"Time to recruit another psycho". I got another call from the professor. "What's up doc"? "You guys will be adding one more duo to your group. Good luck". Then he hung up. "The man never even gives me time to reply", I said, putting my device in my pocket. "What is it", Lorenzo asked. "Another duo's gonna be joining us". "God, what's this man trying to do"? We took the flight to Vancouver and arrived in the area. "Guys, I've just realized something. He got all of us back together, I think I know the new duo. The only people we're missing are-", Lorenzo was cut off.
"Cherry and Blade", Marceline shouted. I turned around and saw Cherry and Blade walking up to us, smiling. I hugged Cherry, "I haven't seen you in so long"! "I know, I really missed you", she laughed. "Your hair got so long", I said, looking at her red and white locs. They stopped a bit past her bottom. "I know, I love them", she said, flipping them. "And here I am with my short, dead hair". "Oh, you'll be fine". "Hey Blade", I said, giving him a high five. "It's been a minute", he laughed. "I know, how ya been"? "Been good, as good as a spy could be". "Cool, that's good".
"Well isn't the culprit supposed to be somewhere around here", Freyaj asked, looking around. "Yeah, where is she"? Just then, a red Hell Cat pulled up in the lot. "That's a nice car", Clover smiled. A girl with brownish-red hair stepped out. Her hair was long and wavy and she was wearing sunglasses. She had on a white shirt with a black leather jacket and black jeans. Her brown heels stopped at her ankles. She had a gun in her back pocket. I took a deep breath and got a whiff of her smell. "Bromine", I whispered. "She's the toxin", Freyaj asked.
"Yeah, I think so". My skin started to get irritated. Is this one of her side effects? "Blitz, is something wrong"? "No, I'm fine", I said, scratching my arm. She looked over before walking into the building. I turned around to see that it was a large chocolate factory. "I think this is her job", Lorenzo said. He pulled out his phone and called the professor. "Professor Light, is the toxin we're catching Bromine"? "Correcto Mundo. Her name is Beatrice Holloway, she's 22 years old and works at Pop's Chocolate factory. Her father is the owner of the place".
"She's been infecting the chocolate with Bromine, making its consumers heavily sick". "So she's been killing people"? "Yeah-". "But is she doing it on purpose"? "There wouldn't be such large amounts of Bromine in it unless she was doing it purposefully". Lorenzo hung up and turned to the rest of us. "Are you guys ready"? "Always", Marceline smiled. We knocked out a couple of workers and took their outfits. When we got inside there were people cleaning things, forming candy bars, and stirring chocolate. We went over to where people were stirring the mix. "Billy", a voice shouted. We turned around and saw a large man with brown skin and a chef's hat grabbing Lorenzo's shoulder.
We looked at the name tag on Lorenzo's shirt, "Billy". "Billy, what the hell are you doing all the way over here? Get back to cleaning these floors"! Lorenzo shrugged and followed the man. "Talia and Nikki, Pop wants you over here, shaping the candy", a girl with a strong Italian accent. We all looked at our name tags. She was talking to Marceline and Freyaj. They followed her. Now I was with Clover, Blade, and Cherry. We saw Beatrice stirring the chocolate. There was a slight amount of Bromine coming from her body. "Beatrice", I shouted her name. "I only go my Bea", she shouted back. "Can you smell me"? "I smelled you when you walked through the door, I only waited for when you approached me".
"What you're doing is wrong". "What Professor Wilson did to me was also wrong". "You didn't want to become a toxin-"? "No- and I'm sure you didn't choose this either. I hate being this way. I lost my Italian looks, and I'm also stuck having people like you wanting to kill me". "I'm only here because you keep doing what you're doing". "And I ain't goin' down without a fight".
