THE EVIL PLAN BY THE COACHMAN

Meanwhile, at a foggy area where the tavern was marked "Red Lobster Inn", a familiar voice was heard singing inside.

Foulfellow singing, "Hi diddle dee dee, An actor's life for me, A high silk hat and a silver cane, A watch of gold and a diamond chain..."

Inside, while Gideon was smoking a cigar with John, the fox held his beer mug with cigar while a figure smoking a pipe looked at him. He was a white haired old man with green eyes wearing a purple hat, purple scarf, brown gloves, a red coat, and brown boots. He was known as the Coachman.

Foulfellow singing, "Hi diddle dee day, An actor's life is gay, It's great to be a celebrity, An actor's life for me!"

The fox laughed a bit before looking at the man. As he spoke next, Gideon smoked his cigar, blowing a ring before taking it like a donut, dunking it in his beer and eating it.

Foulfellow said, "And the dummy fell for it. Ha-ha-ha! Hook, line, and sinker! Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

The cat began to hiccup a bit with smoke coming out of himself. The old man glanced at him with a smirk.

Foulfellow said, "And he still thinks we're his friends. Ha-ha-ha-ha! And did Stromboli pay."

He pulled out a small sack of coins, showing it to the coachman.

Foulfellow smiled, "Plenty."

He placed it on the ground with delight while the coachman glanced, then smirked toward the fox.

Foulfellow said, "Ha-ha-ha-ha. That shows you how low Honest John will stoop...Eh, Giddy?"

The cat drinking the mug started nodding before hiccupping while the beer splashed on himself.

Foulfellow said, "Now, coachman..."

He took a huge whiff of his cigar before blowing it.

Foulfellow smirked, "What's your proposition?"

The fox removed some of the ash that was smoked off of it.

Coachman speaks Cockney accent, asked, "Well..."

He puffed his pipe a little before looking at the two, taking out a big sack.

Coachman smiled, "How would you blokes like to make some REAL money?"

He then dropped it to the table, showing a big amount of coins, making the fox look delighted.

Foulfellow grins, said, "Well! And who do we have to..."

He made a slit motion.

Coachman disgusted and said, "No, no. Nothing like that. You see..."

The Coachman stops and looks back to make sure that no one's watching, as did Foulfellow and Gideon in concern. He then leaned toward the fox.

Coachman somewhat whispers, answered, "I'm collecting stupid little boys."

Foulfellow asked, "Stupid little boys?"

Coachman said, "You know, the disobedient ones who want to play hooky from school."

Foulfellow realizes and said, "Oh."

Coachman said, "And you see..."

He began whispering to the fox's ear a bit while Gideon tried to listen.

Foulfellow said, "Yes."

However, Gideon frowned when looking inside the ear, then put his finger on the other fox ear, and finally leaned to it with finger closing the other cat ear. He finally listened, then nodded a bit while stupidly smiling.

Coachman removes himself, wicked smiled, "And I takes 'em to Pleasure Island."

"Ah. Pleasure Island." Foulfellow nods and asked, horrified, "PLEASURE ISLAND?!"

He looked shocked with horror, unknowingly pushing Gideon down.

Foulfellow gulps, scared and said, "But the law! Suppose they..."

Coachman shook his head, answered, "No, no. There's no risk."

He started grinning before speaking cruelly.

Coachman gently, said, "They never come back..."

He began making a scary face with a devilish look with face red.

Coachman shouted, "...as BOYS!"

He laughed wickedly while the two animals desperately clinged to one another. Gideon ducked down a bit in fear while both sweated. The two leaned to the wall before being pulled by him.

"Wait. Hang on." Coachman said, sniffed his nose, "Honest John, you smell that?"

Foulfellow sniffed his nose, said, "No, why?"

"I smell the dog came from the town. He's dancing around the town to school." Coachman said.

"Oh." Foulfellow said.

Coachman whispered, "Now...I've got a coach load leaving at midnight. We'll meet at the crossroads...and no double-crossing!"

Foulfellow shivers, said, "No, sir."

Coachman said, "Scout around...and any good prospects you find, bring 'em to me."

Foulfellow nods, said, "Yes, chief."

Coachman said, "I'll pay you well. I got plenty of gold."

Foulfellow said, "Yes, yes. But, uh, what about the dog?"

Coachman said, "He will come tonight. The dog is not going to be a double crossing!"

Foulfellow shivers, said, "No, sir."

Coachman said, "Good. I'll find out with the dog to me at Pleasure Island too. It will be simple."

Foulfellow said, "Yes, yes."
