Against The Sun We're The Enemy

"Where's Frank?" she asked.

"Oh he's outside. Went to get a smoke." Gerard said.

She nodded and went outside.

"Hmm. Maybe somethings going on with them." Evelyn thought out loud.

We all just looked at her.

"What?" she asked.

"Of course something's going on. Didn't you see them last night?" I asked.

"Well yea, but I was just saying..."

We laughed and kept on talking.


After another while, Chasity and Frank came back. We all finished eating breakfast when we got a call for Dr. Death.

"Dear Killjoys, I know you have a plan to get Grace back. It'd be better if you put that plan to action soon. We don't want Grace to get hurt, and the longer we wait, the more possibilities of that happening. Sorry for the short notice. This is Dr. Death from Rout Guano, signing off." and with that, the message ended.

We looked at one another with looks of panic and fear.

"If we have to go soon," Gerard started, "we should leave this week."

"But Gee, we're not ready." Mikey said.

"We aren't ready, and I know that but we have to go with what preparation we have." Gerard explained.

"We'll go in 3 days." Frank said.

I felt my face pale. 3 days? Why so soon?

"But we'll all go, right?" I asked, scared. I looked at Mikey with pleading eyes.

"We already talked about this. It's too dangerous. We don't want you to get hurt." Mikey answered.

"Fuck no! We're not going to just sit around while you go risk your lives! We want to help! We know it's dangerous but if we help each other, we can get Grace back. It'll be easier." Chasity said in frustration.

"No. We're sorry but it can't happen. So just drop it. Please." Frank said to Chasity.

Chasity sighed, knowing that we wouldn't win this argument.

"Let's get everything ready. We leave in 3 days and we need to get Grace back." Ray said.
