Couldn't keep away... ( INANIMATE INSANITY // LIGHTBRUSH Fanfiction )

I did it for the money

"Where is he? This alley is really sketchy." Microphone said as she paced around the small space.

Taco sighed in annoyance. "He'll be here. I offered him a ton of money for this." She said while she chuckled.

Mic looked at Taco and then at the brick wall in front of her.

"What was our plan again?" Mic asked as she sat down.

Taco corrected her. "Not our plan. My plan."

"Yeah yeah, whatever! Your plan. What is it?" Microphone raised their eyebrow and looked around to see if anyone would be there. Nobody was.

"Well, my dear Microphone. If you're that interested," Taco began but Mic cut her off.

"Ugh, don't ever say, my dear. With that British accent, it sounds weird." Microphone said with the utmost annoyance. You could clearly tell she wanted nothing to do with Taco.

Taco looked Microphone in the eyes sternly. "I beg your pardon. Did you just interrupt me?" Taco says.

Mic rolled her eyes and told Taco to "Go on,"

"Thank you. As I was saying, I need Paper to steal the keys to hotel." Taco explains, partially.

Mic gave a look of concern. "That's really stupid." She then says.

Taco looked at Mic with one eyebrow raised. "Why must you always rain on my parade?" Taco said while flipping through the pages of her novel.

"It's not much of a parade to rain on, actually." Mic replies.

Taco sighs. "What's on your mind this time, Microphone?"

Mic looks away from Taco and rolls her eyes. "If access to the hotel is all you need, why don't you just walk in yourself? Seems pretty easy, doesn't it." Mic explains, still looking the other way.

Taco snaps her fingers to get Mic's attention her way. "Now that is stupid, Microphone." She says while she chuckles a bit. Taco concludes with, "This is why I come up with the plans, silly girl."

Microphone looks Taco's way and gets confused pretty quickly. "How so?"

"Mic, how do you think the eliminated contestants will react if I just walk into the hotel?" Taco says. "Everyone despises me."

"Well, it is your fault," Mic mumbles under her breath.

Taco turns around sinisterly and says, "what did you say?"

Mic pauses, then chuckles nervously. "I didn't say anything.. Oh look, here comes Paper."

Paper walks into the alley with his phone in his right hand. "Hey, sorry I'm late. I got lost. This is a weird place to meet up."

Taco clicks her tongue. "Stop complaining. Where is the thing I told you to retrieve for me?" She says to Paper.

Paper grins and lifts up the shiny, silver keys. They sway from side to side and his hand shakes a little.

Taco smirks as she stares at the keys. She walks up to Paper to collect them and starts to speak. "Excellent. I appreciate it, Paper." She says.

Paper nods. "I did it for the money," He says as he laughs. "I was actually surprised to hear from you. I thought you died, Taco."

Taco looks up after jingling the keys in her hand. "I'm sure everyone else thought that as well, huh?" Taco says.

Paper shrugged. "Perhaps, but it's not like anyone cares." He says as he walks away.

Taco scoffed and Microphone laughed. Taco walked to a warehouse nearby, clenching the keys safely in her hand.

"Why are you treating those keys as if they were your child?" Mic said as she rolled her eyes and followed Taco. "Actually, never mind, you wouldn't take care of a child that well."

Taco unlocks the warehouse door with another key that she already had. A golden, rusty key. It looked as old as the warehouse.

"Excuse you. I would take great care of a child." Taco says as she spins the set of shiny keys on her finger.

"Uh-huh," Mic says as they both enter the warehouse.
