"So, now what?" Cindy asked from the bathroom as she dressed up.
"Well, I guess we go see another one of my arch-enemies," Jimmy shouted as he took off his pajamas and changed into his usual clothes, which Jeeves had washed while he was asleep.
"Doesn't this sound like something that Professor Calamitous would do?" Cindy asked as she came out of the bathroom and walked over to the mirror on the dresser.
"Yeah, it really does. I think we should go see what he's up to after Libby drops off my inventions," Jimmy said as he walked over to Cindy. She was staring at a box full of earrings. "The emerald ones," Jimmy said as he went towards the bathroom to freshen up.
"Really?" she asked as she held them up.
"They match your eyes," Jimmy told her. "So, we'll do what we did here last night. Break in and try to gather some evidence," Jimmy said as he washed his hands and threw some water on his face.
"We should leave as soon as Jeeves brings the inventions back. We don't want to stay in one place too long or the cops might show up," Cindy said as she put the earrings on and studied herself in the mirror.
"You look perfect, Cindy," Jimmy said as he strolled by and kissed her on the cheek.
"Master Strytch has asked me to inform you that breakfast is ready in the dining hall," Jeeves told them as he entered the room.
"Thank you, tell him we'll be down in a moment," Cindy told him. Once he left the room Cindy turned towards Jimmy. "So, you ready to eat?" she asked Jimmy.
"Yeah, I'm starving. This will be the first real meal we've had in days," Jimmy told her as he grabbed her hand and they walked downstairs.
"Ah, James, Cynthia. I trust that you two had a good night's sleep," Eustace said as he took a bite of scrambled eggs.
"Thank you Jimmy," Cindy said as he pulled her chair out for her. "And yes, we had an excellent night's sleep," Cindy told Eustace.
"Easy for you to say, you got the bed," Jimmy mumbled.
"So, Cynthia, do you and Neutron have a plan conjured up?" Eustace asked.
"Why yes, Jimmy and I are going to see if we can gather some evidence against Professor Calamitous," Cindy told him. "We'll be leaving as soon as your butler gives us the inventions that he picked up from Libby."
"That's excellent. Here, you should take this. My father has plenty more," Eustace said as he slid the gun he had used on them last night across the table.
"Um, I don't think that," Cindy started.
"Cindy, we're dealing with a murderer here. It can't hurt," Jimmy said as he grabbed the gun from Cindy's hand and put it in his pocket. Eustace gave him a strange look.
"Well then, I'm glad that I could help," Eustace said as he stood up and placed his napkin on his plate. "If you'll excuse me, I have a polo match to attend. Perhaps we'll meet again, Jimmy Neutron," Eustace told them as he walked towards the front door. "Good-bye, Cynthia," he shouted back before he left the mansion.
"I still don't trust him," Jimmy whispered to Cindy as he finished his breakfast.
"You're just jealous," Cindy told him.
"Well, he doesn't have to sound so happy when he says your name," Jimmy grumbled.
After having breakfast Jimmy and Cindy walked into the parlor and found a giant plasma screen TV. "I suppose we should check the news to see if there's anything about us," Jimmy suggested as he grabbed the remote and turned the TV to CNN.
"In other news, James Isaac Neutron is still at large. James Neutron is the key suspect in the Retroville murders. Earlier this week the Retroville Police were given a warrant for his arrest. The local police and government agents pursued a fleeing Mr. Neutron. James tripped one of the agents and stole his gun. He then took a fellow classmate and friend of his, Cynthia Aurora Vortex, as a hostage. The two flew away on what James calls a hover car.
James and Cynthia disappeared for a few days. However, at around 8:00 p.m. last night James returned to Retroville. Details about this incident are few, but what we do know is that he jumped from his hover car and parachuted into another friend's house. He was seen exiting the house on foot with a backpack that he did not have with him before. The contents of this backpack are not known at this time. After police officers threatened to open fire James surrendered. Just then his hover car came barreling down at the officers. They jumped out of the way and James hopped into the car.
Some policemen say that the pilot of the hover car was none other than Cynthia Vortex. Footage caught by a civilian brandishing a video camera proved this statement. It is not known at this time whether Cynthia was threatened to pilot the hover car or did so of her own free will," the anchor reported. "The whereabouts of the two teens are still unknown," he finished.
Jimmy turned the TV off and turned to Cindy. "Jeez, did he have to use air quotes every time he said hover car?" Jimmy asked.
"At least they don't know where we are," Cindy said. "Man, now they think that I'm a criminal too," Cindy said sadly.
"You can still get out of this. You can still clear your name," Jimmy suggested yet again.
"Jimmy, now this is even more personal. He's made me out to be the bad guy too. If anything, I want to fight him more," Cindy told him as she left the room and went to get a drink.
A few hours later Jeeves walked up to them and handed Jimmy a duffel bag. "I believe this is yours, Master Neutron," he said. "I believe this also belongs to you." He motioned to the door as Goddard ran in.
"Goddard! I'm so happy to see you!" Jimmy shouted as he kneeled down on the floor and played with his best friend.
"You are really dating this young man?" Jeeves asked Cindy as she got up and stood by his side. They both stared at Jimmy rolling around the floor and rubbing Goddard's stomach.
"I'm afraid so," Cindy said while chuckling a little, glad to see Jimmy happy again.
"I'm very sorry," Jeeves told her.
"Me too," Cindy said as she put her head in her hands and left the room.
