time. Here is the 2nd chapter. I hope that its not copying Marlyssa's
story. {I also hope that you enjoy it Marlyssa.}
Chapter two
"Suspicious Activity"
Ingrid kept going over and over the letter with a magnifying glass. She thought that maybe the letter that held some clues for them to follow. Letters seemed to help them out on some of the other missions that she and Fillmore had done together. Now she was going to have to find her partner no matter what.
Vallejo couldn't believe this had actually happened. Fillmore was one of the best on the team. How could he just have been kidnapped? He'd seen missions Fillmore and Ingrid had been on and he knew they'd been in many tight situations. What were they going to do about this?
"Third. You're going to need a partner during this case." Vallejo said. Ingrid turned around and gave Vallejo a strange look. Did he think that she wasn't capable of doing this alone? "Wait a minute, Vallejo I..." Ingrid started. Vallejo stepped aside and revealed a guy standing behind him. She looked at the guy behind him. "Wait a minute. Your that guy in the picture with Fillmore." Ingrid said.
The guy took a few steps forward and held out his hand to shake with her. "Third, I want you to meet Fillmore's old partner Wayne Leggett." Vallejo said. Ingrid held out her hand and shook with him. "Then, you must be the one that drafted Fillmore into the Safety Patrol. Fillmore said it was his old partner" Ingrid said. Wayne nodded.
Fillmore must have talked about him some; it showed in how much she seemed to know about him. Vallejo slapped Wayne on the back. "It's great to have you back Leggett" Vallejo said. Everyone nodded in agreement. "This place hasn't been the same without you" Tehama said. Tehama and Leggett slapped a high-five. Wayne couldn't help but laugh. "You haven't changed a bit, Tehama." He said.
Tehama nodded. She had greatly missed Leggett, one of the best Safety Patrol Officers here. Wayne sat down. He heard that this was extremely important but he hadn't actually been informed what the mission was. "Speaking of Fillmore, where is he? I came to visit mainly to see him again" he answered.
Ingrid handed Wayne the letter they found in front of the door and let him read it. Everyone went quiet while he read it. What would be his reaction? When he was done he looked up from letter and looked around the room. "Fillmore's been kidnapped?" He asked, in an astonished tone. He and Fillmore had been together a very long time and had gotten out of a lot of tight situations. How could Fillmore just get kidnapped like this? It didn't make any sense.
Wayne started pacing the floor. He just couldn't believe Fillmore had easily been taken like this. Wayne knew him too well and he knew that Fillmore would never have gone quietly. In order for them to kidnap Fillmore, it must have been someone that knew him well.
"Uh oh. I know that look in you're eye Leggett" Vallejo said. Vallejo walked behind him. "What is it?" he asked. "Well, first of all who ever did kidnap Fillmore, it would have to be someone that knew Fillmore well." Wayne paused, looking up at everyone's confused faces. "Because no normal person could take Fillmore down" He answered.
Wayne should know, when he busted Fillmore he was a tough to bring down. It took 5 other Safety Patrol Officers to bust him. He remembered that day clearly. They had cornered Fillmore many times after he was helping with the chalk shipment. Unfortunately every time they cornered him and they thought that they'd finally gotten him, Fillmore would get away one way or another. Finally after what seemed forever, Leggett finally outsmarted Fillmore and brought him down. Suddenly the phone ringing at Joseph's desk brought him out of his thoughts. Joseph answered the phone. "Okay. Yes we will consider it. Thank you." He put down the phone and looked up at the rest of the Safety Patrol. "An anonymous tip was just phoned in." he said.
Ingrid and Wayne jumped up. That was their cue. "Where?" Wayne asked. "Cafeteria" Joseph said. Wayne and Ingrid headed for the door. They needed to really hurry. They didn't know how long they had before this criminal struck again. "The Cafeteria is almost half way across campus. We might not make it" Ingrid said as they raced down the hall. "Yes we will, Third." Wayne said, as he smiled. Although he hadn't been here awhile and he didn't know if he remembered where everything was, he still had a few tricks up his sleeves. "Follow me. I know a short cut" Wayne said, turning left at the hall.
They ran only a few minutes then they came to the door. Wayne busted through the door and they raced across the grass. "If we cut through those trees we will get there a whole lot faster" Wayne called. About 4 minutes later they raced into the Cafeteria to find that it was normal activity as usual. Ingrid and Wayne exchanged glances. Had the anonymous caller been a phony? Had they just wasted their time coming here? Ingrid folded her arms as they looked around.
They walked further into the Cafeteria while examining things. Everyone seemed to be going about their normal business and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. "I think this one was a dud" Ingrid said. She couldn't believe some one would play with the Safety Patrol like that! Why did people like to mess with them so much? Why did they think that it was such a joke? Ingrid and Wayne stuck around for about an hour but nothing happened. Ingrid and Wayne headed for the door when all the lights went out. Everyone seemed to be talking at once in confused tones, trying to figure out what the heck was going on.
Ingrid frantically started feeling the wall for the light switch. She knew exactly where it was. Unfortunately she found that the switch had been broken. "Third." Wayne called to her in the darkness. Ingrid turned the way his voice was coming from. "Huh?" She asked. She felt someone put something in her hand and she was startled for a moment. "Third, Turn on your flashlight." Wayne instructed her.
Wayne and Ingrid turned on their flashlights and shined them around the place. "Look" Wayne said. Ingrid spun around and saw it too. A hooded figure had just grabbed O'Farrel. "STOP X MIDDLE SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL" Wayne and Ingrid yelled. The hooded figure took off with O'Farrel tightly embraced. Wayne and Ingrid dashed out after him. The figure dashed out of the cafeteria door and into the well lit hall. Ingrid and Wayne followed close behind. They weren't about to let this person get away.
Ingrid and Wayne had to ask themselves what on earth would someone want O'Farrel for? O'Farrel wasn't experienced in anything other than being a photographer. What was so important about O'Farrel? What did these people see in him?
"I'll head you guys off, stay on them" Ingrid said, turning down another hallway. Ingrid raced as fast as her legs would carry her down this hall. She hoped that this plan would work and they could bust whoever this was. Ingrid thought that they were close to solving this case and finding Fillmore. At least she hoped this was the criminal they were looking for. This was the only suspect they had at the moment, so it was going to be important for them to bust them.
Ingrid saw the main hallway and with a burst of speed raced towards it. She saw the hooded figure and Wayne racing for her. The criminal stopped dead in their tracks when they spotted Ingrid standing there. Wayne and Ingrid had caught them and they slowly moved in to grab them.
As they moved in closer the figure began to smile. They gripped O'Farrel tightly in a headlock and got into a fighting position. It really didn't look like this person was going to give up very easily. Wayne and Ingrid continued to move in on them. O'Farrel looked petrified at that moment. Ingrid could see the fear in his eyes as she moved in on the figure some more. To their surprise the figure actually started laughing at them. Why was being busted so hilarious to them? The figure bumped a tall trophy case, pouring the trophies out on top of Ingrid and Wayne.
The hooded figure started to dash away but Ingrid and Wayne got out. They once again started following them, but at a much faster pace this time. "Okay, that didn't work out the way it was supposed to" Ingrid said. Now they absolutely had to bring this person down, no questions asked.
"Any more bright ideas?" Ingrid asked, in a half humorous voice. At the moment Wayne didn't have any new ideas. "Give me a minute, I'll think of something" Wayne told her. He usually came up with some sort of trap which the suspects couldn't possibly get out of but right now he didn't have anything. What a time to go completely blank.
"Leggett" Ingrid called. He looked at her. "There are two splitting hallways ahead. I'll go ahead and make sure he doesn't turn, but goes straight." Ingrid said. Leggett started wondering why they would want the criminal to go straight. What the heck was down that hall? "What's down that...." Leggett started but Ingrid didn't let him finish. "Just do it. You'll see" She said, taking off once again down a separate hall way. She just hoped that it worked this time.
Ingrid joined them once again and made sure that the hooded figure went straight instead of turning to the right. "Now we'll stop them" Ingrid said, with a smirk on her face. O'Farrel struggled. The figure turned the corner and crashed into the wall.
"WHAT?" They yelled, when they saw the dead end. They realized they'd been tricked! The cloaked figure turned around growling at the both of them. How could he have been so stupid? He'd been at this school for a long time and he thought he knew the halls like the back of his hand.
"It's all over." Wayne said, as he and Ingrid closed in on him. "Your coming with us" Ingrid said. The cloaked figure backed up against the wall. It didn't look like they were going to go with them peacefully. "Wrong again Officers" The figure said. Wayne and Ingrid heard footsteps behind them. When they peeked behind them they found three more cloaked figures behind them. "Now" The first cloaked figure ordered. Suddenly they sprayed knockout gas in the air. They slowly slumped to the ground as their consciousness slipped away from them.
To Be Continued
A/n: Oh, could you guys help me out a little bit here? I'm having trouble identifying one of the characters. You know when they show Principal Folsom? Who is that guy that's always standing behind Principal Folsom? Who the heck is that guy? Plus I wanted to know if my story is anything like the Television show "Fillmore". Am I doing a good job? How would you guys rate it? 1-terrible or 20-terrific. Please help me out with these questions people. It's up to you guys...should I continue with the 3rd chapter or quit the story?
