Chapter 9
What happened next could only be described as amazing. It wasn't until Mrs. Walton was lying on the ground unconscious and Sportacus had intervened, that everyone realized who had been the perpetrator.
"Remind me not to piss Stingy off." Pixel whispered to Robbie.
"Same here." The ex-villain said letting out a low whistle.
"Guess we didn't need the trap huh?" Ziggy shrugged as Sportacus put the seething Stingy back down. The boy went to hit the woman again and the above average hero picked him back up.
"Good news is that Trixie will be ok but she'll probably have a nasty headache when she wakes up. As for Mrs. Walton…" Stephanie trailed off.
"We'll be lucky if she isn't in a coma." Robbie shook his head looking at the result of the vicious attack on the old woman.
"All right everyone. We need to calm down. Get IAC back to Pixel's, call Chief Dooright, and somebody get a doctor. We'll all meet back at the Mayor's house." Sportacus took command. Quickly, Pixel and Robbie loaded IAC back onto the dolly and headed for the Gizmo Guy's house. Ziggy grabbed his cell phone and called the Chief while Stephanie got her phone out and called LazyTown's local physician.
"Promise me you'll not kick or punch Mrs. Walton again and I'll put you down." Sportacus said to Stingy. The miser gave him a look but nodded. He slowly put him down and went over to Stephanie.
"Doc Monroe says to get both of them to his office and he'll take a look at them." She said.
"Good. I'll take Walton. You and Stingy get Trixie." The blue suited hero smiled.
"You got it. What about Ziggy?" The pink one asked.
"Chief Dooright is going to take Mrs. Walton into custody. Where should I tell him to meet us?" The candy loving kid wondered before Stephanie's question could be answered.
"Doc Monroe's. Ziggy go to the Mayor's house and update him on the situation. Tell him we're having a meeting very shortly." Sportacus told him.
"You got it." Ziggy nodded and finished his conversation. After that the group split up. In no time, Doctor Monroe was ushering the bunch that had headed to his office in.
"Oh my. Quiet the excitement tonight." The elderly man said.
"Sorry to disturb you Doc." Sportacus gave a slight smile as he laid Mrs. Walton down on the nearby couch and then helped Stingy and Stephanie with Trixie.
"An emergency is an emergency." The good-natured man smiled.
"Can you look at Trixie?" Stingy was anxious.
"Of course my dear boy. Are we expecting more company?" Doctor Monroe asked upon seeing the police cars outside.
"They're taking Mrs. Walton into custody. She's a spy." Sportacus explained. A look of disbelief crossed the doctor's face.
"It's a long story." Stephanie smiled.
"I bet." Chief Dooright said from the doorway. Sportacus nodded and extended a hand to the head of the police department. The Chief shook it and then said,
"Go on. I have things from here."
"Thanks Chief." The above average hero nodded and he and Stephanie headed for the door.
"Aren't you coming Stingy?" The pink one asked when the miser didn't follow.
"I… uh…" he only stuttered.
"No worries son. Trixie is in good hands. Run along." Doc Monroe reassured him. With that Stingy gave a nod and headed out after his friends. Through all the commotion no one had seemed to notice that Sportacus' crystal had never gone off.
