A/N: Well, here it is. Chapter 11, sorry for the really long delay. But I'm pretty sure that updates will be somewhat regular from here on. Since I know I don't make really long updates, they just have to be regular don't they?

No Tip

"Diss, wake up!"

Criss tried to shake his body. He slowly moved finally opening his eyes. "Do you know what time it is?"

"Diss, this is important."

The two steadily headed downstairs to the kitchen. It was dark, but the wounded bunny was hard to notice. Their faces paled. "Criss, what is that?"

"It's Skippy." He started wrapping himself around the bunny. "Give me a hand here."

Diss slowly slithered closer and tightened his grip. Together they slowly head toward the backdoor. The early morning sky meant that no one was there to watch their every move. The two were soaking wet from the rain, but they were cold blooded. They could choose to go out to the rain any day.

"I don't get it Criss. Where are we going to move the body?"

"Shhh! Quiet. It may be early in the morning but don't forget. There are guards roaming around the place." They hid behind a house checking to make sure the coast was clear. "Good thing I know these people."

"But where are we going to bring this?"

"We can't get caught with this. They'll send me back to jail again and you might be too. We need to make sure as much as possible that we are not involved here."

"But we are, are we not?"

A thunderous roar struck. Its voice echoed around the town.

"Let's just go."

Mother Rabbit woke up and headed to the front door as she heard some knocking. She wondered who it could be. The time of day and the torrential rain, now really was not the time for a visit. "Who could be visiting at this hour?" She lit a candle before heading toward the door. The knocking suddenly stopped. She thought it was odd, but slowly, she opened the door. She screamed. It was the shock of her life.

Criss and Diss had finally reached their home. No one was in the mood for talk. First thing they did was to clean the kitchen.

"You think this will work?" Diss said. They have been cleaning for about an hour.

"Well, we could wash the blood with more soap, hopefully…"

"No, I mean this. What we just did."

Criss did not know how to answer. He did not know if what he did was right or wrong. He just did it out of instinct.

"I don't know."

"Criss, I can't believe you got me into this."

"What would you have me do? How would you react?"

"My reaction would be terrified, but I think you should have gone to the authorities than to go straight to the child's parent."

"He left a note." Criss pointed his tail to the table. Diss looked at it. The message was written in blood, but the message was clear.

"Don't forget… your place." Diss whispered.

A knock was heard from outside their front door. Criss went forward to answer the door. "Who could be up this time of night?" He opened the door and was he at the shock of his life. In front of him was none other than Robin Hood. "Sir Robin." Criss said with a bit of fright. Diss soon followed Criss from the back.

"Hello Doctor." He looks deeper into the house. He noticed the kitchen lights were open. "Have you two been up to anything?"

"No!" Criss and Diss answered simultaneously.

"Right." Robin said.

Criss noticed that Robin was a bit off. "I'd ask you the same thing. You look pretty restless."

"They woke me up in the middle of the night." His faced lowered at what he was about to say. "Criss, they found Skippy."

The rain had subsided. Criss and Diss, along with Robin and some of the guards, were once again back outside Mother Rabbit's residence. Mother Rabbit opened the door. "Good morning, doctor." She said in a rather depressing tone. "He's over here." The three followed her to Skippy's temporary room. There he lay motionless over his bed. Her mom cried and just left the room with such sorrow. Skippy was really in bad shape. Robin came near to whisper to Skippy's ear. "Hang in there, buddy. I know you're strong." Robin held his hand and then noticed that Skippy was trying to move it. "That's the spirit."

The two snakes just stood there. Criss slowly approached Robin. "I'll take it from here."

Robin just looked at Criss. He can tell Robin wanted to stay a bit longer. "Don't worry about it. You've got more important things to do anyway. Whoever did this is still out there."

Robin agreed and left the room. Diss, however, was still there. "Diss, you too." With that, he too left the room.

Hours passed when Criss finally left the room. Those waiting were Skippy's mother and Diss. Robin had left to search for whoever did this.

"You're son is going to be alright. He'll just need some rest, some meds and of course, your care. It might take a while until he fully recovers."

"Oh thank God."

"Do your children know?" Criss asked.

"They're still sleeping. I'll tell them the first thing when they wake up."

"Okay. I will be back once in a while to check on him. Do tell me when he wakes up."

"I will."

A few moments later, Criss and Diss had already left Mother Rabbit's home. Once again, they were inside Cheriff, both of them drowning there worries.

"You guys aren't usually here this time of day." Marc said.

"Rough night." Criss replied.

"Rough morning." Diss continued.

"Oh. Can I get you anything?"

"Water would be fine." Criss replied.

"Okay then." Marc left to entertain their orders.

"Listen Criss, I hope you don't mind, but I was just thinking that I need to continue my work back at the lab."

"Go ahead."

"Thanks." He said about to leave. "Take care."

Criss was now alone. He just waited there for his order, but something was going on in his head. Prince John. It seemed like it had been a while since he had escaped. "Maybe there was something more to his escape." He stood up and slithered out of the bar.

Moments later, Marc comes back with their order. "Order up." But no one was there. "Okay. Guess that means no tip."
