The
chobot chronicles
Chapter
3- Confessions
Waking up wasn’t a major issue for the
chobot. It’s not like she had any sleep she wished she could have more of, so
waking up just gave her an outlet to get rid of her pent up energy! Bebotron
finished her list and found that she still had 10 minutes to go to the stop and
with so much time on her hands she might as well go up to her neighbor’s flat
and make amends for so rudely closing the door on her face, “although” she
argued with herself, “I was late, so I guess that could serve as an alibi… aww
I’m fooling nobody! Let’s go apologize…”
As
she slowly walked toward her neighbor’s house, (it was a good 3 yards away) immersed
in her own thoughts about what she would say and how she would say it, she
looked nothing short of a squirrel with her faced constantly scrunching up with
her ever changing emotions! The sound of rapidly approaching footsteps roused
her from her thoughts; she quickly looked up to see a light blue chobot. But it
wasn’t the skin tone that caused Bebo to recognize her, it was the unmistakable
look of sheer determination. “Josephine?!” said Bebotron. Josephine was the
head of security at the academy, they weren’t friends but they were each
other’s source of intellectual conversation at any ceremony they were invited
to. It wasn’t that they didn’t find the other Chobots smart, it was just that
the others didn’t think outside of the box. “Bebo, I don’t have much time so
just remember this: answers are found in a place they don’t allow you to look…”
said Josephine hurriedly, desperately and undeniably fearfully. “Wait
Josephine. What are you trying to sa-“Bebo was cut off, much to her annoyance,
by Josephine’s loud whimper. Josephine turned to the direction of her house
(two buildings away from Bebo’s) and ran.
Bebotron continued walking, however now
she walked toward her stop. She found a rather angry Dragonflys looking at her.
“why are you so late?! I swear it’s like you want to get us fired!” he
said belligerently. Bebo looked up with the most ferocious face she could make
and successfully lowered the timbre of her voice to sound all the more
menacing, “Dragonflys, I have no intention of getting us fired! I was busy! And
you won’t get fired because YOU ARE A DAMN CITIZEN! Citizens have perks
remember?! or have you already forgotten your anime mask?! And if you have a
problem, don’t pick me up!” she said it in a way that dared anyone to argue,
though of course no would argue with Bebotron when she is angry, people
have been known to disappear from Popsicle completely when they provoked her
enough! “Okay! You’re right I’m sorry… just could you tell me what’s going on?”
whined a poor Dragonflys “No big D… I can’t. Trust me it isn’t worth it…” and
with that she put on her headphones masking the remainder of Dragonflys’
questions with the loudest nu-metal song she had.
She arrived at her office and, as
expected, the face of her sour-faced boss popped in near her desk. “You’re more
than 5 minutes late now. I’m seriously starting to wonder if you want to
get fired from this job…” Zezoo said annoyingly. It was a stupid thing to say.
Of course she wanted this job! She needed it, she breathed and basically lived
for music! “No Zee. I don’t want to get fired from this job… I’m sorry for
being late. Rest assured it won’t happen again.” mumbled Bebotron. Zezoo was
taken aback. Was this the same girl who verbally outmatched Zezoo anytime she
bullied her? “Okay fine… See that it doesn’t happen again!” and saying that,
she left.
The rest of the day passed more slowly
than Bebotron would’ve liked. She just wanted to go me and drown her confusion
and misery in a bowl of cheese bites! When the time came for her to leave, she
bolted as fast as she could and ran for the car park. To her complete surprise
and utter dismay, she found that Dragonflys car wasn’t in its usual spot. “That
utter scum of a Chobot left me here to find my own method of transportation!”
she muttered to herself “Oh he will pay for this tenfold!” the rest of her one
hour walk was filled thoughts of revenge and gory murder! She reached the door
of her house and bent down to get the key from under the mat. “Okay. It should
be here somewhere I do remember putting it here…” her train of thought quickly
dissipated when she heard the sound of Tripleh yelling about complete
unfairness in a game “AWW COME ON! I WANTED THAT PLACE!” thundered Tripleh. No
doubt they were playing chonopoly… she rang the doorbell furiously several
times as an indication that they better have a good explanation for breaking
into her house. Okay that was over dramatic, her sensible side said, it isn’t
breaking into a house if the keys are in the most obvious place known to chobot
kind! The door was answered by an extremely frightened looking Dan. “Hello
Bebo,” he said trying to give a confident grin but failing miserably his fear
was radiating as was Tripleh’s. He was hiding behind his brother “we –er-
wanted to talk to you…” she strode into her house and found Dragonflys vacating
one of the couches. “So you’re here? Thanks for having me walk all the way to
the same destination you were going too.” She said stiffly and sarcastically.
“S-sorry,” Dragonflys stammered “we just needed to talk to you about…” he
stopped abruptly “Well? About what?” enquired Bebotron warily “about your
behavior these last few days.” Completed Dan. Never had Bebotron so wanted to
fly from her own home. She’d rather be facing down a hundred Zezoos than have
to explain the fact she was possibly one of the witnesses to a kidnapping!
Well, she countered, I was going to tell them at some point. Might as well be
now…
They all sat huddled around the electric
fire place. As soon as she finished her explanation of the past events, Dan
spoke up “We believe you,” he said firmly “only because it corresponds with
this morning’s report on The Chobot Times.” She didn’t know whether to be
relieved by the fact that they believed her or offended by the fact that they
wouldn’t believe her unless she had proof… conundrums, conundrums… “So what do
we do?” Tripleh asked hesitantly after Bebotron finished reading the article.
“well we can’t really tell anyone because if we do who knows what the people
who kidnapped the professor and his brother will do? They might escape or worse
kill the professor and his brother entirely!” she said. There was a murmur of
assent rippling around the tiny crowd. Dragonflys passive expression made it
hard to try and guess what he was thinking “well it’s obvious really,”
Dragonflys said suddenly, startling everyone from their stupor “we solve this
ourselves!” “NO WE DON’T!” Bebotron yelled “I WON’T ALLOW ANYONE TO GET
INVOLVED!” seething horribly, Bebotron sank back into her seat staring at
everyone argumentatively. “Bebo,” started Tripleh “you said it yourself ‘you
become evil if you stand by and let evil happen’ you know so much and if we can
help we should right?” it was a rhetoric question of course they should help!
“Fine! But where do we start?” asked Bebotron “We start by reviewing the
footage at the academy.” said Dragonflys thoughtfully “Good idea! We could
review the tapes and try and see who did it?” agreed Dan “Yeah you guys we
could do that but who will give us access to the security room?” countered
Bebotron “well, we could get Josephine to help she is sort of your friend; she
might give us access…” said Tripleh confidently “that is a good idea.” Bebotron
said slowly “let’s go to her now and see what we can do. She lives two
buildings to the left of me…” a silent agreement was made and they all left for
Dragonflys car.
They reached Josephine’s building without
any major issues, although, Dan, Tripleh and Dragonflys might contradict!
“We didn’t get to EAT!” they whined “guys we’re in the middle of something
important and you can’t get your heads out of your stomachs?!” that shut them
up. They took the elevator to her floor and reached her door. Excitement was bubbling
in everyone’s stomach! Bebotron knocked tentatively. The door swung open with
an eerie creaking sound, looking at each other first, they entered. The smell
of blood and sweat mingled with smoke attacked their noses. Breaking into a run,
Bebotron found something she wished she didn’t find… her whole world crashed
around her, a tidal wave of emotion swept her causing her to sink to the floor
in defeat. Tears fell steadily at the sight before her. Slow black tendrils
warped her vision “the world is fading and I wish I did too” was the only
thought running through her mind before unconsciousness took her to his
labyrinth…
