1.
Johnny trailed Nancy, trying to quickly dodge the students faster than she was so he could catch up to her
2.
Johnny almost laughed out loud
3.
At least that’s what Johnny thought they meant
4.
Johnny looked Bob in the eye
5.
“I’m scared,” Bob said sarcastically, and he took another swing at Johnny
6.
With a yell, Bob charged at Johnny
7.
Johnny had no idea how someone could show so many outward signs of emotion without seeming to feel them
8.
Johnny forgot what the original question was
9.
“They started it,” Johnny tried to explain
10.
“We never even had it in the first place,” Johnny said
11.
“It does the same thing a regular Chip does and more,” Johnny replied vaguely
12.
Johnny threw up his hands in resignation
13.
Johnny shrugged, “Yeah, sure
14.
Before Johnny could respond she had disappeared back into her office
15.
“Don’t think you’re getting away from answering the question that easily,” Johnny smirked
16.
But I’m trusting you, you can trust me a little too,” Johnny said
17.
So it was going to be that easy, Johnny thought to himself as he turned to head into the principal’s office
18.
“Two weeks of detention!” Johnny cried for what must have been the millionth time
19.
“Hardly!” Johnny paced away from her in the small cramped confines of the steel elevator they were in
20.
Johnny squinted his eyes and gave her a look
21.
Johnny had taken her to a garbage dump
22.
Johnny had entered a code and they had stepped inside the container
23.
Ackers turned his attention to Johnny
24.
“Very clear,” Johnny said, biting back remarks that would only lead to having to listen to Ackers talk more
25.
“I didn’t need any help,” she said, looking anywhere but at Johnny or Ackers
26.
Johnny could see that Nancy was about to ask a question
27.
“Yeah,” was all that Johnny could add
28.
“Just show us to the debrief area,” Johnny said with a tired voice
29.
And with that Ackers marched on ahead, leaving Nancy and Johnny to watch him walk alone up the hall to his office
30.
“At least he wasn’t mad,” said Johnny
31.
And the reason I brought her along with me,” Johnny pointed at Nancy, who was currently enthralled with wondering what manner of creature or machine was hiding under the desk
32.
He turned and gave Johnny a condescending stare
33.
Bread Crumbs is a great name,” Johnny said to Ackers
34.
“That was Ackers’ girlfriend, Ayai,” Johnny responded
35.
Johnny and Ackers turned to each other in stunned silence
36.
“Don’t you hate it when he does that?” Johnny asked
37.
I think she should be on the team for now,” Johnny said
38.
Johnny and Ackers were standing beside her, but Nancy couldn’t help thinking that they were all in danger just for being this close to the group, which was currently sparring with a robotic army and, as far as Nancy could tell, each other
39.
Johnny looked uneasily at Silence, who only smirked back at him in a self-confident stare, and then made his way slowly over to Nancy
40.
Johnny couldn’t tell if she was mad or not
41.
As Johnny looked through the special eye piece, he was able to see all the electrical wiring through the walls and door of the bank
42.
“Of course it shouldn’t be a problem,” Ackers voice came loud and clear over the ear pieces both Johnny and Nancy were wearing
43.
“This is supposed to be a front for the United Order, so the technology will be quite a bit more advanced,” Johnny said
44.
“What do those do?” Johnny asked, indicating the objects she was holding
45.
Johnny rose from his spot behind the car and indicated that Nancy should follow
46.
But the stealth part will be officially over when Big Petey starts breaking things,” Johnny answered
47.
“Listening,” Vinnie answered before Johnny could
48.
Johnny held up his hand for everyone to stop
49.
“There are two sets of stairs and an elevator leading down,” Vinnie said beside Johnny as he consulted a schematic of the building
50.
“Yes, thank you for reminding us,” Johnny said as he held his ear in pain
51.
We don’t know what to expect down there,” Johnny said as he held out his hand protectively while peering into the darkness of the descending stairs
52.
Johnny shook his head and followed after her
53.
From the opposite end of the basement, Johnny and Nancy also entered the room
54.
“I’m not so sure about that,” Johnny remarked as he looked down at the unconscious guard
55.
The Operator turned around to find that Johnny had taken the Super Chip right out of his hand
56.
He saw Johnny with the Chip, and Red ready with one of her grenades, the remaining three nestled tightly in her other arm
57.
“I think it’s going to take all four of them,” he said to himself as he pointed the device at Red while walking quickly toward Johnny and the Chip
58.
Vinnie was almost at Johnny now, who had his attention on Red and her dangerous grenade
59.
Johnny, who was still protecting The Operator, realized he was floating off the ground and heading toward the ceiling at an accelerating rate
60.
Johnny pushed The Operator off of him
61.
“Shut up,” Johnny said hoarsely as he just started to get air back into his lungs
62.
“You dropped this,” she said as she held up the Chip for Johnny to see
63.
Johnny was about to agree when he noticed the three guards that stood between them and the nearest exit
64.
Johnny pulled out his yo-yo device, Nancy pulled out a rubber ball
65.
“We’re going to have to jump when we get to the door, the handle is too far above us,” Johnny commented as they neared the door
66.
“Good,” Johnny said as he rotated his arm, trying to work the pain out of his limbs
67.
Johnny and Nancy kept running, trying to put more distance between themselves and the United Order, doing everything they could to keep the Chip safe
68.
“You must have dropped it while the gravity was shifting back to normal,” Johnny commented, putting the Chip back in his pocket
69.
Nancy eyed the Chip then eyed Johnny
70.
Johnny brought up his hand to the earpiece, it must have broken during the fight because he couldn’t hear Ackers whining and yelling at him
71.
They started walking down the street, Johnny looked at his watch
72.
“Severe or not, I have to be on time,” Johnny said
73.
“I guess you wouldn’t know anything about that kind of stuff since you were adopted,” Johnny said, a little more angrily than he meant to
74.
Johnny still felt bad
75.
Johnny rushed into his room, shoving the door closed behind him
76.
Johnny started to dig a hole through his clothes, placing the Super Chip in the center of the hole
77.
Johnny pulled a shirt on over his head and sighed when he could see Ackers’ angry face again
78.
Johnny quickly darted over to his holographic keyboard and turned down the volume
79.
“Are you listening to me?” Ackers said, breaking Johnny out of his focus
80.
“No,” Johnny said as he zipped up his backpack
81.
The Chip is safe and I will get it to you at the end of the day,” Johnny explained
82.
“You can’t have it now, I already told you,” Johnny explained for the millionth time
83.
“Fine, whatever,” Johnny said as he shut down the connection
84.
He knew that Ackers never left the base, and the chances of him actually coming to Johnny’s house were the same as the chances of the United Order knowing that Johnny Clunker was Johnny B
85.
Johnny bounced down the stairs of his house two at a time, landing on the main floor with a loud thump that took him into a slide toward the kitchen
86.
Johnny froze in the act of pouring the milk onto his cereal
87.
For a moment Johnny thought that his dad had found out that Johnny was out all night
88.
Looking back down, Johnny saw that he was about to overfill his cereal with the milk
89.
Henry was referring to the really old computer Johnny had in his room
90.
Henry cleared his throat, getting serious for a moment and giving Johnny his full attention
91.
“I know dad,” Johnny said as Henry searched for his next words
92.
Johnny often wondered how his dad would feel if he ever found out that Johnny was a super spy and that he was concealing so many things from him
93.
Johnny imagined that his dad would be crushed, and it was a moment that Johnny wanted to do his best to spare him from ever having to go through
94.
“Thanks dad,” Johnny said, mostly because he didn’t really know what else to say
95.
He wanted to say that his dad didn’t have anything to worry about, that Johnny was not only doing fine, but thriving in his newfound profession
96.
Johnny pushed back his chair and headed for the sink with his bowl
97.
Johnny smiled to himself
98.
His dad always said that, but if Johnny never helped with the dishes, quite frankly, they would never get done
99.
Johnny picked up his backpack and headed for the door
100.
Johnny headed out the door
