Book 4 - Schemer of the Scalding Sands: Chapter 12; Inconvenient Vacation

The screen turns on as the chapter title plays "Chapter - 12; Inconvenient Vacation".

More running noises and another whistle type blow is heard.

A student yelled at the duo "Settle down and submit quietly, you gray little street rat!" Grim shouted back at them "Gray, I'll give you, but I ain't no street rat!" But due to him turning around and shouting he had paused and gotten grabbed by one of the other students.

He shouted "LEMME GO!" back at said student as he tried to break away. The student that grabbed him shouted back "Argh, stop struggling! Back to your room with you!"

This made Yuu also stop running as her head snapped back to see Grim getting captured, then by pausing herself as well causing her to get captured as well.

The duo were this time thrown essentially to the floor as one of the students scolded "Now stay inside and don't give us any more trouble!"

Grim put a paw up towards the back of his neck as he shouts complaints at the student "Owww! You don't gotta swing me around by the scruff of my neck!"

The other student that had come to make sure the duo were back in their room commented "Looks like the dorm patrol neglected to lock their room door."

The other student turned his head to face the other as he told the other "Hmph. You'd better not forget to do it this time! If housewarden found out someone got away, can you imagine what he'd do to us?" The other says rather softly in comparison to before "No kidding…"

The two students stepped outside the door as the one that threw them in gave them one last threat "Remember, any more funny business and you won't get off so easily next time!" Before they slam and lock the door shut.

Grim pounded on the door then tried to pull it open as he shouted "HEY! Let me out!"

Meanwhile Yuu was just shocked as it sounded like that door had more locks on it than Azul's safe!

Grim gave up after a couple of minutes as he stated annoyed "The door ain't budgin'. We've been locked in."

Yuu had gotten up and sat on the bed within the period of time Grim was dealing with the door as she flopped entirely onto her back on it as she complained "From paradise to prison in record time…!" Clearly very exasperated as she added on the thought 'They're treating us like prisoners.'

Grim then joined her on the bed as he continued to complain "Is this how they treat their guests? We might as well be prisoners! I'm gonna have a word or three with Jamil in the morning."

Grim then had a smart idea for once as he asked Yuu "Oh yeah. Yuu, you got that handy little gizmo from the headmage, right?" She was confused for a second before realizing that he was talking about the phone and nodded as he continued "Use that and fill him in on what Scarabia's doin'!"

Her eyes widened in realization and she nodded again as she grabbed the phone and dialed Crowley's number.

It rang for a couple of seconds before there was another noise and then Crowley's voice was heard saying "Hello, you've reached Crowley."

Grim immediately spoke up shouting at the phone "Yo, Headmage! While you've been out, we've gotten into a whole heap of trouble!"

But it is then revealed that it just went straight to voice-mail as Crowley's voice is then heard saying "This phone is presently off for the duration of my tropical vaca–" but quickly corrected himself as he cleared his throat and finished in a deeper voice "–I mean, my vital investigation. Please leave a message at the tone. I'll respond if I feel inclined. Aren't I just the kindest?"

The beep is heard as Yuu frowned and Grim had a little outburst of anger "Oh, COME ON! You literally just started to say "vacation." You're not even tryin' to hide it! What's the point of givin' us this lousy thing if we can't reach you with it?! You really take the cake, Crowley, you know that?!"

Another beep is then heard as Yuu ended the phone call, slightly proud that he would hear that whole outburst as she wasn't sure if Grim had planned for him to hear all of that.

Grim looked out a window with an intricate built-in design with holes too small to get through as he told Yuu "Just send a message to Ace and Deuce for now, I guess." Yuu shrugged and went to message them next as Grim complained "Not that they'll be much help anyway…" Yuu rolled her eyes at that before the duo went to bed.

The screen fades to black as "To be continued" plays before turning fully off.
