Chapter Six
Back in the College Lab…
"That's nine to one out of ten, Negs," Quiverwing said happily as she held out her scissors to his paper.
Negaduck muttered incoherently. Quiverwing laughed.
"Wanna stop now and save yourself further humiliation?" she asked.
"I'm losing to a kid, and I'm in a lab with a bunch of Darkwing's groupies. What's happening to me?!" Negaduck exclaimed as he slammed his fist down on the lab table beside of him.
"Maybe you're turning into a do-gooder," Quiverwing suggested.
"What?! Why I oughta— !" Negaduck began, jumping off his stool and raising it over his head.
"Guys!" exclaimed Honker, causing Negaduck to stop in his tracks and stare at him. "I've found something!"
Launchpad, Quiverwing, and Negaduck rushed over. Honker held up a vial of yellow liquid for all to look at.
"What is it?" Launchpad asked.
"Why, you imbecile," Negaduck began, "it's obvious it's a…um…what is it?"
Quiverwing and Honker shook their heads.
"It shows us what kind of paper the villain that took Darkwing used," Honker explained.
"And that helps us…how?" Quiverwing pursued.
"It helps us by telling us that this particular paper is only used in a remote forest region on the other side of this continent."
"So that's where this baddie is keeping D.W.?" Launchpad said.
"Yes, that's correct. It also tells us that this paper was written near a fire."
"How does that help?" Negaduck inquired.
"Nobody inhabits that forest that I'm speaking of. People don't even camp there for some reason. Which means that that would be the perfect place to make a hideout," Honker finished proudly.
"It was until we just discovered it," Negaduck said disdainfully.
"Good going, Honk," Launchpad said, slapping the youngster on the back. This caused Honker's red-rimmed eyeglasses to slide down his beak.
"Thank you, Launchpad," Honker replied, pushing them back into place.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Quiverwing said.
"Just a moment, Quiverwing. Let me go to the library and copy a map of this place. That way I can pinpoint exactly where we need to go," Honker said, hopping off his stool.
"The library here is open too?"
"Yes. Launchpad, you can go ahead and be getting the ThunderQuack ready," Honker said as he made his way out of the lab. "I'll be back in a few."
Launchpad left behind him to go start up the ThunderQuack. This left Quiverwing and Negaduck alone. The two looked at one another, then both seemingly decided to follow Launchpad to the ThunderQuack.
End Notes: (These are a habit too!) Okay, this chapter is also short. But I think the next chapter will be longer….I have something relatively big planned for it.
