Chapter
Twenty-one
The Nefarious Plan of Kitten and Fang
Kitten was tense. First Beast Boy came out of nowhere just when they were going to rob a bank. Then this blurry guy came out the same way Beast Boy did. Kitten lost it when she saw Beast Boy.
"Whoa!" shouted Beast Boy who quickly turned into a fly.
"Kitten," shouted Fang. "We've no time for this."
Kitten ignored him completely.
"Pretty girls are never the kind that listen," said a voice.
Fang turned spiting out some goo that would make people freeze. He missed the person that was behind him. How'd he miss? Fang felt a tap on his shoulder. Fang turned thinking that he'd be lucky and get the stupid guy.
WHAM!!!!
Fang found himself lying on his back. He looked up to see a grinning boy in tighties.
"Need a hand BB," shouted the guy.
Fang knocked the guy from under his feet. Leaped into the air and grabbed Kitten. Fang was grateful that he had extra pairs of legs; otherwise Kitten would've gotten away from him and start going back to attacking Beast Boy.
Kitten's cell phone started to ring. Kitten looked to see who was calling. It was Jinx. Kitten rolled her eyes. Now what did Jinx want this time? Fang made an unexpected move. Kitten accidently dropped the phone.
"My phone!" shouted Kitten.
A yellow and red blur caught the cell phone. Oh great, thought Fang. First, they get caught by those cruddy good guys and now Kitten lost her cell phone.
"Who was it that called?" asked Fang, praying that it wasn't Jinx.
"Um…it was Jinx," said Kitten.
"Wonderful," mumbled Fang. "She's going to kill us when she finds out what happened."
Kid Flash and BB…
Beast Boy punched the concrete wall. Fang and his girlfriend managed to escape, again.
"Man, just our luck," said BB.
"Speaking of luck," said Kid Flash holding a cell phone close to Beast Boy. "Guess who called them."
"Hi, this is Jinx. I'm calling to let you guys know that I'd like to have a meeting at our H.O. say about an hour. If you're not able to make it just give me a call."
Beast Boy's jaw dropped.
"That was Jinx! Man, this is bad!"
"I wonder what she meant by H.O.?"
"H.O.! Who cares, at least we know that Jinx, Kitten, and Fang have joined forces!"
"If they did join forces why aren't the Hive involved?" asked Kid Flash.
Beast Boy looked at Kid Flash for a long time. Kid Flash did have a point. Beast Boy nodded to let his new pal know that he acknowledged what Kid Flash said.
"So…? What are you going to do?" asked Beast Boy.
"I'm going to go to and see where this phone call came from," replied Kid Flash.
"Do you think we might get lucky this time? I mean…"
"Hey, take it easy BB," replied Kid Flash. "At least we've something that'll help us figure out where they're at."
Kitten and Fang…
Kitten and Fang found Brad locking up. Kitten grabbed Fang.
"What?" said Fang, almost close to yelling at her.
"I've an idea," said Kitten smiling wickedly.
Kitten whispered what he idea was going on in her head. Fang nodded.
"It just might work," said Fang.
Kid Flash and BB…
"Brad? Who's Brad?" asked BB.
"Well from the look on his records he used to be a Hive student," replied Kid Flash. "Hmm, I wonder…"
Kid Flash typed some words. A picture popped up to show that Brad was serving his time in jail.
"Do you think he's gone back to the villain side?"
"Not likely," replied Kid Flash. "I've met Brad before. He seemed as though he really wanted to change."
"What do you think we should do?"
"Wait until…"
Kitten's cell phone started to ring. Kid Flash grabbed it. Clears his throat and presses the green phone button.
"Hello," said Kid Flash attempting to sound like a girl.
"Kitten! Where the heck are you!" shouts Jinx.
Kid Flash held the cell phone away from his ear. Whoa, what country did she come from?
"Well? Aren't you going to say something?"
"The batteries died," replied Kid Flash in a girlish voice.
"They died! Didn't you like bothered to check on the batteries before you went out!"
"I forgot," replied Kid Flash smiling.
"Where are you? You near a store or something."
"Well, yeah, I'm looking at these fabulous shoes."
"Oh let me guess they're red," said Jinx sarcastically. "How many guys have you dated so far?"
"Dated?" asked Kid Flash, still using a girl voice.
"Don't tell me you forgot the deal we made. You know about whoever gets the most dates is automatically the most attractive. Or did looking at the "fabulous shoes" make you forget?"
So that's what they've been doing. Kid Flash grabbed some paper and started writing down the information.
"Kitten what're you doing?" asked Jinx.
"I'm writing the name of the store where these shoes are."
"Whatever," replied Jinx. "Are there other things you need to do before you forget about this asinine contest?"
"Well, I kind of forgot what H.O. stands for."
"H.O. means hide out you blockhead!" shouted Jinx.
Man, doesn't this girl's voice hurt after shouting so many times. Kid Flash was tempted to tell her to stop shouting, but thought better of it.
"You don't need to shout. And you don't need to be so mean," said Kid Flash giving Beast Boy the thumps up.
"Oh no?" replied Jinx her voice really cold. "While you were busy being asinine I was watching the news. Those morons are piecing the puzzle together."
"What do you mean by these morons?"
"You know what I mean! These morons were the ones that attacked you. I'm watching the news."
"Oh, well BB and Kid Flash attacked us."
"BB?" asked Jinx.
Oh crap. He slipped. He just gave her some valuable information. How could he have done that?
"I heard Kid Flash call Beast Boy BB."
"Do you know how stupid you sound!" shouted Jinx.
"Will you stop shouting my ears are ringing now," replied Kid Flash.
"You're ears won't be the only problem you'll have. If you're not at the H.O. by eight this contest is over. Do you understand."
Kid Flash had to do something quickly. He had to figure out where the hide out was at.
"At Brad's place right?" asked Kid Flash.
"Brad? Who's Brad?" asked Jinx.
Kid Flash felt disappointed. He wasn't right. But at least Brad wasn't involved.
"Kid Flash what's going on?" asked Beast Boy.
"Shh," replied Kid Flash waving his hand telling him to be quiet.
"Who was that?" asked Jinx.
"Oh, it was my boyfriend Fang," replied Kid Flash. "You know how people sound funny on the phone and what not."
"Right, and I'm the princess of some undiscovered island," retorted Jinx. "Kitten, I've changed my mind. Our meeting isn't going to be at the H.O. I'll call you in about forty-five minutes and tell you where we'll meet. And be sure to take some medicine you sound congested."
"Okay, as long as it isn't far away."
"Oh don't worry," replied Jinx. "It won't be far away."
Jinx hung up. Man, it's no wonder Jinx was the leader of the Hive group.
"Was that her father? Or someone else?"
"It was Jinx," replied Kid Flash. "I'm starting to see why she was the leader. And man, she's got good lungs."
"Man, sorry I forgot to tell you that Cy said that she can be pretty loud when she wants to be."
"You know what's interesting?" said Kid Flash. "Jinx mentioned something about a contest. I don't think Kitten and Jinx are in alliance. I think they're having a contest against each other."
"What kind of contest?" asked Beast Boy.
"A dating contest," replied Kid Flash. "Jinx doesn't sound comfortable staying around for very long."
"So did you fool her? I mean with you sounding like a girl."
"Ha, ha," replied Kid Flash. "About forty-five minutes Jinx will give Kitten a call and tell her where the meeting is at."
"Great!" said Beast Boy. "Finally we're on a hot trail."
"I wouldn't have my hopes up. I kind of called you by your nickname on the phone."
"Jinx isn't exactly that bright. She's vicious but not very sharp," replied Beast boy.
"Flash once told me that you never underestimate your opponents."
Kitten and Fang…
Kitten hung up on the phone. She walked up to Fang with a beaming smile.
"Did it work?" asked Fang.
"You should've heard him on the phone," said Kitten. "Brad fell for it. He really thought that I Dr. Black was going to turn him in for hiding the criminals Jinx and us. He's going to pay all the money he has."
"What about your cell phone?"
"Oh, Jinx will be caught sooner or later. Those policemen always have a way at finding people on the cell."
"So how're things going to work?"
"First," said Kitten. "We'll blackmail Brad into paying him on a certain day. Second, you make sure to keep Jinx busy while Brad gives all the money he has to a certain area. Thirdly, once Jinx proclaims the contest to be over we'll be gone."
"How do you know if Jinx is going to end the contest?"
"That's just it," replied Kitten. "You make Jinx so mad that she'll have to lose her temper and end the stupid contest."
"But you'll lose to her," said Fang, who later regret saying it.
Kitten's face turned blank. Fang expected her to lose her temper.
"Crap, I didn't think about that."
Fang shook his head. That was obvious. Kitten's face turned red again.
"When is Brad going to deliver the money?" asked Brad.
"About three days," replied Kitten.
"That should give up plenty of time," replied Fang relieved. "The important thing is that Jinx doesn't find out what's going on."
Jinx…
"Stupid luck," muttered Jinx as she entered Brad's place at the back. "Being dressed like a blonde and acting like one is so out."
Jinx pulled out a pad and crossed out "dump blonde." She looked at the next line. Well, she could go as Sophie again and see what'll happen. Then she could go as a "smart blonde."
"Man, even when I try not to be I'm being so stereotype of other people. Zero dates today," said Jinx. "I wonder what's…its quiet…please don't let the police figure out what'd just happened."
Jinx raced to the office and found Brad sitting there pale. Oh no…something has happened. Something bad.
Kid Flash and Beast Boy…
Beast Boy kept looking at Kitten's cell phone. Twenty minutes since Jinx called. Why would it take forty-five minutes just to give a call and tell where the meeting was at? Well, they don't know the city as well as Kid Flash so that might be one of the reasons. Beast Boy's guts kept telling him that Jinx suspected that something was up.
"You okay buddy?" asked Kid Flash.
"I think Jinx knows that you're not Kitten," replied Beast Boy. "Did you call Robin?"
"Yeah, I did. He didn't believe me when I said that Kitten and Jinx were having a dating contest."
"Well, you can't blame the guy. One time Killer Moth had Robin take Kitten to a prom. For her it wound up as a disaster. She said that she'd get him for it."
"What about Jinx? What do you know about her?"
"Cy says that Jinx is a lot smarter than we think. She was in a few hard classes with him. But I really don't believe him. I mean he's my buddy but Jinx doesn't act smart."
"Hmm, It's been twenty-five since Jinx called."
"Man, it feels like times going real slow," said Beast Boy.
"I'm gonna check the city to see if there's any trouble."
"Wait!" shouted Beast Boy.
Kid Flash was gone. Beast Boy looked at the cell phone.
"Oh man, I'm not even good at sounding like a girl."
"Your not," said Kid Flash.
Beast Boy screamed, jumped in mid air and turned into a fly. Kid Flash was leaning against the table laughing.
"Sorry 'bout that," said Kid Flash trying to stop laughing but couldn't.
Beast Boy changed back into his human form.
"Dude," said Beast Boy. "That wasn't funny."
"Yeah that's why I'm still laughing," replied Kid Flash.
Some music started playing. Beast Boy looked at his cell phone. Unknown.
"Uh…hello?" said Beast Boy.
"Um, hey Garfield, how're things at your end?" asked a familiar voice.
"Sophie! I'm great. You?"
"I'm good. Listen, I wanted to apologize for my behavior at the pizza place. It wasn't necessary. I usually have my temper in check."
"Hey, I wanted to punch Susan too. But you know I didn't want to look like a jerk."
"Can't say I blame you. I also wanted to make it up to you," said Jinx.
"Well, I'm afraid I'm going to be over at my uncle's place. But you know if you really want to make up for what you did at the behavior-I mean restaurant you could do me a favor."
"As long as it isn't anything illegal or immoral I'm all for it," replied Jinx.
"Just one question, how come your phone number came up as Unknown?"
"I left my cell at my aunt's place. I'm using a street phone. Man, they're so expensive. It's no wonder they're disappearing. So what's this big favor you want me to do?"
"Well, you wouldn't mind being Wally's girlfriend for a while would you? You see his sister told a little fib to his mom about him having so many girlfriends."
"Why that little skunk," replied Jinx. "If it means being able to get Susan in trouble for misbehavior I'm in for it. If it's okay with Wally."
"Awesome!" said Beast Boy. "I mean that's great."
"Is Wally there?"
Beast Boy looked over at Kid Flash. Kid Flash nodded with a huge smile on his face.
"Yep, we're kind of hanging out. You know as buddies."
"I kind of figured that," replied Jinx/Sophie.
"Well here he is," said Beast Boy.
Beast Boy handed Kid Flash his cell phone.
"Hey, Sophie. Sounds like you want to get my sister in trouble."
"I have a feeling we're both on the same side," replied Jinx. "So when is this little battle, I mean, date going to take place."
Kid Flash chuckled.
"Well, how does tomorrow sound."
"How about the day after tomorrow. I promised a friend of mine that I'd give help her decorate for her little sister's birthday party."
"Hey, that's cool. So what're you doing now? I mean before you called?"
"I was reading Frankenstein. It's not as scary as I thought it'd be. I'm only reading it 'cause I'm kind of obsess over history."
"I'm only good with history if it has action in it."
"In other words History isn't your strong subject."
"Hey, no fair," said Kid Flash. "You twisted my words."
"OMG," replied Jinx. "Well, gotta go. Gotta make some phone calls for the birthday guests. See you later?"
"Sure thing," replied Kid Flash.
"Great, Bye," said Jinx.
Kid Flash hung up and handed the phone back to Beast Boy.
"It's all settled," said Kid Flash.
"Awesome," said Beast Boy. "We've only fifteen minutes left."
Kid Flash shook his head.
"Waiting was never my strong point."
"Well, how about playing some card games?"
"Speaking of card games," replied Kid Flash who sped away, then came back holding a container of cards. "Want to play Uno?"
"Sure," said Beast Boy.
Brad…
"What happen Brad?" asked Jinx sitting down.
"Someone knows that I'm housing you guys," said Brad head between his knees.
"Who called?" asked Jinx.
"Some guy under the name Dr. Black."
"Too common," said Jinx. "Go on."
"He said that if I didn't pay sum amount of money he was going to rat on me."
Jinx placed her head on her knuckles. She looked at him for a while. She then closed her eyes trying to think of something that was logical to how Brad's little secret got out. She managed to cover him when she found out that Kitten lost her cell phone and the cruddy Titans had it. She was thinking of several ways to get the Titans to think that they were some miles away when they weren't. But how? And who was Dr. Black?
"Were Kitten and Fang here when the call arrived?"
"No," replied Brad. "Why? Do you think they're behind this?"
"I don't know," replied Jinx. "Did the person mention what time they'd call?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Hmm," said Jinx.
"Don't tell me you've a date tomorrow."
"Thankfully it's in the evening," replied Jinx. "I'll stay here and answer the phone."
"But that'll tell them…"
"I'm just going to claim to be your landlady and see what happens."
"Well, okay," said Brad, who knew that arguing with Jinx wasn't going to do much good. "Hey, what about the Titans? You've got three minutes to call them."
"I'll deal with it now," replied Jinx. "What's the farthest place from here?"
"Motel five on Mulberry Road," answered Brad. "That's about forty miles away from here. Why?"
"I think the Titans managed to get a hold on Kitten's cell phone," replied Jinx. "What's next to Motel Five?"
"Well, there's a restaurant. It's called Providence something."
"That should be just fine," replied Jinx. "At least Providence should be fine."
Jinx started dialing the number. Brad looked at her for a long time.
"How is it that you can remain calm under these situations?"
"With the Hive boys being so dramatic, you kind of get used to being the one above things…sometimes."
Kid Flash and Beast Boy…
The cell phone started ringing. Kid Flash using his super powers reached the phone before Beast Boy did.
"Hello," said Kid Flash using his girlish voice.
"Kitten, I've decided a nice place for us to visit at," said Jinx.
Wow, thought Kid Flash, she sounds really hot when she's calm.
"Where at?" asked Kid Flash.
"You know that Motel that's some blocks away from this restaurant called Providence something…I don't remember the rest but anyways the motel is called Motel Five on Mulberry Road. Think you can make it there around eight?"
"Sure, but why is it so far away?"
"Uh, Kitten it's only a few blocks from the H.O. or is it that you've gone further away than intentioned?"
"Uh…yes that's what happened," replied Kid Flash. "But it won't be a problem getting there. After all I've Fang with me."
"Good," replied Jinx. "See you there. And be careful we wouldn't want the Titans to figure out what we're doing now would we?"
"See you later," replied Kid Flash.
"Au revoir," said Jinx.
Man, if Jinx wasn't a villain he would've asked her out right on the spot. He looked over at Beast Boy.
"Jinx will be meeting us at Motel Five around eight. Don't worry she told us the address it was on."
Beast Boy, "I swear this is getting easy. Why are you looking it up on the computer?"
"Just want to be sure it's the place Kitten and Fang are supposed to meet at," replied Kid Flash.
Kid Flash nodded. Turned to Beast Boy.
"C'mon let's go," said Kid Flash. "I like getting to things a little early."
Both boys left excited that they would finally catch one of the villains.
Brad…
Jinx was snickering.
"Man, those guys are so gullible," said Jinx. "That was so easy. Now to take care of Dr. Black."
Brad was shaking his head in amazement. She wasn't good at lying but when it came to telling stories she'd somehow reach a point where he almost thought she believed the stories she was telling. At least, that's what Brad always assumed.
"You amaze me sometimes."
"Oh yes, it'll be so sweet."
"But what're we going to say?"
"Don't you mean, what am I going to say while on the phone?"
"You're too cocky for your own good."
Jinx smiled. She walked over to the phone. But Jinx had to refrain from calling on Kitten's cell phone and saying something like, "Ha, I knew you'd fall for it."
"Well, tomorrow then. Excuse me I've some clothing to choose for some of my dates."
"Thanks Jinx," said Brad.
"No problem," said Jinx, clearly in a good mood. "See you tomorrow."
Kitten and Fang…
Fang shook his head. His rubbed his knuckles. What if Jinx found out what they were doing? How'd she react to the whole scenario? Would she blow up and try to hunt them down? He had heard tales of Jinx hunting down people who messed with her friends or people she somewhat liked. He looked over to see if Kitten was still in plain sight.
She was. He sighed in relief. This was stupid, getting scared of a gray-skinned girl with freakishly abnormal colored hair. What was the world coming to?
"Why did Kitten have to lose her temper with Jinx?" muttered Fang.
Kitten walked over to him. She looked oblivious to everything that was going on around her. For the most part it was true. The thing was that he knew that Jinx was…what was the word that people used…suspicious?
"Hey, Fang what's wrong?" asked Kitten.
"Well, as much as I hate saying this…you still need to get some dates. Otherwise Jinx will think we're the ones phoning Brad about ratting on him."
"Oh," said Kitten. "Well…where should we meet?"
"Near the phone area?" asked Fang.
"Sure," replied Kitten.
Fang was relieved that he was good at telling fibs. He waited until Kitten blended with the crowd. Then he vanished up in the roof tops careful that no one else saw him.
Kid Flash and Beast Boy…
"Why did it have to be at eight," muttered Beast Boy. "Its hours away. What do you think Jinx is up to?"
"I really don't know," replied Kid Flash. "C'mon, might as well do something that's fun for a while."
"Why?" asked Beast Boy.
"Sometimes, a superhero needs a break here and there."
"That's true," replied Beast Boy. "Hey, there's Sophie."
Kid Flash looked over to see a girl with partially dyed pink hair and brown hair. He smiled to see that this time she wasn't dressed in all black clothing. At least she was dressed moderately nice.
"I'll be right back," said Kid Flash.
He sped off and changed into his average everyday clothing. Okay…here goes. Kid Flash walked around pretending not to notice Sophie.
"Wally?"
Kid Flash turned trying to look surprised. Sophie was looking at him.
"If it isn't witches, it's the devil," said Sophie walking up to him. "How're things going with you?"
"Pretty good," replied Kid Flash. "Where'd that saying about witches and devils come from?"
"Oh," replied Sophie, rubbing the back of her neck. "I got that from my grandmother. She always had interesting sayings."
"What kind of sayings?"
"Well…let's see she once said that I was a cool cat, something like that. And she and I were talking about…crap, I lost my train of thought," said Sophie/ Jinx. "I think it had something to do with dead ducks…oh well it'll come to me later."
"So…anything you're doing this afternoon?"
"Besides looking for book stores and some store with hair dye nothing much," replied Sophie.
"What color are you going to dye your hair?"
"I was thinking of blue or grayish blue color."
"Why blue?"
"I believe blue means innocent amongst us English speakers. 'Course I've been wrong before."
"And what does pink mean?"
"Heck should I know, pink isn't exactly my favorite color."
"Then why'd you dye your hair pink?"
"I lost a bet to some of my girlfriends," replied Sophie. "It was awful when those so-called friends of mine were dying my hair pink."
Kid Flash couldn't help laughing. Sophie was a funny girl. He saw a gleam of mischief in her eye when she looked at him.
"I thought you said you were going to help a friend of yours with her little sister's birthday party."
"She called me and said that everything was under control," replied Sophie.
His cell phone started ringing.
"Hold on," said Kid Flash. "Hello."
"Um…I hate to interrupt but police are chasing after Fang," said Beast Boy.
"Great," said Kid Flash. "Hold on."
Kid Flash placed a hand over the phone.
"Um…something came up…and…"
"Did your sister do something she wasn't supposed to do?"
"Something like that?" replied Kid Flash.
"Go get her," said Sophie. "I'll see you later…"
Sophie's cell phone started to ring.
"Hello…oh hey…are you serious? I know but I'm kind of busy…uh-huh…Okay…but why? On my way…later."
"Who was that?" asked Kid Flash, wondering why Sophie looked irked.
"Some blockhead tried selling some of my paintings. Luckily my friend…a different friend stopped them. They need me to come to see if the paintings really belong to me."
"Ouch," said Kid Flash. "That doesn't sound like fun."
"You got that right," said Sophie. "Later, Wally."
Brad…
"Look I haven't the money yet," said Brad. "You said that you'd call in the morning."
Jinx came in. Brad looked at her. He was as pale as a sheet of paper. Jinx walked over to him.
"Tell Dr. Black that you'll have the money the day after tomorrow," said Jinx her voice really calm.
Brad did what he was told. He tried to sound calm.
"No," replied Brad. "I'm not going to tolerate this. I don't have these villains at my place."
Jinx pressed a button to have "Dr. Black" on the speaker.
"Oh yes you do," said a dark voice.
Brad saw Jinx's eyes narrow at concentrating on her thoughts wondering who Dr. Black really was. Jinx pressed the button again. Then placed her laptop next to the phone, pulled out a cord and plugged it into the phone. Brad's mouth dropped. Where'd she learn to track people down?
Jinx then pressed the same button to put the person on speaker.
"I know you have them cause you're silent."
Jinx pulled out some pieces of paper and wrote down what he should say.
"Oh? You do?" said Brad.
Brad kept thinking to himself, this is so stupid. Obviously someone else knows about the whole thing. He looked at the next question.
"You got any proof?" asked Brad.
"I've noticed some strange girls entering into your place. I assume they're Kitten and Jinx."
"How many strange girls?" asked Brad, without looking at the paper.
There was silence on the phone. Jinx mouthed, "keep asking."
"Look, if you know anything about me, you'd know that I've parties and strangers always come to my parties. Why on earth would these villains, Kitten and Jinx come here?"
"I just know!" snapped the voice.
Brad looked at Jinx. Jinx had a satisfied smile. She looked up at him and gestured for him to keep asking the questions. Obviously she figured out this whole puzzle.
"I've even seen Kitten's boyfriend come to your place," said the voice.
"He tried stealing from me," said Brad, acting as though he didn't like the idea. "Man, that guy was scary. He looked like a freak of nature. I mean can you believe that he got a girlfriend looking like some mega-spider. That was so creepy."
"Hey! You don't…"
Jinx gave Brad the thumps up. Obviously she managed to find where the phone call came from.
"I don't what?" asked Brad.
"Listen, you better have the money ready or else."
The person hung up. Brad leaned over to Jinx.
"Do you know what to do?"
"Yes," replied Jinx. "I know for a fact that they'll call tomorrow."
"Why would Kitten and Fang do that?"
"Obviously they were thinking of annoying the heck…They think that I'll cancel the bet and while I cancel it they were going to rob you…I gotta go."
"Where are you going?" asked Brad.
"Away from here before Fang comes," replied Jinx.
Kitten and Fang…
Fang knew that Jinx was at Brad's place. He waited patiently. He thought that once Jinx was captured and the police figured out that Brad was the person who gave housed them he'd serve his time in jail. He kept rubbing his hands pleased. It wasn't anything personal against Brad. It was just that he was another guy that Kitten might dump him over. Jinx walked out of the place. He didn't notice that she looked like her somewhat average self.
Fang took a deep breath. Then he spat out that goo that would make people freeze. He smiled thinking that everything was going to go according to plan. Jinx dodged the goo. Leaped, spun around and sent bad luck waves right at him. He was knocked off his feet. Jinx raced away.
Fang rubbed his head. How'd she know? He shook his head. It didn't matter. As long as Kitten was away from Jinx, all he had to do was capture her and call the police. Easy as cake. He chased after Jinx.
Jinx leaped onto a car. Leaped onto one of the buildings. Fang spat some more goo. To his dismay he'd missed again and again. Jinx leaped. Vanished.
Fang looked around. Fear overcame him. What if she went looking for Kitten? He looked elsewhere but couldn't see her. He checked the whole place. Every crack and corner. But still he didn't find her. He expected Jinx to suddenly jump out and attack him. Nothing. All was dead silence. He had a gut-sinking feeling. He raced to where he and Kitten had agreed to meet.
He reached to where Kitten was at. Kitten looked flushed in the face.
"What's wrong?" asked Fang.
"I think I slipped," said Kitten. "I lost my temper when Brad started saying what a freak you were."
"Was Jinx there?"
"I don't think so," replied Kitten. "I didn't hear her in the background."
"Thank heavens," said Fang relieved. "At least she doesn't know what our plans have been."
"Did you take care of Jinx?"
"No," replied Fang, he didn't dare mention that Jinx was actually at Brad's place. "I lost her somehow."
"What!" shouted Kitten.
Fang and Kitten froze at hearing a cold chuckle. They looked behind them to see Jinx leaning on one of the poles.
"Did you honestly think I was that stupid?" asked Jinx her voice cold.
Fang spat goo in her direction. Jinx sent bad luck waves at the goo. Quickly like a blur of motion she dove behind a trash can. The rest of the goo landed on Fang and Kitten. Kitten tried moving but couldn't. Jinx looked up, still smiling. She walked over to the two frozen villains.
"Why do you think I went to Hive academy?" said Jinx her voice becoming icier by the second.
Jinx then looked at Kitten. Her smile widens.
"We're going to have so much fun Kitten," said Jinx. "Let's see how long it'll take for the police to come and pick your boyfriend up."
Jinx dragged Kitten away. Fang tried moving but couldn't. By the time Jinx and Kitten were gone the police came and found Fang frozen on the spot. They hauled him off. Kitten couldn't make a sound.
Jinx put her upright. Kitten had several thoughts in her mind. Was Jinx going to kill her? She wasn't going to cry or beg. She heard Jinx make some movements put couldn't tell what Jinx was doing.
"Night Kitten," said Jinx.
Then there was darkness.
