Dear readers, I'm back. And no I haven't given this story up or lost interest. Not that you might care since this is a relatively small community and it's no a huge fan base. But of well, I would never just give it up because I don't like unfinished works because you get those really good ones but haven't been updated in like 7 years. And I still need to update my other stories which I have ideas for but don't know how to write it together. Sorry for any grammar mistakes and this chapter might be shorter than the last two. Happy reading.

I don't own Animaniacs.

Time/Setting

Heading west, Yakko walked towards the direction in hopes of finding a town. Walking for about half and hour, Yakko finally came across a small city. A concrete sign ahead of him said 'Broken bow`. The sign was big enough to be seen clearly with a little flower bed in front of it as decoration. The flowers were wild flowers: daisy, sunflowers, and other small flowers. Walking into the town, the first thing Yakko went towards was a grocery store called 'Sasha's Food'. The store was huge and was spacious with black and white checkered title floor. Looking at the narrow aisles, with a variety of foods and type, with a small shopping cart in hand. 'I can't get anything cold because it will spoil but maybe I could store it in my hammerspace. But, I don't know how it will react with my hammerspace and if it will do anything about it. So, I'll stick with canned goods, junk foods, and maybe a case of water until I can figure a way to keep cold foods cold.' Going to the aisles with the items, he grabbed a couple of cans of beans, tuna, corn, green beans, and ham. In the next aisle, he grabbed a few boxes of peanut butter crackers, chips, the water, and a jar of nuts. Returning quickly to get some plastic plates and forks before he left. Deciding that he had everything, Yakko walked to the check out counter and placed the items on the conveyor belt. Looking at the goodies on the shelf, he grabbed a few bars of chocolate as a treat for Wakko and Dot.

"Hey, you total is $50.23. Cash or credit?", the cashier asked looking bored.

"Cash.", answered Yakko as he pulled out the cash. He pulled the little sack of money Hazel had given to him and pulled out $51 onto his hand. He handed the cashier $51 and, he received his change before pushing the basket out of the store. Putting the cart in a shop cart holder; he gathered the grocery and started to head in the direction he came from. After walking for 30 minutes, he came to the cave that would temporarily house them and walked inside. He was greeted with the sight of Wakko and Dot huddled together on the blankets. Sleeping. Going towards them and unloaded the food from the bags; he gently shook them awake. "Yakko, what is it? Did you get the food?", Wakko asked.

"Yeah.", Yakko replied. "But don't expect anything fancy now. I can't cook anything or get anything cold so, your going to be stuck with junk food and canned food." Though to you, it's probably what you would've wanted eat. Junk food. "Anyway if you and Dot eat all of your food, I give y'all a treat to eat.", Yakko said.

"Dot, Hungry!", Dot interrupted. She had the 'feed me now or I will cry right now and you won't like it' look. Her little hands clinched into a fist, almost like they were ready to flail, and her stomach growled out its agreement .

"Okay, Dot. Let's see, I'll open a can of beans for you to eat. Can babies even have bean? It should be fine because it doesn't have any flavors or complicated cooking style. I'll just smash it up to make it easier for her to eat and probably give the other half of the can to Wakko.", Yakko said out loud. Taking two plastic plates and scooping half of the beans onto each plate, smashing the beans on one plate, before handing the plates to Wakko and Dot. Wakko grabbed both of the plate, placing Dot's smashed beans in front of her, and held his plate and began to eat the beans. Dot picked up the beans and chewed on the before swallowing and repeating. Yakko opened another can and poured some beans onto his plate before eating them. After they were done, Yakko took the trash and placed it on the other side of the cave. "Okay sibs, here's the plan. We are going to camp out here for a few days so, we get off Katz radar and off of any police radar. After its, been a few days we while move someplace else.", Yakko explained the plan.

"But Yakko, why don't we stay here?", Wakko asked.

At Wakko's question, Yakko began to think about it. 'He has a point. Who is going to go looking for a couple of most likely wanted kids in the middle of the woods in a dark cave surrounded by nature. And I could camouflage the mouth of the cave to look like a bunch of bushes because the cave is surrounded by some trees. I can't make a fire in the cold winter months because it would attract the attention of the forest rangers or the locals but maybe I could get one of those portable space heaters. Yeah. And a camping or survival kit that has one of those things that can cook meals. Maybe get a couple of sleeping bags and pillow. Yes, this could work. Maybe even an air mattress, though it would have to be a queen size. Do they even make king size? Later. We would be able to get off the radar for months and I wouldn't have to look over our collective shoulders every time someone gets to close or we do something that could warrant unnecessary attention.' "You know Wak, that's a great idea and we wouldn't have to worry about Katz or the police.", Yakko praised Wakko. Wakko preened at Yakko complimented. "I will start by moving a few bush in front of the cave and tomorrow, I'll go into town and get some camping equipment. It shouldn't rasie any eyebrows since the weather is nice. Now stay here while I go out. Oh and here you go, make sure to give some to Dot in small pieces so, she doesn't choke on it.", Yakko explained and gave Wakko a chocolate bar.

Wakko looked down at his chocolate and split off a couple of squares to make it easier for Dot to eat. And looked and asked, "Why would we need to hide from the police Yakko? Did we do something bad?"

Yakko sighed, and looked down to Wakko and answered, "It's because, sib, we took Dot away from a house in the middle of the night. They don't know that Dot is our sister. They will most likely think it's a break gone wrong since they will think that Dot was their child and that we kidnapped her for a ransom or some other twisted reason. Now understand, it's not the polices fault. They don't have all of the facts. And because of that they will be looking for us since they want to find Dot and give her back to the couple that most likely bought her from Katz. And when they do find us, they will arrest me for "kidnapping" Dot and separate you from me and place you in another orphanage. You get it?" Wakko nodded.

"But", Wakko asks innocently, "why would them take me from you?"

"It's because Wak, they will see me as unfit to take care of you because I'm a child in the eyes of the law and becuase i broke a law and therefore can't be trusted in raising a child, let alone a toddler.", Yakko explained.

"B-But I don't want to be separate and your no bad. And if you did do something bad it was to keep us together and they can't take you away becuase of it!", Wakko shouted.

"I know Wak. That's why we are going to go into finding for a couple of months so, that they will forget about us. Now I'm going to head out. You stay here and watch Dot.", Yakko said.

After Yakko explained why they would be in hiding, Wakko went closer to Dot and got close to her like he was going to protect her from the police until Yakko gets back.

Yakko nodded once and walked out of the cave, he went a little deeper into the forest and dug up four good sized bushes. Dragging the bushes back to the cave, he dug four holes and replanted the bushes in front of the opening. Looking at the front to see if anything stood out or didn't look right. He patted down the dirt around the bushes firmly and took a few leaves from the bushes and scattered them around the bushes to give it a natural look. Pleased with his work, Yakko saw that the sun was almost down and crawled through the bushes and curled up with his siblings. Hugging them close before drifting off to sleep on top of the blankets.

Police station a few hours earlier

"Alright people, listen up. Last night, Officer Steve and Officer David went to check a house whom alarms was set off and discovered that the couple, that owned the house that was broken into, the baby was taken during the break in. Officer Steve was able to get a basic description of the perp during which the kidnapper had escape through the backyard over the fence. Officer Steve tell them what you wrote in your report.", a tall female badger debrief.

Steve took his place behind the podem and began to explain what he remembered about the kidnapper. "Ah, Yes ma'am, the perp was a male and had black fur, except for his white feet, and was wearing long brown pants with a belt and blue shirt. No shoes. And he was pretty tall, and seemed to be around the 12 or 13. But the odd thing was that I couldn't tell what type of animal he is. He didn't look like any animal I've seen before and he jumped over a 6ft fence. Which makes me think a kangaroo but he didn't have the shape for it.", Steve recalled.

"What do you mean that you couldn't tell what animal he was?", Chef asked in front of the other offficers. She looked mad that he couldn't give more details to the perp, but understood that it would be hard to get a good look at the perp in the dead of the night with his black fur.

"Well chief,", Steve started out, "his ears didn't have a distinct shape like a cat's triangular ears, a deer's oval shaped ears, a bunny's thin oval ears that stood straight, or some dog's floppy ears. His ears her like a bunny's but more rounded and were crook at the middle. His face was kinda flat but had fur that reached out to the sides, like a cat, and was rounded towards the top. He was built like a toon human but not to close. He didn't have thin fingers and no human toes or connected joints like ankles and wrist. I'm sure he was a wrist and ankles but they don't seem to be a very clear like a human. And his tail was like a cat but thinker and was crooked at the end. But I think it can be stretched out."

The chief looked confused, as did the rest of the officers and said, "I can tell now, why you would be having a hard time telling what species he was. He sound like he could be any animal and we don't want to make a mistake when we arrest the guy."

"Um, chief, I don't know if we should arrest the guy.", Steve said while looking uncomfortable. The other officers looked at him like he had lost his mind. The chief gave him a questioning look. "It is because chief, when we called the couple that didn't react worried just acceptance and told us to get the baby back before he hung up on us. It didn't seem like he cared about her or something. And I've seen a photo of the kid. She's cute but she doesn't look like the couple. In fact, she kinda sounded like she looks likes the perp that took her. Maybe she's the perp daughter or sibling that got separate." His partner piped up his agreements as to support Steve in his reasonings to the call.

Chief was silent for a minute before announcing, "Regardless, we still need to arrest the guy and if they are siblings. We will just have to go to a judge to see what he says. And it's not any of our business what the couple does with the girl." She walked off after she finished. Steve watched her back as she walked off. 'Chief, I think something more is going on here. Much more that we realized and I'm going to find out.' Steve turned and walked off into the opposite direction.

In the Katz's lair

"I'm most certainly sure that I ordered you to guard Yakko. Not to gloat or give him a reason to escape but, you did both and what happened? He escaped and from other reports; he was able to get his brother back. I am most certainly displeased with this. You know why? I could have used him as anything: trained him to be my assassin, bodyguard, slave, drug dealer, or anything else I wish him to be but, I can't since you let him escape. I'm sorry to say that you are no longer useful anymore. Good-bye.", Katz snapped his slim fingers.

"N-No, please g-g-give me an-other ch-chance. I promi-se I can do better. Please. I w-won't fail y-you. Please. I'm b-begging you. No. No! Ahhhh!", the wolf that had guard Yakko gave a final scream before being eaten by one of Katz's spiders. The spider was the size of a Great Dane, it fangs sinking into the flesh of the wolf. Pulling his dead body until it's mouth where the sounds of bones breaking after each bite. Katz had reached a slim paw over and started to pet the spider, all the while he praise the creature for devouring an insect that needed to be killed.

"Don't worry my pet. You'll get more food soon. Very soon. It might not be those children that were sold to us. But it while be the people that help those children, and they shouldn't have because after all they belong to us since they were sold and bought by us. Except for the girl but she can easily be bought back.", Katz whispered to the spider.
