CHAPTER 12
Title: Granddaddy and niece talk
While Jimmy was all that time searching for Cindy, and Sheen and Carl were training, the same day, Professor Calamitous and her 'niece' were having a huge and warm talk. If you could say it was a warm talk. They were sitting together in a cold and very poor lighted room, each other between a cold and metalish table, and their chairs were also cold and metalish, so they were freezing their butt.
"W-where's mom?", Cindy asked looking around.
"Oh, she had to do some work...", Calamitous said, but he changed the subject. "Listen to me carefully, young girl. This is serious. You are in danger", he warned.
Cindy couldn't believe it. "I'm WHAT?", she asked, incredously. She was starting to get a bit scared.
"This kid, Neutron, and his friends... uhhh...", he said, but he slapped his forehead. "Duh... I can't remember their names...", he shook his head in dissapointment.
"Libby... Carl, and Sheen, what about them?", Cindy asked.
"They're purely and entirely evil! To US!", Calamitous yelled, extending his arms. "They're using YOU. They want you to become part of them, so they can travel and have... uh...", he grumbled at the last part.
"Adventures?", Cindy corrected.
"Yes! Exactly, but those 'adventures'", he said, while putting enphasis to the word, "those are not adventures. You see, my job is to destroy them at any cost. They're not playing, this is serious... uhhh...", he said.
"Stuff?", she corrected again.
"Stuff, yeah...", he said while showing her a plaque. "I'm from a special part of the government, who sent me to this cave and to make me investigate those kids. I've been working through them, since that... accident with aliens".
"What accident?", Cindy asked.
"You know that! Neutron sent a sattelite-toaster to those aliens and the aliens came and took us, the parents, to give us as food to their god, Poultra, a giant... urr... help me here", Calamitous explained, vaguely remembering.
Cindy didn't listen a word he said, but she looked at the plaque. It was one that she couldn't distinguish of a real one, because of the colors that were affecting her eyes in the place she and Calamitous were. And his story was so unbelievable, she had to get proves.
"You still don't believe me, do ya?", Calamitous asked.
Cindy, innocently, shook her head.
"It's understandable. You were all this years stuck with this people, you completely forgot. Let me refresh your memory for a second", Calamitous said, chuckling.
He snapped his fingers, and a black dressed man came, taking Cindy by thearm, and dragging her to another room, this one more dark than the other. Calamitous showed a little later. Obviously, as Cindy noted, his short legs weren't helping at all to move in this place. The black man forced Cindy to sit in a chair, and he chained her with the shackles the chair had at both sides. He also chained her feet. And he was holding her head still to prevent her to move it. She was completely inmobilized.
"Sorry, but I had to do this. I don't want your whole 'I-don't-believe-your-crap' act just to turn against me", Calamitous warned, pointing a reprehending finger at her. "But, because of you, I'm going straight to the point".
He pushed a button in a remote control, and a huge monitor appeared, its way going down slowly. It showed a stopped video, also showing only a long slope and the silhouette of what appeared to be a... bike. Cindy didn't knew what that meant, but flashes came through her brain while she was struggling to get out of the chair. Shetighted her teeth... she used all the strength she got... she closed her eyes. But the flashes kept going and going on her head.
"What's... this?", she asked, angry, stilltighting her teeth.
"Oh, something I recorded to show you how much Neutron loves you", Calamitous explained. "Turn off the lights!", he screamed to another black dressed men.
"The lights are already off, you idiot!", Cindy yelled, getting more angry.
She was right. Calamitous shook his head. "It doesn't matter. OK! Play that movie!", he yelled.
As the movie played, it showed Cindy going down the slope, her bike getting out of control and dissapearing of the scene, and behind her, Jimmy was yelling something unaudible while he was flying in his hovercar. His face showed concern. The hovercar was shooting a strange blue ray, before Jimmy flew off the scene.
"Now, as you can see, those blue rays were pushing your bike. It was not an accident", Calamitous said. "Neutron caused the accident", he stated.
"No... No... This can't be! Not Jimmy!", Cindy said, and she tried to shook her head, but the black dressed man was holding her with a lot of strengh.
"Oh, boo-hoo!", Calamitous mocked. "Now, what do you say? Do you believe me? Or not!", he said, getting more closed to Cindy. He climbed Cindy's body to get to her face.
Cindy's eyes and face were covered in tears. "I... I believe you...", she cried.
