"Keagan! Let's go have dinner!" a voice said as the knocking on the door continued.
"Oh god, why can't they just ring the doorbell?" Keagan mumbled as he fixed his hair.
He took his jacket and walked towards the door.
"Alright, impatient people. I'm coming!"
Keagan opened the door and out of the blue, a body fell into the room.
No, he didn't catch the body like how all cliche characters do. Because why would he? Instead, he let the body fall straight to the floor.
The body fell in with a loud thud.
"Ouch! Keagan, why didn't you catch me?" Fred disgruntled as he rubbed his sore shoulder.
"You're old enough to catch yourself, Freddie. I'm holding my jacket."
Fred rolled his eyes and stood up.
"Where do you want to eat?" Fred asked as he dusted his T-shirt.
"I'm craving for some delicious steak. Oh, I stole a wallet today so today's dinner is my treat."
Fred stopped his movements. "You stole what?"
"You should get your ears checked. I'm not repeating what I said or else the suspense will disappear."
"Huh. Let's just go to the lobby."
Keagan nodded and walked out the hotel room with Fred. He took the keycard before closing the door.
On their way to the lift, they witnessed PDA by random strangers.
"Oh look, another couple smooching!" Keagan exclaimed excitedly.
"You know, it wouldn't kill you to shut up for a second."
"What? I wasn't offending them. I am actually really supportive." Keagan winked at the lovely couple. The man showed the finger while the woman giggled softly.
"I suggest you keep your mouth shut until we find Bob and Sarah. The people might attack you any second and trust me, I don't want to be there when it happens." Fred suggested as he pressed the down button
"Of course you would! There'll be so much fun involved!:
"Just shut it."
"Fine, my lips are sealed." Keagan did the 'zipping my mouth' gesture.
At the same time, their lift arrived. There were already two women in the lift when they walked in.
"Hey, have you heard the latest news?" the lady in a red dress said.
"What?" the other lady with a bun said.
"K has suddenly gone eerie. Like, for a few days, he hasn't robbed anywhere nor caused chaos."
"Thank god he stopped. I was getting really worried."
"How is this good news? He could be brewing up some plan to take over the world!"
"Nah, I think you're exaggerating. There's no way an impulsive and attention-seeker criminal like him will do something like that."
"How sure are you? He is a psychopath after all!"
DING!
The lift doors opened.
"Oh, we've reached! Let's go swimming," Red said as she pulled bun with her out.
When the doors closed again, Keagan started laughing really loudly. "Oh god, they have one heck of a creative mind. Take over the world? Maybe I should actually start planning, hahaha!"
Fred flicked Keagan's forehead. "Oh you'd better drop the idea. I'll leave you if you do."
"Why, Freddie!? That's such a wonderful plan to do!"
"You know how much I hate leaders. They're nothing but people who succumb to the world's corruption for wealth and fame."
"Freddie! Watch what you say. Not all leaders are like that. And, how could you think that I'll be that kind of leader?" Keagan pouted.
DING!
The lift door opened again, this time at the lobby.
Both of them walked out "Just don't do that," Fred said as he hastened his steps.
"Haish, my sidekick is such a baby."
...
"Hello, I'm your waitress for today. Have you decided what to order?"a woman asked. She was wearing a typical waitress uniform with her hair tied into a high ponytail.
"I'll have some wagyu beef. And orange juice." Keagan stated as he stared at the woman. She nodded and proceeded to take the rests' orders.
Keagan squinted her eyes at the woman. Something about this woman was peculiarly familiar. "I swear, I've seen this woman before." Keagan's subconscious said.
"I know, buddy. Me too." Keagan replied.
"Wait, you can hear me? How is this possible?"
"You're my subconscious dumbo. Like literally in me. Now, please remain as my subconscious and stop interrupting my train of thoughts."
"How dare you? I'll interrupt you all I want. Watch me."
"No please dont-"
"LET IT GO! LET IT GO! CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMORE! LET IT GO! LET IT GO! TURN AWAY AND SLAM THE DOOR!"
"OH GOD JUST STOP IT!" Keagan screamed. Everyone in the restaurant was shocked and looked at him.
Realizing he'd just yelled it out loud, Keagan feigned confusion. "Who was screaming?"
"Oh boy, someone did an oopsie," his subconscious taunted.
Keagan rolled his eyes and slumped on the table.
"Um, Keagan. Are you okay?" Sarah asked.
Bob was stifling a laughter. "That was an epic outburst."
"Shut up. Anyway, doesn't that waitress look awfully familiar to you? I swear I've seen her before."
Bob caressed his non-existent beard for a while before answering, "No. But, she's very pretty. Her face is flawless and-"
"It's Mia," Fred interrupted as he straightened his hair.
"Mia? Oh, Mia! It's sister-in-law! What's she doing in Hawaii?"
"I don't know. But, I'll find out myself," Fred said as he stood up and walked towards the woman.
Keagan smiled playfully. He held out his fingers and made a frame out of it.
"Here we have a wild Fred, attempting to talk to his feline. Will he muster the courage to do so? Or is he only putting up a pretense as a lion but is in fact, a scaredy cat deep inside his hollow heart? Stay tuned to find out what happens next."
"But, for now, commercial break!" Bob butted in.
"I have no idea whatever you guys are talking about. What feline? What sister-in -law?," Sarah said confusingly.
"Oh, don't worry. Fred will fill you in. I'll make sure he does it."
