"I wonder who that was?" Boss asked as he glanced at Jingle. "I guess we had better do what she said." "Uh-huh," Jingle responded as the two Ham boys ran all the way to Caitlin's house. They didn't even bother knock as they rushed in and bolted the door.
Caitlin appeared in front of them. "What do you think you're doing? Busting into your girlfriend's house with your friend?" she scolded. "Sorry, Caitlin," Boss apoligized. "Just the Bad Ham Gal told us to come here."
Caitlin smiled grimly as she said, "Oh?" "Yes, she did," Jingle replied. She continued smiling as she adjusted her purple ribbons. "I see," Caitlin rejoined. "Make yourselves at home here." "OK!" Boss and Jingle said in unison.

Meanwhile...

The Bad Hams looked desperately around the whole park for any Ham- Hams. "Where is that girl?" Number 1 muttered. "Dunno," Number 2 answered. "Cait just disappeared without us." "Stupid Bad Ham Gal," Number 1 critisized as they continued looking through the night.
Once the sun began to rise in the east, the Bad Hams reluctantly went back to the Bad Hams Place. Mike was waiting eagerly for them as they approached. "Bad Hams!" he screamed. "You didn't bring me back a Ham- Ham!" "That's was Cait's job, but she disappeared!" Number 1 explained. "Well, I have a question, Number 1," Number 3 announced. "Why didn't you let us go after that one Ham-Ham that ran out of the clubhouse and escaped? You made us just stand there and watch!"
Mike glared at Number 1 and said, "And, that is true?" "YES!" the rest of the Bad Hams shouted. Number 1 glanced around and looked for support, but everyone seemed to be against him. With that, Number 1 stomped away from the scene and left the Bad Hams Place disgusted.
Number 1 walked all the way to the river where he saw Caitlin washing lime green ribbons (uh...........). "Cait!" he yelled at her as she looked at him. "What, sir?" she asked. "Where is our Ham-Ham? You never brought them to us!" he scolded. "Uh, that was my job? I thought it was yours!" Caitlin responded.
Immediately Boss saw Number 1 talking to Caitlin. He ran over there and shouted, "Hey, get away from her!" Number 1 glared at him and then at Caitlin and muttered, "So, that's what is the most important on the most important night, BHG?" With that, he left.
Boss watched Number 1 as he left. Caitlin looked at her lime green ribbons and hid them in her paws. "What does BHG stand for?" Boss interrogated. "I don't know," Caitlin whispered as she looked down at her ribbons. "The Ham-Hams told me they're fine," Boss acknowledged. "Just a little tired since they couldn't sleep last night." "That's OK...," Caitlin murmured as she gripped her lime green ribbons. I think I might have to tell Boss the truth one of these days..., she thought. He'll find out eventually that I'm the Half Ham-Ham, Half Bad Ham Gal.

THE END FOR NOW
