chapter 7.
Cindy and Jimmy were doing homework after his walk around he needed to catch up. Jimmy didn't find it challenging except for the poetry assignment for English. Cindy shook her head "poetry is not your strongest subject Jimmy."
She gave him a coy smile knowing she was better than him at this kind of work. Jimmy frowned then saw Cindy's equation for Chemistry was off.
"Well Cindy I am a scientist I don't have a talent for the written word unlike some but I do have a talent for chemistry and if you don't adjust that equation you will find that it will lead to spontaneous combustion."
Cindy was confused then looked to her equation and checked the book to see Jimmy was right. "Well then how about a deal, I'll help you with the poetry and you can help me with chem and that way we both stay on top?"
Jimmy agreed and before they knew it they were more than close to being done. Cindy revised his poetry while he looked to her notes.
"Wow, nicely done, you even used the tips I gave you about the elements."
Cindy smiled "Thanks, Jimmy your tips helped better than Mrs. Browns and she went to a special university."
Jimmy smiled "Well not to brag but for a few days, I was at Pomona."
Cindy sat up and stretched the feeling of hunger setting in. "Going to the cafe to see what's good, You want anything?"
Jimmy smiled "haha no I am good for food but if my beautiful girlfriend is so kind as I've had the joy to discover bring me a purple flurp I wouldn't say no."
Cindy smiled Neutron was laying it on thick and she enjoyed the compliments. "One purple flurp coming right up." He watched her walk out the door enjoying the view, knowing he was looking she put a sway in her hips just to tease.
Jimmy laid his head back on his pillow shaking his head over the blonde vixen that was his girlfriend. he then heard a knock,"Back already Cindy?"
The door opened and Sheen walked in."No, not exactly."
Jimmy quickly sat up. "Sheen, you have any idea how worried everyone is? Libby's upset, Carls freaking out and Cindy's agitated at you for worrying Libby."
Sheen's head hung low "I know, it's just what happens got me so mad. The cops can't find the guy and it's ticking me off."
Sheen turned around his hands on the back of his head and Jimmy saw a magazine in his back pocket. Curious to what it was "What do you have there Sheen."
Sheen turned trying to think of something fast. "Nothing just an Ultralord comic."
Jimmy raised an eyebrow "Sheen that is no Ultralord comic and even if it was I highly doubt it would be rolled up and in your back pocket."
Sheen let out a breath and Jimmy stuck his hand out "Give it to me let me see it."
"Umm did I say comic I mean catalog."
Sheen looked to Jimmy who wasn't buying his obvious lie did he seriously think he could put one over on the teen genius.
Sheen handed Jimmy the magazine and Jimmy's eyes went wide "Sheen what the heck man! A gun magazine I hope you weren't thinking of buying one."
Sheen said nothing and Jimmy stunned, to say the least.
"Sheen why?"
Sheen ran his hands through his spiky hair "For protection what else? so that what happened won't happen again."
"Sheen buying a gun won't solve anything and what happened could have happened to anyone. Worse could have been if you did have a gun you would have been arrested."
Sheen looked to the floor not saying anything. realizing how dumb he was being.
Jimmy frowned "Sheen you still owe me, swear to me you won't buy a gun."
Sheen frowned "Jimmy."
Jimmy spoke with a more stern tone "Swear if you still consider yourself my friend you won't get a gun."
Sheen nodded in defeat as much as he didn't want to be a victim again he didn't want to lose one of his two best friends. Jimmy tore up the book and threw it into the trash and laid down "I am glad you came to your senses Sheen. Now Cindy should be back soon and you know she will be mad if she see's you."
Sheen thought for a moment and became pale "Good looking out Jimmy I'll see you later man." With that Sheen ran out.
Sheen walked down the hall seeing the old man from the alley carrying a nurses outfit. Sheen curious decided to follow him.
Sheen kept his distance not to scare the old guy he needed to know what was going on. He watched the old man walk into a room and after a moment a nurse walked out as if she didn't even see the old man.
He walked over to the door and opened it slightly and saw a jacket and a mask. Sheen picked up the jacket and he was right it was the same guy who attacked him and Jimmy only it wasn't a guy. Sheen then realized Jimmy was in danger.
Sheen ran back to Jimmy's room only to run into Cindy who was carrying two muffin's and a couple purple flurps.
"Ow watch what you're doing, you got eyes don't ya?" Cindy opened her eyes to see who she was yelling at. "Ultrageek, oh you have some nerve."
Sheen looked to Cindy seeing her fist "Yeah I know I made Libby upset we already talked but forget about me Jimmy's in trouble whoever it was that attacked us that night is here in the hospital and I think there after Jimmy."
Cindy's eyes grew wide and she helped Sheen to his feet "Well then let's go."
The nurse made her way to Jimmy's room and walked in seeing the teen genius laying back relaxed. She pulled out a syringe and a vial.
