Chapter 11

Sportacus lie awake in bed staring up at the ceiling. It was late in the morning for him and he had no desire to get out of bed. The above average hero looked over at Stephanie who, surprisingly, was still asleep.

Letting out a big sigh, Sportacus got up. The plan he had come up with last night would hopefully draw the mobsters out but first he had to run it by Captain Dogooder. After all he would be the main focus.

"Worried?" Stephanie wondered as she rolled over toward the edge of the bed.

"Did I wake you?" He asked.

"No, besides its time to get out of bed anyway. But you are worried aren't you?" She inquired again.

"A little. I mean, how am I supposed to convince Captain Dogooder to go through with it?" Sportacus seemed just more than a little nervous.

"I'm sure you'll find a way. I mean there always is one." Stephanie smiled. She got up and came over to him. Her long pink nightgown didn't leave much to the imagination. Sportacus' eyes traced her body. He pulled her close and looked into her dark brown eyes. Her face lit up and he pressed his lips against hers. Even after all these years, she still tasted like strawberries. Separating, they put their foreheads together and smiled.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you, too. Good luck today. I'll keep Joshua and Samantha busy." Stephanie promised. Sportacus kissed her again and then he went into the bathroom. Today would indeed be a big day.

Everyone gathered around the podium in LazyTown Square. Mayor Meanswell stood up there trying to settle them down. The eight-five year old man just wanted them to be quiet so Captain Dogooder could hold his conference. Milford was glad that his replacement would be coming after next week's emergency election. Finally, the crowd settled down as the Police Chief stepped forward.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! As you are all aware, the Bank of LazyTown has been robbed. We are stepping up our police work but we need your help. Anyone who has any information about the robbery should call the Police station." Captain Dogooder explained.

As the Police Chief continued to talk to the crowd, Robbie sat on a tree branch at the edge of the square. He lined up his target and took careful aim. There was only one shot at this. If he missed, it would be all over.

Amanda sat at home watching the TV. She was incredibly nervous. The phone rang and she practically jumped out of her skin. Quickly, she picked it up.

"Just thought I'd tell you one thing." It was Stephanie.

"What?" She asked.

"Consociatus nos toleratus. (United we stand)." Was all her friend said before hanging up. Amanda sighed. She hoped that her friend was right.

Robbie could feel the sweat beading up on his palms as realigned with the target. Only one thing crossed his mind as he pulled the trigger. Fire in the hole.
