Chapter 1: Taken!
(In a dark alleyway behind the coffee shop, a tall 23 year old blue jay is heading home from a busy night in town. It is almost silent, except for the droning of the A.C. Unit)
Mordecai: It's getting late. The others might worry if I don't head back soon! (hears a noise behind a dustbin) What was that?
(Two gangsters are hiding behind a pile of garbage. They duck down as Mordecai turn to look in their direction)
Allan: Oh snap! He probably saw us!
Rick: Remember what boss said, "No witnesses!"
Allan: You mean...
Rick: (Nods in frustration)
Allan: Ugghh! We have to capture him!
Rick: Oh stop complaining you wimp! The sooner we get this over with the sooner we get paid!
Allan: $100 isn't enough to pay for this! I'm not carrying him once we catch him!
Rick: Then you have to stay in the back with him til' we get to HQ!
Allan: What! No way, never in a million years!
Rick: Just do it!
Allan: Fine!
Mordecai: Hello! Is anyone there!?
Rick: Allan! Now!
(Both men run out and tackle Mordecai to the ground. Rick puts his hand over the jay's mouth while Allan grabs a piece of wood and knocks him out)
Allan: Now what?
Rick: Take him to the van! (Under his breath) Noob!
Allan What was that!?
Rick: Nothing!
Allan: Can we go? He's a lot heavier than he looks!
Rick: Yeah, let's go!
(The two accomplices carry their hostage into the back of the van, before getting in and driving off. What they don't know, is that a specific large-headed man is walking along and spots them leaving)
Pops: Bad show! Very bad show!
