Building Problems Ch-2

      "So.... how are things umm.... doing?" Klyde mumbled watching Kork mix her chemicals from the side. "Klyde, if you've come here to converse with me then I suggest you leave, I have no time...." Kork replied jotting down notes on her clipboard about the chemical's reactions.

     "Well actually," Klyde began as Kork went to mix some more chemicals together "I just wanted to see how your Mullberry Brew project was erm.... doing..." he said pushing his two index fingers together. He already felt guilty for making an agreement with Klogg but now he felt ten times worse for that he was now standing within her presence.

      "Oh that? I've almost worked the kinks out of i-," Kork froze and looked over her shoulder "how do you know about Mullberry Brew?" Klyde froze as well as he stood before her, her eyes full of suspicion. "Oh umm.... H-Hoborg told me about it..." Klyde replied trying not to reveal the truth. Kork turned around a crossed her arms and began slowly tapping her left foot. "Oh really? I haven't told Hoborg about it yet..." she said.

       That did it. Klyde glanced around the small lab quickly, trying to think of an exscuse. "Ummm...." Klyde avoided Kork's gaze as he strummed his fingers together. "Klyde, the only other being that knows about this is...," Klyde closed his eyes and waited for his cover to be blown "....Kat." Klyde opened his eyes in surprise.

       "R-really? Kat knows about it as well?" Klyde asked. Kork places her glove suited hands on her hips and sighed. "I told her to keep it a secret... I guess she's a rather huge blabbermouth..." Kork mumbled. Klyde stepped forward to stand next to Kork, now with a full confidence boost knowing that Kat, one of his very good friends also knew about her project.

       "Umm yeah, Kat told me eh-heh... s-so what does this brew do?" Klyde quickly replied staring into the vial which contained a golden brown liquid. "You see," Kork began "I'm not too sure what is in a Mullberry... but it seems to serve also as a stamina boost asides from a tasty snack... I'm planning on using for weak and sick hoodians, for when they need their strength back." Kork informed observing Klyde from a yard away as he held the small vial in his hands.

       "That's amazing..." Klyde informed looking at it more closely. Klyde couldn't really understand why Klogg would want it though.... he didn't appear sick or weak when he saw him. "Klyde..." Kork began to say.

        "Yes?" Klyde said still staring at the golden brown concoction. "I lied...," Kork noticed Klyde's eyes widen at her statement and a confused expression grew on his face "I never told Kat about this... the only other being that knows about this is... Klogg...." Klyde froze as he noticed Kork coming closer to him. "Klyde, give me back my brew... now," Kork demanded "I don't know what Klogg told you or whatever but..., just give it back now." she extended her hand out.

     Klyde froze. He could've given it back to Kork and told a lie to Klogg and end up never building her lab.....

        But he didn't.

     "Klyde! Stop! Get back here now!" Kork called out quickly guzziling down her remedy and returning herself to her normal size. "I'm sorry Kork....!" Klyde yelled back as he ran out of the Radio Station. "KLYDE.....!" Kork yelled out watching as her friend ran up the stairs, leaving her alone with more work on her hands...
