There was darkness all around as the overflowed river rapaged. Boss
ran all the way to the human bridge that crossed the river and crossed it.
"I hope they don't find Caitlin," he whispered as he raced deeper into the
park until he was lost. "Oh no...," Boss murmured as he looked around.
Instantaneously something appeared from behind the tree. It caught Boss's eye as he glared at it. "Oh, crud, it's them...," he whispered as they peeked around the tree. Boss raised his shovel into the air, hollered a few curses, and charged toward them.
"No!" a voice very familiar shouted. Boss couldn't stop, so he finally collided into the newly unknown being. After a moment of being on the ground, the voice spoke to Boss. "Why did you do that?" it questioned.
Boss sat upward and looked in front of him. There was Jingle. He would have never guessed Jingle would be outside.
"But, Jingle, why are you out here?" Boss questioned. "OK, I'll admit it, I was trying to escape to go to the music club," Jingle admitted. "What?!" Boss scolded. "Why, you!" As Jingle was about to get up, Boss pulled him back down and got him into a headlock. "OUCHICHI!" Jingle screamed.
Suddenly a figure appeared in the darkness. "Silly boys," it said as it approached the two. Jingle tried to get out of Boss's grip, but Boss was occupied with the new company. He gripped his shovel and demanded, "Show yourself."
Instantaneously a girl with a black head until halfway past her eyes with black, spiked pigtails with lime green ribbons appeared in front of him. She looked at them and whispered, "Hashaa, hammo. Lokchi!" "Huh?" Jingle inquired. "What does that mean?"
The girl Ham batted her eyes at him and whispered, "Budda-dubba moso lokchi b-chu." "I'm sorry, but I do not understand," Jingle responded. "I do not speak that language." "Emocku," she rejoined. "That means I understand. I was cursing you previously. When we first met, I said, 'Hello, friend. Darn!.' " "Oh, OK," Boss replied.
She looked up at him and whispered, "You shan't be around here at this time." "Why?" Boss inquired. "I shall tell you the truth," the girl Ham acknowledged. "You are standing in front of the most fearless Ham gal for miles, except for maybe Stella. I am the Bad Ham Gal."
Jingle looked at Boss and muttered, "I knew it! She was speaking Bad Ham Chat." "Yeah," Boss whispered as the Bad Ham Gal looked up at him. "I'll let you go this time," she remarked. "But next time, you're mine. The Bad Hams are about to sneak up behind you two, so I want you to go to Caitlin's home and be safe. No one will find you two there." With that, the Bad Ham Gal disappeared into the darkness of the night.
