CHAPTER 9

Title: Looking for Cindy

"Okay, so, here's the plan".

Jimmy called Sheen and Carl and they inmediatly got to Jimmy's lab as fast as they could. Another mission, just like old times.

"We've got to make Cindy remember things. I don't know if we have much time, and I still don't know if the brain damage is severe or not. I'll find the data with VOX as long as we bringCindy here and we run a test on her", Jimmy explained.

"Did you know what he said, Carl?", Sheen asked.

"I have no idea...", Carl shook his head.

"Argh!", Jimmy said, as he slapped his forehead. He took a breath before he spoke again."We find Cindy and we run a test, ok?".

"Ok", Sheen and Carl nodded this time.

"Sheen, you go to Libby's house and you tell her to come in here. And Carl, you just bring Cindy here. I'll prepare the test programs on VOX", Jimmy commanded.

Twenty minutes later...

"Why are they taking it so long?", Jimmy thought, pacing back and forth, pretty nervous.

Sheen was the first to enter the lab along with Libby. "Hi, Jimmy! Sorry I got late. It was hard to convince my Queen to go in here".

"Ok, you'll explain details later. VOX is ready. Now, where's Carl?", Jimmy asked, looking around.

"I don't know", Sheen shrugged.

Jimmy, Sheen and Libby crossed the street and they rang the doorbell on the Vortex's house. Mrs. Vortex opened the door.

"Hi, Liberty!", Mrs. Vortex greeted. She looked at Jimmy and Sheen, who were giggling at the sound of 'Liberty'. "What can I do for you?", she asked.

"Uhm, we're looking for Cindy. Is she available?", Libby asked.

"She's in her room. She's sleeping right now. But I'll wake up her for you. Come on in", she said, as she motioned Libby to enter. "Oh, and could you guys do me a favor?", Mrs. Vortex replied, as she pointed at Jimmy and Sheen.

"Yes, madam?", Jimmy asked.

"Could you please get your fat-ass friend out of my house?", Mrs. Vortex commanded, very angry.

Jimmy and Sheen stared at Mrs. Vortex in awe, then they looked at each other and then, they looked back at her.

"It depends, where is he?", Sheen asked.

"He's eating in my kitchen all my cookies, my waffles, my cereal and my dinner, all at the time", Mrs. Vortex said.

The guys gulped. Mrs. Vortex motioned Jimmy and Sheen to enter and she pointed at Carl sitting at the table, eating. There weretwo plates of bacon eggs left in the table. The other was an amout of dirty plates.

"Carl!", Sheen yelled.

"Mmmhwhat!", Carl said. "Oh, hi".

"Carl, I told ya to bring Cindy to my la-- err, house! Why didn't you do what I said?", Jimmy asked, very carefully and trying to not to mention the word 'lab', knowing Mrs. Vortex.

"I knowmh, but she said Cindy was asleep and she offered me a cookie and--", Carl said.

"GUYS!", Libby yelled from Cindy's room.

Jimmy, Sheen and Mrs. Vortex ran upstairs to Cindy's room. They found a terrified and worried Libby, as they found also Cindy was missing from her bed. The lights were on and the window was open.

"Cindy's not here... I don't know where she is...", Libby said.

Mrs. Vortex fainted.
