A\N The final chapter. Hopefully you'll like the ending. Even if you don't, oh well, I tried my best. I like to think Digby would like it, anyway.
Disclaimer: Don't own Pushing Daisies, Digby etc. I do own Spike the Alsatian, but I don't really like him, so it's not the same.
Ned stood, rooted to the spot, gaping. Joe Jones stood in front of him, waving a pistol. Spike had Digby backed right up into a corner.
"Give me Megan's cakes!" hissed Joe Jones.
"Megan's? Oh no, honestly those aren't Megan's. Maybe we could talk to this, as equals, man to man, instead of freaked out man to man with gun..."
"Yeah, it's a cool gun, isn't it?"
As Ned tried to talk his way out, Digby realised he had to escape from Spike. He dropped the cup pies- he didn't need them anymore- and tried to dodge.
No escape, mutt! Spike leered.
Look, you need to let me out! Before your master shoots Ned!
And why would I care about that?
Digby knew he wasn't going to escape unless he talked his way out. He needed to do some fast talking if he wanted to save Ned.
Because, because... he faltered.
You're going down, mutt!
Because if your master shoots Ned, Emerson will prove him guilty and he'll go to prison forever and you'll never see him again. Never!
Spike was so horrified, he froze for a moment, allowing Digby to escape. Digby rushed straight to the phone and dialled the emergency services. He'd seen dogs on T.V do it loads of times.
Joe Jones was arrested for the murder of Megan Lee and the attempted murder of Ned.
The facts were these: on sharing some of Edward Davison's cake, made by one Megan Lee, Joe Jones began to crave these treats like alcoholics craved alcohol, like smokers craved cigarettes, and like Digby craved pies. He bumped into Megan Lee after she'd had a fight with Edward Davison. Emotional and downhearted, she confided in Joe Jones about her dreams of being a singer. And then a deal was struck- he would let her sing at the Dance Dance nightclub (if singing was the word), if she supplied him her home made cakes.
But Joe Jones could not carry out his side of the deal. There was never a slot open for Megan's performance. And so, Megan Lee stopped cooking him cake. The night of her murder she explained this to Joe. He grew panicked and angry and attacked her with the nearest thing he could find-the mirror.
Megan Lee lied after her death (when she said she'd been returning money) because she was too embarassed to admit she'd been killed over cake.
Digby was on top of the world. He felt that he'd repaid Ned for bringing him back to life, as well as solving the murder. Emerson counted the money, but really it was he, Digby, who had put all the facts together and proved Joe Jones the killer.
Life was good for Digby.
