Dudley and Kitty drove back to TUFF after another successful mission. Snaptrap had planned to create a giant magic wand and wish cheese away for good. Then he was going to wish for about 1,000 gallons of gas for his giant robot.
Dudley had been at TUFF for exactly one year on that date and Kitty had planned a party for him since he was her partner and her best friend. They went inside TUFF feeling good about the mission, but they didn't know that the next mission lay in the bushes. This mission would be one that would change their lives.
Dr. Rabies and Madame Catastrophe were hiding plotting their revenge on the duo not only for putting them in prison but because they had to share their cell with the angry sharks from the shark tank. They had a plan to capture Kitty and hold her for a ransom. Then they would leave a note and when Dudley went looking they would be ready.
Dudley and Kitty went in to TUFF and everyone yelled surprise. Since Kitty knew what was going on, no one got shot with a laser. Dudley was pretty happy. The party went on for a while and after a while Kitty went outside feeling that she did a good job. She sat and watched the sunset for a bit when she swore she saw something move in the bushes. She went over to look. She looked in the bushes and saw… she didn't have time to figure out what she saw because she was knocked out by Madame Catastrophe's knock- out ray. They quickly grabbed her and pulled her into the bushes and they laughed silently.
"Next stop, Transylvania." said Dr. Rabies.
A little while after the party, Keswick went up to Dudley. He seemed to be turning the building upside down looking for something.
"Loose another one of your ch- ch- chew toys again Agent P-P- Puppy?"
"No. I can't find Kitty anywhere. I've looked everywhere but"- Dudley was interrupted when a smash was heard from the snack room.
Dudley and Keswick sprinted into the snack room to find a smashed window and a rock a few feet away from it. There was a note tied to the rock. Dudley read it aloud.
Dear TUFF agents,
We thought you might want to know that we have taken Kitty Katswell hostage. If you ever want to see her again bring $100,000,000 to us at our secret hideout in Transylvania. You have 10 days. We aren't telling you were our hideout is. You'll just have to figure it out.
Hate,
Anonymous
Dudley nearly popped out of his skin. How had Kitty been captured?
Then the Chief came in the room. "What was that noise" he asked. Dudley showed him the note. His eyes were huge when he finished reading it. "Well Agent Puppy, looks like you're going on your first solo mission."
Dudley couldn't believe what he had just heard. "What? I can't do it alone!"
Chief looked him in the eyes. "You've been at this agency for a year. I know you're ready."
Dudley sighed and knew that whether he was ready or not, he had to find his partner. He nodded and got ready for the long trip.
Transylvania-
Kitty woke up not knowing where she was. She was chained up in a dark room. She tried as hard as she could to break free, but no matter what she tried the chains wouldn't come loose.
"Who's there?" she screamed when she heard someone laugh.
"Try as you might. You'll never escape." said Dr. Rabies. Kitty knew who the voice was at once.
"Dr. Rabies and Madame Catastrophe? Figures. Snaptrap couldn't keep me down. Where are you?" she asked.
"You don't need to know that! TUFF will not get you back unless they pay us $100,000,000 dollars!" Madame Catastrophe said.
Kitty at first wasn't worried at all. "Dudley will be here soon! When he gets here, you'll be sorry!"
"We're already prepared for that! The second he gets here, he's doomed!"
Now Kitty was worried.
"You might as well get as comfortable as you can. You've got a long wait."
Kitty had many things on her mind. Where was she? What was going to happen to her? Was she going to get out of here alive? But most of all she was hoping that Dudley would find her and find a way around the trap that Dr. Rabies and Madame Catastrophe had planned. She didn't know why but she couldn't stop hoping that Dudley would be alright. That was all she remembered before she blacked out.
Back at TUFF-
Dudley was finally ready and had enough supplies that would help him throughout his mission. He finally got enough self confidence in himself to believe that he was ready.
He got into the TUFF mobile with a number of things on his mind as well. But he was so worried about Kitty that he didn't notice any of these things. He started the car and began his long mission.
"Hang on Kitty." he said to himself. I'm coming."
