"HAHAHAHAHA" Dudley laughed manically. Not because he was crazy, it was more a move of desperation. He was tied on a chair in a room which was maybe the laundry of the prison. Mainly because everywhere stood these giant laundry machines and these carts which were full of laundry.

The lights were off and just some candles stood on the ground and spread a dark atmosphere. Dudley knew now what the villains wanted to do but just because he was in the middle of it. And he was also pretty ill-treated by now. The villains really did a good job, not in torturing because no one tortures better than Mel, but how they anesthetized him and brought him here, that was really even impressing for him.

They didn´t just mixed some ordinary sleeping pills in his food. They used his paranoia against him. The villains sent three guys to kill him. Dudley was able to prevent every killing attempt. The first killer tried to strangle him with a wire in the restrooms.

But Dudley was able to hit his elbow hard enough in the killers face so he immediately collapsed. The second tried it with a knife in the yard. The guy walked slowly towards him and tried to stab discreetly in his kidney. But Dudley was able to grab the knife and chase him away.

Stabbing the killer wasn´t an option on the yard, with all the warders around them. The last one tried to hit the back of his head with a pipe-wrench in the cell while he was sleeping. And if Snaptrap hadn´t warned him the killer would have succeeded.

All this killing attempts led to the fact that Dudley stayed awake the whole night and watched the cell door with panic and paranoia. But after a whole night of staring at a door in fear he couldn´t resist to rest in the arms of Morpheus. And right in this moment, they struck, captured him and tied him to this chair.

Then the so called torture began. Birdbrain was the first. He stepped to the chair and said something like. "It will be a pleasure for me to remodel your face." And then he beat his fist into Dudley´s face. "Is that all you got?" retorted Dudley bored. "Come on try it again."

Birdbrain looked confused at him and beat him again. "Good!" praised him Dudley. "You still beat like a four year old girl but you getting better."
"WHAT?!" Birdbrain began to beat up Dudley angrily but he laughed about every hit he had to take.

After Birdbrain it was the Chameleon´s turn. And Dudley somehow made it to make him cry just through the power of his words. He ran crying out of the laundry into the hallway where Madam Catastrophe and Doctor Rabies waited.

"Chameleon? What´s wrong?"
"He.. He.." The Chameleon ran away while they both heard the manic laugh of Dudley.
"What´s going on here?" Rabies watched the Chameleon running away "I mean we should lay into him, not the other way around!"

"Well, darling, it seems you´re the next. Good luck in there." Said Catastrophe with her light Russian accent. Rabies nodded to that and walked into the laundry room. And she heard through the door Dudley speaking. "Oh! Look who´s there! My ugly doppelgänger came and he…" his voice fell silent for a moment, maybe because Rabies beat him. Then she heard Dudley laughing again.. She hadn´t much contact to Agent Puppy only a few times but this guy must have been crazy.

Who would laugh when he gets tortured by the most dangerous villains of Petropolis? Hadn´t he realized in which serious situation he was and what will happen to him? Catastrophe counted down the time until it was finally her turn. She was the last one so she had the honor to knock his light out.

"Three… Two… One… Okay." She knocked three times at the door what was the sign for Rabies that his time was over. From the other side of the door she heard Dudley shouting mockingly.
"Is our time really already over DOCTOR? I expected more! I thought you were a luminary on this field. HAHAHA."

Rabies stepped out of the room with a face that said everything. It was the 'what did just happen' face. While shaking his head unbelieving he walked away without saying another word. Catastrophe took a deep breath and walked into the laundry.

"So who´s next? Oh you. The only lady here! But maybe you could be the only one who can beat like a real man. HAHAHA!"
Catastrophe walked to the chair and showed Dudley her claws.

"You want to impress me? With that? Really?" asked Dudley bored.
"That wasn´t really my intention." She wiped her claws across Dudley´s face and left some deep cuts in his face. "And, impressed?"

"If you really want to impress me tell me why you are wearing a goatee." He laughed while the blood dropped down from his face. Catastrophe rolled her eyes and took her fake beard of and her
eye-patch. "It´s fake you idiot like the eye-patch!"

"And like your accent?" Dudley grinned at her as Catastrophe covered her mouth with her hands. He made it that she dropped her complete cover. But it doesn´t matter anyway, he wouldn´t have a chance to tell that to anyone.

"I suppose your name is also a fake?"
Catastrophe didn´t answer to that she instead wiped her claws across his chest and ripped his overall. Dudley looked at his chest and then again up to her.
"Well you could at least invite me to the cinema before you rip the clothes of me."

"Why won´t you shut up!" She began in rage to slice Dudley´s body. As she calmed down Dudley was one big bleeding heavy breathing scratch. "Well, you're the best of all them yet."
"I´m also the last of them!"

"So this is over then? Because I want to eat early."
"You understand. I´m the last one! The last one you´ll see." Now she was the one who was grinning but Dudley stayed unimpressed.

"Wow… that´s somehow…"
"Bad? Evil? Devilish? "
"Predictable!" He corrected. "I mean, okay that I didn´t immediately understood what you all planned was clear. I´m sometimes really slow. But do you believe that nobody outside of the prison realized that this could happen? Do you think that nobody can put two and two together?"

"I don´t think that. But even if that happens. You won´t see this." She raised her hand and wiped it across his stomach. Dudley howled in pain the first time and Catastrophe knew that she broke him.
"Any last words Mr. Puppy?" she asked smiling.

"Yes, I have a question. Why do you want to kill me?"
"That question is so naive, only you could ask it!"
"I don´t want to know why you all want to kill me. I want to know why YOU want to kill me."
Catastrophe looked pensively at Dudley and thought about an answer.

"There is no real reason… Business maybe. Your disturbing our business."
"Business?! What went wrong in your past?"
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE ME! YOU DON´T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!"

"I HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE YOU! YOU DON´T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME! YOU DON´T KNOW WHAT I´VE BEEN THROUG" shouted Dudley back.
"OH REALLY?! YOU THINK YOU´VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT?"
she lowered her voice and continued. "You have no idea what a lot is."

"THEN TELL ME!" yelled Dudley. He wasn´t actually really interested about Catastrophes 'sad story' but he played for time. Every second he could delay Catastrophe killing him was… well was a second in which he was alive. And a second which he could use to free himself. He have tried that since he made the Chameleon cry and now the ropes with that his wrist was tied to the chair seemed to give in.

"It´s more than 19 years ago and it still haunts me. How he came into my room how he... I WAS A 16 YEARS OLD GIRL, GODDAMMIT!"
Dudley looked confused into Catastrophes face. That couldn´t be! But the resemblance with Kitty and the story she indicated… Dudley eyed Catastrophe closely now.

He spotted an almost not recognizable small scar on her forehead. All his doubts were wiped away now.
"Unbelievable… just unbelievable. That is unbelievable." Stammered Dudley.
"What?"
"All this time I haven´t seen that. But you have the same eyes! How could I oversee those eyes?"

"I have no clue what…"
"And the same voice. The same slight sarcasm in every word you say. Kerry Katswell, how could I forget you?"
Catastrophe stepped surprised and perplex back from him. Nobody knew her real name, so how could Dudley? Now she eyed him closely. And she recognized the white dog.

"Jason Swan?! But how?"
Dudley stood up from the chair because he managed that the ropes finally gave in. "I know that you got a lot of questions."
Catastrophe backed away from him. "No stay away!" she shouted but Dudley came closer and closer to her. She tried to beat him but he dodge her panicked placed hits.

He stretched out both of his arms and gave Catastrophe a hug. Even more surprised by that she couldn´t move. She just stood there and kind of enjoyed it. It made her feel so good again.
"But I… I…"
"Shh. It´s okay. He´s gone and won´t come back." Dudley even used the same words. Catastrophe was so steamrolled by all this that she returned the hug.

While the two were cuddling a team of T.U.F.F. special forces, what were actually just the chief, Kitty and Keswick, had captured Birdbrain, the chameleon and Doctor Rabies.
"Where are they?" nagged Kitty at them.

"You are to late Katswell. There is no chance that Madam Catastrophe haven´t fulfilled her mission. The laundry room must be full of blood right now!" Rabies laughed crazily.
"Kitty! We take care of them. Go and look for Agent Puppy." Ordered the chief and Kitty didn´t even thought about hesitating.

She ran faster than she even thought that she was able to. One thought rushed through her head. "Dudley, you have to make it!" She pushed the laundry doors open and shouted. "Freez…" but more didn´t leave her mouth as she saw Dudley and Catastrophe hugging each other.

"Dudley!" she shouted shocked. Dudley and Catastrophe stepped away from each other, like they were doing something forbidden, and before Dudley could explain anything Catastrophe began to speak. "Kitty. It´s him. It´s Swan. He chased Dad away."

"Catastrophe? What are you talking about?!"
"Kitty, she isn´t just Madam Catastrophe she is also your sister." Intervened Dudley.
"That can´t be! My sister lives in Petsburg. Okay, she maybe has her problems with the police but…"
"That was just disguise, Sis. It´s really me!" interjected Catastrophe. "And Puppy is Swan! He´s the one who chased Dad away."

Kitty was really confused right now. Her sister a criminal? And here enemy? That for itself was much for one day.
"But what was meant with that you chased away Dad?" she probed confused.
"That means that I was the stranger that beat him up as he tried to…"

"THAT WAS YOU?!" screamed Kitty angrily. She couldn´t believe that she lived together with her hero all the time. With the man that made her launch her career at T.U.F.F. And that this guy haven´t told her that. She thought she could trust Dudley and she thought that he trusted her.

"I will answer you every single question you want but could we do this somewhere else, please?"
"Well, we…" Kitty was interrupted by the warden who rushed into the laundry guarded by half a dozen warders.

"What´s going here?" He walked towards Catastrophe and ordered. "You, back to your cell!" Then he turned to Dudley. "And you what are you still doing here?! I got a phone-call one hour ago. You are free."

"What, why?!"
"The thing with the fingerprint was a mistake. You´re a free man again, Puppy."
