Lawndale and Sandi Griffin's Genie

"Ok," Sandi said. Elias could hear her aggravation over the airwaves.


Sandi left Cluster Burger. Back at that chain restaurant the manager sent a message to her superior...


Jeremy arrived back at the municipal bus stop outside the Lawndale Court House. He had decided to go back to the Lawndale State campus.


Helen arrived home at 5:45, parking her SUV beside Jake’s Lexus. (Tom had moved his rustbucket to the curb.
‘I see that Trent’s band is here,’ she thought.

"...So, tomorrow we are going to scour all of Lawndale?" Trent said as Helen entered.

"Wasn’t that what I just said?" Daria asked.

"I see you have been planning, yourself," Helen said.

"Yes, Mom," Daria said.

"Have you heard from Quinn?"

"We haven’t," Daria said.

"Jeffy, Joey and Stacy are looking at the Lawndale Mall," Jane said.

"If she doesn’t call by 8:00, I’m going to look myself," Helen said.

"I’m sure she can look after herself. She goes on multiple dates a night, after all," Daria said.

"I’m sure she can, but I’m still worried," Helen said.


At 5:48, after having run down Ford Street, Sandi arrived at McDonalds. She could see Angie Zammit, one of the Lawndale High cheerleaders, working there. She walked up to her.
"Hi Sandi," Angie said.

"Is, like, Elias Howarth here?"

"I haven’t seen him. Are you going to take an order?"

"Ooh! He is so dead!" Sandi raged.

"He has that emerald, doesn’t he?" Angie asked.

"Yes!" Sandi said, as she flipped open the walkie-talkie. "Sandi to Elias, you are not in McDonalds!"

"I am in Blockbuster," Elias said. There was a lot of static in that transmission.

‘There could be interference,’ Sandi thought.

"Sounds like he is near the edge of Lawndale, not right next door," Angie said, having overheard the conversation.

‘Now that I think about it, that’s obvious,’ Sandi thought. "Elias, According to Angie, you are like, much further away."

"I’m in High Hills Park," Elias said.

"Right," Sandi said, as she closed the walkie-talkie. "I’ll have some small fries, no salt," she said to Angie.

"Coming right up!" Angie said.

When she had got her fries, Sandi left McDonalds in the direction of High Hills Park...


Louisa came to Elias who had just bought some nuts from Nutty, Nutty, Nutty World. "Andrea is here at Cranberry Commons," she said.

"I wouldn’t worry, I don’t think she wants to take the emerald," Elias said.

"I’m not so sure," Louisa said.

Elias could see that she was concerned. "You could keep an eye on her," he said.

That alleviated some of Louisa’s concern. "I will do that," she said.


Lawndale Mall
Samara came out of J.J. Jeeters "Elias isn’t there either," she said.

"Right, the next store," Joey said.

"Yes," Stacy said.

The four walked to the next store. "Teuton’s Toys. For all German-produced toys," Samara said.

"Sounds cool," Joey said.

"Let’s search it!" Stacy said.

Then, all of a sudden, there was Zero Gravity in Cranberry Commons...

"Not again!" Lousia said.

"You can say that again!" Elias said. The lack of gravity was rather distracting.


Corey pulled up outside Cranberry Commons at 7:10.
"Thanks for the lift, Corey," Quinn said.

"Anytime, Quinn," Corey said.

Quinn got out of the car and dashed away. Corey then drove off.


"I’m here, at Cranberry Commons, Elias," Quinn said.

"You can search the Cashmans, if you can manage to get there," Elias said.

"Huh?"

Lawndale and Sandi Griffin's Genie - Future Excerpt 3
In the ruins beneath Lawndale, Sandi had located none of the transporters. She quickly figured it out and then beamed Belinda away from the Howarth’s house. She then beamed back there herself.


"Where is Melanie?" she asked after she had look around for her.

"She went back to Lawndale after Elias called and asked her to look for Jean there," Sam said.

"Ok," Sandi said. She heard a knock on the door. She opened it to find Anna.

"Hi, Sandi, Can I help in the search for the emerald here?" she asked.

"Sure, we like, need all the help we can get," Sandi said as she allowed Anna inside.

"We can start by searching this house first," Anna said as she closed the door.

"Sure," Sandi said.

"Everything is proceeding on schedule," Marlene said.

"Probably," Elias said.

Quinn's Code 04 - Geekery at the Mega-Mall
"Let's go, I want to get as far away from this Mall as possible," Daria said.

"Sure," Quinn said.

"What are you going to do with all that stuff?" Jennifer asked as they headed towards the exit.

"And how are you going to sneak it all inside, without your parents noticing?" Wolfgang asked.

"With luck, only Daddy will be home," Quinn said with a nervous laugh. "I'll take it all into the garage, and then take it up to my room slowly."

"You mean, through the lawndry chute?" Daria asked.

"Some of it, yes," Quinn said.

"That would take a long time," Jane said, with an eyebrow raised.

"I'll just wait until neither of them are home, then take the rest up," Quinn said as the group reached the exit.


Lawndale
Koichi drove the large group back into Lawndale on State Route 276 at 4:40.

"Where to first?" he asked.

"Astrometrics to the Bridge," Seven reported.

"Report," Captain Kathryn Janeway said from the command chair.

"Astrometrics sensors have detected what appears to be a wormhole 1.56 light years away," Seven said.

That piqued Janeway’s interest. "I’ll be right there. Mr. Paris, set course for the phenomenon," she ordered.
