Wednesday, 3:42 AM.

"LOUIE?!" Huey called out, searching through every inch of the McDuck manor's garden.

Dewey was in the mansion, sneaking into every bedroom and checking every place he could. "Louieeeeee??" He whispered, trying his best not to wake anyone. It was almost 4 AM, after all.

But..meanwhile, Huey forgot one thing:

Uncle Donald.

The lights flickered on inside of the boat that rested in the large pool, out came an extremely tired Donald.

"Huey?! What are you doing out so late?!" He quacked rather loudly at his nephew, who jumped at the sound of Donald's loud voice.

"O-Oh...h-heeeyyyy, uncle Donaaaald! W-What are..you doing out so late?" Huey tried to act casual, but suddenly acting like nothing is wrong when something wrong is actually happening wasn't something he was very good at.

Donald squinted at Huey before pausing in a look of confusion. "Wait, what am I doing out so late?" He wondered for a moment before coming to a realization. "WAIT A MINUTE! Don't try those tricks on me, mister! You woke me up with all your SHOUTING!"

Huey flinched at the yells. Gee, uncle Donald sure is loud.

"I- uh- you-" Huey stammered nervously before sighing in defeat. "Alright, alright, you got me. The truth is..Louie is missing, okay?" Huey confessed, ashamed that he tried to hide such a serious thing from his own uncle.

"He's WHAT" Donald shrieked, his voice left a quiet echo as his anger turned into shock and disbelief. Louie..gone? This can't be happening.

He began to panick, rambling about horrible outcomes, purely out of worry and anxiety.

"WHAT IF SOMEONE TOOK HIM?! WHAT IF HE NEVER COMES BACK?! WHAT IF HE...HE...OH..GOD.." Donald dreaded that last thought. He can't lose another family member. Sure..Louie wasn't the best nephew, but he'd never wish death upon him..he loved Louie. He was the only one who ever showed that he truly believed in him.

Donald put his hand to his forehead, feeling a little dizzy from all the stress and anxious pacing. He shook his head and looked at Huey.

"We have to find him." Donald spoke in a dull, yet serious and emotional tone.

Huey nodded. "I'll go get Dewey!" He ran off towards the entrance of the mansion to inform Dewey about the change of plans.
