Declan waited outside the theater. He held two tickets in his right hand for the chosen movie. He gulped lightly a bit nervous end looked at his clock. Five o clock was fifteen minutes away. Suddenly a car came up and out of it came a sight that sent him into shock. Piper looked beautiful, her makeup was light so it didn't distort her features that he thought looked wonderful, the blue eye shadow seemed to make her eyes shine a bit more and she had a cheerful but shy smile on her face. Piper saw Declan quickly and he looked so handsome, his cloths were neat yet modern.
As she walked over to him, another woman came to her side a little taller than her, wearing a pink shirt with a butterfly and black pants, and shorter brown hair then hers. Declan decided this must of bean Piper's mother. They came up to him and he said nervously "Um hello piper, you look very, very nice." She couldn't help but smile at that and said "And you look very trendy." He blushed slightly at this.
He then looked to the other woman and said "Hello you must be Victoria, it's nice to meet you mam." The woman gave him a sort of calculated look but was cheerful as she said "It's nice to meet you to Declan." She had a friendly face on but she still seemed to be observing him, so far she seemed to approve. He thought 'Now I know how being interrogated by Aiden feels like.'
Suddenly a man came up, he was an inch taller them himself, he had brown hair as well and came up saying "Hey Richard Mayson nice to meet you." They both shook hand as Declan introduced himself and said "Um I bought the tickets for Piper and I." They both seemed to smile at this and then said they were going to go get their own tickets.
Piper and Declan stood there as they saw Piper's parents get in line. As they stood their Piper was the first to speak "So how's work going?" Declan jumped at that but said "Um okay I guess, I'm actually taken my vacation time now." "Oh really why?" "Just needed to get away from work for a while."
"Was it because of the incident?" He looked down saying "No not really I'm fine like I said, I just needed some time to, well…." How did you say you needed space from your brother to someone you barely knew. Well it was worth a shot "I needed to get some space from my brother." "Oh is everything okay?" he nodded saying "We just need to learn to be kind of apart from each other. We spent most of our lives together and it's good that we learn to be self-dependent."
She nodded saying "I get you. I'm usually alone. I'm pretty anti-social really." He smiled saying "You don't seem to be, well not to me….." She smiled saying "It depends if I like the person." He blush saying "And you like me?" She smirked saying "So far I do." He smiled back at that. Suddenly they heard Richard say "Come on you two the movies starting." They nodded and headed in, Declan rushed to open the door and she nodded with a "Thanks, not many gentlemen around these days." He blushed saying "Well my mother would have my head if I didn't." she chuckled at this as they headed towards their movie.
Aiden was very bored and frustrated. He had had to handle several emergencies or crimes today, which wasn't all bad since it gave him something to day, but he hadn't had a single duplo sighting all day and he was so sure they were close by. He needed a chair to kick. His hands gripped the steering wheel in frustration, he probably snap it in half. He was sure there be duplos here, what had he missed?
Suddenly he spotted the theater and something came to him. It was a populated area, there were many people and it was dark, a good place for duplos to hide. He wondered if that could be their next target. Suddenly another thought came to him, today was the day that movie Declan wanted to see came out. He knew that because he had been talking about it for weeks. He suddenly felt something heavy in his gut, was his brother there, right now, was he armed? No he was on his day off why would he, yet….? He shook it off.
He go check it out just to get that feeling out of him. And so he drove over to the movie theater. It didn't take long to get there, he didn't even need to buy a ticket, he flashed his badge and they knew he was there on business and not to watch a movie. He looked around, everything seemed fine so fare. Maybe in one of the rooms? He went around each room carefully, observing every detail that he could, trying to find a speck of yellow.
Declan was enjoying the movie, it was funny and entertaining for almost anyone. Piper seemed to be enjoying the movie as well and he smiled, glad he thought of something they both liked. As they movie went on though he thought he spotted something, was that a speck of yellow? His instincts heightened at this, he felt something heavy in his gut. He looked to Piper and said "We should go." She looked confused and asked "What's wrong?" "I'm not sure yet. I think I saw something yellow. And I got this feeling."
Piper seemed to understand this. She had heard that when you felt something like that, a sort of extra sense, you should listen. She looked around and became weary, suddenly she saw something scatter. She gasped and she nodded, she turned to her parents but her dad said "We heard. I feel something's in hear too. Let's go." Piper then said "What about everyone ells." Declan then said "making a panicked situation would only cause more trouble. We need to get out. I'll call the station and they'll be here soon, but first let's get you three out." They didn't waste time as they got up and hurried off.
Aiden had come out of another room without anything to show. He was about to almost give up on his search here when he saw Declan, Piper, and two other people come out. He rushed up to them and said "Declan what's wrong?" They looked shocked up to see Aiden and Declan said "Aiden what are you doing here?" "I told you I was checking out a place with duplo sighting. I had a gut feeling this might be a perfect place for their new mission. Plus I had a guess you be here." He raised a brow to show a little smugness at being right. Declan smiled sheepishly remembering telling his brothers for weeks he wanted to see this movie.
Victoria then said "They think it's in there." Aiden nodded when he heard screaming in there, suddenly a small round and stumpy four legged creature with big eyes came out. Victoria screamed at this and it growled. Declan and Aiden both brought their tasers' out and fired at it, it jumped out of the way though. Their training kicked in at that moment. Declan said "Pleas evacuate the building."
Aiden ran up to a fire alarm so everyone would get out. It didn't matter how small the duplo was they each had something deadly about them and they didn't want to risk any lives. People screamed and ran out of the building. Declan said "Hurry get out." The three family members nodded but Piper looked a bit worried as Declan ran off to join his brother on the chase. As the brothers ran after the creature people screamed and ran off. The duplo seemed to be ignoring some but seemed to chase after others, why it chose those people they didn't know? It seemed to keep changing its mind on its target though.
Aiden said "Why won't it make up its mind?" Declan then said "I don't know, maybe too many choices." He shot a taser once more but missed as the creature growled and suddenly grew. Declan said worried "How's it doing that?" Aiden then said "Don't know and don't care I just want it gone. Go and call for back up you're not protecting in that outfit. I didn't even think you bring your taser with you." Declan replied with a small smiled "Never leave home without it." Aiden smiled back at that, he then rushed off to capture the duplo.
Declan frowned with worry and went out to go call the station, maybe even some of the builders. Once done with his calls he wanted to rush back in but knew it be unwise without back up or at least a vest. He looked around as he waited and saw Piper and her family where stuck in the crowd of people he rushed to them and said "You have to get out of here that things getting bigger….." Suddenly the duplo now as big as an elephant crashed through the theater entrance and roared.
The people became more panicked rushed off, with this Piper and Declan got separated from Piper's parents. Piper yelled "Oh no, where are they!" Declan then aid "It's okay we'll find them let's stay calm." That's when the duplo's large eyes landed on the two. The same mad man behind the creature saw them and said "Well hello there, we meet again. Hmm, let's see what they'll do with you." The duplo roared once more and began to charge right at the two. People rushed away at this leaving the two in an opened field of concrete.
Declan felt fear rise up in him, he knew using his taser would not work on a creature this size and grabbed Piper's hand so they could run. But instead he felt her hand tighten on him, he turned to ask what was wrong when he saw it, the look in her eyes, the same intensity she had when she faced the first duplo. As much as his mind told him to run he stood his ground and asked "What are you doing?" Piper replied with "When two men were chased by an elephant they did not run, running triggers the mind to chase and hunt in carnivores, like this creature must be, but with the elephant it was because it was being territorial or untrusting. The men knew they couldn't outrun the elephant."
Piper was right they had no time to run and the creature could catch up them in no time with its speed. Declan held her hand and trusted her as he saw the creature with its final steps charge at them and asked "What did they do?" Piper then said as she continued to pray in her mind that this worked "They sat down and did nothing." Suddenly the duplo stopped. The creature roared lightly as it started backing up as if in fear, why did they not run away? This confused the creature greatly on what it was supposed to do.
The two stood their motionless and silent as the duplo kept backing up. Many people were shocked at this and took pictures and such. Piper then said once the creature was a far enough away for her liking "Then they slowly walked back to their car and drove away." Declan nodded and squeezed her hand in reassurance. Even though she was being brave, he could feel the shaking in her from the anxiety of the danger. And so they started walking away slowly and calmly. The creature stunningly began to start shrinking.
Aiden had been throwing tasers at the creature but the more he did so the more it dodged and the more it grew. His temper rose at this, where was that back up? He then saw something he could use and smiled. He went to the chairs he saw and kicked them at the creature. Bulls-eyes every time. Sadly that was a big mistake, for with every chair he hit it with the creature became larger.
Aiden's eyes grew at this, how was this possible and what could he do if kicking a chair at it didn't work? The creature got up and roared, now the size of an elephant. Aiden was growling at this as he got out his taser but the creature stomped its foot making a small plane decoration of the theater fall down on the cop bellow, Aiden looked up at this and it was the last thing he saw when everything went dark.
Pleas review.
