Chapter 3 Genetics

Shock heard motorcycle engines outside the treehouse. She looked out the window. "Lock? You're back!"

"Yup!" Lock said. He got off the motorcycle and took off his helmet before striding into the treehouse. "Did you miss me?"

"About time!" Shock said. "I got something I need to do involving you..." Her gaze then shifted to Barrel, who was on the couch eating potato chips. "...and my kid brother!" She pointed to the couch.

"Okay, I'll sit down!" Lock said. He obeyed her orders.

"Now this won't hurt a bit," Shock said, putting on latex gloves and taking out blood extraction equipment.

"What does your twisted sister want to do to us?" Lock said. He felt A rubber strip on his arm. Shock pulled it nice and tight so the veins stood out. Then she stuck the needle in Lock's arm and drew a few vials of blood.

"OWCH!" Lock shrieked. "Why'd ya do that?"

Shock just put a bandage on Lock's arm and smiled. "My friend will test your blood for me. She'll tell me what she finds." Lock looked away as Shock drew some of Barrel's blood.

"There!" Shock said, closing the vials of blood she drew. "All better! Now I've got enough Blood Samples I need to give to my friend!" She bandaged Barrel's wound.

"I keep telling you, Barrel!" Lock said. "Your sis is psychotic!" Shock sealed the vials in an envelope and clipped it to the mailbox.

"I must be adopted!" Barrel said. "But, unfortunately, I'm not!"


Meanwhile in Halloween Town, Jack was announcing his plans.

"Unfortunately, A good friend of mine has fallen ill and I have to take over Christmas!" Jack said to the townspeople. "I need your help in order to fulfill my friend's wishes!"

"But Jack!" The mayor moaned. "Last time you did it, it was a fiasco!"

"This time, Sandy provided me with the toys I need to deliver!" Jack said. "All I need is the equipment!"

"Like a suit!" A witch said.

"I can make you a new sleigh! The devil said.

"Braind new Reindeer!" Dr. Finklestein said.

"I'm glad all of you guys can help!" Jack said.
