"Pongo Dahling, Come."
Archie was walking with Pongo when all of a sudden Pongo started whimpering and took off running into the woods too fast for Archie to follow so he called David to come help him.
Henry was walking over to Regina's office to say hello to his mother and ask her if they could spend the weekend together, just the two of them like old times when he saw Archie.
"Hey Archie, where's Pongo?" Henry asked.
"Oh hello Henry, he ran off again. Into the woods, your grandfather is coming to help find him. David will be able to find him but I'm worried about him, this is the fifth time he's run off this week. It's like... it's like he's trying to tell us something." Archie explained and Henry nodded.
"Well I was on my way to see my mom at her office but I could help you look for him while we're waiting for Gramps." Henry offered and Archie smiled.
"Okay, thanks Henry." Archie replied.
"No problem." Henry beamed.
Just as they were about to head into the woods David showed up to help,"So Archie, which way did Pongo go?"
"That way, into the woods." Archie replied as the three of them walked calling out for Pongo as they went.
"There he is!" Henry shouted excitedly as he pointed to Pongo who was running farther away.
Pongo stopped for a second, looked back at them and then took off again as if the dog were leading them somewhere.
Henry, David and Archie followed Pongo through the woods.
"I know where he's leading us, he's leading us to the cemetery but why?" David questioned and Archie shrugged while Henry looked quizzical.
"Let's find out." Henry said before he took off after Pongo.
Henry ran, following Pongo all the way to the cemetery and slowed to walking as the dog led him through the tombstones until Pongo stopped and sat in front of one and whimpered.
Henry took one look at the name on the grave stone and shuddered but there was something else, the grave site where the coffin would normally be was empty.
"Archie, Gramps you better take a look at this!" Henry shouted to them.
The two men spotted Henry and Pongo but more importantly they spotted just whose grave Pongo had led them to and it was empty.
"Cruella De Vil? Why would somebody dig up her grave?" David asked aloud and Henry suddenly had an idea.
"What if whoever did this, what if they wanted to resurrect her from the dead?" Henry asked.
"Who would be crazy enough to wanna do that?" Archie asked.
"I don't know but if that is what's going on here, we'll find out soon enough. Ask around, I want to know who visited loved ones in the last week or so and see if anyone noticed Cruella's grave site. Maybe we can find out when this happened because if happened more than fourty-eight hours ago we may have a much bigger furrier problem on our hands." David explained.
Two days later
David was sitting at the sheriff's station working on the computer when Henry ran in.
"Hey Henry, what's up?" David asked his grandson.
"The question is who's up and it's Cruella. I talked to some people around town and a lot of them seemed surprized we only found out about Cruella's grave when we did. They say her grave has been empty for the past two weeks before we found it like that so she's definetly out there and she's using Pongo to try and tell us something but what?" Henry updated his grandfather on what he'd heard so far.
"I don't know Henry, I don't know but we'll find out." David replied.
"Okay, well I just wanted to stop by to let you know before I went to see my mom. Hey, you don't think my mom Emma I mean could be the one who resurrected Cruella, do you?" Henry asked in concern.
"No, I don't think so I mean why would she? She's the one who killed her trying to protect you so I don't think she would do that. Besides, Emma won't be the dark one forever Henry. We're going to save her somehow I promise." David explained and Henry nodded.
"I know we will. Okay I gotta go see my mom, bye Gramps." Henry said and took off before David could say anything.
