The next day Libby was sitting down in her hospital bed, shaking her head in amazement as she watched the TV in front of her. Half of her class was sitting with her.It was thelast day of school, and Ms. Fowl had scheduled a trip to for the class to see her. As usual, the cops had only allowed this many visitors if there were two policemen in the room. They sat in the corner, also staring at the television. Everyone sat in silence, amazed that Jimmy and Cindy's case had just taken another interesting twist.
As the screen changed from Bill's face to the anchorwoman, Libby grabbed her remote and flicked the TV off. Everyone remained silent for another moment, until Nick shook his head. "Well, didn't see that one coming."
Ms. Fowl smiled a little and shook her head. It had been hard for her to believe that Sheen had been able to kill Jimmy. And Cindy comitting suicide? Yeah right. That girl was way too tough for that.
Mrs. Fowl turned towards Libby. "How are you feeling?" she carefully asked, managing to suppress the brawking noise her Tourette Syndrome caused.
Libby looked up at her teacher. "I'm doing fine, Ms. Fowl."
Nick thought a moment before sidling over to Libby. Oh, what the hell. She's hurt, might as well give her a thrill. "So, Libs, when you get out of the hospital and jail, care to grab a shake with the N-Man?"
Just as Libby began to blush, there was a loud sound coming from the hallway. "Slow down!" they heard someone yell. Suddenly Sheen, in handcuffs once again, slid into the room.
"She's mine! Don't start with me, Nick!" he angrily shouted.
"Cool it, Shine," Nick said while spinning around and sitting on the bed besides Libby.
"My name is Sheen!" Sheen yelled while sitting on the other side of Libby. Just then Sheen's escort, another cop, came in.
"Don't run away from me again!" he said while wiping the sweat from his brow. "You got it from here?" he asked the two other cops. They nodded, and he left the room.
"How are you doing, Libs?" Sheen asked while patting her hand.
"Fine," she said while happily staring up at Sheen. "Where's Carl?"
An uncomfortable look came over Sheen's face. "He's, um, doing something for a guy."
"Ew," the class shrieked while gagging.
Sheen took a moment to realize what they were thinking. "Oh, no! Not that! The cops are making him clean up the cells."
"Oh," everyone said at once, clearly relieved.
"So, it's amazing about Jimmy and Cindy, huh?" Sheen asked.
Libby suddenly became angry. "Why did you tell me they were dead!" she shouted while hitting him.
"Hey!" Sheen shouted back as she knocked him off the bed. He quickly popped his head back up and sat back beside her. "It was part of the plan. The cops had to hear it."
"And what would the rest of that plan be?" one of the cops tiredly asked again.
Sheen stared at him like he was an idiot. "Oh yeah, now I'll tell you. Because you decided to ask one more time, now I'll tell you." He turned back to Libby and laughed while pointing with his thumb at the cop. "Man, they're pretty stupid, huh?"
Nick rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah, they're stupid."
Ms. Fowl stood up. "Well, I'm afraid we have to go, Libby. An hour is the most the school board would allow us to spend with a, uh, fugitive," she sadly said.
Everyone said their goodbyes as they left and headed back to the bus, eager for the twenty minute bus ride back to Retroville. "See you," Nick said while winking. He was the last one to leave the room.
"Hey! Hold it!" Sheen shouted while jumping up. He tried to chase after Nick, but Libby grabbed a hold of his arm.
"Easy there, Tiger," she whispered while pulling him back onto the bed. Sheen grumbled and stared after Nick for a moment, but finally relented and gave his attention to Libby.
"So," Sheen began, "how long until you get out of here?"
Libby smiled a little. "They say I'm making a pretty good recovery. The bullets didn't hit any major organs, luckily. Maybe two or three more days and I can join you guys in that cell."
Sheen hid his worry for her by smiling. "Hey don't worry. Jimmy and Cindy will clear our name by then."
Libby nodded, trying to convince herself that what Sheen had said was true. "You know their plan. Do you think it will work?"
Sheen thought for a moment, thinking back to when Jimmy had explained his plan to him. He stared at Libby, then at the cops in the room. Finally, he nodded his head. "I'd bet Ultralord himself that it will."
