Call Me: Chapter Two

Call Me

Chapter 2

Law had to dash to the sound booth to avoid the hoards of obnoxious girls that insisted on trying to cornering him, and force upon him their homemade boxed lunches. It was so bad that just after a week his usual hid out in the library had been compromised. He had been distracted by thoughts of Eustass, and thus had failed to noticed that Monet and her gaggle of stalker girlfriends had shadowed him. He cursed as he flipped the lock on the door. Ugg. Now he ate his lunches alone for a completely different reason.

He fell heavily into the plush swivel chair in front of the sound equipment. Law sighed, rubbing his tired eyes. Might as well finish the track he and Penguin had started. All that was left was to add the lyrics...

Kidd saw that trouble maker Trafalgar Law suspiciously look left to right before disappearing behind the next corner. A few moments later he saw why. A horde of girls with a ton of boxed lunches swarmed the hallway.

"Law!" they called, " Trafalgar, we have food for you! Yummy sandwiches, and sweets!"

The red headed teacher rolled his eyes and walked toward the gymnasium's workout room. He skirted around the group of girls, and noticed a hallway he had never seen before.

"Where does that go?" he wondered out loud.

"Oh, that leads to the sound booth." One of the girls answered, eying him with interest.

"Sound booth?" he repeated.

"Yeah. It was added a few years ago, but no one really uses it because the equipment is really expensive, and you need special permission."

Hmm... A secluded place that bratty students aren't allowed in? Seemed worth checking out.

"Uh, thanks...?"

"Perona," the pinkette replied, then raced with the other girls, snapping a loud bubble of hot pink gum.

Eustass turned down the hall and walked until he came to a door sign that had 'Sound Booth/ Equipment Room' written on it. He reached out his hand and turned the handle. It was locked. Che. No problem.

He took out one of the booby pins hat held back the annoying stands of hair from his face. Kidd then bent it into a familiar shape, and the lock was picked in a matter of seconds.

It was obvious to Kidd that from the backpack on the floor, and the lights on, that someone was in here besides him.

Eying the familiar yellow and black backpack, he carefully made his way to the glass booth. When he peered in he wasn't surprised to find Law sitting on one of the stool, a pair of ear phones on his head, and his trademark white hat on the ground beside him.

Kidd saw his mouth moving, so he stealthily made his way over to the panels of nobs and buttons, and various cranky things, and pressed the right button that would allow him to hear the teen.

"...guin. Yes, you are connected. Just start the track on my count and we'll do the rest when I'm done. Are the camcorders on?"

"Yes," a warbled voice faintly said.

"Good," Trafalgar nodded. " On my count. One, two,one, two, three..."

Eustass knew that he should have stopped the teen, but something compelled him to stay where he was.

Music flooded over the speakers, specifically a slow guitar opening, and the rhythmic clacking of drum sticks. Then, to his surprise, Law opened his mouth again, and began to...sing...?

"Say my name, say my name

If no one is around you, say "Baby, I love you"

If you ain't runnin'
