Locked life [REMAKE IN CONSIDERATION]

Chapter 1. Savings?

"So how much do we have on us right now?"
Socks asked anxiously pacing around his room.

"So far just 25 cents and a really ripped up 10$ bucks.."
Joocie threw a rusty lunch box onto the table.

"We're not even close to 150k!"
Socks wailed.

"What about your money from NASA?"
Joocie asked quickly.

"Jooice, I'm literally retired, plus now I think of it...they never gave me my money! Let's go right now!"
Socks swiftly got up and ran to the NASA building.

They got to the NASA building shortly after Socks decided to run there while Joocie drove.

"Uh Socks, remember you used your money for NASA Repairs, right mate?"
A man wearing a gas mask was at the counter.

"Uh- excuse me!? Since when!? Since when!?"
Socks grabbed the man's shirt collar and shook him roughly.

"M-Mate I would like it if you would stop shaking me-"
The man was clearly getting dizzy and was about to pass out.

"Oh sorry, let me try again."
Socks let go and cleared his throat.

"WHEN DID I PAY FOR NASA REPAIRS!?"
He screamed.

The man didn't flinch as he took out a notepad and pen.

"Socks, Socks, brother. That's not how we ask."
Joocie pushed Socks aside and cleared his throat.

"WHY IS ALL OUR MONEY GONE!?"
Joocie wailed loudly.

The man sighed again.

"It says here you spent it on repairs on October 13th."
The man answered Socks calmly.

"13? 13!? GRRR UNLUCKY NUMBER!"
Socks slammed his hand onto the counter.

"I have another way you can earn money."
The man chuckled.

"What how!? How much do we get for it!?"
Socks gasped.

"It'll get you enough to get out of debt with my boss."
The man turned his chair around.

"Wait wait, we aren't in debt with your boss! Errrr-"
Socks looked at the name plate that says "1# counterman Laff""

"Laff!"
Socks finished his sentence.

Laff turned around.
"Yes you are. He'll take some money off your debt is what I'm saying."
Laff clarified.

"Fine, fine! Where do we start?"
Socks groaned.

"There were huge sound waves coming from the North side of a national park. I want you to investigate."
Laff gave them a map with the area circled on it.

Joocie took the Map from Laff, then looked at Socks with uncertainty.

"Well..?"
Laff sat in his chair like a smug man. (Which he was)

"We'll be going."
Joocie replied as he dragged Socks outside.

"Come back with good results."
Laff called after them as they walked out of the huge building.

"I have a bad feeling about this Socks, what if we don't come back home, and leave him alone to fend for himself.."
Joocie clutched the map tightly.

"We can check up on him if you're worried."
Socks placed a reassuring hand on Joocie's shoulder.

"Well it's good to say goodbye to your family at least."
Joocie yawned, opening the car door.

"You drive."
Joocie tossed the key to Socks.

Socks caught it and groaned.

"But I have arthritis!"
Socks complained.

"No you don't, you're just lazy, stop using arthritis as an Excuse."
Joocie rolled his eyes.

"Fine."
Socks turned on the Car and started to drive back home.

"Also I'm the one with a glass of orange juice as a head."
Joocie knocked his glass cup head.

"You can't use that as an excuse."
Socks grumbled.

"Uh yes I can, I was a spy that almost died so yes I can, and plus I'm retired."
Joocie rolled his eyes.

"UHM EXCUSE ME, I'M RETIRED FROM NASA!"
Socks huffed.

"Big brother, inside voices, I'm not the oldest old man."
Joocie grinned.

"JOOICE YOU'RE LITERALLY OLDER THAN ME YOU OLD MAN!"
Socks then hits the brakes, making Joocie get pushed forward but the seat belt stopped him from hitting his head on something.

"DRIVE PROPERLY, YOU GOT US INTO THIS MESS!"
Joocie whacked Sock's head.

"THATS CHILD ABUSE."
Socks gasped loudly, pointing at Joocie.

"DRIVE!"
Joocie forced Socks to get moving as he turned the steering wheel.

"STOP IT-"
Socks pushed Joocie's face away, Socks screeched loudly as a large brown fence hit the car.

"Well...I might've busted the car."
Socks got out.

"Hey we're home."
Joocie pointed at a sign that said "Orange Sunside Ranch"

"Oh goodie, so are you repairing?"
Socks kicked the busted blue car.

Joocie threw a rock at Socks.

"OUCH-"
