Another Story Without End.

[Spoonboy]

So far the first is doing brilliantly, without my interference. I have decided, therefore, to post another with just the title and let you all do your best.

The title is "VOLCANO SPRINGS"

Again, this is just for fun, and I promise not to interfere with the story one dot.

Many thank you's in advance. And have fun.

"What do you see?" whispered one of the agents. The little girl let go of the window opening with her left hand and held it aside her mouth as though it was a magical whispering device and said "I can see the car"
"Do you mean the truck?"
"Yes"
"Is there anybody about?, is it safe to climb in" without reply the little girl started to climb in through the window, once inside she peered back through and said "yep its safe". After a bit of a squeeze and a few quietly hushed curses about the sizes of windows in Volcano Springs the three were inside grouched low to the ground one of the agents looked at the other and whispered...

I like your aftershave it smells so tangy .... "quit it will you?" said the little girl, "we're supposed to be rescuing Spot my zebra" ....

[Arksided]

The short silence that followed was quickly interrupted by a quick short but loud siren sound making all three jump. Two doors opened at the far end of the room and in poured a dozen men and women wearing white coats, safety goggles and gloves. As the room slowly filled the three decided it was best to find a hiding place to figure out what to do. After they'd relocated to what must have been a cleaning storage room. One of the agents said "I have a cunning plan"
"What is it?" Inquired the other
"Well...

[nungate]

.... "this is a cleaning cupboard right" said the agent with the nice aftershave,
"well, first of all we must put on these rubber gloves and goggles, do you see any of those white coats anywhere?" "No," said the one without the aftershave .... "let's see what is in this cupboard" said the little girl, "I mean if this is meant to be a cleaning cupboard there might be chemicals and maybe if there are the right sort we could make a smoke bomb or something, and we could escape on Spot"
The agents thought it was part of a plan, but escaping on Spot was not their plan, they had to find out what was going on ....

Three eyes peered inquisitively through the ajar cupboard door one high one low and one wobbling about as though trying to keep balanced.
"now, go now" said the agent without aftershave, the little girl rushed out of the door which was as quickly shut ajar again behind her, she crouched behind one of the three large shiny metallic vats which occupied a third of the room, she waited then saw the thumb pointing upwards... she quickly dashed to next two in a series of quick dashes.

When she had returned joy at her bravery was assured. She had collected a white coat in which fitted the agent without aftershave very well, she wasn't even concerned about her rear.
Now time for the second part of 'operation Spotted-Zebra'...

You know Arky I'm starting to go off you!! ;-)

... The agent not wearing the aftershave put on the white coat, and with the rubber gloves and the safety goggles she looked just like the rest of the folks in that vast industrial hall. Going to the surveillance kit, she removed a small black box, and a lollipop which she gave to the little girl (were they thinking about that poor child's teeth? I think not!) Slowly she opened the door of the cleaning cupboard, and quietly sidled out, trying to look as though she belonged there, she began to make her way across to the truck which held the little girl's beloved pet zebra ...

After its ordeal the Agent thought that Spot would be lying down however she seemed quite alert and was standing. The agent casually placed a tracking device on the truck and moved away trying not to be noticed.
After carefully placing two hidden micro cameras in the room the agent without aftershave returned to the cupboard with a clipboard she managed to collect along the way.

[Arksided]

..and Lol what ever do you mean ;-)

[Spoonboy]

:-))

[nungate]

it's all these cliffhangers ... how am I supposed to come up with something?
My brain hurts!

[Arksided]

lol same here...

[Arksided]

I can't even think what they would possibly be doing there that requires a Zebra??????

[cupid04]

zebra crossing?

[Spoonboy]

I know that I said that I would not interfere; but you seem to be in a pickle. Why not have them trying to figure out why the Zebra crosses roads with little girls in the first place.

[nungate]

.... attached to the clipboard were some photos ... photos of the agents, the girl, and of the crash! What was going on? Who are these people? And just who is the man pointing the gun ....

[nungate]

the zebra is the little girl's pet, He's called Spot

[Arksided]

(T)e.s.c.o was a hint toward the supermarket of which all this started. hence the Zebra part....

[nungate]

I got that but, I was trying to use it as an acronym for a sinister organisation or government department (which of course does not exist)

[Spoonboy]

You are doing brilliantly by the way. I am actually loving the direction the story takes every time I look in. What happened to Missie Childs?!
