Can Anyone Find a Gas Station? – Page 6

“I think Noah took a vial this morning and put a drop on him to sweeten Laura up and got a little more than he bargained for.” I told Katie. “Don’t worry, Laura, I’ll come up and we’ll get him back.”

“Good. Because I love … that idiot had better get his butt back here before I get mad. Imagine, running off with a bunch of half-clothed women!”

“Oh no, Katie, it looks like Noah and his new friends are moving away faster than I thought. They are all ready out of range for the formula to work on Laura!” I told Katie. We hurried back to the cliff, climbed our ropes, and found Laura.

“Well, it’s about time you two showed up!” She exclaimed. “By now, Noah’s probably being forced to marry some amazon queen or something!”

“Calm down Laura. Noah can take care of himself.” I said, trying to comfort her.

“That’s what I’m worried about!” She responded.

“Good point.” I returned.

“But what about Aunt Tracy and Kristin?” Katie inquired. “We just can’t leave them in some trap!”

“Another good point. Why don’t you two go and see if you can find and rescue Noah. They may get defensive if another guy were to show up in their village. I’ll see if I can find Tracy and Kristin. Call me when you find him. I bet Noah left you a trail.”

“Not if he was enjoying the idea!” Laura responded. I smiled then left the two of them to find Noah. I climbed back down to the cave, and entered it. Putting on the night-seeing device, I looked around. Seeing odd shaped markings on the sides of the cave, I began to wonder what inhabited the cave. I searched for a while, and then realized that I had lost myself inside. I sat down, opened the bag, and dug out my walkie talkie.

“This is Ricky Ricardo to Lucy. Ricky to Lucy, are you there Lucy?”

“Yes Ricky, this is Lucy.”

“Lucy, have you and Ethel found Fred yet?”

“Not yet, but were close to the neighbor’s apartment.”

“Well, once you find him, come help me. I’m lost inside this dark closet.”

“Why not just open the door, or turn the light on?”

“I found a secret passage behind it, and that’s where I’m lost.”

“Oh. That far in. How will we find you?”

“Fred can use one of his tools.”

“Oh. Well, good-bye Ricky.”

“Good-bye Lucy.” I said, terminating my conversation with Katie.
