Chapter 4: Pizza clues
Me, my friends and a few other agents teleported over to the Plaza and found a penguin in a blue and silver superhero costume being pushed out of the Pizza Parlor by none other than Jet Pack Guy.
"You'll never stop me MWAHAHAHAHAA!" the penguin ran around us in crazy circles and then ran off into the forest; "You'll see EPF agents the great Tornado will stop you!" he called as he ran.
"He seems one fish too short of a fish dog." Lenny remarked, while the rest of us stood silent.
Suddenly the ground began to shake, "Whoa!" I yelled as Prinsessrock fell over, then the earthquake ended as quickly as it had began.
"Everyone ok?" I asked.
"Yeah I th, think so..." Tweak peeped still covering her eyes in fright.
"What was that? Are you really that hungry for pizza Eva?" Lenny wondered.
"No, that wasn't my tummy. That was an earthquake or a tremor coming from underground." I explained, "It was only a small one, so it didn't cause any damage."
"Apart from me falling over." Prinsessrock mumbled as she brushed some snow off herself, Tweak giggled.
...
We entered the Parlor, which was in a right state, tables and chairs were fallen over, drinks and pizza boxes were on the floor, yellow and black striped tape was hanging over the crime scene, and hot sauce was everywhere all over the floor! I turned round to see Jet standing on top some pizza boxes ordering citizens to go outside.
"Jet!" I smiled,
"Nothing to see here! Oh. It's you. Looks like we've got a real mess on our hands." Jet unfolded his flippers.
"Yeah it sure does, but it's great to see you again Jet." Lenny beamed.
"Yeah great to see you again too." Jet seemed pleased to see us but his serious expression didn't change. "Now Rookie's at the Cove telling everyone the party's off. I've secured the perimeter. You look around for clues."
"Ok Jet, thanks..." I started; suddenly Jet jumped down and ran over to someone in the corner of the Parlour. We gasped, there was Herbert waddling around the fallen chairs. 'Wait, waddling?' I thought as Jet jumped on the bear and the other agents surrounded them.
"Herbert! A criminal always returns to the scene of the crime!" Jet exclaimed.
"What? I'm not Herbert, I'm a penguin!" 'Herbert' cried in a higher voice than usual.
"Have you been breathing Helium Herbert?" another agent asked in a serious tone.
Jet looked at 'Herbert's face and went a darker shade of red. "Um agents this isn't Herbert." Jet got off the 'bear' and helped him up, it was a penguin dressed up as Herbert. "Sorry agent, we thought..."Jet began.
"Yeah I knew who you thought I was, that's the last time I'll wear this costume." The agent huffed and waddled out of the Parlor.
"Well he should have known better than to wear that costume when Herbert's wanted by the EPF." Tweak remarked.
Jet sighed and shook his head, "First a crazy penguin in a superhero costume, then a small earthquake, and now a penguin dressed up as Herbert. What's next? Am I going to go running around wearing a clown suit?!" Everyone went silent.
"Umm, yeah that earthquake was wired." I thought aloud breaking the silence.
"It made the some of the cups fall over in here." Jet pointed to a cup on the counter beside us.
"And it made Prinsessrock fall over outside." Tweak giggled.
"Hey!" Prinsessrock frowned.
"Oh well you'd better go and look for clues." Jet then went back to his post.
Me and Tweak went over to the kitchen doors, which were taped over as it was out of order. A note was on the door, I picked it up the note it said that the Pizzatron 3000 was out of order because the Hot sauce had been stolen. Some hot sauce was covering the rest of the note, so I wiped it off, there was a message from Jet underneath saying 'We're counting on you agent. –JPG' with the Operation: Hot sauce stamp beside it.
"What's this Jet?" I asked,
"I left that there in case you came in when I wasn't around. Guess we don't need it now." He explained and then put the note in his pocket.
"Ok thanks." Tweak quietly added.
We then waddled over to Prinsessrock and Lenny, "Oh thank you for helping us clean the mess." Prinsessrock smiled as one of the palor assistant began to mop the floor.
I stepped in and reminded her, "Prinsessrock we mustn't clean anything this is a crime scene we need to find clues first then we can tidy up." I turned to the assistant "Sorry, you can mop the floor when we've found some clues."
"Oh ok..." the assistant sighed.
"You mean like this clue." Lenny said behind me, I turned around and saw him pointing to a hot sauce paw print beside the counter.
"Well done Lenny, we could take some of this hot sauce from the puddle for G to analyze." I said scooping some of it up and placing it in a bag inside my suitcase.
As I got up I noticed something familiar on top of the pizza oven. "Look Fur!" I exclaimed jumping over the puddle and grabbing the white tuft of fur. I placed the fur in my suitcase too, "There's only one person we know that has white fur." I recalled.
"Herbert!" the agents including Jet, exclaimed.
"I should have known he was behind this!" Jet exclaimed.
Suddenly my spy phone rang; I pulled it out of my pocket as G appeared on its screen. "Good job, agent! Go back to the Command Room and submit your evidence to the lab." He ordered.
"Let's get back to HQ." I said.
"Keep up the good work, agents." Jet added before we teleported away.
