2-12 Mercy Watson Gose For A Ride

Chapter 12 The car screcched. The car shuddered.

The car careened. The car caromed. And finally, the car stopped.

Mercy was very surprised. Suddenly, she was not driving the car. Suddenly, she was not even in the car. Suddenly, Mercy was airborne. Mr. Watson was wearing his seat belt. He did not fly out of the car. Baby Lincoln was wearing her seat belt. She did not fly out of the car. Officer Tomilello was safe in his police cruiser. He did not fly out of his car. Only Mercy flew.

" Oh, dear, " said Baby. " It's an emergency! " shouted Mr. Watson. " Alert the fire department! " " Was that pig wearing a seat belt?" Officer Tomilello asked. " No, " he answered himself. " That pig most certainly was not. " " Have laws been broken here?" asked Officer Tomilello. " Most certainly, most definitely, laws have been broken here. " Mr. Watson and Baby Lincoln and Officer Tomilello watched Mercy fly.

They watched he rland. OOOOOFFF!

Mr. Watson got out of the car. He ran to Mercy. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. " My darling, my dear, " he said. " Please tell me that you are all right. " " Oink?" said Mercy. She snuffled Mr. Watson's neck. " Hooray! " said Baby. " She is fine. " " Oh, thank you, " said Mr. Watson. " Thank you, thank you, thank you. " He bent his head and covered the tips of Mercy's ears with kisses.
