Monk-Ham and the Ham-Napping

Prologue

It was night at Maria's villa. Around the house all was in silence. Nobody was there: Neither in the house or close-by. Some lanterns spent sparse light into the night. A friend of Maria has invited her to a pyjama-party and her parents were in the theatre. They have played a so called "neo-liberistic play".

Incidentially all habitants from our Ham-Ham-Gang Hamsters were on the pyjama-party, so the Ham-Ham-Gang has decided to made their own pyjama-party. All except Bijou she felt very ill, so she desided to stay in her cave. Suddenly a big dark Jeep stopped at the approach from the Villa...

Bijou was just awake, cause she had some sort of flu. "That is the result of houses with big rooms: Coldness + draught hamster-flu. Oooh, my head hurts!" At this moment she stopped her thoughts. She heard some noise from the front door. At the same moment angst climbed her soul. A few secounds later, she heard some havy steps on the stairs. In the next moment she saw an big shaddow through the open door. The shaddow had an big flashlight in his hand and illuminated the hall. Then the spot of the flashlight glown directliy into Bijous fearfull eyes. Then the shaddow has taken a blanket, who was next to the cave. She felt, that her cave was taken away...

A few minutes later: A woman who lived across Marias villa, was able to water her poinsettias, as she saw, that an masked person with two bags was running trough an Jeep whitch she never has seen in the neighbourhood. The person step into the Jeep, after she has taken into the trunk of the Jeep, and driven fastly away. The tyres left their traces on the street. Just as the woman was able to call 911, a hard, loud, bang distroyed the silence defintively. Flames were reaching from the living room at the 1st floor into the evening sky. Pieces from the rolling shutter were blown all over the front garden, as well as the glass splinters from the window.

The next morning: Hamtaro thought, that he was the first who wake up (as always, if they gave such parties) and he felt something strange. He couldn't argue why, but he felt, there's something with Bijou. He stood up, stretched himself and must realize, that he wasn't the first, who got up. Boss wasn't under his blanket. Hamtaro walked trough the club house where all Ham Ham's were asleep. He walks into the kitchen, to get some breakfast. Boss wasn' in the club house. 'he's might went out to take a walk', Hamtaro thought by himself.

Hamtaro opened the kitchen cabinet. He took some sunflower seeds out and went back to the kitchen table. Hamtaro was able to take a bit, as Muuknus went in. The mighty hamster with a cow-look-a-like-fur wishes Hamtaro a good morning and took a seat. Hamtaro greets back and took a seat. Muuknus started to talk: "Hey, Hamtaro! How do you liked these party?" before he could answer, Muuknus talked further, without breathing: "The bilnd man's bluff was SO exiting! I can't get enough from this! How do you liked it? It was so funny! And the evening-picknick after that... unbelievable! How do you..." Muuknus!" Hamtaro sharply said. Then he paused to calm down: "Yes, all was good yesterday, but... I don't know... I'm worried about Bijou... and Boss. She will be well as soon as possible, i'm sure. But Boss... Yesterday he wasn't so sad like he was as Bijou thought, she were going back to France. But he wasn't so lucky at all. I think, he is very worried about her. Do you have seen him today? He maybe went out to come clear with this situation."

Hamtaro looked at the clock, which earlier has been a crown cap. "Jesus! Laura will be back from her pjyama party! I hope, I'm not too late! Bye Muuknus!" "Bye Hamtaro!"

Hamtaro doesn't knew how right he was: Boss, who was secretly crushed into Bijou, was worried about Bijou. So he couldn't sleep well at night. He went out the club house and walked to Bijou's villa. The sun was able to get up and dipped the town into a blaze-like red. As he arrived at the villa, he was completly shocked: Around the house was an yellow band with the inscription: "CRIME SCENE – DO NOT CROSS THE LINE. Boss' were in horror. He fastly climb at a tree, who was standing in the near from the house. He saw the bounced, grimed windows and the police cars and fire engines, which were standing around the scene. Police officers talked together about these case. Two Lieutnants arrived at the scene. Boss couldn't hear, what they're talking about. Boss could only imagine, what's happend. And these thoughts filled up Boss' eyes with tears...

Hamtaro was just right: Laura wasn't at home as he climbed back into his cave. A few minuits later Laura came into his room. She was a little bit sad. She took a seat on her bed. She looks a little bit sad. "Hi, Hamtaro" she spoke with a dolefully accent. Hamtaro who has just left his Hamster-house, looked at Laura's face with a "what-happend-look". Laura looked back to Hamtaro and – somehow – she could see what he's able to think at this moment. "It' Maria. Her parents have picked up her from the pyjama party. The police have called her as they were in the theatre. Maria has said, that their house burned down. I feel with her." Hamtaros heart stands still. He was tinking about Maria, her parents and at least Bijou...Bijou! What's about her? The house burned down, and she was in! Hamtaro silently started to cry.
