Twain's Backstory Chapter 6

Instructions

Lucas was fiddling with some science gadgets. He loved them. He was big on science. Knew a lot. Right now, he was combining some chemicals. He just had to pour these together really carefully... Oliver slammed the door open, startling Lucas and making the vial fall to the floor, shattering. "Lucas. I need you." Oliver said, walking over to him. He sighed. "What is it for now?" he asked. Oliver rolled his eyes. "It'll be fun. No science involved. For once." Lucas stood up. "I'll fill you in on the way." Oliver told him as they walked out the door. They reached a hallway intersection. "...and you need me why?" he asked. Oliver grinned. "As a lookout. Tell me if you spot them. Whistle when their coming my way." Oliver responded. Oliver then turned and disappeared into the shadows. He turned and started walking. So, apparently, Oliver was gonna squeeze the info he wants out of the crewpostor's-Twain, I think it was?- crewmate friend. He reached the end of the hallway and stopped. Perfect timing! Will, the 'Target' as Oliver referred to him, was coming his way with a coral colored crewmate. Will waved. "Whats up?" Will asked. "Nothing. Hey, where you going?" he asked back. "Electrical. Wires blew a capacitor." Will said back. The coral crewmate was silent, watching them. "Cool. Wanna hang out?" he asked. "Sure. 2:30 sound fine?" Will said. He nodded, and Will waved and continued walking. As he passed, Lucas and the coral crewmate connected eyes. Something... was... I don't know, off. Lucas whistled, making sure Oliver heard, then raced down a side hallway. Lucas arrived where they Oliver was hiding just as they were passing. Oliver stepped out, and Lucas hid. He didn't want to be spotted. "Hey! Whats up!" Oliver asked Will. "Oh, hi. How are you doing?" Will asked back. The coral crewmate narrowed his eyes, but was still quiet. Oliver shrugged. "Nothing much. Say, I need help on with swiping my card. I've been having trouble, and you look like the kind of person who is good at-" The coral crewmate interupted him. "No." They said firmly. "What? It'll be really quick. You won't even notice he was gon-" He was cut off again. "NO." The coral crewmate said, their voice rising. "I'm sorry, but we are busy right now." Will seemed confused. "Why can't I go help him?" Will asked Coral. "Because... we need to finish ours first." Coral responded. "Well, then bye I guess." said Will as he walked away. Once they were out of sight, Lucas stood up and walked over to Oliver. "Somethings up with that Coral person." Oliver told him. "Come on. Lets go. I have another idea." Oliver turned around and left. This was not gonna end well. Not by a long shot.
