104R 40: The Wrong Woman?
Linda and her daughters rode down the countryside of Suffolk in Cruella's car, with the London police squad, a white animal control truck, and Jerry and Isabella and Charlie and their parents following them from behind.
London
The vehicles soon arrived back in London, with Linda leading the way in Cruella's car. The black and white Panther Deville pulled up beside the police station, where the media was waiting with cameras and microphones, wanting to get a statement from the Mayor about the missing Keegan and Copper incident.
An officer got out of his police car, opened the back door, and helped a handcuffed Candace out of the vehicle and closed the door.
Inside Jerry's car, the former firefighter looked at his son, Keegan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, looking out the window, with tears running down his face.
The right door of the Panther Deville opened up and out stepped Linda, along with her two daughters, Adriana and Donna, who stepped out of the back.
An officer brought a handcuffed Candace over to where Linda and her daughters were.
"What's the matter, everyone?! Haven't you ever seen a kid/dognapper before?!" Linda shouted, refering to Candace. The mayor and the officer led Candace through the mob of media people and headed towards the entrance of the police station. "Come on. Get her into the station. Into the station."
##################################################################################
Inside the police station, Keegan sat in a chair in an office, covered with a gray blanket, along with Isabella and Charlie, who had Waddlesworth, Chomp, Digger, Drooler, Gerogette, Dottie and Dipstick with them.
Keegan then looked out a window and saw Donna and Adriana speaking with Jerry. Well, actually, it was just Donna who was doing all the talking. Adriana just stood by her sister's side.
A saddened and remorseful Adriana then looked at Keegan through the window, who was inside the office.
"Keegan, your Dad didn't mean for this to happen." Said Isabella.
##################################################################################
Meanwhile, two officers lead a handcuffed Candace into an office, with Linda leading the way. She lead them over to a cell and one of the officers used his keys to unlock and open it while the other officer removed the handcuffs from Candace's wrists and lead her inside her cell. The first officer closed the cell door and locked it.
"Thank you officers. That will all for now." Said Linda.
"Yes, mayor Lewis." Said the first officer in a british accent before leaving out of the room with the other officer and closing the door behind them.
Once the officers were gone, Linda turnned to face Candace. "She's a beauty, isn't she? Or he? It? Whatever it is."
##################################################################################
Stella and Thomas and Evana and Frank entered inside the office where their kids, Isabella and Charlie were.
"Izzy..." Said Thomas as he and Stella walked over to where Izzy was. "We need you to wait here with Keegan and Charlie, okay?"
"And Charlie, we need you to wait here with them, okay?" Said Evana.
"What's gonna happen to miss Davis and Copper?" Isabella asked.
"Yeah, and what about the other four pups? What's gonna happen to them?" Charlie asked.
"We don't know, but we're going to go find out, okay? We just need you to stay here." Said Stella.
"Will you stay here for us?" Frank asked Charlie.
"Okay." Said Isabella and Charlie in unison.
"Thank you, sweetie." Said Thomas to Isabella.
"Thanks, Charlie." Said Evana before she, Frank and Thomas left out of the office, leaving Stella behind.
"You guys, we'll fix this." Said Stella. "I promise." She said before leaving out of the room and closing the door behind her.
##################################################################################
"Okay, then. Now you've caught Copper. What do you plan to do with him?" Candace asked.
"You mean what am i going to do with 'IT?'" Linda asked.
"Yeah." Candace asked.
"I know exactly what i'm going to do with it." Said Linda.
"You don't have a clue, do you?" Candace asked.
"Oh, don't you worry about that, i know exactly what i'm going to do with that liver-spotted firefighting mutt. You should be more concerned about what's going to happen to you." Said Linda.
"What are you talking about? What's gonna happen to me?" Candace asked.
"What's going to happen to you? Look at where you are, darling. Doesn't this place remind you of anything?" Linda asked.
"No...it doesn't." Said Candace.
"Come on, i know it does. I'm sure it does." Said Linda.
"Sorry. Riddles aren't really my thing." Said Candace.
"Alright, fine. Here's another hent." Said Linda. The british mayor walked over to a desk that a push-broom was lying up against. She grabbed the handle of the broom and let it fall to the floor with a loud 'CLANK.' "There. Does it look familier yet?"
"No." Said Candace.
"I'm not suprised. You Canadians aren't exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer." Said Linda.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Candace asked.
"It's means you're not too bright...about what's going on...and what's going to happen to you." Said Linda.
"What do you mean? What's gonna happen to me? What are you talking about?" Candace asked.
"I'm talking about you going to prison." Said Linda.
"Prison? For what? I didn't do anything." Said Candace.
"Yeah...Right...Uh...i don't think that statement is going to hold up in court, darling." Said Linda.
"Court?" Said Candace.
"Yeah, that's right. When you committe a crime, you have your day in court. It's called a trial." Said Linda.
"A trial. For what? What are you talking about?" Candace asked.
"I am 'NOT' the woman who's man you try to steal." Said Linda.
"What are you talking about? I'm not trying to steal Jerry from you!" Said Candace.
"You're right. Not after today, no, you are finished. You are going to prison for what you've done." Said Linda.
"Prison? For what? What did i do?" Candace asked.
"You shouldn't have stolen all of the Dalmatian puppies from London, Can. Gone and stole four of them from Kansas in the U.S. even. Not to mention the fact that you kidnapped Keegan and held him hostage at your cabin in Suffolk. But i'm sure it will mean a lot to Jerry that you did it for him." Said Linda.
"So that's what this whole thing is about: getting me out of the way so you can have Jerry for yourself." Said Candace.
"Not even close. No, this is about something much, much bigger." Said Linda.
"Like what?" Candace asked.
"To answer that question, we have to go back to (1996) and (2000). And your dead sister." Said Linda.
"You mean the 101/102 Dalmatians incidents and Karen? What about them?" Candace asked.
"Do you know what it was like for me living in this city...surrounded by the two incidents? All i ever heard was Cruella's this, Cruella's that and Cruella, Cruella, Cruella. She was always just so 'SPECIAL' in the eyes of the media and the authorities when it came to the Dalmatians incidents! It was the main reason i moved away to Canada. To escape the Cruella/Dalmatians fiasco! That was where i met Jerry and Keegan. And he and i got married. However, i soon found myself in the same situation i was in earlier before i left London." Said Linda.
"Linda, why are you doing this to me? Why?" Candace asked.
"As i said before, living here in London, and having to hear about Cruella and two of the Dalmatians incidents was unbarable. It was the same way with your dead sister, Karen. All i ever heard from Jerry was Karen this, Karen that, and Karen, Karen, KAREN! Your sister was always so popular. It was no different from the Cruella situation. They were both always so 'SPECIAL' and 'POPULAR.' Well, now i'm the special/popular one. Because the whole city of London will know how 'YOU' stole their Dalmatian puppy population. How 'YOU' stole four Dalmatian puppies from the U.S. in Kansas. How 'YOU' kidnapped Keegan and held him hostage. And that 'I' was the hero who brought you to justice." Said Linda.
"You're insane" Said Candace.
"No. No, 'CRUELLA' was the insane one. 'I', on the other hand, am the hero who is going to bring you to justice." Said Linda.
"Well, your plan won't work because Keegan knows what really happened up in Suffolk and it doesn't match what you're saying. Not to mention the fact that his dog doesn't even have rabies." Said Candace.
"Yeah, i guess you're right. Keegan could tell the judge what really went down between the two of you in Suffolk. And you're right, his dog doesn't have rabies. But that's nothing a little coaching and rabid DNA injection won't fix." Said Linda.
"Ugh, you are a heartless person!" Said Candace.
"That's right. I've got this whole thing planned out from beginning to end. Keegan's dog will be destroyed, Keegan is reunited with his father, you'll be going to jail and those four Kansas Dalmatian puppies will be reunited with their owners. I called them yesterday. With any luck, they're on their way here to pick them up right now." Said Linda.
"Wow. You do have this all figured out." Candace said.
"Yes. Yes, i do." Said Linda.
"Too bad it's all for nothing. Because when it comes time for the trial, the first thing the judge is gonna ask for is evidence. Which you don't have." Said Candace.
"That's where you're wrong, Can. For i do have evidence." Said Linda.
"Oh yeah, like what?" Said Candace.
"Like this." Said Linda. The british mayor reached into her suit pocket and got out a piece of folded up paper, unfolded it, and showed it to Candace. "Ta-da."
"What's that?" Candace asked.
"What, you don't recognize it? This is evidence. A list of addresses of all of the houses, and other places in London, that have had Dalmatian puppies stolen. The one that you so 'cleverly typed up' and had stashed away in your pants pockets. Guess you won't be needing this anymore. Let me see what else we got." Said Linda. She then reached into her pocket again and got out a red ticket. "Oh, looky here, a plane ticket to Brazil. Won't need this. You know...if i didn't know any better...i'd say you were planning on leaving the country with Keegan. Naughty little girl. That's kidnapping, which carries a life sentence."
"Ugh! You wicked witch!" Said Candace.
"No, Candace, that would be you. You did it, you did it all. You stole this city's entire Dalmatian puppy population. You stole four Dalmatian puppies in the U.S. from the state of Kansas. And you kidnapped your own nephew. Living in total isolation for seven long years, the pressure of seeing your sister's husband with another woman, the discovery that Karen had been dead for six years and how Jerry and Keegan lied about it? You have finally just snapped. You're a danger to society. And i'm gonna make sure that the public knows it." Said Linda.
"Jerry won't be fooled!" Said Candace.
"My husband will never know." Said Linda.
"Yes he will. He'll see who you really are and then he'll come running to my rescue." Said Candace.
"Oh, yeah? Tell that to Kevin Shepered. Cruella framed him for the 102 Dalmatians incident in (2000), and nobody proved he was innocent for...You know, coming to think of it, nobody did prove that he was innocent. He had to prove it all by himself, with nobody there to help him. Not even probation officer, Chloe Simon, believed he was innocent until it was too late. He had to break himself out of a jail cell, the very same cell that you're in right now, in order to help Chloe and clear his name. The only difference is that you 'ARE' all on your own. Kevin had his dogs and Parrot with him. You don't have anyone. I mean, for pete sake, i had to frame you as the kid/Dognapper so i could stay true to The Texas 104 Dalmatians incident. It's sick, right. Well, sick...is the new sane. So you do have to go down for this one, Can. Those are the rules. You do the crime, you do the time. And let's face it, your time in Jerry's and Keegan's lives...is way past over." Said Linda.
"Oh, my good...that's why you're doing this. You're rewritting history." Said Candace.
"No. 'YOU'RE' rewritting history. I, on the other hand, am changing history...for the better." Said Linda.
The door to the office then opened, revealing a male officer standing on the other side. "Mayor Lewis?"
"Yes, officer?" Linda asked, turnning to the officer.
"They're ready to see you now." Said the officer.
"Be right there, darling. Just let me finish up here." Said Linda.
"Okay." Said the british officer.
"Oh, and send someone in here to retrieve miss Davis for me, will you? I want her to be present when i give my speech." Said Linda.
"Sure thing." Said the officer before closing the door behind him.
Linda turnned back to face Candace. "And the public...awaits." She said before head out of the officer and closing the door behind her, leaving Candace behind.

Outside the police department, a taxi drove up beside the sidewalk and Bo got out of the front passenger seat while Rex, Jason and Molly got out of the back. After arriving in London, the trio had decided to take a cab to the police station.
Bo got his wallet out and got out some money to pay the cab driver. "Thanks for the lift, sir." He said before paying the driver. The taxi then drove off and Bo, Rex, Jason and Molly turnned to the police station, which was surrounded by cops, press and media. "Well...here we are."
"Are you sure we have the right address?" Rex asked.
"I'm possetive. The officer who called me said that the lady who called him said for us to meet her here at the London police station." Said Bo.
"Does you think the puppies are in there?" Jason asked.
"There's one way to find out. Come on, let's go..." Before Rex could finish his sentence, Molly took off towards the police station, leaving them behind.
"Molly, wait!" Said Jason before chasing after the female Dalmatian, follow by Bo and Rex.
##################################################################################
Meanwhile, in another room, the pound officer, who was at the 2nd Chance Dog Shelter yesterday, was teaching Copper, who was locked in a cage all by himself, some new tricks while the Miller pups were in another cage together. Jerry, Adriana and Donna and Isabella's and Charlie's parents were also present in the room.
"Copper. Sit. Sit. Sit." Said the officer.
Copper did as he was told and sat down in his cage.
"Yeah, shake." Said the officer.
Copper shook himself off.
"Check this out, i taught him a couple of new ones." Said the officer. "Hey, Copper. Copper, Copper. Fire."
Copper then growled, bearing his sharp teeth.
Yeah. Yeah, good dog. Alright, now give me a good guy. Copper." Said the officer.
Copper smiled at the officer.
"(Laughing) You see, he's smart. And if you treat him nice, he's really gental. I mean will you look...Look at that face." Said the officer.
"So?" Said Donna.
"Gorgeous." Said Adriana.
"Hey, who's side are you on?" Donna asked.
"I hate having to turn him over to the pound." Said the officer.
"And what will happen with these other four dogs that you've captured?" Asked Jerry, refering to the Miller puppies.
"Well, if nobody shows up and claims them within the next 15 minutes or so, they'll be turnned over to the pound too." Said the officer.
As if on cue, the door was opened by a male officer, standing outside, an adult Dalmatian, a 12 year old boy with light brown hair and brown eyes, a 32 year old man and a fat man entered into the room.
"Are we too late? Where are the puppies?" The boy asked.
"Who are you?" The officer asked.
"Officer, my name is comissioner Bo Coleman. I'm work at the Paris, Texas police department in the U.S. This is Rex Bryson, he's a good friend of mine." Said the fat man.
"Hi." Said the 32 year old guy known as Rex.
"And this is his son, Jason." Said Bo.
"Hi, nice to meet you." Said Jason.
"And this is Jason's dog Molly." Said Bo.
Molly barked.
"His son and his Mom are the owners of the four missing puppies that were reported missing two weeks ago. I got a call from one of my officers back home in Paris, Texas, saying that some woman named Linda Lewis, who is the mayor of London, called him and reported seeing the puppies over here. And she told us to meet with her here at the police station in order to get the pups back. Are they here, by any chance?" Bo said.
Barking was then heard coming from behind and Jason and the others turnned and saw the Miller pups locked in a cage a foot away from a seven week old liver-spotted Dalmatian, wearing a green collar and a gold bone-shapped name tag, trapped in a cage all by itself.
"You guys!" Said Jason in excitment before rushing over to the cage, with Molly at his side, and getting down on his knees. He opened the cage and got out Olive and held her in his arms while Dice, Mickey and Max exited the cage.
"Hi, Jason, hi, Mom." Said Dice, Mickey and Max.
Olive barked.
"Dice, Mickey, Max, Olive! You're okay!" Said Jason.
"My kids. Oh, thank goodness you're all safe and sound. I was afraid something terrible might have happened to you." Molly added. None of the humans could hear her speaking due to the fact that she was a regular Dalmatian, unlike her three boys, who had human DNA just like their father, Moose, and therefore, could only be heard speaking by kids, not adults.
"Well, we're okay now that you guys are here." Said Dice.
"What's with the separate cages? Shouldn't all five of them have been in the same cage together?" Rex asked.
"It's nothing personal, sir, it's just a little safety percaution, that's all." Said the officer.
"Safety percaution? For what?" Jason asked, looking back, with Olive now on the floor, standing in front of him with her brothers.
The door then opened again and a young boy, who looked to be about the same age as Jason, with long brown hair and blue eyes, entered into the room, with a blond haired girl and blond haired boy, who also looked to be the same age as Jason, and six dogs and a Macaw Parrot resting on one of the adult Dalmatian's backs.
"Am i too late?" The boy asked as he went over to the cage that the liver-spotted Dalmatian puppy was trapped in, getting down on his knees.
"Who are they?" Bo asked.
"Who are they?" Asked the shaggy blond haired boy in a british accent.
"Oh, everyone, this is Bo, Rex, Jason and their dog, Molly. They're the owners of the other four puppies." Said Jerry. "Bo, Rex, Jason, this is my son, Keegan and his friends, Isabella and Charlie. They're the ones who have been taking care of your dogs here in London for the past two weeks."
"Hi." Said Isabella.
"How's it hanging?" Charlie added.
"Nice to meet you." Said Keegan, looking back at the trio.
"And this is Dottie, Dipstick, Chomp, Digger, Drooler, Waddlesworth and Gerogette." Said Isabella.
"Nice to meet all of you." Said Bo.
"I guess he still remembers you." Said the officer as he watched Keegan with Copper, who was overjoyed to see him.
"Of course he does, we're best friends." Said Keegan, looking back at the officer. "Officer, can't you just let him go, please?"
"Sorry. No dog is above the law. I promise you one thing though, he will get a fair hearing." Said the officer.
"But he only bites people who deserve it." Said Keegan.
"That's not gonna hold up in court, son." Said the officer.
"But i'll explain." Said Keegan.
"I'm afraid the time for explaining is over, Keegan." Said a pale red haired woman, who entered inside the room as the officer held the door open, with another young red haired woman, who was handcuffed and led into the room by another officer. "That dog is an incident waiting to happen. It has rabies and who knows what else. To keep our comunity safe, i am having him taken to the pound and making sure he's destroyed."
"Destroyed? Copper? You can't do that! Dad..." Said Keegan. "Dad, you won't let her, will you."
Jerry: "Keegan..."
"I am also having your aunt Candace locked away for theft and kidnapping." Said Linda.
"Excuse me, ma'am, who are you?" Rex asked.
"I'm Linda Lewis. I'm the mayor of London, England."
"Oh, then you're the one who called the police station in Paris, Texas and reported seeing the puppies here, correct?" Said Bo.
"Yeah, that's right. How do you know that?" Linda asked.
"My name is Bo Coleman. I'm the police comissioner of Paris, Texas. And this is Rex Bryson and Jason Miller. They're the owners of the four Dalmatian puppies." Said Bo.
"Thank you for all your help. We are truly greatful." Said Rex.
"No need to thank me, i'm was glad to do it. And i have some good news to share with you. The person who stole your puppies, and all of London's Dalmatian puppy population, has been captured and is now in police custody." Said Linda.
"That's good to hear, where is he?" Rex asked.
"SHE' is right here." Said Linda before eyeing Candace. "Bo, Rex, Jason, meet Candace Davis. She's the dognapper. She stole your dogs from Kansas and brought them over here shortly after she had finished stealing all of London's Dalmatian puppy population. Not to mention the fact that she kidnapped Keegan and held him hostage."
"That's not how it happened and you know it! My suspect my aunt Candace?" Said Keegan.
"We caught her red handed. And the evidence tells a different story." Said Linda.
"I can explain." Said Candace.
"You can explain where you were these past two weeks" Said the male inspector, holding Candace by the arm.
"She was home, hidding them." Said Waddlesworth.
"I was...out." Said Candace.
"Out." Said the inspector.
"Out." Said Candace.
"I think we've astablished she was 'out.'" Said Linda.
"Alright, let's discuss this in my office." Said the inspector, proceeding to lead Candace out of the room.
"She was in Suffolk...looking after me." Keegan admitted.
"The evidence tells a different story." Said Linda.
"What evidence?" Jerry asked.
Linda reached into her suit pocket and got out the folded up piece of paper and the ticket. "This evidence."
"What is that?" Jerry asked.
"It's a list of addresses of all of the houses and other places in London that have had Dalmatians stolen. Including a ticket to Brazil. I found them on her while we were talking. Apparently she was planning to flee the country with Keegan and the puppies." Said Linda.
Jerry took the ticket and the list from Linda and examined it.
"Jerry, you can't possibly think that...This is crazy, i'm being set up!" Said Candace.
The officer, standing on the outside, opened the door. "The guys are here for the dog."
"No!" Said Keegan.
Two male animal control officers entered into the room.
"Is this the animal?" Asked the first officer in a british accent, looking at the liver-spotted Dalmatian puppy in the cage.
"O...o...officer, as...as you can see, he's a very nice dog. You cannot destroy a dog like this." Said Keegan.
"Sorry, kid, but he has to come with us. Mayor's orders." Said the first officer.
"You guys are from the pound?" Jerry asked.
"Yeah, yeah, we have six other mutts to pick up this morning, so if you could expedite this...what do you wanna call this?" Said the second male officer in a british accent.
"Yeah, well, sorry, kid. See, some times our job is very sad. But that's too bad, we have to take the dog anyway." Said the first officer, holding out a hand to recieve the cage trapped puppy. "Now!"
Seeing that he had no choice, Keegan picked the cage up by the handle on top and handed the cage trapped pup to the first officer.
"There. See? Here's a dog you understand. You try to understand." Said the first officer to Keegan before turnning back to his male partner. "Let's move."
"Yeah, let's go." Added the second officer.
"Aren't there any forms i'm suppose to sign?" The officer asked.
The two animal control officers walked out of the room, with Copper, and closed the door behind them.
"(Crying) Oh, Dad!" Said Keegan as he ran over to Jerry, embracing him with a hug. "What am i gonna do?"
"I'm sorry, Keegan." Said Jerry.
"(Crying) What am i gonna do?" Keegan asked again.
"I'm sorry." Said Jerry.
Keegan: "(Sobbing)."
The door then opened and in walked a creepy looking old man with two doctors dressed in white.
"Oh, good, they're here." Said Linda.
"May we help you?" Jerry asked.
"I've come to collect miss Davis." Said the doctor.
"My aunt Candace?" Keegan asked, turnning to face the three men.
"Don't worry, son, we'll take good care of her at our asylum." Said the doctor.
"Asylum? My aunt's not crazy!" Said Keegan.
Candace: "Yeah, i'm not crazy, i'm as sane as all of you are. Well, most of you, that is. And anyway, 'THIS' is 'CRAZY.' Why would i steal Dalmatians and kidnap Keegan? What possible motive could i have for..."
"The true based movies." Said Linda, refering to the 101/102/103/The Texas 104 Dalmatians films.
"What?" Waddlesworth asked.
"(Crying) Oh, Candace, how could you? All of this...for fame?" Said Linda.
"What?!" Candace gasped.
"Will somebody please tell me what on Earth is going on?" Asked the inspector.
"If the 104 Dalmatians incident is repeated a second time, Disney will make a movie out of it, with some actress playing her. Would that be a motive?" Said Linda.
##################################################################################
Outside the police station, Candace sat in the back of a truck, with a white straight jacket.
"I'm innocent, i tell you! Innocent!" Candace screamed as the two white dressed doctors closed the white double doors to the back of the truck, with the word Asylum written on them.
"Get her down to the London asylum and have her evaluated, pronto. Mayor's orders." Said the inspector.
The two doctors and the lead doctor got inside the front part of the white truck.
"Inspector, wait a minute." Said Linda as she and her two daughters approached the man. "Oh, inspector, thank you so much. You and your fellow officers are doing a wonderful job in protecting the innocent."
"Thank you very much. And i must say, Mayor Lewis, you're one of the greatest mayors that this town has ever had." Said the inspector.
"Thank you, sir." Said Linda.
The inspector then walked off, leaving Linda and her daughters behind.
"Ha. Hahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Linda laughed evily, along with Donna, minus Adriana, who just looked sad and remorseful. "AHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" They countinued laughing as the aylum truck drove off, with Candace in the back.
