Chapter 4: The Deed
Zim slammed on the breaks just in time to pull up in front of the laboratory. He grinned to himself, excited at the thought of finally getting Dib once and for all. He shut his eyes and imagined his body sprawling on the concrete, severely burnt from the destruction. Oh, how he loved it.
He then went to the trunk of his car and pulled out the timer and explosive canisters, ready to go to work.
Meanwhile, at the NASA station, Detective Chowley was inspecting the bloodied, pale body of one Roy Bergman, who was the janitor there, with two forensic workers.
"Chowley," one finally began, "it seems that this man was struck by some form of electricity that was as powerful as lightning."
"How so?"

"Well, when a person is struck by lighting, their skin gets quite pale and blood pours from their mouth."
"But this man has a bloody head." Chowley remarked looking at the corpse.
"Well, that just means that the electronic device struck his head," The other chimed in, "Look here," The worker then preceded to take his glove covered hands and lifted the man's head. There were indeed blood stains around the mouth.
"So he died by electrocution."
"Exactly," the other worker replied as he helped his partner discard of the body in a yellow bio-hazard bag, "now all we need to do is dust for fingerprints and compare them with those at the hospital."
At the lab, it was lunchtime and as Dib sat by the window, sipping his water, he saw a familiar figure walk towards the building in the distance. The figure seemed to be carrying stray wires and little bits of machinery. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it had green skin and a black, Elvis-like hairdo. Could it be? No! it had to be someone else..
"Zim?" he gasped in horror. His stomach did a summersault as he realized what Zim was holding in his arms: the ingredients to a bomb.
"Oh my god," he gasped and then raced over to table where his father was sitting and announced with a trembling voice, "Dad, there's something you should know."
