P.S- please look at the poll on my profile. It ends when I finish two or three of my stories.


When Olivia was done telling Basil her story and was smoking on his pipe.

''This case is most intriguing with its multiplicity of elements...its many twists and turns.'' He turned back to Olivia.

''Now, you're certain you've told me everything? The slightest detail may be important.'' He said as April rolled her eyes.

''It's just as I said. And then my father was gone.'' Olivia said.

That's when Dawson decided to speak. ''What do you make of it?''

Basil begins to pace as Olivia follows him copying his movements just without the pipe. The scene was absolutely adorable in April's eyes.

''Hmm. Ratigan's up to something. A crime of the most sinister nature no doubt. The question is...what would he want with a toy maker?'' 'Why would dastardly villain want with a toy maker? To build something perhaps?' April thought leaning against the wall by the window. Olivia comes up to it but then screams as the lighting flashes making April look at the window to see a bat, Fidget, just fall to the ground. Basil grabs his coat and runs to the door.

''Quickly Dawson, we've not a moment to lose!'' He ran out into the night with Dawson and April catching up

''Uh, uh I'm right behind you, Basil.'' Dawson said.

They all rush outside, but Fidget was already gone. Basil looks around and kneels down to look at the sidewalk. April looks as well to see some muddy footprints.

''No sign of the blackguard anywhere.'' Dawson said as he looked around for anything.

''Not quite, Dawson. He left some rather unusual footprints. They obviously belong to the same fiend who abducted the girl's father - Ratigan's peg-legged lackey.'' Basil said as April follows the mud trail to find the black cal fidget was wearing.

''Basil! Look I found something!'' She called grabbing the detective's attention to the item she was holding. Snatching it away he gave her a smile.

''Ah-ha! Excellent work, Ms. Brook. Ha, ha, ha!'' He laughed as he rushed back to the house.

''It's April!'' She yelled as she and Dawson chased after basil again.

Standing in the doorway are Olivia and Mrs. Judson, who is comforting the young girl.

''Now... there's nothing to be afraid of, my dear.'' The older lady mouse said to the little girl.

As an excited Basil rushes by, Mrs. Jusdon pulls Olivia back, glaring at Basil for his insensitivity. Dawson and April enters behind him.

Olivia turned her attention April.

''Is he going to come back.'' She asked scared. But April quickly comforted the girl.

''It's alright, he s' gone now.''

''Ha-ha! But not for long, Miss Flamhammer.'' Basil said throwing off his robe.

''Flaversham!'' April and Olivia corrected. They watched him quickly change it some detective gear.

''Whatever. Now, we simply pursue our peg-legged friend until he leads us to the girl's father.'' Olivia quickly gave him a hug in her happiness.

''Then you'll get my daddy back? ''

''Yes!'' He pushes Olivia down and pulls his legs free from her grasp as April tried to cover her laughter.

''And quite soon, if I'm not mistaken.'' Basil then goes down a small stair case to grab his coat. ''Now, hurry along, Dawson. We must be off to...Toby's.''

Dawson then asked confused. ''Toby?''

'Who on earth is toby?' April thought.

''Oh, you must meet him. He's just the chap for this.'' Basil said putting on his deerstalker cap.

''You-you want me to come?'' Dawson asked surprised that someone like basil would want him to come along on the adventure.

''Ha! I should think a stouthearted army mouse like you would leap at the chance for adventure.'' The mouse detective said cleaning his magnifying glass

''Well, heh, heh. I am rather curious.''

''Wait for me! I'm coming too!'' Olivia said as she grabbed her hat from the chair.

''And you better not forget about me!'' April said grabbing her jacket and cap. And from Olivia grabbing her things accidently knocked into the violin making it fall as basil dived in to catch it.

''What? Certainly not! This is no business for children or women.''

He sets the violin back on the chair. April looked at him in disbelief, she began to believe that the detective was far from sexism like twits on the streets.

''Are we going to take a cab?'' Olivia asked as she stuffed some crumpets into her coat pocket and ignoring his say.

Basil sighs and puts his hand on his forehead. Slightly annoyed, he takes her hand and makes her face him.

''Oh...my dear, I don't think you understand. It will be quite dangerous.'' Basil sits in his chair and violin, thus breaking it. The sound made April's eyebrows go up in amusement at the scene.

Basil grunts and pulls the ruined instrument out.

''Why you... Look at...'' He takes a deep breath, trying to control his rage.

Basil then growled. ''Young lady, you are most definitely not accompanying us. And that is final!'' he stamped his foot at final.

April just looked at him then smiled. ''So, when are we going?''

Basil did a face palm.


Alright there we go. And I'm sorry for being so long but I had summer school and that's not fun. But anyway I hope you can forgive me because it's MY BIRTHDAY! I am now 16!

Well like I said I hope you can forgive me. And review!
