~Chapter 6: The Phone Call~
"Who is this," Mephiles says as he picked up the phone. A mysterious voice answered him saying, "I need you to do a little favor for me, Mephiles." Mephiles was worried, but quickly overcame it by saying, "How do you know who I am, and how did you get this number. The last time I checked, my number wasn't in the telephone book." "That I know, Mephiles. Like I said before, I need you to do a little favor for me," said the mysterious voice on the other line.
Mephiles sighed. He was afraid of what the 'little favor' was for he didn't want Bonnie and Clyde to get hurt in any way, or worse, taken away from him. "I'm listening," Mephiles said at last. "Good," said the mysterious caller, "I need you to bring young Bonnie to the alleyway that you found her in." Surprised, Mephiles said, "No that is completely out of the question. Give me a good reason why I should bring Bonnie to a place like that." The mysterious caller then said, "You have until midnight tonight to bring her, or I will come to your home, and kill both of the twins." With that, the mysterious caller hung up.
Mephiles turned his head and looked at Bonnie. She was rolling on the couch, playing with her toes. Mephiles then walked over to her and picked her up. "Where we going?" Bonnie asked innocently. Mephiles looked into her little eyes and said, "Daddy has to take you to his room for a moment." "Ok," responded Bonnie.
Mephiles placed Bonnie on his bed and went looking in the drawers of his dresser. Bonnie tried to see what Mephiles was doing, but ended up falling off the bed. When Mephiles heard Bonnie crying, he turned around, picked her up, and placed her back on the bed. When Mephiles went back to what he was doing, Bonnie stopped crying and started to roll around on the bed, playing with her toes.
Mephiles took out of the drawer a little white dress with little pink flowers on it. Mephiles turned to Bonnie and then dressed her in the white dress he found for her. Mephiles then took out a pair of little pink socks with white flowers on them and a pair of white shoes with little pink bows on them and placed both the socks and the shoes on her tiny feet.
Mephiles looked at Bonnie for he thought that she looked like an angel. Mephiles looked at the clock that was on his nightstand. The clock said it was 7:30. Mephiles then looked back to Bonnie and said, "Go back downstairs and sit on the couch while I make you and your ungrateful brother dinner." Obediently, Bonnie did what Mephiles said.
Before he went into the kitchen, Mephiles peeked into Clyde's room and saw him playing with his action figures. "Have you learned your lesson?" asked Mephiles. Surprised to see him, Clyde jumped up and said, "Yes sir, I have learned my lesson." Pleased, Mephiles said, "Good. Now go downstairs and sit on the couch with your sister as I make the two of you dinner.
As the twins were eating, Mephiles phoned Shadow.
Shadow: Hello? Who is this?
Mephiles: It's me, Mephiles. I have a favor to ask you.
Shadow: *sighs* What is it Mephiles?
Mephiles: I need you to keep an eye on Clyde for me.
Shadow: What for?
Mephiles: I need to take Bonnie somewhere important and you're the only one who can keep Clyde under control.
Shadow thought. He hated babysitting more than he hated community service. But Shadow then realized that Clyde liked it when Shadow was doing something with his guns.
Shadow: All right, Mephiles. I'll keep an eye on Clyde for you.
Mephiles: Thanks Shadow.
Mephiles hung up the phone. By the time the twins were done eating it was 9:00. Mephiles cleaned up the mess that they made and waited for Shadow to come.
When Shadow did come, it was 10:00. "What took you so long?" asked Mephiles. Shadow said, "G.U.N. asked me 1000 questions on where I was going." Mephiles nodded, picked up Bonnie, and walked out the door.
