Chapter 14
Stephanie immediately hit the call button and the nurse came running in. The medical woman wore a confused look on her face upon seeing that nothing about the above average hero's condition had changed.
"I need to speak to Dr. Franz. I think I have a way to bring Sportacus out of this." The pink-haired girl told her.
"I'll call him right away." The nurse promised. She then left the room and headed back to the nurses station. About ten minutes later, the doctor appeared.
"Nurse Kelly says you may have a way to help Sportacus. What is it?" He wondered.
"The last time he slipped into a sugar meltdown, apples brought him back but you said that you can't feed him orally so I figure that his vitamin intake needs to be increased. It's the vitamins inside the fruit and vegetables that give him the strength and power to be a hero." Stephanie explained.
"Well we can certainly try it. At this point, I'm willing to try anything. I'll have the nurses prep a solution." With that Dr. Franz left the room.
"Hang in there Sportacus. I love you." Stephanie leaned over and kissed his forehead. Now all that was left to do was wait to see what the nurses came up with.
Down in the waiting room, Stingy paced the floor. He had become more and more worried about Trixie. Her mother had been visiting the girl for quite some time. Pixel walked over to his friend and said,
"I know your nervous but if you don't stop pacing Ziggy is going to lose his lunch and no one wants to see that." This made Stingy chuckle.
"Now come on. We're best buds, I'm sure that Trixie will remember us." The Gizmo Guy's words were comforting but somehow Stingy wasn't so sure. Mayor Meanswell smiled at the show of friendship and wished that Stephanie would return soon. When the door to the waiting room opened, he looked up to see if it was his niece but instead it was Miss Busybody.
"Bessie!" He exclaimed.
"Oh Milford. I got here as soon as I secured the press releases and chased those vultures away. Also I've told them that Town Hall would be closed tomorrow due to the current situation. I have it set up so that Chief Dooright is handling any and all problems that should arise. His men are continuing to investigate the scene and try to find who did this, however the last time I checked with them they still didn't have any leads." His assistant filled him in.
"Efficient as always Bessie. I really appreciate everything you've done." Milford said.
"No problem. Is there any word yet?" She asked as she took his hand in hers. The Mayor then proceeded to fill her in with all that he knew.
The sound of the television could barely be heard above the snoring of LazyTown's resident scoundrel. It had been a long exhausting day of villainy and he was sure that the town's pathetic excuse for police detectives weren't going to find anything that tied him to it. Soon the TV station put on its late night programming, which proceeded to blast some sort of trumpeting noise. This woke Robbie from his slumber and caused him to fall out of his chair. He grumbled and rubbed his rear end as he stood up. Slowly he focused his eyes on the clock, which read one forty five in the morning. Grumbling some more he shut off his television set and crawled back into his chair. Grabbing his small blankie, he covered himself up and snuggled into his makeshift bed. Unfortunately he inhaled a fuzzy and he began to cough. After a few minutes of coughing and hacking, he gacked the fuzz-ball up and then tried to get back to sleep. Little did he know that those pathetic excuses for police detectives had found something of interest that would lead them right to him.
