More Than A Book

Earplugs At Its Finest

Here's the part 2! I only own my OC's and things that don't appear in the series!

By the time I was out of the tunnel, sun was still shining and I was on the street where I had been before. So, what was I supposed to do, just be careful? Suddenly, my phone was ringing once again. I quickly took it out and answered the call. "Uncle Angus?" "Lily, how's it going?" Uncle asked me over the phone. "Oh, it's alright, I was in a café reading a bit, and now I'm going back to house. What about you?"

"I called you to tell you I wouldn't be home until ten o'clock in the evening...." "Oh, I'll see you then." "Bye." I hung up before looking at the clear sky with a frown. I wasn't going back home, that was for sure, and I wasn't going around and do nothing while that creep was out there on the loose! But, I had no idea what he was up to nor where was he now....

Maybe I could go back to that café, the place where the attack occurred? Not that I knew much, but maybe I could find something useful there. Once I was at that place, no one was there, only broken stuff and tables on the ground. Looking around, there wasn't much to see really. Except that...

"Down with peace, down with the world, down with the WOOHP!" I could hear some voices chanting, making my eyes widen at hearing those words. What were they talking about?! I quickly raced outside to see some people in suits with sunglasses saying that. They looked like people from WOOHP that I had seen before, but maybe I was wrong?

I quickly ran to them. They couldn't stop chanting those words at all. "Excuse me, but are you maybe from WOOHP?" I asked awkwardly, not knowing what to expect as an answer. "Down with peace, down with the world, down with the WOOHP!" All six of them responded before marching right past me as if I weren't there.

Alright, this was really weird... But I was after them stealthily, trying not to lose people out of sight.

It looked like they were off to some abandoned house about half an hour away from the café. As soon as they entered, the door closed and I quickly raced to them trying to open them, but of course... They were locked. "Fuck." I muttered in disbelief, but what else did I expect? It would be way too easy and stupid for them to leave the door unlocked.

I just had to get inside; I had to see what was up with people wanting to get rid of WOOHP... But, what could I do? I couldn't just fly over there... "Come on Lily, think." I muttered to myself while pacing back and forth before looking up to see... A nearby tree, its branches ending right in front of a window on a floor upstairs!

That was it! The only way I could get up there was to climb up... "Thank God I decided to wear jeans today." I muttered before walking to the tree, looking at it from all sides to see where to start climbing. "Alright, climbing abilities don't let me down." I pleaded before grabbing a nearest tree branch with my right hand and then grabbing a next one with my left one.

I did climb some trees back in London, but I was a bit rusty, I did it only when Mother wasn't nearby because she thought climbing trees was very unladylike.... I grabbed another tree branch, hoping for it not to crack...

Finally, I was on that huge tree branch, and I was getting closer to that window, only to find it.... Closed. "Another fuck." I muttered once again to myself. What was I going to do now?! Maybe I could kick it? Out of the question, either they would hear it and then I'd be fucked or I'd hurt myself in process. Taking my bag, I looked inside it. There they were, that wallet, lipstick and hairdryer.

I then decided to consider my options. Option number one, call Jerry and tell him about this place, but then there was always a chance they wouldn't be there when WOOHP showed up. Option number two, try to go through this window and find out more and option number three, try to find another way into the house.
