I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 54

Ozzy awoke with a start a while later, wincing as he held his throbbing head, finding Nessie licking at him, whimpering and yapping as the phone vibrated and rang. Frowning, he groaned answered the phone. "H-hello...?" he mumbled, sitting up with a wince.

Thrax: *he had just managed to sneak ard like a ninja, cutting n slicing dwn everyone without so much as making a peep n got his hypothalamus gland in the chain as he called Oz* Hey, baby. It's me. I've done it. Meet me outside the housing estate entrance. I'm comin' ovr right now, baby *so saying his hand smashed the window n smoothly glided dwn to the ground, avoiding gunshots at the process*

Ozzy blinked in surprise, biting his lip before clicking the phone off and getting up. He rushed around, limping some to get his clothes on and grabbed Nessie. Carefully, he put the Pup in his backpack, leaving a little room for his head as he rushed out to the car before driving off, setting Ness in the back.

Thrax: *dodged the feds a couple of times, hiding n killing in the shadows as he tried to lose them, making a lookout to see if the getaway car was coming*

Ozzy came skidding to a stop, spinning to face the way he came to make his get away. He had his sexy black clothes on, wearing Thrax's sunglasses as he grinned at him. "Get in... 'Baby'?" he imitated Thrax, sniggering to himself as Ness leaned up to the window, yapping at him.

Thrax: *sees him skidding right beside him n grinned. He hopped into the car n the first thing he did was lean ovr n grabbed the cell into a deep kiss before letting him go abruptly* C'mon baby. Lets blow this joint

Ozzy lost his act as soon as he was kissed, moaning. "Mmm... nnn?" he mumbled, blinking before snapping out of it, drivin off quickly, speeding off. "Where to?"

Thrax: The heat is starting right abt now, so probably the first thing Sanderson would do is sweat. *thought bk to the citywide map at the billboard they saw* We need to get to the Sweat Gland Arena, dwn his armpit. We're gonna let him sweat us out

Ozzy shuddered a little. "Great..." he mumbled before skidding around a corner and heading straight for the armpit. Soon, the poor cell was panting softly, he may of been an infected cell, but it was still rather hot for him that he was even sweating himself. "Damn... I have to get out of here..."

Thrax: *was barely evn breaking a sweat, since he was heat personified* Come on, baby. U'll get used to it *notice a huge river of sweat (which in human terms would mean a drop) ready to crash through the arena* There she blows! *locked the doors n shut the windows tight, taking Ness n stuffed him into his jacket to hold him in plc* Follow the current, baby, n let 'er rip!

Ozzy bit his lip, fanning himself some. "I could never get used to this..." he groaned before blinking and looking up. Great, he was going to regret this... Bitingh is lip, he put his foot down, driving off towards the current. "Hold on tight!"

*the trio soon rode along with the current n were soon thrown bk into it, flowing out with a quick WHOOSH! It was almost forever before they were to stop n found themselves almost dangling at the edge of a sleeve*

Ozzy groaned softly, feeling a little dizzy after that ride. "Nnn... what... what now?" he mumbled, carefully grabbing his bag as Ness wriggled around in the virus' coat, whimpering.

Thrax: Now *passes the pup to Oz n switched plcs* I'll take the wheel *took the wheel n started driving along the threads of the clothes until they settled onto the far end of the prisoner's bed*

Ozzy gasped and wriggled around so he could climb in the backseat, pouting a little as he set the bag on the floor. "So... what are we going to do now?"

Thrax: Now we r just gonna wait. Right now, let's just enjoy the view, shall we? *looked out the window at the prison cell where Sanderson had collapsed onto the floor frm off the bed, his body succumbing to the heat as his life slipped away*

Ozzy made a face before his laid on the back seat, his arms behind his head. "Actually, I think I'll just stay here..." he mumbled softly, closing his eyes and relaxing, not wanting to watch.

Thrax: *still watching* Suit urself, baby *kept watching until his eyes were tired n fell asleep, his head leaning against the window*

Ozzy blinked and heard the light thud, looking up and smiling a little before he shook his head, turning over and curling up against the back of the couch, soon falling asleep himself.

*the duo slept thru the night. The nxt day, wen the prisoners were due to come out for their daily routine, the absence of Sanderson prompt the warden to investigate n found out abt the guy's death, starting a bit of commotion*

Ozzy groaned from the commotion outside the car, the noises loud against his sensitive ears. Groaning, he sat up and yawned, stretching a little before rubbing his eye. "Huh...? Morning...?"

Thrax: *got up a little as well frm the commotion n saw the warden with some inmates chking out the dead Sanderson* Hm, looks like its time we head off to our nxt city

"Ah... where are we going now?" Ozzy asked, quickly grabbing his bag, letting Nessie hop in and snuggle into his clothes before he looked out the window.

Thrax: *scoured ard n saw a thug inmate with a reddish scar across his neck, like he had been lynched* Tht one

Ozzy groaned softly and nodded slowly, shuffling to the front seat. "So how do we get there?"

Thrax: How else? *tugged lightly at his own trenchcoat, showing wht he meant as he grinned* TIme for another flying lesson there, mutt

Ness peeked out of the bag and yapped happily as Ozzy groaned, shaking his head. "I makes me feel sickly..." he said, rubbing his head.

Thrax: *rolled his eyes* Aftr flying with me a couple of times, it still bothers u? Ur so lame *chuckles as he got out of the car, helping the cell out too*

Ozzy climbed out and huffed at him, his eyes narrowing. "It's not my fault, you can't fly straight!" he huffed at him, crossing his arms over his chest.

Thrax: There's such thing as flying straight? *raised his brow, then smirked at the cell's reaction* Alright, alright, if it makes u feel better *takes off the bandana frm Oz's neck n blindfolded him* There. Now u dont hv to look

"Well, yeah, of course there-oh! Oh that's not funny! Damn sex jokes..." Ozzy grumbled and rolled his eyes at him before his eyes widened when the bandana was taken from him. "H-hey!" he squeaked before frowning some, his cheeks flushing slightly. "... This isn't the time to be kinky, Thrax..."

Thrax: No, I aint being kinky, baby. Its just so u dont get queasy wen I do this *grabs both Oz n the pup n stretched his trenchcoat, gliding straight towards the thug, landing on his head on piles of dandruff wen the thug inmate helped the warden to move Sanderson's body*

Ozzy squeaked out and clinged onto the virus and his bag, shutting his eyes tightly even though he couldn't see, the movement making him a little queezy.

Thrax: *found their footing n gently set the duo dwn, taking the bandana off Oz's eyes* There, here we are. Piece a cake. Ugh! *dusted himself off some dandruff flakes* This guy's head is due for a rinse

Ozzy blinked and looked down before gagging a little. "Damn, this is gross... nearly as bad as being on butt hair patrol." he groaned, shaking the flakes off.

Thrax: *raised a brow at the cell as he scoured the area* Butt hair patrol?

Ozzy shook his head at him. "Baby, you don't wanna know..." he said before shuddering a little. "So how we going to get off the damn flakey head?"

Thrax: First, we need to find the person in charge of running this plc. C'mon, baby *takes the cell's hand n led him on the search as he knew just wht kind of person to look for*

Ozzy made a face as he pulled his back pack on, carefully treading after the virus pulling him alot. "Nnn... this is gross..."

Thrax: Goes with the territory of someone who's got a dandruff problem. N wen there's dandruff problem, it means THAT guy is running the show here

"Great... so we have to go see the guy that's causing all this?" Ozzy asked, pouting and grumbling to himself as he followed the virus. He was so going to wash when he could.

Thrax: Only he knws a way in thru here *looks up to see the person up ahead* Speak of the devil

*there was a little kid who looked like a hair cell bt with white blotches all ovr his body playing with the dandruff flakes, making snowmen out of them*

Ozzy blinked a few times, peeking around Thrax before his eyes widened. "It... it's a kid?" he asked, groaning. He couldn't deal with kids.

Thrax: Oh he's not wht u think he is. Wen was the last time u've been on the head? *grins at the cell's reaction* Ah, right. U were a normal cell bk then. Forget I asked *walked towards the cell* Yo, gov'nor! How's it hanging?

HC (Hair cell): *turned to look at him with a scowl n replied in a vry much adult voice* Who the heck r u n wht r u doing here?

Ozzy pouted up at Thrax and glared, huffing at him at the idiot question before blinking in surprise, following behind him. His eyes widened when the cell began to speak, mouth hanging open a little. "But... but... wha?"

Thrax: *grinned bt continued to talk with the hair cell* Thrax here, n this here is my mate Oz n my pet mutt Ness. Was wondering whether we could get access into this body

HC: N why should I allow a virus n a T4 cell into my city?

Nessie peeked his head out of the bag and looked over Ozzy's shoulder, yappign happily when he heard his name. Ozzy nuzzled him before shuffling around, blinking in surprise. "How does he know?" he asked stupidly, looking at himself, not realising it was obvious since he was on the surface.

HC: Oh dont gimme tht innocent look. I'm not born yesterday to not knw a T4 wen I see one

Thrax: Dont mind my mate. He's still a lil new in being a T4. We just need to get into the city n we'll outta ur hair, no pun intended

Ozzy blinked and frowned, grumbling a little as he crossed his arms. He hated being talked down to. He kicked the dandruff slightly, hoping they could just get out of here already.

HC: Wht's innit for me? *crossed his arms*

Thrax: Maybe this might interest u *reached into his trenchcoat n took out a box of vry fine high-classed chocolate tht he had bought beforehand*

HC: *widened his eyes a little* W...Where did u get tht?

Ozzy blinked and looked up, looking a little confused. "You... like chocolate?" he asked, was it that easy to bribe him into getting in?

Thrax: Got it frm Sanderson... *smirked* frm the brain centre

HC: *his eyes seemed to glow with happiness before he straightened himself* Ahem. U drive a hard bargain. Vry well, I'll grant u access *reaches for the chocolate bt frowned wen the virus pulled bk*

Thrax: First access, then reward

Ozzy covered his mouth to stop from sniggering. Even if he had a grown up voice, he still acted like a kid. It was kinda cute...

HC: *glared at Oz before jerking his head* This way *led the trio to a whitening hair tht was closest to the ear where there was a pulley built on the root of the hair* In ya go, one by one, ppl. It can only hold one at a time

Thrax: U n Ness go first, baby. Ness is lighter. He wont affect the pulley

Ozzy blinked and looked at the pully, biting his lip before looking back to Thrax, looking unsure. "Okay..." he mumbled before looking to the hair cell. "Eh... thanks." he said with a sheepish grin, dusting himself off before climbing onto it, gulping a little. "Be careful..."

HC: *huffed as he pressed the button to lower both Oz n Ness dwn towards the ear as he hollered* Once ur near the ear, ur gonna hv to make a jump for it! I've built a safe net there for u to jump in

Ozzy blinked and slowly leaned over the edge, looking around before spotting the net. "Eh... well... here goes Ness..." he mumbled, pushing the pup into the bag and zipping it up before giving a run and jump, gaspign and bouncing as he landed in the net.

Thrax: *shouted frm his spot* U on the net there, baby?!

Ozzy groaned softly, sitting himself up and holding on tightly. "A-ah... yeah! Yeah, I'm on!" he called back up, looking to the bag. "You okay Ness?" he asked softly, hearing soft yaps from inside. "Good, don't worry, I'll let you out soon."

Thrax: *took his turn on the pulley n was lowered dwn until he was near the net, then spread his trenchcoat n glided onto it with ease* U all good there, baby?

"... I nearly bounced off..." Ozzy grumbled, looking up at the Virus, wobbling a little, not seeming to have any balance.

Thrax: *chuckled* At least ur in one piece

HC: *came dwn in the pulley with his remote control n leaned forward with his hand extended* We had a deal

Thrax: Yes, we do *leans forward bt instead of handing him the chocolates, he held out his hand n captured the sleeve of the hair cell before jerking him hard, causing him to fall off frm the pulley n plummet to the ground Frank-knws-how-many-feet, patted his hands n turned away* Tht should do it

Ozzy's eye widened as he watched Thrax mercilessly pull the haircell from the pulley. "Wha... why did you do that?!" he called out, slowly getting to his feet, wobbling a little. "He just wanted the chocolates!"

Thrax: U cant trust dandruff hair cells. They'll rat out on u the moment they get their dues, especially wen they live so close to the brain. We'd be ratted out before we evn started. N dont worry. He's just one dandruff hair cell. His bros r probably scattered ard the area waiting for him to drop dead so tht they'll take ovr the turf. U can say they r more or less the mafia in the dandruff department. 'Sides, I'm not gonna give him the chocolates tht I got for u now, am I? *smirked as he handed the chocolates to Oz*

Ozzy blinked in surprise and sighed softly. He should of stayed in Frank and kept his innocence about people. Blinking in surprise, he slowly took the chocolates. "Wh-wha... me? Why?" he asked, pouting a little. Though, they did look really good.

Thrax: It's urs. It has always been urs. Made frm the refined cocoa of the Endorphin Farm. Only available in brain centre n the price is a killer to any other ppl who do not live the high life. Why do u think tht dandruff hair cell wanted it? Although, if u dont want it, I could always think of someone else to give *makes a move to try n take the chocolates away frm him*

Ozzy's eyes widened as he listened to the virus, starting to drool a little. He'd only even heard rumors about such chocolate. "NO!" he suddenly snapped, slapping the hand away hard and holding the chocolate to his chest, glaring up at the virus. He was going to find a hide out, have a relaxing bath and eat his chocolates!

Thrax: *was not offended by the slap as he chuckled at the cell's reaction* C wht I mean? Alright, baby. We're gonna hv to find a hideout now. Standard procedure

Ozzy puffed his cheeks up before licking his lips. He couldn't wait to eat them, he hadn't had chocolate in a long time. "Huh? Oh, Nessie can find us a place again..." he said as he felt the Pup wriggling around in his bag, trying to get out.

Thrax: Good ol' mutt. Guess u r some use aftr all *unzipped the bag to let the pup out*

Nessie yapped happily when he was allowed out, diving on his Daddy and slobbering over his face, his little tail wagging madly. Ozzy laughed at the pup, reaching otu and petting him. "You're still crazy as ever, pup..."

Thrax: Blergh! Make me a walking lollipop, why dontcha? *puts the pup dwn* Now do ur thing, mutt. Help Mommy n Daddy find a new hideout

"You know you love being licked." Ozzy teased the virus, grinning a little before he ran off after Nessie as he bounded off, yapping.

Thrax: Oh yes, I do love to be licked *followed suite n wrapped his arm ard the cell's waist as he nipped the cell's neck* By you

Ozzy shivered lightly before grinning some. "... Yeah? Well... I have my chocolates now so I don't need to lick you..." he purred before laughing and walked away from him, watching Nessie sniffing around.

Thrax: *rolled his eyes as he shook his head, following behind the pup n watching him do his thing* Found anything, mutt?

Ozzy sniggered a little, looking over his chocolates. So many choices. Nessie sniffed around and yapped, running off suddenly and looking around, yapping louder as he ran around in circles by a parked car.

Thrax: *sees the car n chked it ovr* Mm, yes. Sweet ride. Good boy, pup *used his claw to unlock the car n did his usual Thrax-ifying thing before gesturing the duo* Hop in

Nessie yapped happily, feeling and seeming very proud of himself before he jumped into the car and curled up on the dashboard. Ozzy came over and brushed against Thrax teasingly. "... He really loves you, you know... you could be nicer~" he said before he got in the car, pulling the pup on his lap.

Thrax: Mmhmm, n I could use a little niceness frm u too, baby *nuzzled against the cell's cheek before starting the car n drove off before the owner got there*

"Na-uh~" Ozzy said, pushing his his head away. "You're too busy killing off these guys~ Plus, I have something that can make me feel just as good~" he teased, wiggling the chocolates around.

Thrax: *growled* Tht's it *snatches the box of chocolates* If ur gonna rub it in tht way, I'm confiscating it until we find a new plc *stuffs the box of chocolates inside his trenchcoat*

Ozzy's eyes widened as the chocolates were taken from him. "H-hey!" he called out, glaring up at the virus before he suddenly tackled onto his lap, the car skidding to the stop by the side of the road as Ozzy wriggled around on him, trying to get the chocolates out of the coat.

Thrax: *almost hit another car before he managed to stop it at the side of the road as he angrily pushed the cell away* Wht the hell?! Do u want us to get killed there, Jones?! N wht do u think ur doing?

Ozzy grunted, his back hitting the steering wheel as he panted softly, a strange look in his eyes as he stared up at the virus. "... I want... I want the chocolate..." he whispered, reaching out, his hand pressing to the other's chest.

Thrax: *surprised to see the look on Oz's face* Wht the...Hey, baby. Baby? *patted Oz's cheek to knock him bk to his senses* U OK? Snap outta it, baby

Ozzy blinked a few times, shaking his head and frowning some, his cheeks heating up when he found himself straddling the virus' lap. "... Okay... what's going on?" he asked, seeming genuinely confused.

Thrax: Ur asking me? U just suddenly almost got us into a roadkill wen I confiscated ur chocolates n then gone into an all-out daze like tht. Is the choc tht good? *raised a brow*

Ozzy blinked a few times and flushed some, chewing on his lip. "Ah... well... I've only ever had it once, when I was younger... such a small piece, but it tasted better than anything you've ever done to me..." he whispered and flushed deeply.

Thrax: Reli? *raised a brow* Is this chocolate reli tht good? Its only frm the Endorphin Farm. No big deal abt tht *seemed unimpressed*

"It might not be as good for Virus', but for cells, or maybe even just me... it is so damned good!" he let out a moan at his last word, flushing and gripping onto him. "Can I just have,,, one... little bit?"

Thrax: *sighed* C'mon, baby. Sit dwn. We'll go get our hideout, n I promise u, u'll get the whole chocolates to urself...OK? *smiled at him gently as he caressed the cell's cheek*

Ozzy whined softly at him, pressing clothes. "I-I just want one now... come on... please... and I'll wait for the rest later..." he whimpered at him, giving his infamous puppy dog look.

Thrax: *sighed n reached into his trenchcoat to fish out one chocolate frm the box* Open wide *held out the chocolate to the cell's mouth*

Ozzy's eyes lit up when the chocolates came out. Sitting back on the virus lap, his lips parted for the virus to put the chocolate in, his tongue twitching in excitement.

Thrax: *smiled n slipped the chocolate into the cell's mouth before putting away the box into his trenchcoat* Happy now? Can we go now before we end up as roadkill again?

Ozzy moaned as soon as the chocolate touched his tongue, said tongue lashing out to lick at the claws before he suckled at the treat, moaning and wriggling on his lap, a Happy flush crossing his cheeks. "Oh~ Thrax~ It's so good~ It's the best ever~" he moaned, not listening to the virus at all.

Thrax: Hmm, guess its true wen they say endorphins reli makes u happy *chuckles as he set the cell bk to his seat* Alright, baby. Settle dwn. We're gonna find a new hideout now *started the car n drove dwn the road again*

Ozzy didn't care about anything the virus had to say, he had his chocolate now, he had to make it last until he got to the new hide out. He suckled and licked, moaning as he wiggled on his seat. It was better than ever!

Thrax: *rolled his eyes n kept driving* Mommy's occupied now, mutt. We're on our own now *searched for their hideout*

Nessie yapped, jumping around the car as he looked out the windows, sniffing around for a 'hideout'
