The Mind Electric (A Chester X Parker fic)

Chapter 15: White Lies

"DUDE, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?!"

Chester finally catches his breath after laughing for seven straight minutes, wiping tears from his eyes.

"Uhhhh...I don't know, catch them? If they can barley walk then obviously SOMEONE is gonna help them before us." Chester exclaims.

"Well can Narc track them down or something?! We can't just let them kill our entire neighborhood!" Parker snarls at the thought of even LOOKING at Narc again after everything they've did.

"Probably? I mean, if they can follow a corpse scent, then they could probably follow an alive one." Chester mumbles, opening the fridge to grab literally anything eatable.

"Yeah...yeah! That's right! So all we need to do is hope that thing doesn't kill anybody in..." Parker stops to look at the wall clock, "twelve hours!"

....
Oh dear god.
That's a long time until it's dark out...

"Alright, Perfect! So...let's just wait for night to come." Chester smiles, flopping onto the couch with an apple in his hand.

"Let's do this!"

An hour passes....

"OH MY GOD THIS IS GOING TO TAKE FOREVER!" Parker groans, sitting up from the couch.

"Dude, chill...."

"NO! What if they've already killed somebody?! We're basically murderers at that point!" Parker frowns. There's no way in hell the two of them could survive in jail.

"Parker, you do realize that literally SO many people have died because of us already. Like...there's video proof that we have ran away from dozens of monsters in the past and have left millions of girls do die." Chester deadpans, narrowing his eyes at Parker.

.....
"Uh....oops?"

"Yeah, I really don't know why people still email us." Chester mumbles.

"Well I still don't want you going to prison. I know damn well you wouldn't last a day behind bars." Parker scoffs.

"Wow! Okay, dude. I'm so happy to know that my boyfriend thinks I would literally die if I stepped foot into a jail cell." Chester huffs, moving over a seat away from him.

"Nooo, come back. It was a joke!" Parker fake cries, trying to reach for him.

"Your jokes SUCK!" Chester spits.

"You suck!"

"Well technically we both suck."

"SHUT UP!"

Another hour goes by....

Parker was looking through emails while Chester was off doing god knows what.

Everything really was slow today...none of the emails seemed interesting enough to make a video out of.

Maybe he should get a part time job somewhere...

Well, he totally would if it wasn't for Chester and his little...friend. Parker wouldn't even call Narc a friend, they're more like a fiend if anything.

They've caused nothing but trouble, and now the anticipation of trying to stop a monster that THEY have revived is killing him.

Would they even find that thing, or was it too late? If he's lucky enough, maybe it got hit by a car or something...

No, no...if it got hit then it would most likely be on the news. There's no way a monster like that could be mistaken for a deer or anything else.

He was so focused on coming up with the perfect plan, he didn't even realize he was practically stomping his foot in anxiousness.

Soon enough, Chester walks into the room, annoyed as anyone would be.

"Dude, could you stop making so much noise? I'm trying to take a nap!" He groans, rubbing his eyes.

Then, unfortunately for Chester's ears....
an amber alert goes off on Parker's phone.

"GAH! OH, COME ON!" Chester whines, covering his ears.

"Sorry, sorry! I'll put my phone on silent-"
Before Parker finished his sentence, he reads the alert message.

It seems that people in their town are going missing left and right...

Along with the vandalism of a few graveyards.
