*spins around* WOOHOO! CHAPTER 10!

Flora- yes, what an accomplishment... How about your other stories? Some that you haven't even finished at least one chapter for? Hmm?

... Shut up. I've been a little busy with fevers and a horrible cough. Plus, I had to delete the finished chapters because my phone got lock. Got it unlocked, deleted the app I use to write my chapter. Had three chapters for this story that went down the drain... Anyways, hello my friends! Yes, the tenth chapter! I really thought I would never get here, but I did!

Pesky- YEA! Wait, you aren't my author ._.

... Who cares! You're invited to the party!

Pesky- PARTY! HOORAY!

ENJOY THE CHAPTER!

Davis paced around in circles, deep in thought. The chilling letters started to turn up again, as well as pictures of the victims. "Dude, you seem stressed out. Why not relax while we take care of the rest." Tzoc said motioning the cat towards the door, she flew over to the door and opened it. "No! I have to find out who the hell is behind this inhumane act of evil!" He yelled slamming his fist down on the desk, Tzoc growled and glared darkly at him. "What?" Davis asked when he noticed the chimera was glaring at him, Tzoc snapped out of her dark state and smiled nervously. "Oh, nothing! Hey, I think I hear Mirrors and Splendid calling! Gotta run!" She suddenly said, she quickly bolted out the door, bumping into Ares, Clover and Splendon't on her way out. She stumbled back, but quickly fluttered up and landed on her feet. "Tzoc, lately you've been acting really strange. What gives?!" Clover asked, the chimera smiled brightly and slowly made her way around the three. "Oh, I'm just so worried about... Sub Zero and Wrak. You know, the coon's really old, and Sub freezes everything so you know..." She said while looking around the hallway.

"... Well, I get what you're saying..." Splendont said, Tzoc smiled. "See! 'Xplain it to them red boy!" She said before continuing her walk down the hallway. "Okay..." Ares said, he quickly ran into the room where Davis was, who now had his head down on the table, hands clutching fur in rage. "GOD DAMN IT THAT SON OF A BITCH! HOW DOES HE DO IT?! GOD I NEED SOME FRESH AIR!" He shrieked, Clover snickered. "Dude, relax. We got something." She said holding up a file. Davis' head shot up, he got up from his chair and snatched the file from the cat's hand. "He let this one slip. Guess he wasn't paying attention..." Splendont said, he crossed his arms and took a deep breath. Opening the file, Davis' eyes widen, his mouth becoming agape. "That's... Impossible. He can't be the murder master mind behind all this!" He said flipping through the white crisp pages. "The fingerprints on that note don't lie, Davis." Ares said, he looked at the cat dead in the eye, and frowned.

"The murder master mind you speak of is-"

...

"This is BULLSHIT! What asshat gives us this riddle clearly pointing towards a damn utility pole, but doesn't leave the note in any of the damn utility poles?!"

Speedy crossed his arms and kicked the last utility pole they checked that was in the town. "But... That's the only think that's buried six feet deep, yet is above ground!" Swifty yelled, Speedy shot a glare at her. "You think I didn't know that Sherlock?!" He yelled back at her, leaving the raccoon speechless. "Hey, don't yell at my sister like that!" Thrifty yelled, kicking the bird. "Alright you three that's enough!" Rissa yelled, she pried the young raccoon off of the road runner and placed him down on the ground. "I know this is starting to seem like a lost cause, but we have to keep on looking for something!" Rissa said, Speedy stood up and nodded. "Okay... So what else is here that describes the item in the riddle...?" Swifty asked, the group glanced around the park and looked for something, anything. "Okay... What about something someone build?" Thrifty suggested, Speedy grinned widely and hugged the raccoon. "Thrifty, you magnificent GENIUS!" He yelled in joy, the little boy gasped for breath. "Can... You... Let me... Go..?" He managed to say, Speedy gasped and let the kit go. "Okay... So what has been built that's six feet deep yet above the ground?" Rissa asked, the group looked at each other again with blank expressions. "... Well... This is gonna be a long search..." Spark said with crossed arms, everyone nodding in agreement...

...

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck..."Cuddles mumbled to himself as he desperately looked for something to break the wall down. "Cuddles, we've looked and looked and looked, there's nothing here that will help us escape." Toothy said angrily, Cuddles shot a harsh look at the beaver. "You never KNOW!" He yelled, he tossed a box away and looked into another. "Cuddles you crazy rabbit, there's nothing here!" Flippy said throwing the box back at the rabbit. "The boy's right Cuddles, there ain't nothin' here that'll help us eacape." Wrak said tossing a cigarette towards the other wall. "You really are bored aren't you. Not scared at all as to who's the next victim..." Handy said, eying the raccoon suspiciously.

"What? Ya think I'm helpin'the damn maniac?!" He asked.

"Well, it could be a possibility..." Handy said.

"How?" Pollet-Wan asked.

"Well, he seems a bit nonchalant, too nonchalant..." Sub said narrowing his eyes.

"Okay, first, stop saying nonchalant and say calm. Second, Wrak isn't the kind of guy to just turn his back on all of his friends! Third, if he was helping the psychopath, why would he still be here?!" Cindy Lou yelled backing the raccoon up.

"You never know Cindy Lou..." Destiny said with crossed arms.

"Ha." Lifty suddenly blurted out.

"What?" Destiny asked.

"Nothing..."

Destiny looked away and scrunched her nose in annoyance. "I don't like your laugh, and your tone for that matter..." She said annoyed, Lifty just smirked. "Well, if you must know why I laughed, is because it's impossible for him to be working for the stupid cunt. He's old, and not the brightest person you've ever met." Lifty said. "Thanks Lifty, I'll just take that as a compliment." Wrak said with a half hearted smile. "Well, he isn't as old as Sir Walter..." Chelsie muttered. "What are you getting at Chelsie? Why bring Sir Walter up?" Flippy asked, Chelsie sighed. "Don't you know what he does for a living when he isn't serving justice as a lawyer and saving our asses from doing jail time? He builds things, and seems to know a lot about technology and plumbing, for an old man he has the energy of a teenager! He seems like the kind of person who would be capable of doing this!" She said pointing out obvious facts, Cindy Lou shook her head.

"No, no, no. Why would he do this in the first place? For revenge? What does he want revenge for? He's a 55 year old man who just got out of a messy marriage with his bitch of an ex-wife, what's her name?"

"Babs."

"Thanks, Sub. Anyways, and he managed to just keep the summer house in Happy Tree Valley. Why would he want to kill us? We haven't done anything wrong to him!"

Chelsie shrugged. "I'm just saying..." She said, her gaze on a couple of boxes. "Even so, that was a ridiculous claim. It's blasphemy I tell you, blasphemy!" Destiny said pointing a finger at Chelsie, who just rolled her eyes at the bear. "Can we stop blaming random, and innocent people and just, I don't know, sit here?!" Handy asked, the group glanced at each other before mumbling to themselves and sitting there waiting for something to happen. "I ain't old... Or stupid..." Wrak muttered to himself as he leaned against the grandfather clock. "Of course you aren't stupid, or old! It's just something that one person said, it doesn't count. Just because one says it, doesn't mean it's true." Cindy Lou said smiling at the raccoon, who smiled back at her. "She's right, you're not that old, but you're still old, and freaking crazy for that matter." Sub said, a grin hidden under his scarf. Wrak growled angrily and glanced around his area. He picked up a small empty box and readied himself to throw the harmless item at the ice machine, but was stopped by Cindy Loy snatching the box out of his hand. "It's pointless you know, the box will just freeze and he can throw it back at you anyways, so you would be the one hurt, not him." Cindy Lou said before tossing the box to the side. She slowly sat down in her seat next to the raccoon, and not to far from the ice machine, and took a deep breath, her eyes closing before snapping back open again. "You okay there?" Sniffles asked. "No, I feel sleepy, but I don't know why..." She mumbled, Sniffles' eyes widen and he stood up and started to pace around the room. "You see! I told you Pollet-Wan! He isn't using gas anymore, he's using carbon monoxide!" He yelled, his eyes darting around nervously.

Suddenly, the phone rang. Sniffles quickly ran over to the small table and picked the phone up. "You catch on pretty quickly Sniffles!" The man said, his voice rather happier and cheerful. "You bastard! This is going to kill us!" He yelled through the phone, the man chuckled. "Well, I'm just using it until you pass out... I know when to stop!"He yelled, Sniffles growled before slamming the phone down angrily.

Over the course of twenty minutes, everyone became unconscious, some scattered on the floor, others sitting against the wall. The lights turned off, and footsteps could be heard from afar...

...

I take the key to the room in which the hostages were now asleep in and open the door, leaving it open to air out the toxic air that filled this room up. Looking around, I wonder who my next victim will be. There were a lot of candidates, but I could choose one. Sad isn't it? Anyways...

A certain bear caught my eye. He seems perfect! I picked him up and started for the door when I heard something fall to the ground, two things to be exact, but I really could care less about what fell. For now, I have my next victim...

...

As her eyes fluttered opened, Cindy Lou became aware of where she was again. She rubbed her eyes and finally got her sight back. She was leaning on something... But what? She looked her left. Nothing. She looked to her right, and realized she was leaning on Wrak's shoulder. She gasped and quickly moved away from the still unconscious raccoon, sighing. "Huh, I'm the only one awake..." She said looking around the room, she stood up and walked around before stepping on something. Looking down, she saw what appeared to be a small box. Picking it up, her eyes widen as she realized it was a cellphone. She looked around the room and managed to find Sniffles and Pollet-Wan. "Hey, you guys!" She said shaking the two step-siblings. "Stop... Stop that!" Pollet-Wan shrieked, the cat shoved Cindy Lou away, she stood up and crossed her arms. "What is it Cindy Lou?" She asked, the coyote smiled brightly, and was about to respond when the light from the small room lit up and showed Flippy looking around in fear and confusion. "Flip... Flippy?" Pollet-Wan said starring at the bear on the other side. "Oh god, Pollet-Wan, Cindy Lou, help me! There's a ticking noise... I don't know if it's me or not!" He yelled in fear, Cindy Lou could hear the faint twitching and nodded. "It's not you. We can hear it too!" She said reassuringly, Flippy smiled, but soon frowned again.

"What? You afraid Flippy?"The man suddenly said from the inside of the room, Flippy looked around in surprise.

"..."

"Can't respond?"

"... No."

"Well, that's okay. Actually, do you have any last words?"

"Last words, what do you-?"

Tick... Tick... Ring!

Startled, Flippy looked around looking for the source of the ringing sound. He heard a scream and looked up to see Pollet-Wan shaking in fear, and Cindy Lou with a horrified expression on her face. He was confused, why were they so scared. Pollet-Wan raised a finger and pointed towards the bear's stomach. Flippy's eyes widen as he saw what was wrong. An arrow had gone right through him, probably when the timer went off. Blood had splattered along the floor, wall and window, and his intestines spiraled around the wooden arrow. The pain started to get to him, and he coughed up blood. His vision started to blur, and he staggered back as he lost his balance. He gave a last glance at the two females before the lights in the small room turned off, and the ones in the other room turned on. "Oh god..." Pollet-Wan said in horror, Cindy Lou took in a deep breath, she looked at the phone in her hands and flipped it open. She dialed a certain cat's number and waited for him to answer. Finally, someone picked up.

"Hello?"Davis' voice rang, Cindy Lou smiled.

"D-Davis! You have to help us!"

"Cindy Lou?!"

"Yes, it's me! Please, help us! We just saw Flippy die... I don't think we'll all be alive by next week, whenever that is!"

"O... Okay! Where are you?!"

"I don't know! We're in some room, I'm not sure where we are geographically!"

"Alright, we'll trace the phone back to you and everyone else! Don't worry!"

"Okay, just please, promise me this..."

"... What?"

"Promise me you'll find us before we're all dead..."

The cat went silent, he was at a lost. It was quite for a few minutes before he sighed. "Alright."He said before hanging up. "You think they'll find us?" Pollet-Wan asked, Cindy Lou nodded. "Yea... They will..." She said reassuring the cat, who still shivered in fear from seeing one of her best friends die...

...

My eyes widen. That bitch just contacted the police! Well, not on my watch! I put on my trench coat and put a ski mask on. I also put a hat on. I pick up my shotgun and shut down everything. I exit my small secret room and lock it. I rush my way down the stairs. They're coming with me, I'm not gonna let a pathetic coyote do this to me!

She'll be punished... She'll be dealt with... She'll pay for even daring to call the police!

AND IT IS COMPLETED! Also, Cindy Lou is oblivious as to what will happen to her. Annnd, what will [censored] do now?!

Ares- *now dressed as Steve McGarrett* AWW YEA! THIS IS MUCH BETTER!
