The great cheese robbery (part 1 - story)

Cheese, floating, bouncing, swirling, running.
Cheese floating away, swirling in the air, cheese rolling away, bouncing as it goes.
So many cheeses, all going, going away, floating away, running away, being taken away…
“Aaahh!” screamed SHEEPY as he sat bolt up in bed. A cold sweat ran down his face and dripped onto his saturated bed sheets. Peering into the darkness his breathing became heavy.
“I must,” he paused for breath as if he had just ran a 100m, “check,” he paused again though this time not for breath but to assure himself he was alone. Then he continued, “check the cheeses.”
He peeled away the duvet, which was stuck to his sweaty legs and swiveled around so that they dangled over the edge of the bed. He hopped down and walked slowly over to the door where his furry green coat hung. After putting both arms in he reached for the doorknob and twisted. After walking down 2 flights of stairs he came to the front door. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a large set of house keys, then placed the right key into the lock and turned. Click! SHEEPY grabbed the door handle and pulled, and pulled, and pulled but to no avail the door stayed put and didn’t budge an inch.
SHEEPY suddenly heard a bang from the garden like a door being slammed.
“ My cheeses!” with that he clenched his fist and punched the wooden door as hard as he could. Click!
This time he grabbed the brass handle with both hands and pulled as hard as he could. His efforts paid off in the end as the door swung open. He stepped outside and started to run over the moist grass to the cheese barn. As he ran a refreshing cold breeze blow across his face with the stench of cheddar.
“No! Not the 1936 cheddar! Shrieked SHEEPY, “You b*st*rd !”
When he reached the barn it was too late. He sprinted through the open door and then halted suddenly to a stop. He looked around and with an expression of fear and amazement on his face as he saw the 100’s of large empty wooden shelves.
“ You evil little…” he stopped and looked at the corner of the barn where a small chunk of Danish blue was lying, “What?! Sodding Danish blue not good enough for you?!huh?!”
SHEEPY walked over to the smelly cheese and sat down beside it cross-legged. He reached over and ripped a piece off and slowly started to cram it into his mouth.
Tears silently rolled down his cheek as he sat there in semi darkness until morning.

--------------------------------------------

C***-a-doodle-doo!
SHEEPY rose from the ground where he had been sitting for the majority of the night and stormed out of the barn and headed towards the house.
When he reached the living room he picked up his black home phone which was on an oak table and while he grasped the receiver tightly he dialed the number 999.
“ Hello is that the police?” he asked in a calm voice.
“Yes this is Tony here… how may I help you?”
“My cheeses,” he stopped and took a deep breath, “they’ve been stolen!”
“My god. That’s terrible! We’ll be right over!”

----------------------------------------------

Five minutes later 3 police cars pulled up outside of the house. SHEEPY opened the door as Tony and a few other men walked up the concrete path leading to the front door.
“Let’s get right to business,” said Tony as he pulled out a notebook with a pencil in the coils from his shirt pocket, “who knows about your cheeses?” SHEEPY gave Tony a list of all the people who knew about the cheese barn and then gave him another list of what had been stolen.
“ That’s quite a lot!” said Tony in amazement as he scrolled down the list, “ok. Me and the boys will round up the suspects and we’ll call you to tell you when to come down to the station.ok?” SHEEPY smiled bravely and waved as the cars drove away, it was now just a matter of time.

-----------------------------------------------

2 police officers stepped out of their grey Volvo and opened a small red rusty gate. They then walked up the cracked stone path which lead to a warn down old council house. Tony was just about to ring the door bell when he noticed a wire hanging out of the top of the door which ‘had’ been connected to the button, so fear of electrocution he knocked.
“Who is it?” said a small voice from inside the house.
“It’s the police. Does a Mr Fantsymeister live here?”
“no-n-no I don’t,” stuttered the small voice.
“ We know that’s you FM. Come out!”
“ I told you, I don’t… I mean he doesn’t live here.”
“If you don’t come out now we’ll break down the door!” The door slowly opened and Fantsymeister stepped outside.
“That’s better,” said the other officer.
“If it’s about that incident with the dog,” said Fantsymeister, “it wasn’t my fault. It told me it was 16, how was I to it was just a puppy?!”
“No its not that….um….but what did happen?” asked the other officer.
“Well you see, I was extremely drunk and this dog was talking to me and it said……”
“Stop!” interrupted Tony, “SHEEPY’s cheese has been stolen and we need to ask you some questions at the station. That’s all.”

-------------------------------------------

A policewoman by the name of Katy entered an empty petrol station.
The only person in there was a cashier who was goggling at this month’s playboy magazine while munching on a mars bar.
“Hello?” said Katy. The man quickly looked up, saw the woman and threw the porn behind the counter.
“How may I help you?” replied the cashier.
“Are you stick474?”
“Yep that’s me,” he said with a big grin on his face.
“You’re under arrest.” His face dropped.
“What?! It was only some harmless porn!”
“Not for that! SHEEPY’s cheese has been stolen!”
“And you think I did it?!”
“No, just that your name was on SHEPPY’s list so we have to take you down to the station.”
“Can I take my maga…..”
“NO!”

-----------------------------------------------

Bring! Bring!
“Hello?
Oh hi SHEEPY how are you?…….yeah I’m fine.
What do you want?
Yeah, yeah……no, really?!
What…..Where am I now?
At the racetrack, why?
Ok, I’ll come to the police station.
Do you want me to bring Ant?
Ok, ok, bye.

--------------------------------------------

“Hi Ice Blaster,” said Grix Thraves.
“Hi I B,” said Whoooo Style shortly after.
“Hey guys, hows you?” replied Ice Blaster as he leaned out of his white ice cream van.
“Horrible!!!” growled Whoooo Style.
“Yeah!” added Grix Thraves, “There’s no cheese left in mc Donald’s so we can’t have a cheese burger!”
“No cheese huh? Sheepy’s cheese has gone too! Stolen they say!” The 2 stepped back in shock.
Ice Blaster beckoned them to come closer. “The word on the street is that someone is taking all the cheese and using it to create some kind of dooms day device!”
Just then er-no and er-yes walked past.
“Hay!” shouted er-no, “your all wanted at the police station right away!”
“Why?” asked Whoooo Style.
“Something about cheese and SHEEPY.”
“Quick,” said Ice Blaster, “hop in my van, all of you. We’ll get there in no time.”

----------------------------------

The van screeched up to a halt in the police station car park and everyone got out and marched to the entrance. As they walked into the reception a voice from the corner said, “what do you want?”
They all turned and looked at the short, fat, bald man who was seated behind a large wooden desk.
“We are all here because of a sheep and his missing cheese.” Replied er-yes.
“I’m sorry,” said the man in an understanding voice, “the mental hospital is 3 streets away.”
“No, no.” Grix Thraves stepped to the front, “ look just tell Tony we are all here.”
“And you lot are?”
“Just say….people who know SHEEPY.” The man stood up and exited at a door to the left of him.
The reception room was completely deserted; no one was in sight. Out breaks of chat appeared in the group as they waited for the man to return. When he did (which was about 5 minutes later) he told them that Tony was expecting them and that they should go right through.
“Hi guys,” said Tony as they entered the room, “please sit down.” He pointed to a set of blue fluffy chairs against one of the walls. The room was cold and bland but without thinking about it they all sat down…….BOOM!!!
Thick glass slammed down from the ceiling and sectioned off the group from the rest of the room.
“Don’t try and touch the glass its…”
“Aaaaahhh!!!” screamed Whoooo Style as he flew back the glass and smashed into the wall!
“…Got a special electronic current going through it at 50,000 vaults.” Said Tony with a big smile on his face. “But don’t worry, you won’t be alone…” while saying this he walked over to the door and flicked a green switch which was next too the handle. Two walls started to sink into the ground revealing around 30 more people in chairs trapped behind glass. “All your friends are here too. You see I stole SHEEPY’s cheese and all the other cheese in the world. I put your guys here because I knew you are the only people who may have a chance in stopping me!” he stopped to take a breath and then moved away from the door, “with the cheeses I’m going to… Ha! I’m not stupid; I’ve seen the movies! The evil dude tells the good guys his ‘master plan’ then they break free and stop it. I’ll just leave you with these thoughts…”
“Not so fast!” shouted Lexus as he burst through the door.
“Yes!” said stick474 in a jolly voice, “Ha! Ha! Someone fooled you Tony after all!”
“Do not fear,” said Lexus in a deep voice, “ I shall…”
BANG!!! The bullet passed strait through Lexus’s body and through a small bit of grass on the other side of the room inches from dan2k1’s head before hitting the wall and landing on his shoe. Lexus fell to the floor like a sack of spuds.
“Ha! Ha! Ha!” chuckled Tony as he put away his gun.
“Don’t worry,” said Fantsymeister in a comforting voice. He placed his index fingers on both of his temples and his eyes turned white. “I shall create a voice in his head, which will tell him to set us free and then… …OUCH!!! Why did you kick me Edgy?” Fantsymeister eyes then turned back to normal and he began to rub his leg. “Well Edgy?”
“ I just think the whole ‘voices in your head’ thing is getting a bit old, that’s all.”
“Fair enough,” Tony headed back towards the door.
“ Sorry but I gotta go, things to do, planets to destroy. Bye!” With that, Tony shut the door behind him and he was gone.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Dan2k1 looked at the hole infront of his head in the glass and it got him thinking.
“now the hole is about the size of a 5p. A human couldn’t get through but what could?” thought Dan2k1.
“That’s it!” Shouted Dan2k1
“ What’s it?” asked Ice Blaster.
“The hole infront of my head! I can’t fit through but…” he reached into his pocket and pulled a swan matchbox.
“Yeah!” said er-no in a voice full excitement, “we could rip the box to bits and put them through the hole. Then the cleaners will be called and they will come and save us!” er-no smiled smugly feeling quite chuffed with himself.
“Noooooo,” said Dan2k1 calmly, “look.” With his finger he pushed open the box and who was inside? No other than Ant!
“Yes, I see now!” said er-no in a sarcastic voice, “we put ant through the hole and with his superhuman strength he will smash the and will not get electrocuted! Why didn’t I think of that!”
“Just listen and learn! Now Fantsymeister you dabble in a bit of black magic don’t you?”
“This and that.”
“Well here’s my plan. We put Ant through the hole and he goes and checks if the bald guy has gone. Once the coast is clear Fantsymeister will raise Lexus from the dead and he will be a zombie to do our biding. We will tell him to smash the glass and we will go off and stop Tony!”
“Great plan!” said Grix Thraves.
“I NEED THE LOO!!! Said a booming voice from the corner. Everyone turned to see a 7-foot blue
Fuzzy monster with his legs crossed who answers to the name of ‘Wookiee monster’.
“Is there a toilet near by?! Tell me!” screamed Wookiee monster. His eyes turned blood red and steam blow out of his nose and ears like a kettle reaching boiling point.
“Run!” shouted Your Honour as he waved his arms in the air; “He’s flipped!”
Wookiee monster clenched his fist and then head butted the glass. It shattered into a million pieces and with impact on the floor they crumbled leaving a fine powder where the glass once stood.
Wookiee monster wasted no time and was out the door in a matter of seconds.
“There goes your plan Dan,” said Qűik§iLve® as he stepped out of the glass prison.
“I’ll get a chair and free the others,” said Goatboy as he ran out the door. goatboy returned with a leather swivel chair and stood infront of er-yes who was still behind a glass wall.
“Move out the way er-yes,” said goatboy with the chair above his head. Everyone moved to the side as he threw the chair, sparks flew off as it passed though the thick glass and shattered it. He then picked it up again and walked up to the last see-through wall.
“Stand back,” he said as he threw the chair. SMASH!!!
“May I ask you something goatboy?” inquired stick474.
“What?”
“Where did you get that chair?”
“Well, you know that bald guy.”
“Yeah.”
“You know he was sitting on a chair.”
“Yeah.”
“Well he’s not any more!” stick474 looked around the doorway to see the bald guy gagged and tied up.
“ How did you do that so fast?”
“I used to be in the army.”
The freed characters started to form groups around the room and chat.
“Oh.” The_Vottanator walked over to the middle of the room and kicked Lexus.
“He’s dead as dead can be,” said The_Vottanator as he tap Lexus with his foot. But then he stopped and noticed a tag around his neck hanging by a piece of orange wool. He bent down and looked closely at the tag. It was old and made of cardboard with something written on it with a crayon. “If found please return to cabbage patch,” he read. The room stopped and everyone starred at The_Vottanator.
“What did you say?” asked fish-e.
“On his neck,” said The_Vottanator, “There’s a tag which says ‘if found please return to cabbage patch’
“We might as well take him to the allotments,” said Meka Dragon, “you know, the one round the back of here. It’s the right think to do.”
“naaaa,” said Bonus in a dull board voice, “ I think we should go get Tony.”
“ I disagree,” said stick474, “k we should do as the tag says.”
“Well?” said Bonus as he turned to the crowd, “do you want to go find Tony and stop him, or do you want to take this freak to a veggie patch?”
“I’ll give you that,” said Meka Dragon, “he is a freak, but I still think we should do what right.”
“Ok,” said a smiling bonus, “if you want to take this fool to a cabbage patch, stay here. Or if you want to go stop Tony then follow me.” Once he had finished his speech Bonus walked out the door and was shortly followed by around 25 others.
“Well I guess it’s just us left,” said Ice Blaster as he looked around the room, “just fill in this form and we’ll be off.” He pulled out and unfolded a sheet of white A4 and passed it to er-no.
“Um… I don’t mean to be complicated but…” er-no paused and looked down to the floor, “well… um… do we have to… no, what I mean is… well, why do we have to sign the form?”
“Yeah, why?” asked Dan2k1.
“You know, insurance…”
“And…”
“Ok,” said Ice Blaster quickly, “if you sign this form, if you die… it means… I get all your stuff.”
“I’m not filling out that!” said Grix Thraves in an angry voice.
“Ok,” said Ice Blaster, “lets just see who’s here. Ok we’ve got Grix Thraves, er-no, stick474, Dan2k1, Ant, Meka Dragon, Fantsymeister, fish-e and me.” Stick474 walked over and grabbed Lexus’s left foot.
“Anyone want to help?” he asked.
“Yes, yes, right… um, I’ll take his right arm and Meka, you take his left.” said Grix Thraves as he rushed over and grasped the right arm or the corpse.
“I don’t want to!” wined Meka.
“What do you mean?” inquired Fantsymeister.
“Monsters, guards, soul sucking demons I can handle,” meka put his head in his hands, “ but a dead body. No I just can’t!” cried Meka.
“Fine,” said Fantsymeister. He reached over and clutched the other arm. “If you want to be a little girl, go ahead. As for the rest of us, lets go.” Fantsymeister, Stick474 and Grix Thraves raised the body from the white polished floor, which was not so hard as Lexus was only a 7 stone 14 year old.
“Ok group,” said Grix Thraves, “lets move out.”

-------------------------------------------

They carried the body around the back of the police station and entered the allotments.
The patches were all different colours with carrots in one, marrow’s in another, and tomato’s here and there. It was as if the whole place was a giant patchwork quilt.
“Which one?” asked Ice Blaster in a frantic voice as he looked around, “I can see about 10!”
“Let’s just drop him at the closest one,” said Dan2k1. They walked over to the closest cabbage patch and dropped Lexus.
“Didn’t he have two feet?” asked fish-e.
“Yeah, why do you ask?” said stick474. He looked down and noticed that Lexus right foot was missing, “it must have fallen off when we picked him up.”
“I’ll go back and get it.” Said fish-e as he shot off. Just as he was out of the allotments he suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong fish-e?” asked er-no.
“I can smell cheese.”
“Hey, he could smell Tony!” said er-no.
“He does have a superhuman sense of smell,” said Meka Dragon, “that’s how he got his name. Tony did steel all the cheese; it’s got to be him. Fish-e could sniff out the cent and we could follow him to stop Tony.”
“Great idea” said Stick474 as he and Grix Thraves simultaneously dropped the body into the fertile brown soil of the cabbage patch.
The group left the dead body where it was and forgot about it completely in the excitement.
“Ok Fish-e” said Fantsymeister as he patted him on the back, “lets go”. Fish-e raced off and disappeared around the corner of the station and the platoon ran after him.

---------------------------------------

After round 10 minutes of running Fish-e finally stopped at the ‘Hogworths chemical plant’. It was a fairly large site, with one main 4 story rectangular building in the centre and many smaller buildings trailing off of it. Connected to the main building were also 2 very large concrete funnel shaped cooling towers, which were puffing out steam into the atmosphere.
An enormous thick brick wall guarded the grounds with spikes coming out the top covered in barbed wire. There was also a guard hut next to the entrance to stop the unregistered cars and people going into the car park.
“This is the place,” said Fish-e, “Tony must be inside.”
At this moment in time the group were hiding behind a bush, well all except Fantsymeister. He stood next to the wall and tapped at a barbed wire spike. After pricking his finger her walked back to the hiding place.
“We ain’t getting over that,” he said, pointing with his sore index finger to where he had come from.
“We’ll have to go through the gate,” said Dan2k1. Everyone peered over the bush at the large barred gates blocking the entrance road to the plant. Only one guard was in sight but there was always a chance of another in the hut.
“I’ll get him,” said Meka Dragon. Without thinking twice he pulled a flick knife from his back jeans pocket and ran towards the guard. He pushed a button on the knife and a spring-loaded blade popped up like a slice of bread from a toaster.
The man was facing the other way so Meka slowed down and crept up behind him. He pulled his arm back and drove the knife forward with immense force, piercing the clothing and the flesh of the watchman. He let out a cry of pain and fell onto his knees.
Unfortunately another guard ran out of the hut and fired a gun shot at Meka who then fell onto the tarmac.
“There goes Meka,” said Er-no in a calm voice as he reached into his jacket. He then pulled out a handgun and aimed it at the armed man at the gates. “BANG!” The death toll now reached 3. The crowd now ran over to the gates and shook the bars.
“Damn,” moaned Stick474, “it’s locked.”
Grix Thraves and Fish-e went over and inspected the bodies; Grix Thraves took the knife from Meka’s dead hand. “Nice,” said Grix Thraves, “no point wasting a good knife.”
“Hey guys!” shouted Fantsymeister. Everyone turned to see him in the hut. “There’s a button here that says open.”
“Well……” said Fish-e.
“Well what?”
“Press it.”
Fantsymeister pressed the button and the gates slowly opened…….

I always write topics as they come to me while I'm on the forum. I even wrote over 1000 words once, so it's just a matter of having a good idea. Not that I won a GAD for that one, but then the person who did had a longer post and it was a good post so I'm not bitter.
