Blood Rose Chapter 16:
The Company finally arrived home. Jake stopped the truck in front their parents' home.
"Why is the door open?" Jake asked.
"Knowing my mom, she is not stupid enough to leave the door open." Lenn answered, "Oh no, mom, dad!"
She kicked the door open and ran to the back of the truck. She opened the door in the back and told everyone to get out. They all ran inside the house and discovered that something was amiss. The house was a complete mess. Everything was thrown to the floor. There were signs of struggle and there were also signs of fighting. Rose walked through the mess and went into the kitchen. She opened the refrigirator and noticed that all of the food was also gone. Knives went to check the liquor cabinets and noticed that all of the liquor was gone.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! MY BEAUTIFUL LIQUOR!!!!!!!!!!!!" he shouted.
Remus smacked him in the head. Everyone else looked around for any more clues. Grey noticed a piece of paper on the table.
"Hey guys, there's a piece of paper on the table." he said.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious. Read what it says." Lenn said.
To The Bastard Children of Vash The Stampede and Nicholas D. Wolfwood The Peverted Priest,

Oh crap the frog in my voice came back, uh, I want you to bring the most babealicious girl in all of December, Blood Rose, once you bring her then we can trade. MWA HA HA HA. Uh, bye now!.
Sincerely, Mayor James Franco.
PS. I do not smell like mayonayse! It's the shampoo!
"My poor Mr. Defacator!" Rose cried.
"Our parents are being captive by that bastard and he's going to have his way with our moms!" Grey said.
"We have to stop him before he traumtizes our moms for life." Lenn said.
"But what could he want with me?" Rose asked.
"It's obvious, he wants the bounty." Knives replied.
"Uh, Knives I don't think that's what he wants." Remus answered.
Everyone turned to Remus as if he was hiding something. Remus just gave them a disgusted look.
"Remus, you know something don't you?" Jake asked.
"No." He quickly said.
"Spill it Remus, before I have to shoot you." Grey said.
Remus was sweating like a pig. He couldn't take the pressure anymore.
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you everything. The Mayor is my brother!" Remus blurted out.
Everyone gasped, except for Knives because he was too busy sobbing over his lost liquor.
"The trip to New Vegas was a setup. I sent the tickets to Knives and knowing Knives he would invite the kids because he's always told me how he doesn't get a chance to spend time with them. I was arranged to be the driver and guardian of everyone on the trip to make sure nothing went wrong. I wasn't working for my brother or for the calvary, I just wanted to meet you guys really, I didn't want to turn you into the Mayor or anyone. I was planning to screw my brother over by ruining his plans because I realized that you were a bunch of nice kids and Knives is an old friend of mine and I don't wanna see him get hurt. I really didn't plan things out right because my brother found out what I was planning to do and uh, he basically sent the whole army to get one person, which I thought was overkill, but my brother's always been the overexaggerated one so, what are you gonna do." He said.
"What about the guys that attacked us at the cafe'?" Lenn asked.
"Oh those two, college friends of mine, my brother paid them to get you guys, but I paid them more money to not chase after you, so the attack was really more of diversion to get away, because the original plan was they would capture you guys and then call the Calvary, but I told them to call the Calvary six hours after we escaped and make look like we escaped recently." Remus explained.
"That explains why they didn't chase after us when the dudes in the four cars didn't catch up to us." Jake said.
"What about the phone call?" Maria asked.
"You overheard the conversion did you?" Remus asked.
"Only parts of it." Maria replied.
"I was talking to the same guys that ambushed you at the cafe'. They were the ones that got you all out of New Vegas. They told me everything. They told me what my brother was going to do and what his next move was. They told me to rent a U-Haul truck and get back to December as fast as we could before it was too late. We didn't make it back in time, but now we know where your parents are." Remus said.
"What about the cop that stopped us?" Lenn asked.
"Oh him, he wasn't part of it. He was just a big fan of Rose who wanted her autograph tattooed on his ass." Remus said.
"So you were backstabbing us the whole time?!" Grey asked.
"No, not really, if you guys want to beat the crap out of me, go ahead, I deserve it." Remus said.
Rose walked over to Remus and smiled as she gave him a hug.
"I knew you were helping us all this time, after all if you're friends with my uncle, I knew you weren't a bad person. I forgive you." Rose said.
Everybody nodded their heads in concurrence with Rose.
"So how are going to rescue our parents?" Lenn asked.
"Oh that's going to be the fun part!" Remus said.
"Okay everyone, it's time." Knives said.
"Oh no, it's that time again." Grey said.
"To the Bat Cave!" Knives said.
"Uh, Uncle Knives, we don't have a Bat Cave." Rose said.
"Oh yeah, sorry. To the Basement!" Knives said.
Author's Note: The name "Mr. Defacator" comes from the word "Defacation", meaning to take a crap in the toilet, so you can imagine what Rose's pet cat likes to do as a hobby.
