Part Two
By MSTieLyn
The gentle sounds of the lake woke up medusaD and saw that DanZero was up as well, reading a “graphic novel“. There were birds chirping, whirrs of nearby boats and someone pounding on their tent. They whipped their heads towards the source of the noise.
“Can I come in?!? It’s an emergency!”, GlitterRock said
while frantically pounding on the front side of the tent.
“Yeah, what is it?” Gray Zombie asked sleepily and squinting
his eyes from the early morning light
.
Glitter got through the door, “Lyn is missing!”
*******
“I will never ever tell you where the location of Capper Central
is!!!”, MSTieLyn furiously screamed as an echo went through the abandoned cabin. She
was shackled down to a metal table at a 45 degree angle. Hovering over her was a Kortac
with the name of Vask, disguised as a man in his late 30’s and had fishing gear on,
and has been interrogating her for a few hours. Another Kortac, unconcealed, was slowly
pacing back and forth in front of her. He stopped and walked towards her.
“My dear, dear MSTieLyn, we won’t harm you *or* your friends.
We just want to know the whereabouts of the cappers and soon we will take over this world
for all nauseating mankind.”, the Commander calmly said.
“Yes, if you tell us the spot, no one will be hurt and you may be
allowed to use the uh, personal facilities.”, Vask said impatiently.
“Oh yeah?!? Well I can hold it until the others come for me and
that will be very, very . . SOON!!!”, she screamed into his face.
“Lyn, forget to brush our teeth this morning did we?” Vask
asked sneering.
With that remark, she blew right into his face with all of her
lungs’ power. Thoroughly disgusted, Vask finally moved away from her.
“Good.”, Lyn thought.
“Fine. We have expected you not to be willing to help us but
please do me this one favor. Never forget my dear, there is always a plan B.”, the
Commander said smiling.
*******
“Okay, don’t panic!! I am sure Lyn just went somewhere
without telling us!!” Mystic tried to sound convincing to the others.
“Did she just decided to take a morning swim around the whole lake
for the fun of it?!? The boat is still here and she’s not!!” medusa yelled back
at him.
“Maybe she saw someone she knows and went with them to get some
stuff. I think she said her dad works on the lake.” Dan said, offering some
reassurance to the others.
“I found this!” a voice cried behind them. The all looked to
see Gray and Glitter walking towards them from a trail in the woods. Gray was carrying a
small flashlight and a roll of toilet paper, “It was on the other side of the island.
The flashlight was still on, dimly though of course.”
“I found *this*!” Glitter said and held a blue sneaker into
the air.
“Oh I wonder who’s going to fit into that shoe, Prince
Charming.” medusa said with a surprisingly good southern accent.
Glitter gave her a skeptical look and turned to the others,
“Dudes”, he looked at medusa, “and dudette, I know this is Lyn’s cause
she was wearing them yesterday after swimming. They look like they were tightly tied on
and she must have been like violently kicking for this one to fall off. With
the other belongings close by, I can confidently say she was kidnapped.”
“Confidently? Okay, now say ‘I’m Sure to be dry’
with your arms above your head.” Mystic chirped.
“Look we have to call Capper Central and see if there were any
Kortac occurrences around here in northern Minnesota. I know they couldn’t have
landed in Canada, they probably couldn’t get past customs.” Dan said.
“I’ll contact Hobbes right away then and report Lyn‘s
disappearance.” Gray said as he rummaged through his bag for his communicator for a
couple minutes. “I just hope the Kortac can hold out the ‘kill-Lyn’ part
until we get her back.”, he thought as he was pulled the device out.
*******
“Is it like looking into a mirror, Lyn?” Vask asked standing
right in front of her.
She looked and was terrified yet totally amazed that the Kortac had
completely disguised himself as her without taking her body.
“I will have to admit it, yeah, kind of but *I* don’t have
mucus coming out of my nose, booger monster!!” she snapped at him. After her comment,
Vask quickly wiped his nose.
“Since you do not want to tell us the information we seek, we will
find out for ourselves by having the location told to us! Voluntarily!” the Commander
said with a smug look.
“So he goes back to the campsite and parades around like me with
all of that make up on and gets the location of Capper Central, he reports it back to you,
you tell your head honcho Martac, you get a raise and promotion, the Kortac take over
Earth and they’re gonna set a chain of Starbucks in each and every community? You
make me sick!” Lyn shouted at him.
Vask stood there for a moment until the Commander looked up,
“Vask, go! NOW!!”
After he left, the Commander put his concentration back on Lyn,
“Since we will find the data we need, I will let you off the table and you may go
outside to use the bathroom. You will find a roll of eh, tissue out there. Also don‘t
try to pull anything funny on me, I would have you dead in
seconds.” he said as he began undoing her restraints.
“Thanks, my back teeth were floating” Lyn said sarcastically
and hoped that he would never see the gun in her back pocket. She stood from the table and
walked towards the backdoor. Before going back inside, she knew she was going to prepare
to do some Kortac ass-kicking.
*******
Gray Zombie was about to communicate with Hobbes and he heard medusaD
yelling for him. “Gray, quick, come here!!”
He put the gizmo back and headed toward her, “Medusa, I was about
to call Capper Central and tell them MSTieLyn was miss . . .” He was stopped and saw
Lyn walking towards the camp with DanZero, Mystic Cobra and GlitterRock.
“I’m miss what? Miss America? No can do *buddy*, I‘m too
short.” Lyn said with an annoyed tone.
“Where were you?!?” Gray asked with concerned eyes.
Lyn looked at Glitter with a ‘you-tell-him’ look. Glitter
then turned to Gray, “Well she was up in a tree.”
“A tree?!?”
“Yeah, she wanted to watch the sunrise from up there and she left
her stuff on the ground, which you found. Her shoe I found fell off while she was climbing
up the tree.” Glitter explained.
“I hope you know that the rest of us were scared that you were
kidnapped!” Gray said.
“Don’t worry your pretty little capper head off! This is my
lake and I know what I’m doing, bucko!” Lyn said glaring at him.
The others looked at her, shocked from her sudden mood swing from
yesterday. “Well, just as long as you’re okay.” Dan said seeing how
surprised Gray was.
“I’m fine!” Lyn yelled, then thought “I wish I
could blow these cappers away right now but I need the data for Martac.”
Cobra tried to ignore the bizarre situation and kept looking over the
lake. The other cappers excused themselves and left. When they were far away, Gray
commented to the others, “Geez, sounds like an angry chipmunk bit her or something
this morning!”
“Yeah or maybe she has a monthly friend visiting her.” medusa
offered.
“The hell?!?” Dan exclaimed, then thought for a second,
“Ohhh!”
Lyn looked at Mystic and started smiling. Thinking, “Maybe if I
put the charm level on overload this mission will be complete.”
“Mystic? Do you want to escort me to the shoreline? Alone?”
Lyn asked.
“If you‘re asking me to go to the beach with you, sure.”
Mystic answered. He walked towards her and together they walked to the beach then Lyn
grabbed his hand and held it.
Lyn quickly started asking about the other cappers at Capper Central.
Mystic thought that was kind of weird since she is there all of the time.
*******
Taking deep breaths and thinking about what she was about to do, Lyn
was pressed against the bathroom door with her gun, getting ready to silently charge out
the door and attack the Kortac commander. She then counted from ten to make her move,
“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, GO!”.
She bolted out the door and found nothing. “SUM BITCH!!” she
shouted.
“What foul language for a young lady!” a voice behind her
said.
MSTieLyn spun around and saw the commander by the door with a mammoth
gun pointed at her, “I thought since I liked you, I would let you live for a while.
Oh well.”
“Awww, poopie!”
To Be Concluded
(Yea, that's right, it's a three part story. Weekends aren't very long, especially when you're out camping getting away from it all, it just goes by too fast)
