My Hero Eyeball Chambers

Forget about the cobras.

Ophelia couldn't stop herself. She knew she shouldn't but she just couldn't stop it. The words were coming.

"The cops are coming for Ace and Eyeball tomorrow, most likely the other cobras too." The words blurted from her mouth.

"What?!" Eyeball almost shouted at her before he calmed instantly, seeing her flinch backwards.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to shout." He quickly said, as he was about to start pleading.

"It's okay. I don't know if they're 100% sure it's the cobras or whether it's just to question them or arrest them but it's tomorrow."

Eyeball nodded slowly as he ran a hand through his hair.

"You believe me it's not them right?" He asked her, turning back to face her.

She nodded slowly. "Somewhat. From what I've heard the cobras are pretty danger-"

Eyeball grabbed her face in his hands.

"No no you have to trust and believe me. It wasn't them. No matter what you hear or anything, it really wasn't them!"

She nodded slowly. This guy really cares about the cobras being proved innocent. Like really really really cared.

"Why do you care about them so much?" She asked quietly.

Eyeball quickly let go off her face and leant back in his seat.

"You really need to get home." He mumbled.

"But why won't you tell me why you care-"

"Ophelia just forget about the cobras!" He snapped at her.

She slunk back from him. Watching him sit in silence as she reached out and opened the car door. She climbed out and bent down to him.

"You're fucking welcome." She snapped back at him as she stood up and slammed his car door shut.

Huffing to herself she stormed up back towards herself. Xavier didn't want to talk to her about the cobras. Richard now wanted her to forget about the cobras. That big red button she was told not to press was getting bigger and bigger.

She didn't even want to turn around and see him drive off as she reached her home and practically slammed the door shut.

"Ophelia!" She heard her father shout from the kitchen.

Sighing she strolled in and faced him sat at the kitchen table, he put his newspaper down and looked up at her confused.

"What did the door ever do to you?" He asked jokily.

She smiled weakly at him and walked over and sat next to him, gently resting her head on the table.

"I'm sorry. Just a little annoyed."

He reached out and gently brushed the hair from her face.

"What's up princess?" He asked softly.

She sighed, she knew if anyone would know about the cobras it would also be her father. His work was always talking him down to Castle Rock and back.

"Dad..." she mumbled as she looked up at him from her spot still laying her head on the table.

He nodded slowly.

"Have you heard of the cobras?" She asked quietly.

Fear and worry flooded his face.

"You haven't been attacked have you? They haven't touched you have they?" Questions came flying from his mouth.
