Adventures in Babysitting Page #4

- To get you,

and now we need $100

to get it back by midnight.

I don't suppose you losers

have any money.

I spent it all on tickets.

That's it. Why don't we just

scalp Trey's concert ticket

to get the cash for the car?

You mean, sell it ourselves?

Exactly. Brilliant.

Wait. It's mine.

Oh, cool. So you wouldn't mind

explaining to your mother

that her car got towed

and her precious children

spent the night sitting

on a cold park bench in the city.

I have a better idea.

Why don't we just

call her now, shall we?

Oh, Helen.

This is so not fair.

Life isn't fair, kid.

Jenny, I really have to

go to the bathroom.

Okay.

Everyone, stay put.

Hey, Bobby, check this out.

Oh, that's so cool.

Bummer about the concert.

Dude, forget the concert. Go for Jenny.

She was totally checking you out, too.

- She was?

- Yeah.

I'm going to the tattoo place.

Cool. Have fun. Go express yourself.

- Thanks for the zip.

- Not even a problem.

Lucky you had a safety pin.

I know, right?

So did you hear who Zac

Chase is taking to the concert tonight?

- No. Who?

- Guess.

- Who?

- Guess.

- Who?

- Dominique Cassidy.

No!

Jenny Parker. Is that really you?

Hey, girls.

Whoa! I never would've thought to see

you in the city on a Friday night.

Really? Why not?

It's the weekend, right?

I live for fun.

Right. So who are you here with?

Just some friends.

They're city friends.

They're really mature friends.

You probably wouldn't know them.

Help. I'm all twisted.

Oh, poor little girl.

Where's your mommy?

I'll go help you find her.

- I have to wash my hands.

- You can use sanitizer.

Where'd everybody go?

Bobby?

AJ?

- Smile.

- Lola.

- Where are the kids?

- Uh, specifically, I don't know. Around.

- Around? Are you out of your mind?

- Possibly.

Babysitting rule number one.

Never take your eyes off the kids.

Trey, AJ, Bobby.

Uh, where's Emily?

Uh, she's getting a tattoo.

Getting a what?

A tattoo.

In and out like stealth ninjas.

Emily, are you okay?

Please, please tell me

you did not just get a tattoo.

What? It's henna.

The guy did it for free

'cause he liked my aura.

- Cool, right?

- Super cool.

So not super cool. How could you

do that without asking me?

- I asked Lola.

- She did.

Lola... Lola is nobody, okay?

You can't just wander off like that.

Something could've happened to you.

You are my responsibility, okay?

And that better come off

with soap and water.

- Uh, Jenny?

- What, Bobby?

- Please don't let them get me.

- Go, go, go, go!

Everybody get out.

Go, go, go, go!

Go! Come on!

Why are the pawn shop guys

after us?

Bobby stole a candy bar!

- So give it back.

- I can't, I licked it!

- Good, kids. Let's go!

- Bobby!

Come on!

There.

Go this way.

They went this way.

You don't know what way they went.

We know you're in here.

Just wanna have

a reasonable conversation.

Yeah, we're very

reasonable people.

We locked the doors.

There's no way out.

- Get down. Lola.

- No way out!

We're not leaving

till we get that camera.

My camera?

These guys are crazy.

We need to find another way out.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

That's them. Come on!

Go away! Leave us alone!

Get down! Stop the belt.

Pick on someone your own size!

You're makin' me jump!

You're not gettin' my camera!

You should just give up.

Give me the camera!

Nice going!

Hey, kids.

There.

Careful.

- Where are we going?

- Lift your legs, lift your legs.

Let's go.

This is so cool. Whoo!

Come on, guys, let's hurry.

Okay, let's go. Come on.

Come on.

Let's go.

Hey, look out!

Go! Go, go, go.

Go, go. Right.

We can't get around this, guys.

There's no way out.

Yeah, there is.

There's an awesome way out.

Oh, yeah!

- No, no, no.

- Yeah.

What an incredible party.

I can't believe this is all for me.

Well, you deserve it all.

There's Barry and Donna.

Let's say hello.

I should give the kids a call though.

- Oh, honey, they're fine.

- I don't know.

AJ was so upset about

missing the Roller Derby match.

She must be miserable and bored.

- Are you ready?

- You bet.

How did you learn how to do that?

How do you think I got off the roof?

This outfit is so going

to need dry cleaning.

Your parents are never going to

ask me to babysit again.

If they do, I'd ask

for ten bucks more an hour.

- Ready?

- Okay.

Jenny!

Right there!

- Who turned out the lights?

- Here I come.

- Is everyone okay?

- Yes.

Let's go sell that ticket!

You're on my leg. My leg, my leg.

I'm having trouble breathing.

Where are we going again?

This isn't good!

This isn't gonna be good!

What just happened?

I hate kids.

We could still get 'em at that concert.

Yeah.

Okay, I'm gonna do it.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

Yeah, people sell concert tickets

every day. It's no big deal.

Here, kid.

Guard this with your life, okay?

You can trust me. I'm a Derby girl.

- Okay.

- Hurry UP-

We'll just be over here by the taco cart.

Oh, tacos.

Maybe my cupcakes

could use some heat.

Jenny, sit on this.

Thanks, Trey. So thoughtful.

Hundred bucks?

Hey, tickets. Just 100 bucks.

How about you, beautiful?

A ticket, 100 bucks? Yeah? No?

What are you doing, AJ?

Please be careful.

It's the Swift Trip Chop.

A right chop with a back spin.

It's Jailer Swift's signature move.

Like that would ever work.

Ticket, ticket. Hundred bucks. Ticket.

- Concert ticket, hundred bucks.

- There she is.

Hey, hey. Hundred bucks, concert ticket.

No, how about you?

Hundred bucks? You got one already.

Reselling a ticket at the site of a venue

is illegal.

Did I say sell? I meant donate.

I was gonna donate this ticket

to a very deserving person, officer.

Oh, no, no, not the police.

- Sounds like you're trying to bribe me.

- No, no, no.

Oh, no!

Stupid kid. Nabbed by the cops.

I see that.

- Come on.

- Oh, but, sir, I didn't do it, I swear.

She'd want a picture of this.

Excuse me, ma'am.

We're looking for our friend Lola.

She's 19, dark hair, snappy attitude.

Yeah, she's getting booked.

Booked?

- Is that, like, arrested?

- Like yep.

Have a seat, and we'll call you

when we're done processing her.

Fat man called Tiny

and a tall, skinny guy

- with a hat.

- Hood.

And a weird little furry animal thing.

Maybe a ferret. I don't know.

You are aware that lying

to an officer of the law

is also a crime.

You are aware I'm not lying, officer.

It's gonna be along night, kid.

I'm never gonna find the perfect

ingredient in time for the contest.

Quit your whining.

I'm missing the biggest rivalry

in Roller Derby history.

Both of you quit your whining.

I'm missing the biggest

concert of the year.

Hey, everyone quit whining.

Just sit and be quiet so I can think.

You're smart, you are calm,

you always have the answers.

Hey, Jenny. Can't we just call

one of your friends for help?

Uh, my friends are busy studying.

What about your parents?

I told you, they're out of town.

Emily, what did you do?
