"Russ? Russel! Hurry up will you?" 2D yelled. Russel sighed and stepped into the singer's room. Russel was in need of a nap. "Here you go." Russel mumbled tiredly. He handed 2D his breakfast and peppermint tea. He didn't receive a thank you. Russel stomped down the stairs and heard Ace flirting with the guitarist, Noodle. She didn't tell him to bug off like she normally would Murdoc. All she did was go into a fit of laughter. "Ay! Yo, Russel!" Ace yelled. He saw the African American male walk by. "Yes Ace? I'm kind of–" Russel was cut off by a basket of dirty clothes shoved into his arms. "Could you like, wash those for me? Thanks you're great!" Ace said before going back to Noodle. Russel growled. Noodle looked at him with a glint of pity in her eyes.
Russel made his way to the laundromat. As he was pulling the clothes out and shoving them into the washing machine he realized that some of the clothes belonged to the original bassist, the one who started it all. Murdoc Niccals. "Who told that little green troll who could just wear his stuff?" Russel grumbled. He took the time to shrink the dirty clothes that actually belonged to Ace. He grinned.
"Excuse me you two," 2D said. "What's up Stu?" Ace asked. Noodle looked at 2D ready to hear what he had to say. "Where's Russ? He knows I'm not feelin' all too well! He should be helping me you know?" 2D said. "Oh Ace asked if he could wash his laundry," Noodle told the man in his 30's. "Hey, I could help you!" Noodle smiled. "Noods, don't be silly!" 2D said. Her smile began to fade a tad bit. "2D all you need is a warm bath, come on my king." Noodle said. She faked a smile this time. Noodle grabbed 2D's hand and led him to the bathroom.
Ace watched the two leave. He got up and went straight to Murdoc's room. "I wonder what the old British bastard did to go to prison." Ace muttered to himself as he laid down. He began to fall asleep.
Russel got back a few hours later. The sun was high in the sky. Russel stepped inside and headed to Murdoc's room. He knew it was around Ace's nap time. Russel dumped the clothes onto the sleeping Ace. "Hey! I was sleeping!" Ace woke up grumpy. Russel just glared at with no type of emotion.
"Russ there you are!" 2D squeaked. "I was looking all over for you! You're lucky Noodle distracted me!" He fussed. Russel ignored 2D and walked right past him. 2D's white eyes were beginning to turn black again. "You do not walk away from me!" 2D raised his hand and began to hit Russel.
