The Guy Next Door♥

5. Jose

I don't doubt a moment and run through the fog to the robot and jump on his back.

Robot: 'Get Off me!' The robot starts to spin wild but I hold tight. Then I see a big valve on his back. I open it and see all sorts of different colors of threads and buttons.

Robot: 'What are you doing?! Get off me!' I pull the valve off and start by cutting with the glass by all threads. The robot makes a strange noise. I feel he loses his balance. Then the robot falls over. I fall beside him on the ground.

Will: 'Are you okey?' He grabs my hand and helps me up.

me: 'Yes, I am.' I rub over my arm.

Steven: 'You were awesome!'

Me: 'Thank you, but we must look for Jose.' Will and Steven nod. We walk through the door where the robot came from and then walk through a large hallway. At the end of the hallway there is a big door with a yellow sign. A triangular yellow plate with a skull on it. Will gently opens the door.

Will: 'It's safe follow me.' We walk in behind Will. We'll see a big table with drinks and brews in bottles. We'll see a bottle with ''livebeverage'' on it.

Steven: 'Will this be it? The ''Livebeverage''?' Next to the bottle is a scissors and a pick of hair from Jose.

Will: 'He was still working on it.' I look around the space and see a thick rope on the wall. And on that rope someone is tied up.

Me: 'JOSE!' The agents are watching. I rush to the unconscious boy and shake him.

Me: 'Jose!' I grab the piece of glass that I cut through the wires of the robot and try to cut the rope that Jose attaches to.

Me: 'Au!' I look at my hand, the blood runs from my hand to my elbow and drops from there on the ground. I bite my teeth. Will comes to me. He nods down to me and grabs my injured hand. Then he wipes off his scarf and then wraps it around my hand. I look at him.

Me: 'Thanks.' Will take a knife out of his pocket by cutting the rope. Steven is still at the big table with drinks and brews. He holds the bottle of ''Livebeverage'' firmly and looks shocked to our side.

Will: 'Yes.' The rope shoots loose and Jose's hand falls on his stomach.

Me: 'Jose?' I feel a big tear about my cheek rolls. 'Jose, wake up please.' Will puts his hand on my shoulder.

Will: 'Come on, get up.' He helps me up. Then he grabbed Jose's shoulders and lifted him up.

Will: 'Steven, come and help.' Steven puts the bottle of "Livebeverage" down on the table and lifts Jose's feet. Together, they lifted Jose through the long hallway to the big room where we just found the diary.

Steven: 'Wait!' He loosens Jose's legs so they fall to the ground and get back through the long hallway. Will and I will look at him. Steven returns with a bottle in his hand. The ''Livebeverage.''

Steven: 'Guys, don't you know that we can live forever with this drink?' He looks at us. He is still out of breath of running.

Will: 'Put it back, you'll be a Swine, you want that?'

Steven: 'Come on, don't you want to live forever?' Steven opened the bottle cap.

Me: 'Seriously? You're not going to drink that, are you?' I'm looking worried at Steven.

Steven: 'Why not?'

Will: 'That's very dangerous, you don't know what's in it!' Steven raised his shoulders and held the bottle on his lips. Then suddenly the ''By them selves walking shoes'' come run in our direction. And afterwards it were our rescuers! She ran full speed against Steven, causing him to fall back and dropping the bottle out of his hand. The bottle flies through the air and comes right into the dirty container. First, nothing happens. But then the container explodes and all that dirty mess is flying through the sky. We get up. The building is full of smoke. And that was not the worst thing, It also smelled terrible!

Will: 'Steven grab his feet!' He coughs through the many smoke he breathes.

Steven: 'But, the food.'

Will: 'Steven, take his feet!' Steven decided to catch Jose's feet and pick lift him up with Will to the car.

Once in the car, I lie with my head against Jose's chest.

Me: 'Jose... Jose?' I feel the tears poking in my eyes. 'Jose, wake up please.' I feel his heart slowly beating against my ear. I'm ironing with my hand through his curly hair. 'Jose?' A big tear rolls over my cheek and comes straight to Jose's shirt. The blood of my hand is also coming through Will's scarf. It starts to drop and falls on my pants.

Will: 'Maybe I have a connection box in the back bin.' He stops the car on the side of the road and steps out to find a connection box. I walk with him. Will hang half in the back bin.

Will: 'Yes, there he is already.'  He grabs a white little box with a red crotch on the back of the bin. He takes the scarf off my hand and makes it clean. then he connects my wounded hand. He looks at me.

Will: 'Hey, it's going to be fine with Jose.' He wipes a tear from my cheek.

Me: 'Do you think?' I look at him in his green eyes.

Will: 'Yes, I think.' He looks at his shoes. 'I hope so.' There is a silence. Will cough.

Will: 'Come, I'll bring you home.'

Me: 'And what's going to happen with Jose?'

Will: 'We'll be waiting at your home until he conscious again, and meanwhile the door is being made.' I'm grinning. The door was broken completely.

Will: 'Will we go?' I nod. Then we get back into the car. Through the rearview mirror I see that Steven looks cranky for sight. He would liked to have the ''livebeverage''.

After taking a turn at the roundabout, Jose's head falls to my shoulder. His hair tickles in my neck, What made me think. I was tickling him in his side and in his neck. I even pulled out his shoe so that I could tickle under his foot, but that did not work either...
