Chapter 4: Arriving at the Television Station
Poor, poor Courage. Once again, the former pink dog was heading toward his doom. This time with Eustace in a strange car that was parked right outside the house was heading straight for the television station to claim his prize.
"You stupid dog, even as a cat you cause problems" shouted Eustace as Courage was tied up in the shotgun seat, "maybe now you'll learn your lesson not to be a stupid dog, even as a cat!"
Courage began to cry, as Eustace was driving up to the television station's gate, where a cat in a military uniform was there to greet the farmer.
"No humans allowed to enter this facility" said the military cat soldier.
"Got me a fugitive with me, going to turn him in for the prize" replied Eustace as he showed Courage now as a cat tied up at the shotgun seat.
"Very well, proceed to enter the station" replied the military cat soldier.
Eustace laughed along the way, as the gate was opened for him to enter the television station. The farmer drove the car toward the parking lot where he was greeted with a few cats in black government-style G-men suits.
"Ah, this must be the former dog fugitive our new grand leader, Mister Mittens was talking about" said the first black suited cat as Eustace opened up the door to the shotgun seat of the car.
"Yep, that's the former stupid dog who still is causing trouble even as a cat" replied Eustace, "when do I get me reward for turning him in?"
"Follow me" said the cat in the black suit, as he turned around to his fellow cats in black suits, "take in the former dog and bring him to Mister Mittens."
Eustace laughed with joy again, as poor Courage was being cuffed by the cat black suits.
"We should really head to de-claw this former dog" said one of the cat agents bringing Courage into the television station.
"Now that's an idea that should be implemented against troublesome independent cats whom are not controlled by our leader" laughed a second cat agent.
"Oh, I got to find a way out of here" said Courage to which he then noticed a mouse quickly scattering by the television station's floor, "hey guys, look a mouse!"
"A mouse, where?" asked one of the cat agents.
The cat agents then scattered to head to see who would be the one to catch the mouse. As the cat agents cornered the mouse in a hole in the wall of the station, Courage quietly snuck toward where one of the cat agent had the keys to the handcuffs. Courage quickly grabbed the handcuffs and took off his cuffs and threw them to the ground.
"Hey, that former stupid dog is escaping!" cried one of the cat agents who realized he was tricked.
"Get him you fools!" cried the head cat agent to which he then grabbed the mouse out of its hole, "In the mean time, I'm going to enjoy my lunch."
"Oh no you're not!" cried another cat agent as he and other cat agents began to gang up on the head cat agent.
"Hey, back off, this mouse is mine!" cried the head cat agent.
"Will you cats stop goofing around!" cried Eustace, "You're letting that former stupid dog get away!"
"Stay out of this farmer!" hissed one of the cat agents as he and his fellow agents exposed their claws as they were literally going to get into a cat fight with their boss.
"Fine, I'm going to get that former stupid dog without your help" replied Eustace as he ran off in a huff after Courage.
Meanwhile, poor Courage was running for his life away from Eustace. He did not know where to go this time, and he was running out of options on what to do. He passed one corner of the station and headed down another hallway. There Courage then began to hear that Mister Mittens was practicing for his speech on world domination.
"Yes, I am your new ruler my future subjects, you'll have no choice but to obey me once I rule the world with an iron claw!" laughed Mister Mittens.
"Come back here, you stupid former dog!" cried Eustace as he saw Courage taking a sneak peak at Mister Mitten's speech.
"What, what's going on in the hallways?!" cried Mister Mittens as he then came face to face with Courage himself.
"Gotcha, you stupid former pink dog!" cried Eustace as he grabbed Courage by the neck.
"Hey, can't you read, no humans are allowed in this building!" cried Mister Mittens.
"I got you that fugitive former stupid dog you were looking for" replied Eustace as he gave an evil grin to Mister Mittens.
"Ah, well now that changes everything" replied Mister Mittens as some cat agents in black suits came into the scene, "come on in farmer, you'll be an honored guess who won't be turned into a cat once I rule the world."
"That sounds pretty good to me" laughed Eustace.
As Mister Mitten's cat agents in black suits were getting his podium up and running, along with also his speech, Courage was desperately trying to find a way out of this situation. Courage was held by the neck by Eustace, and one of the cat agents was coming into the scene with a cat carrier as a portable jail cell for poor Courage.
"This should shut you up pretty good" laughed Eustace as the cat agent then opened up the carrier.
Yet as the farmer was trying to put Courage into the carrier, Courage resisted at every turn. Even making it difficult when the cat agent opened up the carrier, Courage wouldn't go in. He would manage to attach himself to Eustace's arm.
"Stupid former dog, get into that cat carrier now!" cried Eustace who was shaking Courage up and down to shake him off his arm.
"What's taking so long to putting the former dog where he belongs?" asked Mister Mittens as he was about to head up to the podium.
"This stupid former dog won't go into this carrier no matter how much we have tried!" cried Eustace.
"Ha, face it you former dog" said Mister Mittens to Courage, "you mine as well go into that carrier, because it looks like I have already won. Look around you, I have literally turned any human into Nowhere who has resisted my rule into a cat, and also turned every dog in Nowhere into a cat as well. So you mine as well just fall right into that cat carrier, or I'll make you!"
As Mister Mittens was about to take charge of the situation, poor Courage was running out of options on what to do next. He may have to take a drastic measure which he would not be able to do even as a dog.
