Chapter 11: Chad

With Caitlin, Natsu, and Megan...

"I wonder where we could go to hear something mentioned about people?" Caitlin wondered aloud as she, Natsu, and Megan walked along the sidewalk of a busy street.

"Dunno," Natsu mumbled.

"Maybe at a club?" Megan inquired.

Caitlin nodded. "Well, let's see where there's a lot of people."

The three girl hams continued to walk down the sidewalk until they heard a lot of commotion in a nearby alley. When they heard a lot of shouts, they ran toward the alley to see what was there. In the alley, there was a short, large-voiced hamster that was white and blonde talking loudly to a whole group of hamsters.

"Jake's so awesome! And he's my best friend, and not yours!" the short hamster sneered at the other hamsters.

"Chad, so what? What does Jake do that no one else does?" a hamster inquired.

"That must be his best friend," Megan whispered to Caitlin and Natsu.

Caitlin nodded. "Let's see if he knows anything," she remarked as she came into view of the other hamsters.

The group of hamsters turned toward Caitlin and shouted, "Hey, who are you?!"

"I'm Cait Shoxxi," Caitlin remarked confidently. "And these are my sisters, Natalie and Dilla Shoxxi."

The hamster named Chad, the short blonde and white hamster, nodded. "I'm Chad, and I'm Jake's best friend!" he bragged. "You're hot, Shoxxi gals!"

Caitlin glanced toward Natsu and Megan and rolled her eyes. "So what are you talking 'bout?" she inquired Chad.

Chad responded, "Well, I was talking about how awesomely awesome Jake is!"

"That's what Becky says," Natsu whispered to the other two girl hams.

"Who's that?" Caitlin asked, acting as if she didn't know him even though they were looking for him.

"Well, he's this guy, and most people say he's a freak, and they say he's a freak because he's CRAZY over this one ham gal, which he is, but he's really cool!" Chad explained.

"He's like my dad...he EMPHASIZES words," Caitlin whispered to Natsu and Megan.

"So, what has he done so amazing?" Megan questioned.

Chad cleared his throat. "Just what I was going to tell everyone," he remarked. "Well, what has Jake done so wonderfully? I encourage this to everyone... He kidnapped the girl that he liked that didn't like him! Everyone! Everyone here who likes someone but they don't like you, kidnap them! Ha, isn't that so intelligent? Just get Jake's big friend to help you, and YOU can kidnap someone you like, too! Ha, and it's free! I encourage everyone to do that! Do like Jake! Kidnap that special girl you like, and then marry her! Ha ha, it should be fun! I would, but I don't have my eye on anyone. Remember, when you like someone and they don't like you, KIDNAP THEM!"

"..." Caitlin glanced around at all the mesmerized hamsters. GOOD GOD!, she thought. These hamsters are RETARDED!

"I wanna kidnap the nurse at the hospital!" a hamster piped up.

"I'm gonna kidnap that Officer Bob's wife!" another hamster shouted.

Caitlin turned pale. Barbara?

"I'm gonna kidnap Chad!" a big hamster declared.

Chad looked at the hamster as if he was a stupid child and shouted, "I'M A GUY, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!!!"

"...So?" the hamster responded.

"Could I see this Jake?" Caitlin inquired Chad as she stepped toward him.

Chad shrugged. "I dunno," he remarked. "He doesn't have a phone at his house. He always uses the payphone. And, uh, I dunno where he lives. Ha ha, I'm stupid when it comes to places! ...I forgot what his house looks like. I could find out for you, if you wanted, but I have to wait until he calls me, which might be in...a week through two weeks."

Caitlin turned paler. "How often do you see him?" she inquired.

"Quite a bit...," Chad responded. "I'll find out where he lives for you soon."

"Thanks, ...Chad? Hehe," Megan rejoined.

Chad bowed. "If I haven't mentioned, you're hot, Shoxxi gals!" he complimented.

"Akay...," Caitlin mumbled as she, Natsu, and Megan walked quickly away from the alley.

Once they were away from the alley, Caitlin declared, "We need to tell Mike about this."

"Will Snot Almighty listen?" Megan inquired.

"I think so."

"Let's go find him then," Natsu remarked.
