An Average Life: Resort

Part 2

Rocky was sitting in the passenger seat when she felt her phone buzz. She looked at the screen and saw a text from Servo.

'what resort are you staying at?'

Rocky typed back.

'Six Springs. Why?'

'dont be alarmed but the basement is flooded and theres a potentially dangerous criminal in the building ehos after earth rock'

Rocky sighed, and rubbed her temples.

'*whos' typed Servo.

'I got that' Replied Rocky. 'What can I do to help?'

'Stay alert in case you at needed'

'Copy that'

Rocky put her phone back into her pocket, and looked over at Sienna, who was driving.

"Something wrong?" She asked.

"N-No." Replied Rocky. "Just.. tired."

"Maybe have another nap?" Suggested Emma.

"I've already taken like.. three."

"A fourth couldn't hurt."

Chris chuckled.

"You're usually asleep by now on long trips like this." He said. "What's keeping you up?"

"Uhhh.. I drank a Pepsi before getting in the car." Stammered Rocky.

"But you like coke." Said Emma. "You said it yourself, coke is the superior soda."

"I mean.. It might've been Coke.. I don't know, I'm tired, okay?"

She laid back in her seat and closed her eyes, unsure if she was actually trying to sleep, or just pretending to.

Meanwhile, Servo and Grace walked into the training room, and looked around. Skylar was stretching while Citrus and Ripple were kicking punching bags.

"Attention!" Called Grace.

"We're listening." Replied Ripple, still kicking.

Servo looked to Skylar, who didn't look to be very active at the moment.

"What are you doing?" They asked.

"Stretching." Replied Skylar. "I don't like to start exercising without loosening up first."

"Loser." Said Ripple.

She went to kick the punching bag, but missed, spun in a circle, and fell on the floor. She looked up at Skylar sheepishly.

"Sorry.."

Grace cleared her throat.

"There's a situation at Six Springs resort." She said. "We were sent by Rome to investigate. They know we're coming. I'll explain on the way. For now, everyone get ready. We're not sure what to expect."

Skylar began grabbing her weapons, while Citrus and Ripple started suiting up. Servo looked to Grace.

"Do you think this is related to Glen?" They asked.

"How could it be?" Replied Grace.

"I mean, what if they somehow knew Rocky was going there, and so when we went to investigate, he or whoever is helping him plans to take us all out?"

Grace thought about it for a moment.

"Go question him." She said. "I'll get everyone on a helicopter."

Servo nodded, and began walking out of the room.

"Hanger B!" Called Grace.

"Got it!" Replied Servo.

Grace turned back to Skylar, Citrus and Ripple.

"Everyone arm yourselves." She said. "Meet me in hangar B."

"We know." Said Citrus. "We heard you."

Grace huffed and left the room. Skylar laughed.

"You should be careful with that mouth of yours." She said to Citrus. "She might get mad and decide to bite back."

"That's just Citrus being Citrus." Said Ripple.

Citrus zipped up her suit.

"How do I look?" She asked.

"With your eyes." Replied Ripple.

"Huh?"

Skylar snickered.
