104R 45: Discussion Of The Incident.
Candace drove the asylum truck down the streets of London, with Keegan, Isabella, Charlie and the Miller pups sitting beside her, determined to get to the Orient Express and to New Zealand.
"Thanks for getting me out of there, guys. I don't know what i would've done if i had spent one more minute there." Said Candace.
"Don't mention it." Said Charlie.
"So what did the doctors say?" Isabella asked.
"What?" Candace asked.
"You know, the doctors at the asylum. How did they react when you told them that you didn't do all of those things you were accused of?" Isabella asked.
"Well, like the police, they didn't believe me when i told them that i was innocent and sane and that i was being set up by the mayor. They think i'm crazy, just like everyone else in this city." Said Candace.
"No one thinks you're crazy, aunt Candace." Said Keegan.
"Yes they do." Said Candace.
"We don't think you're crazy." Said Keegan.
"Thanks. That's nice to hear. But everyone else does. No one in London seems to believe that i'm innocent or that their mayor is the one who set me up to take the fall for all three of these crimes." Said Candace.
"That's not suprising. Linda has this whole city fooled into believing she's all that and a bag of chips, just like she does with my Dad." Said Keegan.
"I know, it's like they're all brainwashed or something." Said Candace.
"I just don't get it. Why would the mayor frame you for something that you didn't do?" Charlie asked. "Maybe you really are behind the vanishing of London's Dalmatian puppy population. This generation's Cruella De ViL." Charlie joked.
Keegan then smacked Charlie in the back of the head.
"Ow!" Said Charlie before rubbing the back of his head.
"Maybe you got fudge for brains." Said Keegan.
"I just don't understand why the mayor would frame you for all these crimes when she knows you didn't commit them." Said Isabella.
"Well, it makes sense when you think about it." Said Charlie.
"It does?" Said Isabella and Keegan as they, along with the Miller pups, looked at Charlie.
"Yeah, i mean miss Davis is the sister of Keegan's father's late wife, so therefore, the mayor is jealous of her. She thinks that if she doesn't get rid of the competition, she'll lose Jerry to miss Davis." Said Charlie.
"A frame up motivated by jealousy? Yeah, right." Said Isabella.
"Hey, it's the perfect motive the way i see it." Said Charlie.
"Okay, what's the motivation here? I mean, is it dictatorship or jealousy?" Isabella asked.
"At this rate...i really don't know what to think. What do you think, Keegan?" Charlie turnned to see Keegan looking out the window. "Keegan? Keegan?"
"What?" Keegan asked, looking at Charlie and the others.
"Dude, where'd you go just now?" Charlie asked.
"Sorry. I was just thinking." Said Keegan.
"Thinking about what?" Candace asked.
"About this ticket we found. I mean, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence that the driver just so happened to drop it while they were kidnapping Copper?" Said Keegan.
"Are you saying that the driver dropped it on purpuse? That they want us to follow them? Why would they do that?" Candace asked.
"As a reference." Said Isabella.
"What?" Candace asked as she, Keegan, Charlie and the Miller pups focused on Isabella.
"22 Years ago, my cousin's, Chloe Simon, house was broken into and her Dalmatians were stolen. As you all know from watching the movie, Le Pelt left accidently dropped his train ticket to Paris, France while making his get away. My guess is that this ticket is a reference to that scene in the film. Only this time, it was left there on purpuse." Said Isabella.
"You think so, Izzy?" Charlie asked.
"I don't think, i know." Said Isabella.
"How?" Keegan asked.
"Well, let's start by answering this question: What year is it?" Isabella asked.
"That's easy, it's (2022)." Said Charlie.
"Exactly. It's (2022). 20 Years since the 102 Dalmatians film came out in (2002)." Said Isabella.
"Oh my gosh. Isabella, are you saying what i think you're saying?" Candace asked.
"Yes. Yes i am. This isn't just history repeating itself...someone's repeating the 102 Dalmatians incident. And if these people are taking Copper to New Zealand...then maybe...just maybe...London's Dalmatian population is there too." Said Isabella.
"Boy, Izzy, how'd you get so smart?" Keegan asked.
"I watch T.V., like everyone else." Said Isabella.
"Okay, now that that's all cleared up, let's focus on the next question: Who are these people that are stealing Dalmatian puppies from London. And more importantly...who is the mastermind? Cruella's dead, Stacy's in prison. So who could this person be?" Said Charlie.
"Maybe it's the 'MAYOR'." Said Keegan, refering to Linda.
"No, it can't be her. She has nothing to gain from stealing an entire city's Dalmatian puppy population. It has to be someone with motivation." Said Charlie.
"Charlie's right, it doesn't have to be the mayor. Like he said, she has nothing to gain from any of this, except for framing miss Davis and getting her out of the way. And plus she's a wife and a mother of two. No spouse/parent in their right mind is gonna jeopradize that just to get rid of some woman. And pluse, she and Keegan and his Dad have only been in London for two weeks. The Dalmatian vanishings started last month." Said Isabella.
"Taken. Yeah, she's the mayor, a wife, a mother of three, with good pablicity, and the Dalmatian vanishings started a month earlier before she and her family moved here from Canada." Said Charlie.
"She's not my mother, dipstick, she's my 'STEP'mother." Said Keegan.
Dipstick then barked in the back of the truck.
"Sorry, Dipstick." Said Keegan.
"Oh, snap. I just thought of something. Wouldn't it be cool if Disney got ahold of this story and made it into one of their films, like they did the previous four?" Said Charlie.
"Shut up, Charlie. This is real life, okay? This isn't a movie." Said Isabella.
"Well, one day, it will be." Said Charlie. "Hey, Keeg. If Disney were to do a movie about this little incident, who do you think they would get to play you?"
"Knowing Disney, they would probably cast some Disney Channel kid-actor to play me. Or get some random kid." Said Keegan.
"Yeah. I think i'd pay real good money to see that." Said Charlie.
"Look, there's the Orient Express." Isabella pointed out.
The gang looked in the direction that Isabella was pointing and saw the Orient Express train station up ahead.
"So it is. Hold on tight." Said Candace before mashing her foot on the gas, causing the truck to zoom down the steet. Once it got close to the train station, Candace slowed the vehicle down and turnned into the parking lot, where she found a parking space. The four humans and four Dalmatian puppies exited the vehicle and went to the back, where Candace and Keegan opened the double doors, allowing Dottie, Dipstick, Waddlesworth, Chomp, Digger, Drooler and Georgette to exit the vehicle.
"Come on, you guys." Said Candace before she and the others all rushed up to the double glass doors of the train station. She held one of the doors opened, allowing Keegan, Isabella, Charlie and the animals to run inside the building before entering inside herself. "Ticket booths! That way!" She pointed out as she and the gang ran through the building. The gang ran in the direction where Candace was pointing and they all ran towards the ticket booths and stopped at the one in the middle that a woman was standing inside.
"Hi, thank you for choosing the Orient Express. How may i help you?" Asked the woman in a british accent.
"Yeah, uh, i was wondering, by any chance, if there's a train leaving here for New Zealand. Is there?" Said Candace.
"Yes, ma'am, there is." The ticket lady.
"Did we miss the train?" Candace asked.
"No, ma'am, you just made it." Said the ticket lady.
"Good. Can you give us four tickets to that train. It's really important that we get to New Zealand, pronto." Said Candace.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, i can." Said the ticket lady.
"Thank you." Said Candace.
The lady then got four tickets from inside the booth. "Here you go, enjoy the trip." She said, handing the tickets to Candace.
"Thanks. Where is the train to New Zealand?" Said Candace.
"It's right down that way." The ticket lady pointed out.
"Okay, thanks. Come on, guys." Said Candace before she and the others ran off in the direction the ticket lady pointed out to find and board the train that was bound for New Zealand.

Meanwhile, at the London, England airport, Cruella's black and white Panther Deville car sped into the parking lot, with a loud scrrech, with a police car following. Both vehicles quickly found a parking space and Linda, Jerry, Adriana, Donna, Bo, Rex, Jason and Molly all exited the car, the same time officer Luxord did, and they all ran inside the airport. It was Linda who had suggested that they come here. If Keegan and the others were going to New Zealand by train, then she and her trio could get there before them by plane. When they were all inside, the gang stopped in their tracks.
"Where's the ticket counter?" Jason asked as he and the others looked around.
Molly then barked as she looked in the right direction, getting the attention of the others.
They all looked in the direction where Molly was looking and saw the ticket counter.
"There." Said Linda before she and the gang rushed up to the ticket counter that a woman stood behind.
"Welcome to the London, England airport. How may i help you?" Asked the woman in a british accent.
"Are there any planes here that are leaving for New Zealand?" Linda asked.
"Yes, there is. In fact, it's about ready to leave." Said the ticket lady.
"Can you give us eight tickets to the flight, please? It's an emergancy." Linda asked.
"Sure. Hold on one sec." Said the ticket lady. She reached from behind the counter and got out eight tickets. "There you go. Enjoy the flight." She said, handing Linda the tickets.
"Thank you. Where is the entrance to the plane to New Zealand?" Linda asked.
"Right through that door over there." The lady pointed out.
"Thank you." Said Linda as she and the others rushed off in the direction the ticket lady was pointing at.
"You're welcome." Said the ticket lady. "(Sighs) Everybody's in a hurry these days."
