Chapter 13.

Disappeared

The next morning, Stanley and Rochelle were opening the Anibenbow Inn and getting it ready for Humans and humanoid animals to have breakfast there.

"Do you suppose Leonardo and Felix are home by now, Stanley?" Rochelle asked Stanley.

"Dunno; I'll have to check," said Stanley and he walked upstairs and towards Leonardo's bedroom; he stop at the door and knocked on it.

"Leonardo, are you there?" asked Stanley.

But there came no answer.

"Leo?"

There still came no answer so Stanley opened the bedroom door and saw that Leonardo's bed was empty and there was no sign of Leonardo nor Felix Cat.

"Did he get up early?" Stanley asked himself.

Stanley went over to the bathroom to see if Leonardo was having a shower like he always did every morning he got up but the shower was empty and the bathroom was empty and then it was at this moment, Stanley realized something.

"He's disappeared and so has Felix," Stanley said to himself and he then rushed down to his wife.

"Rochelle! Leonardo and Felix are gone!" Stanley and to Rochelle.

"What?" she replied, dropping her dish. "Where?"

"I don't know where they have gone!" cried Stanley.

"We should call the police!" said Rochelle.


Meanwhile at the Plainlands Penthouses, Tara and Tia (both now 15 years old) both had their ice skates as they were going to go Ice Skating today.

"Tia, let's go ask Tony to if he would like to come Ice Skating with us," said Tara.

"Should be in his room, right?" asked Tia.

"Yeah he should be," said Tara and so they went to his room.

"Hey Tony! Want to come Ice Skating?" Tara called from outside of Tony's bedroom door but there came no answer.

"Tony! Are you there?!" Tia called but still nothing. Tia opened the bedroom and much to Tara and Tia's shock and surprise, Tony's bed was empty and there was no sign of Tony.

"Did he get up early and leave?" asked Tara.

"But if he did he would leave a note on his bedroom door," said Tia, "And there is no note on the door."

"Think Mom saw him?" asked Tara.

"She and Dad are still in bed, so I don't think so," said Tia.

"Wasn't he at Leo's family Inn when we last heard from him?" Tara asked.

"Yes that is right," said Tia.

"Let's call his Mom then," said Tara.


At Echo's house, Desiree had made Pancakes for breakfast and they were covered in butter and syrup.

"Echo should be up by now..." Desiree said to herself.

So Desiree went upstairs to Echo's bedroom and knocked on the door.

"Echo? Time for breakfast!"

But there came no answer.

"Echo?" Desiree called again but still nothing, Desiree opened the bedroom door and much to her shock and surprise, Echo's bed was empty and there was no sign of Echo.

"She couldn't have gotten up early, could she?" Desiree asked herself.

Desiree searched the entire house but she could not find Echo at all.

"She did say she would be at the inn; maybe I should call," Desiree said to herself.


At the Anthro-partment, Nancy went to Spike's bedroom and knocked on the door.

"Spike? Time for breakfast!" Nancy called.

She got no answer, which was odd.

"Spike?" Nancy called again but still nothing.

Nancy opened the bedroom door and much to her horror, Spike's bed was empty and there was no sign of Spike.

"Must still be at the inn. Better call to be sure," Nancy said.


At the Tigers' Family Convenience, Martin went to Marianne's bedroom and he had his roller skates with him too.

"Marianne? Would you like to come roller skating with me today?" Martian called as he knocked on the bedroom door but he didn't get an answer, making him arch an eyebrow.

"Marianne?" Martin called but still nothing. Heavy sleeper?

Martin opened the bedroom door and much to his horror, Marianne's bed was empty and there was no sign of Marianne.

"Is she still at the in?" Martin asked himself, "I'd better ask Mom and Dad."

So he went to look for his parents and luckily Nathan and Lucianna were having breakfast in the kitchen.

"Mom? Dad? Did you see Marianne this morning?" Martin asked them.

"No dear," said Lucianna.

"No son," said Nathan.

"Any idea where she is?" asked Martin, "I didn't find her in her room."

"She might be still at the Anibenbow Inn," said Nathan.

"I'll give them a call then," said Martin.


Meanwhile at the apartment next to the Daily Beagle, Nicole was cooking sausage, eggs and bacon for breakfast. It was all coming along splendidly until she felt something amiss...

"Lloyd is not up yet," Nicole said, "I better get him up."

She then went to his room and knocked on his bedroom door.

"Lloyd? Breakfast is ready!" Nicole called but there was no reply.

"Lloyd?" Nicole called again but still nothing. Odd...

Nicole opened the bedroom door and much to her shock and horror, Lloyd's bed was empty and there was no sign of Lloyd.

"Is he still at the inn?" Nicole asked herself, "I better call just to make sure."


Meanwhile at Radcliffe's antique shop Radcliffe Giraffe, Sandra Giraffe, Betsy Giraffe, Lolek and Thomas Giraffe were all having breakfast together in the kitchen.

"Hey, is someone missing?"Betsy asked out of the blue.

"What do you mean by that, Betsy?" asked Sandra.

"I mean, where's Amy?" asked Betsy.

"She's probably still asleep in bed," said Radcliffe.

Betsy walked to Amy's bedroom and knocked on the door.

"Amy? Time for breakfast!" Betsy called but there was no response.

"Amy?" Betsy called again.

Still nothing, which was odd. Betsy opened the bedroom door and much to her horror, Amy's bed was empty and there was no sign of Amy.

"Where could she be?" Betsy asked herself as she went back to Radcliffe, Sandra, Lolek and Thomas.

"Amy has gone!" Betsy told them.

"Honey, calm down," Sandra assured her as she saw the panic in her eyes. "She must be still at Leo's family in with her friends."

"You think so?" Betsy asked.

"I'll give them a call," said Sandra and she went over to the phone and dialed the Anibenbow Inn number.

But what the families of Leonardo, Tony, Echo, Spike, Marianne, Lloyd and Amy did not know that Leonardo, Tony, Echo, Spike, Marianne, Lloyd, Amy and even Felix Cat had gone to Uqaqeosan Dynasty with Prince Shelldon to become the new team of SeptZoos: Super Guardians.
