What's going on?
Chapter 2
Frank's POV
I sat up, stretching and yawning. We were still in the car and it was getting a bit lighter. The girl we had found yesterday was asleep, lying on my shoulder. I didn't want to wake her up, so I didn't. Gerard was still driving. He had dark circles under his eyes, and was yawning a lot.
"Want me to take over, you need sleep."
"No I don't," he said, yawning.
"Yeah, no. You do."
"And if you drive you'll end up killing us."
"There's nothing to hit out here!"
Grard sighed ans stopped the car. I gently moved the girl, whose name we still didn't know, so that she was leaning on Ray. He didn't seem to notice, and neither did she. Gerard and I swapped places and I started the car. Driving out here was strangely relaxing, and I quite liked the peace and quiet. We didn't know where we were driving to, the girl had just said to keep driving. She seemed to know a lot more about what was going on than us, so we weren't in a position to argue.
After a while, Mikey and Ray woke up. Ray seemed a bit confused when he saw the girl lying on his shoulder, but he didn't disturb her.
"I thought Gerard was driving..." Mikey said, rubbing his eyes and cleaning his glasses.
"He was, but he looked like he was going to crash so we swapped."
"Oh."
"Do either of you two know the girls' name?"
"No, she never told us."
"We'll need to find out, just to make things easier."
"We might in a minute, she's waking up." Ray said, and we heard her yawn loudly.
"Jesus! Where are we?"
"Good morning to you too(!) We drove all night, just like you said."
"Turn around. NOW."
"Why?"
"Because, in case you didn't notice, there's a great big building RIGHT THERE with the BL/ind logo plastered all over it."
"Shit." I made a u-turn and drove away as fast as I could. We were in the desert, speed limits didn't exist, did they?
"Do you think they'll find us?" Mikey thought aloud.
"Maybe, maybe not. This car, I told Party Poison to decorate it the same as my old one."
"What do you mean, old one?"
"I... The people I were with before, they got killed. Another group stole the car, and I jumped out. I didn't trust them, they looked at me the wrong way."
"Hang on, how long has this BL/ind stuff been going on?"
"Six months." "We were out for SIX MONTHS?!" Ray asked, looking confused.
"Sounds like it."
"Hey, what's your name, anyway?"
"I've had 3. My original name, my first Killjoy name and my second."
"Why did you change them?"
"If you ever get separated from a group, you should change your name."
"Why?"
"In case they rat you out. Rumours travel out here, though you hardly see anyone."
"Well, what is it now?"
She thought for a moment before saying "Triple Defy."
"Because you evaded BL/ind 3 times?"
"Yeah."
Triple Defy's POV
After about another hour of driving, I said we could stop the car.
"They would have us by now. Besides, we need to check the car."
"For what?"
"Bugging. BL/ind have this device in random parts of the ground and they can spring up and latch onto a car or a bag or something. And I really need to pee. Wake Party Poison up, the bugs can be easily missed."
"What do they look like?" Kobra Kid asked.
"Like a metal four-legged spider, with a white eye. They don't move, but if you hit all four legs at the same time they fall off. Stamp on any you get and dump them in that little pool of water."
"What? Why didn't you mention the water at first?"
"Testing you. We are out in the desert, you might want to start observing more."
I walked away and relieved myself behind a small bush. When I got back to the car I could see a pair of feet sticking out from under the car. Kobra Kid rolled back out on a skateboard they had found. "Can't see one, your turn Fun Ghoul."
None of them had any luck, but when I rolled under I saw one stuck onto the back of one of the tyres. It must have been launched diagonally, which was pretty smart. I poked the legs and it sprang (Is that a word?) off the tyre and onto my hand. I rolled back out and stamped on it, hard. I picked the thing apart, and walked around the pool of water, dropping the pieces in. I circled back around to the group.
"And that is how you do that." I said, taking a water filter and bottle out of my bag. I filtered water into all the water bottles we had, which was 10. I twould have to do, because just then about 10 Droids came out from behind a shack. I pulled out my gun.
"Guys, shoot at them, NOW!" I cried, taking one down. Out of the corner of my eye I saw jets of light flying towards the Droids. Another 3 fell. The remaining 6 shot at us right back, and one narrowly missed Jet-Star.
"In the car, now!" Fun Ghoul yelled, and we all dived in, the tyres squealing as Party Poison drove off.
"Well that was fun."
