The Adventures of C.E.L.E.

Escaping Prison

 After saving Chary from Dr. Armando's older brother, the members of C.E.L.E. were back at home when they heard some big news. A movie star named Eva Rowan and her stunt double were coming to Minnesota!

After Eva arrived there, she gave a speech, and everyone saw her with her stunt double, who was named Anita and had pale skin, long black hair, and bright blue eyes. After the speech, Eva told everyone she was going to stay for two weeks. However, one week later, Anita was missing!

"This looks like a job for C.E.L.E.!" Lila yelled as she and her colleagues ran out the door. They looked around Minnesota all day looking for Anita, but she was nowhere to be found.

The next day, a policeman, Eva, and a man they never saw before came to their house and demanded that they search around the entire house. Three minutes later, they asked the members of C.E.L.E. to go into a room, and inside was Anita, who was tied to a chair and gagged!

"Anita! How did you get here?" the policeman asked Anita after he untied her and removed the gag.

"I was knocked out cold, and when I woke up, I saw these four people, and they tied me to this chair and gagged me," Anita replied.

"That's not true! We literally spent the entire day looking for her after we learned she was missing!" Elina explained because this was the truth.

"Members of C.E.L.E., I am very disappointed in you. To punish you for kidnapping the stunt double of Eva Rowan, you are under arrest," the policeman told the members of C.E.L.E. as he pulled out some handcuffs. He then put handcuffs on the wrists of Lila, Elina, and Elliott.

"I did not do anything wrong, same as all my friends, so if you want to arrest me, you will need to fight me!" Chary yelled as she began to do some karate moves. Unfortunately, the policeman also knew karate and was able to handcuff her. Because of this, the dogs, Connie and Patch, began attacking the policeman. They were unsuccessful, and the police put paw cuffs on their paws as well.

He then took out all of the people he had arrested out to his car and took them to jail. When they made it to jail, they took mugshots and gave them their jail suits.

"Ugh, orange is totally not my color. Do you have a yellow suit instead?" Chary asked. After a groan, the police pulled out a yellow jail suit and gave it to Chary. After Chary received her new yellow jail suit, the other members of C.E.L.E. asked for different colors as well. So when they finally were in their jail cell Lila was wearing hot pink, Chary was wearing yellow, Elina was wearing bright blue, and Elliott was wearing neon green (Connie and Patch were wearing mini orange suits). Their cell had two bunk beds, a toilet, a sink, and two moth-eaten doggie beds for Connie and Patch.

"We need to get out of here! Elliott, do you have a saw?" Chary asked Elliott. Elliott dug through his pockets. He then pulled out a saw a handed it to Chary. After getting the saw, Chary walked up to the wall and began sawing at it.

"Chary, what are you doing?" Elina asked.

"I am getting us out of here," Chary replied.

While Chary was sawing at the wall, Lila was thinking to herself on her bed. Finally, after three minutes, Chary decided the saw was too weak to saw through the wall and set the saw down.

"Guys, I've been thinking. What if it wasn't Anita in the room of our house," Lila said after Chary stopped sawing at the wall.

"What do you mean?" Chary asked.

"The first time we saw Anita, she had a very light amount of makeup on, but the second time, her face looked like it was caked in makeup," Lila explained. "That made me think, what if it was just someone pretending to be Anita to frame us," Lila concluded.

"That means the real Anita might still be missing!" Elliott said.

"Do you have a hammer?" Chary asked Elliott. Elliott gave her a hammer from his pocket. After getting the hammer, Chary walked up to the wall she was sawing at and began hammering at it as hard as possible.

"Wait, Chary! That's going to be way too loud! The guards are going to hear that!" Lila yelled over the very loud hammering. Sure enough, the guards came in to see Chary trying to hammer the wall down. The guards took the saw and the hammer and left. So the members of C.E.L.E. went to bed.

The next morning at 6, Lila woke up. Thinking of the prison movies she watched, she figured out a way to escape. She took some pieces of fabric and tied them together to make a very long rope. Finally, at 7:30, the others woke up.

"Hey, guys! Last night I had a dream that I think could work as our prison escape!" Elliott said excitedly. "We plug the sink and turn it on high, we put my weather machine on high rain, and then when the guards open the door, we swim our way out!" Elliott explained. They clogged the sink, turned it on high, pulled out the weather machine, and turned it on high rain.

Five minutes later, the cell's water was so high that everyone in it had to go on the top bunks. When the guards opened the door, Chary and Lila grabbed Connie and Patch and swam out of the cell with Elina and Elliott. They were almost out when a guard was able to catch them and brought them back to their cell. After the guards left with the weather machine, Lila explained her idea of how to escape.

"We make dummies of ourselves to make it look like we are in here, but we wouldn't; we chisel down the bars, tie a rope to one of them, and then we climb down out of here," Lila explained.

"How are we going to get a rope, though?" Chary asked. Lila took out the rope she made with the fabric that morning.

"When did you have time to do that?" Elliott asked.

"I had to do something when I was waiting for you guys to wake up," Lila replied. So the four put their plan into action. So they made dummies that had a recorded message saying they were sick and wanted to be left alone; they then chiseled down the bars of the cell.

"Tomorrow, we wake up at 6 and escape," Lila said before they all went to bed that night. 6 am finally came. They all woke up that morning. After tying the rope to the remaining bar, they grabbed Connie and Patch and climbed down the line. After getting to the bottom, they tugged on the bound fabric so it would come down and quietly escaped the prison grounds.

"Now that we are out of prison, we need to find the real Anita," Lila said. They began to look all around town until they finally came to the docks to see the man who came to their house with the real Anita, who was tied up and gagged in a boat along with him.

"Elina and Elliott, save Anita. Chary, come with me," Lila said. They then swam out to the boat the two people were on. While Chary had a karate match with the man, Lila knocked him out cold. After Elina and Elliott untied Anita and removed her gag, Anita explained what had happened.

"I was sitting on the porch of the house that I was staying at when two people, a man, and a woman, came up to me, and before I was able to escape, they put a sack over me. After about twenty minutes, they let me out of the sack to show that I was at a hotel. This time though, the woman looked just like me! They tied me to a chair and gagged me while they were gone, and the next time the door opened, the man was there alone. He left the next morning, and when he came back, he took me to the docks and brought me out on the boat hoping to drown me," Anita explained.

"We need to get you back to Eva," Lila proclaimed. They went to the house where Eva was staying. When Eva opened the door to see the real Anita, she gasped.

"How can there be two Anitas? And which one of you is the real one?" Eva asked.

"This is the real Anita; the other one is an imposter," Chary explained as Lila went up to the fake Anita to remove the black wig to reveal very curly red hair. They went to the docks to see the man who was with Anita when she was captured.

"What have you done with my husband?" the woman who was pretending to be Anita asked with a horrified look on her face.

"He's still alive. He's just knocked out. He probably will be conscious again.... When you both are in prison," Elina explained. The police came and arrested the evil couple and allowed the members of C.E.L.E. to be free.
