"Oh no" Judy gasped "Jimmy's run away"

"This is terrible" said Hugh "We have to do something about it"

"Good thing I put a tracker on his clothes just in case he got lost" Goddard said.

Goddard ran the coordinates of the tracker through his scanner and a map came up, where a beeping red dot came up.

"I see him on your tracking thingy, Goddard" Carl pointed to the map on Goddard's screen "He's in the woods far outside of town"

"Then that's where we are headed" said Judy "Come on"

"To the hover car!" Carl proclaimed.

They went to the hover car and started to fly to the woods where Jimmy could've been.

As for Jimmy himself, he was in the woods taking a long, silent walk by himself.

"I'm a loser" he thought as he silently sobbed "Nobody cares about me, I always hurt people, everybody hates my inventions and even my own friends won't stand by me. I hate being a genius. Everyone hates me, even my own relatives. They even say it to my face. I hate myself and I hate everyone and everything else"

As Jimmy walked, he bumped into two hunters.

"Hey kid!" shouted the first hunter "Watch you're going you little twerp!"

"Sorry" Jimmy sighed.

"You could've damaged my double bullet" the man barked "You worthless piece of crap!"

"I said I was sorry" Jimmy sadly said.

"Sorry, schmorry!" the man snapped "What're you gonna do, cry?"

More tears started to fall from Jimmy's eyes and he started to cry.

"Awww" the second hunter said sarcastically "Did I make the widdle boy cry? Why don't you go crying to your mommy?"

Jimmy tried to talk "Well, I-"

"Mommy, help me" the first hunter mocked "Waah, wah wah wah!"

"Baby, I'm a stupid baby" the second hunter mocked Jimmy.

Jimmy wanted to fight back, but they had guns and they were adults, he couldn't fight them, so he decided to ignore them and silently walk away while the hunters continued to mock Jimmy and laugh at him. He decided he would do something he never thought he'd consider...

"I have to do it" he sadly thought to himself "I should just end it all"

Meanwhile, Jimmy's friends and parents were still on their way to the woods. Along the way, Cindy had been having some thoughts.

"Why'd I have to be so mean to Jimmy?" she thought "If I hadn't been so blinded by my stupid pride, this never would've happened and maybe we'd finally be together. This is all my fault"

Little did Cindy know that everyone else was having some thoughts about Jimmy.

"I can't believe I ever envied Jimmy in the first place" Carl thought "I always wanted his life, but I didn't realize how much he hated it. It must suck to be the only genius in the world and to be ridiculed and demeaned by everyone"

"I hope we find Jimmy soon" Libby thought "Sure would hate to see him go through serious depression"

"Jimmy did save the school play and fill in for me when I couldn't" thought Nick "Maybe I could've thanked him or at least gave him a pat on the back"

"I hope Jimmy doesn't do what Daniel was attempting to do" thought Brittany "I don't think I'll ever live that down. If I ever lost Daniel, I don't know what I'd do. He and I have always been so close and I don't want to lose him forever. I love him. I almost lost my favoritest cousin. I can't lose one of my friends"

Eventually, they finally landed where the tracker was. Unfortunately, they didn't find what they were looking for.

"Here we are" said Cindy "Now let's find-"

"Uh guys" said Goddard "You may want to come take a look at this"

Hugh, Judy and the kids got out of the hover car and got onto the ground. They saw that the tracker was just lying on the ground.

"Oh my god" said Goddard "It would seem that Jimmy has removed the tracker from his clothing"

"That means he could be anywhere right now" Libby said "We have to find him and fast!"

"Libby's right" said Carl "For all we know, he could've gotten eaten or drowned or-"

Everyone glared at Carl.

"Sorry" he quickly said.

"We have to search for Jimbo" Hugh said "He could be anywhere"

"Then there's no time to waste" Libby said "Come on"

The gang all started to search for Jimmy throughout the whole forest, but with no luck at all.

"Jimmy!" Carl shouted "Jimmy!"

"Jimmy!" shouted Nick "Where are you, Nerd Bomb?"

"Come on out, wherever you are, son" said Hugh.

"Oh Jimmy, where are you?" Cindy thought to herself.

"We have to find Jimmy" Brittany said to the others "And we have to be there for him or he could make the biggest mistake of his life...or worse"

"What do you mean by worse, Brittany?" asked Libby.

Brittany sighed "My cousin went through serious depression, as I said before and he was thinking about doing some really bad things to himself"

"Bad things?" asked Cindy "Like what?"

Brittany tried to speak up "Well you see-"

"Hey look!" said Carl "There's some people over there"

Yes indeed. Carl spotted the two hunters, Jimmy had encountered earlier. They were sitting on rocks while eating beef jerky and whittling sticks, while admiring their shotguns.

"Maybe they've seen Jimmy" suggested Nick "Let's check it out"

"Hey buddy" Hugh said as they walked over to the hunters "Can we ask you something?"

"What do you want, pal?" the first hunter spat.

"Our friend got lost in these woods and we're trying to find him" Cindy explained "Have you seen him?"

"Here's a picture of him!" Hugh showed the hunters a photo of Jimmy.

"Yeah" said the first hunter, rudely "I've seen him, but I ain't telling you, so buzz off you freaks!"

"Yeah, or we'll be forced to shoot you if you don't" the second hunter chuckled.

Judy cracked her knuckled "Oh really? Goddard! Activate arsenal 6A!"

Goddard nodded his head, opened up his back and out came a large laser cannon, which pointed right at the hunters.

"Goddard, blast them" said Judy.

"You got it, Jude" Goddard said as he started to fire up the cannon.

"OKAY! OKAY!" the first hunter panicked "I'll talk! Downriver! He went downriver!"

"Thank you" Judy said in a gentle voice.

Goddard retracted the plasma cannon back into his back "Thanks for the info, gentlemen"

"Quick!" said Hugh "Downriver!"

While Judy, Hugh and the kids headed downriver, Goddard stopped for a brief moment and zapped the hunters' guns, reducing them to ashes. Then, he joined the others to search for Jimmy.

"Jimmy's headed downriver" Brittany said they walked downriver "That's not good at all"

"What do you mean, Brit?" asked Cindy.

"There are really long and strong vines in that area of the woods" Brittany explained "They can probably hold onto anything and the river gets more rapid and deep downriver. You see, my cousin Daniel was going through depression after being bullied countless times. He had been going through this for his whole life. He was beaten up, verbally abused and his mental state almost deteriorated. One day, he was finally fed up with all the bullying and he had some really horrifying thoughts of what to do to end it all..."

"You still haven't told us, what kind of thoughts did your cousin have?" Libby asked Brittany.

Brittany gulped "He...he..."

"Spit it out Tenelli" shouted Nick.

"...almost killed himself" Brittany tearfully finished "He was going to shoot himself in the head with his father's gun"

Everybody's eyes widened and their jaws dropped wide open.

Author's Note:

OH NO! Now the others really have to find Jimmy before he does something very horrible! Now this is getting more and more serious. After years of being ridiculed, shunned and endangering everyone around him with his inventions and curiosity, Jimmy is going to do the unthinkable. Stay tuned! And I mean it.
