Radio Romance

Chapter 17: Unexpected Visitors (part 2)

   |(Y/N)'s POV|

          I waited in the lobby eagerly waiting for Husk to return. I'd been sitting with Angel and Pentious listening to Mimzy yammer on about herself nonstop for the past twenty minutes. My eye twitched at her annoying voice. Angel placed a hand on my back trying to keep me grounded and calm, I'm guessing because he noticed my eye twitch or read my aura too well.  I was tuning her out as best as I could.

      "So, (Y/N), seems like you've gotten along with everyone here well huh?" I heard Mimzy ask, bringing me back to reality. I nodded

   "Yeah, it took a little time to get warmed up to Husker, Vaggie and Niffty the first day, but the others were friends instantly. Especially Angie here and Al. Those two warmed up to me almost instantly. Al comes to see me at the desk or at the door of my room first thing in the morning to greet me and tells me his daily joke, sometimes kills time with me when my shift is pretty dead unless he's doing his radio broadcast. He even helps me cook dinner when it's my turn to do it." I said. Mimzy smirked at me and snorted. I furrowed my brow. "Did I say something?"

   "Oh no darlin' it's nothing. Just surprised he seems to like you so much, it's almost kinda hard to believe." She said sipping on her drink. She set it down. "Besides, no girl that met him after he died would wanna go anywhere near him....unless you're only lookin for power." She said. I stared at her.

   "What exactly what do you mean by that Mimzy?" I asked in a slightly pointed tone. She shrugged.

   "Oh nothing haha." She said. She leaned forward to grab her drink but instead knocked it over sending half of it spilling onto me. I gasped and growled under my breath and she smiled.

   "Hehe whoopsie!" She said fakely

*knock knock knock*

Before I could react any further, we were interrupted by a knocking at the door. I furrowed my brow. Most people just opened the door, unless it was locked. Mimzy looked nervous as I stood up. Something wasn't right. I krept over to the door. As I suspected, the door was indeed locked. The only one who'd been anywhere near the door in the past hour was Mimzy when she burst in earlier. She must've locked it behind her. The knock at the door repeated, but louder and more impatient, soon growing from knocking into a pounding.

*BANG BANG BANG* "Mimzy!!"

I peered through the peephole and there stood a group of angry looking shark demons. As I looked I noticed the ones in the back grabbing something large. Then I heard them through the door.

    "Grab the barricade! No from the other end you dipshits!!" My eyes widened. I rushed back over.

   "Mimzy, what did you come here for, and who are those guys?" I asked. She laughed nervously.

   "Why I don't know what you're talking about doll!" She said, feigning innocence. I glared at her.

    "Mimzy. Whatever it is, it's about to put all of us in danger, now tell us what's going on?!" I demanded. Before she could answer...

   *BOOM BOOM BOOM* the hotel began to shake. They were trying to break their way in. Fuck. This wasn't good. I angrily yelled at Mimzy.

    "MIMZY WHAT DID YOU DO?!" I snapped.

    "Oh shit..." as the ground shook, she ducked and covered against the ground. Everyone appeared in the lobby just then.

   "Que Carajo?!" Vaggie exclaimed. Yes, what the fuck was exactly the right reaction!

   "What is going on?!" Charlie asked frantically. I sighed.

    "Mimzy did something to anger those fuckers outside pretty badly and she's trying to hide out here behind Al like a scared little kid hiding behind its mommy. Mimzy. Start talking, now!" I demanded. Mimzy popped her head up nervously from the ground.
