"Lex what are you doing I told you never to touch my stuff, especially my facepaint and hairdye" shouted siva. Lex was the only one allowed near her stuff and it was a logical explanation.
"I never touched you stuff" he replied. "Do I look like a girl? Would I need girly stuff? I think you'll find the answer to that is NO"
~*~
Siva was really getting annoyed for a week her stuff had been going missing and she didnt know who was taking it. Life at the mall was really starting to get her down. Pride was always on at her. He would say she was a traitor but really he was. She had seen him sneaking into rams place 4 nights in row what the hell was he up to. She had to find out and the only way was to sneak in but how?
~*~
Lex. Come here shouted Siva
What, do you want to call me a girl again and accuse me of taking your things replied Lex bitterly.
No. I want to ask you something
Go on babes, what is it
You know what its like to have an addiction and I wanted to know if wellWhen you have given it up to you still have a craving from time to time. Said asked Siva.
Yes. That is true but why do you want to know that anyway
Something was going round in Sivas head it all made sense now. Pride wanted to play the game and Know what Ram was like he had probably bribed Pride into doing his dirty work in exchange for game passes.
Come on Siva. I asked you a question said Lex impatiently
Oh, O.k. then. For the last 4 days Pride has been going to Rams place and I want to get in there and find out whats going on Siva told Lex
Well youll never get in there unless for some strange reason the guards thought you were Java.
Lex youre a genius
Well I always thought so!
~*~
Siva held her breath and strutted into Salenes office. If this plan was going to work she needed Salenes cooperation. Sal has access to the Technos, she was the city leader after all but Pride was her partner. She had stuck up for him in the past so why not now? Lexs plan was to get her sisters mask because in the mask they looked identical - Ram would never know the difference. The only problem was how to get rid of Java.
Salene can I talk to you ventured Siva its about Prideand the Technos
Whats, he done this time then?
Well I dont actually know, I need your help. Asked Siva
tell me and Ill see replied Sal tell what you think is going on
So Java sat down and told Salene the whole story about Prides visits to Ram and Lexs plan.
~*~
O.k. Ill help you only because I want to prove to you that Pride Is over his addiction said Salene
I dont care what your motives are either way its great Replied Siva with her voice full of excitement, Ill go get Lex and we can decide what to do. Oh another thing have you seen my Hair dye and Face paint recently. Theyve gone missing
No, but Ill keep a look out for them
Thanks
Meanwhile Pride had gone on one of his trips again to see Ram but this time he had a bag of stuff with him. He approached the Palace still clutching his bag.
Password
Hair dye and face paint he replied and wandered in.
Once inside Pride knew exactly what to do. All that was required was that he dropped the bag off and he would get what he wanted.
Ah my number one customer said Ram with a crooked smile just what I wanted he snatched the bag away from Pride.
Ram, if you dont mind me asking what exactly do you need with that stuff?
If you ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer. Replied Ram with an evil glint in his eye GUARDS! Seize him!
What about my credits
Take them Ram tossed them at Pride just before the guards hauled him out of the Room.
~*~
By the time salene got to Ram's Pride was long gone. She walked up to the door and went in. Sal wasn't there to see Ram but his one faithful wife Java. From around a corner she heared the fimillar sound of Ram's wheelchair, Salene didn't really want to see Ram, to tell you the truth he freeked her out a bit. She quickly dodged into a nearby room only to be greeted by Java.
"what are you doing here" scremed Java
"shhhhhhh. I need your help with something"
"What is it?" replied Java "is there anything in it for me?"
"Well there could be if you cooperate" said Salene
Salene told here about wanting to prove Prides innocents because everyone else though he was seeing Ram in private. She told Java that Siva wanted to take her place for a while to find out what was going on.
"So you want me to go live with the Virt's" she almost spat out the word, "so you can spy on Ram. Well the answer is NO!"
~*~
Lex and Siva put their ears up to the door they had quietly sneaked into the palace when no one was looking. Salene said if she wanted their help she would call. Their job was to tie up Java and leave Siva in her place but that was only if Java didnt cooperate. Outside the building Patch and Dee were waiting with the getaway vehicle a wheelbarrow!
Inside the room Salene was loosing her patients
Well you leave me with no choice shouted Salene Lex, Siva come here
Lex and Siva ran into the room. They threw the rope over her head and pulled it tight.
Siva grab her mask and DONT take it off, whatever Ram says ordered Lex
Guarmmm Lex quickly shoved a sock in her mouth!
Lets get out of here
They all ran out of the room Java had a sack on her head so nobody knew who she was and so did Lex because after all he wasnt allowed in here. The group wandered up to the exit.
Java what are you doing? quizzed one of the guards.
We have some prisoners to take to the mines let us out replied Siva
O.K
Once they were out the quickly hurried around the corner to where Dee and Patch were waiting.
Lex pulled the bag off his head man did that stink
We dont care about you, we need to get Java out of here said Patch
Are you shooer we should be doing this said Dee
Yes now get her in the wheelbarrow already Ordered Siva
~*~
Well I better get back to Ram Siva said.
Bye the others replied in union.
They parted company. Patch was in charge of pushing the get away vehicle. Hard to believe I know but although he looks wimpy he is pretty strong! They had found an old abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town in which they planned to keep Java until Siva found out what was going on with Pride. The warehouse was not far from sector 5. It was in bad condition most of the tiny windows had been smashed. They all wandered in Patch still pushing the wheelbarrow. They were planning on locking their captive in the kitchen and putting bolts on the door that could only be opened from the out side. The bag started to wriggle and the alliance heard the familiar sound of the laser getting warmed up.
Its her laser, shouted Dee get rid of it before she tries to kill us
~*~
O.k. wish me luck Im going in, said Lex nervously
Get on with it already stuttered Patch I dont want to be killed
Lex dived into the bag and seconds later came back clutching the chrome device that was on javas arm.
Well done Lex now lets get her inside
They all took her into the old abandoned kitchen. On the side they had left her some food to cook with. Lex grabbed her arms while patch untied them this was a dangerous job one wrong move and she would be gone. Finally the got her untied and slammed and bolted the door.
Now whos laughing? shouted Lex
Siva walked into Rams office she was going to get to the bottom of this problem.
Ram, Ive seen one of those smelly mall rats coming in here a lot recently. What is he doing?
My sweet Java youll find out sooner of later. NOW give me a massage
