Ch. 13

Jimmy lives in a box . . .

Jimmy asks Lucy how she knew the combination for the safe. Lucy explains that the combination was the date of Michelle’s grandfather’s death: 12/08/1980. So they move and begin searching the beach. The cool breeze is as cool as the other side of the pillow. They notice a small shack further down the beach. The shack is small and pathetic. As they get closer they see a sign on the shack that says, “Not Michelle’s super secret hideout . . . I promise.” Jimmy and Lucy conclude that it must not be her hideout, but decide to knock on the door jut in case. Nobody answers the door, but Jimmy forgot how strong he is and instantly vaporizes the shack door. As the door disappeared, the sight of Michelle electrifies Jimmy . . . mainly because she was half-naked. Michelle yells at them to get out, but Jimmy explains that they’re technically not inside the shack, only in front of the now vaporized door. Michelle’s face has a huge vein that had grown exponentially during Jimmy’s explanation. She appears to have steam flowing out of her ears. She takes out two guns, “I call these two Eleanor and Prudence.” Jimmy’s eyes pop out and he dives to the side and out of view. Since he just reacted, Jimmy has tackled Lucy by accident. They make eye contact on the floor, and there’s a sudden pause, but Lucy snaps out of it and punches Jimmy in the face and calls him a jerk. Michelle comes out of the shack with Eleanor and Prudence in hand. Jimmy kicks sand and temporarily blinds Michelle. He gets to his feet and punches her across the face. Jimmy turns to Lucy, 

“I never thought I’d ever have to hit a woman.” Michelle reaches for Eleanor, but Lucy kicks it away. 

“Let me introduce you to my eldest weapon, her name is Martha.” Michelle says with a rebellious grin as she yanks out a colossal sized army knife!
