Chapter 11

She woke up another two days later only this time with a killer headache.

"Ow, my head."

She noticed the, celling fan above them. It wasn't going the world around them was still as normal. But she didn't remember having a ceiling fan in the RV.

"Where am I?"

"At a farm in Muswellbrook," Agent One said. Passing her and an open bottle of water. "We had been running out of food. So, we figure we go to a farm. It's not a forever spot this farm only has grapes."

She was in a small wooden room. She noticed a ring of chairs and the bed she was sitting on wasn't a bed, but a desk. There was an old chalk board behind her even her school wasn't that old fashion.

"Is this a school?" Violet asked.

"Close enough," Agent One said. "Smith said it's a farm a higher school user to teach kids. There are animals here too, but there all frozen like everything else. No, sign of the twins let though nor any mind worms. Smith can't get into contact with any Agents though."

Because they we're all dead, Violet thought. Dead or taking to the location where the other Agents we're.

Then she remembered Golden Eyes.

"Does she care?"

"Eh?"

"Smith, does Smith care?"

"Of course, she does. Where did you get that idea dear?"

"I don't know," Violet lied. "I was just wondering why we haven't done anything."

"Because you keep fainting on the spot that's why," Agent Smith said. The sound of her high heels tapping onto the wooden floor with Neddy following behind her. "The moment you stop becoming a hazard is the moment we can actually hop into action."

"My friend not a hazard," Neddy defended. Only to squeak the moment Agent Smith turned to glare at him.

"Maybe not on a good day, but if she keeps fainting the way she does than she won't be useful too anyone if we just go into battle. Now, would we?"

She did make a point. If Violet collapsed in a battle with the twins or the mind worms Neddy would likely try to save her. And, then he would likely get killed with her.

"Just go easy on her Smith. She's still healing," Agent One said.

"And, how long will healing take? Agents are still missing the world is frozen and I've been wearing the same dress for a week."

"Come to think of it. We would actually need to get clean clothes. There's a shop near here?" Agent one asked.

"I supposed we can be thankful for the fact that water still runs. I call that luck," Agent Smith splat out.

"Please, can't we go shopping?" Neddy asked. "We've been here days."

"We have not been here for days," Agent Smith reminded Neddy.

"It feels like days. Beside we're not doing anything we've lost contact with the rest of Agents around the world and we will buy you another red dress."

"And, how will you buy another red dress? When the workers behind the counter is frozen like everything else?"

"Did I say buy? I meant totally steal."

They did do that before when the world was frozen and, in the town, they had recently been in they just walked into a shop to get what they wanted and walked out. There was no use paying anyway. Banks weren't working, nor we're any of their cards and there was nobody to hand their cash too.

"Please?" Neddy said.

"Fine. But only for two hours. Got it?"

"Got it," Neddy said looking to Violet with closed eyes he smiled. "Come on Violet."

"Oh, no not the wheelchair again."

It was far too late because Neddy picked her up and plucked her down into the wheelchair and she went down the ramp out the footpath and out the gate with Agent One tagging along.

It was from this point on that Violet decided she really, really, really liked walking.
