| BRANCH PROMISED ME ANOTHER CHAPTER OF FIREFLIES. THIS IS SHORT. AND TERRIBLE. I RUSHED IT. CAPSLOCK IS GOOD. Also, the infamous quote has returned! Written by my favorite poet of all time himself! =D - Spoiler:
Chapter 4
"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'"
Death is a funny thing, when you think about it. I mean, you live a little while, life stinks, and you die. Sad, right? Not. Death is just another part of life, which is why I don't mind it. If there's one thing that's certain in life, it's death and taxes, right? We're minors, so we don't pay taxes. But there's still random death to look forward to, right? But then, people die an awful lot, for a race that's supposedly so advanced and intelligence.
How is it that we're in the 21st century and we don't have hovercars or immortality elixirs yet?
Ben sprang to his feet, shocked, and rushed past me. "Are you sure they're dead? Maybe we can save them!" he cried, sprinting to the holding cells.
I tucked my hands in my pockets and shrugged, casually following him. "Nope, dead as a goat."
Ben gave me a curious look before typing several codes into the keypad. Lisa had them changed since we'd broken out.
Mon frere stepped back with a desperate sigh. "How do we open it?"
"Allow me to take a bit of experience from my good friend John Watson," I stepped back, then kicked open the glass door. "Heck yeah! That just happened!" I yelled, jumping in the air like an excited kid.
Ben felt the peoples' pulses, then finally pulled back. "Nothing," he murmured.
Meanwhile, I was doing something other than gripe over dead guys. I entered the security office and slid in the chair, rewinding the surveillance tapes. I could see the figures of several people in black suits slipping in the headquarters. They were led by one, who grabbed Lisa. My blood boiled at that. After he dragged Lisa's comatose body out, others walked in and headed for the network of hallways connecting our rooms, the labratories, the offices, everything.
There was nothing more to be gathered from the tapes. I left the room and noticed Ben optimistically giving the dead bodies CPR. I sighed and grabbed his wrist, dragging him out of the holding cell to investigate the main room. Where Lisa was taken.
Ben kicked at first, then gave up and walked near me, staring at the floor. "They're dead." he whispered.
"Thank you, Cap'n Obvious!" I replied lightly.
Ben glared at me, but something told him this was not the time for another ethical argument. I closed my eyes, remembering the footage, and stepped where Lisa had been taken. She was looking at a laptop. I opened my eyes. No laptop. Not good.
I heard a tapping at the door. "Hm? Must be the rest of the gang." I mused over how friendly they were towards us outside of "work" and how much fun we'd had before that good-for-nothing Tyler showed up. Ben was looking over the assorted papers that lay haphazardly on the table. I opened the door, and before I knew it, something rushed past me.
Suddenly Ben tumbled across the room and rolled on the top of the table, scattering papers. I felt a strong arm wrap around my neck, and the unmistakable barrel of a gun dig into my ribcage (which was still sore from my injury). I choked at the lack of air as Ben jumped to his feet and charged at whoever was holding me, and then...then...I can't remember...
LE GASP! SUGAR BEANS. MONKEY TOILET. ESKIMO CHLOROPHYLL. ...No, I haven't been sleeping. Don't ask. XD | |

WHERE DID YOU PEOPLE COME FROM?! XD And I'm not updating until I see Chapter 9 of Fireflies, Branch. Half because I haven't written anything else, half because I'm lazy. XD
Oh, and 100% because you royal promised. And you can't break a royal promise, Finn. | |

| You know what? I just finished chapter 5, and it's longer, and I was like, "Eh. Why not." But that means Branch owes me the next chapter of Fireflies and a leaf from a gingko tree. Oh, and SEE IF YOU CAN GUESS WHOSE POINT OF VIEW IT IS. XD - Spoiler:
Chapter 5
“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent.”
"They're gone." I put my hands on my hips. "Somebody get me a machine gun."
"If I did that, you'd have caused World War III," Jay teased, hopping in a swivel chair, which slid down the table so he could look at the papers that had fallen to the floor. "Please tell me they didn't throw a party while they were alone?"
Subs shook his head. "Nope. Ms. Killjoy wouldn't have let 'em."
Lauren frowned at Anna, who was excitedly texting on her cell phone. "Don't tell me that's--"
"Tyler!" Anna answered triumphantly. "He said we should go watch Alpha and Omega!"
Lauren wrinkled her nose in disgust. "That movie's for kids."
Anna flipped her cell phone shut in annoyance, but gave no retort.
I absent-mindedly twisted a lock of dark brown hair around my finger. "I'm going to go check their room."
Subs grinned, "I still don't understand why Ben would agree to sharing a room with Dan."
Jay hopped up. "I'll go look in the artillery closet. We all know Dan loves to sit there and sing lullabies to the Winchester."
A resounding chorus of giggles from the agents immediately followed.
I opened the door to the room Dan and Ben shared. On one side, papers with words and drawings scribbled on them littered the floor and desk, a musical keyboard lay upside down on the bed with its batteries out, and several old paperbacks were scattered on the bed. Dan's side, of course. I sighed. Couldn't he at least keep the books in the bookcase they shared?
On the other side, it was neat. The bed wasn't made, though, and a stack of books lying by the bed betrayed the thought that Ben was the cleanliness foil of Dan. A small TV sat on a table beside a laptop and iPad.
There were two cages in the room; one for the bird Merle, and the other for the ferret Basil. Ben's well-mannered dark brown cat stretched on the floor. I walked to Merle's cage and studied the paper lining for Merle's--ahem--leavings to drop on. I could make out a sentence on a scrap of paper near the edge:
18. Ben is not a witch.
I should've known. Good grief. I ran my fingers through my hair. So where were Ben and Dan?
As soon as I left the room, I heard Subs shout something. I ran back to the main room and saw Subs emerge from a connected hallway that led to the holding cells. "It's Ben!" he gasped, his reddish hair wild and the shirt with the Cheshire Cat Lauren had bought him rumpled.
Anna, Lauren and I pounded after him, and soon came to a holding cell full of bodies and, apparently, Ben. Jay was already there and tried to shake him awake, yanking a blindfold off him. Ben's eyes snapped open wide and he let out a yelp as I slapped him into consciousness. Anna picked a note off of his shirt sleeve. "What's this?" she murmured.
"They've...they've got--!" Ben stammered.
"They've got Dan." I finished bitterly, reading over Anna's shoulder.
Dear Agents,
It really was nice meeting you at Wendy's. But I'm afraid that you made your mistake in letting that hotshot Danny and the smart one Ben leave. Now I have two hostages. Oh, and Anna? We're not going to see a movie any time soon.
-Tyler
Anna stared at the letter, repeating the words quietly. I threw my hands in the air and grabbed Jay by the front of his hoodie. "Get me a machine gun! Anybody!" I screamed, while Jay coolly guided my wrists away from him.
"I am going to beat him. With a baseball bat. And dunk his miserable corpse in a vat of honey, then leave him in an apiary!" Anna yelled vehemently, ripping the letter to shreds.
Lauren stomped on the bits of paper. "Yeah! And I'll get some gasoline and a blowtorch and--"
"Hold it!" Jay interrupted. "What good is this doing?"
Lauren frowned, obviously unhappy to have her tirade cut off.
I took a deep breath. "It's good for relieving stress," I offered softly, clenching my hands into fists.
Subs untied Ben's hands behind his back and helped him to his feet. He shook his head like a wet dog does and sighed. "I know this seems bad." he croaked. "But Dan won't let them make a fool out of him. He's tough."
...
"He's been singing for two. Hours." Lisa Renee Hammons hissed behind clenched teeth. "Will you please. Give him. A gag?!"
The woman with dark brown hair and green eyes smiled sweetly. "Now why would we do that, when it's evidently torturing you so?" Now Lisa was even more certain she'd seen the woman somewhere before...
After listening to Dan McGavok complain about his wrist and ribs hurting again, the rogue FBI agents gave in and injected him with some sort of chemical...morphine, possibly. Lisa was almost positive they didn't even know what they'd given Dan, they'd just hoped he would shut up.
The plan had backfired.
Dan was now singing at the top of his lungs, swaying from side to side.
"Shut up, McGavok!" Lisa spat.
"Hiiiiiiiii!" Dan sang loudly. "It's nice to seeeeee youuuuu!"
Lisa tossed her head back and squeezed her eyes shut. "Why, why, why?" she whimpered brokenly.
"Because I looooooooove youuuuuuu!" Dan returned in melody.
Lisa was glad Dan wasn't hurt, but they were still hostages. And to make things worse, Dan was singing. Albeit not badly, but he was singing.
Today was just not her day.

| It felt wrong to just leave with two new rules I drew on MS Paint in exactly 3 minutes, so I'm going to deliver Chapter 6. Which I may or may not have just finished. XD Short, but it was fun writing more about my adventures, annoying Lisa. XD I'll update refs and questions tomorrow! - Spoiler:
Chapter 6
“You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction.”
"Do...re...mi...fa...so...LATVIA!" Dan sang.
Lisa Renee Hammons was not amused.
She dug the heel of her shoe into his leg. "Daniel McGavok, snap out of it!" she growled.
"Snap? Like, a zing? You gonna need ointment for that burn?" Dan giggled.
"Wake up, Danny. We're hostages."
"Everybody's a hostage nowadays."
"There's a good chance they're going to kill one of us."
"I don't care, it's my life! It's now or never--"
"Yes, it is your life, and mine! So shut up!"
The captors evidently had grown tired of Dan's antics too, and decided that letting Lisa suffer under Dan's drugged singing was cruel and unusual...even for them.
"So what do they do? Inject him with more of that stuff." Lisa cursed under her breath as Dan leaned against her.
"Liiiisa. Ever noticed, how the 'i' sounds like an 'e'? Hey, buddy!" He directed his gaze to a beetle scuttling across the floor. "Where're you headed? Gas station?"
Lisa closed her eyes and prayed.
"Peter! I have the music box!" Now Dan was struggling to sit up, kicking his feet. "Kate! NOOOOO!"
Lisa desperately scooted away from him, but Dan fell on her lap. "Lisa. Hiiiiii!"
"Hi, Danny."
"Hiiiiiiiii!"
"Hi."
"Would you just shut up?"
"Ditto." Lisa rolled her eyes, but realized it was hopeless to try and escape from him.
"Lisa."
"Daniel."
Dan snorted, "That's not my name. Silly goose. I want you to know...I...I can't ride a bike."
Lisa bit her lip and faked a smile. "It's okay, Danny. We'll get through it."
"Together?"
"Yes."
"That's good." Dan's tone made him sound like a child, but then, he was. Lisa smiled.
Dan shot her a lop-sided grin. "What're you smiling about?"
Lisa looked away. "I wasn't." Inwardly, now, and she was embarrassed by it. How a teenager's petulance and immaturity cheered her up.
But then, it was distracting, too. They were kidnapped, and it was no time for singing.
...
You rub your eyes, and manage a shaky sigh, before cursing out Dan's tendency to get in over his head. You curse out his insolence, his aloofness, his stupidity. If things were the other way around, you never would've gotten taken.
You immediately feel regret at having soiled your language, always being a bit spiritual. How is it that he can be so weird and detached, yet people respected him? You have ideas too. But whenever you vocalize them, you seem to get in trouble. Don't you deserve respect, if not to be listened to? More than him, at least?
You've pain-stakingly replaced every bit of paper Anna ripped in the midst of her fury, taped it together, and reread the note several times. Tyler's smart, but he's arrogant. He'd be the type to give a clue as to his whereabouts...just to show off. You can almost see his smug smirk. And you realize Dan was right about him. But you ignore that and keep on examining the note. In the pocket of your khaki pants, you're playing with the pen Tyler slipped in your hand after he blind-folded you. It clicks on and off, but no tip for writing. Instead, it shines a weird blueish light. You pull it out, curiosity stirred, and click it, on and off. Blue light, no blue light. Blue light, no blue light. A thought occurs to you, and you shine the blue light over the paper on the note. Nothing. You flash it on the back of the note.
Hello!
In bright green-white letters, reads--
DZIVSLFHV 4
QZXPHLM HGIVVG
It's definitely a code, that much is clear. Is it wrong that you secretly wish someone else had been kidnapped so that Dan was here? He did love a good secret message; if anyone could crack a code, it was Dan. Your eyes lift to study each agent as they work in a whirlwind, Anna still emits a foul mood as he types on her laptop, Lauren stays close, but it's clear she's upset too, Becca betrays nothing, Subs looks frustrated, and Jay realizes he's hit a dead end. You look down at the code on the back of the paper, and for a moment, you feel like you're about to tell them.
But where would the fun be in that?
You fold the note carefully, sliding it in your pocket along with the penlight, and push your chair back. You leave the room on the excuse of a breath of fresh air, but you're definitely going to the book store.
You're definitely getting a guide to ciphers.
And you are definitely rescusing your best friend, no matter what.
