Chapter 13
Robbie donned his police officer disguise again. Climbing back to the surface he lifted the lid of the tube. His hand slipped and he let go of the lid. Robbie's other hand got caught between the lid and the base.
"Yow!" He screamed. Then pulling his hand out he managed to lift the lid and got out.
"I meant to do that." He said to himself. Then he headed over to the kids playing hide and seek.
"Hello Officer!" Stephanie smiled at him.
"Hello! Which one of you is Stephanie?" He asked.
"That's me. Why?" Stephanie asked. The "Police Officer" pulled her aside and said,
"Sportacus is in need of your help. Can you come with me? I'll take you to him." At the mention of Sportacus in need of her help Stephanie immediately agreed to follow him. Not wanting to panic her friends Stephanie told them she'd be back soon. Robbie smirked on the inside. Stephanie had fallen into his trap.
Sportacus was up in his airship rifling through his fruit and vegetable supply. He wasn't sure what he was looking for. That's when his crystal went off.
As soon as Stephanie and the "Police Officer" were out of sight from the kids, Robbie covered Stephanie's mouth with a rag. The rag contained some chloroform and it quickly made Stephanie pass out. He carried her to his home and dumped her limp body down the tube into his lair. Once she was down there, Robbie locked her into a cage. He knew that Sportacus would be on his way.
Sportacus saw Stephanie in a cage and he immediately tried to spring into action. However it had now been at least two days without any sleep and his body refused to move as quickly as he wanted it to. Cursing in Icelandic, Sportacus forced his body to obey. He jumped down the ladder and headed off towards Robbie's lair.
When he reached the lair he saw a note attached to lid of the tube. The note read:
"Sportacus,
If you ever want to see your precious Stephanie ever again, you will leave LazyTown. First you must publicly announce that you have caused the children's sleeping problems. Then you have to announce that you will leave LazyTown and not come back. Only after I'm satisfied will Stephanie be released. Don't even try to tell the Mayor or the police. If you do…"
Sportacus couldn't believe what he was reading. Stephanie was in big trouble. But what was he going to do? If he didn't listen to Robbie there was no telling what he might do to Stephanie.
Stephanie rolled over and felt something next to her. No it wasn't something, it was someone. That someone was in fact Sportacus. She noticed that he didn't have a shirt on. Then she looked at herself and noticed neither did she. Then Sportacus stirred beside her and pulled her close. He whispered into her ear, "I love you." He then pulled her closer and she brushed her hands along his giant pectorals. Things were just about to get very interesting when Stephanie sat up.
When she sat up, Stephanie conked her head on the top of the cage. Confused, why she bumped her head Stephanie looked around. She recognized the place as Robbie Rotten's lair. Then she saw the big orange fuzzy chair turn around. Robbie had a hideous look on his face as he got out of his chair and came over to her.
"You're just in time to watch your world crumble."
