Avery stood against the wall of the toon Club with a beer in her hand watching toons of all kinds and some humans dance around being their crazy looney shelves while listening to the beat of the music pound in her ears.
" Where did Hickory go?" the Human woman mumbled to herself as she looked around for him.
Avery hadn't been out to have fun in a long time so she was kind of rusty at it but Hickory promised he would stay by her side until she was comfortable.
The toons were full of spirit dancing like crazy the music was mostly Rock and roll but they didn't care, the males we're swinging their arms up sometimes shaking their butts to the beat other's were puffin smoke out of their mouths shaking their bodies to the music.
The females were having a great time there breasts bounced up and down there hair would rose up than crash into their faces others were shaking their shoulders getting groovy other ones were spinning around as their skirts rose up and down as they get wild. The club was a riot, Bellamy the singer was a classic rock and roller singing her famous album hot dogs and sushi best song in all of New York.
Avery soon spotted the ruggid toon cat hitting on a pretty female toon skunk in a short dress, the human rolled her eyes at this " typical " she scoffed.
She chugged down her beer and walked the other direction" Don't worry I won't leave you he say" Avery quoted Hickory annoyed.
Little did the human woman know she caught the eye of someone very dangerous.
"Got you in the Breeches zone~ attack attack in the frontal zone~ Sit atop The Empire state, Got you in a Mental state! Bloody fool Don't you know~"
Avery soon spotted the only sister of toon Schlepper quads Cindy pumped up and dancing with passion with the beat at the song, Avery smiled a little at this.
"That everything is no no no nooo! ~
A mouse toon beside her was grooving with her pumping his fists in the air.
" Oh what the hell" Avery said taking another chug of her beer and putting the bottle down before going on to the dance floor started to dance to the beat.
"Hey honey! Check this out! They're playing my song" Cindy exclaimed dancing spinning around in her roller blades.
"Oh Avery meet my Boyfriend Raul" Cindy smiled picking up the mouse toon holding him close to her chest he was blushing hard.
Avery stopped dancing for minute to look at the moose" Nice too meet you " Avery said with a smile" When did you get a boyfriend ?" She asked.
"Just now don't tell Toad or he's gonna flip his lid" Cindy waved at Avery also I wanted to spend time here before it's 3:00 I'm just crazy about this night"
"And I'm gonna stop by Raul's place after this" she winked twirling her pigtail.
Avery chuckled a little at this" Oh yes he probably flatten Raul with a rolling pin, you should have seen him yesterday with Sleazy having to bail him out again."
Avery waved to them" have fun and wear protection."
Avery then accidentally bumped into a bulky figure, she looked up that he had scars and scratches and metal piece under his left eye"Toad."
Toad stares down clearly mad "Where's Cindy? Avery" he Growled.
Avery went into cop mode now and frowned at him" She's fine Toad" she crossed her arms" She just hanging out with a friend of hers" she explained to him.
"Friend!?" He half yelled "She's supposed to go to bed at 1:00 and now she's with someone she doesn't know! She's so grounded, where is she Avery?" He crossed his arms furrowing his brows"you know I'm protecting her like Sleazy" he reasoned.
Avery rubbed her brows at this" Ok Sleazy is another story you ground him more then Cindy obviously" Avery moved her hand from her eyes" and second I never said her friend was so random stranger it is actually a friend of hers and she wasn't drunk" Avery eyes soften a bit" Toad your her brother she's definitely going to know how to beat the crap out of someone if they mess with her" she reasoned with him.
"Rgh!" He formed his hands into fists his knuckles popping "I'll deal with her later and right now Zip needs a bedtime story when I get back I better hope to find Sleazy at home, Cindy and I are not done Avery" he pointed out turning around on his roller skating exiting the club with a pissed off look.
" Yeah I hope sleazy home to tired of arresting him today " Avery said as she went over to the tables to rest.
"You seemed to be down in the dumps honey"A deep voice spoke beside her, she looked up to see who was talking to her.
A Lion toon wearing a white dress shirt and blue bellbottoms hugging his muscled legs he had a ciggeratte in his hand and the other holding a Beer
"Beer darling" he spoke.
Avery was little taken back but non less took the bottle" Thanks Mr...?"
The human woman wasn't going to deny he was quiet handsome for a toon.
"Mox" he answered he brought his paw close to his chest scratching "I'm Mox darling" he smiled saying his name as it means something to him.
" Hmmm interesting" Avery said as took she a drink, the lion Mox then took a seat in front of her on the other side of the table, the human could see he was huge even when he sat down.
" So what do you do for a living Mr. Mox?" Avery said as she eyed him.
"For starters I'm a singer have you listened to my last album? It's the best piece I ever recorded" he spoke pouring 2 glasses for him and her.
Avery raised a brow at this " A singer? That's sounds exciting life I'm sorry I don't listen that much anymore work takes up much of my life" Avery said taking another drink.
" But you probably have met my partner Hickory he was once in show biz too along time ago " Avery said as she took a drink.
The human woman eyes trailed to the toon cat still talking up the the toon skunk his hand on her thigh and the female letting out cute toon giggle"ok looks like I lost my ride to night" Avery said to herself as she took another drink.
"Forget about him let's talk about you my dear" Mox said "What's your job?" He grasped his glass taking a sip.
"I'm a cop for TVPD" Avery said as she leaned back in her chair lazily.
"A cop..must be a difficult time being one in the station" he eyed her carefully.
Avery laughed" Oh yea you wouldn't believe what arrested toons for really looney stuff" Avery said taking drink.
" Once my partner and I had chase this toon ferrat who was stealings things with balloons tied to his back making him float in the air " she laughed a little" We had to chase him all round town jumping trying to catch him" Avery giggled as she took a drink.
"I'm sure you must be stressed out, after all dealing with the extremely looney toons can make you go crazy" he slipped a finger in his drink.
"Avery shrugged" yea it's stressful but knew what I was signing up for when I chose Toon-Ville...but yeah don't have much time to do anything lately" Avery said as she held her head in dizziness.
"I'm sure you need more than just a drink to sooth your stress miss Avery he pushed close.
Avery looked up at him in a daze, it felt like the club was spinning and her body felt heavy which confused her since she had 3 beers but it wasn't enough to make her drunk" I...I don't feel well" She said softly.
"Don't worry let me take care of you" his voice spoke intimate and low as he crash his lips towards hers.
Avery let out a weak moan, to weak to fight him off or move in general" What...what did you do?" She managed to spit out as he kissed down her neck, she could feel his fur caress her skin and his whiskers.
"Nothing much just that you needed company" he spoke low grinding himself close to her leg.
She took a glance at the bar hopping some way she could signal her partner for help but much to her dismay he was gone. She then felt herself being lift up like she weight nothing by Mox and looked like she was being taken to a back of the club.
Avery woke up with killer headache" Shit" she crused and hissed, she tried to open her eyes slowly still not use to the light" Oh what time is I need to get Lily ready for school" She groaned trying to pull the blanket off her only to realize she was naked...and not in her bed much to her horror.
She looked around in the room in a panic to see it was was a large extravagant room with big windows like I'm a penthouse" I need to get out here" she said curtly as she tried to get out of bed but soon hissed in pain in her lower back.
She forgot about it for a minute and scrambled to get her clothes and her phone wanting to get out there soon as possible, she was putting on her shoes as she dialed Hickory number" Com'on Com' on pick up" She said to herself.
"Leaving so soon" the voice behind her spoke sounding almost hurt.
" Shit!" She said surprised making herself drop her phone as she face the Lion who was wearing a loose reaveling bottom down shirt and pants.
Avery made a calm face " Yeah I need to get to work..." She told him trying to get out their soon as possible.
" Well I had a lovely night but I need to go now" She said putting on her jacket and headed toward the door only to be stopped by a large hand.
"Don't forget to call me darling" he smiled flipping a card between his fingers handing it to her.
Avery looked at the card and then at him before reluctantly taking the card" Yeah...see you around" Avery said to before hurrying out of there.
Mox watched her leave with a smirk, a peguin Butler walked in after she did" Sir are you sure you just want her to leave?" he said with fancy accent.
"Have a little faith Charlie" he chuckled.
"I'll let someone else handle it first I must gather my strength" he chuckled.
The peguin jumped on the bed toon style as he removed the sheets" Of course sir" he nodded towards the lion" I do admit she is quite a pretty human...will you check to see if she's..." Charlie grinned turned devious toon" Carrying" He suggested to his boss.
" And also your " medience" is in the other room sir" The butler said as he woddled out with the dirty blankets.
"Thank you Charlie" Mox chuckled heading to his other room.
Mox typed in number in keypad to open the other room he walked in a cold metal room that had a metal table with what appeared to have a goofy but cute bunny toon strapped to the to it with tubes coming out his head, arms, and chest. He was shaking badly with fear as he looking around in panic.
Mox's fur was almost bristled into grey amd the skin almost became wrinkled.
Mox smirked evily at the bunny as he went over to sit in another chair" What..What are you going to do with me?" the bunny voice trembled in cute squeaky voice.
The lion started roll up his sleeve and put a tube in his arm as his hair slowly turned white "Life dear boy" he smirked.
After that a machine started and the rabbit jolted and spazzed in a jerking motion as he let out a horrid toon sound of pain. His muscle mass started to disappear slowly and his color began to fade. Mox appeared to get his color back and his wrinkles faded away as the bunny screamed more and more while he wasted away painfully.
The bunny cries soon became silent and all that was left was puddle of ink and trace indent of his outline. Mox let a sigh of content from feeling new and refreshed.
"Charlie bring the mop" Mox spoke fastening his shirt.
" Right away sir" Charlie woddled in with mop and a pale" Some the men been talking of that human woman you taken fancy to sir" he said as he mopped.
"That's private when your done mopping I want you silence their idiotic gossip" he walks out the front door "Though I admit she is beautiful and it's why I need her and the other human's to help me live forever."
" That reminds me sir" Charlie looked up at his boss" more humans have been brought in your" business associates" are wondering when they will be getting their new brides and grooms" The peguin said as he mopped and woddled.
"In due time when they're ready Charlie, have a little faith" he smiled walking towards his closet to find business suits.
" What will you do today sir?" Charlie asked as he finishing mopping.
"Easy I got requests from my clients that want authentic painting's"
" Have a wonderful day sir " The peguin nodded.
Avery come into the station with sunglasses and coffee basically doing the walk of same as she dialed her phone" Mom did Lily get to school ok" Avery asked her foster mother, walking past a pelican toon cop as she did and right on the dot Hickory walk in with Sleazy and his hands cuffed behind his back Avery rolled her eyes and groaned at this.
"For fucks sake Sleazy early in the morning!" Avery shouted at him.
Hickory ginned big at Avery noticing she was wearing the same clothes from yesterday"Had fun last night Avery" He asked.
"Listen Avery I-I swear I've done nothing wrong this time please!" Sleazy spoke.
Avery rubbed her brows" You say that all the time Sleazy! God I'm not in the mood for this" she growled under her breath" What did you do this time, Theft? Fraud? Defacing public property with mustaces" Avery looked at him as she took off her sunglasses.
She turned her haze towards Hickory" What did he do ?" Crap you brother is already pissed at your sister..." Avery dialed her phone again.
"I caught him selling forged tickets" Hickory explained"and painting a moustache version of the Queen of England."
"They were good money sellers" Sleazy reasoned.
"Please Avery I screwed up and yeah I kinda broke the law but I swear this isn't my fault! I needed money" Sleazy said getting extremely worried.
" And I need pain killers for these migranes I keep having and trust me I have a lot but you don't see me popping them day in and day out" Avery scolded him.
" And what do you even need the money for? " Avery frowned at him hard.
"It's for my siblings were not swimming in dough if that's what you think" Sleazy confessed.
" And you think I am Sleazy ,A single mother with a low paying job" She lectured him.
" I'm Calling your brother to bail you out" Avery groaned as she dialed.
"No no no! tell him it's fine he doesn't have to come bail me out."
Avery looked at him wide eyed" you really want to spend the night in jail?" She said bewildered.
" You know he's going to figure it out when you don't come home Sleazy" Avery said with her arms crossed but then sighed in defeat" Just put him in the cell Hickory I need coffee..." She said as she made her way to the coffee maker.
" Rose! Dock!" Avery heard their portly toon dog chief call out to them.
She winced" loud noises...loud noises" she grumbled.
After Hickory locked up Sleazy he and Avery went into the chief's office he looked beyond fustrated with the cigar in his mouth and office messy with papers, he kept pulling up his pants or holding on his suspenders.
He looked like a chubby dog version of Mickey mouse" More reports of humans disappearing in toon town and to top it all off Toons are going missing too" he grumbled.
Avery and Hickory didn't blame the chief for being frustrated...they where too with these missing persons case for the last few months and they had no leads no evidence to who might be nothing and this time tensions were high.
Chief Bone showed them two new pictures of a cute bunny and a young innocent pretty human girl with glasses, brown hair wearing dress" These are the two new missing the bunny is Hippy Nibbler reported missing by his mom" Chief Bone said taking another drag.
Avery then looked at the picture of the human girl she looked young...very young"And the other Deborah Kim"He took a drag.
"Her friends and family became worried when she didn't return home."
" Shit how old is this girl" Hickory frowned.
"22 and a journalist..."
" Fuck she makes 15th human to go missing" Hickory crused bring out a cigarette and lit it.
Avery rubbed her eyes" Do we know exact last sighting of her or if her parents knew where she was going chief ?"
"She was seen at club 666 with a passenger some people thought she was drunk" the chief pulled out a photograph of the neon club with it's sigil.
Avery flinched the mention of club and drunk to the fuzzy memories she had of the night before...and the toon she susposly agreed to sleep with And another of Deborah slumped in a carseat the driver wore white gloves.
" If this isn't proof of kidnapping I don't know what is" Avery said as she frowned at the picture hickory took a look as well" Do you want us to go to the club chief ?" He asked.
"I sent an officer to check in today at night he'll tell you if it's safe or not."
Avery nodded " Let's go Hickory you drive I got a huge hangover" she said as the toon cat followed after her.
She groaned as she walked over to the cell and saw Toad arguing with his brother Sleazy" Ok Toad bail him out and argue with him at home not here" she told him.
"You were supposed to be back home! Home! With your brother and sister back home and you've done this nearly 57 times!? What am I gonna do with you" Toad roared clenching his fists tight trying to suppress his anger.
" Ok ok ok Toad I feel the same way just get him out here" Avery said as she opened the cell and grabbed Sleazy by his arm and handed him to his brother" If he gets caught again Toad he going to have to wear a ankle monitor or worse face prison time" She told the older quad solemnly.
Sleazy removed himself from Avery's arm "Your not our Dad so don't act like him!" Sleazy yelled skating towards the doors disappearing, Toad collapses burying his face in his hands.
"Fuck Sleazy!" Avery shouted at him but then brought her attention to Toad and sighed deeply as she help the large toon get up" Toad are you having money trouble?" She asked softly.
He stares up at Avery looking at her eyes for a moment "If you can..meet us at the skating rink the abonded building you'll see why" Toad spoke dryly picking his self up skating towards the exit.
Avery nodded" Toad wait" she said making him stop to look at her" Have you or sister heard anything about a club called 666?" Avery asked.
"I was a bouncer there once... but I know it's dangerous there..and" he looked down before looking up "I'll keep Cindy from visiting that club" he assured turning around skating towards the exit door.
Avery then turned to Hickory " Lets go.." she told him as they headed towards the parking lot.
Avery sat in the passenger seat of Hickory fancy toon car, it was a dark blue toon car that look very real instead of Looney club 666 was in the bad part of toon town called Cool world where sex, drugs, and extreme violence not like regular toon violence reigned supreme.
Avery can heat the echoes of Earth wind and fire beat loud in the club once they walked in" go investigate over there and I will be here!" She yelled to him over the music as she walked into the dancing crowd she had to admit it was more intense and crowded then the club she was at last night.
She could see less Looney tunes and more mature looking ones as she moved, they where doing drugs, wearing reaveling outfits, but the dancing seemed not to loose their looniness. She froze when when she noticed in a corner in the back that toons where shooting or taking the pill form of" Ink" along with toons having sex with each other or with humans. Avery could no longer stand the sight of it as she moved away from the scene.
There was a dozen of laws broken in this club that many could be arrested for but Avery wasn't stupid she knew Cool World was pretty much lawless and was very hard to enforce the law down here. Avery opened her eyes wide when saw saw Cindy with Raul on the crowded dance floor.
"Cindy" she whispered shoving her way towards the crowd.
She went over to the female toon and grabbed her by the shoulder making her turn around to look at her" Cindy! What are you doing here! ?" Avery yelled over the music" You brother has been worried sick and Sleazy was arrested again!" Avery lectured her" You said you would go home at 3 remeber" Avery said with solemn eyes.
" I know you like to club Cindy and I don't care about that but this one!" Avery gestured" Is definitely not safe right now!"
"well I did but after me and Raul had fun at his place we decided one more club was enough and I wanted to get out more" Cindy spoke twirling one of her pigtail "Shucks honey but what can I do for Sleazy?"
"I just want to have fun is that too much to ask?" Cindy spoke sounding a little irritated Raul mostly hid behind Cindy's skirt.
Avery frowned at her" Cindy humans and toons have been reported going missing here..." she told her gravely" One was just recently a human girl around your age almost a week ago" she explained.
Avery sighed deeply as she rubbed her eyes" Please...just be careful and least call your brother to let him know your ok " She asked her.
Her and Hickory spent what seemed like hours at the club with no leads at all, both of the officers gotten fed up with the loud club and drug scene more so with Hickory who was 5 years sober from Ink addiction so being around the club was too much temptation.
After Avery left the club she went over to pick up her daughter at her toon adoptive parents house, well wasn't really house but more like a condo above the Burlesque club called Little Red's that they owned.
Avery pulled up in the back of the club and went through the back door and made her way through the dinning room/ stage with a few toons saying hi to her as she passed by.
And right on que she saw her mother Red Ridding hood singing and dancing on stage.
Even though the toon woman looked around the same age as Avery and was petite and beautiful Red Ridding Hood was actually born in the early 50s. Avery could hear the familiar toon wolf calling making her head turn to see her dad Big Bad with heart in his eyes. Both the toons where madly in love with each till this day and the honeymoon went on and on to Avery exasperation. Soon the song ended and right on que again Big Bad ran to the stage to dip his wife to kiss her repeatedly toon hearts surrounding them.
" Eww kissing is gross" she heard cute little voice pipe up at this making her turn to see it was 7 year old daughter Lily sitting at the table her dad was sitting at earlier" Oh really kissing gross huh?" Avery said as she snuck up behind her daughter before wrapping her arms around the little girl and covering her with kisses making the little girl giggle " Mommy stop! Haha" she said through her giggling.
Avery laughed as she pulled away to look at her daughter" Hey Sunshine did you have fun at school today?" Avery asked as she picked the little girl up.
Lily nodded at this" Yeah we made origami" Lily said excitedly as she showed her mother the blue paper crane she made" That's really great" Avery cooed to her daughter while giving her a big smile.
" Avery! My baby!" The human soon heard her mom call out for her not before the red head toon brought her into a tight hug almost knocking the wind out her" Oh my princess I missed you so much" she said covering her face in kisses leaving bright red lipstick mark all over" Ahh! Mom you know you make gets all over my face when you do that" she said annoyed as she wiped her face with her hand, Lily giggled at this.
" How can you miss me you just saw you yesterday" Avery pointed out" Not to mention you had Lily" Avery then gestured to her daughter.
" Of course I'm happy to see my grandbaby" Red cooed as she pinched Lily's cheeks" We had so much fun doing our hair and dress up!" Red clapped her hands.
"There's my princess! " Another voice squeled and soon another set of arms wrapped around her in a big hug" Oh your getting more beautiful everytime I see you" Big Bad said as he held her tightly, Avery had a hard time breathing" Dad you saw me yesterday" she told him dead panned.
"But it's true" Big Bad turned puppy dog eyes at Avery's aloofness" Where do think our grandbaby got her looks from" The toon wolf said as he rubbed his check against Lily's" Haha grandpa stop that tickles" Lily giggled.
Big bad turned ghost white when Lily called him grandpa making dropped over" Lily dear I've told you call me Pop Pop not grandpa...I'm not old..
" He said depressed.
Avery and Red laughed a little at this then pulled her husband away" Ok dear straighten yourself up and tell our princess our new" At this her quickly regain his composer" Ah yes" He said as he straightened hos bow tie and wrapped his arms around Red's waist" Princess we have good news we are going on our second honeymoon" he said with a dashing smile.
Avery still looked at them deadpanned" Dad you two have gone your second honeymoon like 10 times already."
" And each one is more speacily then the last" her mom spoke up while heart appeared around them making Avery groan, she loved her adoptive parents very much but sometimes they where too lovely dovely for her tastes.
" Ok call me when you guys get back "Avery said as she picked up Lily's Disney princess backpack.
" Say bye bye to Grand and Grandpa Lily" Avery said bringing the little girl over to kiss each them" Bye bye grandma and grandpa" when she said this Big Bad turned depressed again in a comic fashion Avery just laughed as she turned to leave the club with Lily in her arms " When I get back Princess I know the perfect guy for you~" Red cooed to her daughter making Avery's blood go cold.
" Um sorry mom can't hear bye bye she ran out in a hurry into the car with Lily before driving off.
Lily was drawing in her coloring book as Avery drove down Toon-Ville thinking about Deborah Kim...when she saw that video of the young girl being taken it brought her worst fear of what if that would ever happen to daughter...how can a girl just disappear off the face of the Earth, yeah it's Toon-Ville but no one just vanishes here.
" Mommy why do not want to go on a date?" Lily's spoke up, surprising Avery so much she almost lost control of the car, then she laughed nervously.
" Sunshine it's just...Ahh ummm Mommy doesn't have time to date right now" Avery tried to think of an excuse groaning on the inside think her mother was trying get her daughter's help to play match maker.
" Is it because what Daddy did?..." Lily asked quietly.
This made the human woman freeze as she turn her head slightly to look at her daughter her face turned to sorrow" Oh sunshine that's not it at all..." Avery tried to console her daughter" Yes what Daddy did hurt Mommy but doesn't mean he's bad...and doesn't mean he doesn't love you" Avery tried stick up for her daughter's cheating father.
Even though she wanted to do nothing but bad mouth him and curse at his very existence which she had done more then once he was still Lily father and Lily was one the things she would be forever greatful to him.
" If he loves me...why doesn't see me" She asked her mother sadly while never taking her eyes off her coloring book.
This killed Avery everytime Lily asked for this" Lily its- " Avery cut off at the sight of their apartment building up in flames, Lily followed her mother's gaze and her eyes widen in shock.
" Stay in the car" Avery told her sternly as she parked and ran out to see the damage, TVFD had arrived by then as Avery and the rest of the residents both humans and toons watched helplessly the consumed their homes and as the toon and human fire fighters tried desperately to kill the monsterous blaze.
