After Olivia was kidnapped in a human toy store by a bat named Fidget, the same one who took away her father and stuffed her into a bottle as soon as she reunited with her father, she lost her temper and shouted, "You stuffed me in a bag and now a bottle!"
To her surprise, Fidget had nothing to say because he looked scared at her sudden outrage. Seemed to him like her loud voice put him directly on the spot. She was tougher than he expected. Why, she must've been tough as her father.
Embarrassed, Fidget turned away without saying a word.
His boss, Ratigan was marveling over all the items the bat had stolen from the toy shop and looked at the humiliated bat. "You have everything off the list, don't you?"
Fidget nervously nodded.
"Is there something you need to tell me, Fidget?"
"Yeah, you see? The girl yelled at me," Fidget replied quietly, "I mean, she sounds stronger than me."
"Well, I guess I can do something about that," Ratigan said.
"Wait, let's not do that," Fidget said, stopping his foul boss.
The rat stared blankly at him. "And why not? Do you have a better solution to the problem?"
"Yeah, let's talk about the list," Fidget replied.
Ratigan sighed an unimpressed sigh. "Fine, but this better be good."
The bat convinced him that he had everything off the list, but then to Fidget's astonishment, he lost it. For someone who dropped the list as an act of abandonment on his part, he had a good memory when it came to all the stuff he stole from that list.
Ratigan was enraged, so he called out for Felicia with just a ring of his bell just to punish Fidget for his failure until Ratigan decided to have her "free" him and have Fidget entice Basil and his partner to enter the sewer since those detectives discovered the list Fidget had misplaced.
Author's note: Part of me thinks afterward, Fidget apologizes to Olivia when Ratigan isn't around, so Fidget rescues her and her father, as long as the bat and mice don't get caught, but they know Basil and Dawson will stop the rat from trying to get to the Flavershams and Fidget, although the detectives may not trust Fidget at first because he worked for Ratigan.
I dreamt about the very beginning of this chapter in either January or February of 2017.
As for Fidget's ordeal with that stupid cat, if you were wondering what happened to Fidget afterwards, read Fidget Takes Another Nap. Perhaps maybe Ratigan moved a sleeping Fidget away from Felicia after Fidget's predicament with Felicia. Otherwise, Fidget created a great distance away from Felicia.
