"So what's our next mission?" Finn asked
He and the other 'keepers' sat at a table in Wayne's apartment above the Firehouse
"Recently, we've had some trouble over at Hollywood Studios" Wayne said "We're not exactly sure what's been going on- our reports are vague"
"We're going in blind?" Maybeck asked
"Looks like it, but at least we're prepared- right?" Willa said
"You five had better get on your way then, the parks closed just a few minutes ago" Wayne said, looking at his watch
Finn and the others got up and left the apartment, quickly glancing around Main Street- they ran to the gates and left for Hollywood Studios, entering what they called 'DHI Shadow'
"I really wish he'd give us more of a heads up" Maybeck said as they walked
"You heard what he said, the reports he got were spotty at best" Philby replied
"Yeah, but aren't they supposed to know what's going on before they send us there?"
"Maybe it was urgent" Charlene said
Maybeck grunted in response as they reached the park
"So...what exactly are we supposed to be doing?" Willa asked
Finn and the others shrugged
"I don't know- keep an eye out for Overtakers and look for clues?"
"Sounds like a plan" Maybeck said
He and Willa walked towards the giant replica of Mickey's sorceror hat
"Let's go this way" Finn said, leading the remaining keepers towards the water tower
Passing the billboard with Roger Rabbit and Baby Herman, Philby spoke
"What do you think the Overtakers are planning this time?"
"It could be they aren't planning anything" Charlene said
"As if, you heard what Wayne said- someone or something has been causing trouble here"
"What if something happens on the Great Movie Ride?"
They all shuddered
Nearing the water tower, a black blur came racing out of a nearby cafe- pushing out and knocking over tables and chairs as it went
The three ducked behind one of the upturned tables thrown from the resturant
The blur skidded before turning and zooming down the street, towards the gates
"What was that?" Finn asked
"No idea" Charlene said
"I might have a hunch..." Philby said
Willa and Maybeck came running into view
"What- was that?" Willa asked
"We were looking around and saw this van come barreling down the street" Maybeck explained
"Was that what it was?"
"Who would be driving a car at this time of night? And in the park?"
"We might find our answers in there" Finn said, pointing to the cafe
The five DHIs walked into the ruined cafe, avoiding the silverware and overturned tables and chairs, poles atattched to ropes were knocked over in the middle of the cafe, upon closer inspection five cardboard cut-outs littered the ground, Philby picked up one of the cut-outs and studied it
"What's that?" Maybeck asked
"Smart Ass" Philby responded
"Hey!"
"Pardon my language, but look"
He turned the cut-out to face the others, a weasel in a pink suit and tie wearing a pink fedora with a dark pink band holding a gun
"I recognize him from somewhere..."
"Ever seen 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'?"
"Only once" Finn said
"Well there's this character, Judge Doom, and these weasels are like his police force"
"So if they're here-"
"Doom isn't, because he's not represented in any of the parks" Willa finished
"Well that's all good and dandy, but which of the OT's would steal a van that was used in some movie?" Maybeck asked
"It was a Dodge Humpback" Philby corrected "And the weasels themselves might have stolen it"
"But they aren't seen anywhere except-"
"On that one ride in ToonTown"
"But why would they come all the way over here just to take their car?"
"It's quite possible they're Overtakers, given that they're villians in the movie"
"Well let's get back to Wayne and see what he has to say about this"
They all agreed and walked back to Main Street
"That old van was stolen, you say?" Wayne asked
"It was there, now it's not- I'd say 'yeah'" Maybeck said
"We haven't had any activity in ToonTown in a few days-"
"Should we go and check it out?"
"That would probably be the best thing to do, if not, we've got to figure out why the OTs would want to take that car from the cafe"
The group once again left the apartment and headed to ToonTown
"This looks like the right place" Philby said as the group stopped in front of Roger Rabbit's Car-toon Spin
"Gee, what gave that away?" Maybeck said "The yellow cab hanging on the front of the building?"
Finn rolled his eyes at Maybeck's sarcasm
"We'd better get moving, we've got about five hours until dawn"
The group entered the waiting/loading area where a line of cabs sat motionless
"Am I missing something? Isn't there only one cab in that movie?"
"These are supposed to be Benny's cousin, Lenny"
Philby had, once again, done his homework
Finn led the others past the cage full of props and down the tracks, avoiding the cabs as they went
"Well that solves that" Willa said, pointing ahead to the first scene
Finn had been on this ride a few times before when he was younger, the first part of the ride was always Roger and Benny spinning out of control as Doom's henchmen poured Dip onto the road, but there was one thing wrong with the scene
The statues of the weasels were missing
"Keep an eye out guys, we don't know how dangerous they could be, if at all"
"They've got knives and guns, I think that qualifies as pretty dangerous" Maybeck quipped
"Shhhh, what's that?" Charlene said
*Clank*
*Clank*
*Thunk*
*Whhhhhiiiiiirrrrrr*
"Someone started the ride"
"-or something"
The headlights of the cabs shone on the group as they were pulled forward on the track
"Ugh, not this again" Charlene said, remembering their experience in the Small World ride
"Move with the cars, maybe we'll find something further inside"
"Uh, no thank you, we found what we came for- those ferrets are gone, let's go"
"Weasels"
"Whatever"
"Maybe we missed something back in the waiting line..."
"Willa, could you and Philby go check towards the enterance?" Finn suggested "The rest of us can look further into the ride"
"Yeah, let's go" She said
She and Philby retreated, leaving Finn, Maybeck, and Charlene to inspect the rest of the ride

"So..." Willa said
"So..."
"What should we start to look for?"
"To be honest, I don't really know"
"Where would those weasels escape to? They wouldn't fit in anywhere else in the parks..."
Philby remained silent
Willa and Philby continued to inspect the pre-show to the ride, looking for any clues to the weasel's whereabouts.
"Hang on, let me try something" Philby said
He walked to one of the fake doors in the hall and knocked
"Hmm, guess that didn't work the way I thought it would..."
"What where you hoping to do?"
"I just thought-"
The peephole on the door slid open
"What's the password?" a deep, rumbling voice asked
A/N: I'm torn whether I should continue this or not, let me know what you guys think- either PM or reviews work.
