Mystery on Ed Street
Chapter 6: The true culprits
The Eds found themselves in a dark room. It was nearly pitch black, and the Eds could only see the outline of a figure. "Okay, what's going on?" Eddy asked in a baffled tone. Double D tried to get a close look at who it was. He saw the person wearing a hat.
"Kevin, is that you?" Double D asked in a confused voice. Eddy's face became a scowl.
"I should have known. You better be prepared, 'cause we're not going easy on you" Eddy said angrily. Suddenly, The Eds saw two more figures walk up. One was tall and the other was short.
"Rolf and Johnny?" Double D said in puzzlement. Eddy pointed an accusing finger at them.
"So, you three are behind it. We'll put a stop to this now!" Eddy said confidently.
The lights went on, and the Eds were shocked to see the Kanker sisters wearing their usual attire, except May was wearing a baseball cap. Double D began to shiver in fear, Ed had a goofy smile, and Eddy sneered at them.
"Kankers" Eddy said angrily. Lee grabbed Eddy and looked at him face to face.
"We ain't going easy on you either, hubbies" Lee said happily. She made kissing noises, and Eddy began to look scared. Double D tried to run off, but Marie pulled him back by his hat. Ed tried to run off, but
Double D screamed. May took off a baseball cap she found, and put it on the floor.
"Hey girls, look what we have here" Lee said in a mocking voice.
"Looks like some boys who just woke up!" Marie said.
"And they're in their underwear!" May yelled as if the whole world should hear her.
May took a picture of the Eds with a camera.
"Hey, what's with the camera?" Eddy asked.
"We need to take pictures of everyone while they wear their clothes for bed" Marie answered.
"Now I have pictures of everybody" May said happily.
"Yeah, but Nazz wasn't wearing anything to cover her lower body. How strange" Lee said with a smile. Eddy realized what this meant.
"So you girls set up the traps!" Eddy said to them with an accusing voice. Gloating smiles grew on the Kankers' faces.
"That's right!" Marie bragged.
"And there are plenty of traps left!" Lee exclaimed.
"Wait, how did you set the traps?" Double D asked.
"Well, we heard Kevin announcing his party was tonight, so we snuck over here right away" Lee explained. "We set up a bunch of traps, and we had to quickly edit some during the party. We knew who would probably fall for each trap, so we set them accordingly, just so you wouldn't know where the kids disappeared."
"So you girls wrote the blood on the wall" Double D said in disgust. The Kankers laughed.
"That was lipstick, not blood" Lee said.
"Both are disgusting" Eddy muttered quietly.
"That story Kevin told wasn't too scary either" Lee said in disappointment.
"So you heard the story, but how did you do the carving in the sink so quickly?" Double D asked them.
"We knew the story about this house before tonight. Someone told it at school one day during Halloween" Marie explained. Double D nodded in response.
"Not much of a party anyway" May whined. "There weren't any treats or anything for us to eat."
Lee looked at May.
"What are you talking about, we got our treats right there" she said while pointing at the Eds. Eddy immediately knew what she meant, so he and the other Eds ran to the door. They saw the Kankers putting on their lipstick. The Eds ran to the door, but it was locked. Eddy began to panic, and said "Where's the key?"
"Oh boys?" Lee said enticingly. The Eds turned around to see her with the key. Eddy jumped for the key, and the Eds ran for the door.
"Hurry Eddy!" Double D screamed.
Eddy unlocked the door. The Kankers quickly grabbed the Eds. A sudden burst of fear and energy erupted from the Eds immediately. They suddenly broke free, ran out the door and shut it behind them. Marie was about to chase them, but noticed that Lee wasn't moving. Confused by her motionless sister, she asked "Aren't we gonna chase them, Lee?"
"No, they'll be back" Lee answered.
"You're right, they can't resist us!" May said.
The Eds ran down a hallway, leading away from the room. Eddy kept looking back, afraid that the Kankers would grab them and begin their smothering. "Where's the exit?" Eddy screamed. The Eds saw a door at the end of a hallway.
"We're free!" Eddy yelled. The Eds opened the door, rushed outside, and they shut the door.
"We barely escaped" Eddy said with a grim face.
"The Kankers are the masterminds of this setup!" Double D said panting.
"I think I wet my pants, guys!" Ed screamed. Double D stared at him blankly.
"Ed, you're wearing underwear, which is even worse!" Double D screamed.
"Okay, we have the key, and it might open the front door, so we could make a break for it!" Eddy said. Double D wasn't in agreement with his friend.
"But Eddy, the Kankers have photos of everyone from this party that could be used for blackmail!" Double D yelled.
Eddy didn't believe what he was hearing. He started panicking, and said "Double D, I can't be kissed by those harpies!" Eddy grabbed Double D by the shirt.
"Don't you remember when they had us marry them when we were naked and only gave us our clothes back after we kissed the brides" Eddy said angrily. "I won't be humiliated like that again!"
"I know, but if we don't get those pictures, they could get more than kisses from us" Double D warned him.
Eddy sighed, and he stopped his argument. "Then what do we do?" Eddy asked him.
"We should find the others and tell them about this" Double D replied.
"So how do we find the others?" Eddy asked him.
"Well, I think that the Kankers used these passages to take the pictures of the other kids" Double D said. We'll probably find everyone if we follow this passageway."
"Okay, but those Kankers better not catch us" Eddy muttered angrily.
The Eds walked down the hallway to see Nazz hiding behind a curtain. "Hey guys!" Nazz said.
"Nazz, are you okay?" Double D asked while he stopped sweating.
"I'm fine, except I just had my picture taken by someone a few minutes ago" she replied in embarrassment.
"Nazz, the Kankers are behind this!" Double D explained.
"They took the picture of you, and we just escaped them" Eddy screamed.
"Well, we could help find you some underwear and pants" Eddy replied. Nazz thought about it, and she made her decision.
"Okay, that sounds good" Nazz said to them. The Eds went back the way they came to find clothes for her.
"Okay, where could we find some clothes?" Eddy asked Double D.
"Well, the hallway near the room where the Kankers were had a closet, so maybe there are pants and underwear in there" Double D said.
"Okay, but we better not get caught!" Eddy told him reluctantly.
The Eds snuck towards the closet quietly. They heard the Kankers talking around the corner while Eddy looked through the closet.
"What should we do with the kids, Lee?" Marie asked.
"I don't know" Lee replied.
"Maybe we could keep them as pets!" May yelled. Her sisters just looked at her until Marie made a comment.
"No wonder she likes Ed" Marie snidely whispered to Lee.
Lee giggled and said "She's more stupid than a normal dumb blonde!" Lee whispered back. The two Kankers were laughing while Eddy continued his search. Eddy still couldn't find anything. He started sweating, afraid that they wouldn't find the clothes in time.
"What about our hubbies?" Marie asked. Lee was thinking, and came up with a response.
"I was thinking we could keep them here and live together" Lee answered her.
"They're so dreamy" May replied. The Kankers sighed, which made Eddy more nervous. He finally found a pair of panties and jeans.
"Got them" he whispered to his friends.
"Yay!" Ed screamed. Suddenly, the Kankers turned their heads toward the door.
"What was that?" Marie asked. The Eds heard the Kankers coming, so they hid in the closet. The Kankers ran to the closet, and opened the doors to see the Eds.
"It's the Eds!" Marie said with delight.
"Kisses all around!" Lee exclaimed. The Eds ran to the door, but Lee blocked it. They tried running into the room, but Marie was in the way. Finally, they tried to make it to the closet, but May was keeping it shut. The Kankers cornered the Eds against the wall.
"They're so cute!" Marie exclaimed. The Kankers began to put on lipstick, which made Double D act quickly. He turned out the lights, which stalled the Kankers. Ed grabbed them, and glued them to the wall. Eddy put the lights back on to see the Kankers stuck to the wall. Eddy ran over and grabbed the camera.
"I got it guys!" he said happily. The trio ran out the door and shut it behind them. The Kankers immediately grew angry expressions.
"Those jerks!" Marie said furiously. May tried to move, but still couldn't escape.
"How are we gonna get them now?" May asked Lee. Lee looked at her angrily.
"Pipe down, I'm working on it" Lee assured her.
"What were they doing with those clothes anyway?" Marie asked them. Lee thought about it, and understood why.
"They were getting them to dress that blonde girl. She better not lay a hand on Eddy" Lee said angrily.
Meanwhile, the Eds ran back to where Nazz was. They gave her the clothes, and she put them on behind the curtain. She walked out and was fully dressed.
"Thanks guys, I won't forget this" Nazz said gratefully.
"Well, what now, sock head?" Eddy asked impatiently. Double D paced around the room. Suddenly, he knew what to do.
"We glued the Kankers to the wall, so they won't be escaping anytime soon. In the meanwhile, we should look around for the other kids" Double D said. The others nodded in response, and began to head down a corridor.
