Chapter 10
It doesn't take a genius...
Jimmy woke up and didn't know where he was. Then he remembered.
He looked around, expecting to see Cindy. He was alone.
"Cindy"? He said. Jimmy was puzzled.
He stood up.
"Jimmy Neutron" he heard someone whisper. He turned around, and there was April.
"I know you do not want to talk to me right now" she said.
Jimmy shook his head.
"Let me explain. Meldar escaped from his holding cell, which is where we put him. He threatened my people. He wouldn't tell us why. All he said was that he needed your friend to finish his plan."
"Cindy?" asked Jimmy. "But why would Meldar need her?"
"He said something about a long lost prince. . . but that's all he said." replied April.
Jimmy sighed. He had no idea what was going on- and he hated that.
Cindy sat wide eyed across from the large alien, who'd she'd learned was named Fenal.
"Why did you tell me this." she asked.
"So that you and your friends can leave" he said. "We may not know why Meldar needs you, but he does."
"Don't you want to put us in a cage" she asked.
"No, I want you to leave" he said.
"Why" asked Cindy.
"Because I love April. I have loved her for thousands of years. You see, Gorlokians live a very long time" he said.
"So you want us to leave so that you can have her. Show me the nearest exit and were outta here!" said Cindy.
"It's not that simple" he replied," They still have your friends".
How is it?
