~*Chapter 8: Got the guy!*~

"What's your name?" I asked, pulling open the door.

"Tom Thomas," said the man. "What do you want?!"

"Me? We want Amanda!" I answered, pointing at Arnold, Jake and I.

"I don't have her," Tom grumbled.

"We know you do, Tomas!" Jake schreeched.

"Tomas Thomas? What kind of name is that?" asked Arnold quietly.

"You weren't supposed to tell!" Tom said, pointing a finger at Jake.

"What?' asked Arnold. "You knew all this time and you wouldn't tell the police?!"

"I am a police," said Jake suddenly. "Always been one, undercover, not telling anyone my identity."

"Why DIDN'T you arrest him, el stupido?' I squealed. "Give us the girl, now!" I ran right under Tom's arm, and into the house. I found baby Amanda sitting on the couch, cheeks puffed, eyes red from crying. I grabbed her, and ran under Tom's arms again.

"Arrest him!" Arnold cried. Jake grabbed out some hand-cuffs, and handcuffed him. He lead him to the house, put him in the car, and drove to the police station.

"Amanda's mom and dad live down the street, and their address is 1355," he said before he left.

"Thanks!" I called. I leaned over and kissed Arnold's cheek. "Sorry," I whispered into his ear.

We walked down the street and knocked on the door.

A plump woman opened the door. "My baby!" she cried. She picked up Amanda. "Where did you find her? Oh thank you!"

"We found her at Tom Thomas's house. He is with the police," I said. We said bye, and I beeped Wayne to take us home.

"We did our mission here," Arnold said.

~*Back Home*~

"Nothing happened, Arnoldo! Just because we were in that mission together doesn't mean I like you. Got it?"

"Okay okay," Arnold said as we walked in the halls of P.S. 118.

"Hey, it's the smooch kids!" called Wolfgang. "Ooh!" he hissed.

"Shut up, Wolfgang. It's probably your horrible perverted sight," I sneered. "Anyway, it's not like you have anyone to like you! Oooh!"

It's great to be home, I thought. SOOOO many crazy things have happened and wait until I tell Pheebs!

A/N: Very pathetic ending, but I couldn't think of anything else. I just felt like making the ending real pathetic! ^_^
