Chapter 13: Act Now
Eddy looked up from the hardware store counter at the sound of the doorbell. An annoyed frown immediately formed on his face at the sight of the red head that walked in. The jock quickly picked out the items he needed and walked right to the counter. Placing ask the items on the register, the two shared silent declaration of dislike for one another. However, Eddy's annoyed frown turned into a smug smirk as he rung up the full price for his items. Kevin arched an eyebrow and glared at the shorter Ed. "What's with look dork?" He growled, and Eddy chuckled. "Nothing. Just fun to see you losing a race." Kevin stood up straighter now and looked down at Eddy, "The hell are you talking about dweeb?" Eddy rolled his eyes, "Like you haven't been ogling sock head since he got back." Kevin growled, "You gotta problem with it?"
Eddy rolled his eyes again, "As long as Double D's cool with your shitty attempts to get him, I don't care what you do. Just don't hurt him." He growled the last part out, as clear threat. Kevin took his bag and started for the door, he paused when Eddy spoke again, "Hey not that I care, but ya better act now before 2x4 takes the lead." He smirked only to have Kevin look back at him in pure shock. He started to talk, "Wha_" before Eddy cut him off and started pushing him out the shop door. "Go home. We're closed," Eddy replied as he began to close the door behind the jock. Kevin turned around to face Eddy, "Dammit dork don't you_" He was silenced by the door closing in his face. Kevin was seconds from punching the door down until a car horn caught his attention. He turned to see Nat waiting in his car. His best friend popped his head out the window shouting, "Come on man!" Kevin glared at the hardware store one last time, before making his way to the blue car. He jogged lightly and got in with an annoyed expression.
Nat looked at him, "You get the stuff?" he asked. Kevin shot him an unintentional glare, but nodded. Nat blew the look off, "Good," He stated and rushed to turn the car. Kevin quickly noticed the harsh movement of the car and held on to the door. "What the hell man? My bikes not going anywhere," The red head exclaimed. "Yeah, but your chances with Double D might," Nat replied looking Kevin the eyes then back at the road. "What," Kevin arched an eyebrow. "What did you see?" He quickly asked. Nat stopped at a stop light reluctantly and slouched in the car chair. "Double D leaving a café with that Johnny kid. He got away be the way," Nat explained bluntly. Kevin tried to ignore the mixture of anxiety and anger bubbling in his stomach. He attempted to calm himself down as they drove back to his house.
Double D gave a tired sigh as he walked into his home, later that night. He had quite the strenuous day, it being his first day of work, the talk with Johnny and the personal phone call he made to Scarlet about looking up information about the symptoms Johnny experienced due to his friendship with Plank. As he removed his tie his phone rang, looking at his caller I.D that read "Scarlet, he answered. "That was fast," He stated referring his previous request to her. "Yes well it would've been if I wasn't interrupted by a certain change of current events. " Eddward sighed and rubbed his tired eyes, "Am I going to like these current changes? " Scarlet's reply was quick, " We have a problem." Eddward replied with a deep sigh, "Is this a problem that can be solved quickly?" He asked. Scarlet's voice replied with a smile, "It can be solved quietly."
The genius took seat on his couch, he rubbed his eyes with his thumb and index finger. "Report," He groaned. Scarlet complied, "It seem the Peach Creek underground business has got their hands a file holding all mysterious artifacts from your little town. Although there isn't much beside a few strange occurrences and your friend's "Plank" character, they're selling the bit they found to a rich family, who associate with an interested, but unknown company." Edd frowned at that last statement, "Do we know this company?" he asked getting up. "Oh we've got a pretty goose idea who, but no one that's threat, to us anyway," She replied after some typing could be heard on the other end. "Well, I suppose that's some good news," Eddward stated a hint of relief dripped off his voice. "Yes, well as weak as this deal is it still hold some important information, your Cul-de-sac is on the file as well as the families who dwell in it. However, there's basic information on you, but it's not as detailed that the others. This may seem suspicious, no?" She sarcastically questioned. "Say no more. I assume a plan has been set into motion," He replied sitting at his family's supercomputer. "But of course," Scarlet smiled. Eddward nodded, "And dare I ask where you are." A laugh was heard on the other end, "Why on a plan of course."
He made his way to his room as he asked," And when will you be landing?" He met with a moment of idle conversation, which ended with a long dramatic sigh. "Oh give or take a day of two," Her voice was laced with slight annoyance and embarrassment. Now it was Double D's turn to chuckle, "Well call me when you get here and give Nitsuj my regards." Her voice smirked, "As if he's being a hard ass." Eddward rolled his eyes, "Well than I'll see you soon." She said her goodbye and the phone went dead. After hanging up the phone he dropped back on his bed exhausted, "A current problem indeed," He sighed.
The next morning Double D woke up and packed his bag for his morning workout, hoping that a morning swim would help. As he exited his house he was surprised to see Kevin, sitting on his motorcycle in front of his house. As he stared at the red head he remembered why, "Our swimming schedule, of course." He concluded. Kevin removed his helmet, "I'm hurt Double dweeb. You forgot already, geez man," Kevin smirked at the blushing teen before him. Eddward felt horrible for truly forgetting about their plans, so much that for once in 5 years his words came out fumbled. "My greatest apologies for forgetting Kevin…. I seemed to have a lot on my mind after yesterday….. oh but that is horrible excuse for my actions. I'm very sorry, allow_"
"What happened yesterday," Kevin interrupted. Eddward paused at the question, he gripped his bag tightly for a second, "Well a lot to be short. Johnny entrusted me with some very interesting information, and I began my first day of work." He explained with a weak smile. Kevin whistled, "Sounds emotionally and physically tiring." Eddward laughed lightly, "You have no idea." The red head tossed him a helmet, "Well if I know one thing it's that a workout helps with stress. Hop on." Eddward complied and joined his friend on the back of his bike.
