Boss Battle

When Lola regained consciousness, she found herself inside a cavern. Last thing she remembered was being carried off by the green bubble. She looked around and the cavern had strange rock formations. The cave was lighted by torches attached to the walls. She looked behind her and there were metal doors leading to who knows where. There was no sign of anyone in there with her. Lola got up and took note of any damage on her person. She had a few cuts and bruises here and there but she was ok. She had lost her laser gun back in the castle and had only one more of the metal spheres left. The field projector was gone since she used it on the kids. One of the thrusters on the jetpack was damaged from the shot it took earlier, and it wasn't good enough to fly. She still had the communicator on her head, but it was useless since she couldn't get a signal out, which was probably due to the amount of iron in the mountains. She was going to have to find a way out on her own. Just then she heard a creepy, spine tingling laugh.

"Who's there!" demanded Lola

"Welcome to the Maze Cave, a special hidden training course for elite members of the Iron Claw,"

She looked around herself. The echoes in the cavern seemed to make it as though he was all around her.

"I'm giving you one last chance," said Roadster still hidden in the shadows

"I've told you my answer," responded Lola

"No, no. This is my FINAL offer. If you can make it out of this maze cave alive, you can go free. But if I find you first, you'll either a) join me or b) become my dinner,"

"What!"

"You heard me,"

"You're sick,"

"I'm not sick; just wild. Tell you what, I'll be a sport. I'll use no weapons whatsoever. I'll give you a head start. When I reach 100, the hunt will begin,"

The metal doors opened, revealing dimly lit tunnels.

"1…" counted Roadster

Lola had no choice but to play by his game once more, she picked the center tunnel and started running.

"2…Skip a few…99…100. Ready or not, here I come!"

Lola was running through the tunnels, she was trying to use her scanner to find a way out. However it wasn't getting clear enough readings. She came to a fork in the tunnels. She guessed and turned left. She heard the sound of footsteps behind her getting closer and closer and faster and faster. She kept running. She came to a room filled with stalactites and stalagmites. She ran towards the other side of the room. She suddenly sensed something and instinctively ducked. Roadster had lunged himself at her, but he missed. He came at her again. She blocked the first punch then countered with punches of her own. He tried one massive punch, but he missed when Lola did a split to dodge the blow. He drove his hand right through the stalagmite behind her. Lola rolled over and jumped up. In the process she kicked him hard enough to send him flying towards a stalagmite. Lola took that chance to run away hidden amongst the stalagmites. Roadster shook his head and regained himself. He got up and continued his chase.

Lola found a way out of the room and continued running through the tunnels. Roadster was once again behind her. Lola turned a corner and found a dead end. She turned around and there was Roadster staring her down. He ran at her but she dodged him. She then kicked him and then punched him in the chin. But then he grabbed her by her arms and lifted her up. He spun her around and threw her to the wall. But Lola rebounded off the wall and delivered a swift kick in his face. He fell and impacted the ground. As she took a step back to turn and run, he grabbed her foot causing her to fall. He grasped onto her boot, not letting her go.

"Give up!" he said

"Never!" she shot back

He tried to grab her other foot, but she kicked his claw away. She then took out the last remaining sphere and flicked it into his mouth. Roadster screamed in pain as surges of electricity filled his body. Lola kicked him off, got up and ran.

Meanwhile…

Bugs and DJ had gone into the forest to search the wreckage of the jet plane to salvage whatever could have survived the crash. The other jets had retreated to refuel and re-arm themselves to try another attack and were due back any moment. Bugs found what was left of the ship. It was all heaps of twisted metal. Some parts of it were still burning.

"Yikes, what a mess," said Bugs

"I'm sure glad we got out of there in time," said DJ

DJ rummaged through the debris. He found what was left of the cargo area where he kept his weapons and gadgets.

"Hey! I still have my jetpack! Awesome!" he exclaimed as he pulled it out from the wreck

"Any weapons?" asked Bugs

"Umm, no this stuff is mostly for defensive purposes," he said taking out the shield and force field projectors from the debris.

"Oh, Lola" muttered Bugs to himself, looking back towards the castle, "I want to help, but seeing our predicament, I don't know how I could."

"I know what you mean…" overheard DJ, and then an electronic sound was heard, "hey! I'm picking up something on my scanner…"

"Yeah, I see sometin' too," said Bugs

DJ looked in the direction of the castle and spotted a large blue bubble heading their way.

"Take cover!" yelled DJ jumping into the bushes

Bugs stood where he was. When the bubble was close enough, at first Bugs was shocked and then overjoyed when he saw the contents of the bubble.

"Tanya! Sean!" he called out

"Daddy!" called out the twins

"Huh?" said DJ, "how is it that they're inside a force field? Hmm…must've been Lola."

DJ used his communicator to deactivate the bubble and the kids landed safely plop on the ground. Bugs came to them and picked them up in his arms.

"Are you ok kids?" he asked

"We're ok," they answered

"I'm so happy you're safe!" he said as he held them close. Tanya and Sean clung to their father, with tears swelling in their eyes.

"What's wrong? Where's mom?" he asked

"The green bubble took her away!" said Tanya

"Green bubble?" asked Bugs

"Uh huh…w-w-we were flying out of the castle…and the big green bubble w-w-was shooting at us…and it…and it…hit mommy and swallowed her up!" said Sean struggling to fight back his tears

"Where did it take her?" asked Bugs sternly

"It flew into the mountains," answered Tanya

"DJ, can you reach her?" asked Bugs very demandingly

"Lola, come in. Lola?" communicated DJ, "No, all I get is static."

"What does dat mean?"

"I don't know Bugs, I honestly don't know…" said DJ becoming worried

"Is mommy gonna come back?" asked Sean

Bugs faced Sean. The look in the little boy's eyes was so frightened and innocent, that Bugs couldn't bear to answer him.

Elsewhere…

Lola was still running through the maze cave. After heading down a corridor, she found herself in a room with a high ceiling. There was an array of medieval weapons on the walls. As she walked further into the room, the sound of a chain rattling was heard and a giant cage dropped over her. She was trapped inside four cage walls, with an open air top. Suddenly, Roadster jumped in and stood in front of her. He approached her slowly, with Lola keeping her eyes on him as she backed away. He gave her a crooked smile before delivering the first move. Lola dodged him then kicked him towards the wall. He turned around and started to throw punches at her. Lola got in the punches and jabbed him painfully in the gut, then followed through with an uppercut on the chin when he held his stomach in pain from the previous jab. However as he fell backwards onto the wall, he latched himself onto one of the bars and flipped up, kicking Lola back in the process. Lola staggered back. He then launched himself from the wall to deliver a flying punch. Lola fell and crashed to the floor. He then jumped up and tried a stomp, but Lola rolled out of the way. When he pounded the ground, Lola swooped kicked him to make him fall down. They both jumped up at the same time and tried to kick the other. But Roadster did a faker and punched Lola instead. She fell towards one of the walls. Roadster then grabbed her and thrust her so that she was facing the wall. He was about to punch her in her back when he felt something thrust into his abdomen. It was the handle of a battle axe! Lola had been able to reach it and thrust the handle through one of the openings to get him off of her. Lola kicked him and sent him back, she then pulled on the handle and broke it off the axe portion, which couldn't fit through the opening. She then used it to slam him on the back. She then swung it to send him flying towards the wall.

"Home run!" said Lola

She then jumped off of him to give herself a boost to climb the cage. She climbed to the top then jumped down. She ran towards the door and down the hallway, with her makeshift bat in hand.

Lola ended up in a room full of platforms, suspended by chains over a large pit filled with flames. She saw that she had to jump from platform to platform to reach the other side. She stepped back and then jumped towards one of the platforms then leaped towards the next. When she reached the middle Roadster jumped onto the platform out of nowhere. Lola was taken by surprise but she then got on the defensive. Roadster didn't make a move. He looked menacing with the light of the flames forming a shadow on his brow.

"You used weapons, that was uncalled for," he said glaring at her

"Oh, it was very called for, you said that YOU weren't going to use no weapons whatsoever, that didn't include me," she said not losing eye contact

"Humph, smart girl. Which begs the question: Why are you running away from the Iron Claw? Why are you running away from me?"

"That's two questions," she said keeping her cool and folding her arms

"I am the Iron Claw!" he growled, "answer me!"

"Well let's see, does threatening me with: 'becoming my dinner' ring a bell? You psycho,"

"How can you deny the Iron Claw?" asked Roadster ignoring that last comment

"Simple, I can and I am," responded Lola firmly

"The Iron Claw offers you power. Power that the Force could never give you, and you know it! That old geezer of a boss you have is too much of a control freak,"

"You really shouldn't be talking,"

"That's the reason I left,"

"Now that's just you,"

"We're not too different, you and I. I know for a fact that you disapprove of the Boss. You should just forget him, forget the Force. Become my successor to the Iron Claw, and I know you can do great things,"

"I may argue with him a lot. I may sometimes go beyond his command, but I respect him,"

"Bull!"

"Think what you want. There's not a snowball's chance in heck that I'm gonna join you, especially after what you've done to me!"

Lola was the first to attack. She whacked him with the handle and she then kicked him in the side. Roadster came with punches at her. Lola blocked them with the handle and struck back with it. He then karate chopped the handle and head-butted her. He then charged at her, but Lola jumped over him then jumped to the next platform. He jumped to that platform as well. He came at her again with punches. But Lola dodged them, grabbed onto the chain that held the platform, swung around and kicked him with both feet in his gut. Roadster fell down on all fours gasping for breath, he struggled to say something.

"Now you're dead meat!" he growled

He glared at her than ran after her. He bared his claws and proceeded with a slash attack. Lola dodged the first swipes but he managed to scratch her arm. When Lola held her arm, Roadster was going to strike her face. But Lola was quick to take off her jetpack and use it as a shield. Roadster tried more slashes, but Lola blocked them all with her jetpack. He then used both of his claws to grab the jetpack.

"I'm gonna eat you!" he growled

"Eat this!" she said activating the functional thruster. The blast knocked Roadster to the air, but lucky for him he landed on one of the other platforms. Lola threw the now useless jetpack at him then ran and jumped towards the next platform, to the other and the other, and ran through the tunnel at the end of the room. Roadster was enraged, but soon realized he was going to need more of an edge to catch her.

"I know! I'll increase the level of the collar," he thought, remembering that he only had set it on the second level.

He turned the knob that was at the back of the collar. He increased it to the maximum level. He felt a series of violent convulsions enter his body. He squirmed on the floor, feeling his body grow and his strength increase unbearably. When his boost was over, not only was his body different, but his mind had transformed as well. He couldn't remember who he really was or what he was doing in the cave at all. All he felt was an urge for food, an urge… for rabbit. He sniffed the air to pick up the scent of his prey. He got it. He licked his jaws then jumped easily from platform to platform and went in the direction of her scent.

Lola was running through a new section of the maze. She then saw a different form of light in the path she was on. It was sunlight! She approached it and saw that it came from a crevice in the wall; it was actually an airshaft to the outside. The space was very small and cramped, but it was her only way out. She climbed into it and started to crawl her way to the top. As she was approaching the top, her communicator had a signal.

"Yes!" she exclaimed, "Broadcast distress signal!"

The communicator sent out a signal to the nearest Force Agent.

Back at the wreckage…

Bugs was comforting his children while DJ was pacing back and forth. DJ suddenly received a transmission from his communicator.

"Somebody…there? Hello?" said the voice between static

"Lola?" he answered

Bugs and the kids heard him and were glad to know that she was still alive.

"Did the kids… make it there?" she asked

"Yeah, everyone's here," replied DJ

"Is she alright? Where is she?" asked Bugs

"Where are you? Are you ok?" asked DJ

"Not too good… I'm not sure exactly where I am... I'm trapped in this…ahh!"

"What's going on? Lola! Lola! Come in!"

The weak signal was completely lost. DJ looked at Bugs, telling him this wasn't good. Bugs already knew that. He knew he had to do something.

"What happened?" asked Tanya, "Is mommy ok?"

"She's gonna be fine, I promise," said Bugs patting her head

Elsewhere…

Lola had felt something clasp onto her boot, and it was pulling her back in. She tried to climb out, but she was yanked right out of the air shaft. When she landed in the inside of the cave, she met eyes with a fiercer and beastly looking McFox.

"What the…" began Lola, but was cut off when Roadster pounced in an attempt to bite her. Lola grasped onto his jaws, keeping them away from her neck, as she struggled with him. Roadster pushed her off by striking her with his claw. Lola fell backwards, with a rip on her suit. Roadster came at her again. Lola rolled over then jumped up to start running. The now faster Roadster chased. Lola came up to a wall. She jumped up, stepped on the wall, kicked off it to do a back flip and land behind Roadster. Roadster didn't realize what happened and soon found himself kissing the wall. He shook off the blow and looked for Lola, whom already left the premises. He sniffed the air once more and followed her scent.

Meanwhile…

DJ then became more serious. He made a call on his communicator,

"Agents, do you read me? Are you on your way back?" he asked

"Yes sir, we are almost there," answered a voice

"We need to attack now, come in ready battle formation alpha,"

"Roger, commence formation alpha,"

"On my signal,"

The sounds of engines roared and the kids looked around in curiosity. They turned around and looked up, they saw the fleet of Force jet planes heading towards them. They zoomed over their heads, in the direction of the castle.

"Wow," said Tanya

"Cool!" exclaimed Sean

"Now!" commanded DJ

The jets began the assault. The first row of planes aimed towards the outer walls of the castle. The second row aimed for the towers. The last row fired upon the interior structures. It was an impressive light show with all the explosions and fires on the castle.

"Yeah!" cheered Tanya

"This is so awesome!" said Sean, "Right dad? Dad?"

Elsewhere…

Lola was running through the cave. Suddenly the ground in front of her opened revealing a trap door; she had just stopped inches away from the edge. The bottom of the pit was filled with an array of sharp spears. She looked across and it was a long jump toward the other side. Lola took a few steps back then ran towards the pit. When she jumped, rather than going straight, she went diagonally towards the wall. She bounced off it and then jumped off the opposite wall in the same manner. She landed on the other ledge safely. She saw Roadster on the other side. Lola thought that it would be more difficult for him to cross the pit the way she did. Yet her confidence was short lived when Roadster didn't stop running, he jumped off the ledge.

"Oh crap…" muttered Lola

Roadster soared over the pit and landed on the ledge. Roadster came at her. Lola jumped out of the way. Yet he kept coming. Lola kept dodging. She then took a torch from one of the walls and used it to drive him back. Lola kept swinging the torch as she backed away from him. Roadster kept his distance, but he followed her. At the right moment, Roadster saw his chance and snapped at her. He caught the torch between his jaws and yanked it out of her hands. Lola ran in the opposite direction. He threw the torch away. He followed her. Lola turned a corner and found herself at a dead end. She turned around and saw Roadster there, he approached her slowly. Lola was taking steps back ready to dodge when he made his move. However they both failed to notice the ground cracking. Lola's back met with the wall and she was cornered. Then Roadster stopped, sniffed the ground and took steps back. Lola looked down and saw a large crack forming beneath her. The floor gave way and she fell through.

"Ahh!" she screamed

She crashed onto slanted ground, and went rolling down to the bottom of the labyrinth. She was in extreme pain, and tried to get up. With great effort she was able to get to her feet. She looked around and saw that she was at the bank of an underground lake inside the cavern. There was also a pair of huge steel doors behind her. She then heard the sound of footsteps. It was roadster sliding down the hill! He reached the bottom then ran at her. He jumped in the air to pounce her, but Lola fell backwards and used her legs to push him off and into water. He fell in with a large splash. Lola was on the ground; she turned over and looked onto the lake. The water grew still. Lola sighed in relief. Suddenly Roadster, now in his normal form, splashed out of the water directly in front of her. Before she could react he grabbed her by her neck and lifted her up.

"You little tramp!" he yelled

Lola was gasping for air, trying to pry his hands off of her.

"It's useless. You're too weak and tired, so I'll do you a favor," he said turning around and thrusting her into the water, "Ha ha ha! Now you're sleeping with the fishes!"

Lola kicked and struggled to get free, but she was exhausted. The splashing she created was slowing down. Roadster grinned as victory seemed to be his. But then he heard a sound.

"McFox!" yelled a voice

Roadster looked around and couldn't see anyone. But then he saw the steel doors open and a wave of water coming trough. He was swept up by the wave. The wave went through that cave and down a passage way, following the underground river into to a lower chamber. The wave spilled over the edge of the floor and into a bottomless pit. Roadster, however, washed onto the side gasping for air. He lost his grip on Lola when the wave hit him and she was nowhere to be seen. He got up and then felt something strike his back and he fell face front. He struggled to his feet but the burning sensation on his back made it painfully difficult. He looked further ahead and saw a pair of black heels. He looked up and saw who it was, and it wasn't a pleasant surprise.

"Purrson!" he said, "what are you…ahh!"

Purrson had given him a kick on the side. She wasn't too happy to see him either.

"You tried to kill me!" she said kicking him again

She was about to shoot again with her weapon but Roadster got out of the way and got up to strike. However Bally held her laser gun at him. He stared her down.

"You must be kidding," he said sternly

"I'm not afraid of you!" she yelled

"Oh?" he said not removing his ice cold stare

"I…" she said beginning to shake

He cracked an evil grin but Bally's face turned to anger and she clasped the gun with both hands and pulled the trigger. Roadster easily slapped it away before she shot and grabbed her.

"I'd expect my people to do better than that," he said throwing her to the side, "no wonder the original plan failed."

Bally struggled to her feet and faced him but he came at her again. He kicked her and then lifted her over his head.

"Put me down!" she yelled

"As you insist," he said

He walked over to the ledge and was about to throw her over.

"No!" she screamed in desperation

Then out of nowhere, he felt himself being thrown to the side. He dropped Bally on the ground. They both looked up and saw Lola standing there, with her drenched uniform, fists clenched and glaring at them both.

"You saved me!" exclaimed Bally

"Actually, I was kinda hoping you both fell over," said Lola

"Bitch,"

"Likewise,"

At that moment, Roadster got to his feet and faced Lola.

"You just don't give up do you?"

"Nope," she said shaking her head

"I like that attitude, it's a shame really. A shame that you have to die!" he yelled moving in on the attack

Lola blocked the first shots then countered with a high kick and a left cross. She continued with punch in the face and a jab in the chest. Roadster retaliated by kneeing her then kicking her up into the air. Lola fell towards the ground, but she kicked up and hit him in the abdomen. She jumped up and grabbed him by his shoulders, and kneed him in the chest. Roadster pushed her off and bared his claws once more. He started slashing at her and landed a few hits. Lola dodged one strike, but he managed to rip her tie that held her ears back. She flipped backwards to dodge the other strike. She then managed to grab his claw and twist his hand. She flipped him over and he impacted the ground on his back. He kicked her knee and she stumbled a little, he then kicked her in her side, causing her to fall over. Roadster then jumped up and tried to punch her face but she blocked it with her ears. She then kicked him away and got up. He got up and tried to tackle her, but she leaped frog over him. He came for a round of punches but Lola blocked each one. He managed to clasp both of her arms, and held them down. He attempted a head butt, but Lola kneed him in the stomach. When he crouched over, she grabbed him by his neck with her ears and tossed him over her head and slammed into the ground, Sindel style. He recovered from that hit and advanced at her again.

The battle continued with blow after blow and hit after hit. Bally gazed at the battle, with anger in her eyes. She looked around and spotted her laser gun. She went towards it and grabbed it. She turned around and aimed towards the two fighters. Yet she was having a dilemma; she didn't know which one to kill first; the one who foiled her mission in the first place or the one who attempted to kill her twice. She just made her decision when Roadster had managed to lift Lola in the air. He threw her and Lola crashed into Bally, causing them both to fall to the ground. Lola was still on the ground when Bally got up, who was enraged.

"That's it!" she yelled

She uncovered a small device that resembled a control remote from her sleeve.

"I'll kill you both!"

She pressed the button then the ground began to shake. She made a run for it, but Roadster caught up with her. He clasped her in his claws and glared.

"What are you doing!" he growled

"Getting my revenge," she answered with a smirk on her face

A loud explosion was heard.

"What was that!" he demanded

"I've rigged the entire cave with explosives,"

"Are you crazy!"

"I'm the only one here who knows the safe way out,"

"Tell me!"

"Can't,"

"Why not?"

"Cause I'm crazy. But you're nuts," she said kicking him in the groin

He let her go and she made a run for it. Roadster recovered from that cheap shot and ran after her. He caught up with her.

"You're not going anywhere!" he yelled

Suddenly they heard a tick from behind some rocks.

"I forgot about that one…" muttered Bally

The bomb exploded and they both were sent flying back. Roadster landed near where Lola was, while Bally landed onto the water. She screamed as the current pulled her over the edge. More explosions filled the cave, turning it into an inferno. The cave walls were collapsing. The ground near the edge was crumbling. The cracks where getting larger and closer to where Lola and Roadster where. The ground beneath Roadster gave way. However he felt someone grab him by his arm. He looked up and saw Lola there, hanging on to him by one arm.

"What are you doing?" he asked

"What does it look like?" she answered

"I thought you wanted to kill me!"

"I do, but my conscious tells me you need to rot away in jail first,"

She tried pulling him up but then he pulled back.

"What the hell?" she said

"My, I'm flattered. But you brought down the Iron Claw…I'm just gonna have to take you down with me!"

"Why you ungrateful piece of…" said Lola as she began slipping over the edge

But then suddenly a rock came crashing down from the ceiling. It hit Lola in the shoulder and Roadster in the face. That blow cost them both their grips and Roadster was brought down by that rock. Lola looked down as he disappeared into the darkness. She struggled to get back up but her arm was injured and it was very difficult for her. Just then a bomb exploded somewhere behind her. The blast knocked her over, but she was able to clasp on to the edge with her good arm. She was hanging on with all the strength she had left. More explosions filled the cavern as Lola hung on for dear life.

"C'mon!" muttered Lola as she tried again to pull herself up, but it was useless.

She grunted as she tried again, but she panted and gasped because she was too tired. She tried lifting her injured arm but she couldn't move it.

"Ugh, you fight off an entire army and you can't even do one pull up to save your own life?" said Lola to herself.

She tried again; she struggled and gritted her teeth.

"I can't…it's hopeless," she whispered

Now only her fingers were holding her up. The cavern was coming down all around her. Thoughts began to fill her head. Of when she held the imposter in her grip and had to explain to Tanya the situation; also of when she and Bugs flew from the Iron Claw's burning island facility. When she flew with the kids up that stairwell, placed them in the force field and flew them out of the castle. The last time Bugs, the kids, and herself were at home enjoying dinner. She smiled at her thoughts a little.

"At least I know they'll be ok…"she muttered to herself, "and that's all that really matters."

The ledge she had been holding on to began to crack. She felt it becoming weaker.

"I only wish that…I could see them one last time."

The last few moments seemed to last an eternity. The ledge finally gave in under her weight and Lola's eyes grew wide when she lost her grip. She began falling into the darkness with debris falling from the ceiling with her. It seemed like the end when suddenly she felt herself fall into something and being pushed through the air. She opened her eyes and saw that she was flying over the abyss, held by all too familiar arms. She looked up and saw Bugs grinning down upon her.

"Bugs!" she exclaimed "You found me!"

"Eh, you know, I just happened to be in da neighborhood…" he said with a smile. He was flying with her using the jetback he 'borrowed' from DJ

She had no words to express her gratitude. She snuggled in his arms and Bugs held her close. He flew her out of the collapsing Maze Cave the same way he got in, through a series of passageways that led to the outside. They made it out just in time.

Moments later…

At the destroyed Iron Claw castle, Force agents were arresting the remaining Claw agents. They all were placed in special jets and flown to the Force's headquarters. DJ was overseeing the whole process. At the castle entrance we find the Bunny family. Lola was receiving medical attention as Tanya and Bugs were sitting next to her on the bench. Sean was playing with Lola's communicator.

"Does it hurt?" asked Tanya

"A little, but I'll be fine," answered Lola

"Boom! Take that! And that!" yelled Sean as he kicked and punched his invisible adversary

"Little brothers…" muttered Tanya

Bugs and Lola chuckled a little.

Then DJ approached them after handling the clean-up.

"Looks like the Iron Claw's finished for sure this time!" he exclaimed

"Let's hope so," said Lola

"I have an incoming message for you from HQ," said DJ revealing his communicator, "Comp, begin transmission"

Comp obeyed and a holographic image of the Boss of the Force appeared.

"Agent Bunny, I want to express my gratitude for destroying the Iron Claw. Even though you disobeyed my orders and went above my command…you still got the job done. Good work," said the Boss

"Thanks, Boss," said Lola

"What amazes me is how you have defeated the entire organization basically by yourself. I don't know if it was a matter of proving your stuff or a matter of some women's rights thing, but whatever it was you sure kicked some tuckus!"

Lola laughed a little.

"I guess I did," she said, "but it really wasn't that. It was more…"

She looked at Bugs, Tanya, and Sean. Bugs put his arm around her and Tanya. Tanya snuggled in close between her parents and Sean jumped up and sat on his mother's lap. Lola ruffled the fur on his head before looking back at her Boss.

"...of a matter of the heart,"

THE END
