Two things. One: About midway through the chapter, you may think there is a typo. It's not. Two: Please review. I appreciate it when you do. Anyway, enjoy!:
Five
All of the items that Dr. D ordered Perry to get seemed very random. Like five hundred pounds of tuna. Or fifty gallons of peanut butter. And the most recent request: seventy gallons of hot sauce, fifty gallons of salsa, and forty pounds of Hot Tamales (the candy).
Perry was running out of money in his bank account since he refused to steal the items. If anymore of Doofenshmirtz's items cost more than $100, Perry would have to use a credit card, which he hated using.
He was also convinced that Heinz had not come up with the idea of blackmailing on his own. Whenever Dr. D told Perry to get anything, the evil scientist seemed to be reading a script on a clipboard that he held.
Whoever was making this plan and feeding the information to Doofenshmirtz was who Perry really needed to worry about. Being evil wasn't really Dr. D's thing. It made no sense that all of a sudden, he was good at being evil.
Perry had put the Hot Tamales, salsa, and the hot sauce in a stray grocery cart and dragged it into Heinz's apartment building, in the elevator and to the apartment. The secret agent knocked on the door and Norm answered it.
"Hello, Perry," said the robot as he picked up the cart and brought it inside.
Agent P followed Norm into the apartment. It was pitch black except for a spotlight shining down from the ceiling thirty feet from the door.
Perry found that strange since it was 3:30 in the afternoon.
Norm stepped into the spotlight, no longer holding the cart. "Doofenshmirtz is busy with the inators he's making, so he told me to tell you the last item to get," he said. "By 7:30 p.m., Heinz wants the T-Rex skeleton from the Danville museum. I don't care how it gets here. It can be in pieces or whole. Dr. D doesn't care. If 7:31 passes and we don't have the skeleton…"
Another spotlight shone down on the island-inator to Norm's left. On the screen, Perry could see Candace, Irving, Baljeet, Buford, and Ferb on the beach, chasing a chicken. Phineas and Isabella were not with them.
"Four hours," said Norm darkly. "Don't let the clock hit zero."
Perry quickly backed out of the apartment and shut the door. There was something wrong with Norm. Perry had reached that conclusion after the robot's last statement. Maybe Norm was the reason Doof was suddenly good at evil. There may have been a glitch in Norm's system, causing the robot to become evil, but Dr. D took credit for it.
Perry was determined to find out what had happened. What suddenly made Heinz so good at evil? And if Norm was the reason, what happened to the robot to cause this?
But first, more importantly, Perry had to figure out how to steal a massive T-Rex skeleton before 7:30 p.m. when the museum closed at 8:00 p.m.
After the first blast from Phineas, the tiger didn't return and the lion took off into the forest with the cobra on its back shrieking, "Cowards! You animals are filthy cowards!"
As Phineas helped Isabella up, the hawk landed a few feet in front of the two of them. The bird let out an earsplitting cry and glared at the two kids.
Phineas stuck his left arm in front of Isabella and his right hand towards the hawk.
"Leave us alone," said Phineas firmly. A white ball of light glowed in his outstretched hand.
The hawk glowered at the ball of light, then at the two kids. The bird flew off into the sky.
After the ball of light vanished, Isabella threw her arms around Phineas. "You saved me!" she exclaimed. "Thank you!"
"No problem," said Phineas. "It- it was nothing."
He turned to look at Isabella. She was looking back at him. Phineas noticed how pretty Isabella looked in the afternoon sun light, a gentle breeze blowing her hair. He put his hand behind Isabella's head, closed his eyes, and leaned towards her.
There was very little space between the two of them when there was the sound of running and someone shouted, "Phineas!"
It was Irving's voice.
Isabella and Phineas jumped apart as Irving approached them. The stalker had a huge smile on his face.
"We caught a chicken!" Irving beamed. "Ferb's cooking it right now and told me to come and get you. It's almost time for lunch!"
Well, what do you think? Please review and let me know. I appreciate it when you do and I make sure to upload faster. There's still a good way to go in this story.
