The Human Hearted Imp

Chapter 90: The Musical Escape

Later that night, at the junkyard, Barbie and Randall peek out and look to see the large warehouse a short distance away.

"Do you think they're in there?" Barbie asks.

"I think so," Randall says.

Randall then takes out his telescope and looks around. However, he can't see anyone.

"Fuck, there doesn't seem to be any windows here," Randall says.

"We should get closer," Barbie says.

"Yeah, but we need to be careful. Crimson's goons could be inside, along with Crimson and Striker," Randall says.

The two then sneak towards the building and look around for a window. Barbie soon sees one and can't seem to get in because it's boarded up from the inside.

"Rats, we can't sneak in through this way," Randall says.

"So what do we do then?" Barbie questions.

"Hmm, it's risky, but we might be able to sneak in if..." Randall says.

Suddenly, right on cue the two hear a noise and look to see a couple of goons are walking out. A few shark demons walk out to have a round look around the area. Randall recognizes one of them, takes Barbie's hand, and makes himself and Barbie invisible.

Randall says to himself in thought, "I know that guy, that's the shark demon that's with Crimson. So he was here after all."

Randall looks to see the last shark out and leaves the door open. Randall turns to Barbie and gestures his head to follow. Barbie understands and nods her head. Then the two head inside before the demon closes the door.

In the cage of the warehouse, Fizzarolli and Blitz struggle to escape their imprisonment. Sadly, the ropes and tapes are too difficult for them to break.

"Sheesh. They really had us tied up tight," Blitz says.

"No kidding," Fizzarolli says, "Last time I checked, I was a fucking jester, NOT an escape art-" and causes himself to get zapped due to rubbing his hands together on his wrap. He shoots up, his head indents the cage, and he falls back down.

"Are you okay?" Blitz asks, worried.

Fizzarolli sniffles in pain, "No... I just wanna go home..." and is on the verge of tears.

"Don't worry Fizz, we'll get out of here somehow," Blitz says.

He then has an idea and says, "Look Fizz, I understand that you're scared, but the only way we're going to get out of this is to work together."

Fizzarolli sits up and says, "I suppose you're right. What do we do?"

"First, we need to get this blindfold off of me," Blitz says.

"Oh right. We should have done that sooner," Fizzarolli says. He then uses his tail and removes the blindfold.

"Thanks," Blitz says.

He then asks, "Are Crimson and Striker still gone?"

"Yeah. They haven't gone back for a while," Fizzarolli says.

"Good," Blitz says.

Blitz then places his feet on the ground and raises his right foot to extract a knife from under his shoe.

Fizzarollis is dumbfounded, "You had a knife this whole time?!"

"Yeah. I needed to get the blindfold off, and had to make sure Striker and Crimson weren't around. It's a good thing Moxxie, Millie, and Randall taught me to hide weapons in places like this," Blitz says, cutting the tape off his hands.
