Chapter 11

Sportacus and Robbie froze. They hadn't anticipated a third person being there. Both saw Jean Luc's dead body strapped to a chair and knew that this guy wasn't kidding.

Amanda heard the commotion outside the bathroom and tried to force open the door. The chair had been removed but now Hans and Henri's limp bodies were blocking it. Putting her weight against it she pushed, but the door refused to budge.

"Where is Amanda?" Robbie asked Froderick.

"The fat one? I'm not going to tell you. Besides this is the one I want." He answered. Sportacus clenched his fists, his large arm muscles tightening.

"You let her go. It's me you want." He told the Killer Shadows member.

"Trying to be all noble. How typical. It will be your stupidity that ends your world." Froderick sneered. "Soon it will be all over."

Hans had regained consciousness. Slowly rising to his feet he saw the situation and grabbed Robbie from behind.

"We have done it, brother Froderick victory is ours!" He shouted. Froderick threw Stephanie to the floor and aimed his gun at Sportacus' heart.

Trixie, Pixel, Stingy, and Ziggy looked all over LazyTown for their friends. Trixie had become nervous when no one answered the phone at the apartment. Walking over to the Mayor's house, Bessie told her that she hadn't seen Amanda or Robbie since earlier in the morning.

Getting her friends together, they combed the town. Now they decided to go to see Captain Dogooder. Upon arriving at the police station however, they learned that the Captain had been called out to the LazyTown Inn. Quickly the friends made their way to the hotel.

Sportacus didn't move. Froderick froze. He'd never seen someone just stand there and wait for what was about to happen. In that spilt second that he stopped, Stephanie kicked his ankles. Froderick fell and landed on the bed. He still had his gun and he decided to use it.

Amanda heard three shots ring out. Afraid that her friends might be dead, she heaved against the door one more time. The door budged with only Henri's unconscious body in the way. Stumbling out into the room, Amanda made a gruesome discovery.

Captain Dogooder heard the shots and sent his officers into the hotel. They went down the hall and busted into the room. Froderick had this horrible look on his face.

"You're too late. My task has been fulfilled." The crazy man raised his gun but before he could fire, one of the policemen shot him.

Hans stuck his hands in the air and Henri was pulled to his feet. The Captain radioed for an ambulance to get there as fast as possible while he tried to stop the bleeding. The officers picked up Stephanie. She was unharmed but upon seeing what had happened she collapsed. Amanda was kneeling down trying to help as best she could with only one good arm. An officer took her place and the EMT's rushed into the room. Loading heir precious cargo up onto stretchers they hurried to awaiting ambulances.

Amanda broke down and cried as another EMT helped her with her arm. She ignored the pain in arm, as it was quickly being replaced by the pain in her chest. The EMT helped her into a third ambulance that Stephanie was already in.

Trixie hung onto Stingy as they watched the ambulances rush away. Her sobbing was drowned out by the sound of the sirens wailing. Pixel stared in disbelief while Ziggy began to bite his nails since there was no candy available. What had happened and would things ever be the same?
