"Okay, that was werid" Star said about to take the dvd out. ''wait did anyone else see that" Becky asked "See what?'' Jay asked Becky played the scene agian where she saw the shadow and paused it. "Look" She said pointting to the shadow. "What is that?'' Jay asked getting a closer look. "there is someone there" Star answered zooming in on it. The shadow made out a human figure.

Becky still couldn't believe what she'd just seen...a human figure behind the bad actor. She scratched her chin. "That must be the real Gilbert Grape," She said shakily. "Maybe the person has just turned him into a helpless shaddow," She felt her eyes well up with tears.
"There's a shadow on the Cry-Baby dvd," Roxie said coming into the room.
"It must be like that on every dvd," Jay said wisely.
Star looked at her watch... "Just less than 12 hours to go,"
Becky dried her eyes, she was determined to do whatever the person wanted her to do, she was worthy of anything

As the time of the expected phone call drew nearer, everyone fell silent. Becky kept checking and re-checking the phone until Star took it out of her hands and placed it just out of reach. All there was left to do was wait. Ten minutes to go. Five minutes to go. Two minutes to go. One minute.... Becky answered the phone on the first ring. "Hello?" "I see you have managed to follow my instructions to the letter so far. Very wise of you." Becky had to take deep breath to stop her calm from fracturing. Everyone around her was giving her looks of encouragement, she drew strength from that. "What do we have to do now?" she asked. "Straight into business, I like that. I warn you now though, I am not going to make this easy for you. This is not a game. You must work hard to prove your worth. Are you ready for the first task?" "Yes." Becky did not hesitate. "You must log onto the JA headquarters computer. A screen will appear. In the top left hand corner will be a button that says Take this quiz!. At least five of you must take the quiz individually. I will know if you have conferred. If you cheat, the Johnny's will be gone forever. If five people have not completed the quiz before I phone next, the Johnny's will be gone forever. Do you understand?" Becky paused to think. "Do we have to get every question right?" she asked. The mysterious voice laughed. The sound made Becky shiver. "I will tell you whether you have passed this task once it is complete." "How long do we have?" Becky asked quickly sensing that the man was about to disappear once more. "As long as I give you." There was a click and he was gone. Sure enough, when they logged onto the JA computer up popped a screen and there was the quiz, just as the man had said. JA computerFirst task"Who's going to do it first?" asked Jay.

"Well done, Star!," said Jay giving the brave sidekick a hug, "Everyone else should wait in another room. We don't want to take any chances and fail this task. Good luck, Star."
Everyone else left Star to complete the quiz. Becky looked the most nervous, after all, she was next.

Once Star had finished the quiz, Becky sat herself down in front of the computer and began to answer the questions. "These arn't too bad," She whispered quietly. She looked at her score once she had finished... 70... "That's not too bad," She said with a little smile.
She went into the next room where the other Angels and Kicks were waiting. "Who wants to go next?"

"I will!" Roxie said sitting down. When she finished and everyone came in she said "I'm sorry you guys... I did horrible! I got a 40. I'm so sorry you guys!"

"It's ok Roxie," Said Becky giving her a hug. "You did your best,".
She turned to the others "Who wants to go next?"

"I know Becky... But I knew so many of those answers... What if he doesn't let the Johnnys go because I failed it." Roxie said.

"Ok," said Jay emerging from the computer room, "That's five of us."
"I guess we just have to wait for the phone to..." but Becky was interuppted. The phone in her hand had started to ring.
"You have completed the task, I see," said the now familiar voice in Becky's ear, "Very efficient of you."
"Did we pass?" asked Becky. There was a collective intake of breath from all around her but the voice would not be rushed.
"Your average mark was 62%. Not amazing considering you call yourself Johnny's Angels."
"Even Angels aren't perfect," said Becky feeling the need to defend her friends, particularly Roxie who was looking very woeful.
"You are thinking of the sidekick, Crybabyrox. Do you think she let you down?"
"No!" cried Becky honestly, "We all tried our best. You can't take our Johnny's away just because..."
"That is where you are mistaken, Miss Abberline, I have already taken your Johnny's away."
There was an uncomfortable silence.
"However," continued the voice, "I happen to agree with you. I have investigated Crybabyrox thoroughly, as I have for all of you. You all have heart, whether or not you will prove to be worthy."
"Doesn't heart count more than anything?" Becky said thinking it was worth a try. The voice decided to ignore her.
"You have passed task one, not with flying colours admittedly, but you have passed it. The next task is for Crybabyrox, and only Crybabyrox. When the phone rings, she is to take it and answer it alone. I will know if my instructions have not been followed correctly."
And with that the phone went dead.

"At least we passed it," Said Star quietly.
Becky looked at Roxie "Don't worry, you'll be fine... and don't blame yourself... we all tried our best and the best is all we can do,".
The next few hours were unbearable... the angels and the kicks paced up and down the room, no-one said anything because they didn't know what to say. Jay opened her mouth to say something when the phone immeadiately started ringing. Roxie picked it up and took it into the next room...

Poor Don Juan..she had been missing him and decided to watch her DVD..same dead eyed creep..no handsome, loving DJ.. *sigh* But she too, had seen a shadow of someone in the background...

Roxie took a deep breath and answered the phone "Hello"
"Hello crybabyrox, soon to be the angel of Wade Walker," A deep voice said
"How do you know that?" Roxie asked trembling
The voice laughed. "Oh i know a lot of things. Are you alone?"
"Yes,".
"Good. Ok you would do anything to get Johnny back wouldn't you?"
"Yes,". Roxie tried to breath steadily to show she wasn't nervous.
"Good. I will ring again in 12 hours and this time you do not have to be alone..." and with that the phone went dead.

"What is he doing pick us off one by one" Star said getting annoyed. "Don't like this sitting around waiting for this psycho to call and tell us what other stupid task to do" Star threw hands in the air. "I know it's starting to get to me too, but we have to remain Strong" Becky said being the voice of reason. "Fine, Roxie you do what you gotta do and if hurt my Ed I am going to... Star says something violent sound in Tamarah.
