"So, you don't know exactly what you have to do?" Cindy asked as she sat across from Jimmy in his lab, taking a sip from her Purple Flurp.
He sadly shook his head. "Nope. I guess I just have to continue training and keep an eye on John. There's nothing else I can do, for now that is."
Cindy leaned back and thought for a moment. "You're certain that John is the enemy here?" she questioned.
"Positive."
"Well, why don't we just finish him off now? Just, you know, kill him in his sleep or something," Cindy softly suggested.
Jimmy stared at her in disbelief. "Cindy!" he shouted.
"What? I know it's cold, but there are billions of lives at stake," she told him.
So that's why he sent me that note. "Two problems. One, we'd be thrown in jail for the rest of our lives, or worse. Two, you know that vision I had today?" he asked her. Cindy nodded her head. "He gave me a slip of paper. It said not to kill him unless we are prompted to."
"So what do we do? Just sit here and wait for the world to be destroyed? That's insane!" Cindy yelled.
Jimmy couldn't help but smile a little. Not too long ago he had been like that. "Welcome to my world," he told her, laughing a little.
Cindy sat there for a moment, deep in thought. No wonder he was so miserable all the time. For the first time, Cindy understood the pain that Jimmy had gone through.
"Look, we're already changing the future just by being prepared. There's nothing we can do. I wasted two years waiting for something to happen, and it never did. We just have to train a little and wait until the time is right. Otherwise you'll go insane. Trust me on that," he explained as he thought back to a couple of years ago.
The two of them sat in silence for a few moments. As much as Jimmy tried to downplay it, they both knew that the entire world was at stake. And they still had barely any idea of how to save it.
Author's Note: And so ends book three. Will Jimmy and Cindy be able to save the world, or will John come to power and destroy it? Read book four to find out.
