An Average Life: Resort

Part 13

Rocky ran up all flights of stairs and made it to the last floor. She looked through the window of the stairwell door and saw Servo and Dexter both having a shootout in the hallway, using whatever objects they could find to duck behind.

"I gotta do something.."

Rocky looked at the taser Citrus had given her.

'30 ft range'

She looked back to Dexter. She thought about shocking him, but worried that it wouldn't slow him down and would only make him mad. Still, she decided to try. She kicked the door open, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

*CRACK!*

Dexter groaned and fell forward Servo looked up from their hiding place.

"Did I do that?-"

Servo saw Rocky and smiled.

"Holy shit, that was awesome!" They said.

They two ran up to each other and hugged.

"Thanks for saving me! I mean, not that I needed it."

"Sure thing." Replied Rocky.

Servo held the remote up to Rocky.

"This controls the bombs in the building." They said. "And it has the ability the freeze me. Destroy it, do whatever with it, I don't care."

Rocky took the remote and put it in her pocket. She was about to speak, when she was interrupted by another gunshot.

*BANG*

Dexter shot the fire sprinkler that was directly above them, causing water to start pouring down on them. He tried to shoot them while they were distracted, but he was out of ammo.

"SHIT!"

He got up and shoved them out of the way, heading for his helicopter. Rocky and Servo watched him, and immediately started chasing after him.

"GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" Shouted Servo.

More sprinklers started activating after the first was shot. Rocky ran full speed and grabbed onto Dexter's shirt collar.

"LET GO YOU RUNT!"

He punched her in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her. Servo ran up, and Dexter hit them in the head with his pistol. They fell to the ground and started rebooting as he ran off towards the direction of his helicopter. Rocky looked up weakly.

"N-No.." She groaned.

She turned to Servo. Their screen said 'rebooting' in small green letters.

"HURRY UP, WILL YOU?!"

After spending a long time trying to get the door to the roof open, Skylar, Sienna, Emma and Chris all got to the helicopter.

"There it is." Said Skylar. "Now, do what all families do best and destroy shit!"

Everyone was silent.

"Sorry, I thought it'd be funny."

Chris grabbed a brick and threw it at the window of the helicopter. It bounced off, and didn't make a scratch.

"What the-"

He grabbed the brick and tried forcefully pounding it into the windscreen as hard as he could.

"Looks like it's bullet proof." Said Emma.

"Doesn't mean it's not BRICK PROOF!" Replied Chris, still trying to break the glass.

Skylar contemplated shooting it but worried that the bullet might bounce back. As they tried to find ways to destroy the helicopter, they grew tired and eventually gave up.

*BANG*

Dexter kicked the door open and aimed his pistol at Skylar, as she was the only one who was armed. Dexter, of course, had no ammo, but Skylar didn't know this.

"Stay away from the chopper." Said Dexter.

"You stay away from carbs, hon." Replied Skylar. "Look at your figure, they go right to your thighs."

Dexter growled angrily, but didn't shoot. Skylar realized this.

"How about we trade helicopters?" She said. "We get in this one, and you take our crappy beat up one in the parking lot."

Just then, Servo and Rocky walked up. Rocky was limping, and Servo's display was flickering.

"Give up, Dexter!" Said Servo. "We have you surrounded!"

"Yeah!" Added Rocky.

Servo leaned closer to Rocky.

"Don't.. don't do that." They whispered.

Dexter looked around. He was blocked from leaving by Servo and Rocky, he couldn't get into his helicopter, and he had no ammo.

"Fine." He said, putting his hands up. "I surrender."

He dropped his gun on the ground.

"Good." Said Skylar. "Now kick the gun away."

Dexter groaned and kicked the gun towards Skylar. She picked it up, and looked inside the chamber.

"Empty." She said.

She lowered her pistol to get handcuffs out of her back holster. She was distracted. Dexter ran over to Rocky and shoved her to the ground. He reached into her hoodie pocket, pulled out the remote, and turned back around to face everyone else.

"ROCKY!" Called Chris.

"NOBODY MOVE!" Shouted Dexter.

Skylar stared Dexter down hatefully.

"This is your fault." Called Servo.

"HOW?!" Replied Skylar

"Now that I have everyone's attention.. I have the ability to bring this entire building to the ground and unless you want that to happen, I suggest you all step aside and let me get on my helicopter."

Skylar stared at Dexter. Then she looked at Rocky. Rocky winked.

"Okay." Said Skylar.

She slowly lowered her pistol and let Dexter pass her. He opened the helicopter door, and sat in the driver's seat. The blades started spinning, and the craft began to hover off the ground.

"BEFORE I GO!" Called Dexter. "LET ME LEAVE YOU WITH A LITTLE 'FAIRWELL' GIFT!"

"YOU BASTARD!" Shouted Servo.

He held up the remote, and pressed the biggest red button.
