The Monkees Part 1

Chapter 23

Davy looked behind himself and began to walk backwards. He wasn't paying any attention to what was behind him and he walked into someone who was also walking backwards.

Davy gasped as he jumped forward and turned around so quickly. It was Peter.

"Petah?!"

"Davy? What are you doing here?"

"We came to save you."

"We? Are Micky and Mike here as well?"

"Yeah. Somewhere. Apparently Mike knows every inch of this place. Come on. Let's get out of here."

"Okay. But we need to get Mike out!"

"Why? Petah, what's going on?"

"No time to explain. Let's go!"

Davy and Peter met up with Micky. "Where's Mike?" Peter asked.

"He wasn't with you?"

"No."

Peter stopped.

"Petah?" Davy waves his hand in front of Peter's face. "Hello? Petah? You home?"

There was a strange noise coming from Peter. Micky began to examine him. He lifted up Peters shirt only to reveal that it was a robot they were talking to. Someone had made a Peter replica and sent him to find the monkees.

"He's a robot. Okay Mr. Robot, where's the real Peter and where's Mike?"

Nothing.

"Okay. I'm going to ask you one more time. Where are they?"

"Peter is still being questioned by someone known as Babyface. He is trying to get some information on where the monkees are." He said in a very robotic voice.

"Can you take us to them?"

"No."

"Why not?" Davy asked. He was getting just a little bit frustrated.

"Because I am not programmed to show the enemy to the hostages. I am programmed to self destruct in 5.........4.........3........."

"RUN!!" Micky screamed.

"2.........1........." There was a huge explosion knocking both monkees off their feet as they were still in the building and they were surrounded by rubble and plaster.

Everything went dark.

Mike had wandered off so he wasn't too badly hurt by the explosion. He only heard Micky screaming for them to run. Then there was the explosion. Then dead silence.

Mike ran to the area that was now gravel and rubble and plaster everywhere. He began to call out: "Davy?! Micky?!" Come on guys. Stop playin' around."

He heard coughing in the distance and went toward it. It was Davy.

"Hey Davy. You alright?"

It took a second for Davy to realize Mike was there and talking to him. He was a bit confused. He looked around and finally came eye to eye with Mike. "Mike? Where were you? We thought somethin' happened to ya."

"I'm fine Davy. Where's Micky?"

"Uh, I'm not sure. He was ahead of me when the blast went off." Davy tried to stand up but failed miserably.

"Dont stand. I'll find him."

He heard another set of coughs coming from a few feet away. He approached it and found Micky still buried in the rubble.
