Chapter 13

They arranged to meet every other day, to ensure that they were all still safe. Jackieboy Man and Marvin didn't mind it since they saw each other often anyway but Markiplier made sure to complain a lot. The next time they met, Markiplier came empty handed when he was expected to bring the trackers.

"Where are they?" Jackieboy Man immediately asked, skipping the pointless greetings. There were things more important than being polite.

"Where are what?" Markiplier responded, trying to play innocent. Jackieboy Man glared at him, wishing that looks could kill. They didn't have time to deal with Markiplier's stubborn and annoying attitude. They needed the trackers as soon as they could get them.

"You know what."

"They're coming. I spoke to Rex yesterday."

Jackieboy Man couldn't help but snort at the stupid name. "Are you getting them from a dog or something?"

"No! That's his code name. If I just started referring to him by his real name you'd be able to hand him over to the police. That guy does illegal shit like it's perfectly legal."

"And you know him because..?"

"Because we were old friends. That's all you need to know. He said he could get them to me by tomorrow."

"Tomorrow might be too late! We need them now!"

"I quote 'this shit is precise and you can't rush it. If you do, you'll just fuck it up and get someone killed'."

"What?"

"I don't know. He's dodgy, man."

Jackieboy Man shook his head, barely believing he was actually talking to Markiplier, the man who was trying to rid the world of evil, about his criminal friend.

Marvin, who had stayed silent throughout the whole interaction, spoke up, his mouth in a thin line. If the others could see his eyebrows underneath his mask, they'd see they were worriedly raised. "Who do you think will be next?"

"I don't know. My bets-"

"Are you seriously placing a bet on this?" Jackieboy Man chipped in, obviously not understanding the figure of speech.

"Not literally, you idiot. What I was going to say was my bets are on you, Mr. Cat."

Marvin pulled a disgusted face. "Don't call me that. I am not a cat."

Markiplier let out a loud laugh and Jackieboy Man stifled some giggles. "That rhymes, Mr. Cat."

"Fuck off!"

"It's cute!" Jackieboy Man chuckled, looking over at Markiplier who was nodding his head in agreement whilst still laughing.

"I am not cute!"

"Yes, you are. Just look at your little cat ears." Markiplier leaned forward and jokingly stroked the ears of Marvin's mask, making him scowl. "This is the definition of cute, dude."

"I hate you two." Marvin grumbled, folding his arms like a child in the middle of a tantrum.

"We love you too." Jackieboy Man and Markiplier responded in unison. Teasing Marvin was probably the first thing they had bonded over since meeting each other as their personalities usually contrasted each other. Markiplier tended to be boisterous and obnoxious whilst Jackieboy Man tried to remain anonymous and was extremely selfless.

Jackieboy Man was driving when he received the dreaded call. He picked it up and put it on loudspeaker as soon as he reached a red light. The call was filled with a familiar static until he heard the glitch-y voice mutter, "Two left." Jackieboy Man almost crashed the car as his eyes widened.
