Greek Runaway

Εξήντα ένα(Sixty One)

3rd Person's POV

"Whoa! Easy there, partner! Slow it down! I don't know who you are... but I'm pretty dang sure that tablet don't belong to you." Jedediah said when he saw Lancelot running towards him. Lancelot just laughed lightly stepping around them. "Now wait a second! Come back here! This ain't over!"

"You'll rue the day you mocked us with your huge sword and hypnotic blue eyes!" Octavius yelled. "His eyes are very blue." He said to Jedediah who was staring at him.

Lancelot had to halt his running because he encountered Teddy with his gun pointed at him.

"'Speak softly and carry a big stick.'" Teddy said. "Lawrence, we have a problem. This one turned to wax as well." Teddy said dropping the gun as Larry ran into the room.

"I have a saying, too. 'Speak loudly and carry a bigger stick.'" Lancelot said taking out his sword and pointing it at Teddy. Larry ran forward and pushed Lancelot and Teddy into the Convex and Concave 1955 Lithograph. The force Larry had put onto Lancelot made him drop the tablet in the painting.

"It's over there!" Larry yelled to Teddy.

"You mean up there," Teddy said.

"Come on," Larry said. Teddy and Larry got up and started heading to the tablet. Teddy managed to pick it up with his frozen hands.

"Got it." Until Lancelot knocked him over the side so he was barely holding on, then Larry had the tablet.

"Teddy," Larry yelled.

"The tablet, now! I shan't ask you again, fool! And this is giving me a headache! Give me the tablet!" Lancelot demanded while Larry held onto Teddy and the tablet.

"Let me go, Lawrence," Teddy said.

"No! Teddy, no!" Larry pleaded. Teddy let go of Larry and fell backward. "Teddy!" Larry yelled. He stood up with the tablet in his hands. He looked up and saw Teddy flying closer and closer. "There." He said giving him the tablet and stepping out of the way.

"That'll be mine," Lancelot said just before he was hit by Teddy who hit him. All three men tried to grab the tablet back, but Lancelot ended up with it. He left the painting with Larry and Teddy following shortly after.

"Hey, that was a good one," Larry commented.

"No idea that would work," Teddy said honestly.

"Larry!" Octavius yelled seeing Larry.

"Hey, you guys, how you doing?" Larry asked them.

"Still in one piece!" Jedediah commented.

"Octavius, I think this belongs to you," Larry said as he handed Octavius' cape back to him. Octavius took it, putting it back on.

"Thank you." Then everyone was in a circle discussing the plan of attack.

"I don't understand. Why is Lancelot staying strong while we get weaker?" Teddy asked.

"It's his first night. Newborns are stronger but it matters not. Unless we succeed, he, too, will be dead come the dawn." Merenkahre explained.

"We can't let him leave the building. Sir, can you go back to Egypt, in case he comes through there?" Larry asked Merenkahre.

"Of course." He said agreeing and going back to the Egyptian wing.

"Nicky, take Attila, check the loading dock," Larry commanded.

"Got it," Nicky said ready to help.

"Teddy, Ahkmenrah, and Katalina go to the South Wing, cover the side doors." All three of them went in the direction they were told to go. "I got the main entrance," Larry said to himself. As he was running he finally found the front of the museum and saw Lancelot riding off on his horse.

"You! I knew you smelled a bit off!" Tilly yelled jumping in front of Larry, making him stop.

"Didn't you just see that?" Larry asked pointing behind her where the knight just rode off on his horse.

"See what?" Tilly asked looking behind her.

"The knight on the horse that just rode through!" Larry said.

"Stop trying to distract me with your magical fantasy! I found your filthy twin, here, in the freight room!" Tilly said pointing to Laaa who she was holding onto.

"He's not my twin," Larry said.

"I got him, and what could he say for himself? " She asked starting to copy Laaa's grunting. Laaa growled at her. "Shut up! Shut up in your face! Shut up right now!" Tilly yelled. Larry started to run again, running past Tilly. "Do you want to be smashed? Yeah, you can run, but if you leave those gates... I swear to you, your hideous doppelganger... who looks a lot like the lead singer of the Counting Crows...will get it!" She threatened.

"Dada." Laaa pleaded looking into Larry's eyes.

"That's right. It compute with him." Tilly said. Larry put his arms up in surrender.

"Damn it," Larry said after being locked into what appeared to be a break room. Laaa copied him. "Laaa. If you see me do something dumb, don't imitate me, okay?" Larry said. "It's basically what I keep telling Nick. He just doesn't get it, you know? I mean, he's a smart kid... but I just want to give him the tools that I didn't have. I mean, get the degree, then take a break." Larry muttered to himself trying to use a knife to unlock the door.

"Get the degree, then take a break," Laaa said trying to use a knife to unlock the microwave, which ended in him shocking himself.

"Laaa! Laaa, stop that! Stop it! Okay." Larry said to Laaa.

Attila, Nicky, and Dexter had made their way to Tilly's shack and opened the door as she was going to call the police. She screamed and Attila took the phone and ripped it into two different pieces.

"What? Excuse me! Hey!" Tilly yelled.

"Hi. Hey. Sorry. I'm Nick, this is Dexter, Attila the Hun." Nicky said introducing everyone in the small room.

"Oh, yes, so lovely to meet you," Tilly said sarcastically. "Now meet this hammer!" She yelled and hit Attila in the head. It did nothing. She tried once more.

"Don't do that," Nicky said. Attila took the hammer out of Tilly's hand and handed it to Nicky. "I'm super sorry. I know it's a lot going on, Hun, monkey. Wow, what? So much weird. Huge amount to process. Right? Okay, sorry. Thank you." Nicky said as Attila put a broom through the handle of the door as a lock, they walked away to meet everyone at the front of the museum.

"You won't get away with this! I'm making sketches of you in my mind right now! Boy with freckles, fat Asian with hair extensions, evil monkey." Tilly yelled through the glass.

"I guess it's just parenting, you know?" Larry asked Laaa since they were sitting at the table in the break room with no way of getting out. "And he comes from a divorced family...so I'm sure he has a lot of conflicted feelings about me... and there might be some Oedipal stuff at play in there, or...I get it. I wasn't there a lot of the time. So I think I might be projecting my own guilt... and taking it out on him in ways...that I'm not even aware of." Laaa got up and started looking at the door while Larry was explaining how he felt. Laaa made an excited sounding noise. "What?" Laaa motioned to the door. "Door." Laaa pointed to his head. "Head. Okay, I..." Larry started confused. Laaa made a motion using his hands away from his head. "Open...head. Open your mind!" Larry said finally understanding. "Yes! Yeah, well, you're right. That's the challenge. I mean, it's all contextual, and I do. I keep looking at him through the lens of how my parents raised me...when, in reality, he's his own person. And, yeah, we share the same DNA... but honestly, he's much more evolved than I ever was. I don't want to let my own ego and childhood history... stop him from making the mistakes he needs to make... to become the person that he's meant to be." Larry rambled. While he was rambling Laaa took a running start and ran his head into the little window of the door. "Open the door with your head." Larry said getting up and grabbing his flashlight he had taken off. "Yes! Good, Laaa. Let's go!" Larry said pulling Laaa out of the room and towards the others at the front of the museum.
