CHAPTER 18
Title: Confusion
"Libby, w-what are you doing here?", Jimmy was shocked.
Libby, who was standing a few feet far from them, took out what looked like a cell phone. "Yeah, we've found them. I repeat, we've found them", she said through the phone. She hang up her cell, and then, she looked at behind of her. "You may come in, Sasha".
All the faces, except of Beautiful Gorgoeus, who was still unconcious on the floor, looked at Libby, then at a figure approaching. The figure came visible into the light to reveal Mrs. Vortex and the sound of gasps could be heard.
"Mrs. Vortex?", Jimmy exclaimed.
"Oh, no... we're doomed", Calamitous looked at the floor, with grief.
"Wow! So, she's your real mom, eh? Do you know if she has a boyfriend or something?", Jet added, as he brushed a hand over his hair to make it look better.
"What? M-mom?", Cindy exclaimed.
"Libby! Get her out of here! We don't know if there's any guard who could still harm us!", Jimmy yelled.
Libby smiled. "Don't worry, Jimmy! I brought the police! I was worried, so I snuck up into your lab for some information, and I saw you found Cindy", she said.
"You brought WHAT?", Calamitous said, looking at Libby with an angry glare.
"What you have heard, you horrible, horrible man!", Sasha shouted at Calamitous, making this one shrink under his shoulders. She approached at Jimmy and Cindy on the stage. "My darling-", she smiled but it quickly faded out because Jimmy interrupted.
He lifted his free right hand to stop Sasha from approaching. "We may have a problem, Mrs. Vortex. Cindy is confused and perhaps she could not recognize you", Jimmy explained. "You see, she even tried to kill us all, specially me", he added. He looked at Sasha, then, he looked with a glare back at Cindy, who was still floating in the air thanks to his watch. "I don't know how much this batteries will resist, but I hope they will take long".
Sasha was on the verge of tears. One of them escaped from her eyes. She looked at Cindy, and tried to deny it by moving her head to the sides. "No, no... impossible", she murmured. "Not my baby!". She stepped back a few times, and she tripped with Beautiful Gorgeous, who surprisingly woke up.
Beautiful was still holded by Jet. "Ugh... what happened?", she lookedaround. "Hey! What is this? Why am I handcuffed?", she asked, confused. "And who are you?", she asked also, when she looked at Sasha.
"You... you... MONSTER!", Sasha screamed. "You tried to turn my girl into a killer, don't you?".
Sasha smacked Beautiful Gorgeous hard in the face. Beautiful only snarled at her, and spitted some blood. A punch hit Beautiful hard in the face again.
"Wow, wow! Take it easy, woman!", Jet stopped Sasha from keep smacking Beautiful.
Sasha was going to cry, but something happened.
"Oh, no! The batteries on my watch are very low! I won't keep Cindy more time in the air!", Jimmy shouted.
Calamitous and Beautiful watched with an evil smile as the blue ray on Jimmy's watch faded, and Cindy fell to the floor with a small bump. Jimmy took a few steps back. Cindy slowly got up from the floor. She was crying because of her anger, her breaked heart, because of her pain of suffering and trying to kill her own truly friends.
"Mommy!", she said as she ran to her mother and embraced her.
Both mother and daughter cried. Beautiful and Calamitous smiles faded.And all the crowd present exclaimed an 'AWW! How sweet', except for Jimmy. This one crossed his arms under his chest and walked a few steps away, angry. When Cindy and her mother pulled away, she ran to catch Jimmy.
"Jimmy... I... I-I'm sorry...", she said as fresh tears ran through her cheeks. "All I've heard of those two losers was a full bunch of bullshit!", Cindy yelled, making her hands formed in fists.
Jimmy still looked away from her. "You were convinced by Professor Calamitous that I was the brain of an organization of evil persons who tried to take over the world and make you one of them. Am I wrong?", he asked.
"Y-yes...", Cindy nodded, slowly. Her jaw was shaking, like if she was going to cry again.
"You tried to kill me and my friends, right?", he asked, still not looking at her.
"Yes...", Cindy nodded again, slowly. She looked down at the floor as another few tears appeared on her face.
"Then stay the hell out of my way", Jimmy said as he walked away from her.
If Cindy thought Jimmy would be the kind of guy who would forgive her so easily, then she was wrong.
