Chapter 5
The Clever Capture
"Pst! Garnet! Get the phone and call the police!" Eiko cried. "Garnet!"
Garnet was thrown into an abrupt, futile state of stupidity. It was soon shattered.
"Oh! What? What did you say?"
"I said, my dear feeble-minded, retarded, mentally-disabled moron, to call the police!"
"Ah! Sorry! Geez, settle down. You know, you use big words for a little girl."
"Ugh."
Quina ran for the frying egg like an untamable beast. Eiko ran all around the house, having the hypnotized hippopotamus follow her.
Meanwhile, Garnet dialed the police. Zidane's cell phone rang simultaneously and uncannily, and he answered it. It was his mom.
"I called the police, Zidane. They're....."
"Mom, listen," Zidane interrupted. "Quina is here! Help us! Get the police over here now!"
"Oh my God, are you hurt? Is she armed?"
"Yes. With an abnormally large appetite for anything that doesn't move."
"Oh my God! I'll tell the police to go to the house right now!"
She hung up.
"Put the phone down, Garnet. My mom called the police," Zidane said.
Garnet seemed to ignore Zidane. She was talking to someone on the other line.
"So, yeah. Like I was saying, Freya, I don't think you should. I mean, it's your choice....."
"You were talking to Freya?!?"
"Well, yeah. Duh....."
Abruptly, Eiko came back into the room with the voracious Quina, attempting to stall her.
"Did you call the police, Garnet?" Eiko asked.
"Who?!?"
"Ugh. You....."
"Don't worry, Eiko. My mom took care of it," Zidane told her.
"Wow. At least you have one smart person in your family," Eiko said. "Hm. Must be your dad's side that's re....."
Eiko was intervened by the persistent gourmand. She reacted quickly; she jumped high into the air, with the enticing aroma of egg streaming and waving, as she landed the pan directly on Quina's head. It sounded like a hollow log hitting water. Quina was knocked out cold.
"Hm. There must be plenty of blubber in that noggin," Eiko said, as she gently touched the ground from her leap.
About 10 minutes later, the police arrived at the house, with Zidane's mom following close behind. The cops handcuffed the gourmand, as she lay unconscious.
"Good work, kids," one of the cops, said. "That was clever work, how you used an egg as a diversion."
"Yes, it was," Eiko said, nodding her head in concurrence.
"Well, here is the reward money. A thousand dollars."
He handed it all to Zidane, who would carefully divide it amongst them. But Eiko snatched it all hastily from his hand.
"Thank you!" Eiko said, as she began walking down the sidewalk, heading home, flipping her fingers through the money and counting the bills in her head.
