I just decided to include the scene where Olivia, Dawson, and Basil ride on Toby along with Andrew and Clover in the last chapter because it'd be too short to do it separately.

Chapter 7: Toyshop/Another Kidnapping

After Eve laughed when Basil was shushed at, she left Sherlock's flat and went to find her boyfriend, Fidget.

...

As Fidget was in the toy store snatching tools, gears, and uniforms from toy soldiers that Ratigan wanted him to get off the list, he grunted as he shoved the items into his sack.

Fidget pulled out the list Ratigan gave me. "Get the following," He read as he used his pencil to check out the items I've got from the list. "Tools, check. I've got tools. Gears, double check. I've got gears. Girl. No, I didn't get girl." He erased the checkmark he put next to the word "girl". "Uniforms," Fidget continued with a chuckle, "I got plenty uniforms!"

Eve panted when she made it to the toy shop. "I'm sorry, Fidget for holding you up," she apologized.

"No, biggy," Fidget replied, "I have other things to worry about, anyway."

His relief was short-lived when he heard a dog hollowing, knowing he'd been caught. "Oh, no!" the bat cried out in a panic, "I gotta hide! Ooh, I gotta hide!" He packed up the stolen items in a bag and took off running in a panic as the dog continued hollowing. All of a sudden, the list flew away from Fidget and dropped to the floor. Eve followed him.

…

Toby reached the toyshop that he'd discovered. He let Basil hop off his snout onto the window sill. "Splendid job, Toby!" Basil praised the dog.

Olivia trotted down to Toby's snout and held out her arms innocently, waiting for Basil to catch her.

Basil rolled his eyes at this, but held out his arms for her, anyway. Olivia hopped off Toby's nose and fell into Basil's arms. The detective gave her a worried look before giving her a stern one and set her down on the window sill. He nudged her as if to say "go on".

Clover was on Toby's nose, waiting for Basil to catch her, but he gave her a "you, too?" look. Then, he realized he didn't want a young lady hurt, so he reached out to her and he caught her.

Andrew opened his arms for Clover and the older sister did the same. Andrew landed safely in her arms. Toby growled at Dawson once more before Dawson tipped his hat and Toby huffed, making Dawson roll over on the window sill in Basil's direction.

Basil looked at him with concern before turning to Toby. "Now, Toby, sit!" he commanded.

Toby just stood there, smiling when Basil stomped over to him. "Toby, SIT!"

"Sit, Toby!" Olivia commanded politely.

Much to Basil's surprise, he obeyed her. Clover and Andrew felt a gleam of satisfaction over Olivia's politeness.

"Good boy," Basil said, on the stuffy side.

"She's being polite," Clover told him.

"Get over yourself, okay?" Andrew said.

"If you would excuse me," he said, walking past the girls and boy, who turned around to the detective.

Then they turned back to the dog. "You be good now," Olivia said and looked over her shoulder at the two men. "We're going to find our father!"

"And we're not giving up," Clover added.

"Exactly," Andrew said.

Basil hummed to himself in a thinking pose and when he saw a glass door, that gave him an idea. "Aha!" he said, "Here is our friend's entrance!"

"But Basil," Dawson protested, "How can he fit into such a tiny-"

Basil held Dawson's hand, motioning to the tiny hole. "Observe doctor!" Basil put Dawson's chubby finger through the hole. Dawson opened the door.

Clover, Andrew, and Olivia watched in amazement.

"Basil, you astound me," Dawson said, his face through the door, which made his head look huge and goofy.

Basil shushed him and Dawson backed away, knowing they were in their enemy's territory. Basil, Clover, Andrew, and Olivia were the first ones to crawl in through the door, while Dawson was the last one to come in and close the door behind him.

Once inside the toy store, they observed the shop for any signs of Fidget. Dawson bumped into a porcelain doll. Dawson tipped his hat. "I beg your pardon, but I-" he began, but he looked up to see what it was. "Oh, my! Upon my word. I've never seen so many toys!"

"Neither have I," said Andrew.

"But our father would be impressed, nevertheless," Clover added.

Basil stood behind the porcelain doll's leg, warning the four. "Behind any of which could lurk a bloodthirsty assassin! So please, doctor, be very careful." He returned to the doll's leg and underneath its skirt to hide in the shadows. Then he hopped over the doll's foot and Clover, Andrew, Dawson, and Olivia followed him up the ladder.

Up from the ladder, something caught Andrew's and Olivia's interest. It was a fireman toy.

"I wonder what it does?" Andrew said.

"Let's try a lever and see," Olivia told him and turned on the fireman band toy.

Dawson jumped into Basil's arms in fear.

"What's that racket?" Clover shouted, covering her ears.

"What the devil?" Basil groaned as he threw Dawson out of his arms and flung himself to reach for the controllers to stop the machine.

The sound died down. "Please!" Basil said tensely.

"Basil, what did we say about yelling at them?" Clover scolded.

Basil glanced at the older Flaversham girl in fear of her wrath. He turned back to the little girl and boy and said gently, but firmly, "Quiet!" He then came directly over to Dawson. "Don't let these children out of your SIGHT!"

Dawson saluted like a veterinary soldier and Olivia saluted with him.

"Ha, cute!" said Clover and Andrew and saluted along with them.

"Now, Olivia and Andrew, dear, stay close," Dawson ordered as he took Olivia by the hand, which made her smile.

"We all forget sometimes, Andrew and Olivia, but try to avoid touching anything else," Clover warned politely.

"Yes, Clover," replied Andrew and to Olivia, "We must stay close, little princess. I forgot, too."

Fidget glared at the mice from above a shelf.

Basil pushed a chess piece in front of the trio. "Checkmate," he said.

"Basil, why did you do that?" asked Clover.

"I was playing chess, Miss Clover and Mr. Andrew," Basil replied.

"Sure, you were, Mr. Arrogant," Andrew said sarcastically, dismissing pushing a chess piece in front of him and his siblings and Dawson as arrogance.

"That's not nice, Basil," Clover said sternly.

"AHA!" Basil said, examining footprints with his magnifying glass. He turned to Dawson, Olivia, Clover, and Andrew. "Evidence of our peg-legged adversary." He stooped down to look at more footprints, humming as he'd done so and paused to look up at the unclothed toy soldiers. "Hmm...How very odd."

"What is it, Basil?" asked Dawson.

"Isn't it painfully obvious, doctor?" Basil turned to face the doctor, the girls, and boy. "These dolls have been stripped of their uniforms!"

Basil knelt down to look at footprints and the girls and boy joined him. "And not by any child, either." They exchanged glances at each other when Basil turned around to observe something else.

"Ah! Hello!" He saw that the gears were also nabbed from the toy wind-up monkey and wind-up clown. "Someone has taken the liberty of removing the clockwork mechanisms from these toys."

Fidget's eyes widened in astonishment, but scooted from the shelf.

Dawson's eyes sank down the ground as he saw a piece of paper on the floor. He bent down to pick it up. Olivia, Clover, and Andrew took a glance at it, too.

"Basil!" Dawson said, waving the list to get the detective's attention.

"Please, I'm trying to concentrate!" Basil exclaimed exasperatedly.

"But Basil, I…" Dawson said.

The five of them heard music and saw a puppy's head emerge from a top hat, yipping. They also watched as a toy rabbit opened and closed an Easter egg with a chick inside, also playing a merry tune. The toy violin man played a giddy melody. The jack-in-the-box made a spooky sound, but seeing bubbles, Olivia and Andrew followed them. However, Clover wasn't going to let them get away easily, so she went behind them. "Andrew. Olivia," Clover said with concern in her voice.

"Pst, Clover," a female voice said. Then a girl bat glided down to greet her.

"Eve? What are you doing here?"

"Long story," Eve replied. "It's okay. I'm nothing like Fidget, believe me," she assured her.

"Really?" Olivia asked, feeling suspicious, "Why should we believe you?"

"What do you plan to do to us?" Andrew demanded, tapping his foot indignantly.

"I like kids, but not injuring them. How old are you?"

"Thirteen," Andrew replied.

"Eight," Olivia said, pointing to herself.

"Thirteen? Eight? Those are amazing ages," Eve observed, "I'm glad you guys and Clover decided to save your father because this is a big responsibility for you."

"Indeed," Clover said.

"Basil didn't think so, but Dawson, Andrew, and I finally got him to listen. Who are you?"

"Eve and that's good. I'm sure I can reason with him, too. By the way, the bubbles are quite lovely."

"Eve, I got a bad feeling about this," Clover warned, "Something strange could be in that cradle."

With that, they popped the bubbles they pursued and came to a baby cradle. The female bat knew who was hiding in there, so she said to her new mouse friends, "Okay, stay close." Then looked at Clover. "But we're going to do this nice and slow."

"Alright, nice and steady," Clover said, taking a deep breath.

Together, the three girls and the boy slowly tugged onto the blanket to reveal a scary bat laughing at them.

"BWAH-HA-HA-HA!" he cackled, scaring the poor girls and boy.

Taken aback by her boyfriend, Eve punched him in the face.

Dawson and Basil turned around just a moment to see the girl mice. "Olivia! Clover! Andrew!" Dawson gasped.

"Gotcha!" Fidget said, carrying Olivia and Andrew and threw them in a sack, cackling, recovering from Eve's punch.

"Don't you dare!" Clover yelled and she and Eve pulled the sack, forcing him to let go.

Eve and Clover opened the sack to see Andrew and Olivia. "Are you guys alright?" Eve asked.

"Yeah, we're fine," Andrew said.

"Thanks for saving us, Miss Bat," said Olivia.

Eve and Clover giggled, finding the nickname for the female bat cute.

Basil and Dawson sighed in relief, finding Clover, Andrew, and Olivia finally safe.

Just then, Fidget separated them and pushed Andrew and Olivia back in the sack.

"Quickly, Doctor!" Basil and Dawson went after him when something wheeled in their direction. It was a toy wheel. "Ahh-ya-haa! Look out!" Basil shouted as he grabbed onto Dawson's coat and rolled to the other side. Then, they landed on the "Round the World" map. Just when they thought the worst was over, a porcelain doll tipped over in their direction and the two mice ran on the map pages like a treadmill when they were trying to escape the falling doll. Then, the map ran out of pages. They hopped off it and the doll fell down with a smash facedown.

Dawson recoiled as a piece of face eyed him. Basil got back on his feet to chase his enemy.

Fidget snickered wickedly as he wound up a toy knight on a horse, sending it on its way to them.

Basil and Dawson stopped to see it fleeing towards them. Luckily for Basil, he hopped and held onto a trumpet before it could get to him. Unfortunately for Dawson, the knight caught underneath his coat, making him go backwards until the sword hit the target like a dart. Bullseye!

Basil let go of the trumpet and landed on his feet to glare at Fidget, who took Olivia and Andrew away from Clover. Without warning, the fireman banged his cymbals in the detective's face, making him so dizzy, he fell onto a pile of marbles, accidentally hitting Dawson.

Fidget pointed as he laughed at their misfortunes. Then waved mockingly as he said, "Bye-bye! Bye-bye!" He opened the door to see a dog growl at him angrily and slammed it shut. Then, there was another exit for Fidget, so he looked up at the roof and dashed for it, while losing his pink bonnet and hopping onto the register, ringing "No Sale".

Eve laughed at her own boyfriend's misfortune. "Well, he deserved that one."

Clover helped Basil up to his feet. "Are you okay?" she asked.

Basil regained consciousness and hopped on a toy horse that bounced. "Stop, you fiend!" he commanded, bouncing after Fidget until he crashed at the top. However, this didn't stop the mouse detective from chasing Fidget on top of the pile of toys and blocks.

Clover climbed after Basil to help him get the bat, only to be knocked over by Basil and she fell with an oof!

Just as Basil was about to get his hands on the bat, Fidget clung on the window of the roof, watching Basil fall in delight.

Fidget smirked and chuckled darkly before swinging the sack of stolen items and two children, who muffled, shouting, "Help! Uncle Basil! Clover! Help! Help!" Fidget climbed out to grab onto the sack and hopped from roof to roof.

He sang to himself, gloating over kidnapping Olivia and Andrew. "I got the gears, I got the tools, I got the uniforms! I got the kids!" He laughed at the melodies he'd sung.

"Help us!" Andrew shouted.

"Andrew. Olivia. I'm sorry!" Clover said.

"We did all we could, Clover," Eve assured her. "I'll deal with Fidget later." Then the two went to look for Dawson.
