Chap 12: Suspicions and Dirty Politics
Monday and Tuesday passed quickly to Wednesday. On that particular Wednesday afternoon Jenny, Brad, and Maisha had taken the bus towards the town library for a report they had to do. Since Maisha was in Honors English she had a totally different assignment to do and went off to the look up information on Puritan literature leaving Jenny and Brad alone together to look up Shakespeare's time.
"So Jenny here we are. Do you want to look up fashion and etiquette in the Shakespeare's time or war and sports?" Brad asked her.
"Fashion and sports. We need to talk." Jenny told him.
"Let me go get these books..."
"Brad, you've been acting real funny lately. Whenever I mention Valentine's Day, love, candy, parties, or anything of that sort you change the subject. What's going on with you?" Jenny was concerned about him.
"Don't get me wrong Jenny. I like Valentine's day as much as the next guy but the couple thing at the party and all the strange things that have been going on all week have got me somewhat weirded out."
"What's there to be weired out about?"
"Well for one thing, that guy who was in your yard last Friday, I've been seeing him around and Sheldon is always were we are."
"Sheldon is probably following me around in hopes of asking me to be his Valentine and your imagination is probably running wild."
"Jenny I looked up the license plate on that man's car and it was stated as a stolen car. I also looked up Kerbing's alumni school. His site says he graduated from GAH College with a bachelor degree. There's no such thing as that GAH College." Brad told her.
"That's weird."
"Even weirder is that he hasn't run for Mayor, city council, or anything in our state. Also the fact that there are no pictures of him on his site and he doesn't go to any of the state events to campaign."
"What are you getting at Brad?" Jenny wanted to know.
"Maybe our state is in trouble if this Kerbings guy wins Governor. He doesn't seem to be authentic."
"Are you saying that this guy and Kerbings are into something shady?"
"Evidently. How many politicians do you know whose supporters come and threaten their opponents' kids and their friends?" Brad pointed out.
"True. So should we tell Maisha?" Jenny wanted to know.
"No she'll just get herself worked up about it."
Maisha showed up then with a stack of books and they started researching.
Sheldon was across the library watching from the science fiction section. So far so good. He hadn't forgotten to call the mysterious man after each day. He wanted to know how he and Jenny were going to hang out on Valentine's Day if Brad was going to take her to the dance though so later that day he called Fawnsworth.
"Hello Sheldon. What do you have for me today?" Fawnsworth answered the phone.
"Brad and she are going together to a party on v-day." Sheldon sadly told him.
"So? What about Maisha?"
"She's going alone. She would go with someone but she's a matchmaker."
"Really? Where did they go after school today?"
"They were studying at the town library. How's Jenny going to go out with me on V-day if she's going to be with Brad?"
"You're going to the party with her." Fawnsworth assured him and hung up.
Fawnsworth had another call to make.
"Hello Kerbings, I need to talk to the Queen of 'you know where' about a hypnotizing bug for robots. Yep it's for XJ-9. We can have our cake and they can have theirs too."
