Here's the next episode of this series, and it is going to be 'Mugged'. This takes place DURING the story. Anyway, enjoy!
"Keep it between us, girls, but after the little karate show that Arnold showed off, I find him even cuter than before." I smiled a bit, sighing.
"You probably won't tell him, though." Phoebe said as we headed towards the library.
"I know, but I'm just saying, those moves he does were pretty awesome!" I said. "I wonder what it would be like if I took self-defense."
"You probably won't want to dirty yourself, Rhonda." Nadine said. "You are the 'perfect' girl."
"And very fashionable." I smirked. "Don't forget fashionable."
"Of course you are." Nadine smiled. "Say, have you found more research on what happened with Tucker?"
I paused as I started to think. Over the past two days, I've been trying to spot any clues, any signs on what happened to Tucker, but from what I've seen, there was no luck. I sadly shook my head.
"I'm afraid I couldn't find any more information." I sighed.
"I asked Coach Wittenberg about it, and he responded that he had no son, just like that." Phoebe said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes... and from Coach Wittenberg's expressions, he didn't sound like he was disowning him, it was like he had a look of confusion."
"Very peculiar." I said as we opened our books up. "Still, it's pretty fun to do a little mystery... almost like James Bond..."
"It does sound like a spy mission, doesn't it?" Nadine asked me, smirking.
"You bet!" I smiled as I kept reading from the books. It wasn't long before we just decided to study, not bringing up any more on the subject of the disappearing Tucker.
The next day at school, something somehow changed in Arnold, but I hardly paid attention to him. I was more worried on Tucker's disappearance than what had recently went on in school.
I was in the school library with Phoebe as I tried to map out the tri-state area. "Okay, so here's what we know. The last we saw Tucker, he was part of the basketball team. Somewhere between February, the last game of the season, and this month, May, Tucker mysteriously disappeared. Nobody knows what happened to Tucker, not his dad, not Arnold, not Gerald, not Stinky, not anybody."
"We also went around the town and asked the loyal basketball fans, who know nothing about Tucker." Phoebe said. "Nadine even went to visit Tucker's mother, Tish, and not even SHE knows who Tucker is. Like Coach Wittenberg, same reaction of confusion."
"In fact, both of the parents, from what you've said, act like Tucker didn't even exist." I paused. "There's also the matter of the missing locker... Tucker's locker... locker 56."
"As far as anybody knows, there was no locker 56... but you, me and Nadine KNOW there used to be a locker 56!" Phoebe nodded.
"Something just doesn't add up." I sighed. "Maybe Curly is on to something about people 'disappearing' forever..."
Me and Phoebe paused as we looked at each other. This mystery became more and more mysterious as we went on.
Later that night, I decided to read one of my James Bond books to get me to sleep... as I started to get involve deeply into the book...
Inside the office of Commander P, I was sitting down in front of her as I asked, "You summoned for me, Commander?"
"Ah, Double Zero Ten, good morning." Commander P nodded as she got up. "Yes, I've got a new assignment for you today. One of our special agents, Double Zero Twenty-One, has completely vanished without a trace."
I started writing it down as Commander P continued, "When asked by his previous workers, they acted like he didn't even exist... it could be that their memories of Double Zero Twenty-One have been tampered with, causing them to not remember a Double Zero Twenty-One. Your mission is to go to where Double Zero Twenty-One was last and find out where he is. For this mission, you are required to get Curlfinger."
"Curlfinger?" I frowned. "I hate that pervert! Why do you want me to team up with him?"
"I know you and him had some animosity towards one another, but teaming up with Curlfinger could be our only shot at the mysterious disappearances..." Commander P said. "You will be assigned to Agent Double Zero Seventeen to help get Curlfinger out."
"Ah, Nadearie." I smiled. "Understood, Commander P."
A little later, I was with my good friend Nadearie as we were in the lab where Geraldo and his siblings were working on something. Geraldo smiled to me as he said, "Ah, Double Zero Ten, Double Zero Seventeen... Here for today's gadgets?"
"Lay it on us, Geraldo." I said as Nadearie nodded.
"If you don't mind." Nadearie smiled.
"Here's one of my newest inventions..." Geraldo said as he put down a small pen. "It may look like an ordinary pen to you, but push the button, and a small laser comes out of it. You'll need it to get Curlfinger out of jail."
Geraldo then put down another item, a basketball. "Now, this basketball is special. It can shrink down to pocket size, and it acts like a tape recorder. Just record and play anything at the right time."
"Interesting." Nadearie nodded. "Was there anything else?"
"Just this..." Geraldo said as he put down a hand held video game. "This may look like an ordinary Game Boy, but it's actually a communications device. Hear the ring, and pick it up. Commander P or I will give you some new information regarding the situation."
"Understood." Me and Nadearie nodded.
Near the county jail, me and Nadearie were looking up at it as Nadearie turned to me. "You ready for this?"
I paused as I looked up. Was I ready to release the crazy pervert who always captures me? I was honestly nervous...
I sighed as I put the book away. "Well, maybe Tucker'll turn up... what if Curly's just being his crazy self... if somebody else disappears, though... I'll know... I'll know..."
I sighed as I decided to lay myself down to sleep... knowing this little spy adventure will probably be ended on a small cliffhanger... for now...
And there is the tenth episode! How do you like it? Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
