Tomorrow Comes Today (sequel to Livin With The Gorillaz), chapter 2
The next day 2-D and I were woke up by the squeaking on cell doors.
"Alright... you two are free to go. Appears that you two had nothing to do with his actions." He pointed his nightstick at Murdoc lying on the floor. I leaped out of the cell and stretched my arms. Murdoc opened his eyes, WIDE, then sat up.
"You two jokers better come back to get me or so help keep yourselves safe I'll get revenge." He grinned in an evil way. I grabbed 2-D's arm and we left.
"Um, Lex. How are we gonna get back home?" we stopped. I looked at him.
"You're right. Geez... I guess I could call Ashley." I said looking back at the police station. I really didn't want to go back in there. I looked around for another option. I spotted a phone booth. "Hey, got any change?" I asked while digging in my pocket. He began digging too. As soon as we scrounged for enough change we called Ashley,
"Hello? I told you damn telemarketers that WE DON'T WANT YOUR STUPID PEN COLLECTION!" she yelled on the phone.
"Ash?" I asked confused. "You ok?"
"Lex? Hey, no I'm not... damn telemarketers keep calling. What's up?" I looked out of the phone booth. 2-D was sitting on the edge of a sidewalk sharing a cig with a hobo.
"I need a favor."
"Lex, you're not in trouble are you?!"
"No but I need a ride back to the studios."
"Soooo... you were in trouble and now need a ride?"
"Just get over here! 2-D, me and a hobo are standing next to this stupid police station." I hung up. I walked over to 2-D, whom was talking to the hobo. I stopped looked at the hobo and looked at 2-D. Then the cigs. Why look at the cigs? Hell if I know. 2-D saw me look at them and offered me one, but I shook my head. I gave a small wave at the hobo and plopped down on the sidewalk in wait of Ashley. 2-D sat next to me.
"Well?" he asked, lighting the cig.
"I think she's coming to get us." I replied. The hobo began to walk away.
Soon after 2 hours of sitting in the sun and talking about weird stuff like the last time we both did something that creeped us out, or the last time we went crazy. Ashley finally finds us and pulls over on the side of the road. We got in the backseat. Billie Joe was with her.
"You know how many police stations I had to search to find you guys?!" she snapped. We both jumped. That sounded like my mom. 2-D opened his mouth to speak but as soon as he did Ashley snapped again, "Geez! So what did you guys do this time?!" 2-D spoke fast this time,
"It wasn't our fault. Murdoc did something bad and they accused us to be with him." He said throwing the cig out the window.
"Which we weren't!" I jumped in. Billie Joe laughed. Now this guy laughed at Murdoc, he even laughed at his name! He's actually met Murdoc; Ashley however is a little jumpy when he's around so that's why she rarely visits. Ashley finally calmed down,
"Ok, that's good to know. Glad you two didn't "Do It" on someones front lawn or something." She sighed. 2-D smirked. "Well I was gonna call and tell you, but since you're here I'll tell ya'll now. We're thinking about having a Halloween bash. You gonna come? I think Denise and Willie are coming to visit and stay with us."
"Hell yes!" I shouted.
"You HAVE to dress up. That's what Halloween is about." Said Ashley.
"I'll go as a pirate I guess." I said.
2-D looked confused. Then said,
"Jack Skelington." Billie Joe laughed again.
"Hey man, you got a cig on ya?" he asked. 2-D groaned and handed him one. He was down to one. I glanced at the cigs. It was bothering me for some reason. Ashley snatched the cig away from Billie Joe and lit it. She inhaled like it was her first breath as a new born. I was shocked.
"ASHLEY!" I kicked the back of her seat, which made her choke. The car swirled. "I didn't know you smoked!" She handed it back to Billie Joe who was also shocked.
"I don't." she growled. "I'm just a little stressed, with all the moving and Denise and Willie coming for a visit. Ant Tre wanting to move out too-"
"Tre's coming to live out here too?!" I interrupted.
"Yep." She sounded cheery that time. It made me wonder how Mike was doing. Without any of us there for him to talk too... where will he go? We arrived at Kong Studios, where we all got out of the car and walked inside. I was close to 2-D, he was humming a tune. A sweet, blue melody. Me and Ashley sat on the couch in the lounge room. I flicked on the T.V. 2-D and Billie Joe I guess went into the kitchen to talk. Flicking the channels Ashley, out of the blue says,
"Hey I came up with a new game just now... " her eyes glued to the television.
"What is it?" I said glaring at the T.V.
"Think of weird places to have sex at." I quit flicking channels.
"In a sandbox." I said.
"On top of a SUV." She said laughing.
"On top of a SUV... going down hill." I replied.
"In the rain."
"OOO! I need to take notes!" I said laughing. "Um... in a Nirvana concert, in the mosh pit, listening to "Rape Me". " I said proud of myself.
"Good one." She said. Billie Joe and 2-D came walking in and sat down with us.
"Sup?" asked Billie Joe.
"Playing a game." She said. "Its called: Weird places to have sex." Billie Joe looked a little surprised and said,
"Watching a porno and listening to 'Like a Rat Does Cheese'." We all laughed. 2-D then put his arm around my shoulders.
"On the rooftop, in the rain, listening to 'Re-Hash' or the 'Sound Check (Gravity)' song you like so much." said 2-D. I kind of grinned just then.
"Oh hey Lex, wanna come with me to shop around for stuff on our costumes?"
"Yea sure." I said yawning a bit. I was tired... from that night at jail.
When they left, I thought 2-D went to bed. He must have been tired as well, but he did give me an idea. I went outside and looked at the sky. It was a clear night, for once this week. I saw a ladder leaning against the wall, curious I climbed it to see someone had been trying to fix the T.V satellite. Maybe it busted during the last thunderstorm. I walked onto the roof and looked around. The sun was setting, more like melting onto the city. It was beautiful; I went over to the edge then sat down. I sat cross-legged and leaned back on my hands watching the sunset. It wasn't long till I heard something familiar. A song that I like. Gravity. A very moving song indeed. I look over to my right to see a little beat up boom box and 2-D's eyes peeping over the edge of the roof. I waved my hand and motioned him over. He climbed up grabbing the box then sat beside me.
"What'cha looking at?" he asked looking at the sky. I smiled and leaned on his shoulder.
"The sky. More like the melting sun." I replied. He nodded. He then took his hand, which lifted my head, and he kissed me. He reached over and replayed the Gravity song. He was warm, until his cold hands started to lift my shirt. Still kissing passionately, he placed my shirt on the concrete under me which made me lay on my back...
Then we started to shed all the clothes...
Under the peaceful night...
While the voice of an angel sang Gravity...
"Alright... you two are free to go. Appears that you two had nothing to do with his actions." He pointed his nightstick at Murdoc lying on the floor. I leaped out of the cell and stretched my arms. Murdoc opened his eyes, WIDE, then sat up.
"You two jokers better come back to get me or so help keep yourselves safe I'll get revenge." He grinned in an evil way. I grabbed 2-D's arm and we left.
