Chapter 11

Robbie saw the look on the girl's face. She just wanted to know if her friends were ok and if she was going to join them. He finally caved in. Robbie told her everything.

"That's what happened. Now the exit is over there. Leave before the police get here and arrest you for even being seen with me." Robbie said sullenly. Amanda said,

"Thank you Robbie. You did a very good thing today. My friends and I owe you a lot. I hope you don't leave. You know you're not the same Robbie Rotten I've heard about." That said she got up and started walking toward the exit.

Trixie, Pixel, Ziggy, and Stingy had searched all of LazyTown. Stephanie joined them. All feared that she hadn't made it out of Robbie's.

"This is my fault. I shouldn't have made her come with me. If something has happened to her…" Stephanie stopped. She saw Amanda crawl up from the ground. Quickly she rushed over to her friend.

"Amanda! What happened? Are you ok?" Stephanie flooded her friend with questions. It was then that Amanda helped someone up.

Robbie stood there looking at Stephanie. The girl threw her arms around him. He was unsure how to react. No one had ever given him a hug.

"Thank you Robbie. You saved my life. You saved Sportacus' life. How can I ever repay you?" She said. Robbie didn't know what to say. He squirmed out of Stephanie's grasp and looked at the girl.

"You don't have to do anything. Up until I saw the wedding band on Sportacus' finger, I was still going to go through with the plan. How can you thank me after all the horrible things I've done to you and Sportacus?" Robbie asked.

Stephanie lay next to Sportacus in bed. He was still asleep from earlier and she carefully placed her hand on his chest. Somehow the events of the day before still seemed so surreal to her. But she had actually had been sleeping for a change and everyone she cared about was safe. Stephanie gently kissed Sportacus' cheek. The sound of his steady breathing and heartbeat lulled her back to sleep.

Robbie grabbed up his suitcase. He would move away and start over. Stephanie had said that he was a changed person and he proved himself by saving her and Sportacus. Still he had killed a man. Nothing could change that. He may be good for saving people but saving them by killing someone else wasn't what he wanted. Somewhere inside he was still the mean nasty evil Robbie Rotten.

As Robbie left, something popped into his head. That girl that he conked over the head had said something about him being good. For some odd reason he couldn't get her out of his head. It wasn't like she was that attractive it was the fact that she seemed to be very understanding. What was her name? It bothered him and he decided that he would have to say something to her before he left.

Over in FunTown, a LazyTown police detective stood waiting for the doctor. The police had discovered Hăkon. Somehow he was still barely alive. They had rushed him to the FunTown hospital.

Now fresh out of surgery the doctor explained that Hăkon had been extremely lucky. The bullet had missed important internal organs and lodged into one of his ribs. However he had lost a lot of blood and it would still be touch and go for the next few hours. The detective asked when he would be able to talk and the doctor told him he'd call the precinct and let him know.
