Dr. Critchlore’s School for Minions Book 2: Gorilla Tactics
Dr Frankenhammer reached into his lab coat and pulled out a pair of glasses with blue lenses lenses Those wormsss are the Minion Saboteurs I sent to the Pravusss Academy last week he said Someone hasss put a glamour on them But how can you see through it I don’t know I said It just happened Dr Pravus is playing gamesss Dr Frankenhammer Frankenhammer said Returning my failed Minion Saboteurs with one of the Girl Explorers he used to embarrass embarrass usss Pravus I said Of course this monster was one of Dr Pravus’s minions He and Miss Merrybench had been behind all the catastrophes that had plagued our school recently Dr Frankenhammer had sent the Minion Saboteurs as revenge but apparently apparently they’d been found out Frankie I need the MonsssterTrapper Dr Frankenhammer Frankenhammer said Then go alert Dr Critchlore Frankie sped off in a blur ten times faster than a normal human Dr Frankenhammer squeezed his dragon’s flank and a ball of fire shot straight at the Girl Explorer I winced expecting her to be severely singed but she opened her mouth and swallowed the fireball Interesssting Dr Frankenhammer said Higginssss Higginssss get everyone to safety
I would have obeyed immediately but the monster monster lunged forward like a missile I let go of my medallion and the beast immediately looked like a little girl again I froze it was just so bizarre watching a little girl bound forward with leaps that spanned ten meters Before I could move she had me pinned to the ground Dr Frankenhammer’s dragon took to the sky nearly ripping off his master’s arm in the process The good doctor looked down at me and then slowly backed away I couldn’t move The girl leaned over me her face inches from my own Her girl face I closed my eyes waiting for the worst while trying not to imagine it But trying not to imagine the worst just made me imagine it She was going to eat my face Hey look Higgins has a girlfriend Rufus Spaniel’s Spaniel’s voice drifted over from the grassy area where everybody was enjoying an outdoor buffet after the assembly Rufus was the alpha werewolf of my grade and when he talked people listened Or more accurately when he taunted people laughed The laughter didn’t bother me I was relieved relieved that they’d noticed me I could barely breathe This tiny girl was as heavy as a full-grown troll Where had Dr Frankenhammer Frankenhammer gone He was supposed to help me
Wasn’t that a Girl Explorer motto Never leave a girl behind C’mon Higgs a raspy voice said Out of the corner of my eye I could see a pack of imps coming coming closer Spanky in front Throw her off ya scrawny wimp Can’t She’s too strong She’s a child Rufus said Hey everybody Look at Higgins pinned by a little girl Judging by the laughter that filled the air everyone everyone was watching me now The girl didn’t care A line of saliva leaked from her mouth and burned my cheek I twisted my head from side to side trying to fling it off Help me I screamed More laughter But then the laughter turned to gasps I opened my eyes and saw the monster not the girl She squinted and turned her head to the side as if someone was shining a bright light in her face A safe distance behind me Dr Frankenhammer held something that looked like a flashlight behind behind his blue glasses The beast growled and I heard the rumble of footsteps as my classmates deserted me
