They walked down the long dark hall and looked inside each room to find Coach Schmidt. Finally, they saw a light at the end of the hall way. Both saw Coach Schmidt stand in front of huge plant in the corner and he was talking to it. "Geoffrey, what are you doing here?" Coach Schmidt asked as he began to lose his temper.
"I came to tell you that a $5,000 reward is available to anyone who can give the police information to where Gunther Schmidt is hiding," Tommy answered as he did everything he could to keep from laughing.
"I bet this will end of in Reader's Digest," Kimberly whispered in Tommy's ear. "There is a section about people who didn't have any common sense and they did a crime."
Coach Schmidt walked over and took a seat in his rolling car, but he missed it and fell in the floor. "I'm sorry Geoffrey, I'm sick today and I've been running into walls a lot."
"Maybe you need to get your eyes test," Kimberly remarked as she helped Coach Schmidt up and he sat in the car. "I'm sure you need glasses."
"Who is this girl?" Coach Schmidt asked when he stared at the computer. "Geoffrey, do you have a girl friend?"
"Yes, this is my girlfriend," Tommy answered as he wrapped his arm around Kimberly. "She was the one that told me about the $5000 reward."
"Geoffrey, would you care to dial the number for me?" Coach Schmidt asked as he picked up a banana and held it up to his ear.
"Sure, Gunther," Tommy answered as he began to snicker. He dialed the police's number and handed Coach Schmidt the phone. "Please be sure to say that he has the two missing from Angel Grove as prisoners inside. There is a truck parked outside by the building."
"My name is Gunther, I'm calling on behalf of a $5000 reward regarding Gunther Schmidt," Coach Schmidt stated. "He is in the house that is in the Angel Grove woods. There is a truck parked outside the building. He also has the two missing teens from Angel Grove tied up inside." Coach Schmidt hung up the phone and smiled.
"Why don't you get sleep," Tommy suggested as he helped Coach Schmidt back in bed. "You'll feel better in the morning." After Coach Schmidt was in bed, Tommy and Kimberly left the room.
"Let's go back to bed," Kimberly whispered while she was rubbing her eyes. Both locked hands and walked down to the basement. Tommy closed the door behind them and they crawled back in bed.
"Wake up!"
Kimberly and Tommy sat up and noticed Coach Schmidt was standing in front of them. "What are you doing down here?" Tommy questioned when he saw Coach Schmidt's red angry face.
"I had a horrible dream last night," Coach Schmidt yelled. "Two people came into this house and called the police on me. Then they tied me up and put me in the closet."
"It was just a dream," Kimberly lied while she was trying to keep a straight face. "That's not going to happen. No one knows where we are."
"Both of you upstairs now!" Kimberly and Tommy locked hands and walked up the stairs and Coach Schmidt followed them. "Sit down!"
They quickly sat down on the floor and Tommy lifted Kimberly into his lap and held her tightly. Coach Schmidt grabbed a rope and threw a lasso around Tommy and Kimberly. As Coach Schmidt pulled the lasso tight, both could feel the rope cutting into their bare skin. He began to wrap the rope around Kimberly and Tommy. "What are you going to do to us?" Kimberly asked as she could feel Tommy struggling to get free.
"I am enjoying my victory of holding you two hostages for two months," Coach Schmidt answered with a smile on his face. "I'm sure everyone has given up on trying to find you."
"YOU'RE WRONG!" Tommy hollered as he looked at Coach Schmidt with hate. The police should've been there by now. But, where were they? Was it possible that they thought Coach Schmidt's call was just a prank? Or was it possible that they searched for hours and couldn't find Coach Schmidt's hide out? "WE WILL EVENTUALLY BE RESCUED!"
"No one knows where you are," Coach Schmidt informed him. "Face, it Tommy, you've failed at trying to get your girlfriend away from me. All you did was get caught too. You are so stupid. You should have just minded your own business and let me train her for the Pan Global Games."
"IF I DID THAT I WOULD HAVE LOST HER! WHEN SHE WAS TRAINNING UNDER YOU, IT WAS RUINING HER HEALTH!"
"Tommy, if you have any common sense, you'll shut up!"
"IF SHE MADE IT TO THE PAN GLOBAL GAMES, SHE WOULD'VE LOST HER TROPHY AND MEDALS BECAUSE OF YOUR CHEAT METHODS! I HEARD YOU SAY THAT IT HAPPENED TO SOME OF THE OTHER ATHLETES YOU TRAINNED!"
"Tommy, I'm going to warn you one last time to stop trying to argue with me!" Coach Schmidt warned as he walked over to a desk.
"Please, quit yelling at him," Kimberly begged in a worried tone. "You don't want to get him mad."
"Even your girlfriend thinks you are stupid and you failed her."
"Coach Schmidt, he hasn't failed me."
"Kimberly, how can you be so stupid?" Coach Schmidt gasped as soon he heard her assure Tommy. "I thought you were smarter than that. He was just trying to hold you back from your athletic dream."
"He was protecting from being hurt because he didn't want me to lose any of my medals because of your cheating methods," Kimberly smirked when she saw Coach Schmidt's face turn red from frustration. "And he didn't want me in bad health due to losing weight and not eating."
"SHE KNOWS THAT YOU ARE A CROOK AND WHAT CRIMES YOU HAVE COMMITTED!" Tommy stated as a big grin appeared on his face.
Before Coach Schmidt could do anything, the door was kicked open. Bulk and Skull, Lt. Stone, and the other police officers walked in. "How dumb can you be!?" Bulk laughed. "You actually called the police on yourself!" He pulled Coach Schmidt's hands behind his back and arrested him.
"I didn't call the police!" Coach Schmidt yelled with a face full of rage.
"Actually, you did," Tommy confirmed as he began to laugh. "You called them while you were drunk."
"Take him away," Lt. Stone ordered as the TV reporters came in and was filming Coach Schmidt being taken off to jail. "You've got a lot of jail time ahead of you."
Two Months Later
Tommy worked his way through the crowd of people to his girlfriend. A bouquet of bright pink roses was in his hand. "Congratulations, Beautiful!" he praised as he wrapped his arms around her neck. "I knew you'd help the team defeat Stone Canyon." He handed her the pink roses.
"Tommy, did you ask her yet?" James asked as he took a picture of Tommy kissing her.
"Ask me what?" Kimberly questioned as she sniffed the pink roses.
"Dad won some tickets to the California Disneyland Resort this summer," Tommy explained as she watched Kimberly's eyes light up. "And we have an extra ticket. I'd love for you to come with us."
"I'd love to go!" she gasped as she kissed Tommy.
