Chapter 15
Robbie dropped the candles. He had known that maybe this moment would come but he wasn't entirely prepared for it.
"You are a backstabber and I intend to see that you get what you deserve but first you will do something for me." Hăkon said.
"No I won't. You're crazy." Robbie retorted.
"Oh, I think you'll change your mind when this girl takes a bullet for you." Hăkon said calmly as he pointed the gun that the enforcer gave him at Amanda.
"Ok. What do you want?" Robbie asked him. Hăkon threw a roll of duct tape he'd stolen from the hospital custodian at him.
"Tape her to the stool. Then you're going to help me get Sportacus." The villain told him. Slowly Robbie taped Amanda to one of the kitchen stools. He mouthed the words I'm sorry to her and then Hăkon grabbed him.
"We're going to force Sportacus to make a decision and I bet I know which one he'll make." He told Robbie.
At that moment, Number Nine came out into the kitchen. Quickly he barreled toward Hăkon and Robbie. He didn't see the gun. Somehow he saw the hero coming and was able to avoid him. The villain stuck his foot out and tripped him. Pointing the gun in between Number Nine's eyes he said,
"If you don't want to die, I suggest you don't try anything stupid." To Robbie he said,
"I have a better idea. Sit down on the stool next to the girl." Turning to the hero he instructed him to tape Robbie to the stool. After that Hăkon taped Þórir's hands behind his back.
"Come on. There's someone dying to see us." The villain laughed maniacally as he led the hero out of the house and out into the front yard.
Sportacus was standing there. His crystal had gone off and he knew that things were very ugly over at the Mayor's.
"No more screwing around. You know what I want so why don't you just give it to me!" Hăkon shouted.
"I don't think so. There's too much at stake for me to give in to you. Besides I like my body the way it is." Sportacus retorted.
"Then you leave me no choice. Say goodbye to your father." Hăkon replied. His finger started to squeeze the trigger but he didn't get to finish. Stephanie whacked him over the head with Sportacus' baseball bat.
"Didn't someone tell you? We work together." She said. Sportacus came over and ripped the tape off his father.
"Thank you son but we have to get into the house. I'm afraid Robbie and Amanda are a little tied up." Number Nine said.
"I'll watch Hăkon while you guys get them out of their mess." Sportacus said as he lifted the unconscious villain off the ground. Stephanie and his father ran back inside to see if Robbie and Amanda were ok.
"I hope they're ok out there." Amanda said.
"If everything went according to plan they should be fine. Don't worry. I didn't hurt you did I?" Robbie asked.
"Apart from being taped to a chair, I'm ok. You know we should do something fun for a change." Amanda suggested. That's when Stephanie and Þórir came in.
"I take it everything went well." Robbie said to them.
"Oh yeah, Captain Dogooder is coming to pick up Hăkon and we should be rid of him." Stephanie sounded almost ecstatic. Number Nine finished getting the tape of the pair.
