Chapter Seven

Rescue Is On the Way

"Hey, look!" Exclaimed Clover, "There's Ashley!"

"Ashley!" Sabrina said faintly under her breath. "C'mahhh! There are three sharks over there circling her! OH NO!"

"We've gotta go save her!" Shrieked Alex. "They're probably gonna eat Ashley!"

"Hurry, let's think of a plan- and fast!" Sam said frantically. "Okay-um. Clover," She said pointing at her, "you swim over to the sharks, but keep your distance, and try to get their attention. I'll go with you."
"Phew!" Clover said rolling her eyes.

"Okay- then Sabrina and Alex. You go get Ashley." Finished Sam.

"Okay- C'mon." Said Alex.

Clover and Sam swam towards the sharks. "Hey, you big, fat, ugly sharks! OVER HERE!" Clover yelled, the sharks looked over and them, and started swimming toward them.

Alex and Sabrina swam quickly towards Ashley then swam behind a thing of thick seaweed. The sharks dove at the sand where Ashley used to be and collided into each other.

Clover did an air punch. Alex looked at Ashley, "She needs air!" So Sabrina and Alex tried pulling Ashley up, but she got even more heavier as they went.

"Man, she's heavy!" Said Alex.

"It's only because she's unconscious and can't help us move her..." Commented Sabrina.

"Right...I knew that!" Alex said as she sweatdropped.

"Hurry, just one – more – push!" Said Sabrina, heaving her self to the surface. Instantly Ashley opened her eyes and gasped for air.

"Sabrina!" Ashley said weakly.

"Ashley!" Sabrina said at the said time, "Man are you okay? What happened?"
"I'm fine...but I found out what happened to the missing animals."
"You did?" Sabrina asked.

"Yeah, they were napped and drugged. This one man wants to transfer the animals awesome swimming 'powers' to the good swimmers." Ashley said coughing.

"Then why is that bad?" Alex asked.

"Why is it bad?!?" Ashley said, as they joined Sam and Clover on the beach. "It's bad because the animals die, and we start acting like the animals a little! Then as time goes by, they-meaning the swimmers-start acting more and more like animals, until they act exactly like them!"
"Gee!" Said Alex.

"Yeah, and then every single human swimmer a live will turn into some kid of marine animal!" Sabrina said.

"It wouldn't be that bad, I always wondered what it would be like to be a-"
"ASHLEY!" Sabrina interrupted her.

"Hee hee?" Ashley said weakly.

"Have you noticed any humans in this 'hide-out' while you were trapped?" Asked Sam.

"DUH!" Answered Ashley.

"Well, it turns out that Olympic swimmers are missing too!" Sam said.

"Duh, one of them broke my wrist-" Ashley said, looking at her wrist, which was now black and blue.

"What do you mean; one of them broke your wrist?" Asked Sabrina.

"See for yourself..." Ashley muttered, showing Sabrina her wrist. "I know you broke your wrist, but I can't tell who broke you describe the person?"

"Sure...It was Rachel Mourkill." Ashley said, staring at her wrist again.

"Are you serious?" Asked Clover, "She's my absolute favorite swimmer! I can't believe she would do something like that.

"I can! She's a little-" Ashley started and angry expression on her face and Sabrina shouted, "ASHLEY!" Ashley narrowed her eyes and said, "What?!? I was gonna say, a little snot! So stuck up and all! She thinks she's the prettiest, the best, everything great. It's sooo annoying." She paused and continued, "That and she hates me..."

Back at the hide-out...

"Uhh! That little brat got away!" Said the man in the trench coat. "Rachel, come 'ere!" She came, "Why didn't you stop that totally-obsessed-with-marine-animals kid?" He asked, furious.

"B-because, I was filing my nails and I didn't notice until I heard a loud thud and realized she had already escaped!"
He grabbed her by her collar and picked her off the ground. "You're gonna get her back! You're gonna get her back if it's the last thing you do!" He snarled at her and threw her on the ground.

As the spies were flying back to the twin's house...

"It just boggles my mind that Rachel would do that!" Said Clover sounding hurt. "Oh get over it!" Alex said deeply annoyed.

"Don't worry!" Sam and Sabrina said, putting their arms around her for comfort. "We'll get to the bottom of this..." Said Sabrina in a calm, quiet, soothing voice. "But try not to get upset about this – there's nothing we can do."
"Okay-let's get down to business." Sam said.

"Oh, yeah!" Sabrina same, looking embarrassed as she sweatdropped. She was comforting Clover about a swimmer gone bad. Oops!

Ashley moaned as the Kurt 3000 landed on her family's driveway, and turned into a car.

Sabrina looked at Ashley and raised an eyebrow. She tried to read the stone hard expression on Ashley's face. She suddenly got scared and looked to where Ashley was staring. Her jaw dropped and she groaned putting her head into her hands.

They had landed in their mother's war path.

Their mom ran over to the car, her eyes flashing dangerously. Her face was deep red with a furious look on her face. Ashley groaned and sunk down into the seat. However, Sabrina gulped and tried to look her mom straight in the eyes, "Hi mom?" She said in a high pitched voice.

Sam, Alex, and Clover exchanged scared expressions as the twin's mom shouted, "HI MOM! I'LL SHOW YOU HI MOM!!!" She opened the door on Ashley's side, and pulled her out by the arm; raced to the other side and did the same to Sabrina. "You, young ladies, BEST tell me where you've been! Quickly and NO lies!!!"
Ashley winced, probably because her mom had a death grip on the arm with her broken wrist. "Mom...eh, we've been at the...at the Bahamas!" Sabrina nodded and added to Ashley's sentence, "J-Just enjoying ourselves and all...having fun and meeting Sam, Alex, and Clover." She nodded in the other spies directions.

Vanessa, the twins' mom, looked at the spies. She smiled and said nicely, "It's good to see you girls." Ashley-who was sinking down closer and closer-groaned as her mom jerked her up straight and growled, "Oh? Having fun, eh? Then tell my, WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOU DO?!?!?"
Ashley winced once more and Sabrina groaned, suddenly remembering what they must look like; Ashley all wet, dirty, and bruised, while the rest wet and tired looking.

"Hmm?!?" Vanessa demanded, and Ashley whispered, "M-mission..."

"HUH? I didn't hear you! LOUDER!" Her mom demanded.

"A MISSION!" Ashley shouted, getting very red in the face, "Erm....a mission."

"And what are you supposed to do if you're on a mission....?" Her mom asked, seeming to have calmed down.

"Call and leave a message..." Sabrina answered.

"And did you?" She asked letting go of them.

"No...."

"I was worried sick!"
"But Dad knew!" Sabrina blurted out and Vanessa blinked. Their father strolled out of the house, saying, "What was all of that-" He stopped short, spotting Ashley. He smiled running over to her the lifted her into his arms. "I'm so glad they found you!" He shouted happily, hugging her tightly.

"WHAT IN THE BLUE BLAZES DO YOU MEAN BY FOUND HER?" Her mom shouted.

He put Ashley down and came face to face with his wife, who looked like a very protective mother bear. "Umm-umm...." He stuttered.

Ashley grabbed Sabrina's arm and motioned for the rest to follow and be quiet. Alex, Sam, and Clover slipped out of the car and the five girls tip toed silently into the house without being noticed by the arguing mother or the scared father.

They didn't stop until they were safely in the twin's room and Ashley locked the door. They all released a big breathe that they had been holding.

"Phew...that was close!" Sabrina sighed, flopping onto her bed.

Ashley walked over to her side of the room and petted a cat that was perched on her top post of the bunk bed.

Ashley's odd attitude made them look at each other and raise an eyebrow.

Sam looked at Ashley, then Sabrina and asked, "Why was your mom acting that way?"

Sabrina was the one to answer, Ashley was acting as if she wasn't soaking wet, hurt, and that other girls were in the same room; talking. "She's protective..." She murmured and stared at her sister and shrugged,

"I guessed...that much..." Clover murmured.

Ashley grabbed the cat from the post and held it in her arms. She stated to scratch behind its ears and the cat purred happily. It was a sleek black cat, with an odd silver symbol on his chest. His eyes were a stunning green, with blue specks, in his eyes. Finally Ashley said calmly, "His name is Marco Contelli."
Clover, thinking that was the cat's name said, "Why, that's a weird name for a cat!"
Ashley remained patient, while Sabrina rolled her eyes. "No, Clover, the cat's name is Shorty..." Ashley murmured.

"Oh....then, who is this Marco-" Clover started, but Sam following what Ashley had said, exclaimed, "That's the one behind the...evil?"
Ashley nodded...
