I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 87

*the gang spent the nxt whole mth doing their heist speed-o style, jumping frm body to body, ramping it up as they crash n burned with style. Before they knew it, the entire prison was starting to go into panic n was in quarantine lockdwn, n starting to suspect maybe a sort of terrorist attack on prisoners n suspecting everybody*

Morning soon came around again and the cell stepped out of the bedroom area, rubbing his eye and yawning. Scars from the attack by the virus were still visible, but seemed to be easing up on his membrane, seeming to be healing perfectly fine now he had been getting his strength back. Groaning, he moved over to the kitchen area, getting himself some coffee. "I really need to get out of here.." he mumbled, having not left the trailer in so long.

Thrax: *got up as well n made his way to Oz, holding him close frm behind n kissed the nape of his neck* Hey, baby. Ur lookin' good *nuzzled him*

Ozzy grumbled and sipped at his coffee, yawning. They had been up all night on the last body and he'd been up all night watching after Amber. "Nnn... mmph..." he grumbled in reply, taking another sip of his coffee, partily ignoring the virus.

Thrax: *chked the scars on the cell n kissed them* U look reli sexy today. N u were sexy as well wen u were up last night watching ovr the kid

Ozzy shivered at the kisses to his sensitive scars, frowning sleepily as he sipped at his coffee again. "Nnn... what's up with you today?" he mumbled softly, squriming against his hold some.

Thrax: Nothing, baby. Just a little happy to see ya, n happy tht we've finally hit the target of creating an epidemic. Hv u seen the latest news on wht's going on outside?

Ozzy nodded slowly, sipping more at his coffee. "Huh? No... I haven't been outside in like a month..." he grumbled softly, rubbing his eyes a little, leaning forward against the counter.

Thrax: Well, the entire prison is more or less under quarantine lockdwn n everyone is in a panic. Tht's the beauty of spreading epidemic. Aint it beautiful? *grins*

Ozzy blinked and sighed, nodding slowly. "Yay..." he mumbled sleepily, pouring himself some more coffee and yawning again. "So what do we do, now?" he mumbled, sipping at his fresh cup of coffee with a moan. He was so glad he got some of this before they left the last few bodies. He'd been without it for so long.

Thrax: We're gonna recuperate for a moment. *looked out the air as they were still flying, with Klepta on the wheel for the night* We might choose another dog city before we figure out how to get out of the prison

Ozzy nodded slowly and yawned. At least he'd get a good nights sleep before they were off again. "So you're not continuing in the prision?" he mumbled, frowning a little as he took another sip, looking up to the virus.

Thrax: *chuckles* Where hv u been? We've got 'em all. All the hardcore prisoners in this whole mth. We left out the small fries of course, bt we've got em all. There's nothing for us to pick clean anymore

Ozzy blinked in surprise. "Really? Oh... I didn't know... I thought there were more of them..." he mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck and shrugging. "So... we're going to take a break now?"

Thrax: Seeing tht we've made success, I guess we deserve a break. Got the dog yet, bro?

Klepta: Almost. Everything's in quarantine, so it'll take time to find a dog

Ozzy bit his lip, looking to the virus, a nervous look on his face. "Um... Thrax... don't they usually decontaminate things that are in quarantine?"

Thrax: Yeah, they do. Bt they only decontaminate the outside, they dont do the inside. We just gonna hv to suffer a bit of burn on the trailer van to get in, is all

Klepta: Yeah, n with the shield I got on this baby, it wouldnt evn be more than just a scratch. Dont worry there, doll

Ozzy sighed and nodded slowly, feeling a little better at that. He didn't want to end up being burned up, he knew he would survive decontaminations now.

Rouge: *just finished feeding Hope n lulling her to sleep* Thanks for watching her last night, Oz to-chan. Diaper rash is giving her insomnia

Ozzy blinked and looked up, smiling a little. "It's okay, really... maybe we should try getting something for the diaper rash?"

Rouge: We'll get it once we get to the nxt city. Kowaii so, ne, totto (poor lil bro) *looks at Rodeo who's konked out beside the baby* He's all tuckered out as well

Ozzy chuckled lightly and nodded some, sipping his coffee. "That kid is really hard work." he mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck and drinking more.

Rouge: Comes with the territory. We hv expected this much, bt tht's parenthood for ya *grins*

Klepta: I think I spot a pooch!

Ozzy nodded slowly and sighed, shaking his head at him before blinking and looking over to Klepta. "So you're going to land?"

Klepta: *looks out* They're gonna decontaminate. We're gonna hv to make a rush to it. Hold on tight! *zoomed towards the dog, which belonged to one of the narcotics team for detection*

Ozzy blinked before gasping out as the trailer van jolted, falling into the virus still behind him and grunting. "Not much of a warning!"

Rouge: *had held Rodeo n the baby in plc so they wouldnt jerk as the van sped*

Thrax: *held onto Oz firmly, then led him to the couch so they had a better gravity centre*

Ozzy grumbled as he spilled his coffee, stumbling to sit on the couch and glaring at the back of Klepta's head. He'd get him back for spilling his precious coffee.

Klepta: *managed to make it into the dog's mouth before the decontaminate started spraying the dog n the narc team, n started flying in dwn the esophagus*

Ozzy grumbled, sipping the last bit of his coffee and grumbling. "That was the last of it! Klepta, you owe me coffee!"

Klepta: Sorry, bt I had to make sure we dont get burned. I'll get u a freshly ground one for ya wen we can

Ozzy grumbled and pouted, slumping against the virus' side and sighing. "Coffee..."

Thrax: *rolled his eyes* Oh dont be such a baby there, Oz. Here *takes the one tht was on the cup holder at the side of the driver's seat n handed it to the cell* Have Klep's

Klepta: Hey!! Tht's my coffee, u moron!!

Ozzy blinked before grinning happily and taking the coffee, sipping happily and moaning. "Mmm... so good~" he mumbled, liking his lips eagerly.

Klepta: *rolled his eyes n managed to find a good spot to land their car, which is somewhere within a forest reserve tht was quite near to the city*

Ozzy looked up, looking out of the window to see where they were. "Ah... Nessie's going to be happy..."

Thrax: *looked out as well* Hmm, ur right. A lot of leg room n a lot of plcs to explore with his lil kitty friend there, aint ya, mutt?

Ozzy got to his feet, stretching and yawning before moving to the door and opening it up, looking around outside. "Mmm..."

Rouge: Well, since we're relaxing, I guess I'm gonna rest up for a while as well *cuddled close to Rodeo n slept with him*

Ozzy blinked and looked to the twins, smiling some before whistling. "Come on Nessie!" he called softly before the excited bunneh bounded out from his hiding place and dived out the door.

Thrax: *shook his head n went out to find the nearest store to get supplies*

Nessie: *bounding off ard, enjoying the grass along with Chico*

Ozzy laughed and smiled as he stepped out, his bare feet padding against the cool grass. "Mmm... it is actually nice here..."

Nessie: *rolled ard the grass along with Chico*

Ozzy grinned at the pets before sitting down in the grass with them, sipping his coffee.

Nessie: *went to smells some flowers, sneezing as it tickled his nose n at the same time, blew off the dandelion seeds into the air*

Something behind a tree near Nessie moved, seeming to try and hide from the pup. Ozzy looked up and blinked, noticing the pup getting curious. "What is it, Ness?"

Nessie: *caught the scent of someone familiar, like of blood n made his way to the tree, yapping at it*

"Nnn... go away, mutt... verlassen Sie mich allein! [Leave me alone!]" the figure mumbled with a odd accent, trying to shoo the dog away as Ozzy got up. "Someone there?" he called out, frowning a little as he made his way over.

Nessie: *yapped as he smelt him of the same blood n nipped at his pants, tugging happily at him*

Chico: *mewed n leapt onto the other leg, clinging onto the pants with her teeny claws*

The young virus cried out softly, trying to kick them off, seeming to be a little afraid of them. "Halten Sie nein es auf! [No, stop it!]"

Ozzy blinked, peeking around the large tree before his eyes widened. "Who...?"

Nessie: *managed to pull him out frm his hiding plc, revealing a virus tht had the same dark green colour as Klepta's skin but with chocolate brown spiky hair n eye colour almost like Thrax's but bigger, tho a shine on it shows tht he's been wearing contacts*

"Nein, nein!" the young virus called out, stumbling a little before his eyes widened when he spotted Ozzy. He'd been caught, he had to get out of here.

"Who the hell are you?" Ozzy mumbled, frowning some.

Nessie: *yapped n wagged his tail as he continued tugging his pants*

Chico: *mewed along with Nessie*

The virus frowned as he looked over the cell, huffing slightly. "That business be none of yours..." he mumbled, making a face as he managed to kick Nessie and Chico off hard, stepping back away from them and Ozzy.

Ozzy grumbled and growled, reaching out and grabbing the virus by the collar. "Why the hell are you spying on us?!"

Nessie: *whimpered at being kicked, getting to Chico who also whimpered, barking at him like a scolding

"Stille, Köter [Silence, mutt]." The virus huffed before grunting as Ozzy yanked him. "Damn it, not another stupid language... come with me! Klepta will sort you out..." he grumbled, dragging the confused virus to the trailer before he shook his head.

"Nein! Let me go!" he snapped, tugging at his hand and glaring. He had to get out of here, he couldn't be caught.

Klepta: *hears the commotion n went out to chk it out* Wht's going on there, Oz?

Nessie: *followed behind Oz n the stranger with Chico*

The virus' eyes widened upon seeing Klepta, freezing in place before he managed to pull away from Ozzy and made a run for it, hoping that the virus didn't get a good look at him.

"H-hey, get back here!" Ozzy called out. "He's been spying on us!"

Klepta: *with his super leaping skills, he leapt up n pounced onto the virus, pinning him dwn before turning him ard to face him* Wht the...Eddie?

Edison blinked as he saw a shadow over him, his eyes widening as he soon crashed to the ground with a grunt. He peeked open an eye as he was turned over, cursing in his native tongue when he was recognised. "... Nein! Get off me." he huffed, trying to get away.

Klepta: Eddie? Is tht reli u, Eddie?! Holy spit, it is u!! *hugged him excitedly* I cant believe its u!! How'd u find us?!

Edison grunted when he was hugged, his face showing that he didn't like to be hugged much. "... I didn't know it vas you..." he mumbled, squirming against him as Ozzy soon stopped by them, frowning.

Klepta: *sees Oz* Hey, Oz. Look! Meet Edison! Eddie, this is Osmosis Jones. U can call him Ozzy or Oz. He's our lil' bro Thrax's mate

Edison soon grew a dark look at the mention of Thrax, slightly glaring at the cell before grunting. "Vhy vould I care..." he grumbled, trying to get away from his annoying, hyperactive brother.

Ozzy blinked and frowned. "So... he's Edison?"

Klepta: Yeah, in the flesh. I'd recognize tht skin anywhere. Ur hair has changed tho. Got it frm ur foster parents?

Edison crossed his arms, looking away from the two of them with a roll of his eyes. "Seems the mate is as stupid as the virus..." he mumbled in that harsh accent, causing a glare from Ozzy as he nodded slowly. "Is dat all? I vould like to leave now..." he huffed, not wanting to be around when Thrax came back.

Klepta: No way! Ur already here! C'mon! Stay! Rouge n Rodeo hasnt seen u in like forever, n u gotta hv to meet Thrax. He deserves to meet u.

"I don't 'gotta' do anything." Edison snipped lightly, pushing himself away from Klepta and dusting himself down. "And I do not vant to meet that little brat at all..."

"Thrax isn't a brat!" Ozzy suddenly snapped, glaring at him as hands tightened into fists.

Klepta: C'mon. Tht's wht we've promised to do all our lives since we left Big Mama. U n Lavinia n Lavatnia made tht promise too. At least hv a look at him

"Nein!" Edison suddenly snapped, glaring up at the virus beside him. "I do not vant to look at that pathetic excuse for a virus! It's all his fault to start with!"

Klepta: Oh, c'mon. U dont reli believe tht. Just give it a shot n...

Thrax: Is there a problem? *just got bk n saw the bickering n came to them. Seeing Edison n raised a brow* Who's he?

Edison blinked and looked up at the new voice, looking the virus over before his face turned into a sneer. "The problem just arrived..." he hissed before turning away from them. "... I vill be going now..."

Klepta: Ah, ah, ah *grabbed Edison n turned him to face Thrax* This is Edison, ur other elder brother, the one raised by German Measles. Say hi

Thrax: U...Ur Edison...? R...Reli? *putting dwn the groceries n came close to him*

Edison grunted and grumbled when he was grabbed, glaring at Klepta, his arms tight over his chest as he sneered at Thrax. "... Don't you come near me... I do not vant to breath the same air as you..."

Thrax: *frowned a little n bked away* Well, excuse me for being born *turned n walked away bk into the trailer*

Klepta: Th...Thrax! *turns to Edison* Wht is ur problem? U were so eager to meet him n made the promise bk then. Wht's with the attitude?

"Ja... back when I didn't know any better. It's all because of him our lives vere put on the line, that our brother and sisters were murdered!" Edison said, looking away and scowled, glancing as he watch Ozzy followed after Thrax quickly.

Klepta: U knw tht better than anyone tht its not his fault. He had it just as bad as we did. U wanna be pissed, u be pissed at Big Mama, not him. Besides, if u didnt care, why were u following n spying on us? How did u evn find us anyways?

"I didn't know it vas you... or him... I saw something new and vanted to check it out... Though the Köter [mutt] attacked me and wouldn't let me go..." Edison huffed, turning his back on the virus and sighing to himself, biting his lip.

Klepta: Dogs r like tht, Eddie. They can recognize ppl of the same blood once they r in a family circle long enough. He must've known tht u were related to us, so yeah, guess tht's why he's so persistent. So...how did u end up in dog city anyway, n in a narcotic dog, no doubt

"Vhy do you still call me Eddie? I am an adult now..." Edison mumbled, still not looking at him before sighing softly. "It vas da nearest hiding place... a couple of days ago I got vind of Big Mama's presence in the prison area... she knows Thrax is near... and she is on a rampage..."

Klepta: I like calling u Eddie. Just like old times. *cringed a little* Damn. She's too smart for her own good, isnt she? All the more reason to stick with us. U'd be deadmeat out there on ur own. Together we can outsmart her

Edison sighed and nodded slowly. He had to admit, the she-virus was smart. Though, it was only a matter of time before she would find her precious baby Thrax. He was the only one of his type, his unique MO stood out stronger than any virus.
