"Don't worry, Martin, you'll be safe with me," Trent promise. "I'll protect you."
"Thank you, my friend." Martin smiled.
"Who's gonna keep the gem though?" Brianna asked.
"I'LL DO IT!" Cindy raised her hand.
"No!" Everyone else yelled at her.
"I will handle the gem," Jo decided. "Besides, I need to look up more information on it."
"Jo, you can trust me..." Cindy grinned eagerly.
Jo grabbed Cindy and held her close. "What's wth you, Cindy?"
"Nothing?" Cindy muttered out.
"You want the gem all to yourself, don't you?" Jo asked.
"Uhhh... No?" Cindy replied nervously.
"Cindy?" Jo asked.
"No!" Cindy looked the other way.
"Cindy...?" Justine asked.
Cindy looked away again. "Uh-uh..."
"CINDY!" Everybody yelled.
"No, uh-uh." Cindy chuckled nervously.
"We'll need to keep an eye on her too..." Brianna whispered.
Trent nodded in agreement.
"Just let me hold it..." Cindy reached for the gem and took it, then stared at it as her eyes glowed. "Oohhh... Beautiful..."
Jo grabbed the gem back. Cindy in response hissed at the jockette.
"CINDY!" Jo scolded.
"Sorry..." Cindy mumbled out.
"I'll keep this, Elvis, you keep the lizard." Jo said.
"Gecko." Martin corrected.
"Whatever." Jo said.
"You got it, Jo," Trent agreed. "Where are we going now?"
"HQ," Jo replied. "We need to tell Four Eyes about this."
"Jo, that's highly offensive..." Cindy pouted.
"Aw, hush, you know I mean it in a good way..." Jo glared.
Cindy hummed, then lay back down in the backseat to sleep the trip away so she wouldn't get carsick.
"At least I wasn't with Kashier." Martin said.
"Who's that?" Justine asked.
"The stack of money with the googly eyes." Martin explained.
"Oh, that..." Brianna winced. 'It always gives me the creeps."
"I always feel like somebody's watching me~..." Cindy trembled under her blanket.
"I know, he always gives me the chills." Martin agreed.
"I can't believe they thought that would be a good idea to advertise their insurance." Brianna shivered. "I visit haunted houses all the time, but that's just totally creepy!"
"I like the commercials where they ask rhetorical questions," Justine said. "That always gets a laugh out of me until they started showing that pig, he was cute at first, but then he got annoying."
"I always wanted to meet the caveman," Trent said. "He seems cool."
"He wasn't too bad, now that TV Show spin-off..." Martin shuddered. "Don't get me started."
"It was awful." Sky nodded.
"Eh... I've seen worse..." Jo shrugged. "But it shouldn've have become a TV Show."
Cindy sat up suddenly and crossed her legs, squeaking and fidgeting. "Uh, Jo, can you make a rest stop, please?"
"Why?" Jo asked.
"I gotta go real bad!" Cindy yelped.
"Now?" Jo groaned. "Ugh, I keep tellin' ya to stop ordering a Sprite to drink!"
"I can't help it!" Cindy whined. "In case I eat too much, it soothes my stomach... And weakens my bladder."
"Fine, but ONE STOP!" Jo warned.
"Yaay..." Cindy weakly smiled.
Jo found an incoming gas station and stopped at it.
Cindy hopped out of the mobile and went to the restroom, but saw it was crawling with bugs and had a bad smell. "Uhhhh..."
"HURRY UP!" Jo scolded.
"I'M TRYING!" Cindy called back with a whine.
"Well, then hurry up!" Jo urged.
"Guh..." Cindy tried to look for a decent stall, she put down several sheets of toilet paper around the seat and then sat down.
"Don't worry, Chameleon," Jo said to their new friend. "We're gonna get to the bottom of this."
"Gecko." Martin corrected.
"Whatever..." Jo shrugged. "Besides, you're safe with us."
"Thank you for doing this for me." Martin said.
"Don't worry, once we see Dexter, things will be fine again." Sky promised.
"Ugh, Cindy better hurry up..." Jo checked the time.
Cindy was now washing her hands with her pocket hand sanitizer, then walked out and joined in the backseat, getting some sleep again.
"Okay, let's go!" Jo drove again.
"We're gonna protect you no matter what." Justine said to Martin.
Martin smiled to them.
"Get some rest, you look like you need it." Trent told him.
"Thank you all very much..." Martin said before starting to doze off.
"I wonder who's after him." Martin said.
"We'll find out, don't worry, we got this." Trent smiled to her.
Brianna smiled back.
Jo drove her mobile in the League parking lot and came out with everyone. "Cindy, wake up... Cindy? CINDY!"
Cindy smiled as she was fast asleep.
"CINDYYYYYYYYYY!" Jo yelled.
Cindy groaned and put her pillow over her head.
"Tickle, tickle, tickle." Jo tickled her feet.
Cindy giggled and woke up, then sat up. "Aw, no fair, I was having a wonderful dream..."
"Come on, we gotta meet Dexter..." Jo grabbed her hand and yanked her out of the mobile.
"Aww..." Cindy pouted.
The others came into the League and everyone who was inside welcomed them back.
Maxwell was at his laptop. "Hey, Cindy, after you meet Dexter, come over here, I got something I wanna show ya!"
Cindy smiled, but followed the others to Dexter's office. "So, uh, who's gonna tell him?"
"Please allow me." Martin volunteered.
"Oh, if you don't mind..." Cindy said to the gecko.
"I insist..." Martin said, then took out the gem. "One of you hold onto this for me?"
"Oh, I would be honored t-" Cindy walked over.
Jo grabbed her, picked her up, and threw her over her shoulder, then took the gem. "I'll keep a hold of this for you."
"Thank you very much." Martin said.
"No problem at all." Jo promised.
"Now, which way to Dexter?" Martin asked.
"Just down that hall and the first door on the right, you can't miss it." Justine told him.
Martin nodded, then scampered off to meet the boy genius.
"Come on, Babe," Jo stepped on top of Cindy's stomach while walking off with the others. "Let's check out the gym."
"Goody!" Justine smiled eagerly.
Cindy groaned in pain.
"Dexter, there's someone here to see you." Dawn informed the boy genius.
"Send them in, please." Dexter replied.
"Go ahead, little fella." Dawn told the gecko.
Martin nodded, then crawled inside, then came on top of Dexter's desk.
Dexter blinked in surprise. "Hello there."
"Hello, are you Dexter?" Martin asked.
"That would be me," Dexter greeted. "Boy genius at your service."
"Pleasure to meet you," Martin said. "Your members have saved me from these awful men who were chasing me from a gem I recovered, they already took my brother, I plan to go back for him, but I'm badly shook up right now."
"Tell me about it." Dexter requested.
"Very well." Martin agreed. He then told Dexter everything and how thankful he was to have the help he had received.
Cindy straightened her back out, then came to Maxwell's side. "Okay, so, what's up?"
"Check this out." Maxwell put his laptop in her lap to show her a ViewTube channel.
Cindy took a look. "The Geeky Game Player? I never heard of that channel..."
"It's actually mine." Maxwell admitted.
"You made a channel!?" Cindy asked.
"Yeah, I got tons of subscribers," Maxwell smirked. "I made a video one night reviewing this vampire hunter game that I hated and then people just loved me, I'm a celebrity."
"That's so cool!" Cindy smiled.
In the gym...
"So, babe, want me to work-out without my shirt?" Jo offered.
"Oh, baby, you're so hot." Justine cooed.
Jo smirked and walked off with Justine. Cindy giggled at Maxwell's videos, but turned her head as she saw the glowing from the blue gem in Jo's hoodie. She then looked to Maxwell as he was looking for another video, then tiptoed over to Jo's hoodie and picked up the gem, hid it in her pocket, and she walked back over to sit with Maxwell innocently.
