Ghost R Like Roaches Part 5

Momo Lancaster kept running at full speed even through they were far away from the food court, even though Karl Marx was now out of sight she kept going at her top speed. She passed bathrooms hallways and abandoned store after abandoned store, she kept on going when she was gasping for air and her legs cried for relief.

"Mo...mo"

Soren struggled saying because his throat was still aching plus it was hard being carried bouncing up and down.

"Momo I think.. were far enough.. you can stop.. now"

"Not yet!"

She said back not even giving what he said a second thought, she seemed to pick up speed she ran turned a corner and kept running. She didn't slow down till a large hot pink sign caught her eye, it read Cinderella Prom Dresses Momo stopped and darted into the store.  She bobbed and weaved through many bundles of colorful prom dresses it wasn't until she saw the cash register counter and hid behind it did she finally put Soren down and rest. The two would have sat in silence if they hadn't been breathing heavily this was happening clearly because of there exhaustion but even though they weren't really silent they spoke no words to each other not until there breathing became more calmed and measured.

"Thank you"

Soren said sheepishly.

"Thank you Momo, without you-"

He paused and swallowed what felt like a large lump in his throat.

"I would have been a goner..... I owe you one"

"Damn right you do"

She said trying her best to smile.

"But you can pay me back after we make it out of this alive... well if we make out alive?"

Soren cracked a smile and rested his head back onto the counter he closed his eyes and was now lost in thought. Momo mirrored his actions but couldn't get lost in thought, the only thing running around in her mind were flashbacks of getting beat up, washed no more like embarrassed by Karl Marx these very recent memories began to make her blood boil and before she could rage out she opened her eyes and just threw out a question.

"So any bright ideas sex doll boy?"

He opened his own eyes and held his head down in shame.

"Not really I'm not the most experienced at this whole shaman thing, this is only my second time doing this and this one is a tough one"

"It's only tough because we can't kill him"

Momo responded, Soren lifted his head and looked sadly at her, she picked upon the meaning of his look.

"What! we both know it's true, if we could I would have sliced his throat back there when I had the chance"

"I feel you really I do but he is possessed he isn't doing it cause he wants to"

"Yea yeah I know, so what are we going to do about him how do we get him to drink this"

She shook the thermos waving it around in the air.

"His aware of it now so he'll be on guard"

"Yeah your right"

Soren perked up.

"That's what I mean by tough, we somehow have to get him to drink what's in the thermos"

"Duh well that's obvious but it's not like we can just ask him or trick him"

"I know so will have to outsmart him"

Soren said strongly.

"So how do we do that?"

She questioned.

"Well all that's coming to me now"

He sat there thinking for a moment then he snapped his finger and gave his idea.

"Ok I got it we need to cause the body pain, enough pain to get him to scream out in pain after his mouth is involuntarily opened we can force the liquid down his throat, then we can cover his mouth and nose till he can't breath, so then he'll have no choice but to swallow it"

He paused and looked at Momo waiting for her insight and thoughts but she simply looked at him blankly then sarcastically said.

"Wow! Captain obvious that sounds super duper easy, so tell me chief how do we execute this easy breezy plan?"

"Well"

He exhaled filling slightly defeated, then a light bulb went off in his head and he shot to his feet, he began rummaging around the stores counter searching furiously for something.

"What are you doing!?"

Momo asked slightly annoyed.

"Hold on"

He said as he finally found what he was looking for, as he sat back down with Momo in his hand was a empty plastic bottle, he pointed to the thermos in Momo's hand waving for it without asking normally for it. She passed the thermos to him and after he removed the caps for both he began to pour the liquid into the empty bottle. Soren was unfazed by the by the aroma coming from the liquid, well in truth he didn't smell a thing but Momo did. She grimaced scrunching her face in Disgust,

"That should do it"

Soren said putting the caps back on.

"I think Miss Rochelle gave us so much of this holy water for a reason, she may have anticipated we would spill some, so we can use this to are advantage"

"So this is your plan? have to holy water bottles?"

He smirked and nodded.

"Will draw his attention to the original so he won't be expecting are back up, we only have the pieces to a puzzle this plan isn't perfect and it is easier said then done, so will  have to play it by ear, but this is all I've got"

He paused for a moment then continued.

So... are you up for it?"

He looked at her concerned his eyes couldn't help but land on her wounds, but she brushed off his concerns by getting to her feet.

"Don't worry about me sex doll boy, I can keep going even longer than you, oh and my wounds will be fine I am a girl that heals quick but-"

She said turning to him, looking him right in the eyes.

"I can't take him on alone so do you have my back?"

Soren's usually expressionless face was warped by a warm smile.

"You got it"

He stood and grabbed a broom that was in reach, he started practice swinging it and as he did Momo jokingly sneered at him.

"Are you serious?"

"Hey a weapon is better than no weapon"

The two smiled at each other but there little moment was killed as they could hear a loud rhythmic echoing banging, coming from outside the store it was far and faint but it was growing as it was getting closer.

"Kids..... Kids!"

Karl Marx said in a very weird sing song voice.

"Come out, come out where every you are! Kids.... Kids come out and play!"

At the near arrival of the possessed man the two knew that break time was over and it was almost time to start round two.
