It was late at night, Yakko had checked all the locks on the shield shaped door before going to bed,
Outside Ralph was eying everyone that came by the entrance,
To everyone else it looked like he was giving the 'Evil Eye',
Things had somewhat calmed down, security was still high though,
Lucy though was not calming down,
She would not go anywhere near the door or the windows,
Yakko, Wakko and dot, had tried to entertain her, but she would not crack a smile, a smirk, or even a raised eyebrow,
Everyone on the lot who heard about her felt sorry for her,
Even Mr. Director was unusually quiet,
Baloney the dinosaur had tried coming onto the set to cheer her up, but in an act of kindness and mercy...
Both Mr Director and Ralph kicked him several miles away,
No-one liked that foam rubber headache on legs,
Everyone seemed to be guarding Lucy well,
But no-one expected what was coming...
So no-one could stop it...
Meanwhile in ACME LABS brain was working hard on the small hair he had obtained from Lucy,
And he was frustrated,
''I just don't get it! I've ran every test on this thing and it doesn't match up to any DNA files from the government, it's a completely new one, its as if she came out of no-where!'' he ranted,
''Maybe she's an alien!'' shouted pinky from the wheel he was currently running around on,
Brain was about to snap at his cohort until he realised that pinky actually had a point,
''For once pinky I feel you may be right about something''
''Really brain?''
''Yes but I shan't be getting used to it I assume'' he said expecting his friend to say something stupid to ruin the moment.
''maybe if you look at what Rita and Runt saw you'll find out more on where she came from'' said pinky,
Brain looked at his friend, he was actually making a lot of good points, ''that's... another good point pinky'' said brain at a bit of a loss,
''Ooh we can be just like agents mulder and scully! Won't that be fun brain!?'' he exclaimed,
'And there it is' thought brain face palming.
It was late at night,
Ralph was standing guard, his eyes where bloodshot and bulging after a week of caffeine pills and coffee,
To be honest he wasn't sure if he would could blink anymore,
But while he was guarding the entrance vividly, he was not guarding the wall,
Plotz had hired extra security to patrol the area, but they couldn't be everywhere,
A man was hanging around the outside of the studio, in his pocket was what appeared to be a simple children's water pistol,
But what was in it certainly didn't look like water,
It was an ugly greenish yellow colour,
he walked across the road so he was on the pavement next to the yellow wall, he slunk round a corner and headed to the main entrance, Ralph was busy eyeing a car that was passing on another road, as soon as he turned to look at it the man slipped round to the other side of the wall and into the shadows,
Ralph flicked his head back round, he swore he could have heard something, he say something like a flicker of a shadow disappear into the shadow of the wall cast against a soundstage by the street lamp, he wanted to check but he couldn't leave his post, he radioed another guard to come take his place so he could check,
the man was slinking along the walls and staying to the shadows, he knew there was a large area that had no cover that the water tower stood in and there was no way he could get across without being seen, he swore under his breath, that girl was going to pay for putting him through this,
Ralph however had been able to leave his post and tip toeing through the alleyway; he had a torch with him and was shining it at the ground,
He rounded a corner and looked down the alley, the other end led out into the large area the water tower stood in,
He saw a mans silhouette against the entrance cast by the moonlight, nearly jumping he pointed his torch up and shone it at the man,
The man spun round and Ralph saw him,
Even though he only got a good view of his back and only a few glimpses of the side of his face, he recognized the man,
It was the man from earlier.
''Duuuhh HEY YOU'S!'' he shouted,
the man, seeing no other option, shot across the area and towards the ladder, Ralph raced after him as fast as, well as fast as a seriously overweight man can run but it was still pretty fast given the situation,
as he ran he radioed the other guards, but the man had already grabbed the ladder and started scrambling up the red rungs, Ralph ran after him and started climbing put couldn't go as fast,
The man reached the top and began banging on the door,
Inside the Warners and Lucy woke up and spun changed into they're normal attire, Wakko helped Lucy with hers, Yakko went over and looked through the peep hole,
He saw the grimy man and decided this guy was clearly not a solicitor,
He quickly glanced at the locks; seeing they were secure he stood back with a smirk, the other 3 walked up,
''Who is it?'' asked dot, ''it's not that vacuum salesman again is it?''
''If it is he must have had a reeeaally bad day'' he said, dot walked over and stretched her legs (literally) so she could see out the peep hole,
''Hey I think it's the guy from the car chase''
''Which one? Starsky or Hutch?'' asked Wakko,
''No, the guy who tried to steal Lucy''
Hearing this Lucy turned and began to flee in terror away from the door; Yakko reached over stretching his arms and picked her up bringing her back over.
''Hey relax kid, he can't do a thing, that doors pure steel'',
''It held us for 65 years'', said dot folding her arms,
outside Ralph had reached the top of the ladder and saw the man pounding on the door, he stood up and threw himself at him, and being the weight he was to Lucy's dad it felt like a half ton sack of fat,
I would say something cynical/humorous but we're rooting for Ralph here,
He sent him crashing down onto the ground hard and sat there to keep him down,
And also the catch is breath, climbing a huge ladder is not an easy thing to accomplish for a man of his stature,
Ralph radioed over guards from around the lot, then he thought he better make sure he had the right guy, he knocked on the emblem door,
''Duuuhhh hey guys, is this da right guy?''
Yakko began unlocking the door and Lucy cringed back more and more,
Wakko saw and put a hand on her shoulder,
Yakko finished unlocking the door and opened it,
They peered out,
There was the man under Ralph, in all his grimy glory,
(Cant believe I just used that phrase)
he had on his grey overcoat and his dirty green shirt, black trouser's and brown shoe's, his black hair was short, knarled and tangled,
Yakko turned to Lucy and saw her looking petrified, ''ehhhhh you know what, I think that might be him''
As cocky as he was he moved in front of the other 3 in a casual yet protective manner,
Only he can pull off looking casual AND protective,
Then Lucy's dad's got a hand free and used it to swing up and hit Ralph in a place you REALLY don't want hitting,
Ralph fell back groaning cupping his groin while Lucy's dad sprung up, the Warner trio pulled they're mallets out of hammer space as Lucy cowered in fear behind them,
Then Lucy's dad pulled out his 'water' gun,
The Warners took one look at it and began laughing hysterically, Yakko wiped a tear from his eye as he looked at it again, it was one with clear water containers to see how much water was in there,
But what was in there certainly was not water,
Yakko straightened up, he defiantly wasn't smiling anymore, that wasn't... it couldn't be...
''Wakko, Dot, get up'' he said dead serious, Wakko and dot froze in there positions comically and looked at him strangely,
Lucy looked at him too, what was happening?
Wakko and dot looked a second time at the water pistol and stood straight up, for once in there whole lives...
They were scared.
Not toon scared,
Not 'funny reaction' scared,
Straight up, proper, scared.
Ralph got back up and saw what was in the gun, he wasn't quite sure what it was but when he saw the Warners...
He knew it was BAD.
''Give me, the girl'' he said dangerously quietly through clenched teeth, manic in his eyes, ''NOW!'' he then barked so loud and so suddenly it made everyone flinch and Lucy sake worse than ever,
If you want an idea of how it looks imagine Oliver Reed's performance as 'Bill Sykes' in 'Oliver!' (1968)
Seeing that the Warners were planning on doing no such thing he advanced forwards and pushed them aside roughly, he grabbed Lucy's arm and dragged her forwards, he turned to Ralph,
''If anyone makes a move they melt like an ice cube in the Sahara! Yer hear!'' he shouted,
When he turned Wakko tried to sneak over to Lucy but he turned and saw,
Then he did a horrible thing.
He grabbed Lucy's neck an lifted her up, then dangled her by it over the edge of the railing, they were very high in the air, he pointed his 'gun' at him,
''Try it, go then, JUST F*CKING TRY IT!'' he snapped,
Ralph felt like he couldn't do a thing, if he tried he might drop Lucy or spray the Warners,
Then a spotlight shone on them all from the ground, the other security man ha taken a spotlight from a set and shone it on them, one shouted through a megaphone,
''Put the girl down and drop your weapon''
Lucy's dad had nothing to reply with so he pointed his weapon at Yakko,
''You! Get me a-a megaphone or somat now!'' he snapped,
Yakko pulled one out of his hammer space while giving him an icy stare; Wakko was staring at Lucy praying that he wouldn't drop her,
Dot was thinking of all the horrid things she would do to this man when this was over,
Lucy was choking and terrified at the same time, she didn't dare look down and see the ground several floors below her feet,
Meanwhile other characters were looking up having seen the commotion,
Pinky and the brain had been investigating the area she appeared in and ran over to see,
Rita and runt who had been in some rubbish bins on the studio lot peered out of one to see,
The goodfeathers who had been arguing on a soundstage roof had stopped to see what was happening, they had seen Lucy and decide she was an alright girl,
Slappy had been watching a news broadcast of it and was already halfway out the door with a purse full of dynamite, bombs and missiles, with her nephew Skippy carrying a crate containing more, as well as grenades, gunpowder and a bazooka,
Then Lucy's dad shouted something that had everyone shocked and made Slappy race back in to see the TV to make sure she heard right,
''DONT ANY OF YOU TRY ANYTHING OR ELSE SHE EITHER DROPS OR THEY ALL MELT! I'VE GOT 'D.I.P' HERE AND I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING WITH IT!''
Instantly everyone was scared for the Warners and the little girl,
This was bad, VERY BAD!
He spoke again,
''RIGHT I'M GOIN AND I'M TAKEN THIS LITTLE SH!T WITH ME! AND IF I SEE A POLICE CAR, A HELICOPTER, OR ANY OF YOU FOLLOWING US THE SHE GETS IT! YER HEAR!?''
he eyed the Warners and Ralph as he went to the ladder and started climbing down it, holding Lucy in one hand and gripping rungs with the other, the Warners and Ralph glared at him as he went down,
He reached the bottom and made his way to the exit keeping the weapon pointed at Lucy, she was crying silently in fear,
the police, guards and toons could do nothing as he walked to the exit, Slappy just rounded a corner with Skippy in tow as he walked out, he saw her and pointed it at her to keep her at bay,
Slappy kept Skippy behind her,
She may have been grouchy and downright mean at times, but this was friggin serious!
He glared all round with his bloodshot, hate filled eyes,
Then he took of running back the way he had came where he had a car parked, he got in shoving Lucy in the front and drove off into the night,
And no-one could stop him,
Back at the lot everyone was in an uproar,
Slappy was ranting on how many times she would blow him up before shooting him into the sun,
Pesto was aching to beat something up, but for once he was saving his anger and rage instead of releasing it on Squit,
Fact was Bobby and Squit were feeling the same,
Ralph got so mad he punched a wall...
And instantly regretted it,
Dot was scared and mad at the same time,
Yakko was staring at the ground surpressing his rage,
Wakko was worried sick, he felt for this girl, he couldn't explain it but he, more than anyone wanted to save her,
And make the man who did this pay,
Policemen and guards were radioing every other unit they knew but none had seen the man,
Pinky was bawling sending jets of water everywhere,
But brain was deep in thought, trying to think of a way to track down Lucy,
''Oh brain its awful!'' wailed pinky,
''I know'' said brain trying to remain in thought''
''How can we find her?!''
''That's what I'm trying to think of'' he said irritatedly
''It was so easy to track that bird!'' mourned pinky,
Brain admitted once he had fixed the tracker it had been relatively easy...to...
...fixed the tracker...
...the tracker...
''Pinky that's it!'' he cried, ''we can use our tracker!''
Everyone who heard instantly ran over in excitement and shouted it to those who didn't,
Then his ears drooped, ''oh no wait, we'll need some DNA for it to work''
Everyone groaned,
''Wait brain, what about that hair strand we stole from her?'' said pinky,
Brain spun round, ''that's it pinky, we can use that to find her using the device!''
''Wait a minute'' said Yakko, ''you stole a hair from her?''
''When?'' asked dot,
''Why?'' asked Wakko,
Everyone looked at the two mice,
''Well err, we were doing research on her but err, we needed a hair and err...'' stammered brain,
''We got one from her when she was sleeping!'' said pinky happily,
This got 'looks' from all round, brain looked round nervously,
''Hey err, lets go get it so we can find her shall we?''
Everyone agreed this could wait, right now they had an innocent child to find,
They all hoped they weren't too late when they did,
that was an awkward moment for brain,
oh yeah and HOLY CRAP LUCYS DADS GOT HER AGAIN AND HE'S GOT DIP!
where did he get it? how did he know the formula? will she be alright?
tune in next time! same bat time, same bat chann- wait wrong show sorry, until next time, remember to...
