okay this chapter might be kinda short but i made this as intense as i could considering the characters, ther personalitys and the situation at hand,

also i didnt put much about the horrible treating of lucy cos i dont like writing it, so i'll let your imaginations take over, because i sure as hell wont let mine.

in an alleyway, quite a few miles away from the studio, a car with a smashed side window shot along up, it had shot through back alleys and rarely used streets in a planned before hand route, finally, it stopped in a dead end 'L' shaped alleyway, out of sight from the rest of the street,

The door banged open and a grubby grimy man climbed out, if it wasn't for the fact he had in tact clothes he would have looked like a tramp,

He stormed round to the other side of the car and threw open the other door,

there, as far away room it as she could get, was a small toon girl, she was too scared to even cry and was shaking with fear, she wore violet turtle neck and purple skirt, had black hair in a loose ponytail tied with a violet shred of fabric,

He bent down and gave her a glare, ''get over here'' he forced through clenched teeth, ''NOW!'' he shouted so suddenly and so fierce that she flinched hard,

Lucy was too scared too move, so he leaned in and grabbed her arm, he dragged her out of the car and leaving the car he carried her roughly by her arm and over to an old weather beaten building,

It had no windows, only planks of wood boarding up the frames,

He kicked open the door and slammed it behind him,

he stormed along the short corridor and opened another door, then he lifted Lucy high into the air and threw her hard against the opposite wall, she was flattened against it for a second before popping back into shape and falling to the ground, she began to tear up,

It had hurt,

Her father grinned a yellow, evil smile,

''Daddy's home'' he said.

At acme labs pinky and the brain were just arriving back followed by a crowd of people, they had rushed part of the way,

Then Yakko picked them up and carried them there when they realised there little legs couldn't really match the speed of normal sized ones,

they burst in and he put them on a counter, they ran along tables and draws until the reached a box thing with an antenna and a radar screen on the front, brain opened a hatch on the side and began fishing around inside,

''Pinky, you go retrieve the hair!'' shouted brain,

''Alright brain, err, where did you leave it?''

''On the microscope''

Pinky walked over, then called back, ''its not there''

''Is it next to it?'' I might have fallen off''

''Err...nope its not there''

''Err maybe I had it in the computer''

''Are you sure brain, I'm sure I though I last saw it in-''

''WILL YOU HURRY UP!'' shouted Wakko making everyone jump,

Pinky darted around on the desks and counters until they heard him shout ''BINGO!'' and watched him dart back with a black hair,

Brain pulled his arm out of the hatch and with it he brought out a feather, same one from when they were tracking the bird,

He grabbed the hair and stuffed it in the machine before flicking it on,

The machine lit up and its radar began flashing, brain looked at the screen

''Where is she?'' he muttered to himself, ''THERE!'' he cried, ''I've got a track on her!''

Yakko grabbed them and the machine and they darted outside, ''which way captain?''

''North!''

As soon as he said it they shot of in the direction they had been told,

They were going to save Lucy, DIP or no DIP.

Lucy sat curled up in the corner trying to make her invisible,

Her eye was black and her lip was bleeding,

She had spent the past half an hour with her dad and was feeling like a bloodhounds chew toy,

Her dad was pacing around, what could he do? he knew they couldn't stay here, those toons would be after them, after him, there was no way he was letting her get away from him again, she had caused him a great pain, and she was going to pay for the rest of her life,

She looked solely at the floor and no-where else, not wanting to make eye contact,

''Where to go, and how to get there'' he muttered to himself, the car was nearly out of petrol and he couldn't just go walking with her out in broad daylight,

He was brought out of this by a small whimper from Lucy who had just ran he hand over a sore spot on her arm,

''SHUT UP!'' he barked causing her to shrink back even more, he glared at her for a few moments considering weather another beating was in order but decided he had more pressing matters at hand, those toons could be out there right now getting nearer, he reached into his pocket and felt the water pistol, he grinned, he knew something about it they didn't,

What they didn't know would not hurt them,

But he would.

Outside across the street a large group of toons and security guards led by Ralph came to a stop, they were led by brain, being held by Yakko, who was pointing out directions from his tracking device,

''According to this reading she should be in there'' he said,

''You heard him sibs!'' declared Yakko,

He dropped P&B and got ready with his sibs, they were about to zoom in when...

''Wait!'' they froze and turned to see who had shouted out,

It was Rita, her fur stood on end and her back was arched, her natural instincts were telling her that she was not alone in that building,

''I can sense him, and I can sense her fear'' she said with her eyes narrow and suppressing a hiss, her claws were out and were aching to be dug straight into that mans flesh,

''What about you runt, what can you sense?'' asked dot,

''Duuhh I sense there's a woman in there in the shower'' he said pointing at the building they were next to,

''He means over there genius'' said Rita exasperatedly pointing over to the building,

He turned and sniffed the air, then went shock eyed for a minute before leaning forward intermittingly and growling,

''I smell him'' he said,

''Do you smell anything else?'' asked pinky,

He sniffed again, ''oh yeah, is that lavender?''

''Oh that's my new perfume'' said dot,

''Wait I can smell something else'' he said, then his eyes narrowed, ''blood''

Everyone looked at the building, then the Warners pulled out there biggest mallets and prepared to shoot across the road,

''Wait a minute yer yutz's'' snapped Slappy, ''if you go rushin in there he'll squirt yer wi' that DIP and we'll be suckin up your remains with a turkey baister''

the Warners dropped there mallets as they realised this was true,

''duuhhh what if i's go's in there?'' said Ralph,

''he could just spray Lucy'' said Skippy,

''duuhhh oh yeah's''

''what do you think Wakko?'' asked Yakko, he looked and saw he was talking to thin air, he looked around and saw him across the road in a little ally next to the building Lucy was in,

quickly he ran over and so did dot when she saw, the others were arguing about what to do, when they got near they saw he was by an air vent,

''I found a way in!'' he said,

''I don't know Wakko, this is pretty serious'' said Yakko,

''yeah and the whole vent thing is a bit cliché'' said dot,

''I don't care! we might already be too late'' snapped Wakko and he grabbed the vent and began trying to pull it off he put his feet on it to try and open it,

this continued for 5 seconds until Yakko simply reached out and swung it open with Wakko still clinging to it trying to open it, his eyes were clenched shut as he strained to open it, Yakko tapped his shoulder, when he saw where he was he climbed down and gave a sheepish grin,

''middle kid syndrome'' said dot,

Slappy however suddenly noticed they were down by 3 and looked round until she saw them across the road.

''hey! yer morons what are yer doin over there!'' she said storming over, the rest followed seeing this,

''we found a way in''

''yeah right into trouble'' said Rita,

inside Lucy was still curled up, trying not to make a sound, her dad had started drinking his beers to 'help him think',

'can't go outside, cant drive, cant stay here', he thought to himself, he was getting more and more frustrated,

up above in an air vent tip toeing on the hands and feet the Warners were making there way inside,

''hey listen'' whispered Wakko raising an ear, they could hear her father muttering along one vent, they tip toed after it and came to a grate in the floor,

outside the others were by the door and ready to burst in if they heard things start to go wrong,

the Warners crept over to the vent and peered in,

they saw the man storming around looking more and more frustrated,

''where's Lucy?'' whispered Wakko looking round, then dot nudged him,

''over there'' she whispered pointing at the corner, they looked and saw her form curled up in the corner and shivering, they couldn't see her face,

''damnit!'' snapped her father suddenly grabbing there attentions, ''damnit damnit DAMNIT!'' he shouted and on the last one flipped the table over, it landed near Lucy and made her jump up in fear, showing her face,

and that's when the Warners saw her black eye and bloody lip,

''Lucy'' whispered Wakko in horror pressing against the grate,

''boy this guy has some anger management issues'' said Yakko,

''he makes Gary Busey look sane'' said dot, ''at least he was funny crazy not scary crazy''

then her father took notice that Lucy had stood up,

''GET DOWN!'' he shouted and threw his beer bottle at her, it hit her arm and smashed against the wall,

Wakko pressed even harder against the vent,

too hard,

it gave way and sent the middle Warner toppling into the room,

he hit the ground and bounced (literally) onto his feet; her father spun round and saw him,

''OH SH!T!'' he shouted and fumbled for his pistol,

Wakko went to jump him but he already got it out and pointed it at him, Yakko and dot jumped out and stood by him,

''DONT ANY YOU MOVE!'' he shouted, and pointed it at Lucy, ''OR SHE GETS IT!''

outside the others heard this and decided now was probably a good time to either run away or lend a hand/paw

luckily they opted for the second one,

they burst in and through the other door,

lucks father jumped and accidently pulled the trigger,

a stream of dark green liquid flew from the end,

and straight at Lucy,

DUN DUN DUUUUN! will she be safe? will she be saved? stay tuned,

and dont forget

REVIEW!
