he looks over at it, and then quickly turns his attention back onto
the game. While he continuesto look at the ringing phone and then back
onto his game, his hesitant mind is telling him to ignore the game and
answer the damn phone, while the other side of his mind is arguing to
continue playing and ignore the phone.
Eventually, he sighs in loud frustration as the big, bold letters
appear on the screen. GAME OVER.
He snatches the phone and answers it. "What?" He snaps. "You better
not be those damn telemarketers trying to sell me crap again! I
already told you: I am NOT interested!"
"Frederik," a quiet, shaky voice says, "It's me, Matt."
"Matt?" Frederik repeats, while reaching for the television remote
nearby."What's up? Why are you whispering?"
"Listen, I don't have muchtime 'cos they'll come back. I need you to come and-"
"Yes! Digimon is on!" Frederik happily exclaims."Yoshi is so hot for
an anime and all."
"Frederik, pretty much all anime girls are freaking hot, but we can
discuss that later." Matt says sternly, "Right now, I'm ina crisis! I
need you to pay attention."
"Fine then," says Frederik,lowering the television volume. "The theme
tune is over anyway. Tell me what happened."
"Well, I went to town for some free supplies of pretzels in Sharpie's
Pretzel stand, but then I felt sick afterwards. So, I went to Kiddie's
Fun Park and played on the swings. Then-"
"Wait. What? You were inthe children's park?" Frederik repeats the words slowly.
"Yes!"
"What were you doing there?"
"Playing on the swings!" Matt hisses, "Then these big guys came and
tied me up in an awkward position. It really hurts! They've been
torturing me for hours, Frederik, hours! "
Frederik's eyes go wide as he listens to his brother. He confidently
says, "It's okay, I've got your back! I'm coming to save you, you hear
me?"
"Hurry! They're going to come back soon. They promised to play Justin
Bieber Baby ." Matt sobs,"I can't take it anymore! I've still got
Rebecca BlackFriday stuck in my head!"
Frederik gulps, "Hold on, Matt. Stay strong, I won't be long!" He
hangs up thephone and throws it on the sofa next to him."Don't worry,
I'll save you... Even if it's the last thing I do." He mutters."But
first - I'll need some equipment as it'll be a long, dangerous
mission."
********************************************************************************************
Frederik is hiking up a large hill, his face red andsweaty. The hot,
blazing sun is threatening to become an enemy to him.He opens his
rucksack and reaches for his waterbottle. He takes a large sip of
water, and then wipes away his sweat with the back of his hand.
"If only I caught the bus on time," mutters Frederik.
He finally reached the topof the hill and stared down at view. His
eyes immediately spot a cab parked nearby.
"Oi!" He screams, waving his hand, while running down the hill. "Wait
up!" His eyes turn wider in panic as the cab driver begins moving the
vehicle. He stumbles and rolls down the hill. Quickly, he picks
himself up and then runs after the cab that's driving away.
Knowing that the cab was getting away, Frederik scans the area closely
and then sees two bikes standing outside someone's house. His facelits
up and he races towards it. He climbs ontothe red bike, and then
pedals as fast as his aching legs could manage. The cab was still in
view, but it would soon get away if he didn't think of somethingfast.
Luckily for Frederik, he knew a shortcut. He turnsa corner and then
begins to gain speed. The ride is easy and there are no obstacles to
slow him down. It is simply a clean path. While pedaling freely, he
produced yet another bottle of water out of his rucksack.
In no time, he rode out ofthe corner and was now riding side-by-side
next to the cab. He finished gulping down his water and threw the
bottle behind his shoulder. He steers the bike away fromthe pavement
and onto the road. He is now in front of the cab, causing it to come
to a halt.
"You stupid f**king idiot!" The cab driver shouts angrily, "Were
youtrying to kill yourself or something?!"
Frederik jumps off the bike and opens the vehicle's door. He seats
himself comfortably."Nope, I just wanted a ride to Sharpie's Pretzel
stand."
"Sharpie's Pretzel stand?"The cab driver repeats.
"Yup, it's near Kiddie's Fun Park."
"Like the one over there?" The cab driver points towards a large,
colorful sign that read in a friendly tone: Kiddie's Fun Park. There's
a line ofinanimated children on the bottom of the sign, holding hands.
Frederik nods his head slowly, "Yup, that's the one." He chuckles
delightfully, and then turns to see an angry cab driver.
"Get out." The cab driver says.
Frederik hastily leaves thevehicle. He watches the cab drive away with
the driver still pissed off. Frederik shrugs. "Now, it's time for some
free pretzels!" He says.
He walks to the pretzel stand and pushes in frontof everyone else.
"Oi!"
"Watch it!"
"Do you mind?"
"Stop pushing! Get to the back of the line!"
"Oi, I was first!"
"Hey, can I have some free pretzels?" Frederik asks the annoyed
womandressed in white uniform.
"Sorry, but all the free supplies have been given out already." She informs him.
"Dammit!" Frederik groans.
A big, chubby female patted his shoulder with her pointy fingers.
"Erm, excuse me? This is a line . Go to the back of the line."
"No, I will not!" Frederik screams in her face,"Because I'm going to
save my brother Matt from being raped! So, I think you should just
shutup!"
The woman moves her head back, slightly stricken. She was about to
speak her mind, but Frederik repeats loudly,"Just SHUT UP! "
"Sir, please leave if you'renot buying any pretzels. You're scaring my
customers away." The pretzel lady says uncomfortably.
Frederik grumpily stompsaway, his steps purposely loud. He crosses the
road, while hearing the usual car beeps thrown his way. He then makes
his way to the large green fence. He gazes at the massive sign -
Kiddie's Fun Park.
"I've finally made it," Frederik says, panting slightly. With a deep
breath, he bravely steps in... The children's park...
