Salem: Alright I hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter! Moving on now. Officer Adam has just called Jack back to have a "talk" with him. Enjoy!

Officer Adam motioned for Jack to get against the wall. "You know the drill. Hands behind your head you roach." he spat.

Jack grinned and put his hands behind his head. "A roach? Is that the best you can come up with Adam?" he taunted.

Officer Adam ignored him. He began pulling the several crumbled up letters from Jack's pockets. He turned one over and read the address. "Arsonville huh?" he said tossing it to the side. "That where you've been hiding?"

Jack shrugged. "I wouldn't call it hiding." he said coolly. "It was more like a retreat."

Officer Adam rolled his eyes. He continued to search Jack over. When he was done, he stepped back. "I'm surprised. I expected a villain of your caliber to be packing some heavier gear." he said suspiciously.

Jack crossed his arms and flashed the officer a smile. "You really think—" he was cut off as the officer flew forward and grabbed his collar. He pressed him against the wall.

"I don't trust you." he hissed. "I've been your parole officer for years. What are you playing?"

Jack blinked and pushed the officer off of him. "I'm not playing anything." he said slightly annoyed.

Officer Adam didn't seem convinced. "Then why did you just show up here?" he demanded. "And why did you kiss Agent Katswell?"

Jack held up a hand to silence him, but Officer Adam continued. "I've seen what you've done to her you bastard! Quit preying on her to get to T.U.F.F.!"

"I'm not! Will you listen to me for a minute?" Jack yelled, flattening his ears in rage.

From the floor, Bird Brain listened intently. He had time for a final plot. He brushed his foot across Officer Adam's boot.

The officer looked down. "What do you want?" he growled.

"If I could interject my point of view into this little…dispute." Bird Brain began.

Jack stuck his nose in the air. "No one wants to hear what you have to say." he spat at the blue booby.

Officer Adam whacked Jack in the back of the head. "Shut up and let the bird talk." he motioned for Bird Brain to continue.

Bird Brain gave a sly smile. "Looks like you caught us officer." he said. "You caught us in the act."

Jack blinked. "What are you talking about?" he asked.

A look of false shock swept over Bird Brain's face. "Have you lost your memory Jack?" he exclaimed. "We're going to jail anyway. We should just tell this kind officer what we were planning."

Jack frowned. "What are you talking about?" he repeated.

Officer Adam was intrigued. He leaned against the wall. "Go on Bird Brain." he prompted.

Bird Brain cleared his throat. "I hired Jack as a hit man." he lied. "I wanted him to get close to Kitty so we could steal information on all the active missions at T.U.F.F."

Jack gritted his teeth. "What? I work for you? Quit lying!"

Officer Adam slammed Jack back against the wall. "I knew you were planning something you crook!" he yelled crossly. He motioned for Officer Earl to come forward.

Jack was in shock. "You actually believe this?" he exclaimed.

Officer Earl hunted around in his backpack for another pair of hand cuffs. When he found them, he hooked them around Jack's wrists. "Shut up and stay still. You're going back to jail Rabbit."

Jack shook his head. He looked back down at Bird Brain who smiled evilly up at him. If he was going down, he was taking Jack with him.

(Outside Bird Brain's Mansion, Petropolis Outskirts. 11:47pm)

Jet shrunk back as Mandy slapped another bandage on the side of his face. "Hey watch what yer doin!" he snapped.

Mandy smiled and continued to treat his wounds. "All of the hits you were taking in there and you can't handle this?" she laughed.

Jet gave her a small half smile and looked down in embarrassment. "Well…ye know…"

Mandy looked over at Kitty. She was leaning up against the S.W.A.T. truck and continued to watch the door. Mandy frowned and motioned for Dudley to come over.

Dudley stopped digging the deep hole he was working on and trotted over to where Mandy and Jet sat in the grass.

Mandy frowned. "What's wrong with Kitty?" she asked.

Dudley blinked and looked over to where his partner stood. He sighed. "I don't know."

Jet cocked his head as Mandy grabbed his arm to examine his broken hand. "Is it something about Jack?" he asked before looking around. "He hasn't come out yet."

Dudley looked down at the lizard and shook his head. "No that can't be it." He denied. "Kitty told me her and Jack were over."

Mandy and Jet froze. They exchanged a nervous glance.

Dudley frowned. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mandy sighed and rubbed the back of her neck. "Well, uh, you see…" she didn't really know how to express the truth gently. Dudley was going to be broken hearted.

Jet held up his good hand. "What Mandy is trying to say is that Kitty and Jack still share some…affections for each other."

Dudley laughed. "They what? That's crazy!"

Jet looked over at Mandy, hoping she could help him out. Mandy sighed. Dudley had not seen Kitty kiss Jack in the hallway. He would just have to figure it out for himself.

Dudley glanced over at the door and smiled. "Well, looks like they're going to jail." He said, satisfied.

Mandy looked over at the door. Officer Earl was leading out the prisoners one by one, pushing them along hastily. She watched as he threw the weeping Mad Cow into the back of the truck then proceeded to do the same with the rest of the villains. She frowned. There was still no sign of Jack, or the other officer. When the two finally appeared in the doorway, Mandy jumped up from the ground.

"Kitty look!" she exclaimed.

Kitty frowned and looked over at the door. Officer Adam pushed Jack along toward the car.

"Keep moving!" he barked. "Get in the truck."

Kitty gasped when she noticed the hand cuffs around Jack's wrists. She ran forward and stopped Officer Adam. "What are you doing?" she said throwing her arms in the air. "You said you just wanted to talk!"

Officer Adam shrugged. "We did talk." He replied. "And I learned everything."

Kitty looked at Jack. "What? What are you talking about?" she asked.

Officer Adam sighed. "Bird Brain told me everything. Jack was a hit man hired to get close to you just to gain T.U.F.F.'s secrets." He explained.

Kitty's eyes widened. "Jack you lied to me again?" she breathed.

Jack shook his head. "No! Bird Brain is trying to trick all of you!"

Officer Adam shoved him into the back of the truck. "Save it for the courtroom." He growled.

"Kitty I'm not lying to you!" Jack repeated, completely ignoring Adam's instruction.

Officer Adam rolled his eyes and slammed the door. "Can you believe this Agent Katswell?" he asked.

Kitty was in shock. She shook her head. "Are you taking him strait to court?"

Officer Adam went around the side of the truck. "No. We're taking all of them back to jail." He said getting in. "Why do you care?"

Kitty blinked. She looked up at the officer and narrowed her eyes. "You're really dumb aren't you?"

Officer Adam was taken aback. "Excuse me?"

Kitty continued. "I don't care if you were Jack's parole officer," she jabbed a finger in his face; "I don't care if you think you know him, but quit acting like you're right!"

Adam's whiskers twitched in annoyance. "Don't try busting him out again Katswell."

"I'm not." Kitty growled. "Because you're not taking him to jail. I know Jack's innocent."

The snide weasel stuck his nose in the air. "You can't stop me. I'm the head police officer!"

Kitty reached out and grabbed Officer Adam's collar. "I don't care what you are!" she snapped.

Officer Earl, who was sitting in the driver's seat, gasped. He pulled the last pair of cuffs from the dashboard and hooked them around Kitty's wrists. "Stand down Agent." He ordered.

Kitty gasped and looked down at the cuffs. "What are you—"

"I'm sorry Kitty, but you're going to jail for assault on an officer." Earl explained.

Kitty's eyes widened. "W-What? No! I-I was just…I-I…"

Dudley watched in horror across the clearing as Kitty was tossed in the back of the truck. He growled and rolled up his sleeves. "I'm going to kill those two!" he barked.

Jet jumped up and pulled Dudley back with his good hand. "No Dudley! Yer gonna get arrested too!" he warned.

Dudley looked back at the truck as it took off down the road towards the city. "But what about Kitty?" he asked hopelessly.

Jet grinned. "I've learned a thing er two in the past few weeks." He said nudging Mandy in the side with his elbow. "Imma villain after all, and I think it's time I showed Petropolis what Jet Phantom can really do."

Even I'm pretty upset at this chapter. Kitty and Jack are arrested and it's up to Dudley, Mandy, and Jet to rescue them? Will they succeed? Find out in the next chapter! No flames please!
