"Keely wake up!" Phil said shaking her.
"Wha… what? Phil what's going on?" Keely looked at him like he had a huge, hairy mole in the middle of his forehead.
"Get dress…. I'll show you." Phil said pulling her up and handing her the close from the night before.
"Phil… I have no clothes…" Keely said. She knew she couldn't wear the same clothes as yesterday.
"Okay hold on…" Phil ran into Pim's room and grabbed a magazine. He ran back to his room and handed it to Keely.
"Pick out an outfit." Phil said pulling out the Wizard. Keely flipped through the magazine.
"This one!" Keely said pointing to a girl with a pair of jeans and two layer tees on.
"Great choice." Phil said. He copied the outfit and pointed the Wizard at Keely. He hit a button and Keely was wearing the outfit from the magazine.
"That is so cool!" Keely said. She looked over at her shoulder and noticed the bruise was gone.
"Phil… my arm… look." Keely sounded excited.
"I know… I Wizard-healed it last night. Now we have got to go!" Phil reached for her hand but she drew it back quickly.
"Where?"
"I'm going to get you your next hard hitting story." Phil went for her hand again but this time Keely let him take it. They ran down the stairs and out to the back yard. Phil made sure Mr. Hacket was nowhere in site. He pulled a Sky-ak out from behind the bushes and started it up. Phil grabbed the helmets, the camera and Keely's lucky microphone out of the trunk.
"Here, you need these." Phil said handing a helmet and the microphone to Keely. She put the helmet on and held the microphone. Phil put the camera between himself and Keely. He began their journey into the not-so-unknown.
"Phil… what's going on?" Keely asked. She couldn't put together what he was doing.
"Remember Conner?" Phil asked with an evil grin on his face.
"Yea… but what does he have to do anything?" Keely still wasn't getting the big picture.
"Well apparently he does what he did to you wasn't his first time. I looked him up on the Giggle and he has another date with another girl tonight. I'm going to film him and you are going to report what's going on. It'll be the best hard hitting story ever! Plus we could turn him in to the police! Keel… you didn't think I'd let him hurt you did I?" Phil looked at the ground scanning for their target. Keely didn't know what to think. She was flattered by how much he cared but she was also scared about what could happen. She trusted Phil and knew he had thought it over, plus it could help other girls….
"Okay lets do it." Keely got into business mode. She took the helmet off and positioned the microphone perfectly under her chin. "How does it look?" Keely said. Phil turned around as best he could.
"Perfect…. Found him." Phil pointed down to the café parking lot. He was standing net to a tall, thin blonde girl. She was about eighteen and the most.
"Oh my God… Phil look…" Keely tightened the grip on the microphone. Scenes of the previous night flashed in Keely's head. It was so much clearer now. "Phil get the camera ready." Keely Held up three fingers then two then one.
"This is Keely Teslow reporting from the Café CoCo in downtown Pickford. Below us is Conner McBently. He is an under age drunk. He has been known to take young girls to parties with alcohol then physical assaults them if they refuse physical intimacy. We have caught him in the act tonight." Keely kept her grip as she looked over her shoulder. Phil zoomed in just as Conner tried to kiss the poor girl. She simply turned her head and took a step away. He stepped closer forcing her onto him. She pushed him until he was to far away for him to kiss her.
"What's your problem Tiffany? I thought this is what you wanted!" Conner threw his hands out into the air.
"No Conner. It's not. It's what YOU want. So get away…. Conner get away from me!" Conner grabbed the girl's arm and tried to pull her closer.
"No Tiffany. You've been leading me on all night. You know you want to. Why would you agree to go if you didn't?" Conner kept his grip on her arm despite the effort on her part.
"I only agreed to go because I thought it would help me get into college! Let me go Conner!" Tiffany pulled harder.
"My dad was going to let me decide if you got in. He's very busy and I offered to help. But now… your chances of getting in are zero." Conner let her arm go and kicked her to the ground. He got in his car and drove back to the party.
"There you have it," Keely said in a firm and sorrowful tone. "This is Keely Teslow saying tootles." Phil shut the camera off and lowered the Sky-ak. He his it and the equipment behind the café and cloaked it to match the building.
"We should help her Phil." Keely knew how it felt to be hurt and alone. She didn't want to see anyone else like that.
"Ok. Lets go." Phil grabbed Keely's hand and they ran to the front of the building.
"Hi. I'm Keely. This is Phil." Keely said to the girl. She was still on the ground. To afraid to get up. Keely offered the girl a hand. She took it and Keely pulled her up.
"Are you okay?" Keely asked.
"I don't know… this guy Conner…"
"We know. The same happened to me just last night. Phil and me caught him on tape. We're going to get him caught so he can't do this anymore. Where did he kick you?" Keely asked politely. The girl lifted her shirt about an inch and revealed a bruise the size of a person's foot… and the shape of one too.
"Are you gonna be okay?" Phil asked. He was afraid that the girl wouldn't trust her.
"Yea. Thank you two a lot for making sure I was ok. It means a lot. I hope you catch him." She waved and got into her car. She drove off and both Phil and Keely knew they had help some one after being hurt. Even though it meant a lot to Phil it meant a lot more to Keely because she knew how it felt. The same thing happen to her. She refused his commands and got sent to the ground. She had to pick herself up and muster up the courage to go to Phil without telling anyone. But he found a way to make her feel better.
