Chapter 47: Raising Money.
A few days later, the Incredibles flew back down as a robot exploded and The Underminer flew away.
"I'll be back, you fools!" he yelled as he flew away. As citizens cheered, the Incredibles turned to face them.
Once the cheers died down, Speed Demon walked over and said, "I have a favor to ask of you all." before pulling out his jar, which he had emptied into a bigger one at home. "Miss Stealth is in the hospital and she needs an operation in order to get better. If you would be willing to help me and my parents out, it would really mean a lot to us." he explained as his parents pulled out their own jars. People started walking over and putting money in the three jars. By the time the Incredibles got home, they had quite a good amount of cash collected.
"This is going great so far! We've got more than half of what we need!" Dash said as they emptied the money into an electronic counting jar, happy that Violet would live after all. Meanwhile, the students at his school had been more than willing to donate, as they had already gathered more than plenty from plain donations, but even more from cookie dough and chocolate bar fundraisers. By the end of the week, they had just about had the money needed to save Violet, but they were $56 short.
"Man, we've got all we can get from everyone." Bob said.
"With Mirage, Edna and Rick out of town, we can't ask them." Helen said.
"Hey, guys." said a voice. The Parrs looked behind them and saw Eric standing in the doorway of the kitchen.
"Hey, Eric." Helen said as he walked over.
"I heard about Violet from a few citizens, so I thought I'd help out." Eric said before he took out his wallet and gave them the $56.
Helen's eyes welled up with tears before she gave Eric a tight hug and said, "Thank you, Eric." Eric nodded before Bob gave him a high-five and Dash gave him a fist bump.
