Nothing More

Chapter 8

Someone pulls the black bag from my face. My hands are tide to my back as well as my feet with a rope. I see someone. It's the man I saw in the forest. "I ordered Noodle to follow you to your hiding spot" he said. "What hiding spot? We were just camping" I said.

"You can think that, but he was just using you to escape. When he realized that we were around the area he tried to scare you off so we could kidnap you" he says.

My eyes widen. "N-no...he said we were partners in crime" I stutter. He laughs, "You really are an idiot. He really does know how to manipulate his little pawns" he says.

I see Noodle pop out from the dark to stand next to him. Noodle still has the brainwashed serious face. That poor girl is being controlled.

"Anyways, I'm gonna go leave to guard my base. See ya darling" he says. He walks away and turns off the light that was shining on me.

Now I can't see anything. I close my eyes even though that wouldn't change anything, I felt like I could meditate and think of a way to escape. I felt the rope in my hands was loose.

So I tried loosening it. It worked. I then continued to loosen up the rope that tied my feet together. I get up and try and locate my surroundings with my arms. It's so dark I can see jack shit. I reach out to feel what's in front of me.

I feel a box, a wall...a wall!. I follow the wall to see if I could find a switch, and I did! I switch it on...no luck. I wonder how they turned on the room. I keep searching the wall and feel a vent opening.

I try to remove the bars. They were pretty rusty but they came off sooner or later. I crawl in the vent. I still can't see shit But I keep going. But then the floor drops and I fall down.

"AHHH THIS SUUUUCKS!!!" I hit the hard metal. "Owww" I groan at my new head bump and try and rub it to make the pain go away.

I keep crawling and feel like the vent goes to both sides...hmmm right or left? I decide to take the left. I see through a vent Noodle patrolling an alley. I carefully remove the vent bars and jump on top of her.

I knock her unconscious. I pick her up and carry her piggy-back styled.

"Right, let's go" I say. I walk down the narrow hallway. Where in the world is the exit...? I keep walking down and see a sign. Exit, yes!. I follow the signs, until- *BUMP*

"AUGHH!" I scream and slap whoever was in front of me on the cheek. I hear the person groan and say "Chill out luv. It's me!" I look up and see a recognizable face.

"Oh...you..." I say trailing off. I glare at him and slap him again. "You motherfucker. You used me to get away!!!" I say. "Who the hell told you that shitty lie!?!?" He yells out.

"The man who kidnapped me. He knew that you knew that they were here..." I scream. "Luv calm down. I only wanted to rescue Noodle..." He sighs..."Look. This man kidnapped Noodle and framed me of murder and smuggling in England, that's why they think I'm a criminal. He told me that if I came and saw him. I wanted to save Noodle, but instead he took you.

I was so pissed at myself because I let you right into his trap when you took that little walk in the woods...I'm sorry you got involved. I should've protected you" he said looking to side.

I try to believe the bullshit story he just told me. And I just sigh and look at him straight in the eyes, with a serious expression. "Look Murdoc. This wasn't your fault...hell he saw me and that's when I realized that I should've stayed close to the van, instead I got lost and kidnapped"

Murdoc smiles. "I'm just glad you're ok" he says. My face turns cherry red, ugh the natural human flattery instinct. "Y-yeah...let's get outta here" I say looking away so he wouldn't see my blush.

We kept running till we see a garage door which we thought was the exit. "I'll open the exit door, take Noodle and run through" Murdoc says.

I run to the garage door and as it opens a leg kicks me to the ground knocking me and Noodle down. I push her to the side to not squish her.

"No!" I hear Murdoc scream. The man gives a sinister laugh. "You guys think that you can escape from me?!" He yells. I look down to avoid his eye contact.

"Get away from them!" Murdoc screams running towards him to punch him. But the man grabbed his fist and bent his arm.

Murdoc screamed in agony. I grimace. The man turned back to me. "I am irked...and when I'm irked I hurt things, delicate things like...you" he says poiting at me.

"Don't hurt her...please" Murdoc weakly sputtered out. The man was raising his fist about to punch me. I braced for impact.

But out of the blue, Noodle came out of nowhere and kicked the man on his chin, knocking him unconscious.

Me and Murdoc's jaw dropped. "Uncle Murdy?" She says. "What happened? And who is that?" She asks.

Murdoc looks at Noodle and hugs her real tight. "Oh Noodle I'm so glad your back!" He says. He lets go of her, "This is Y/n, she is a friend of mine" he says. "Oh, Konnichiwa Y/n-San! Uncle Murdy, are we going to get together and do Gorillaz again?" She asks.

Murdoc shrugs. "Eh, I don't know" he says. Noodle gives a worried look but grins again, "I'm glad to be back with you Uncle Murdy!" She says.

"Same Noods...alright, let's go back to the van!" Murdoc says excitedly. "Oh wait...I totally forgot how I got here, Noods, do you remember the way back?" Murdoc asks.

Noodle thinks for a moment. "Ah! Yeas I do remember. Follow me!" She says. We step out of the garage door and walk into the night.
