Chapter 7 - Caught in the Act
Fillmore and Ingrid made it to the shack. It was half consumed from the fire and slowly getting worse. Fillmore pulled out his walkie talkie.
"Tehama, it's Fillmore, we have a code red! The old, run-down house out behind the croquet field has caught fire. We believe Anza and Lily have gone in there to look for Danny. Ingrid and I are going to stay here and check it out. Call Folsom and get firefighters down here ASAP!"
"On it Fillmore, and be careful! I'll get them there as soon as I can." Tehama replied.
"Fillmore, we can't go in there. It's too dangerous! I want to help as much as you do but, we can't!" Ingrid warned him knowing he wouldn't listen anyway.
~ Inside the shack. ~
Upstairs Anza was out cold but lucky to be alive. Downstairs however, Danny and Chad were exchanging a few punches. Lily tried to break up the fight but, only got in the way. She kept yelling for them to stop when she remembered Anza was upstairs where the fire was.
She ran up the stairs and over to where he was lying after Chad had kicked him.
"Anza! . . . Anza! Please get up! You have to help me!" She gently shook him desperate for help when the door suddenly burst open. "Am I glad to see you guys! Anza's out cold and Danny and Chad are fighting and I can't get them to stop!"
Ingrid ran over to Anza and helped him up as he awoke. "Where are they Lily?"
"They are downstairs, there in that hole." She pointed it out to Fillmore and Ingrid.
Fillmore ran down the stairs and Ingrid helped Anza out of the old shack with Lily right behind her.
"Stay here with him and wait for the others, I'm going to help Fillmore. Tehama and Folsom are bringing some firefighters and should be here soon."
"Ok!" Lily said as she and Anza moved back from the burning shack.
~ Downstairs in the shack. ~
"What you did was wrong Chad, today and two years ago! Something had to be done! Did you really think the Safety Patrol was going to sit around and let a bunch of people get hurt?"
"No! What I did was to take control! Nobody listens to the Safety Patrol anymore. They need someone to look up to!" Chad said taking a step back preparing to throw another punch and hitting him square in the jaw.
"Well it's not you!" Fillmore said jumping down and grabbing Chad's arm before he could attack again. Then Ingrid came down and ran over to Danny.
"Are you okay?" She asked helping him up.
"I'm fine. Let's just get out of here quick!" He said as they made their way to the stairs. When they made it out they met up with Principle Folsom, Tehama, firefighters, and an EMT.
Principle Folsom saw Fillmore, Ingrid, Danny, and Chad come out of the shack.
"I should have known you were going to cause trouble again Mr. Willow! Come with me, and your sister, too. I'm going to call your mother."
Lily ran over to Danny first and hugged him.
"I'm so glad your okay! We'll talk later okay?" Danny gave Lily a nod and she ran to catch up with Principle Folsom.
The firefighters finished putting out the fire when what was left of the shack collapsed. They headed out to the front of the school where their truck was. The Safety Patrol was also out there.
Danny and Anza were at the ambulance and Tehama, Ingrid, and Fillmore were at the front doors of the school talking to Jr. Commissioner Vallejo.
"I overheard the firefighters talking. They said they find partials of a cigarette left lying next to an old, rusty can of lighter fluid. They said that's what caused the fire" Tehama said to the others.
"Yeah, and I bet all the wood around was like a big buffet." Vallejo said.
"What's going to happen to Chad?" Ingrid asked hoping something would be done so this wouldn't happen again.
Vallejo was with Folsom when she talked with Chad and his mother. He told them that Folsom was suspending him and that he had to get therapy. Once he was well again he would be able to come back to school.
The EMTs and firefighters had all left and the Safety Patrol was in their office. Danny was talking to Lily outside in the hallway.
"Principle Folsom decided to suspend Chad until he could get some help. In the mean time I talked to my mom. She wanted to take us out and move or home school us but, I talked her into letting me stay here." Lily was upset about the past week's events but, thankful that it all turned out okay.
"So, I'll still get to see you around, and in class too. Speaking of which, you need to get to class before you're late. I don't want to have to give you detention! I'll see you after school." They said their goodbyes and went on their way. Lily went to class and although Danny wanted some time to relax after that case, the Safety Patrol had another case to solve.
A couple weeks later the gang had just finished cracking another case and was at lunch except Ingrid and Fillmore. They already came back to headquarters to hang out using what little time they ever got between cases.
Ingrid stopped what she was doing at her desk and looked up at Fillmore.
"You guys said something a couple weeks ago, during the Chad case. Tehama said that he was suspended before. He bullied others a bunch? I also remember seeing on his file that he was expelled."
"Yeah, two years ago, before you came here. He was real bad then. It was just after I joined the Safety Patrol. Things weren't doing so good in his family, his dad committed suicide and it about drove him mad."
"What happened?" Ingrid was really interested in knowing how the Safety Patrol handled what sounded like the biggest case in X Middle School history!
"Well…" Fillmore began but was immediately interrupted when Vallejo walked into the office with his usual cup of hot cocoa.
"Hey! If you two are going to be back here early you need to be going through all that paperwork on your desks! Now, get started!" Vallejo said going into his office and slamming the door.
"Another time, Ingrid, maybe when Vallejo hasn't been yelled at by Principle Folsom." Fillmore and Ingrid both grabbed a stack of papers and began working on them, but Ingrid was too distracted, wondering what had happened two years ago with Chad Willow…
THE END!
