Chapter 7
"Hey, Isabella, hand me the screw driver." Phineas said. "Here you go!" Isabella said cheerfully. She was so excited about Phineas's latest invention.
Phineas screwed a small nail into the F-Tracker and accidentaly dropped the screw driver. "Dang. This isn't so easy with one hand." He said, glancing at his arm hanging in the sling.
"I'll help!" Isabella said and picked up the screw driver and put it back on the shelf. The two of them were in the garage building the F-Tracker Phineas made a blue print of a while ago. Phineas had a little bit of difficulty without Ferb there to help him, and a LOT of difficulty with his useless arm in the sling.
"Great, then can you hold this wire for a moment?" He asked and handed her the thin blue wire he had pinched between two fingers. Isabella nodded and took it from him. Phineas held down a second blue wire and ran it through to connect to another wire. "Thanks." He said and took the first blue wire from her. He connected it to another wire and he grabbed a piece of metal and began to work on the DNA scanner for the F-Tracker.
He planned for it to be able to track wherever Ferb is on Earth. After about an hour of non stop working and help from Isabella, the F-Tracker was complete.
"Yes! It's finished!" Phineas exclaimed and held it up in triumph. Isabella grinned and applauded. "Yay! Now, explain how this is going to work, please?" She asked. Phineas grinned, the first grin he'd ever did since yesterday.
"First, you place the DNA of the person of your choice in this-" He pushed a button and a slide shot out . "-and it'll search everywhere in the entire world until it finds whoever you're looking for. At least that's what I'm hoping it'll do." He said and began walking back into the house. "I'm not sure though, because Ferb's usually the one who does this. I helped him of course, but he was so much smarter at this than I am." He admitted.
Isabella rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right. You're really smart, too, Phineas. And I KNOW this is gonna work!" She said and flashed him one of her cutest smiles.
Phineas blushed and quickly turned away before she noticed. "Oh, there you are, Phineas." Linda said. She, Lawrence, and Candace were in the living room, carefully inspecting the video again. "Candace called and told us what you discovered, and you're right, Isabella. But it won't help very much. We don't know where the pictures were taken and at what time. They could've been in the Artic ocean and are in Iceland by now." She said sadly.
Phineas was smiling the whole time. Even during his mom's negativity it hadn't faltered once. "Oh I don't think so. I'm confident we'll find Ferb, weather in a boat or on land, I'll find him." He said, the F-Tracker behind his back.
Lawrence looked at him with eyes of sympathy. "I know you want to find Ferb, Phineas, but how are you going to do that?" He asked. Phineas's smile still didn't disappear. "Just trust me on this." He said and ran upstairs to his room with Isabella following.
"Phineas! What are you going to use for Ferb's DNA? A piece of his hair?" She asked.
"Yeah. I know it might sound kinda cliché, but nothing else would manage to fit in the slot." He said and turned suddenly to the room down the hallway. "If you manage to find some of his hair, don't touch it with your hands. Then your DNA will get in it and mess the scan up. Use these:" He said and picked up some tweezers that were lying on Ferb's desk.
"Why does Ferb need tweezers?"
"He has nose hair issues." Phineas explained and tossed them to her.
"Okay, first see if you can find any of his pillow. I'll check his shirts." He said and picked up a random shirt out of the dirty clothes basket. Isabella nodded and began closely inspecting the pillow on Ferb's bed.
Nothing yet.
Phineas grabbed one shirt after the other, and couldn't find one. He ran into the bathroom real quick and checked the hair brush.
Nope. Just Candace's hair.
"Phineas!! I found one!" He heard Isabella yell and he hurried back to the room. "Really?! Let me see it." He said and grabbed the F-Tracker he placed on the desk earlier. Isabella was next to the window and in the tweezers were two pieces of green hair.
Phineas pushed the button and once again the DNA slot popped open. Isabella quickly placed the hairs onto the scanner and a small light flashed across the surface and they heard tiny beeps as the scanner closed.
Phineas stared intensely at the screen as more small beeps echoed through the room. His face lit up as a small 2D picture of the Earth was spinning and a small red dot appeared in the Atlantic Ocean and the screen zoomed in on it.
DNA match found the text across the screen read.
"YES!!!!" Phineas yelled. He didn't care if everyone in Danville heard, he was so amazed. His F-Tracker found Ferb!!
"Come on, Isabella! We gotta go to this place." He said and showed her the screen. Isabella smiled, but it quickly disappeared. "Wait a minute, Phineas. Ferb's dot is almost at Florida. We can't just go there on foot."
"So we'll just just buy some plane tickets or something."
"No, Phineas, we need to wait and see if he stays there or if he changes direction." Isabella tried explaining. Say they do get on the next flight to Florida. What if they're halfway there, and the F-Tracker says Ferb's now heading toward Africa?
"That's the problem! I can't wait! That's my brother, Isabella! I can't just sit here and wait while who knows what is happening to him!!" Phineas almost yelled. Isabella looked surprised, but quickly shook it off. "Phine-"
"NO!! I'M NOT JUST GOING TO STAY HERE ANY MORE!!!" He yelled and Isabella cringed and jumped back. 'D-did he just yell at me?' She thought confused.
Phineas was steaming now. You could almost see the smoke rising off his face. He held the F-Tracker tighter and ran out of the room, barely acknowledging the fact that everyone was now crowded in the hallway. He just pushed by them and ran down the stairs, taking two at a time.
"Phineas, wait!!" Candace yelled after him.
Phineas didn't listen. He ran straight through the front door and continued running down the road. He ran for three blocks when he started to feel tired. 'No. Keep going.' A voice in his mind told him. 'You have to save Ferb. Keep running. Don't stop for anything or anyone.'
"I'm not planning on it!" He said out loud and picked up speed. He looked back down at his F-Tracker and the red dot was still inching its way to Florida.
His legs were hurting and he couldn't breathe. But he had to get to the harbor. He couldn't afford a plane ticket by himself, so he figured he could rent a boat. He didn't think he would have time to build one himself.
He slowed down and leaned against a random building. He couldn't help it. He HAD to rest. Phineas, gasping and exhausted, sat down on the sidewalk, not caring if people stared at him.
"I'm sorry, Ferb, but wait just a while longer." He said outloud.
"Phineas!!" He looked on the street in front of him and a red car was parked along the curb. Candace jumped out, along with Isabella and his parents.
"Phineas Flynn, what do you think you're doing?" Linda asked. She has enough to worry about, with her stepson missing and all. She doesn't need her other son runnnig off like that.
Phineas didn't answer. Isabella sat down next to him, but she sat at least a foot away from. "Phineas, you can't go running off on your own like that. We need to calmy discuss what to do and then take action." She said, waiting for him to yell at her again.
But he didn't. He only stared at the concrete, acting like they weren't there.
"Phineas?" Candace asked, afraid he might have lost it. Phineas blinked, a small tear in the corner of his eye."I promised myself I would find Ferb...." He said.
"Phineas...." Isabella started.
"No matter what, I promised I would. I can't just sit here while I know he's out there, probably almost dead. I have to..." His eyes closed, and everyone realized he had fallen asleep.
