It had been a month since Dib had found all that remained of Zim's base. He still couldn't believe that his enemy was finally gone. He never gave Dib a chance to revel Zim for the alien that he was.
"Oh well, at least Earth's not in danger anymore," Dib sighed and flipped through the channels till he got to the one where Mysterious Mysteries was coming on in ten minutes.
He waited as some news bulletin passed by on the screen. Another victim of an unknown kidnapper had been found. The people that were found always had no memory of the kidnapper except for an odd metallic clang that they heard before kidnapped. Authorities were still baffled by the case. The victims had nothing in common and there was never enough evidence to get a good lead.
Dib sighed. The kidnapping had gone on for two weeks now. What was even worse was that it seemed to be getting worse as more victims were found. If ten were found one day, twenty were gone the next.
After his show was over, Dib called Bloaty's. He had compromised with Gaz that if he ordered the new pizza for dinner, she would finish her project that was due tomorrow. Her grades had been falling since their dad had begun another project. In a matter of minutes, the steaming hot pizza was on the table.
"Gaz! Pizza's here!" Dib called up the stairs.
When she didn't immediately come down, he began to wonder if something was up. The phrase "pizza's here" always brought his sister down from her lair.
"Gaz? Did you hear me? I said the pizza is here," Dib rapped his knuckles on her door, which surprisingly creaked open.
"Odd. She never leaves her door open," Dib said as he looked into Gaz's room. "Gaz?"
He stopped. The window was open and his sister's skull necklace was lying on the floor with the string broken. She never left without that necklace. Dib never even saw her take it off.
"No, not you, Gaz," the boy fell to his knees in tears. "GAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZ!"
