Part Seven - Help!
By
Carolyne Smythe
Right after Doom left the room of death Marilyn was trapped in; she instantly knew what she had to do. She had the communicator Reed had given her clipped to the light blue belt wrapped around her waist.
"If it were not for these darn shackles, I could just simply get out that communicator. But, I must remember what Father always told me, where there is a will, there is a way."
Suddenly, a thought came to her.
"If I can twist about, I shall be able to get the communicator within reach of one of my hands!"
Quickly, she wriggled about. Her belt eventually moved so that the communicator was to her side, and conveniently near her right hand. She gingerly picked up the communicator from her belt, and rapidly pressed the small button to activate it. The device bleeped, and a small mini-antenna extended.
"Oh please let it work!" Mary kept whispering to herself as she repeatedly pressed the blue button that would alert her friends that she was in a predicament.
Finally, a beep sounded on the communicator along with static. Then, a very familiar voice came on.
"Johnny or Ben, if that's one of you doing another prank paging, I am going to take the communicators away from both of you!"
"Father! It's me, Mary!"
There was a pause for a second, then Reed spoke again.
"Oh, sorry Mary. You would not believe how Ben and Johnny keep playing "Army" with these new communicators. How is your plane trip going?"
"Father, you need to come quick! I will explain later. Doom has me trapped in the Latverian Embassy!"
Suddenly, a state of shock took over Reed as he realized what truly happened, and how foolish he was to easily place his stepdaughter in such a deadly situation.
"This is Matchstick to Rocky, come in Rocky!" Johnny suddenly interupted.
"Johnny, you and Ben pipe down! I am in literally a wet situation here, and need to get out!" Mary yelled out over the communicator.
The water by then was at her feet.
"Mary! What's going on?" Johnny asked in a puzzled tone.
"Mary, my dear child, say no more!" Reed blurted out.
"We are on our way! Johnny, lad go quick and tell Ben and Sue to hurry to the Fantasticar! I will explain what is going on when you get there."
He ran out of his lab to get the Fantasticar ready, and save his stepdaughter from the unfortunate circumstances she was facing.
"So wha'cha sayin' is that Uncle Drake is not Uncle Drake?"
Ben asked as he piloted the Fantasticar towards the Latverian Embassy.
"Correct Ben. Doom was able to do an excellent British accent, and fool all of us into thinking he was a distant relative of Mary's."
Reed answered over the Fantasticar's communications system.
"I bet that came as a huge shock to Mary." Johnny interjected.
"It probably did, but knowing her, she is most likely delighted to know she is still with us. She sounded scared, yet relieved." Reed said.
"Oh Reed, I pray Doom has done nothing to that girl in between the time she alerted us, and the time we get there." Sue spoke in a voice full of concern.
"Remember Sue, this is the girl who saved us from Dooms wrath. Not to mention how well she did in that fight between her and Doom when I was knocked out my that poisonous gas." Reed proclaimed.
Right after that was said, quiet overcame the Fantasticar as it stealthily approached the Latverian Embassy. And the travelers aboard hoped and prayed that they were in time to save the precious one of their own.
