Chapter 2: Abusing the Privilege

It was finally night time which had fallen under Duckburg. Both T.U.F.F. agents were assigned to guarding the vault door to Scrooge's wealth, and poor Dudley was already bored.

"Man, this is boring!" cried Dudley as he couldn't stand being in Scrooge's office.

"Dudley, please, we're suppose to be doing our job which is keeping watch" replied Kitty.

"Oh come on, I'm going to call up Ms. Beakly to get me some more cookies" laughed Dudley as he was heading for the phone that was on Scrooge's desk.

"Are you insane, we could get in trouble!" cried Kitty.

"Yeah, but Scrooge says that they're always available 24/7" laughed Dudley.

"I'm not so sure about something like that" sighed Kitty.

As Dudley reached over for the phone to call Ms. Beakly, she was obviously well fast asleep in her bed when her personal phone rang right next to her.

"Yes?" asked Ms. Beakly who was still quite tired.

"Can you bring up a plate of chocolate chip cookies up here?" asked Dudley.

"I'll have Duckworth send a batch out as soon as I am ready with them" replied Ms. Beakly as she began to head to the kitchen.

About an hour later into Dudley pacing around Scrooge's office, the cookies had finally arrived as Duckworth delivered them in his pajamas.

"Sorry for not being properly dressed" said Duckworth as he handed Dudley a plate loaded with chocolate cookies.

"Yeah, now that's what I am talking about" laughed Dudley as he grabbed the plate and began to literally eat right off of it.

"Dudley!" cried Kitty, "Scrooge might find this a bit odd here."

"Oh come on, how is he going to know?" laughed Dudley as he ate another chocolate chip cookie.

Scrooge was obviously fast asleep in his large room in his mansion. Yet for some reason, in one of his typical dreams which includes him swimming in a pile of money, and all of his wealthy rivals poorer than the bums in downtown crying, for some odd reason he could smell cookies being baked.

"That's strange" said Scrooge as he woke up from his dream, "I smell cookies in the kitchen, what's Ms. Beakly up to?"

As Ms. Beakly was about to make another batch of cookies, Scrooge began to march downstairs, and entered the kitchen.

"Ms. Beakly, what is the meaning of this?" cried Scrooge as he could literally smell cookies in the oven.

"Oh, I am sorry, but Dudley asked me for another batch" replied Ms. Beakly.

"Another batch aye, have Duckworth stay here, let me deliver those cookies, I am sure he'd have a big surprise" laughed Scrooge as he also readied his cane.

As Dudley waited anxious near the elevator for Duckworth to return with another plate of cookies, he was quite unaware that Scrooge was the one who was delivering the plate of cookies with his cane ready in hand to give poor Dudley a lesson or two. As the elevator finally reached its designation, a cane immediately came right out and smacked poor Dudley right on the head.

"That's for getting Ms. Beakly up and forcing her to make cookies for you" said Scrooge as he then also threw the plate of cookies right on Dudley's face.

"I swear Mr. McDuck, I had no part in this" said Kitty.

"Good, then it seems like you'll be the one who will be out on the lone watch for the night" said Scrooge as he headed back downstairs back toward his mansion for the night.

As the hours of the night went by, Vernimous Snaptrap and the rest of D.O.O.M. were only another day or two away from reaching Duckburg.

"Bah, this is taking too long!" cried Verminous as he then headed to the driver's seat where Big Time was at the wheel of the machine, "What's taking so long?"

"Er, there are still several miles of rocks to dig through" replied Big Time, "going to take awhile, about another day or two."

"I told you we should have been the ones to come up with the plan" sighed Ollie.

"Hey, listen pal, I've been hitting at old Scrooge McDuck's place for some time, give me a chance here" roared Big Time.

"Yeah, anyone who has a problem here, we're going to leave behind" added Vernimous as he then glared at Larry, "Larry, do you have any problems with Big Time being in charge?"

Larry simply shook his head trying to desperately to agree with Verminous.

"Good, because I really wanted to push you off if you said otherwise" laughed Verminous.

As Big Time continued to secretly bid time for the T.U.F.F. agents, it was finally morning which poor Dudley finally woke up with crumbled up cookies right on him.

"What happen?" asked Dudley as he was still a bit dizzy.

"Dudley, I was the only one who was guarding Scrooge's wealth all night" said Kitty.

"How come all of my cookies are all crumbly?" asked Dudley.

"Er, Scrooge threw the plate at you" replied Kitty, "and he also hit you with his cane."

"What, an old guy like him managed to outwit me?" cried Dudley who felt a bit upset.

Suddenly, the Chief emerged from the elevator who was curious to know what their progress was so far.

"So, what happen here?" asked the Chief as he came into the scene.

"Dudley abused his privileges here and got Scrooge upset" replied Kitty.

"Dudley is this true?" asked the Chief as he hopped over to Dudley.

"Er, kind of blurry on that" replied Dudley.

"Well, I don't care who's fault it is, you two are continue to guard Scrooge's wealth and that's final" continued the Chief.

As Dudley slowly got up and headed to continue his duties, the T.U.F.F. agents were unaware that they had received an unlikely ally or so they thought who was heading this way with D.O.O.M. toward Duckburg.
