Chapter 4: The Next Day
Lori gets up looking rather cheerful.
Lori: I wonder if Tommy's had breakfast yet.
Lori walks over to the phone and dials tommy's number. Dean ansewrs.
Dean: Hello.
Lori: Hey, is tommy there?
Dean: Haven't seen him. I would take a message but my cartoons are on. Catch ya later.
Dean hangs up and goes back to watching his beloved TV. Lori looks a little disappointed but hangs up and goes to eat breakfast.
In the Lair Merton is waiting for Tommy.
Merton: He should be here by now.
Becky enters.
Becky: Hey Freaker, my friends are coming over so can you disappear for an hour.
Merton: Yeah whatever.
Becky leaves and Merton drives to Tommy's house. When he gets there he goes right upstairs to Tommy's room.
Merton: Hey buddy, How's it…
Merton stops in the doorway and sees Tommy in his suit unconscious on the bed.
Merton: (shaking Tommy) Get up man.
Tommy: I don't want to go to school mommy.
Merton: Tommy come on I need to get you to the lair.
Merton drags Tommy to the hearse and drives off. Back at the Lair Tommy is asleep and Merton is looking through books franticly. Lori walks in the door looking out of breath and worried.
Lori: What's wrong Merton?
Merton: (a little frustrated) I don't know Lori you tell me.
Lori: Looks like he has a cold or something.
Merton: Nice try but werewolves don't get colds. They don't even get sick.
Lori: Oh then what is it?
Merton: I don't know. Dr. Fluglehoff says silver consumption, but he's a quack and Tommy isn't that dim witted is he?
Lori: (angrily) Of course he's not Dingle.
Tommy starts to wake up he looks really sick and weak. Lori and Merton both rush over to him.
Tommy: What's going on guys? I feel horrible.
Merton: Tommy what was the last thing you ate or drank last night?
Tommy: I don't know I had some punch at the dance.
Merton: TnT must have spiked it when they were geniuses.
Tommy: Then I drank some of your water in the lab.
Merton: You what?
Tommy: Lori and I had been dancing a lot and I was thirsty.
Lori: What's so big about a little bit of water Merton?
Merton: Oh nothing. It was just the silver nitrate I was working with.
Lori: Oh no what's going to happen to him?
Merton: Nothing cuz I have a cure right here.
Merton looks through his shelves but find nothing but a note.
Merton: Uh-oh
Lori: What do you mean Uh-oh?
Merton: Somebody stole it.
Lori: What! Let me see.
Lori snatches the note from Merton and reads it out loud.
Lori: That wimp of a wolf cost me my rep. But this will compensate for that. Now what are we going to do?
Merton: He has 3 hours before the silver nitrate circulates through his system
Lori: (really worried) Then what?
Merton: (looking down) He dies.
Lori gets up looking rather cheerful.
