SIN

Chapter 19: Darn it!

(3pm at the Hospital)

"So you remember being dragged into the alley?" Detective Martin English asked.

"Yes," Wally responded.

"But you don't remember much else except that the attacker was male, stronger than you since he was able to subdue and well…do this, and that the rape itself along with the beat up happened and was extremely painful?" Detective English asked.

"Yes," Wally said again, "the rest is either a blank or too blurry to identify," he added.

"And you said the voice of the perpetrator is too distorted in your memories for you to identify," Detective English recalled, "well Wally I have to be honest with you," he said with a sigh, "this isn't much to go on."

"But it's all I remember," Wally protested.

"I know kid," Detective English said and rubbed a hand into tufts of Wally's blonde hair, "we'll our best to find this twisted perp, okay?" he added and smiled sadly at Wally.

"Whatever," Wally muttered; it was obvious that he was upset.

"I'm really sorry kid," Detective English said and left.

"Everyone is sorry," Wally said softly himself, "except for the fucker who did this," he continued angrily, "he's probably excited that he's still free," he added hatefully.

(Meanwhile at a Wrestling Match)

"Get him! Kill him Murdernator!" Lizzie screamed as she watched the wrestlers wrestling.

She still had some hidden anger from Hoagie's phone call. But nothing like a wrestling match to make her feel better and imagine herself beating Hoagie to a pulp and leaving him twisted like a pretzel.

"Boo!" a male voice cried, "the redhead Winninator is better!"

"Oh shut up!" Lizzie cried angrily and turned to face the guy who shouted that, "never mind!" she squeaked after seeing who it was and quickly sat down with her heart beating fifty thousand times a second.

She always knew that it could happen. It had happened before. But this time she just saw an ex-KND member who was on a list of members she never wanted to see again. Herbert Johnson a.k.a. Herbie; agent Numbuh 63.5 who used to be a Code Red Messenger when he was a KND member. She remembered the day when he nearly died and all she knew was that he was fitted with prosthetics. She had visited him once two days after he went to the hospital. But one month after the incident, he was removed because he could no longer do (any) agent work and his memories of the KND were erased. And since he only knew Lizzie through the fact that she was Numbuh One's (Nigel Uno) girlfriend and also that she had flirted with him to get mission information while Nigel was away (this actually happened in the episode where Nigel got tied up by the football team; and stuffed into a locker, that Chad joined after escaping being decommissioned by the KND- I'm talking about the flirting part); he wouldn't remember her now that he wasn't a KND agent anymore.

"I'm going to go home as soon as this breaks," Lizzie muttered, "I'm not going to wait until we actually buck up into each other," she added with a shudder.

Half an hour later when there was a break for snacks, Lizzie quickly headed for the exit. But then a hand grabbed her shoulder and she turned around fearfully.

"Nigel?" Lizzie asked in surprise.

"Hi Lizzie," Nigel responded formally.

"Um, I never knew that you were a wrestling fan," Lizzie said as she tried to make conversation despite that fact that she felt uncomfortable conversing with her ex-boyfriend.

"He's not," Herbert spoke up and Lizzie looked beyond Nigel to see Herbert standing not too far away, "he came with me because he knows that I love it," he explained.

"Oh," Lizzie said in realization, "so you two are friends," she said.

"You can say that," Herbert responded and Lizzie raised an eyebrow.

"Ahem," Nigel said loudly, "where do you recognize Herbert from?" he asked Lizzie seriously.

"Uh nowhere," Lizzie immediately lied.

"I know when you're lying Lizzie," Nigel admonished her.

"Well, he's the teenager who was nearly killed by those crazy pirates a few years ago isn't he?" Lizzie asked as she pretended to be uncertain, "I was just surprised to see him um, so well," she added.

"What am I supposed to be?" Herbert snapped, "paralysed?"

"Of course not!" Lizzie cried in horror.

"Then what?" Herbert demanded angrily.

Lizzie felt even more fearful. She didn't know how much longer she could continue like this without cracking. Then she remembered that she was leaving.

"I have to go!" Lizzie cried and hurried out the exit before either boy could her.

(One Hour Later at the DCFDTL Mansion)

Father sat at the dinner table with a nervous Fanny, an annoyed Alexander, a subdued Taylor and a quiet Mary Jane. Greta had obstinately refused to eat anywhere but her room. Father told she'd have no lunch or dinner if she stayed up there. She refused to listen and just like lunch, she'd be without dinner.

"I'm sorry about the change of plans Fanny," Father apologized to the redhead, "but with my son Lenny being missing," he continued, "I can't allow anyone to leave the house," he told her.

"Oh that's okay," Fanny said with a nervous smile, "I get to meet Alexander's guardian and friends," she said with forced happiness.

"Instead of being able to just leave the house," Alexander grumbled.

"You can stay indoors for longer," Father threatened softly but seriously.

"Is there any news on Chad's location?' Mary Jane asked in hopes of changing the subject.

"Chad can take care of himself," Father said dismissively, "his parents are used to him running off at random."

"It's not like they would go anywhere together," Taylor spoke up, "they HATE each other," he declared.

"Yeah," Fanny agreed, "even more than Alexander and I hated each other," she added and for the first time loosened up and laughed.

But Father wasn't laughing. The fork that he held in his hand dropped with a clank into his plate.

"No he…they…this wouldn't happ…" Father muttered softly, "oh shit!" he cried and hurried out of the dining room.

"Fanny!" everyone else at the table except Fanny cried after a moment of silence.

"What?" Fanny demanded, "it's not like they're both gay," she spat and started to eat.

But Fanny stopped when what she had just said and Father's earlier reaction finally processed into her brain.

Fanny then immediately fainted.

Done.
