Chpt. 12

Kenny stared down at Alex's limp body in shame. He was losing what little control he had.
Kenny touched his lips, her's had been so soft and warm. He shook his head, now wasn't the time to think about that.
Kenny started up the stairs, wanting more than anything for her to feel the way he did, not just mentally but physically as well. No way in hell was he going to tell Stan or Kyle about this. Knowing them,
Kyle would probably whine about how he was the one who was supposed to kiss Alex first. Stan on the other hand, would try to kill him. Kenny looked back at the locked basement door; no way was she getting out. "Great, now I sound like a kidnapper", he thought to himself. he walked out the front door,
as he turned around to lock the door, Stan and Kyle walked up behind him. "Hey Kenny, where's Alex?" Kyle asked. Kenny startled, looked over his shoulder at him.
trying to keep his voice steady, he lied. "She went home a couple of minutes ago, you just missed her."
"Oh please Kenny, we know you're lying; we've been watching you this whole time." Stan growled. Kenny arched his eyebrows. That sounded kinda creepy, but then again, all of this is creepy.
"So you guys have finally resorted to stalking me? Geez, I know you're in love with me and everything; but don't you think you've gone a little to far?" Kenny asked sarcastically. Kyle punched him in the arm.
"Ouch, what the hell was that for?" He said. "Where's Alex, she didn't come out of the house at all?" Stan asked. "Do you guys really want to know the truth?" He asked them. They both nodded. Kenny sighed.
"Fine, to tell you the truth; I knocked her out and locked her in my basement." He mumbled. "You did what?" Kyle shouted. "Calm down, I didn't do anything! I want to keep her safe from Craig. If she goes to the movies with him,
then he'll try something with her!" He yelled back. Kyle muttered but backed off.
"What do you mean 'He'll try something with her'?" Stan asked. Kenny sighed, so much for keeping it a secret. "Creg knows about Alex, if she goes to the movies with him; then he'll try to gang up on her." He explained. "So you're saying that Creg is trying to reveal Alex's secret, but why?'" Kyle asked, finally calming down. Kenny sighed defeatedly. + "I don't know the answer to that question either, that's why I was trying to sneak up to his house. Try to find out what his plan is." He told them.
"I get it, you were going to change into Mysterion and snoop around." Stan said. "Exactly." Kenny replied. "Then why didn't you ask us to help you?" Kyle asked. "I don't know, I guess I just didn't think about it." He answered. "Fine, its alright. Right now we need to focus on protecting Alex, that's it; ok?" Stan said. "Stan's right, we've gotta protect her!" Kyle said. "Good, now I have to be able to trust you guys with this. One of you has to stay behind and guard Alex, who is it gonna be?" Kenny asked them.
"I'll do it!" Kyle said excitedly.
"Of couse you will..." Kenny started to say.
"Oh come on, I won't try anything with her." Kyle interrupted.
"Ugh, fine." Kenny mumbled. "Unless she tries anything with me." Kyle added mischievously. "Kyle!" Stan exclaimed. "What? I was just kidding, sort of." He smiled. Kenny glared at him.
"Ok Stan, I guess that means you're stuck with me; let's go." Kenny said. "We'll meet you back here in about two hours Kyle. Be waiting." He added.
"Gotcha, two hours." Kyle replied. "Ok, bye." Kenny said, setting off in a fast jog with Stan at his heels. Kyle turned towards the house with a mischievous grin.
"Oh boy, this is gonna be fun."
