Wait! What About . . . ?
Also known as the Epilouge
In which, Grin makes an alarming discovery
Two days later, the ducks had returned from Phil's publicity stunt. The was enough triumph amongst them that Grin though they might be able to live off of it. It may have been a long photo shoot, but for once, it actually hadn't been embarrassing. The ducks were 'off the hook' as the humans said.
He returned to his room to rest. They had a game that night. He sat for a few moments to collect his thoughts into the extreme calm that was his norm, then got up and went to his closet.
Grin was surprised when he didn't see his box of doughnuts. He dug through his closet, falling to his knees to search the floor. Not even a drop of icing . . .
"There was a whole fresh box in there yesterday, I know there was," Grin said to himself. He moved quickly for his size to search the entire room. He was irate enough to have scattered objects pell-mell, but that would have furthur ruined his tranquility. He couldn't possibly allow himself to do that.
He paused, then the security camera in one corner of his room caught his eye. Immediately he realized what must have happened.
"No . . . Phil."
Meanwhile, Phil Pomfeather roared down the highway with hot coffee and a box of doughnuts. He glanced at the the box and shouted in victory.
"Haha, they may have ruined me this time, but Phil Pomfeather will never be outsmarted!" He took a doughnut from the box. Before he took a bite however, he glanced in his rear-view mirror and out the windows to the sky. No ducks, and definitely no Grin. With determination, he bit into the doughnut and savored his revenge.
"I may never have the courage to see them again, but this time, I've had the last laugh!"
Phil sped past a police crusier. The officer inside the car shook his head. That guy was doing twenty over the speed limit. "These nutsoes, why do they never learn?" he said, flicking on his lights and pulling onto the highway. Just another day in the life of this guy.
And somehow, something gave the officer a strong feeling about that.
THE REAL FIN
