Chapter 7
Fenchurch ran to where Arthur was to be killed. He was to be thrown into a pit where a bear was that had a tendency of eating people that are suddenly thrown at it. Fenchurch knew that Arthur was the only person who could help her find Islington.
She walked up to the man in charge of the executions whose name was Gag Halfront. She tried, unsuccessfully, to bribe him. He hesitated and almost let Arthur go but he didn't want that cute fuzzy-wuzzy bear to be deprived of a perfectly good meal, although the guy did look a little stringy. The man yelled, "start", and Arthur was thrown into the pit.
Fenchurch watched in horror as people cheered for the bear as Arthur ran as fast as he could. She heard Ford, next to her, loudly cheering on the bear; she quickly turned and slapped him for being a jackass. Then she turned to Gag Halfront again and pleadingly she told him why she needed Arthur.
"That man has been to Islington, he'll take us there and we will give you 10% of the tea if you let him go."
"Really?"
"Yeah"
"Yes, now do we have a deal?" said Fenchurch quickly, knowing that Arthur could be being eaten this very second.
"50%?" Argued Gag Halfront.
"20%" responded Fenchurch.
"35%?"
"Fine, whatever" (not like she was planning on giving him any of their treasure anyway, come tomorrow they would never have to see this smelly man again) She turned away from him for a moment to hear Arthur using some language so bad that even Ford was
shocked (no small feat.) He was still running and screaming like a woman in an early 60's sitcom, well if we wasn't cussing he would have been just like one.
Gag Halfront yelled, "Woop!" the word that he had trained that bear to stop at. With this, the bear stopped in mid-growl, sat down and looked like a cute little teddy bear. Most people in the audience now wanted to hug it, which would not be too clever.
Arthur climbed out of the pit and went to the barbershop to get his hair cut. After cowering in the corner for a minute, the barber threw some deodorant at him, waited for him to put it on and then cut his hair. Gag Halfront followed him, staying with the group to protect his investment.
