Jake and Savant followed the monkey down the Futopian streets as the evil whir of the Dark Rider’s cycles raged behind them. Tires squealed against the asphalt and the bikes banged against the metal track as the dystopian enforcers gave chase to the two men and the space monkey.

Commander Mike ducked into a store called Flying Saucers and Cups and waved for the pair to follow him. Though large for a monkey, he was fast and nimble and it took the two men some time to catch up.

Commander Mike held the door and waved them into the store. “In here, new friends.”

Two of the cameras zipped in through the open door ahead of Jake and Savant. Commander Mike let the door slam shut and it rattled closed as the Dark Riders pulled up in the street outside.

The Monkeynaut scrambled over a broken mess of porcelain that had once been the shop’s offering of souvenir cups and, not so cleverly, saucers. He reached the back of the shop and propped open the employee entrance.

“Another secret tunnel? Perfect,” Savant grumbled and stepped through the door. The monkey grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back into the store.

“Watch it, monkey!”

Commander Mike put a finger to his lips and furled his brow. He said nothing but pointed frantically beneath the store’s counter and dove underneath. Using his hands and tail he brushed aside some debris to reveal an a/c vent which he lifted up. He then used his tail to direct the men inside.

Savant stepped back and shook his head for only a second before Jake shoved him to the floor and pushed him into the passage.

Jake followed and was relieved to find the air vent was large enough that he could crawl on hands and knees instead of slithering through on his stomach.

The grate closed behind them as Commander Mike followed. The monkey slid past him and pressed a finger to his lips to indicate silence once more. He then shot between Savant’s legs and shushed the startled engineer as well.

Savant stopped crawling and remained still.

Jake remained silent and motionless on his hands and knees in the vent for long enough to finally wonder if they should be taking orders from a robot monkey. Even if it was Commander Mike.

Then the footsteps fell above them and he found himself reluctant to breathe. A dozen feet belonging to half a dozen Dark Riders trampled the floor above them. The shop had been ravaged over the years but enough uncrushed ceramic remained to crumble under the robots’ feet as they rushed around.

Each crunch felt like it would pierce the metal ductwork. The sound bounced around the tin housing, making it difficult to track the Riders’ movements through the store. It felt like every step would bring the Riders crashing into the shaft with them.

A sudden scurrying of steps boomed loudly in the air duct. Then the footsteps grew more distant and the sound disappeared.

Savant inched forward again and Commander Mike popped out from between the engineer’s legs to wave Jake forward.
