Hey! You have no idea how much trouble I've had writing this chapter! Since my computer is still broken I downloaded an app to type on my phone and once I finished it ALL GOT DELETED! I was so upset! Then I typed it again...only half of it dissapeared. When I wrote the half that got deleted over...my phone turned off(it was fully charged) and that effort went to waste. So I decided to sync what I had to my aunt's computer so I wouldn't lose what I typed and guess what? It said the document on my phone didn't EXSIST! So I ended up typing it all over again! So...since this is the fastest I have ever updated and for the fact that I've had so much trouble with this chapter I demand you'll REVIEW! It would make me so happy and thanks to everyone who has even reviewed this story! I never thought I'd get this many reviws in a million years!

Sorry for the rant...Read on!

Candace didn't know where she was and was still in pain. She was also very confused, but what she did know was that she was in a state between consciousness and unconsciousness. She just couldn't decide if she wanted to stay awake or go back to sleep. She figured that if she went back to sleep she wouldn't feel all the pain and that was very appealing at the moment. If she woke up, the pain would probably increase and that was something she really didn't want to deal with. But why was she in pain? The question plagued her mind, waking her up even more.

She felt like she needed to do something. She couldn't put her finger on it, but she felt like something really important was happening and she was a part of it. The realization woke her up even further and she was suddenly aware of her other senses. She was cold and the side she was leaning on was wet.

Candace shifted, she was now at the point where she wouldn't (couldn't) go back to sleep, but was still groggy so she didn't open her eyes. Then she realized that her arms weren't lying down at her sides. They were raised above her head. She pulled down, but they wouldn't budge. Candace gulped; she was chained to the wall. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes, but it was still black.

Why was it still black? Why could she only see the darkness? The teen immediately started to panic and tried to yank free of the chains. She had to get out of here, but where was here? The question entered her mind causing her to stop struggling. The only thing she could remember was that she was helping someone, but who?

Mom and dad?

Phineas and Ferb?

No it wasn't any of them. She was also pretty sure that it wasn't her grandparents. She felt like it was someone she lived with, but she had already thought of everyone she lived with unless she counted Perry…

Perry!

All of the memories from the last two days came back to her. That supposedly stupid Dr. Doofensmirtz had tricked them! She couldn't believe it! If that wacko did this to her then who knows what horrible thing he did to Perry!

"Perry!" she screamed out into the darkness. She felt relief and excitement as she heard a weak chatter reply almost immediately. Though those emotions were short lived when she realized something.
" He sounds so weak." She thought worriedly. She had hardly heard him and he sounded like he was in pain.

"Perry!" She yelled again trying to keep the panic from her voice. "Keep talking to me! Are you okay?"

There was no response. Candace closed her eyes (Not that it made any difference) and took a deep breath trying to keep herself calm, but she knew she was shaking.

"Perry! Answer me now!" She demanded feeling tears run down her cheeks. She started to count, but stopped at 120 seconds.

120 Seconds.

That was two minutes.

Two minutes without a response.

Candace started to sob.

She really didn't want to assume the worst, but she was scared and when she was scared she thought negatively. She suddenly jumped when she felt something climb on her lap, but instantly relaxed when heard a weak chatter.

Perry's chatter.

"You're alive!" Candace said in relief, wishing she could hug him. Perry snuggled into her stomach probably just as relieved as she was. Candace took control of her breathing and eventually stopped crying. She noticed Perry's labored breathing and concluded that he was injured severely. She had to get them out of here, but how? She was interrupted from her thoughts of escape when she felt Perry shift and he started to fiddle with her belt.

Her belt!

Dr. Doofensmirtz didn't take her belt full of gadgets that Perry had given her! Candace heard a click and was instantly blinded by light.

"You found a flash light." She said as the beam of light was directed away from her face. She had to blink a couple of times to stop seeing spots. When she looked back down she saw a red light flashing and instantly knew that help was on the way. That should've relaxed her, but with the flashlight finally giving her some light to see she noticed how bad Perry was. The top of his head was shaved and looked like it had been bleeding. There were bruises all over his body and in some places he looked like he had been charred. She let out a small gasp. How could someone do something so terrible! She realized that during her analysis of his injuries Perry had fallen asleep (Passed out is probably the better word). Candace closed her eyes and leaned her heady back against the cold, damp wall. She hoped that help would get here soon.

! #$%^

Candace didn't mean to fall asleep. She wanted to stay up and explain everything to the agents that came to help, but it's seems that they already knew what to do. Their once dark prison was now surrounded by dim blue lights that made the room brighter. When the teen woke up her wrist were being bandaged by Agent F. and was handed three large pills and some water by Agent R. The teen quickly took the pills knowing that it would help the pain. She looked over to where Perry was being treated. They had put him on top of a makeshift bed of blankets. He had an IV going in one arm and the other Agent P. (She assumed it was his name because he was a panda) kept giving him shots. Agent C. had just finished bandaging him and started crushing some herbs using a mortar and pestle. Perry had woken up when they put the IV in him and had been having a conversation with Agent P. ever since. Candace wondered what they were talking about. Were they going to abort the mission? Were the other agents going to take over? She really wished she had her P.A.T., but that Norm-thing must've taken it from her. She turned when she heard a noise from behind her. The other agents (except Perry) went into a fighting stance. Something was coming from the ground. A creature came out and it had large claws on its hands, fleshy tentacles on its nose, sunglasses on his eyes and was wearing the same fedora that everyone else was wearing. Candace recognized the animal as a star-nosed mole, Agent S. All of the other agents relaxed and went back to their activities. Agent S. went straight to her. Candace raised an eyebrow at the agent. What could he want with her? (She felt wrong for it, but his nose made her queasy) When Agent S. got close enough to her he opened his hand showing her a P.A.T. She could've kissed him (No she couldn't)! She was so excited she took the device out of his hands, put it in her ear, and was right beside Perry in less than three seconds.

"Perry, are you okay!" Candace asked grabbing the platypus's hand.

Perry gave her a weak smile and said. "Yeah, I'll be better when they're finished with me." He motioned to Agents P. and C. who were still working on him. Agent C.'s pestle was on fire and he was patting it all over Perry's body while mumbling. Perry wasn't wincing or anything so Candace guessed that it didn't hurt. Agent P. had stopped injecting Perry and was looking at a chart.

"What are we going to do? Are we still going to stop that psycho?" Candace asked looking at all of the agents who had gathered around the platypus.

"Well," Perry began slowly, "We have to wait 'till HQ tells us what to do…since it's seems drowning the world wasn't his real plan."

"Well, what was his real plan?" Candace asked, curious. All the agents looked at Perry, then at her, and then back to Perry. Perry looked like he was having trouble figuring out a right answer. The P.A.T. was ripped out of her ear by Agent R., but she was too shocked to grab back for it because the moment the P.A.T. was off of her the agents started arguing. Candace was sort of scared. What could the plan be? The panda whistled making all the other animals stop and look at him. There was a tense silence until Agent F. spoke up. The fox's voice sounded calm but sneaky and Candace didn't know what to make of that. All the agents seem to consider what Agent F. said and slowly nodded. Agent R. gave the P.A.T. back to Candace, who put it on immediately.

"Well what's wrong?" Candace asked franticly.

"You see Candace," Perry started slowly as if trying to find the right words. "Dr. Doofensmirtz tortured me-"

Candace gasped; the urge to hug the family pet grew stronger.

"And he planned on keeping me prisoner forever. He probably was going to send you home, that's what we figured,"

"Okay," Candace nodded processing the information. "Are you sure there was nothing else?" She asked the question only for the fact that it seemed like they weren't telling her something.

"Nothing Candace," Perry reassured smiling. "I wouldn't lie to you. (If it wasn't to protect you)" The thought made Perry want to frown, but he needed to seem happy for Candace's sake.

All of Candace's doubts went away. Why would Perry lie to her?
