Chapter Six The
Queen of Denial
There was one good thing about being terrified it pumped a
body full of adrenaline, and Brad was using all of his right now.P He lunged wildly to his right, rolling onto
the concrete and bowling into Drews legs, sending him crashing onto his
back.P The diamond-tipped boomerang
sailed over his head with a thwang, and sliced through an air
conditioning unit, filling the night with a shower of electrical sparks.
What is your problem, pal?!? shouted Brad.P You almost took my head off!P Twice!
Drew blinked a couple of times, as a new pair of eyes formed
from the ample supply of nanobots in his body.P
What the heck is going on out there yeep.
Rojack reached up to catch his boomerang again, which folded
and stowed away in his right hand.P Then
he silently walked towards Brad and Drew with a confident, lumbering
stride.P He looked down at the two
trespassers, letting his intimidating presence do the talking for him.
Brad just stared back at him, then gathered some nerve and
stuck out his chest.P Oh, Ill just bet
youd like for us to run off scared.P
After all, youve got something to hide here, dont you?P You and your money-bags boss?P Well, I work for the Tremorton Tribune.P Um sort of well, for the rest of this
week, anyway!P And Ive got a few
questions for you, tough guy.
Rojack smiled, and looked at the camera that Brad was still
clutching onto.P He gestured with a
massive hand give it to me.
My camera?!P
No way, it belongs to the newspaper!P
Ill get in trouble!
The eight-foot robot reached out to grab the camera, but
Drew stepped forward to block him.P
Look, Ro-jerk, knock off the robot gangster act.P He said you cant have the camera …
Rojacks left arm grabbed Drew around the neck, and lifted
him six feet into the air.P His hand
briefly glowed yellowish-white, then a massive electrical surge shot through
Drews entire body.P His arms and legs
flailed wildly, until he finally lost solid form and flowed out of Rojacks
grip, sloshing into a pile of silver sludge.P
It bubbled for a few seconds, and then a blob flowed up, oozing into the
shape of Drews head.
His eyes were still spinning around in their sockets.P Like I was saying hed be more
than happy to give you the camera.
Brad gripped it tightly in his hands, then grinned with an
idea.P Okay, okay.P You win, Rojack.P Please dont hurt us.P
Here, the cameras all yours.P
He held up the camera
And set off the flash on rapid-fire at its highest
setting.P Rojack shielded his eyes,
dazzled and distracted.P Brad grabbed
Drew by his still-reforming shoulders and shook him.P Lets get our butts out of here!
They took off in a sprint, back towards the alleyway.P It was forty feet back down to street
level.P They looked back to see Rojack
barreling towards them at a full charge.P
No time for climbing, said Drew.P
We gotta take the express elevator.P
He wrapped his arms around Brads chest from behind, and jumped off
of the ledge.
Before he could even shout in protest, Brad felt himself
rushing towards the ground face-first.P
Drews supple legs formed extra joints, and his feet turned into long
claws.P He dug his claw-feet into the
brick wall, filling the air with dust and grit, but also slowing their falling
speed.P Carving two huge grooves in the
wall, they came to a stop a few inches from the ground.
Drew set Brad down, and pulled his legs out of the wall,
flowing them back to normal.P Hey,
after this is over, laughed Brad, I want to do that again!
They both jumped as the whole alley shuddered
violently.P Rojack had jumped down from
the roof, landing with crushing force on the pavement.P The robot brute stood up, unfazed by the
fall, and deployed the boomerang from his right arm
Run, Forrest, run! shouted Drew.P They were still in the narrow alleyway, which was a little too
confining for comfort.P They made it
around the corner just as a shrieking whine whistled past them.P Brad could swear he felt the diamond tips
nipping at the lapels of his jacket.P
The boomerang sailed past them and sliced through a streetlight post,
toppling it to the sidewalk with a metallic crash.
Drew glanced back to see Rojack roar around the corner,
gaining on them with surprising speed.P
He looked around frantically, desperate for ideas.P He got one as he noticed a delivery truck
speed past them.
What do you say we hitch a ride?!? he shouted to
Brad.P They ran into the street and
jumped onto the back of the delivery van.P
Brad got his footing and held on with one hand, while protecting the
camera in the other.P Drew slushed
himself onto the top of the van, and pulled Brad up after him.
Brad held the camera in his hand like a trophy, and waved,
laughing.P Rojack was still running down
the sidewalk after them, but rapidly falling behind.P Buh-bye, Ro-joke!P Go
soak your head in a bucket of oil!P Your
boss is going to turn you into a Coke machine!P
You pile of rusty
Rojack took a pair of long strides, then planted his feet
and propelled himself into the air.P
Brad and Drew stared, amazed, as Rojack jumped over a hundred feet,
sailing directly towards them.P He was
about to land right on top of the delivery van.P Rojack grinned down at them viciously
Drew flattened his body out, and flowed into a smooth layer
on top of the delivery vans roof.P
Rojack crashed down on the slick, silvery-green surface and kept on
going.P There was zero friction, like a
super non-stick coating.P An
eighteen-wheeler was speeding towards them in the oncoming lane.P The black-and-silver robot slid off of the
roof of the delivery van and fell directly into the path of the big rig.P With a horrific crash, twenty tons of truck
slammed into Rojack, then rumbled over his body, as it rolled and clattered
down the street.
Drews head popped back up, and his body started to
re-form.P Now thats gotta
hurt, he smiled to Brad.
Yes!P We did it!
Brad shouted into the wind, as the truck sped along.P And best of all, Ive got everything on film, right in this
little baby.P He patted the camera,
which was filled with all of the photos hed taken of Marquis workshop, and
the weird stuff inside of it
And the camera split neatly into two halves, sliced right
down the middle.
Brad and Drew shared a shocked expression for a few
seconds.P Then Brad just screamed in
disgust and frustration.P The boomerang
hadnt missed its target after all.
More than a mile behind them, a horrified driver climbed
down from the cab of his diesel truck.P
Smoke and steam poured from an gash in the grill, and oil was leaking
onto the road.P The trucker ran back to
see what he had run over
He was stunned to see the massive black and silver,
barrel-chested robot sit up, get to its feet, and gather its bearings.P Rojack regained his composure, and brushed
some dust off of his double-M insignia.P
He looked down the road, in the direction that the teenagers had
escaped, with a cold, nasty stare.P Then
he silently stepped around the astounded truck driver, walked past his ruined
vehicle, and calmly headed back towards the Marquis Diamonds building.
Brad nervously paced back and forth in front of his
locker.P Normally, he and Jenny shared
first period geometry, but she hadnt been to class this morning.P That wasnt completely unusual for Jenny,
and she might have been off fighting aliens, or stopping a natural
disaster.P But after what hed seen last
night, Brad was starting to get a little worried for his best friend.P Maximillian Marquis was not the charming
patron that he pretended to be.P Jenny
might be in real danger, from someone she trusted.P Maybe something bad had already happened.
Okay, Brad, calm down, said Drew, who didnt look all that
calm himself.P I asked around a little
and nobodys seen her yet today.P But
come on, Jenny can take care of herself, right?
Yeah, I suppose so, sighed Brad, but shes been acting a
little goofy ever since this whole modeling thing started.P I dont think shes thinking straight.P By the way, did you have any luck in the
library?
Drew shook his head.P
Couldnt find anything on Moonsword that made any sense.P It sounds like something from one of those
goofy dungeons-and-dragons games.P We
should find ourselves a nerd and see if he knows what it means.
Speaking of nerds, smiled Brad, watching a clumsy figure
make his way down the hallway.P Sheldon
was walking towards them, with an eager look on his face, clutching a dozen
roses.P Brad laughed to himself poor
Sheldon just didnt give up.
Hey guys, he panted, have either of you seen Jenny?P She wasnt in second period, and nobody
knows where she is.P I wanted to give
her a good-luck bouquet for her big debut.
We were just wondering the same thing, Sheldon, answered
Brad.P Nobodys seen her since she went
to work last night.P He didnt say, since
we were spying on her last night.
We probably wont see much of her after tonight,
either, he sighed, almost mournfully.P
I suppose I should have realized that a beauty like hers was too great
to be confined to one tiny little town like Tremorton.P She belongs to the world now,
gentlemen.P We should count ourselves
lucky to have caught a glimpse of the beginning of her epic journey to
stardom.
Brad and Drew just rolled their eyes at each other.
Just then, the double doors at the end of hall swung open,
and Brad had to shield his eyes from a bright, dazzling light.P Drew couldnt believe his eyes.P Sheldon just stared, with his jaw hanging
down around his navel.
Jenny strolled elegantly down the hallway towards them, with
flashes and twinkles of light shining from nearly every part of her body.P Her normal teal color had been painted over
with an icy, sparkling bluish white that seemed to be mixed with thousands of
tiny glimmering crystals.P Her arms and
face were glistening with a frosty glaze.P
She looked like a walking jewel, covered with an cloak of dazzling
sparkles that nearly overwhelmed the senses.P
She wasnt glowing she was shining.
And she was trailing a huge crowd of astonished admirers,
amazed at her transformation from clumsy teenager into school celebrity.P She smiled to herself, pretending not to
notice the effect she was having on her fellow students but she knew, and she
was enjoying it immensely.
The boys stared, dumbstruck, as Jenny approached them.P She spoke with a casual, almost flippant
tone as students crowded around her.P
Hello.P Yes, hello there.P No touching, please.P Hello, darling.P Ah Bradley, Andrew, Sheldon always nice to see you.
Brad arched an eyebrow, trying to make sense of things.P Ahhhh hey there, Jenny.P Whats with
Ah, ah, ah, she said, wagging a finger.P Jennifre, please.P Jenny is so pedestrian, so dclass.
Sheldon, lost in a lovestruck gaze, managed to croak out a
few incoherent squeaks.
Holy smoke, whats with the attitude? Brad
wondered.P Well, Jennifre,
where have you been all morning?P And
and whats the deal with that stuff all over you?
Jenny struck a pose, resting her hand on her hip.P Ha, ha, ha oh, Bradley, your concern is
so amusing.P This, stuff, as
you put it, is a special surprise that Max oh, Im sorry, Mr. Marquis had
made just for me, for the show tonight.P
Its paint, mixed up with finely ground diamond dust.P I had to get my first application last
night, and another this morning, to give it proper time to dry.P You cant rush beauty, you know.
Sheldon finally managed to untangle his tongue.P Jenny!P
I mean Jennifre!P I mean
these are for you!P He held out the
bouquet of roses to her, with sweat rolling down his forehead, still stunned by
Jennys sparkling new look.
More flowers.P
Yes, very charming, Sheldon, she said with a patronizing tone.P Then she snapped her fingers and raised her
voice.P Brit!P Tiff!
The Krust cousins fought their way through the mob, elbowing
and shoving students aside, in answer to Jennys summons.P Brit was carrying Jennys backpack, and Tiff
was carrying several bags stuffed with supplies in each hand.P They each looked tired, and huffed as they
finally caught up to Jenny.P Brit pasted
a big smile on her face and wiped a loose strand of hair from her face.P Im so sorry we fell behind,
Jennifre!P We got a little er trampled
by your fans.
Yes, they do get a little enthusiastic, dont they?P Jenny gestured towards Sheldons roses.P Tiffany, be a dear and do something with these,
will you?
Im all over it, maam!P
Tiff snatched the roses out of Sheldons hand and jammed them in one of
her tote bags.
I cant let anything smudge the finish on my outer shell,
you see.P Its all so very
inconvenient, smiled Jenny.
Brad was starting to lose his patience.P Listen, Jenny, weve got something
really important to tell you.P I dont
think you can trust that Marquis guy!P I
know I sure dont trust him.P And I
dont think you should go to that fancy show at his mansion tonight.P You might be in danger!
Jenny laughed.P Oh,
Bradley, still with your fantasies about evil masterminds and master
plots?P The only thing Ill be in danger
of tonight is going blind from all of the camera flashbulbs going off in my
face.P Max has been a perfect gentleman
to me all week long, and hes going to make me an international
supermodel.P Maybe youre just a little
bit jealous that Im spending so much time around a rich, successful, cultured
man?P Dont worry, Bradley.P I wont forget the little people when Im
famous.
She fanned her face a bit.P
My, Im feeling a bit overheated.P
Brittany, be a sweetie and open up a can for me, will you?
Brit grabbed a tote bag from Tiff, fumbled around, and
pulled out a can of motor oil.P Here
you go, dear!P Just give me a
second!P It took Brit a few tries to
get the spout in the can, and she spilled some oil on her blouse in the
process.P My fault!P Clumsy me.P
Here you are!
Jenny leaned to sip from the spout, then What is this?P This is 10-W-40!P Do I look like a farm tractor to you?!?P I specifically asked for 10-W-30!P Lightweight!
Im so sorry!P
Stupid, stupid me!P I Ill be
right back!P Brit took off down the
hall.
And make sure its Venezuelan this time! Jenny
shouted after her.P She turned with a
smile.P Well this has all been so much
fun, boys we really must do it again soon.P
Have your people call my people.P
Gotta run now.P Toodles.P Come on, Tiffany.P And with that, Jenny, Tiff, and her entourage paraded away, down
the hall.
Drew stared in absolute disbelief.P Parallel universe.P
Thats gotta be it.P Weve
been flung into a parallel universe.P
He nudged Sheldons shoulder, looking for signs of life.P The poor fellow was a statue, with a look of
rapturous bliss pasted over his face.
Sheldon finally spoke.P
I never knew that angels flew so low, he sighed.
Brad frowned.P Im
not sure if angel is the word Im looking for.P Man, theres no way shes going to listen to us.P Im telling you, something big is going to
happen at that mansion tonight.P
Something big is going to happen, and we need to be there to keep an eye
on Jenny, whether she wants it or not.
Oh, and just how are we supposed to do that? Drew asked
sarcastically.P Youd have to be a
millionaire to get invited to that place tonight.P And seeing as how youre oh, about a million dollars short, I
cant say that I like your chances.P And
without one of Jennifres invitations, theres no way that a high
school student is getting in to the diamond show.
Im going to be at the diamond show, said a voice from
behind them.P Miguel had been getting a
few books from his locker, and had overheard their conversation.
Youre going to be at Maximillian Marquis swanky mansion
tonight? asked Brad, surprised.
Yeah, Im working there.P
My dad owns a temp agency, and he got the contract to supply a whole
bunch of extra servants for that big fancy shindig.P Those millionaires love having guys come around with the little
trays of cheese and fish eggs and junk!P
Kind of a drag, but hey, alls I know is that those are some muy grande
tippers.P This time tomorrow, Im
going to be shopping for my new mountain bike!
A wide smile grew on Brads face.P You say that Marquis is hiring a whole bunch of temps to work at
his party tonight?
Drew slapped his face.P
Oh, no.
Brad patted Miguel on the shoulder.P Think he could use two more?P Who agree to give you all the money
they make on the night?
Miguel grinned.P
Brad, amigo lets talk business!
