The Con (Gorillaz Fan Fiction)

Chapter 8- By the way

2D entered his room. The metal door slid behind him and the pirate ship-looking wheel spun around closing it. 2D looked around the messy room he had centered himself in.

The shelves had all kind of mysterious gunk on it and held little trinkets of electronic devices that 2D had experimented with in the long hours he was trapped in his room. Drawings and posters covered the red-tinted walls. There was multiple vintage keyboards laying about and a small banjo leaned one of the walls. A large device sat on the floor next to his bed. No one could think of what it could be. It had a weight on it and a jar of coins connected to it. A small glass window with large screws was above his small bed.

2D was pleased with his small room. He had tried to decorate it as well as he could to make his uncomfortable environment seem a little welcoming for himself. He walked up to his bed. The sheets looked old and were unevenly made into a clutter of cloth. He looked down,his smile to Kit had faded into a frown. He sat down with a hunched back his fingers intertwined on his knees. He breathed in and sulked at the carpet.  

Still a bit guilty of the events that had just occurred.  

The door in his room suddenly slid open again.

"Hello 2D." It was Murdoc.

"So much for peacefulness." 2D thought.

Murdoc looked around the room. His head going in every direction. 

"Kinda gloomy in here. Ever thought of opening your curtains?" 

2D sighed.

"There's a whale." 2D mumbled. 

Murdoc looked up and seemed to have an "Oh yeah!" look on his face.

"Oh yes a whale...that's right...i put that there didn't I? " 

2D sighed.

"So what er you doing here anyways?" 

"Really risky, what happened today." Murdoc emitted. That bloody boogeyman, mate. How'd he send one of his spy bugs here? He'll soon be comin here if he finds out where we are. We'll have two guitarists in a year dead. "  

"Whater you talking about?" 2D quivered.

"THE DAMN BOOGEYMAN! That's who I'm talking about." 

2D looked up.

"Ehh ah. Thats not possible. We ditched that thing a long time ago on the land."

"...you see 2D. " Murdoc explained, "The boogeyman does not simply 'get ditched'. Its a ghost. An inatimate object. And most importantly. It can transport himself ANYWHERE it wants to go, dissapears and appears as it pleases, like...magic, as long as its in his bounds...and apparently where we are are his bounds."

2D narrowed his eyes as if he was confused.

"He send the bug."

"The bug?"

Murdoc rolled his eyes.

"Yes, the bug. You forgot already?? The mechanical bug with the camera that Kit squashed with her ass."

2D kept silent.

"Just because I broke my end of the deal." Murdoc muttered.

Murdoc, being as devious as he always was. Made a deal with the boogeyman long ago, to give a special prize. A special prize if he were to see 2D at Plastic Beach. So the boogeyman went to 2Ds house,gassed him,and when he was passed out, he kidnapped him and dropped him on the beach. 

"It's your fault, then." 2D hissed.

"What do you mean its my fault? That boogeymans evil on his own! He's not going to stop trying to kill our guitarists until I give him what he wants."

2D cringed. 

"Then give him the manatee!!!" 

The manatee.

The special prize Murdoc agreed to give to the boogeyman if he suceeded in kidnapping 2D. 

Which,without a doubt,

he did.

A peculiar prize indeed.

"NO! I have a special attachment to that animal." Murdoc blurted.

2D sighed.  

"So it's Kit competing an animal in terms of life and death... And Kits going to get death all because you don't want to give up your stinking manatee?"  

Murdoc chuckled.

"No...I have a solution to the problem...and for the matter...such a disappointing, BUT necessary thing has come into my mind...and tell you, I thought long and hard about it...but its best for the bands safety." 

"What...?" 2D said curiously. 

Murdoc looked up, paused, then breathed in.

".....Kits not gonna exactly....tour in public with us

...shes not in the show." 

2D looked perplexed as the words entered his head.

"Wot?"

Murdoc breathed in. 

"He'll kill her. Just like he did with Noodle. Not that that bothers me... but you seem to care for the girl...she dies and you'll probably you go on a mental breakdown and we lose the money...I mean band."

2D was astonished. Kit couldn't play in the band? What was Murdoc saying?

"But thats not...shes part of the band...she-Iya i thought..." 2D stuttered as he searched for words. 

Murdoc interrupted.

"Well she'll get to play of course!... just no one will see her...shes going to be backstage. Well make sure there's a big ass curtain in the way so no one will see her. So we won't endanger her or you for that matter." 

2D seemed unconvinced.

"No...i get it. But shes not going to agree with this...no..."

"Look 2D its for her own good. and we can't have another band member hog all the fame all of a sudden. Capeesh? Shes not gonna perform right there in the open with us,and that's final."

"But-"

"Anyways shes not even that delighted to go. Shell probably be happy that she doesn't get to be seen with Gorillaz."

2D looked down sadly. Like before, he wasn't going to win an argument with Murdoc. But this was just too drastic.  

Murdoc paced his eyes to the left, his head intact.

"And you're going to tell her."

Murdoc quickly ran out of the room immediately after. Before 2D could realize what Murdoc said he was gone.  

2Ds black eyes widened.

Kit was not going to be seen with the Gorillaz. ever. She'd be there but she'd be a mysterious shadow to the fans. 2D knew Kit would be disappointed and he had to be the one to disappoint her.
