Half-Clothed Amazons?!? – Page 6

“No way!”

“Not our underwear, just the outer layers. Laura and Kristin can dress Tracy and Katie, take them back to the car, then to a hotel, then come back and get us. By the time they reach the hotel, the stuff would have worn off. They can give Laura and Kristin our clothes and come back here. We’ll stay in the pit and keep the natives shocked.”

“Swell.” He said. “Here, Laura.” He said, taking off his shirt. He handed her his clothes, and I threw down mine. I went into the pit, and stood, chilled, next to Noah. “Kinda drafty down here, don’t you think?”

“Yes, it is.” I responded. Laura and Kristin dressed the other two and took them up and to the car. A couple hours later they were back, and they threw down our clothes. We gladly put them on, and scaled the rope. We walked to the car and got in. “Well, I’m sure glad this part of the adventure’s over.”

“Is it? We still don’t know who those two guys were.” Kristin added.

“Yes we do. They were decoys sent by the big lady herself, Amanda.” I stated.

“Your informant?!”

“Yes, she was the mastermind behind it all, and she had me with her all the time so I could not pin her to the theft.”

“How did you finally find out about her?”

“With Noah’s formula on, Amanda slipped and told me that you were in a trap. When I questioned her about it, she told me she had arranged the trap, and that she was behind it all.”

“Wow. I don’t understand, what exactly is this ‘formula’?”

“Let me explain.” Noah jumped in. “It controls a girl through certain senses in the nose. I found that certain smells affect a person in different ways, such as the smell of flowers on a woman. So, then I mixed a certain amount of thing that women were attracted to.”

“Then how come it smells like your socks?” I asked.

“Well, that happens to be my main ingredient.” Noah stated.

“You mean to tell me that girls are attracted to your socks?” Kristin asked in disbelief.

“Yes, partially. You see, the bacteria in the sock smell are a catalyst for the rest of the ingredients.”

“Right Noah.” I said. We then arrived at the hotel. We all exited the car, and went to our respective rooms.

“I hope you don’t mind rooming with your daughter.” Laura said. “I could only get three rooms, and I figured that Noah and I in one, Katie and Tracy in another, and you two in a third.”

“I didn’t think you liked Noah very much.”

“He may be a pain, by I still love him.” She said.

Noah came up to me and whispered, “The socks man, the socks!” I grinned, and we went in.
