The Monkees Part 2

Chapter 4

It was just getting daylight outside. Peter had woken up first. Once he exited his room, he saw Mike on the floor and he was clearly out of it. Peter then ran up to Mike to make sure he was okay.

"Mike? Mike? Can you hear me?"

Nothing. He was still out of it. Peter turned him over so he was faced up and he began examining him.

Davy had finally come out of the bedroom and he wasn't wide awake yet so when he saw Mike, he thought nothing of it. It didn't dawn on him until he heard Peter trying to wake him up.

"Whats the matter Petah?"

"I found Mike like this. He hasn't woken up yet."

"Let me try." Davy approached Mike and began hitting his face. Apparently Mike was a very deep sleeper.

"Where's Micky? I'm sure he will want to hear what happened to Mike.

Peter ran upstairs and came back a few minutes later and said: "He isn't here Davy."

Davy began to think outloud: "Micky isn't here, and Mike is completely out of it on the kitchen floor." Davy shut his eyes and leaned his head back now knowing what happened. "Micky was kidnapped by someone."

Just then, Mike began to move. He was just waking up.

"Ey man. Wanna tell us what you're doing on the floor?" Davy asked as Mike was now aware of where he was. He slowly sat up and leaned against the bottom of  the sink still trying to focus his eyes.

He slurred alittle when he spoke: "Not sssure whhat happened. Aaall I remember doiiing was getting some water. Next thing I know, I wake up on the floor next to both of you." His voice got clearer each word he spoke.

Davy held up 4 fingers. "How many fingers am I holding up?"

Mike squinted his eyes so he could see clearly: "Uh, I would say probably 4."

"Right you are."

"Mike, think. What happened. Try to remember what happened and why you ended up on the floor." Davy said.

Mike closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the bottom of the sink cabinet doors. He thought long and hard. Then it came to him.

"I remember hearing a noise right before.............." He paused. Mike didn't want to say it. He didn't want to say that they are once again in danger. "Where's Micky?" He became extremely worried now.

"Petah said he wasn't here. He could just be somewhere else."

Somewhere else

Micky was just coming to. He remembered what happened. He remembered calling for Mike but there was no response. Did something happen to him? Could that be why he wasn't answering? He was only out of the room for a few minutes. What could have happened in those few minutes?

I hope Mike is okay. Micky began to think. He wasn't worried about himself yet. He thought he was okay. He didn't feel the restraints on his hands and feet so he thought he was okay.

Back at the pad

Davy and Peter helped Mike up. He had a really bad headache and he stumbled a little bit as he walked toward the couch.

"You sure you're alright Mike?"

"Yeah. I'm fine Davy. It was just a bump on the head. Nothing serious."

"Okay. If you're sure."

"I'm sure. Just give me a little room to breathe."

Davy and Peter stepped back as Mike took a seat on the couch. He put his hand to his head feeling for his wool hat but it wasn't there.
