REVIEW RESPONSE

acosta pérez josé ramiro: To answer your question, Brendan shares no relation to Sleety. He just dumped Sylvester at the mansion. Either way, thanks for the review. FoxFang and Cub may need their defences again but in this chapter, they're in trouble indirectly. You may have an idea of what I mean.

Rock Raider: I have to admit, I never thought of Sylvester being found by the ghosts when I wrote that last chapter. And you're right, the memory altering device is pretty much the same from Trace Memory (called Another Code: Two Memories over here, but I think you knew that).

Nightw2: Glad you liked the chapter. There will be less action in this chapter but more drama. Hope you like it.

PurpleCobra247: Brendan's motives will come a bit clearer in a future chapter, as well as his super villain name but he only had one real motive. I'm glad you like it so far.

Shirley and the police

The next morning, Penelope had come round to Sylvester's house, like she normally did. When she arrived, she found that Sylvester hadn't cleaned up the lounge from what had happened last night. She didn't know what had happened so when she saw the mess, she began to panic a little. She cared for Sylvester deeply and worried for his safety. Ever since they had been dating, he had been in more dangerous trouble than he had been in before. The first room she ran into to try and find him was his bedroom. She found him fast asleep on his bed. When she saw him, she gave a sigh of relief. Even though he was asleep, Sylvester's body position suggested that he was troubled by something. Penelope looked at him and then had a look at the clock on the wall. It was 10:00 and Sylvester would normally be awake for her arrival by now. Penelope contemplated the thought of rubbing his shoulder to wake him but before she could, Sylvester began fidgeting in his sleep. Penelope juts watched as Sylvester kept on moving. He was obviously dreaming but it didn't look like a very pleasant dream. Penelope could see some sweat building up on Sylvester's body. Suddenly, and without any warning, Sylvester woke up. Sweat dripping from his body. He looked around in a state of panic but sighed when he saw Penelope.

"Sylvester, are you ok?"

"Penelope, when did you come in?"

"Just a few minutes ago. I was worried. Your door was unlocked and your lounge was a mess."

"Sorry, I have just had a terrible night." Penelope came over and sat on his bed next to him.

"What happened?" Sylvester sat up in bed and looked at Penelope deeply. He could safely tell her about what had happened. He trusted her more than anyone.

"Well, I was watching a movie last night before going to bed but then someone entered the house. I turned and saw a black rabbit standing there."

"Did you recognise him?"

"He looked familiar but I couldn't recognise him. The last I remember of that particular moment was blacking out after being clubbed on the head."

"Do you remember what happened after that?"

"The next thing I remember was being found by FoxFang at the mansion of the Valetta's."

"The mansion where we were trapped before Tweety and Aaooga's wedding?"

"Yeah."

"What happened after that?"

"He and Cub took me to his base and asked me about the incident. I then remembered owing Brendan Rabbit a large amount of money for no reason."

"What?"

"I don't understand it wither. I'm not going to do anything until I have an explanation."

"Good idea. Anyway, what happened after that?"

"Well, FoxFang and Cub brought me home and then I went to bed."

"But when I came in, you awoke in a sweat."

"Oh that. I'd just had a very bad dream." Penelope came closer and sat right next to Sylvester and out an arm around him. She also wrapped her tail around his back.

"What happened?"

"I was trapped in some dark thin tube. I couldn't even see my hand in front of my face. I then felt something enter my head. I felt unbearable agony and heard terrifying moans in my head. I began to sweat and began to struggle. It was about then I woke up and saw you."

"Oh my, you did have a rough night. Are you ok now?"

"Very shaken. I don't know what to do?"

"Well, I'll stay with you today so you won't be lonely ok?"

"Penelope, thank you."

"Hey, that's what I'm here for. I care about you." Penelope moved so she was now facing Sylvester and she fell unto his arms. They looked at each other for a moment before they eventually kissed.

Roughly at 12:00 in the police station, officers Richard and Rebecca Yang were discussing their current situation. The office had a stock of filing cabinets in the room. These cabinets contained information about most of the criminals that had appeared in the city, including Pranker, Miss. Ice and Swackhammer. FoxFang also had a file in this cabinet. The file was virtually empty, as she left no evidence behind. Only witness reports of when police officers had seen her were in the file. All these reports referred to FoxFang as a male. There was also a desk in the room. A computer, which had access to all the details of the citizens, was on the desk. They used this computer to search for people who owned pet Foxes. They had spent the morning visiting and interviewing everyone in the city that owned a pet fox. However, none of the owners' matched FoxFang's physical description, they were all too big. A couple of the foxes they had met did have vicious temperaments. The main difficulty was that they couldn't tell what species of Fox FoxFang used, and there was quite a variety in the city, from Bat-eared Foxes to Arctic Foxes. Richard was sitting on a chair near the desk drinking a cup of coffee while Rebecca was at the computer searching for any more pet foxes that they hadn't checked. Richard was actually disturbed about the whole situation. He was thinking of their confrontation with FoxFang the night before. It was the first time they had met FoxFang and they didn't know that she had flash bangs to get herself out of trouble. More importantly, he didn't see a fox at all. The only evidence were the bite marks from the safecrackers FoxFang had apprehended. Most of the citizens had seen the fox as well but none of them came forward. They secretly disagreed with the police's hatred to FoxFang but dared not protest out of fear of arrest. Richard and Rebecca didn't know that the majority of the police were on the citizens' side. As far as they were concerned, FoxFang was a vigilante and therefore, a criminal.

"Richard, there's another fox for us to check out." Rebecca said.

"Really?"

"Yeah. An Arctic Fox called Prince."

"Owner?"

"A Miss. Shirley McLoon."

"What's her record like?"

"Very spot clean. She's a law abiding citizen and hasn't been arrested for any reason."

"Anything we should know about her?" Rebecca had a closer look at Shirley's profile.

"Ah, according to this, she's a powerful psychic. Renown across the whole city."

"Great, perhaps she could identify FoxFang for us."

"I suppose. She does give fortune telling sessions, and they are very successful."

"Any idea what she can do?"

"It says that no one is completely sure."

"Anyway, let's give it a try."

"Ok, we'll go after lunch."

At about 1:30, Plucky and Shirley were busy eating lunch in Shirley's house. They were busy eating tuna sandwiches. Prince was near the table eating his own food. He was fed on ACME fox and wolf mix, containing all the essential nutrients needed for a fox to grow. It was lemming flavour. Shirley was also watching the clock getting slowly more anxious. She had foreseen that the police would come and was worried about the upcoming conversation. She knew that they wanted to ask her to identify FoxFang but she wasn't sure of what she would say. She had told Plucky about what was going to happen and he was worried as well.

"Shirley, what should we do when the police get here?"

"I don't know. I know that they'll want me to identify FoxFang."

"Something that we'd never do."

"Exactly."

"Well, couldn't you just refuse?"

"Refuse?"

"Well, you have refused people before if their reason isn't just."

"You actually have an idea. It is a free country after all."

"What should I do while they're here?" Before Shirley could answer, there was a knocking on the front door. Prince lifted his head and looked towards the door. Plucky and Shirley looked as well.

"That must be them now. You just act like you normally would ok." Plucky nodded as Shirley stood up and went towards the front door. Prince just stayed where he was and watched. Shirley opened the door and saw Richard and Rebecca waiting. They were actually surprised to see that Shirley was a duck.

"Miss. Shirley McLoon?" Rebecca asked.

"Yes, can I help you?" Shirley asked. Richard pulled out is wallet and showed his police badge.

"Detectives Richard and Rebecca Yang of the freak capture squad. We're following a lead on the 'who is FoxFang' case and like to ask you some questions." Shirley was a little concerned even though she had seen it coming. She remained calm and collected.

"Ok, come on in." Shirley allowed Richard and Rebecca to enter her house and showed them to her living room. Richard and Rebecca sat down on the sofa and Shirley sat next to them.

"Shirley, what we've been doing is interviewing everyone who owns a pet fox of any specie and we have on our records that you have a pet fox here." Richard began.

"Yeah, he's an Arctic Fox called Prince. Would you like to meet him?" Richard and Rebecca nodded. Shirley whistled and Prince came running into the room. He jumped up and onto Shirley's lap.

"You know, it's highly unusual for a duck to have a pet fox." Shirley just laughed a little.

"I've been unusual my whole life."

"Oh, anyway, what kind of temperament does Prince have?"

"Gentle. He won't harm anyone and loves people making a fuss of him." Richard hesitantly moved his hand closer to Prince's head. Prince moved his head closer to Richard's hand and allowed him to stroke him on the head.

"I see what you mean."

"This fox is definitely not used by FoxFang." Rebecca said.

"Oh well, but we've tried every fox in the city now."

"What is this about?" Shirley asked.

"We're trying to identify FoxFang." Rebecca replied.

"We were actually hoping if…" Richard began.

"If I could identify him for you?" Shirley asked.

"Err…yeah."

"Can I ask why?" Richard decided to try and lie, forgetting that Shirley was psychic.

"We were thinking about forming an alliance with him." Shirley already knew what they wanted and wasn't fooled.

"Look, it's no use trying to lie to a psychic. You want to arrest FoxFang don't you?"

"Damm, you saw through me."

"Look, if that's why you want me to identify FoxFang, I won't help you."

"Why not?"

"Anyone with half a brain cell will realise that this city needs FoxFang. If it wasn't for him, the city would be in a criminal mess and the bunny family might be dead right now. That's why I haven't even tried to identify him, and I doubt I ever will try."

"Look, if you refuse…" Richard shut up when Shirley produced an energy bolt.

"Look, I am a law-abiding citizen. I never probe people's minds unless it is an emergency but if you cannot understand that, I will hurt you."

"Richard stop. We obviously can't force her and even I'll pass on fighting a psychic." Rebecca said.

"Ok, I won't say any more." Richard replied reluctantly. Shirley made the energy bolt disappear.

"Shirley, we must go now. Thank you for your time." Shirley then had an idea that would hopefully get the police off FoxFang's back. She put a hand on Richard's shoulder to stop him leaving. Richard and Rebecca both turned and looked at Shirley.

"Before you go, I wish to show you something." Shirley said. She outstretched her arm and her crystal ball floated out of her bedroom and landed on the desk nearby them. Shirley went around to the other side of the desk and gazed into the ball.

"I wish to show you what would become of this city if FoxFang was arrested. Gaze into the crystal ball." Richard and Rebecca gazed into the crystal ball as Shirley entered a trance. They saw the city as it would be in one year's time and if FoxFang had been unmasked and arrested. The whole city was virtually in ruin and constant fires were burning. The citizens were rebelling against the police and destroying the main police building. Thugs and other criminals practically ran the city now. It had become a completely lawless city. There was also a view of the city graveyard. Amongst them were the graves of all the Looney Tunes and their children. Flowers aligned all the graves and there were still people there grieving over the loss. At this point, the image faded and Shirley came out of her trance. Richard and Rebecca were obviously disturbed by what they had seen. While Shirley had not shown them who FoxFang was, she had shown them that arresting FoxFang would be a terrible mistake. Richard and Rebecca left Shirley's house with incredible doubts in their mind. They were terribly stricken by Shirley's prophecy. They now had doubts about whether the chief was right to order FoxFang's arrest.

That evening the team gathered in the Foxcave at 9:00, earlier than normal. Jessica and Zach had been mainly resting during the day, while Jessica was searching through maps away from her parent's eyes to try and find Blood Rabbit Island. She had had no success in doing so and as such had decided on another method. Bugs had gone to a business meeting with some managers with other schools while Lola was at the theatre with some friends. Jessica had told them that she'd be asleep when they would be back to cover for what she had intended for tonight. Daffy and Melissa had gone to bed earlier than normal. Melissa had been ill all day and needed an early night. While he was worried about his adoptive mother, it had worked in Zach's favour and allowed him to get to the Foxcave earlier. Egghead Jr. was working on some special storage cupboards for the FoxFang and Cub outfits. They would be registered to the respective owner's handprint scan so nobody else could open them. They were designed like that just in case of intruders. The Foxcave did have an intruder alarm that was linked to the Fangwave's to alert people if there was an intruder but they needed as much security as possible, as well as being in a secret location. They hoped that they didn't need the alarm but it was better to be safe then sorry. The group were currently sitting near the main computer. They were looking at Jessica, waiting for her to tell everyone about another, which she had mentioned the night before. King was sitting next to Shirley and looking at her as well. Shirley wanted to tell Jessica and Zach about her confrontation with the police but decided to wait until Jessica was finished.

"Well, I'll say that it is nice that we were able to gather together earlier than normal, and it's a good thing as there's something I need to do tonight." Jessica began.

"Jess, why are you here so early?" Plucky asked.

"Dad's at a business meeting and Mum's with some friends."

"Oh, and what about you Zach?"

"Melissa's not feeling well so she and Daffy had an early night." Zach replied.

"Wow, I hope she'll be ok."

"So do I."

"Oh Jess, we had a bit of an incident with the police earlier." Shirley glared at Plucky but refrained from hurting him.

"What kind of incident?" Jessica asked.

"The police wanted me to help them identify you." Shirley replied.

"And you refused right?" Zach asked.

"Not only did I refuse, I terrified them."

"How?"

"I showed them what the city would be like if they did manage to get you two."

"And what sort of things did you show them?" Jessica asked.

"The city in ruins, the citizens rebelling against the police, the city completely lawless and your parents, their friends and even you guys dead."

"That would happen if we got captured?"

"Yes."

"Then we must be even more careful now."

"Hopefully, what I showed them will make them think twice about arresting you."

"Hope so."

"Anyway, weren't you going to tell us about another?" Zach asked.

"Oh yeah. I believe that whoever is behind this memory thing with Sylvester is using another to modify his memory." Jessica replied.

"Modify his memory?"

"Yeah, my grandfather developed another to find my grandmother's killer."

"What exactly can another do?"

"It can replay memories and create false memories to replace true memories."

"Why would he do that?"

"He wanted to help people who were suffering from a bad memory, like war victims. He would remove the bad memory and replace it with a different one in the hope that they could live happier lives."

"But no such device has been announced." Plucky protested.

"That was because someone wanted another for the wrong purposes."

"Who was he?" Shirley asked.

"His name was Dave Rabbit. He was the last of a wealthy family that lived on Blood Rabbit Island."

"Where?"

"Blood Rabbit Island. I tried to find it but had no luck, but that is where another was built."

"Some name." Plucky muttered.

"So it should still be there." Zach said.

"Should be, and so should the person behind this." Jessica replied

"Do you still suspect Brendan Rabbit?"

"Yeah. If we find him on that island, that will be all the proof we need."

"But if you don't know where the island is, how are we going to find it?"

"Zach, I don't know where the island is, but I know someone who does."

A/N: Ok, the next chapter, I will be revealing Brendan's super villain name. But until that chapter is posted, you're welcome to guess.
