Libby rummaged through her backpack for a moment before coming up with the DNA tracker. She handed it over to Jimmy. "What are you going to do?"
Jimmy didn't say anything as he flipped the tracker over and smiled a little. He pulled off the cover and grabbed the two large batteries. He set them on the ground as he pulled out the broken cell phone he had found in the sports car.
"Libby, I need your cell phone's batteries and a bunch of narrow dry sticks. Cindy, I need some live ones incase the dry ones won't work. Hurry!" Jimmy shouted while pulling the batteries out of the cell phone.
Libby tossed Jimmy her cell phone's batteries and jumped up and ran off to gather the supplies. Cindy followed her. Carl and Sheen looked on in utter confusion as Jimmy opened his backpack and began to fish through the various supplies he had collected on his journey.
"Come on, come on," he whispered while digging through some supplies he had stolen from the school. "Got ya!" he happily exclaimed as he pulled out the carton of cigarettes he had also gotten from the stolen car.
Libby and Cindy ran back and dropped their sticks in front of Jimmy. "What are you doing?" Cindy asked while she kneeled down next to Jimmy.
Jimmy pulled his pen laser out of pocket and took a moment to collect his thoughts. "Making a little distraction for the cops," he told her. He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to figure out exactly what to do.
"Alright, here we go," he muttered. Libby, Sheen, Carl, and Cindy kneeled down next to him as he got to work.
Jimmy laid the batteries next to each other on the ground. He took his pen laser out and gathered some of the dry twigs. Using the laser, he made a small hole in each of the batteries. Taking a deep breath and wiping the sweat from his brow, he carefully inserted the end of a dry stick into each of the batteries.
"Step one down," he happily said while taking the shoelaces out of his shoes. He then took a cigarette out of the carton. He put the cigarette in his mouth and bit off the bottom half. He tied the cigarette to the twigs (which he had bunched together). He made sure that only the bottom of the cigarette was attached to the twigs. Most of it extended off of the branches.
Jimmy pulled out his pen laser once again and sighed. "Commercial cigarettes burn approximately and inch every eight minutes," he started to explain while setting the laser's setting to the lowest possible.
"Unfortunately, the cops should be here in less than five. So I've made the cigarette half of its length," he continued while taking a nearby thick branch and lighting it.
"The cigarette acts as a time delay. In approximately four minutes the cigarette will burn down to the branches. The branches will get caught on fire. Within seconds the fire will enter the batteries. Batteries are composed of a highly flammable liquid. The batteries from my DNA tracker are a very powerful type. They will create a sizeable explosion. The cell phone batteries will also explode. By the time they explode, we'll be half a mile away. The cops will hear the explosion, run over to investigate, and leave us a perfect opening to escape."
Everyone nodded in amazement. Libby looked over at Cindy. "I would have thought of that eventually."
Jimmy smiled. "Unfortunately, the cops would have been here by nightfall."
"Watch it, Big Brain," Cindy angrily whispered, but a small smile spread across her face.
"Get ready to run," he said while moving the flame towards the cigarette on the ground. The cigarette began to smolder, starting the time delay. "Run! We've got four minutes to get as far away as possible!" Jimmy said while slinging his backpack over his shoulder and running off. The rest of the group followed.
