Author's Note: I bet the title answer's the question of who (correction: whom), is gonna rescue Kevin. Keep on countin' up the references!

Chapter 3

Saved by My Evil Boss and His Giant

Robot Man

Kevin:

Hanging over the edge of a pit is one of the best places to meet up with an old friend. If I had a nickel for every time I said that. I thought. Well, I guess I could get a candy bar or something. I thought about the situation at hand, and how I could escape. Climbing was out of the question, as I had no upper body strength what-so-ever. All I had in my satchel was a flashlight and a pack of gum. Maybe, I thought, I could use the flashlight to check how deep the pit is… I dropped the flashlight and counted aloud, "One… two… three…" *CLANG* The sound reverberated through the room, and when it stopped, I mumbled to myself, "There. Now I know that it's three seconds deep."

In the next room, I heard someone say, in a strange (Possibly German?) accent, "Wait, did you hear that Norm!" Another, more cheerful, yet robotic, voice said, "Yes, yes I did." The man with the accent replied, "I think it came from over there." I couldn't see anything over the pit, but I heard the sound of someone walking towards the entrance to the room. It was soon drowned out by the sound of mechanical footsteps. As the unknown duo entered the room, I couldn't understand why the voices sounded so familiar to me. Then I remembered.

"Heinz! Norm!" I called out to my old boss and his robot assistant.

"Who's there?" Heinz called out from near the entrance of the room. I would have face palmed, but I was kind of hanging over the edge of a pit. Same old Heinz. I thought to myself.

"It's me, Kevin, over here in the pit." I heard footsteps, followed by Heinz's voice saying, "Hold on," (No duh…) "I'll be there in a minute." I saw Heinz's head poke out from over the edge of the pit, and he grabbed my wrists and helped me to safety. I tried to stand up, but I would have tumbled back into the fissure if Heinz hadn't grabbed the collar of my shirt. I regained my balance and started to walk out of the room, when Heinz ran up to me with Norm close behind.

"Hey, hey, hey! You're just gonna leave and not say thank you?" I turned to face him and, in the sternest voice I could muster, said, "Thank you Heinz. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go find Rodney." I turned and continued to walk out of the room, but Heinz insisted to follow me.

"Not without me, you're not!" Heinz said, walking behind me as he spoke. He paused for a second, and then said in an uncertain tone in his voice, "I think I said that correctly…"

I sighed and left the room, walking down the halls, avoiding any traps that weren't activated yet. Fine, I thought to myself, let him follow me. The worst he can do is annoy me to death. Boy was I wrong…

Author's Note: When Doof says "Not without me, you're not!" I really didn't think it was stated correctly, so I added the "I think I said that correctly…" part. Anyway, I added a section for references to the show, and when at least three people try to guess how many there are in a chapter, I will tell them how many I intended to include, and who ever gets closest might get to appear in the story as a cameo. If not, you would get some garlic ice cream.

Kick it up a notch and carpe diem!
