A/N: Ok, I am so sorry for the really really really long wait for this next chapter (its nicoley117 speaking) and it was just that I was moving to a different state and I didn't have a computer to use to update the chapters for my friend. But she has written the last chapters so I'm going to post them all right now. Reviews are appreciated! So here's the chapter you all have really been waiting for! Sorry Again! Hope you can forgive me!

Chapter 13

Cindy gasped and turned around. Standing right in front of her was Eustace Styrch. Cindy looked confused.

"Eustace? I thought you said the murderer was a she."

"Oh, I did Cynthia," Eustace replied with a smirk on his face.

"Well who is it? Who's working with you?" Cindy demanded.

"Yes, yes, I shall come to that in a second," Eustace replied casually.

Jimmy was eying Eustace suspiciously. He always knew there was something weird about that guy. He just said the murderer was a she...yet there is no she here. You would think that whoever was working for Eustace would come out with him. Unless...she was planning a surprise attack. No, it was probably Beautiful Gorgeous, who was not known for surprise attacks. She liked herself to be known. So who was it then? If it wasn't Beautiful Gorgeous, then it had to be Eustace...unless...no it couldn't be...could it?

"WHO'S WORKING FOR YOU?" Jimmy shouted.

"Oh, people, always impatient. Very well, I guess I will tell you," Eustace replied, pulling something out of his pocket. It was a small machine that had two antennas coming out of it. Eustace turned some dials and pushed some buttons. The screen on the machine lit up and a band of purple electricity came between the two antennas.

"Eustace, w-what is that thing?" Cindy asked worriedly.

"This, my dear, is a little doohickey I like to call the Brain Washer 5000," Eustace replied, smiling curtly.

"The Brain Washer 5000?" Jimmy asked, puzzled.

"Yes," Eustace replied.

"And what exactly does it do?" Jimmy asked.

"Well, I'll tell you. This little device can make a human
do something that they don't recall doing. For example: if I point this thing at..oh say..Cindy here, and I press this button.'

Eustace pointed the glowing antennas at Cindy and pushed a button just below the bottom of the screen. Electricity of some sort shocked Cindy, causing her to shriek in pain. Her eyes rolled up in her head, and her mouth hung half-open. When the zapping stopped, Cindy's eyes came back, turning an eerie, glowing shade of red.

"Now, I just use these dials to control the body," Eustace continued.

He turned the knobs to the left and right of the screen, causing Cindy to walk in circles around the room.

"Now I just tell it what I want it to do, and presto! You have your very own human dummy. Pretty creative, don't you think?"

"If I'm following correctly," Jimmy said, "how did we not notice her leave the room?"

"Oh, that's easy. I just froze time!'

"Froze time?" Jimmy asked slowly.

"Exactly! See the Brain Washer 5000 also has the power to leave humans completely clueless of what's happening. Once it's over, the humans have no recollection of what happened, and it seems as though no time has passed. There you have it, freezing time."

"But why are you doing this?" Jimmy demanded.

"Simple," Eustace answered, smiling evilly, "revenge."

"Revenge from what?"

"Revenge from what? REVENGE FROM WHAT?" Eustace repeated, "I'll tell you revenge from what. You stole my glory. I was supposed to be the smartest and most important kid in Retroville. You stole my fame. I was supposed to be the greatest person in Retroville. AND you stole the love of my life! I was supposed have the love of Cindy Vortex!"

Jimmy was silent. He didn't know what to say. Sure he loved Cindy. He loved her with all of his heart. But he never imagined she'd love him back. Sure she liked him...but love? C-mon let's get serious here! Jimmy's thoughts were interrupted when he saw something glint out of the corner of his eye. Cindy was walking towards him, blood-stained knife in hand. Jimmy felt his heart quicken, pounding against his rib cage. His breathing was heavy. He felt as though his chest was going to burst. He had to fight back! He had to defend himself! OK, block, dodge, block. Were his arms even moving? He saw the knife glinting as it passed, narrowly missing his throat. Jimmy couldn't remember being more scared in his life. Suddenly there was a searing pain in his left arm, and Jimmy Neutron's world went black. Eustace stood above him and chuckled.

"See Neutron? I told you the murderer was a she."
