Chapter 8: The Diversion.
Link woke up the next moring excited about what was going to take place that day. He quickly got up, showered, ate breakfast and made his way over to the studio. He wanted to see the look on Velma's face when she saw the giant can of hairspray they had placed in the middle of the stage. He also wanted to see the look of pleasure on Corney's face as he saw Velma's reaction.
When he got to the studio, he saw that the studio had already been opened. He had missed the intial suprised look. Oh well. He was sure that Corney would tell him all about it. Once inside he heard the usual screaming Velma and the usual hustle and bustle of they performers getting ready to go on. There was an excitment in the air today though. It was the day of the big contest.
"Link! Did you hear?"
"Hear what?" Asked Link wondering if they had found out about Tracy.
"Tracy won't be in the show, she wasn't able to get bail cause she started the whole thing." she laughed evily.
"That's to bad." stated Link trying to sound sarcastic.
"Yea, but not really, cause that means I'm sure to win!" She said as she walked away, head held high.
'That's what you think' thought Link.
"Link, MAN!! you should have seen her face when she saw the can. It was classic!" Exclaimed Corney as he walked up to him.
"I'm sorry I missed it man."
"You didn't!"
"What?"
"I got a picture! Well, I should say the camera man got a picture."
"There are camera men here already?" asked Link a little worredly, he didn't want them snooping around back if they were here. He knew they would snitch if they found Tracy and her friends.
"No, just one. He left already though, but he did catch her suprise! I hope it gets in the paper!"
"Yea, that would be funny."Said Link somewhat flatly. "I have to go check on something, I catch up with you later man."
"Yea, alright, see ya."
Link found the nearest phone that seemed private. He called Tracy and made sure that everything was going ok.
"..We should be there in a couple of hours."
"Great. Everything is going to plan here so far as well."
"Thanks again Link for everything." Tracy said shyly.
"Don't mention it. I would do anything for you Tracy!"
"Oh, Link" She sighed.
"Tracy..."
"What about Tracy?" Asked Brenda as she came around the corner arms folded.
"..Ok, great. Just making sure. There was a rumor going around that she had broken out." Link said into the phone. Tracy had gotten the message and quickly said goodbye and hung up the phone.
"What was that about?" Brenda asked looking concerned.
"Someone was saying that Tracy got out of jail. I just called the prison and they said that she was still there safe and sound!" Link smiled.
"Good, we don't want her and her fat friends messing everything up for Amber." She stated stoutly and walked off.
Link let out a deep breath. "That was a close one." he mumbled under his breath.
The rest of the afternoon went by slowly as everyone finished preparing for the show that was to start in an hour. Link tried to stay busy making sure that no one was snooping for clues that Tracy was out of jail, but it began to get boring after awhile. He sat near the back stage door waiting for any sounds that might tell him that they had arrived. He heard Velma yelling at one of the stage crew.
"Get this thing off of the stage, I dont want it here."
Link ran to where the giant can was. "Velma, we need that can there. It's very important." Finally he was able to use that as a diversion.
"Why?" she asked suspiciouly. "What's in there"
"Nothing," he said as innocently as possible. Knowing it would drive her mad.
Finally the show was starting.....
