Chapter 6: Elaboration

Cindy awoke the next day to see if Bruno was still out there watching her. Sure enough, he was. She went outside to confront him to find out why he was stalking her. Normally, he would stalk her until she gets a little testy with it. Then he would usually leave. But this time was definitely different. He kept coming back. This time she wasn't going to let him get away. She had to find out why he kept stalking her.

Bruno: No matter what i do i just can't get rid of you, can i?

Cindy: Likewise...

Bruno: So what brings her royal hiness out here?

Cindy: Why are you stalking me?

Bruno: Stalking? I just like to visit you that's all.

Cindy: I won't ask again.

Bruno: And i feel threatened.

Cindy:-glares at him-

Bruno: No really i'm being serious this time. I actually feel threatened.

Cindy: This is neither the time nor place for your games, Bruno. Tell me why you keep stalking me.

Bruno:...

Cindy: I don't want to have to tell the other villagers that your not of our type.

Bruno: Fine i admit defeat. This was basically my mission.

Cindy: To stalk me?

Bruno: It was so i could keep an eye out for you.

Cindy: Since when do you care of what happens to others?

Bruno: Since i have no choice. My younger brother was kidnapped.

Cindy: Bryan?

Bruno: Yes, Bryan.

Cindy: Who kidnapped him?

Bruno: I don't know. I was just told that if i were to see him alive again i was to make sure you wouldn't find out about what they know about your father.

Cindy: What about my father and how would they know?

Bruno: They have ways. And i'm not about to put my brother's life on the line just so you would know a little more about your heritage.

Cindy: What about my heritage?

Bruno: Sorry tootse. Not today. Maybe when i get my brother back i might be able to tell you.

Cindy: So you stalk me to keep me from knowing about my father?

Bruno: Yeah that's right. So you better get used to me hangin around here more often cause i'm not going to let my brother die just because you feel a little uncomfortable about some extra company.

Cindy: And what makes you think just because you do what they ask they'll spare your brother's life?

Bruno: We had a deal.

Cindy: And that'll save his life, right?

Bruno:...

Cindy: Never take a kidnapper's word for it even if they do show you that he's alive they could kill him later.

Bruno: And how would you know? You've never had any expierience of stuff like this in your whole life.

Cindy: I know enough to not trust them especially if i were to leave the one they captured alone with them.

Bruno:-groans- I should've killed you when i had the chance.

Cindy:-glares at him again-

Bruno: If you want to be the big hero like you were 15 years ago you can go ahead. I'm just a murderer, right? I'm not supposed to care about what happens to my brother.

Cindy: I didn't say that.

Bruno: You were thinkin it.-turns and walks away-

Cindy: My father...-turns and enters the house- What would he know about my father if he isn't of my type?

She pondered a while and then she knew what she had to do to find out about her father. She had to confront her mother. She wrote a note to Spongebob of where she would be going and when she'll be back. Then she set out to Shelf bottom.

(A/N: What does Bruno know about Cindy's father and what will she find out from her mom? And could these kidnappers be a clue to who contacted her? More on the next chapter. Review! Otomos!)
