"Tremble before me Perry the Platypus as I unleash the Sleepinator. It will cause everyone, except for myself of course, to fall asleep. And while they are all unconscious, I will take over the TRI-STATE AREA!"

"Grrr!"

"Don't give me that look Perry the Platypus, this is a good plan. How can people stop me from ruling if they aren't even awake?" The tied up platypus made another noise and the evil scientist just rolled his eyes.

"Whatever Perry the Platypus, that is of no concern to me at the moment. Now watch as everyone falls into a deep slumber that only I can control." The scientist pressed a button but before he could fire the device, a flying contraption came barreling through the window, taking the Sleepinator with it.

"Phineas Flynn," the scientist screamed. "What are-" But the scientist never got to finish his sentence for Phineas had tackled him, pinning him against the wall.

"Where is she?" Phineas growled, pushing against the scientist's neck. "I'm warning you Dr. D. You better answer me."

"I have no idea what you are talking about," Dr. Doofenshmirtz said, though with the pressure on his neck it came out very soft.

"You're lying," Phineas said, pushing harder. Dr. Doofenshmirtz squeaked as more pain was added. His face was beginning to go purple. "An enemy of mine took her. Since my platypus is you arch-enemy, that makes me your enemy too, even if my step-brother is your son-in-law."

"Grrr!"

"He took her, Perry, he took her," Phineas said, tears forming in his eyes. His voice was beginning to break. "And now-hic-now he won't tell me where she is."

"Hey Dad, Perry, did you hear-whoa. What's going on here?" Perry and Doofenshmirtz turned to look at the source of the speaker. Phineas, however, kept his hand on Doof's neck, though his grip had somewhat loosened.

"Phineas let go of my dad," Vanessa said, coming up behind her brother-in-law and placing a soft hand on his shoulder.

"No, he took her," Phineas repeated, pushing harder again.

"He didn't Phineas," Vanessa said, grabbing Phineas's hand and gently prying it open. Phineas let her and soon his hand was off Doof's neck. She then guided the hand back to the side of his body. "He's been here all day working on his invention. He was fighting Perry when she was taken. He didn't do it."

"Did what?" Doof asked, coughing. "Took who? What's going on?"

"Isabella's been kidnapped Dad," Vanessa said, hugging Phineas. "No one has any idea where she is or who took her."

"Grrr!"

"Perry the Platypus, how did you get out of my trap?" Perry rolled his eyes and walked over to where his owner stood, sobbing.

"Thank you Perry," Phineas said, giving his pet a pat on the head. "But I doubt even the OWCA could find her."

"Grrr!"

"Perry's right Phineas," Vanessa said. "Have a little faith."

"I lost her," Phineas said. "I was on the phone with her mere minutes before she was taken. If I had just kept talking to her-"

"Phineas," Vanessa said, "there was no way you could have known that."

"But I-I was working on a crystal ball that would tell the future," Phineas choked. "If I had only finished it last week like I was supposed to-"

"Phineas!" Vanessa screamed. "You are talking nonsense. No one can see the future."

"Well, yeah," Phineas said, wiping his eyes. "They don't have the crystal ball I'm working on."

"Oh Phineas," Vanessa said, hugging her brother-in-law again. "Please have faith. The OWCA will do everything they can to find Isabella. You know Pinky won't rest till his owner is found, and Perry won't stop until you're happy again."

"I-hic-I guess you're right," Phineas said, slowly getting up.

"Does this mean I can't take over the tri-state area right now?"
