Electric Feel

Chapter 7

Stupid.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

That's what Murdoc thought of humself. He didn't even bother to explain anything to Noodle. It was not her fault she was so bloody perfect and he was afraid of it, he thought. She was honest and loved him for who he was but he is just so damaged that he didn't trust her. He decided he would apologize and say he was having a bad day, not sleeping all night and everything. More lies, but he could never tell her that in a way, he was afraid of her.

His phone rang and he pulled it out of his pocket frantically, hoping it was his Little Love. But instead of Noodle's voice, he heard another, a fammiliar one, but he just couldn't put a face on it.

'' 'ello? Mu'doc? 're yew there?"

Suddenly he recognized his old friend's feminine voice. If she could even be considered a friend anymore.

"Sod off," he said coldly and hung up.

The phone rang again and he picked it up, but this time, he decided he'll talk to her.

...

" 'scuse me sir, could you show us the way to Wobble street?" Russel asked a young shipman at the docks.

" Shrooms, isn't 'ey? Wouldn' want ta be you this time t'morrow, mate." the shipman replyed and shrugged.

"Shrooms? Sorry?" Noodle joined the conversation.

"Either you 's an idiot, or you's on shrooms and th' like. No such thing as Wobble stree', not in this town." The shipman said to Russel, "You don' look like idiots," he chuckled.

"2D, are you sure Murdoc said Wobble?" Russel yelled, while 2D was standing at the rear of the ship hesitating to get off, afraid he would fall into the gap between the ship and the dock.

He made a small step and crossed the gap, a sigh of relief escaping his mouth. He ran his way toward Russel and Noodle.

"Yes I'm sure, look he drew me a map..." 2D mumbled, unfolding a piece of paper.

"Ever wonder if this Murdoc were just messin' with ya?" The shipman winked at them and lowered his gaze to some ropes he was tying.

Suddenly it hit them.

"That bastard." 2D and Russel said in unison.

"Wait," Noodle said, "he wouldn't just leave us here. The map is unintelligible but there are instructions. Maybe we should trust him."

They bade the shipman a goodbye and followed Noodle who read Murdoc's instructions.

Get in a cab or walk your fat arses to the nearest bus station.

Noodle scoffed but they followed his instructions and took a cab, after they got to the station they figured it'd probably take them an hour to walk there if they hadn't took the cab.

Russel and 2D were starting to get suspicious about how good these instructions were. Noodle showed them the second one.

Find bus nr. 32. Ask for Robert. He's always there.

NO LIFER.

Tell that sod I miss him.

"Seriously? " Russel rolled his eyes.

Even though they thought Murdoc was probably drunk while writing this, they found bus nr. 32 which was old and rusty, and Noodle stepped in through the open door.

"Robert?" Noodle called out.

"Yeah luv?" She was greeted by a dark-skinned man with green eyes and a dazzling smile. He was about 2D's age and his hair was similar to 2D's though it was black.
