Chapter eight: T.V Culprit

 

“I want my Michael home so badly.” Hilde remarked, “Life’s just not worth it if I can’t see his smile.”

 

“Ssh!” replied Catherine. “I know. I miss Jimmy so much, the silence is unbearable if he’s not there to cause it. We have to do this though, Hilde. I Know Relena  said there was nothing in this old church, but this is the only thing we can do.”

 

“Look up there!” Mae Linh called out. “Someone fixed our old T.V. to watch a show!” She looked behind a huge strange machine, and  saw many plugs and extention chords mangled up.  For some reason.

 

Remembering something, Mae Linh asked Hilde to confirm it. “Hilde, wasn’t there a couple failed time machines kept in here?”

 

“Yeah” said Hilde, “so?”

 

“There is only one.” Mae Linh replied dryly.

 

Sure enough they noticed a car was gone.

 

“OHMIGOD!!” cried  Hilde,  “But, no! We made extra sure they were broken! They could never work!”

 

“You mean,” replied Mae Linh, “we never figured out how they worked.”

 

“Mae Linh?” Hilde asked dryly, “If it worked, aren’t they going to be in A.C. 197? One month before it blows up?”

 

“Yes.” Replied Mae Linh.

 

“Dammit! They could actually change the future for the worse!” Then Hilde began to shake at the next thing she would have to say. “What if the scientists…, Damn! Girls, what are we gonna do!?”

 

“First,” said Dorothy “Contact Ms. Relena. Second. Contact Dr. J.”

 

 

 

 “Oh, so now you feel I am important enough to inform about this!?” said Dr. J.

 

“Be quiet! If Relena even knows were calling you on this vidscreen we’d be toast!” argued Hilde.

 

Mingh Loh replied softly but firmly. “We need your help. Just yours. Any of the others find out, and I will take you out with my own hands.” Then she suddenly raised her voice. “Do you understand me weakling!”

 

“I won’t tell the other doctor’s anything.” Dr J. replied. “But how did it work? It never worked for me or you girls, so how did the kids figure it out?”

 

“Well, we were sort of hoping you could tell us that, and see if you could get the second machine figured out. We need to get our children back!” said Catherine.

 

“How should I know how to do that?!” said Dr. J. “If I knew how to get any of those useless machines to actually work, would I have left them rotting away in some church?”

 

“Well, figure it out.” Dorothy said. “Although I’m sure you know where we live, I know where you live, too. I also know  that you have really been enjoying your life on that private beach of yours in Phloston Paradise, and it would be a shame for you to lose your life now of all times.”

 

Then Dorothy’s voice gradually got angrier and louder. “But, if my son so much as loses one shred of hair in the past, I will not hesitate to grab that little umbrella in your drink and shove it down your no-good neck!!”

 

Dr. J. lifted his little umbrella drink towards the vidscreen and looked at it. “I’ll do my best, but I can’t guarantee anything.”

 

“That’s fine,” said Dorothy with a smirk, “because I can’t really guarantee  anything about your safety either.”

 

The girls turned off the vidscreen. Then they looked at each other.

 

“Relena will never forgive us for calling Dr. J.” said Catherine. “Dorothy? How did Relena take the news?”

 

“…,  I couldn’t tell her.” Said Dorothy softly.

 

“What!” they said in unison.

 

“You know she wouldn’t agree to it. It’d be too risky for her.” Dorothy replied.

 

“It’s risky for everyone!” Mae Linh answered back. “It is necessary though in order to get our children back.”

 

“You’re right.” Said Dorothy. “I’ll call Miss Relena back, but we should all discuss this matter together.”

 

“When will Dr. J come?” asked Catherine.

 

“Most likely an hour. Dorothy, call Relena now.” Hilde said sternly. Dorothy picked up the Vidscreen  and punched in Relena’s call number. Relena’s face appears on the Vidscreen.

 

“Hello Dorothy. Why are you calling me?”

 

“We called Dr. J.” was how Dorothy responded.

 

The other girls stared at Dorothy. Leave it to her to go straight to the point.  

 

Relena gasped, “You did what! How could you! We agreed to keep him the hell out of our lives, and you call him! He could be on the scientists side! He could have helped kidnap the children!!”  Relena bellowed.

 

“Relena, Honey. Calm down,” Hilde said. “We checked out the old church and found out one of Dr. J.’s stupid time machines worked. It’s pretty safe to assume that the kids figured out how to make it work.”

 

“What?” Relena looked stunned.

 

“If they didn’t mess with the time monitor, they should have arrived in the year A.C. 197 November 16^th at 9:00 p.m. one block away from the gundam’s hangar.” Hilde stated.

 

“…We need to get them back.” Relena said firmly.

 

“That’s why we called Dr. J Relena.” Said Catherine.

 

“What if he tells the other scientists?” Relena asked.

 “Then we will personally kill’em.”said Dortohy coldly.

 

Relena was silent for a moment. “Fine. I’m coming over with Zeches.”

 

“Agreed.” Replied Dorothy.

 

The girls turned the Vidscreen off, and waited for Dr. J to arrive.
