Revenge

Chapter 9

"Phewph!" Foamy threw her purchases on the kitchen counter and plopped down on the couch. "That was a long day at the mall!" She said. "Yeah, it was. But it was totally worth it. This new computer is magical." Rachel shared as she set up her new computer. She was right. It was very magical. Maggie came in shortly after and joined her friends on the couch. "That thunderstorm was soooo scary!" She yelled. "Oh my gosh, I know right!" Foamy agreed. "It was sooo loud!" Rachel chimed in. "Yeah, it scared the yeebeejibees out of me!" Maggie said, still shaken up from the storm. "Same. I don't think I've ever heard such loud thunder in my life!" Foamy replied. Just then, Jimmy walked in and threw his purchases next to his wife's on the counter. "Jimmyyyyyy, my feet hurt!" Foamy whined. "Can you give me a foot massage?" Foamy looked at Jimmy with big puppy eyes. "Pweeeeease?" Jimmy gave in. "Ugh, fine." "Yay!" Jimmy knelt down and started massaging Foamy's feet. Everyone was silently doing their own thang for a while when Maggie spoke up. "I feel bad for Charlie, he had to miss our trip to the mall today." "Yeah, Jackie said the-" Foamy suddenly stopped and looked at her friends. "Jackie!" Everyone looked at her like she had turqoise eyebrows. "Jackie? What about Jackie?" Maggie asked nonchalantly. "Ohhhhh Jackie! Where is she? And Alyssa? Where did they go?" Maggie jumped off the couch and ran around the house, calling for Jackie and Alyssa. Rachel pulled out her phone and called Alyssa, while Foamy did the same with Jackie. Both went straight to voicemail. Maggie came back to the living room empty-handed. "Jimmy, have you seen them? Were they in the truck on the way home?" Foamy asked her husband. "No, I haven't seen them. I'll go see if they're in the truck, maybe they fell asleep on the ride home or something." Jimmy said as he ran out to the garage. Foamy, Rachel and Maggie sat on the couch, discussing Jackie and Alyssa's disappearance when Jimmy entered empty-handed. "Where could they have gone?" Maggie wondered, panicking. "I don't know, but we have to find them!" Foamy said as she stood up and ran to the window. Just as she peeked through the curtains, lightning flashed and there was a rumble of thunder. It was pouring rain and very windy. "We can't leave them alone out in this storm, we have to go find them!" Foamy said as she ran out to the garage, got in the truck and started it. "Wait!" Rachel, Maggie and Jimmy came racing after Foamy. They jumped in and Foamy sped out of the garage. Foamy drove back to the mall, which was close to closing time, but Jimmy talked the mall personnel into letting them stay until they found their friends. The four friends ran off in opposite directions, frantically searching every inch of the mall. After they covered the whole mall, the four friends met up in the middle, everyone showing up empty-handed and drenched in sweat. "Okay..." Foamy said, panting. "Let's go back to the truck." Jimmy, Foamy, Maggie and Rachel were sitting in the truck discussing where they should look next, when suddenly, Robin Sparkles jumped out of the trunk and started singing Let's Go To The Mall. Everyone groaned and Maggie reached back and slapped Robin in the face. That shut her up. Finally, Jimmy took the wheel and decided to just cruise around New York City and look for Jackie and Alyssa. It was a big city, they could be anywhere. Jimmy, Foamy, Maggie and Rachel called and searched for their friends, but they were nowhere to be seen. After about an hour of searching, they had reached the sketchy part of the city. "Okay guys, be quiet, this part of the city is sketchy." Jimmy warned the girls as he rolled up the windows. The four friends kept their eyes peeled for Jackie and Alyssa as they quietly drove down the sketchy old roads of the city. Suddenly, Jimmy spotted a figure in a black hoodie carrying a gun. "Get down!" He whisper-shouted to his wife and friends. The girls did as they were told and ducked out of sight. Jimmy kept his eyes on the road and sped up. "Okay, we're good." The girls sat up. "Why did we have to duck?" Foamy asked her husband. "There was a sketchy guy carrying a gun. I didn't want him to see you attractive girls. You're more at risk in places like this because you're pretty girls." Jimmy explained. "Am I a pretty girl?" Maggie asked in a drunk party girl voice. Everyone giggled until they were interrupted by a scream. It wasn't just any scream, the four friends recognized it at once. "Jackie." The four of them said at the same time, jumping out of the truck and following the distinctive scream. Thunder boomed and lightning flashed above them. The rain was still coming down hard, soaking the four friends, but they didn't care. All they wanted to do was save their friends. At last, they heard the scream again and arrived at what seemed to be the source. It was a sketchy, run-down wooden building. Rachel kicked down the door and ninja rolled in first, followed by Maggie, then Jimmy, then Foamy. Jackie's scream sounded one last time, and the four friends followed it up some creaky old stairs. Rachel gasped at the sight before her. There stood a man in a black hoodie, pointing a gun at Alyssa, who was tied up in a chair, her body limp. Jackie was tied up in another chair, watching the man in black, horrified. "Oh no..." Maggie gasped as she came up behind Rachel. Jimmy stepped in front of the three girls, protecting them from being seen. Then, he took the leap.
