Chapter 2: Called In
James awoke to a loud knocking. He groogily sat up and rubbed his head. "Aww. What time is it?" He whispered to himself. He looked to his clock to see that it was 9:00 AM on a Saturday morning.
"HEY, SHITHEAD!" James could hear his father yelling from down the hall.
"What?"
"I'm goin out today. You better clean out the gutters and mow the grass by the time I get home!"
"Or, what?"
"Don't get smart with me!"
"Can I ask you where you are going?"
"No."
James then heard the door slam behind his dad as he headed out the front door. The sound of his fathers car echoed into his window and slowly faded away as he drove down the street. James rubbed his eyes and layed back down to sleep. About five minutes later, James was still awake but trying to go to sleep as he heard a knocking on his bedroom door. He ignored it and turned over, pulling the pillow over his head. He then heard the door open and footsteps walking across the room. James pulled the pillow off his head and looked up to see Cindy Vortex standing over him, still dressed in a long t-shirt and no pants.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"Where'd your father go?"
"I don't know. How'd you get out of the house still in your pajamas?"
"Climed out the window."
Cindy then climbed into bed with him and they both fell asleep.
**TWO HOURS LATER**
The pager sitting on James's dresser started vibrating, making it move across the dresser and fall on the floor. Cindy was laying on the side of the bed by the dresser and was woke up by the pager. She picked it up and handed it to James. James sat up and looked into the pager. He then stood up and walked over to the desk and dialed the number on the pager into the phone. "448-9726." James read the number as he dialed.
"Is this James Neutron?" Said a man on the phone.
"Yes."
"You need to get to Washington as fast as you can."
"Ok. Where do I need to be?"
"In Washington."
"No, where in Wa-"
"We will find you." The man said, cutting off James. The line then went dead.
Cindy sat up in the bed. "Who was it?"
"I don't know. But we have to go to Washington."
Back in 9th grade, James and Cindy had both been called in by the President to work for the Nuclear Arms Commission. The were made partners and this is how they fell in love. They are now on call 24 hours a day. Luckily, Retroville is located in Maryland or they would have had to move. James and Cindy then quickly got ready and drove to Washington D.C.
