Chapter 10
Meeting Jazz and Her Plan
I flew through the streets on my sled, unseen in the darkness. All the while, thinking about what I had to do. Like last Summer (and no, I knew then it wasn't a dream) weighed my options. If I got the guy Vlad wanted, Morgan and I would be safe, but Danny might not be, explaining his panic and fear. If I didn't, me and Morgan would be in trouble, and Danny probably wouldn't be any better. Darn! This was an easy choice to make, but I didn't have a plan! I landed to think for a second. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I whirled around to face a tall girl with red hair wearing a black long sleeve shirt with aqua colored pants and a matching headband.
"Valerie, is-is that you? Oh Val, have you seen Danny? I can't find him anywhere and Mom and Dad are getting worried", the girl said, choking on tears. I didn't know who the heck Valerie was, but this girl looked afraid and worried.
Without thinking, I blurted out, "Look, I'm sorry, but I don't know who Valerie is, but I've got to get this guy for this other guy, Vlad Masters, or else my boyfriend and me will be dead teens walking, so I gotta…" I finally realized what I was saying and gasped, covering my mouth with both hands. The girl gasped and surprisingly to me, a look of realization appeared on her face.
"I should've known Plasmius was in on this, that's where Danny's at", the girl said, mostly to herself.
"Wait, Danny Fenton", I asked. At the same time we both blurted out different answers.
"He's my friend!"
"He's my little brother!" The girl smiled and said, "Hi, uh, Jazz Fenton, Danny's sister. You?"
"Hi, I'm Heather Beery, and I met Danny at my school dance the other night. But, that's not important right now. I'm after this guy, you seen him", I asked, holding up the picture Vlad gave me. Jazz's eyes widened.
"DAD", she exclaimed.
"He's your dad? No wonder Danny was panicking….Plasmius told me to get him and me and my boyfriend would be okay", I explained. Jazz's eyes narrowed and had the same fire in Danny's from earlier.
"So, that's Vlad's plan huh? Get rid of Dad through an innocent girl and get Danny to join him after he's killed", Jazz said to herself.
"Do you talk to yourself a lot", I asked.
"Uh, not really, just an old habit", Jazz explained nervously, blushing. "Now, tell me what happened, I think I can help", Jazz said, taking a seat next to me on the curb. I sighed and explained what had been happening over the past few days. Once I was done, Jazz smiled and put an arm on my shoulder. "Heather, I think I've got the perfect solution to the problem." Here was Jazz's plan; I'd kidnap Danny's dad, and, after understanding Vlad had a thing for Danny's mom, (ew!) I'd kidnap her too. Then I'd fly back and threaten to kill them both, unless Vlad and Syndrome let Danny, Morgan and me go. It was a pretty good plan in my opinion.
