Part three written by Swing123
Thunderstorm and Shadow were frantically working at their computers, developing a plan.
Shadow's claws had been taken off, and he had connected his arms into an outlet in the computer.
Numbers were flashing across his eyes as he stared straight ahead, motionless.
Thunderstorm was typing into another computer, his eyes darting back and forth between the various screens above him.
"File 242-IM, stop," He said to a microphone connected to the computer as he typed. "File 73-9M, stop, File 423-X, stop,"
Windows and subwindows popped up all over the screens as the mad scientist typed.
"Conclusion," Thunderstorm said, turning to Shadow.
The robot's arms disconnected from the computer, and his claws popped back into place.
"Replica building process completed." He said, turning to a large machine behind him. "All systems down. Lower protective barrier."
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST!!
Air shot out a square metal frame up the top of the machine, and it lifted upward.
Shadow stood back.
The steel door lifted upward into the top of the machine, revealing a small dark chamber.
Thunderstorm and Shadow stared at the machine.
Suddenly, the sound of a motor revving up was sounded, and a pair of small circular lights appeared side by side in the darkness.
Thunderstorm pulled a lever down.
An exact duplicate of Shadow emerged from the chamber, silently, its headlight eyes scanning its surroundings.
"Excellent!" Thunderstorm growled, rubbing his hands together. "Shadow, bring it down here!"
"I obey," Shadow hissed.
The robot turned and pushed some buttons on the console.
Suddenly, he stopped.
Thunderstorm turned around.
"Shadow?" He demanded. "Bring it down here! What are you doing?"
"Computer command override," Shadow said, suddenly, the lights in his eyes going up to the computer screen. "Incoming transmition from Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming."
Thunderstorm's eyes brightened.
"Ah, bring it onscreen," He smiled. "Let's see how my good friend has progressed in last five years."
"Affirmative." Shadow said.
There was a moment of silence.
Suddenly, Dr Brainstorm and Jack appeared on Thunderstorm's screen.
Brainstorm didn't look happy.
"YOU!" He shouted, angrily, pointing at Thunderstorm. "I ORDER YOU TO GET BACK INTO STASIS AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!"
Thunderstorm rolled his eyes.
"I see you haven't changed that much since I last saw you, last, Frank," He said, coldly, crossing his arms.
"DOCTOR BRAINSTORM!!"
"Not that much at all," Thunderstorm repeated shaking his head. "And Jack! How lovely to see you, again! Does your left arm still come off if someone pulls on it, too hard?"
Jack glared at Thunderstorm and didn't answer.
Brainstorm cut in.
"I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW IT DOESN'T!!" He screamed, frantically. "JACK IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTO-REPAIR NANOTECHNOLOGY, NOW! THAT ARM IS ON THERE FOR GOOD!! WE HAVEN'T EVEN USED THAT GAG SINCE OUR FIRST APPEARANCE ON THE SHOW!!"
"Uh huh," Thunderstorm said. "Why am I not surprised it took you five years to learn how to work nanotechnology ?"
"How did you get out of stasis, to begin with?" Jack asked, seriously, staring intently at Thunderstorm.
"Shadow let me out," Thunderstorm grinned. "Apparently something released him from his sleeping feature."
"YEAH?! YEAH?! WELL JACK WOULD DO THE SAME THING FOR ME IF I GOT STUCK IN STASIS!! RIGHT JACK?!" Brainstorm whipped around to Jack.
Jack stared at him.
"Not right away, no," He said, finally.
Brainstorm whipped back to Thunderstorm.
"SO THERE YOU HAVE IT!! JACK'S JUST AS POWERFUL AND OBEDIENT AS YOUR PRECIOUS SHADOW IS!! SPEAKING OF WHICH... why are there two... Shadows... now?" Brainstorm's voice trailed off as he spotted the second Shadow standing on the floor next to the machine.
"Yeah right, like I'm going to tell you my plan," Thunderstorm said. "I'm sorry Brainstorm, but if you called me thinking that you're going to stop me from taking over the planet, then I have a bit of a disappointment for you. Shadow, come here,"
"I obey," Shadow bowed, walking up to Thunderstorm.
Brainstorm glared at Jack.
Thunderstorm opened up the compartment in Shadow's head, and reached inside.
Sparks of electricity flew from the top of Shadow's head, as Thunderstorm ripped something out.
The scientist pulled out a small black box, threw it aside, and closed Shadow's head up, again.
Shadow straightened up.
"Sleeping Mode deactivated." He said.
Thunderstorm turned a sinister grin onto Brainstorm.
"Shadow, go to Yellowstone and kill Brainstorm and Jack," He ordered.
The light in Shadow's eyes flickered for a moment, then suddenly, the robot bolted upward.
He landed on the ceiling, and his claws and feet stuck to it.
"JACK CAN DO THAT, TOO!!" Brainstorm shouted, hysterically, pointing at Shadow.
"No, I can't," Jack said.
"SHUT UP, JACK!!" Brainstorm spat.
Shadow climbed across the ceiling, staring straight ahead, went over the exit door, and disappeared.
The robot climbed upside down through the rocky cave, until he reached the entrance.
He leaped out into the snow and looked around.
Then, suddenly, there was a blast of snow, and Shadow vanished, bolting down the mountain at over a hundred miles per hour.
Thunderstorm grinned evilly at Brainstorm.
"Enjoy your last hours on Earth, Dr Brainstorm," He said, dangerously.
Brainstorm was nearly frantic.
"YOU CAN'T WIN!!" He screamed, hopping up and down, hysterically. "IF I CAN'T BEAT YOU, SOMEONE ELSE WILL!!"
"Really?" Thunderstorm asked, his eyebrows jumping. "Such as?"
Brainstorm stopped hopping.
He stared off into space for a moment.
Then, he turned a grin onto Thunderstorm.
"You don't know what's been going on the last five years!" He said, triumphantly. "I could have a secret weapon! I could have invented something more advanced that what you've invented! I could know some people! PEOPLE, THUNDERSTORM!! PEOPLE!!"
"Whom?" Thunderstorm asked, crossing his arms.
Suddenly, a red light began flashing on Thunderstorm's ceiling.
An electronic voice shouted, "INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!"
Thunderstorm and Brainstorm looked around the lab in confusion.
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and the entrance to the lab was blown away.
Thunderstorm and Brainstorm turned, and stared.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman were sitting in the cardboard box, glaring at Thunderstorm.
Calvin was holding the MTM in one hand and the hypercube in the other.
Brainstorm and Thunderstorm stared at Calvin and the gang in shock.
There was a small pause.
"Well..." Brainstorm said, awkwardly. "I guess I should go, now,"
And with that, he pushed a button on his console, and the screen died.
"Who are you?" Thunderstorm demanded, pulling a jet black gun from his lab coat.
"Who are we?" Calvin said, seriously, his eyes narrowing. "Your worst nightmare."
There was a moment of silence.
"Ya know, Calvin, that line has been used so many times now, it's not even mildly threatening anymore," Socrates said.
"Yeah, it actually just took all the drama out," Andy commented. "It's like having 555 for a phone number."
Calvin glared at them.
"Fine whatever, just attack him." He grumbled.
Calvin leaped out of the Time Machine, MTM in hand, and landed on the black tiled floor.
He held the MTM up, and a bolt of lightning shot out.
Thunderstorm leaped from the way, as the electric blast charred a piece of floor.
He stared in shock at the floor, and turned to Calvin.
"You little rat," he growled. "So you're an inventor, too?"
"Correct!" Calvin grinned, aiming the MTM at Thunderstorm. "Now prepare to meet your doom, Thunderhead!"
Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman all walked up to Calvin's side, each pointing an invention at Thunderstorm.
Thunderstorm cut his eyes from side to side.
"Shadow, defend!" Thunderstorm ordered, turning to the Shadow duplicate.
The lights in the robot's eyes suddenly lit up.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman all turned their heads to the robot.
The duplicate held its claws up which began glowing bright red.
BLAST!!
Suddenly, two fire blasts shot out of a small laser cannon installed inside the robot's palms, and headed for Calvin.
"AAUGH!!" Calvin screamed, pushing a button the MTM.
A green transparent dome appeared around the five, and the laser blasts bounced off, and hit the floor.
Thunderstorm stood up, and backed away, grinning, insanely.
Not the kind of insane that Brainstorm had, but more like a kind of mad insane.
Shadow's duplicate bolted up to Calvin and the gang and frantically began clawing at the dome, screeching.
Calvin glared at the robot and pushed a button on the MTM.
The dome began retracting, slightly, then suddenly exploded outward.
The field engulfed the duplicate as it spread outward.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUGH!!" It screeched, falling to the ground.
The robot collapsed on the ground, and remained motionless.
Calvin turned a grin onto Thunderstorm.
"It's bad to have someone fight your own battles," He said, smugly. "Do you know what's even worse? Having them lose!"
And with that, Calvin sent another electric blast at Thunderstorm.
Thunderstorm aimed his Servant Ray and pulled the trigger.
A green blast shot out, and met the MTM's blast head on.
BOOM!!
The force threw Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman backward onto the floor.
"I trust you've already dealt with Brainstorm's Servant Ray," Thunderstorm said, raising an eyebrow. "It would fit that you wouldn't be prepared for mine, however."
And with that, Thunderstorm sent a blast of fire hurling for Calvin and Hobbes.
"AAAUGH!!" Calvin screamed pushing another button on the MTM.
The force field reappeared, and absorbed the fire.
"Mine is telepathic!" Thunderstorm cackled. "SHADOW! ATTACK!!"
"Have you totally gone insane?" Socrates asked. "We took care of your little Shadow thing."
Suddenly, the duplicate of Shadow bolted upward.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman turned.
There was a pause.
"I stand corrected." Socrates said.
Shadow flung his claws forward, sending another blast of fire at the gang.
This one engulfed the entire force field causing it to disappear.
The Shadowclone then began moving forward, slowly, its eyes fixed on the five.
Calvin leaped to his feet, and aimed the MTM.
ZZZZT!!
The MTM sent another bolt of lightning at the robot, this one nailing him right in the shoulder.
Shadowclone was thrown to one side as the electricity tore off the robot's arm, and sent it flying to the other end of the room.
"YES!" Calvin yelled.
Shadowclone turned a sinister grin onto Calvin.
Suddenly, an electric field surrounded the area where Shadowclone's arm used to be.
ZZZZZZZT!!
There was a flash of bright light, and suddenly, the arm reappeared.
Shadowclone clenched his fist, and grinned.
"Not yes," Socrates said.
Shadowclone raised his fists above his head, which began glowing bright yellow.
Five large black cables suddenly burst from the floor, curled around Shadowclone, and wrapped around Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman.
"AAAAUGH!!" They all screamed, being incased in the black cables.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Thunderstorm asked, grinning. "Doesn't Jack have an Concentrated Electrical Manipulator?"
There was a pause.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman stared at Thunderstorm blankly.
Thunderstorm sighed.
"The ability to concentrate his electrical power on a particular electrical object, thus being able to control what it does," He explained.
"Oh," Hobbes said.
Shadow screeched, and began moving in for the kill.
Calvin raised the MTM above his head.
"MTM! OVERRIDE!" He ordered.
"Why?" MTM asked.
"BECAUSE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT!!" Calvin screamed, frantically.
"Just like how our lives depended on me teleporting Socrates, Andy and Sherman to your room?" MTM asked.
"JUST DO IT!!"
"Oh, very well," MTM sighed.
Suddenly, electricity surrounded the tip of the MTM, and the five cables dropped, releasing Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman.
"DIE, ROBOT!!" Calvin screamed, sending blast after blast of fire at Shadow's duplicate.
Shadow was tossed from side to side as the fire struck him, but he continued to move forward.
Andy then moved in with the Scream Horn, and aimed it at Shadow's replica.
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
The shockwaves knocked Shadow back slightly, but he continued forward.
Hobbes then moved in with the Transmogrifier Gun.
He set it on Laser Mode, and began shooting wildly at the robot.
BLAST!! BLAST!! BLAST!! BLAST!!
SCRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
ZZZT!! ZZZT!! ZZZT!! ZZZZZT!
The robot continued to move forward, its eyes set intently on Calvin.
Finally, an extra loud BLAST emitted from the MTM, and a large explosion of fire engulfed Shadow's duplicate.
The robot was tossed backwards into the wall.
CRASH!!
He sunk to the ground, and lay motionless.
"SCORE ONE FOR THE BOYS BACK HOME!!" Calvin shouted.
He and Hobbes did a high five.
Suddenly, the robot's head came up.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman froze.
"All current tactics failed." It said, blandly. "Initiating Last Resort Robo-Launcher."
There was a pause.
"What launcher?" Hobbes asked.
The Shadow duplicate leaped to his feet, and opened his mouth up wide.
There was a small buzzing, then suddenly, over a hundred small locust-like robots exploded from the robot's mouth, and began circling him.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman stood motionless in the middle of the room, staring at the robot, blankly.
Hobbes turned to Thunderstorm.
"You know, you have one creepy robot." He said.
Thunderstorm rolled his eyes.
The small robotic bugs swarmed all around the Shadow duplicate, who was glaring evilly at Calvin and Hobbes.
Then, suddenly, the small robots shot forward towards Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman.
"AAAUGH!!" They all screamed as the small robots attacked them.
Calvin held the MTM up, and tried to blast them away, but there were far too many of them.
Thunderstorm and the Shaodw replica watched, silently as the robots swarmed all around the five, driving them to the ground.
Thunderstorm clapped as the robots all flew back into Shadow's mouth, and into a small compartment in the back of his throat.
"Excellent work," He chuckled. "You're perfect for this job, duplicate."
Calvin's head came up.
"Wait, that's not the real Shadow?" He demanded.
"Of course not," Thunderstorm said. "The real Shadow would have been much worse,"
The robot confined Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman, forced them to their feet and pushed them into a small cell.
Thunderstorm slammed the door and locked it.
Calvin leaped to his feet, and began rattling the bars.
"NO FAIR! YOU USED ROBOT BUGS!!" He screamed.
Thunderstorm rolled his eyes.
The Shadow duplicate reached over and pulled a lever on the computer console.
A green transparent dome spread across the front of the cell.
"Now," Thunderstorm said, straightening his black lab coat. "Now that I have you under control... who are you?"
"Since that information is keeping us alive, I barely think we should tell you!" Calvin growled.
Thunderstorm grinned sweetly at Calvin.
"Very well, say cheese."
Before anyone could react, Thunderstorm held up a small device, aimed it at Calvin and the gang, and pushed the button.
FLASH!!
A light burst out, almost blinding the five, and Thunderstorm turned, and stared at his computer screen.
Suddenly, Calvin's name popped up onto the screen, followed by Hobbes', Socrates' Andy and Sherman's.
Beside the names, pictures of them sprung up, along with small descriptions.
Thunderstorm read over it.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman stared in shock at Thunderstorm.
"How did you..."
"Data extractor," Thunderstorm grinned at Calvin. "I just pulled every single bit of information from your brains. I know everything I need to know about you."
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman exchanged nervous glances.
"And I'm also assuming that you're not the only ones that Brainstorm has sent after me." Thunderstorm said, crossing his arms.
"What?" Hobbes asked. "Brainstorm didn't..."
"Apparently I need to set my plan into motion, immediately." Thunderstorm said to himself rubbing his chin. "No time to wait for Shadow's return."
He began pacing the floor.
"I need something though," He said, quietly. "Something with interdimensional energy. I need..."
Suddenly Thunderstorm looked up.
Calvin was still holding the hypercube in one hand.
"I need that!" He shouted, pointing at the cube.
Calvin looked down at the hypercube in confusion.
"Wha—what?"
Thunderstorm walked over to the cell, and reached inside.
"HEY!" Calvin screamed, as Thunderstorm snatched the hypercube away from him. "Give me that!"
"Sorry," Thunderstorm said, tossing the small cube into the air and catching it again. "But I need this,"
He walked across the lab with the hypercube, and up to a large machine.
It had a large circular hole right through the right hand side of it, with a computer console attached.
Thunderstorm inserted the hypercube into the small compartment on the machine, and began flicking some buttons.
Calvin and the gang watched.
Then, suddenly, Sherman's eyes burst open.
"Wait a minute..." He said, suddenly realizing. "You're not..."
Suddenly the machine began humming.
The hypercube began glowing bright blue.
Then, suddenly, the hole in the machine lit up with a bright blue color.
Thunderstorm grinned insanely.
"You're forcing a portal open between dimensions!" Sherman shouted. "STOP! That portal is too big!"
"What are you talking about?" Thunderstorm scoffed.
"Yeah, Sherman, what are you talking about?" Calvin asked. "My hypercube and duffel bag force the portals open, too."
"Yeah, but that portal's too big!" Sherman yelled, frantically. "The bigger a portal between dimensions is, the more unstable it is! And that one could suck this entire laboratory into it!"
"Well, you need not worry, because I'm only putting one item into it." Thunderstorm said. "Shadow! Enter!"
"I obey," The duplicate bowed before Thunderstorm.
He marched across the lab, and walked into the portal, disappearing in a flash of blue.
Thunderstorm then typed into the computer console, and shut the portal down.
The blue light emitting from it vanished.
"What are you doing?" Calvin demanded, raising an eyebrow. "You could have just used the hypercube to do that."
"Oh, but I'm not using the same dimension that your hypercube uses," Thunderstorm said, dangerously. "I'm using a dimension with a duplicating property in it!"
"Duplicating?" Socrates asked. "You mean you're going to duplicate your Shadow duplicate?"
"Yes," Thunderstorm said. "Enough Shadows to take down the entire planet!"
He turned, and began typing into his computer console.
"You can't do that!" Calvin yelled. "Even if you could all those Shadow's could be destroyed the second the leave the portal!"
"You think so?" Thunderstorm asked, turning and facing Calvin.
Calvin paused.
"Uh... well... yeah.." He said.
"Not unless you have a really really big portal!" He cackled.
Sherman eyes popped open.
"What are you..." He started.
"I'm going to release the Shadow duplicates by spreading the portal across the entire planet!" Thunderstorm declared. "The replicas will appear on every corner of the globe, and take down its government and people."
Sherman gasped.
"You can't!" He screamed.
"Oh, but I can!" Thunderstorm grinned.
"No, you don't understand!" Sherman yelled, jumping off Andy's shoulder, and onto the floor. "A portal that big could cause both our world and that world to collapse! Every living creature would die! The entire planet would be reduced to rocks in space!"
Thunderstorm stared at Sherman.
"Interdimensional portals can be stabilized, hamster," He said, crossing his arms. "You think I haven't thought this through?"
"You have to listen to me!" Sherman pleaded. "If you even try to open the portal across the planet, everything dies! humans, plants, cats, dogs, everything!"
"You're overreacting," Thunderstorm said. "Is he always like this?"
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates and Andy nodded in unison.
"Besides, I don't even have a power source strong enough to rip the portal open across the planet, yet." Thunderstorm yawned, his attention wandering.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Thunderstorm whirled around, and stared at his computer screen.
"Until, NOW, that is!" He screamed with delight, typing into his keyboard.
A picture of Brainstorm's space station appeared onscreen.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman gasped.
Thunderstorm grinned.
"Well, well," He said, rubbing his hands together. "Looks like Frank isn't as useless as I thought he was! He's completed his Space Station, now. Isn't that nice?"
The mad scientist typed more into his keyboard.
Subwindows popped up, and Thunderstorm examined them.
"And would you look at that?" He asked, grinning insanely. "It would appear that the power range of this station covers the entire planet."
He turned a grin onto the cell.
"That's a lot of power." He said, quietly.
"Thunderstorm," Sherman said, calmly. "Please listen to me. If you open that portal, you won't be able to take over the Earth, because the Earth will be gone!"
"I think I know what I'm doing, hamster," Thunderstorm said, turning to Sherman. "Now, I have work to do,"
"You're insane!" Sherman yelled. "Nobody in their right mind would do this! The energy will destroy the Earth! WAIT!!"
Thunderstorm waved to Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman and walked out of the room.
There was a pause.
Then, suddenly, there was a sound of an engine revving up, and the wall opened up across from the exit.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman stared at it.
A black rocket was emerging from a small chamber, the engine roaring.
"Wow, this is guy is obsessed with black." Socrates said.
The rocket roared forward, and shot straight out of the exit, leaving Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman alone in the cell.
The rocket blasted out into the middle of the snow, and shot off towards space.
There was a pause.
"We have to stop him..." Sherman said, his eyes squeezing shut.
Meanwhile, back at Calvin's house, Rosalyn was having a strike of conscience, so she began fixing Calvin some dinner.
She walked up to Calvin's door and knocked, holding a sandwich and a glass of milk.
"Calvin?" She called into the room. "I have some dinner for you. I want you to eat in your room, and out of my hair, got it?"
Rosalyn paused.
No reply came from the door.
"Calvin?" She asked.
She reached over, and opened the door.
She peeked inside.
Calvin, Hobbes, and several of Calvin's possessions were gone.
Rosalyn came into the room.
"Calvin where are you?" She demanded, putting the plate onto the desk.
She got down onto her knees, and lifted the bed sheet up, looking under Calvin's bed.
Then, she stood up, and walked over to the closet.
She opened the closet door and looked all throughout it.
"CALVIN!" She screamed, whipping around. "WHERE ARE YOU!!"
She looked all throughout the bedroom, and found Calvin nowhere.
"CALVIN!!" She shrieked. "YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE WHEN YOUR PARENTS GET HOME!!"
Rosalyn then went on a searching rampage throughout the entire house, looking for Calvin in vain.
She screamed and yelled until she was hoarse, but still couldn't find him anywhere.
"Calvin, I'm going to tell your parents!" Rosalyn warned, scanning the living room for the seventh time. "They're going to be so angry when they find out that you..."
Just then, lights shown through the window in the living room, throwing shadows throughout the room.
Rosalyn looked outside.
Mom and Dad were pulling up into the driveway.
Rosalyn's heart nearly stopped.
"CALVIN!" She called. "If you come out, I'll let you watch the TV! You can eat all the cookies and cake you want! PLEASE!! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
Just then, the doorknob rattled, and Mom and Dad walked into the house.
Rosalyn froze.
"Hello, Rosalyn," Dad said, taking off his coat. "How was Calvin?"
Rosalyn opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
Mom and Dad stared at her.
"Uh, Rosalyn?" Mom asked.
"Uhh... I uh... he... Calvin... I didn't..." Rosalyn stuttered.
"Rosalyn, is everything alright?" Dad asked. "Where's Calvin?"
"He's... I... he didn't... umm..." Rosalyn paused.
Then, she heaved a deep sigh.
"I can't find him," She said, rubbing her temple.
Mom and Dad's eyes popped open.
"What do you mean you can't find him?" Mom demanded.
"I sent him up to his room, and he just vanished." Rosalyn sighed.
"You lost him?!" Mom demanded. "How could you loose a six year old hurricane like Calvin?!"
"Dear, just relax," Dad said, trying to calm Mom down. "He probably snuck out and went to Andy's house."
Mom looked back and forth between Dad and Rosalyn.
"Do you think so?" She started.
"Sure, Calvin's always doing that!" Dad said. "Here, I'll just call Andy's parents up, and we'll see if he's there."
"OK...OK..." Mom gasped, trying to calm down.
Dad walked past Rosalyn, and into the kitchen.
He picked up the phone and started dialing.
Then, he held the phone to his ear and waited.
"Hello?" He asked. "Yes, this is Calvin's parents down the street. Is this Andy's father? Ah, yes, hello. Is your son there, by any chance?"
There was a moment of silence.
"Oh..." Dad said, finally. "He is? OK. No, everything's fine. I was just... what? Oh. OK, well thank you. Mmm-hmm. Goodbye."
Dad hung the phone up, silently, and stared off into space for a moment.
There was a pause.
"What is it?" Mom asked.
Dad snapped back into reality, and looked at Mom.
"Andy isn't at home," He said, finally. "His father said he just disappeared."
There was another pause.
Mom nodded her head.
"Call the police," She said, crossing her arms.
"Now dear, isn't that a little drastic to..."
"THE POLICE!" Mom shouted. "Andy's house is the only place that Calvin would go to at this time of night. If he's not there, then there's something wrong!"
Rosalyn looked back and forth between Mom and Dad nervously.
Dad nodded his head, and picked the phone up, again.
He dialed some numbers, and waited.
"Hello, police?" He asked into the speaker. "Yes, I'd like to report a missing person."
There was a moment of silence.
Dad sighed.
"Yes, his name is Calvin." He said.
It was at that point that Rosalyn just left. She didn't ask for any pay or anything, she just left.
She decided that the sooner she got out of the house, the better.
