"Wha...WHAT THE HELL?" were the first words that came out of Gigi's mouth when she realized that what had just happened was not a nightmare at all. When she gained consciousness, she found herself in the strangest building. The walls and floor were all completely see-through, and the small bed that Gigi was attached to was the only piece of furniture in the whole room. Looking through the floor, she caught a glimpse of a huge looking figure in black trying to walk up the set of moving stairs to the room she was in. Gigi struggled to break the sort of glowing transparent tube ropes assuming the dark figure was the kidnapper.
"Gigi!" Lenny yelled breathlessly after climbing the stairs with all his strength.
"Lenny...how...where..." Gigi felt such an impact of fear and relief that she couldn't say another word for sometime-- even after Lenny unbounded her from the rock-hard bed silently, also sucking in the odd surroundings of the 31st century.
Finally, when Lenny helped Gigi up to look around, she was now able to say everything she had been thinking about during their spell of silence. "Where are we? How did you get here? Why are we here? Are you okay? Who brought me here? How long was I knocked out?" Gigi spit it all out so fast that it sounded merely like a slur of complete gibberish.
Luckily, Lenny, being her best friend for just about forever, knew exactly what Gigi had said and he murmured in a barely audible low voice, "Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know and I don't know... but I do know that we need to get out of here, and that there is no time right now for questions." He flashed his most brave sympathetic smile noticing Gigi's furrowed eyebrows and confused frown.
"Yeah, you're probably right." she sighed thoughtfully.
"Then let's get--" Lenny's reply was interrupted by the loud sinister footsteps of another human. Lenny grabbed Gigi's hand and ran to the only exit-- the exit that the dark tall figure was entering.
"Hey! STOP RIGHT NOW!! I am armed, and I will hurt you if you do not FREEZE!" yelled a familiar Australian accent. Without replying, the two kids sprinted past the kidnapper-- bumping into him, causing a strange food that looked like glowing sushi and a blue liquid he was bringing up to Gigi to clatter loudly on the strange moving stairs.
"Five second rule!" yelled the wild-eyed Lenny, and with one swift movement, he picked up a few bits of the glowing sushi and gave the man a weak shove into the see-through wall. But the crazed person was too fast for Lenny.
"Let--GO!" Lenny wheezed as the man grabbed him by his neck and practically threw him into the opposite glass wall. The boy colapsed and looked up at Gigi with pain seeping out of every bit of his body.
"Lenny!" her quivering and quiet voice had fear etched into it. But suddenly, that fear turned into pure madness. Madness toward the man who had hurt Lenny. Madness toward the glass walls that were taunting her with their transparent illusion of freedom. Madness toward the stupid tunnel of light and dark that had taken Lenny and her here. She began to shake with madness in fact... Meanwhile, the kidnapper was glaring at her with his emotionless gold eyes, like a cheetah waiting for the right moment to pounce on its pray.
With two steps, the man was standing right in front of her. He lunged for Gigi's neck, hands in front of his body.
"No!" she screamed, madness overflowing. She turned away from Lenny and grabbed for the big hands and dug her nails into the hard skin of the man. Wincing with pain, the dark suited man stepped on both of her feet and janked her toward him then grabbed her pajama collar and lifted her 12 inches into the air. He smiled the most cold and heartless smile in what seemed like the universe. Getting ready to knock Gigi out again, he teasingly shook her. But Gigi wasn't about to be pushed around again. Gasping for breath, she kicked and punched and bit and lunged, letting the feeling of mad urge her on.
But, it was too late.
