DM Margo Alone Chapter 13

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!". She screamed so long and so loud that everyone heard her. El Macho and Bratt exchanged embarrassed looks. When Margo quietened down, they told her their plan, ''Tonight we're going to rob that Disney Store!'' said El Macho., ''And this time, we're not going to let you stop us!'' added Bratt.

Margo didn't answer. She ran away as fast as she could. "GET HER!" El Macho roared as he and Bratt chased after her. Margo ran all the way across Queens Park. She ran so fast that she got her foot caught in some rocks. Then the strange woman covered in pigeons approached and pulled Margo's foot free of the rocks. ''Thanks'' Margo said. ''No problem sweetie'' the pigeon lady said, ''I'm Brenda. I live right here in Queens Park''.

''You don't have a home?'' Margo asked. ''No'' sighed Brenda, ''My while life has fallen apart since my lover cheated on me and left me for someone else. The pigeons are my only friends''. Margo understood how Brenda felt about being cheated on. It was just like she felt about Antonio cheating on her. She thanked Brenda and promised to come back and visit her again.

Suddenly Margo saw Bratt and El Macho catching up to her! ''Sorry I gotta go!'' she said, ''Those guys are after me! Bye!''. Margo ran back towards the Chelsea Hotel. Cedric was standing outside. ''You gotta help me! There's two guys after me!'' she said.

''What's the matter?'' sneered Cedric, ''Store wouldn't take your stolen credit card? Let's see what the police have to say about this''. Margo ran off again. Bratt and El Macho were not far behind. ''Come on! Let's go get her!'' shouted El Macho. This time Cedric joined in the chase. ''Get back here you little thief!'' he shouted.

As she ran along, Margo purchased some strings of beads from a nearby store and scattered the beads all over the ground. Bratt, El Macho and Cedric slipped on them and fell over! "OOF!" they said as they landed all other each other. "OW!". ''Get off of me both of you!'' snapped El Macho. "He started it!" Bratt snapped back. ''Start what?'' snapped Cedric, ''I just wanted to catch the girl for stealing her mom's credit card and you two spoilt everything!''.

As they argued, Margo ran all the way to Toronto Union Station. She brought a return ticket to Nigeria Falls with Lucy's credit card. ''I'll spend the day there so they can't find me'' she thought, ''They'll give up eventually''. Niagara Falls was amazing, Margo had never seen such a big wide waterfall in all her life! ''If only my family could be here to see this'' she said wistfully as she took some photos with her camera.

Margo had a lovely day in Canada, she walked over the Rainbow Bridge and ate in the Rainforest Café for lunch. Then she spent the afternoon in Marineland of Canada. It was even better than Super Silly Fun Land! The sun was setting as Margo went on the train back to Toronto. She knew she needed to do something to stop Bratt and El Macho from robbing the Disney Store!

Then Margo remembered some houses in Toronto that was vacant and undergoing renovation and she made a plan. The people who lived in them were living elsewhere while their own houses were being worked on. Just like she'd done before at her own house, Margo drew her plans on a piece of paper and set up booby traps throughout the townhouse.

She poured some goo on the floor and tied paint cans to ropes and lined up bags of cement. She stretched a trip wire across the basement and scattered tools here and there and painted the stairs with grease. At last everything was in place and Margo headed back to the Disney Store. Bratt and El Macho were already there stuffing money into a bag. She peaked in the store window.

''This is more money than I can count!'' she heard Bratt say. Margo tapped on the glass and the burglars caught sight of her. ''She's back!'' gasped El Macho. Margo got out her camera and took a photograph of the burglars. "She took our picture!" El Macho exclaimed. "How does my hair look?" Bratt asked mistakenly. Then Margo threw a brick with a note for Mr Turner and it smashed through the glass window.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" El Macho wailed. The sound of breaking glass set off the store's security alarm! BLARE! BLARE! BLARE! The two burglars watched as Margo ran off. "STOP HER!" thundered El Macho. He and Bratt chased Margo to the townhouse. When they got there, they couldn't see her anywhere! "Where'd she go?" Bratt said. ''I'm up here! Come and get me!'' Margo called from the rooftops and she took a photograph of them again.

El Macho growled loudly. ''Let's Kill!'' shouted Bratt. "Wait!" El Macho yelled quickly, grabbing Bratt's shoulder, ''Hold on pea brain! We got busted last time cos we underestimated that little bundle of misery!''. "Don't you get it?" Bratt pointed out, ''This isn't like the last time! This isn't her house! The girl's running scared! She hasn't got a plan!''. ''May I do the thinking please?'' asked El Macho.

Then he shouted up to Margo, ''Lassie!''. "Yeah?" Margo called. ''Nothing would thrill me more greatly than to shoot you!'' shouted El Macho. ''Knockin off a youngster ain't gonna mean all that much to me! Understand?''. Margo nodded. ''But since we're in a hurry, I'll make a deal with you'' El Macho continued, ''Ya throw down your camera and we won't hurt ya. You'll never hear from us again. Ok?''.

''You promise?'' asked Margo. ''I cross my heart and hope to die!'' replied El Macho. ''Ok!'' said Margo. She picked a brick from the pile beside her and threw it down at the burglars. The brick hit Bratt on the head! Bratt began to see stars. ''Direct hit!'' Margo said. Bratt groaned as he slowly wobbled downward to the ground. ''How many fingers am I holding up Bratt?'' asked El Macho.

"Uh, 43?" Bratt guessed dazedly. "No, no. 28. No, uh, I know, 100". El Macho looked up at Margo. ''Ok kid!'' he snarled, ''You wanna throw bricks? Go ahead. Throw another one!''. Margo picked up another brick and threw it down hitting Bratt on the head like the last one! Bratt was seeing stars again. ''If you can't do any better than that kid!'' shouted El Macho, ''You're gonna lose!''.
