Chapter 50: Scrambled Eggs Make a Great Place To Hide Tracking Devices

Phineas and Ferb does not belong to me.


Candace shivers nervously as she walks up the Johnson’s driveway with her family. Perry has a mission, so he can’t come, so if it comes to fighting, her limited knowledge of martial arts will have to do. She flinches as she feels a hand slip into hers. Phineas whispers, “It’s all going to be okay, Candace. She won’t dare try anything with Jeremy watching, right?”

“I don’t know. This situation is an entirely new thing for me, Phineas.” Candace gently slips her hand out of her brother’s, and places it into her pocket, drawing out two small packages. “One for you, one for Ferb. A tracking device and a microphone in each. Our mission is to get at least one tracking device and one bug onto Suzy without being noticed by anyone.”

Phineas takes the packages and relays the message to Ferb, who nods. As the Johnsons welcome the Flynn-Fletchers into their house, Ferb tries to think of how to get the tracking device onto Suzy Johnson. Suddenly, he has an idea. Excusing himself politely, Ferb goes into the bathroom and locks the door securely. He tinkers with the tracking device until it is even smaller than before and can move around by remote control. Smiling a little, he joins the rest of his family to carry out his plan.

Placing the robotic tracking device on the table as they sit down to eat, Ferb uses his remote control to pilot it into Suzy’s breakfast.

------------------------------

Phineas manages to hide the bug in one of the black boots in Suzy’s closet and get out of her room without being discovered.

Candace offers to french braid Suzy’s hair for her, and hides one of each in the curly blonde hair. “You have such pretty hair.” She comments, as she finishes up the braid.

“Thank-you, Candace.” The twelve year-old reaches up to touch the braids gently. “This is really cool. Can you teach me how to do that?”

Candace smiles at her soon to be sister. “Sure.” In her head she adds, If you don’t take over the world and subject me to torture.

Phineas stares at his sister, thinking the same thing. “That’s a nice look for you, Suzy.”
“Thanks, Phineas!” The girl blushes a little, and giggles. Jeremy leans over and whispers something to Phineas, who laughs good naturedly. Then he pales a little.

His phone rings suddenly, and excusing himself, Phineas gets up and leaves the room. “Phineas Flynn speaking, who is this?” There’s a pain filled chatter on the other side of the phone. “Agent P?” He pulls the translator out of his pocket and places it in his ear. “Come again?”

--------------------------------

Phineas walks back into the room where everyone is still chatting. “I hate to break up the party, but Candace, Ferb, and I are needed at work.”

Suzy’s eyes narrow slightly at them, and Jeremy sits up a little straighter. Linda frowns. “What exactly is ‘work’? You guys have never gone into explicit detail.”

“We work for the government, Mom.” Candace hugs her mother and then her fiancĂ©.

Ferb looks worried. “Doof didn’t goof?”

“Doof didn’t goof.” After confirming this, Phineas basically pushes his siblings out of the door. “Bye, everyone!”

Suzy stands up, trembling a little. “I’ll be right back…”

“No you won’t, Suzy.” Jeremy grabs her hand. “We need to talk.”
