choking noise, pointing out the window.
"Wot is your problem two dents?" I murmured, annoyed.
"I-is fat a bus?" he said in a small voice. I peered out the window and swore loudly, standing up. That was our bus. Noodle was jarred awake and she didn't even have time to give a startled cry, I grabbed her wrist and began running out the diner.
"Tienes que pagar por su comida, señor!" the waiter shouted but I ignored him and only looked over my shoulder to insure Ache-Face was following.
"What's going on!" Noodle yelped as I scooped her up and ran faster. I didn't have enough breath to answer her as I began coughing. My shoulder was screaming in protest as I sped down the street towards the vehicle.
The bus was getting nearer when I saw it's doors close. "NO!" I screamed at it. "NO NO NO NO!" I yelled in vain, watching it begin to move. I stopped running, putting Noods down and gasping loudly for air. "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!" I swore. Noodle had finally made the connection to what was happening and she began to run towards the bus before it could make it too far. I watched her long legs move faster than mine ever could with a dull sense of admiration.
2D stopped alongside me and collapsed, sputtering and coughing up black bits. I looked at him darkly before focusing on Noodle again, the bus was gone and she was standing in the middle of the street, frantically shouting at it. She turned and began walking back to us with tears in her eyes.
"It's gone." She cried. "It's the only one to Belize for another three weeks." She wailed. I winced at her tears and stood up, taking a steady breath and turning my eyes to the street. There was a man getting out of his Jeep a few feet away and I strode over to him.
"Necesito el coche." I said to him he looked at me, surprised, his moustache twitching.
"Quién es usted?" he said, irritated. I pulled out the stolen wallet and waving the bills in front of his face. He chuckled and looked around them to examine my face. "You're not from around here are you?" he asked in a thick accent.
"No I'm not." I replied cooly. "But I need teh ge' teh Belize an' you're in my way, so I can take yer car and you can take the money or I can the car and leave you sprawlin' on yer ass in this soddy street. It's up to you Pedro." He was quite taken aback and scrunched his eyebrows together.
"Repugnante demonio!" he spat. I smiled at him, showing off my pointed teeth and pressed the money into his hands.
"Gracias amigo." I replied sweetly, turning to my band mates. "Get in." I ordered. They were hesitant at first but I glared at them. "Well COME ON!" I barked. 2D sighed and motioned for Noodle to follow. She delicately went forward and I offered her my hand to help her step in.
"Yo debería tener este contacto con usted en unos tres días su compañero." I directed this to the angry man he shook his fist at me as I turned the ignition and sped away, smirking at his cries.
"AYUDA! Me han robado!" He shouted out down the street, causing heads to turn and watch our progress as we turned the corner and disappeared from their line of sight.
