One Week Later
Beep! Beep!
Perry's eyes popped open from his nap under the tree later in the afternoon, and he looked down at his watch. It showed that the search of the Tri-State Area was done and there were results pending down in his lair. He looked around the backyard for the boys, but remembered they went inside with their mom for a snack after they finished cleaning up their latest project. He debated internally for a moment about going to get them, but decided just to show them after they finish their snacks. He accessed his secret tree trunk entrance and slid down to his chair, then pulled up the search results on the computer. He looked over each of the addresses, there were fifteen of them, and started digging deeper into them. After about an hour and a half, he had eliminated eight of them, leaving the seven to be looked at personally, so he printed it out and put out a call to Pinky with his video watch.
"Yeah, Perry?" Pinky answered a few seconds later.
"Hey," Perry said. "The results came in on the coordinates."
"Oh, good," Pinky said, then looked behind him. "Hold on, Perry. Let me go into Isabella's room for some privacy."
"Okay," Perry said.
After a minute, Pinky reappeared on the screen. "Sorry, I was with Isabella in the living room."
"It's fine," Perry said, smiling.
"So, anyways, you got results?" Pinky said, nodding slowly. "How many?"
"Well, initially, fifteen, but I cut it down to seven," Perry said.
"Why?" Pinky asked.
"I did a more in depth search on each of the addresses and crossed off the ones that didn't sound right," Perry said.
"Sound right?" Pinky asked.
"Like, one of the buildings was literally falling apart and another wasn't isolated enough, etc.," Perry answered. "But the remaining seven have to be looked at personally for any activity."
"Ok, makes sense," Pinky said. "When are we going to check them out?"
"Tonight?" Perry asked.
Pinky nodded. "Okay, I'll meet you, Terry, and the boys in your lair after Isabella and Baljeet go to sleep."
"See you then," Perry said, then shut off the watch.
Perry kept the list down in his lair by his computer, then headed back up to the backyard. He wanted to lay back down, but he needed to tell the boys about tonight's plans, so he headed into the house; he found them in the kitchen. He looked around for the other family members and Phineas caught him doing it.
"They aren't here," Phineas said to Perry. "Mom had to meet Dad at the antique store and Candace is at the mall with Stacy."
Perry nodded and switched on the translator. "I got results."
"You did?" Phineas asked, smiling.
"Yup," Perry said.
"How many places are there?" Ferb asked.
"Seven," Perry said. "We're going to look at them tonight. Pinky and Terry are meeting us down in my lair after Isabella and Baljeet fall asleep."
"Sounds good," Phineas said. "What should we do until then?"
"Work on Pinky and Terry's gadgets and the microchips?" Ferb suggested.
"Great idea," Phineas said. "Are they still in Perry's lair?"
"Yes," Ferb answered, getting up.
Perry nodded and led them to one of his entrances in the living room and they slid down to the chair. Phineas headed over to Pinky and Terry's piles of gadgets and Ferb went to his laptop with the other microchips. Perry was pacing back and forth, energy brewing inside of him, so he decided to work off some of that energy by practicing his bōjutsu moves. He grabbed his bo staff from a cabinet and started going through the motions. After a few minutes, the moves started flowing through more easily, letting Perry do them flawlessly and without much thought. He spun and kicked and punched and vaulted several times, letting his energy out in a productive way. After two hours, Perry started to feel fatigue, so he slowed down his movements before coming to a stop. He took a deep breath in and out, looking up and saw the boys watching him.
"What?" Perry asked.
"You're really good at that," Phineas said, Ferb nodding. "Which type was that?"
"Bōjutsu," Perry said, grabbing a towel and wiping his face. "I needed to work off some energy."
"Well, Ferb finished the last of the microchips," Phineas said. "When should we add them onto the other collars?"
"I don't know," Perry said, putting his bo staff back. "It depends on what we find tonight."
"What time is it?" Phineas asked.
Perry looked down at his watch. "6:30. Why?"
"Mom and Dad should be back by now and Mom said she was gonna pick up some subs for dinner on the way home," Phineas said. "We should head back up."
"We'll take a tube back to your room," Perry said, activating one of the tubes. "Come on."
The boys followed him up through one of the tubes and then they landed in their bedroom. Perry turned off his translator, dropped back to all fours and put his vacant expression on, then followed the boys as they left the room and went to the kitchen. When they reached it, Perry saw Linda and Lawrence coming in with bags in their hands.
"Hey, boys," Linda said, placing the bags on the counter. "I got subs."
"Awesome, mom," Phineas said, grabbing his and sitting at the table, Ferb following.
Perry walked over and laid down in between the boys' chairs, resting his chin on his paws. A moment later, he saw two objects land in front of him. He focused on the objects and saw they were two 1/3 of sandwiches. He looked up at Phineas and Ferb and saw Phineas smile before going back to eating. He smiled himself before standing up and eating the sandwich bits in front of him. Before laying back down, he purred and rubbed his head against Phineas and Ferb's legs in thanks.
"You're welcome, buddy," Phineas answered.
Perry took a quick nap as the rest of the family finished their dinner. He woke up when he felt someone nudge his side. He looked up and saw Phineas and Ferb getting out of their chairs. He got up and stretched, then followed the boys upstairs. Once Ferb closed the door behind them, Perry turned his translator back on and stood up.
"If you boys are tired, now might be a great time to take a quick nap," Perry said. "It's gonna be a long night."
"I'm fine," Phineas said. "Ferb? You good?"
"Yes," Ferb answered.
"Should we bring any of your gadgets just in case the need arises?" Phineas asked, sitting on his bed.
"I guess a few of my hand held ray guns should do," Perry said. "And my grappling gun, but I don't plan on getting caught."
