Livin' With The Gorillaz, chapter 17
Ch. 17- Am I Just Paranoid or Am I just... Critically Insane?
I went a whole night without sleep sitting in the lounge awaiting that call. It was now about 4:00 in the morning. Sitting there hugging my knees, all bundled up in Mike's sweatshirt. Starring at the T. V, which wasn't even turned on. Finally there was a crash in the kitchen, I heard mumbling.
"Damn... Pay... Ouch... Mumble, mumble." ; It was Murdoc of course. I guess he finally broke free from the ropes and managed to climb out of the hideous junkyard. I could smell that he had been in the junkyard. He stomped out of the kitchen and stopped in the doorway of the lounge... There was quiet... Then I guess he headed to his Winnebago. A grin came upon my face as I thought about all the bad and awful things that could have been done to him. But I didn't want to kill the bass player and end up on the news; I don't think there was a way to kill him. Two hours fly by and the sun is starting to pop out, 2-D soon walks in and plops down beside me, me however, I am still starring at the T.V. 2-D looks at me and then the phone, he grabs it and hands it over to me.
"Have you tied again?" ; My eyes move for the first time over to the phone. I shook my head and yawned. He held out the phone to me. "Well, then I fink you should." ; I looked at the phone and took it from him. I dialed Mike's number and waited. RING, RING, RING.
"You have reached Mike's cell, I'm either not here or somewhere... Leave a message so I can eventually get back to you." ; Click went the phone. I heard the elevator doors open. I threw down the phone on the couch and lay curled up on the couch. Murdoc came out and stood in the doorway looking at us, my eyes darted over at him, my vision was getting a little blurry from lack of sleep.
"Have you heard from your mate lately?" ; he asked chuckling. I scrambled to my feet and started to dash over to him and beat the hell out of him until 2-D grabbed my arms and held me back.
"MURDOC THAT'S ENOUGH! WHY DON'T YOU GO AND PLAY AROUND IN YOUR SATAN OUTFIT OR SOMEFINK?!" ; 2-D yelled trying to hold me back. Murdoc frowned,
"HAVE YOU SEEN MY OUTFIT?!" ; DING DONG. Went the doorbell. Everyone quit squalling and looked at the hallway that led to the front doors. 2-D let me go and I ran over to the door thinking that maybe it was Mike. Before I opened the door I fixed my hair and straighten out the sweatshirt. I opened the door and saw that in wasn't Mike.
"Hey Lex!" ; It was Ashley.
"Ashley? What are you doing here?" ; She walked in and looked around.
"Well I thought that since the guys were still at the bar I'd come and visit you. I had nothing else to do." ; I got worried.
"They're still at the bar? They stayed at the bar all night?!" ; she nodded.
"Well, Mike did. I mean Billie Joe came back to the hotel and went to bed but when we found out Mike never came back he went to go see him at the bar to see that he was still there." ; I scratched my head and went back to the lounge.
"Oh, well everyone's in the lounge... Come and sit." ; Murdoc had left about the time we stepped in. I plopped by 2-D and stare at the T. V. Ashley came and sat down too and began to stare at 2-D. I caught her glance at 2-D and then looked at 2-D who looked like he was about to doze off, then looked back at Ashley. "What's wrong?" ; I asked in a whisper.
"What's wrong with his eyes?" ; she asked in another whisper. 2-D rubs his head and without looking at us he responds to her question,
"Um, I was hit in the head by Murdoc... "; Ashley and me looked at him. I don't think he was gonna tell us with what. Ashley looked like she was gonna freak out.
"Hit in the head?" ;
"Twice!" ; he replied with a smile. I laughed a little. "Was in a coma too." ; We all went quiet a few minuets. I looked at the phone, that sat on the couch next to me.
"Um, about Mike... Have you tried calling him?" ; she asked. I nodded.
"I got the message thingy. I think he's really pissed... "; she nodded.
"I could have told you that. Which I already did." ; She grabbed her car rental keys. "Well I gotta go, Billie Joe should be coming back soon." ; I got up too.
"Wait, I want to go. Call Billie Joe and find out what bar they are at and take me there please!" ; I then ran off down to my room to get ready.
Minuets later we were in the car on our way to some "Drunken Monkey"; bar. We pulled up and before the engine was turned off I got out of the car and headed inside. The place looked familiar,
"Hey aren't you that girl who was with Mr. Niccals?" ; I looked over at this huge bartender.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" ; I began looking around. Ashley began laughing,
"I think you do Lex, hahahahahahahahahahahaa!" ; Finally I spotted two guys who appeared to be Billie Joe and Mike. I froze in place as I thought about how I was going to approach him.
