Growing Flowers

Chapter 4-Stuck in Oblivion

I was walking down the street with a fast paste, holding flyers as I was trying to get people's Attention. some were walking past my while some were being late to get on a double decker bus. I still tried my best with faith. I stood there, looking around as I rushed over to the diner which was  closed today but I can see flunky working. I saw as it was about to rain again with much darker skies. I ran over, holding my purple hat while I'm being soaked as I knock on the door in a hurry as Flunky stared as he walked over, unlocking it. Flunky looked at me, his green hair tie dye was still shone "hi ruby (he said in a tired voice)"what do ya need? "He asked.

I can't get over the fact that flunky now sounds kind after getting too much hereness from a can of coke. though, Flunky has been seen many doctors in his lifetime, so I guess that's why he has to go to get a checkup to make sure he is alright. Flunky allowed me in as there was a thunderstorm pounding on the ceiling like a firework. it was pretty nice in here with red coverings and the booths which shine through the lights above.  I remember having a tiny, small light toy which helps see in the dark, but I ended up giving that to a child. I walked in there, wearing a comfy cozy jacket and still wearing my clothing but with a dark red to add the tone. I like to change outfits sometimes. Flunky closed the door from behind as he was chewing on a toothpick as he was still wearing his clothes but took off that apron. I sat on one of the booths as it was raining badly out. flunky decided to sit across from me.

I wonder how flunky dealt with anything, maybe scrubo leaves him alone or something? Flunky stared at me, still chewing a brown like toothpick in his mouth "alright ruby, you can ask me now (he looked at me) I can sense dread within him, he's always been staring at everyone while chewing on a toothpick for half an hour. Flunky has always been a good friend towards us but sometimes he gets picky on things.

I sat there, dead silent. I know I have to tell flunky in a nice manner instead of acting cranky. I sighed, "I can't find my husband, redder anywhere. I've been trying so fuckin hard to get those people's attention. they aren't working. "I had an angry tone down in my throat. I get I am angry; you can't change someone who's mad to be happy. Flunky sipped on his drink quietly, with cars passing by each other.

Flunky placed the drink down, quietly. "So, none of the other people have stopped and look at your flyer, right? "He asked. I sat there, upright with my back against the booth. i was upset. not to at flunky but rather Scrubo himself. he sighed, "sometimes people are so addicted. but look, where was he last seen though? "Flunky asked. His voice wasn't suspicious at all. He was just tried in a way.

I stared, "i remember waking up in the morning, just seeing him gone. i thought he ran away or met at this diner but NO! I tried, so hard to look for him. no luck at all. hank wouldn't help either because he's catching criminals. "I kind of start to pull half of my hair out already as Flunky watched, concerned and spooked. "Look, without him, I have nobody. nobody I can trust. "I asked him. Flunky gave me a worried stare.

Flunky sat there, thinking. "Alright. I'll give you advice. Scrubo watches everyone from hell, he only goes after people that be afraid within them. the more you show fear, the more he'll get to you. you don't end up waiting to be dead or missing, Scrubo, he just like to watch people suffer. besides, be careful out there, ok?"he asked, smiling as I smiled as I stood up, walking to the exit as I walked back in the rain again to go over skier's home. I knock on his door as he came out, wearing pajamas and brushing his teeth.

"Ruby! welcome! what can I do for you? "He asked still in his old man voice. I stood there, relief. it was still pouring outside, there was loud crackling thunder coming our way. "Come on inside, you're getting cold by this rain. "He asked as I walked in as I saw. skier's wife was cleaning as she saw me came in without redder as she stopped, dropping the plates as I sat on the couch. she sat Infront of me on a puffy cushion. skier went back on refixing a pipe downstairs.

"You got to help me. redder has been missing for a day, I can't find him nor in his house. please, don't let him to suffer. "I whispered as skier's wife looked at me, she still has pink hair with grey hair as she was getting older. she was wearing an apron with poodles on it. she sighed. "I swear I can slap that bitch in the face, no use of how strong I am."I sighed.

"I don't know what to say ruby, Scrubo you know. he's stronger and powerful. "She asked as she gets up, getting a box out as she pulls out a necklace and a wire. "This is what I found from the crime scene couple years ago, he likes to torture us people. to come to his games to kill them. "She asked quietly.

I sat there, getting paranoid. "What can I do? he's a fuckin demon, there's no other way I can find him. "I asked as skier's wife stared at me. Skier was finished as he pulled the cookies from the oven as it smells wonderful. I have my hands underneath my chin slightly as skier's wife stared at me with a sigh look. giving that she must have dealt with this situation before.

"How about this ruby, I'll call the police for you, in the meantime get some nice sleep. "She asked as I nodded. I smiled but then frowned as I know that nobody around Britain wanted to talk about Scrubo ever. maybe guardian angel is right. she hates it when someone keep saying his name nonstop. skier came in with a plate of cookies as I took one as he smiled with his white beard shining through the car headlights outside. I trust these two. they helped me more than ever. I nodded to her again as she waved at me as I grabbed my purse as skier waved back as well. even if they didn't give me the best evidence, they are still lovely neighbors for us.

I walked out running down to our home as I walked in, drying off with the water all over me. i throw the purse on the table on the table in the kitchen as I laid on the couch and closed my eyes on the comfy pillows on me as I took a nap. still crying over I can't find redder nearly anywhere. as sleeping now, I could hear the door opening creakily but I couldn't tell if I was having a sleep paralysis or even dreaming. There were two footsteps coming in as it. was ware and Wol as they came in. Wol smells through as it was strawberry throughout the home as he was holding a net "come on ware, we got to grabbed Redders wife. maybe she is important after all? "he smiled as ware stared at him, sighing.

Wol walked as he stopped as he glanced over by where i am sleeping. very loudly. Wol stared as he cracked his shoulders and fingers as he smiled. he raised his net in the air as Ware watched as he was biting his fingers nervously as Wol, without hesitation released the net onto myself in a hurry. of course, I was asleep and didn't know if there was happening towards me. Wol had me in the huge net thingy as he tied it like a black bag. he looked back at ware "found the lucky shot. "He whispered, putting a thumbs up as Ware sighed.

"You sure Wol, why not we get out of Scrubos hurtful way. that way we don't have to deal with his pure angriness he's got. "Were asked as Wol stood there in silence with a mean stare. Were is his brother.

"Fuck no Were, if I can careless if I needed too than that's the problem with you. "He shouted. "Now, stop fucking being terrified about everything and let's get going! "He shouted as Ware nodded, sighing as he followed Wol out of the door, closing it from behind as it was now quiet outside. the whole house was silent, nothing was made. the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen were quiet. not everything is silent. not anymore. I felt my breathing already stopped with every inch of my voice faded away. But I don't feel my voice anymore.
