REVEW RESPONSE
Nightw2: I meant the old FoxFang. Sorry, I should've made that clearer. As for Zach, yes, he is Daffy and Melissa's adopted son. That will be explained later in this chapter. Thanks for the ideas for names. I'll use a combination of your ideas and those of acosta pèrez josè ramiro. And yes again, those crooks will have to be clever, or very lucky. You'll see later. I kinda guessed you were a Batman fan by looking at your profile page, you being a shipper of the Batman/Catwoman pairing. On a different note, sorry for the mistake I made to my response to your review of Mystery Contest.
acosta pèrez josè ramiro: Thanks for the ideas of the names. I'll use some of yours and some from Nightw2. Nice to know you're a Batman fan as well. Hope you enjoy the rest of this story. Glad you like the fact I included Sly Jr.
Note. This chapter contains a strong violence scene near the end. Reader discretion is advised for this chapter.
Supermarket troubleThe thugs were standing around outside the principles office. Since Bugs wasn't around and they had no Idea of where he was, they were stuck.
"Now what do we do?" The first thug asked.
"Don't ask me." The second thug replied.
"Well I just did." The first thug snapped. Daffy opened the doorway and saw the three standing there.
"Hi guys, tell you what, if you give me your names, I'll tell Bugs you were looking for him when he gets back." Daffy said. The thugs looked at him. They then looked at each other.
"Shall we give him our names?" The third thug asked in a whisper.
"It will either help or hinder." The second added.
"I say we give our names and wait for Bugs to come to us." The third suggested.
Fine, we'll do that, but don't blame me if the plan fails." The first replied. They turned to Daffy.
"So, can I have your names to give to Bugs?" Daffy asked.
"Sure, my name is Lucius Lupine." The first thug replied.
"My name is Lupus Lupine." The second thug replied.
"And mine is Winston Stalker." The third thug replied. Daffy wrote all the names down.
"Thank you, I'll give your names to Bugs when he gets back." Daffy said.
"Thank you kindly." Lucius replied. Daffy went back into the office.
"So, where do we go now?" Winston asked.
"Since we don't know where they are, we wait for them to come back and grab them." Lucius replied.
"Won't that be obvious?" Lupus asked.
"It's the best way. We'll wait until they're alone." Lucius replied.
"I have another idea." Winston said.
"What?" Lucius asked.
"We wait for them to come back, find out what they're up to tonight and attack them there." Winston replied. Lucius thought about this for a moment.
"Ok, I like that idea." Lucius said after a minute.
"So, where shall we wait?" Lupus asked.
"How about the cantine." Winston suggested.
"Ok, I'm hungry." Lucius replied. The wolves walked towards the cantine.
At the circus, everyone was sitting in the front row during the short break during the performance. Jessica was sitting in between her father Bugs and Zach. She had a packet of popcorn on her lap, which she was sharing with Zach. Jessica was bored so she decided to start a conversation to pass the time.
"Zach, who are your parents?" Jessica asked. Zach looked at her.
"I don't remember. All I remember is being found by Daffy on a rubbish heap." Zach replied.
"You were abandoned?" Jessica asked in shock. Zach looked sad.
"Yes. I think I was abandoned when I was 2. I don't remember what life before then was like." Zach replied. Jessica offered him some of her popcorn.
"Have some popcorn." Jessica said.
"Thank you." Zach replied, taking a handful of popcorn.
"At least Daffy and Melissa will take good care of you." Jessica said reassuringly.
"They have done for the past 4 years." Zach replied.
"That's true." Jessica said with a giggle. Zach smiled.
"I'm glad to have a friend like you." Zach said.
"I just wish the others wouldn't pick on you." Jessica replied.
"Do you think I'm ugly?" Zach asked.
"Of course not." Jessica replied. She leant up to Zach's ear.
"On the contrary, I think you're rather cute." Jessica whispered into Zach's ear.
"What's that meant to mean?" Zach asked.
"I'll tell you tomorrow." Jessica replied. Bugs turned to Jessica.
"Jess, when we get back, we have to go to do some shopping. Will you be ok on your own?" Bugs asked.
"Yeah I'll be fine." Jessica replied.
"Ok, we won't be out for very long." Lola added.
"And Zach, I'm making arrangements for you to come round to our house tomorrow." Bugs said to Zach.
"Cool!" Zach exclaimed.
"Thanks daddy." Jessica added.
"No problem, I know how good friends you are," Bugs replied.
"What is there to do at your house?" Zach asked.
"Board games, Annoy Elmer Fudd if he comes, Internet and we have a console to play on." Jessica replied.
"Is it a Nintendo?" Zach asked.
"Yes, a Nintendo Gamecube." Jessica replied.
"Cool. I really want one of those." Zach said.
"Guys, the shows about to start again." Bugs said. Everyone turned their attention to the front of the stage, where the high wire act was about to begin.
When the show finished, everyone had return to the minibus so they could head back to the looniversity so they could meet their parents. This time Bugs was driving and Lola was in the passenger seat. When they got back to the looniversity, Daffy and Melissa were waiting for them. Melissa has a tiny basket resting on her hand. When they got out, Tweety and Aaooga went up to her.
"Here' s your little angel." Melissa said as she gave the basket to Aaooga. The basket contained Tweety and Aaooga's daughter Becky.
"Thanks for looking after her." Tweety said.
"That's ok. Anytime." Melissa replied.
"How was she?" Aaooga asked.
"She was no trouble at all." Melissa replied.
"Well, we'd better be going. We've got some shopping to do." Tweety said.
"See you around." Aaooga added. They flew off to the supermarket. Bugs was talking to Daffy while Lola went off to get the car.
"It's still ok for Zach to come up tomorrow isn't it?" Bugs asked.
"Sure it is." Daffy replied.
"Thanks, both Zach and Jessica will appreciate it." Bugs said.
"Are you busy tonight?" Daffy asked.
"We've got to go to the supermarket but no otherwise." Bugs replied.
"Well, did you guys want to come over to our house for a game of poker?" Daffy asked.
"Sounds fun, I'd better check with Lola if it ok though." Bugs replied, unaware that Lola had pulled up next to him with Jessica in the back seat. She was in a silver Jaguar.
"Count me in." Lola said. Bugs and Daffy turned to her with surprised looks on their faces.
"I didn't know you were there lo." Bugs said in surprise. Lola laughed.
"That's an advantage of driving slowly." Lola replied slyly.
"What time shall we come up?" Lola asked.
"About 8:00." Daffy suggested.
"Ok, that gives us time to do our shopping." Bugs replied.
"Ok, see you then." Daffy said. He went back to Melissa and they took Zach home in a blue Ford Puma.
"Well, we'd better head home as well." Bugs said. He got into the car and they drove off to home, unaware that the wolves had heard where they were going.
"So, they'll be going to the supermarket. Let's go there." Lucius said.
"Which one will they be going to?" Winston asked.
"There's only one in this place." Lupus replied.
"Right, let's head there and wait for them." Lucius said. They got into their black BMW and drove to the supermarket ready to make their attack.
Bugs, Lola and Jessica had arrived back at their burrow. Bugs and Lola opened the door for Jessica and she went in the house.
"Jess, we're now going to the supermarket." Bugs said.
"We shouldn't be any longer than an hour or so." Lola added.
"Ok, see you later." Jessica replied.
"You know where the carrots are if you get hungry." Bugs said.
"Yes I know." Jessica replied. Lola leant down and kissed her on the forehead.
"See you later." Lola said sweetly. Her and Bugs returned to the car and drove off to the supermarket. Jessica went to her room and sat on her bead. Her room was the smallest in the house. Most of the furniture was blue with the exception of a brown chair and desk in the corner. She had a small TV set with a VCR, DVD and Nintendo Gamecube hooked up to it. The TV had a satellite digital box connected to it, which the family had brought after the incident at ACME. Her bed duvet was blue with carrot patterns. Jessica put her school bag underneath the desk in the corner and sat on her bed. After yawning, she reached for the TV remote and flicked through the channels.
"Phew, hardly anything to watch even though there are over 800 channels." Jessica said with a bored tone. She turned to her favourite channel, cartoon network, and found Daffy Duck's Quackbusters was about to start.
"This is a good movie. Mum and Dad will be back before this is finished." Jessica said to herself. She lay down on the bed and watched the TV.
Daffy, Melissa and Zach were driving towards the supermarket as well. Zach was sitting in the back playing with a rubix cube. Daffy was in the drivers seat and Melissa was in the passenger seat.
"Daffy, this thing is hard." Zach complained.
"I know Zach. That rubix cube is probably the most famous puzzle around." Daffy replied.
"Have you solved it?" Zach asked.
"Nope, I think the only one that has is Porky." Daffy replied.
"Where are we going exactly?" Zach asked.
"We need to do some shopping before we go home so we're off to the supermarket." Melissa replied. As she said this, they arrived at the supermarket. They parked up in the car park and stepped out of the car.
"Daffy, I get the feeling that something's going to happen." Zach said.
"Why do you say that?" Daffy asked.
"It's just a feeling." Zach replied.
"It's probably nothing." Melissa said reassuringly.
"I hope you're right." Zach replied. They went into the supermarket and started to look at the DVD's at the entrance. As they entered, the black BMW that was owned by the thugs arrived at the supermarket. The car had been equipped with false number plates to escape detection and the thugs were dressed in black suits to avoid identification. Strangely, there was no one in the car park.
"Well, it's quiet at the moment." Lupus remarked.
"It's perfect. As soon as Bugs and Lola arrive, we'll grab them." Lucius said.
"The boss will be so proud of us." Winston added. They got out of the car and used a grappling line to reach the top of the supermarket. They hid behind the sign on the roof and waited for their targets.
After a few minutes, Bugs and Lola arrived at the supermarket. They parked their car next to Daffy and Melissa's.
"Heh, looks like old Daffy's here as well." Bugs remarked. Lola giggled.
"Come on, let's just hurry up and get this over with so we can have dinner before poker." Lola said.
"Should we take Jessica to our poker game?" Bugs asked.
"We'll ask Daffy if we see him." Lola replied. They walked towards the entrance to the supermarket, unaware that they were being watched by the thugs. As they approached the entrance, a chill went up Bugs' spine.
"Are you ok?" Lola asked when she saw Bugs' expression change. Bugs looked at her.
"Lo, did you ever get the feeling that you were being watched?" Bugs asked.
"That's our queue." Lucius whispered to the other thugs. They jumped down and landed right behind Bugs and Lola. The two rabbits turned around and saw the masked figures behind them. Because of the uniforms, they were completely unrecognisable.
"Eh…what's up doc?" Bugs asked sarcastically.
"We're here for you two." Lucius replied.
"Why?" Lola asked.
"None of your business." Winston replied.
"Sorry, we don't go with unknown businesses." Bugs said. They turned to enter the supermarket but Lupus grabbed Bugs on the shoulder.
"Let go of my husband." Lola said coldly. She punched Lupus in the face.
"Why you BITCH!" Lupus shouted. He tried to punch Lola back but she dodged and kicked Lupus in the groin. Lucius leapt at Lola and pinned her to the ground.
"Get off her!" Bugs shouted. He punched Lucius in the face and forced him off. Daffy, Melissa and Zach heard the commotion from inside.
"What's going on out there?" Daffy asked. They looked outside the doors and saw the struggle taking place. Winston grabbed Lola and pulled her towards him. Bugs ran towards him but stopped when Winston drew a dagger and placed it at Lola's neck. Lola gulped.
"If you care about your wife, you will do exactly as we say." Winston threatened.
"Bugs and Lola are in trouble!" Melissa said in shock. Daffy ran outside and grabbed Winston's arm and forced the dagger away from Lola's neck.
"Not today pal." Daffy said slyly. He threw the dagger to the floor. Winston let go of Lola and grabbed Daffy by the neck.
"Now that you've interfered, I can't let you live." Winston said. He tightened his grip around Daffy and tried to suffocate him. Suddenly, he felt a foot kick him in the back of the head. The owner of the foot was Melissa. She then grabbed Winston by the head, nearly pulling off his mask. While this was happening, Lucius had grabbed both Bugs and Lola and was holding on to them tightly. They struggled but were unable to get away.
"No one is doing anyone harm." Melissa scolded. No one was aware that Lupus had picked up the dagger. Lupus rushed at Melissa and thrust the dagger into her arm. She screamed in pain and let go of Winston. Lupus cornered her against a pillar.
"Sorry dame, you're not doing anything more." Lupus said. Daffy tried to punch him in the back of the head but Winston grabbed him. Winston threw Daffy into the corner where Melissa was. The force of the impact knocked him out and caused a large cut in the back of his head.
"Now for you." Winston said, holding the dagger. He stabbed Melissa once in the side of the chest and forced her head into the wall, knocking her out. At this point, Zach came rushing out armed with a basket. He swung it at Winston and knocked him out
"Meddlers." Lupus muttered. He grabbed Zach and threw his as hard as he could. Zach flew into the pillar where Daffy and Melissa were slumped and was knocked unconscious. Blood was pouring out from all three bodies.
"You monsters!" Lola shouted. Both her and Bugs were trying to struggle free from Lucius' grip but he was too strong. They were thrown into the back of the BMW. Lucius climbed to them, tied them together and gagged them. He then pulled down a blind over the windows so no one could see inside. He then went over to Lupus and Winston.
"We've done what we came for, now let's go to the boss." Lucius said. They helped Winston into the BMW and they drove off, unaware that the whole incident had been seen from above.
(A/N: I said there would be a violent scene at the end. I already know who saw the kidnapping but you're welcome to guess if you want. Now, will Daffy, Melissa and Zach survive? I know but I won't say.)
