When Kevin woke up that morning, something felt...off. He didn't know what it was, but he instinctively knew that it had something to do with Eddy. He never got this feeling unless the dork did something especially stupid. What did he do now?, he angrily thought. The last thing he needed was to wake up at 7:00 on a Saturday. He covered a pillow over his head and tried to go back to sleep..

Any dream of going back to sleep was swept away when he heard the sirens coming his way. He fell off the bed in shock and groaned when he landed face-first. Getting his wits together, he quickly dressed in his usual clothes of green shirt, black pants, and broad red cap. From the location the sirens were coming from, he knew that Eddy was involved, along with his remaining dorky friend. So the idiot had done something especially, especially, stupid; enough to warrant the police, that's for sure.

This better not affect me, he thought, or my bike...


The first time Lee had heard about Eddy disappearing was when she was eating breakfast. The orange-head girl and the oldest of the Kanker sisters had been eating a meal of leftover pizza with some orange juice when she heard the door open and slam shut so hard that the cup tipped over and spilled its contents all over her breakfast. She stared for one moment and turned cherry red the next.

''Okay, who did this?!,'' she yelled.

''Did you hear, did you hear, did you hear?!,'' May yapped into the kitchen. ''Did you hear about what happened, did you hear about what-'' her sentence was cut short by a punch to the mouth. May saw stars and wondered what the heck just happened.

Marie looked from the fridge and laughed. ''Hey look who has a new look!,'' she mocked. May retaliated by attacking Marie, specifically her hair. She didn't dare to attack Lee, who is far stronger than her.

Lee grabbed the squabbling sisters by the cuff of their shirts and smashed their heads together. Both fell to the floor in a daze.

''Will you 2 quit fighting? You're disturbing my breakfast!,'' she shouted.

''But did you hear? Eddy and big Ed have gone missing!,'' May squalled. At that moment, time seemed to stand still in the Kanker household as the words sank in like a sinking ship. The words meant that none of their boyfriends were here, that the other two were now captured or else ran away. That, to them, was something they couldn't tolerate! Marie couldn't speak, first her hunk, and now this? She didn't care about the others, but she knows enough not to try to kill them. That was her sisters' job.

''How did they get missing?!,'' Lee screams. How was this possible?! Grabbing both of them by the hair which shook Marie out of her trance and into a fit of screaming, she took them to the living room. She immediately pointed to May. ''Tell us the whole story, now!''

After a reluctant moment of silence, she blurted the whole story. Once she was finished, a plan had already formulated in Lee's head.

She gave one of the grins she always gave when something especially devious and outlandish had formed. ''Girls, we're gonna find those boys...Kanker-style!'' Her laugh cackled throughout the trailer, and seemingly throughout the trailer park.


Jonny was in his backyard doing yard work. He hated doing it, (what kid likes it?) but he at least had his best buddy with him, Plank. Ever since all three of the Eds disappeared, everyone in Peach Creek was advised to keep inside, especially children, at all times except when necessary such as getting groceries. His parents had decided to use this time to make their son do yard work, specifically shoveling the snow. There wasn't much, but that didn't mean he liked it still. Midway through his routine, he wiped the sweat starting to form on his forehead. It was never easy to do this, but at least he was going to drink some hot chocolate when this was over. Real hot chocolate, not the one that had nearly sent him and Plank to the hospital.

''Gee, Plank I never realized that shoveling was so hard!''

He turned to look at his lifelong, wooden friend his regular, but instead he made a horrifying discovery.

Plank was gone.

It was the worst thing that can ever happen to him.

He threw up his shovel and looked under a lawn chair. He wasn't under there. ''Plank! Where are you bud?'' He looked from side to side in the backyard. No Plank there. He looked everywhere, but no chunky wooden friend there.

Where in the world could he be?

''Are you looking for him here?''

He froze. The voice was behind him, but he recognized that voice. Every kid did and they had learned to run away as fast as humanly possible when they heard it. Reluctantly turning around to confirm his suspicions, he saw her. It was Lee Kanker holding his best friend up in the air like some victory had been achieved.

He moved before he could think and without thinking started screaming his name. ''Plank! Give him back you bully!''

Lee stopped him with only one hand while his arms thrashed out uselessly. She grinned evilly while she clutched him by the throat and stuffed him into a small red wagon.


This went on and on, first with Jonny and Plank, then with Nazz in her room, Rolf when he was making sausage, until finally everyone was caught gagged and bagged. The Kankers took them somewhere, but where they could only guess at. After forever waiting in anxiety (and complaining), they felt a strong thrust coming from the bottom and they all tumbled out like money from a bag.

After the initial shock wore off, Kevin took in his surroundings...and gaped at what he saw and understood why they were forcibly taken. Only one thought formed in his head.

Oh man...
