A figure tossed turned in a bed tangling up in the sheets trying to block out the morning sun shinning coming through the window and lighting up the room
" Ughhh" Avery groaned.
It was Cindy's hulking figure blocking up the curtain wall she was humming her favorite song "Hot dog sushi your not my kind" while fishing clothes out of her hamper.
Avery turned to her side with her arm hanging over the bed.
"Oh good morning Avery I hope you like the blanket it's Zips favorite" she chuckled.
"Now get you sleepyhead this no time to sleep in late that's my job" she huffed.
Avery groaned as she rubbed her head " What time is it?" She mumbled but not yet opened her eyes.
"Honey it's 9:30 AM" Cindy spoke going around picking up clothes from the floor"And it's chore day for me since I have to pick up everyone's clothes."
The brunette sat straight up at this and was wide awake now" Fuck! I'm going to be late for work" Avery said as she bolted out bed and tried to find her clothes" I have to take Lily to school, Shit! She's going be late as well" Avery said scrambling to put her pants on.
"Don't worry I called your ex-husband, I got Zip to bring her to school" Toad spoke gruffly leaning against the door frame, Avery scoffed at mention of her ex.
" The duce actually decides to spend time with his daughter finally, he's probably going to make a comment that I'm a unfit mother" Avery said as she put on her tennis shoes.
"Hey Toad hey Cindy I'm back!" Zips voice rung outside the living room.
" Thanks for bringing Lily to school " Avery thanked them as she put on her jacket.
"Oh uh Mrs. Avery I uh hehe didn't know you would be here" Zip started acting flustered rubbing his arm blushing.
Avery then frowned when she noticed one the siblings was missing" Where's Sleazy?" She asked deadpanned.
The reason she asked this was because their brother is repeat offender and had more then once been arrested by Avery and her partner.
"Behind the Curb like akways" Cindy spoke walking towards the other room carrying the hamper.
"Stay safe Avery I'll get Sleazy again like always" Toad spoke furrowing his brows skating towards the door.
"Oh Sleazy how can you put yourself through this" Zip wimpered reaching into his pocket clutching his stuff toy.
Zip was almost to the verge of tears when something like this happens to Sleazy it scared him when the police arrived one time to forcibly arrest him Zip cried extremely hard during that time.
Avery face softened at this making her go over to hug the gentle giant toon.
Zips shoulders shook nervously as he carefully hugged Avery "You are always so nice Ms Avery" Zip whimpered.
The door opened to show Sleazy scratching at his muzzle "Hey hey hey party people!" He called out only to stare dead eyed at Avery "Shit" he hissed.
Avery pulled away from Zip too look at Sleazy" Ahhh what's the matter Sleazy not happy to see me" She cooed sarcastically with her hand on her on her hip.
"No no no it's not that! I just didn't think you would be here that's all" Sleazy attempted to sleaze out of the conversation.
Avery rolled her eyes as she went to get her bag" Well unfortunately my building burned down last night and Toad offered to let me and Lily to spend the night" She explained to him.
"Hey Zip" Sleazy ignored Avery's words to wave at his little brother Zip looked up at him with sad eyes and simply wave while staring at his stuff animal.
"You!" Cindy spoke angrily stomping the floor smacking Sleazy across the face.
"Where were you Sleazy?" Toad spoke in a growling matter clearly very angry at the situation.
"Do you realize how worried Zip was for you" Avery lectured him with her arms crossed.
"I didn't know he was getting worried I swear I was only trying to find a job application for the whole night."
"Zip was worried sick and started crying when you promised you were gonna read him a bedtime story!" Cindy huffed poking Sleazy's chest to confirm her point.
Avery raised a brow at this " Really? You where really looking for job?" she asked him.
"Yes Avery I was looking for a Job" Sleazy said irritated.
" Sleazy you've told me and your siblings that a thousand time" Avery said as rubbed her brows in annoyance" And these so called jobs are never legal" She pulled her hand away to stare at him seriously.
"look a Friend of mine knows your on a case and he gave me this for you in case your interested" Sleazy explained fishing out an orange flyer handing it to Avery.
Avery took it from him and began to look it over carefully.
Dr. Francis Halloween bash coming from Transalvanyia please bring a costume and party up!
8:30AM to 4:00PM
" Dr. Frances Halloween?" she said out loud in confusion.
"Well in the Human world it's almost Halloween so Dr. Francis decided to create a Halloween bash to celebrate Halloween" Sleazy explained.
" What kind of doctor is this guy?" Avery asked as she continued to look over the flyer.
"He's a Doctor prescribed to help Toons with severe damage onto themselves like let's say if the original toon becomes a remake of themself he can fix it up, it's like having plastic surgery except you don't have to worry about side effects that much" Sleazy explained"Just be careful around Dr. Francis the guy is.. different" Sleazy added.
Avery chuckled a little and looked up at Sleazy" What toon isn't different Sleazy" She said.
"I know but at daytime he's Normal but at night he's umm different" Sleazy bit his lip "I'll let you get back to it" he said.
Avery went into deep thought wondering just who was this toon that knew about her case and how was this doctor was connected to it, frankly it sounded like a wild goose chase but the missing humans and toons case had reached a dead end each time with no new leads...until now.
She sighed in defeat " I'll check it ok" Avery said.
" Thanks for letting me and stay the night guys"Avery said sincerely" My parents are not home till next week and they didn't leave the key this timr" Avery said as she went into kitchen to make coffee.
"You did alot for us we felt like we owed you in return" Toad spoke scratching his head.
"But next time girl you and I
should go clubbing next time as just us girls" Cindy spoke twirling her pigtail skating across the floor.
Avery pulled out her phone and started to call Hickory" If I have free time Cindy" She told her with smile, she then grabbed her keys and her coffee and headed out the door" Bye" She waved" Sleazy stay out of trouble" she hollered out before shutting the door.
"Remind me again why were doing this?" Hickory asked while driving.
Avery who was looking out the car window turned her head to the toon humanoid cat"Because we are getting no where with the missing toon and han cases and more and more keeping going missing..." She then sighed deeply" this is the best lead we got right now..." she told him softly.
Hickory huffed deeply and put on his sunglasses.
" Have you ever heard of this guy?This doctor Frances Halloween?" Avery asked as she leaned against the window.
"I heard he's quiet but very respected except the fact he sings every so often" Hickory shrugged.
"Sleazy says he normal during day but... different at night" Avery put carefully while the middle of changing her shoes.
"Maybe it's a phrase of the Doctors Identity, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" Hickory chuckled.
"Another toon singer huh" At mention of that Avery took out her wallet that held the card of the toon lion Mox" Hey Hickory back in your movie star days did you ever run into someone named Mox?" Avery asked as she eyed the card.
Hickory's eyes widened in surprise when she mentioned the lion's name"Heard of him, he's a legend in Toon-ville, he's practically the few oldest toons to exist, he was around before Mickey Mouse was born."
Avery choked on her coffee at this" Oh God as old toon Buckly?" Avery asked astound.
" I slept with someone old enough to be my grandfather" Avery said to her self quietly, Avery was amazed her was still around" How is it he hasn't " faded away from old age yet, I mean he looks really good for his age."
"I don't know Buckley still looks good though his wrinkles are starting to show I think I've seen grey hair's on Mox's hair but that was back then when I was a kid" Hickory explained.
Avery shrugged" Maybe that doctor Halloween, he mainly preforms plastic surgery for toons from what Sleazy told me" Avery then shivered" if his Dr Jekyll side is a respected popular doctor during that day I can't help but think his Dr Hyde side is something of a mad doctor that does crazy experiments" Avery said.
Hickory laughed out loud "that's not his last name It's his Halloween Bash and of course the flyer says you must wear a costume if your going to enter his Transalvanyia castle."
Avery seemed amused" And what is the great former actor going to be ?" She asked.
"Well" Hickory spoke opening the glove box pulling out 2 bags I got these at the store for the party" If were going to meet Dr. Frances."
Avery pulled one the customs out to reveal a red cape " Little red Riding hood, kind of ironic since my Mother Ted Riding Hood" She said with a smile.
"It'll take us 30 minutes before the party begins" Hickory explained.
Avery wrapped the cape and hood around her it matching well with her wine colored dress.
Hickory appeared to be putting on a black hat and mask with a black shirt resembling Zoro.
"You look nice" Hickory smiled as he stepped out of the car.
" Thank you you too" She said as she looked him over then stepping out the car, the brunette almost tripped in her " Shit I haven't worn heals since my wedding day..." She cursed as she straightened herself and fixed her short dress, Hickory over to her side looking very handsome in his costume.
"So Dr. Frances Castle...what do you think Avery?" He questioned staring up at the huge castle like mansion.
Avery took it in as they walked up the long walk way" Honestly it kind of reminds me of Dracula's Castle" Avery commented due the dark mysterious amiss she felt around it.
"Let's hurry inside, the guest's will be already partying" Hickory chuckled heading up the stairs.
They went up to the giant door where they saw a rope which looked was the doorbell, both of them shrugged and Avery yanked the rope down making a loud creepy bell ring through out the mansion.
A creepy skunk opened a small door panel staring at the 2 detectives "Who rang that bell!" He hissed his yellow eyes searched.
Hickory and Avery looked between each other and then back the skunk confused" uhhh we did" Avery said obviously.
"Can't you read!" He hissed again pulling a toon sign at the front of the door before closing the panel.
" Door bell...out of...order please...knock" Avery and Hickory slowly read out loud together" if that was true why they put the sign out before" Avery mumbled under her breath annoyed, Avery then knocked on the huge this time
The door opened to show a skunk with a hunchback "Welcome to Dr. Francis Castle" he smiled gleefully.
The human woman and humanoid toon walked inside the creepy castle walls and where met by music and dressed up humans and toons ethier dancing or involved with explicit acts with each other.
"Could one of the men here be Dr. Francis" Hickory spoky quietly to Avery seeing everyone having fun.
In the middle of walking inside Hickory and Avery where cut off by a pretty white humanoid cat toon wearing a white bow around her neck, with puffy white short dress and white stilettos ran across the path giggling in a cute toon way while human man wearing big baggy bear suit chased after her with a seductive grin.
"It's possible" Avery said as she watched the couple go in amusement" all I know is that he's toon for sure."
A female toon behind the duo screamed in bloody murder before fainting on the floor, The duo immediately turned around to see a bulky cloaked figure inside the elevator staring at them intensely. The doors slowly opened to reveal the mysterious Dr. Frances.
Avery on intinct brought her hand to grip her small toon gun on her leg holster inside her dress as the dark overwhelming figure of the toon doctor" Be prepared for anything" she whispered to Hickory.
The doors revealed a beefy crocodile wrapped in a black cloak he had a smile creeped onto his scaly lips he wore black and grey eyeshadow Dark cherry red lipstick and powder on his face.
He looked at the duo smiling seductively
"How do you do I"~
He sung, there's was no music playing where they were but the music was playing loud
"See that you met my..Handyman!"~ The Crocodile toon sung.
"He's a little broke down.. because when you knocked he thought you were the Candyman~" the doctor sung smiling eyeing both Avery and Hickory.
Avery loosen her grip of her holster as she took in the form of the toon Crocodile of what they discover was Dr. Francis Halloween was just as bemused as his partner as the watched the foctor Sing and dance his way over.
"Don't get strung out!"~ strut out in front of the carpet, toons and human's both cheered and clapped for him strutting across the theatre stage Avery could hear the click of high heels hitting the carpet floor.
"By the way I look! Don't judge a book by it's cover"~Dr. Francis turned around.
"I'm not much of a toon by the light of Day! But at night I'm one hell of a lover"~ his vocals were impressive.
Both her Hickory just watched him, trying to take in his flamboyant personality.
"ok when Sleazy said he was..." different at night but never expected this" Avery said watching the preformance in front of her.
Dr. Frances tore off the cloak to reveal his body , he wore a purple corset with black lace tightly wrapped on him black gloves with gold and magenta bracelets wore around his wrists, his black stockings reached up to his muscled thigh's with purple harness attached to his black leotard hugging his package he wore red ruby high heels that hugged his feet, he wore a real pearl necklace clanking to his muscled neck.
"Don't mind me Honey! I'm just a sweet transvestite, From transexual Transalvanyia!"~ he sung carresing his chest with his silken gloved hand.
Hickory hide his eyes at this whilr Avery whistled awkwardly" Wow that's a lot of scales" she said as she took in his outfit.
"Let me show you around, maybe play you a sound"~ he strut the carpet grasping both Avery and Hickory's hands escorting them to the dance floor.
Avery almost lost her footing from of the combination of wearing heels and being taken by surprise but regain balance thanks to Hickory.
"You both look like your pretty groovy!" Dr. Frances sung caressing their shoulders "Or if you both want something visual that's not too abysmal, we can take in an old Looney tunes show"~ he smiled benting down to fill a cup of water showing his muscled ass in front of the duo being seductive.
"I'm glad we caught you at home doctor me and my partner were hoping we could talk to you about something happening around Toon-ville" Hickory explained trying to avoid Frances flirty glances.
"About the missing toons humans" Avery asked getting into cop mode but then noticed Francis was looking at their exposed skin and fur making her self conscious and try to pull down her dress more to cover legs.
"We'll ask a couple of questions than we'll leave you alone sir" Hickory added.
Dr. Frances turned throwing his cup of water onto the floor "Well you both got caught in a flat world!"~ he sung loud he turned looking at Avery cocking his right eye "How bout that, well babies don't you panic" He waved his gloved finger at them before trailing his finger close to Hickory's chest "By the light of night, it'll all be alright I'll answer your satanic McLennan questions!" He smiled before walking up stage.
"I'm just a sweet transvestite! From Transexual, Transalvanyia!" He said vocally.
He proceeded to sit down casually relaxing on a love couch before looking at both Avery and Hickory "Would you both care to stay for one night?" He asked.
"Night" a bat toon behind him whispered loud.
"Or maybe..a bite?" Frances offered.
"Bite!" A female cat too whispered loud licking her lips.
"I can show you both my favorite.. obsession's I've been making 2 humans.. one with blonde hair and the other red and they're both are for to relief my... tension" he said seductively carressing his leg.
"I'm just a sweet transvestite..from Transexual Transylvania!" He sung more.
Avery and Hickory started feel very uncomfortable and we're a little disturbed when he said create and relief tension.
And the other thing they could agree on was that they wanted the bat no were near them.
"So for now..come up to my lab and see what's on the slab" he moaned rising up returning to his elevator "I can cure your selfish desires" he chuckled Hickory and Avery we're feeling strangely enthralled to him but restrain themselves "But not the Symptoms!" He shouted abruptly pressing the button going up, The guest's went back to partying like nothing happened.
Avery and Hickory just looked at each other confused by the whole encounter that just happened" Hickory did you?..."
"Did you too Avery?" He asked feeling confused as she was.
"Looks like you both made a stain" the Bat toon cackled pointing at their crotches before flying up.
Avery looked down and turned bright red at what the toon bat was implying" Oh dear God" she moaned in exasperation.
Hickory was just embarrassed at his partner but did well to compose himself.
"Let's hurry back to the car to change" Hickory whispered shivering while making each step to the front door.
" Don't need to tell me twice" Avery said as she quickly tried to make her way back outside.
" Ok I may sleep around from time to time but I've never once I not once have ever done something like that in public" Avery stretched it out dead serious as she turned her head to face her partner.
"I know I'm straight but never have I stained myself before is this a product of Dr. Frances voice to bring pleasure?"Hickory sighed.
Avery was changing in the back seat of Hickory's blue car ridding herself of the the underwear and dress she she'd shamec herself in" let's just hurry up and ask this guy our questions so we can quickly get the hell out here" Avery grumbling as she grabbed her bag that had extra change of clothes in" This guy and his lackeys give me the creeps" Avery said as she started to put on her fresh clothes.
Avery soon got out wearing sweats pants and a loose white shirt with tennis shoes she then allowed Hickory to go in and change as well. Couple minutes later he came out wearing jeans and a black t-shirt" Now let's go talk to the doctor Avery gestured to him to follow her back inside.
They went back inside more mentally prepared or at least they thought they where, making their way through toons and humans dancing to the blasting music.
The human woman turned her direction where the good doctor to the elevator he disappeared from" He went up but which floor?" She told the toon Cat over the music.
Hickory looked around until her spotted who he was looking for, the creepy bat who was hanging upside down from the chandelier.
Avery looked up as well" Great...just great" she said under her breath.
The bat laughed creepily as he flapped his wings and flew down to land in front of them.
"See that the good doctor invited you for dinner, better head up he'll make sure your well fed and while he answers your questions" The Bat snickered beckoning the 2 to come to the elevator.
The cat made somersaults grabbing them both by their hands "Dr. Fontaine does not like to be kept waiting" she purred.
Both Avery and Hickory could do little to protest as the female toon cat dragged into the elevator and then pressed a button to the destined floor.
The human woman jumped a little when she saw the toon bat was behind them being his creepy self. Avery mentally shivered still remembering where he touched her" when did you get in here?" She asked getting closer to Hickory.
"I have my ways" he finished puckering his wrinkled lips together for snack after chuckling.
"Don't worry cops you'll get what you want then you'll leave" the cat purred pressing her claw close Avery's cheek.
Avery face then became serious and she grabbed the cat hand in a firm grip" Did I give you permission to touch me" Avery said in authoritative tone with her eyes staring hard at the female toon making, When the brunette was like the even Hickory could help be submissive, The human woman had a stare that could make even the biggest toons tremble when she was in the mood.
The elevator soon dinged notifying everyone they had arrived at their floor.
"Masters waiting" The cat smiled before chomping almost getting Avery's nose "Try not to get over confident" she finished twirling her tail escorting the 2 through the red and gold hallways.
The bat bumped Avery's shoulder he turned giving her a sly smirk "Be careful bringing your friend" he rose his brows cackling.
This made Avery frown as they walked into what looked like a elegant dining room" What do you think he meant by that? " She turned her head to ask Hickory.
There where dark red drapes hanging from the windows, the table was round that had red table cloth over it which had candle light reaveling the dinner and the red hue surrounding the room.
" Someone likes red" Avery commented as they looked around the room" Just might be Dracula's Castle after all" she commented as sat themselves down at the table.
The Human woman looked to see that the toon Cat looked kind of nervous and uncomfortable in general" You worried how he will affect you again?" she asked him softly.
"I don't want to experience that again" Hickory whispered.
Avery face softened at this making her cradle his furry face in her hand brought his face to look up at her" Hey...it will be ok I'm your partner... I'm here for you" she told him with a smile he cheeks turned red at this" and if he does I kick him so hard in the balls he won't be able to sing like a adult anymore" Avery chuckled,Hickory chuckled a bit this as well.
Just then the heard someone enter the room along with a familiar humming.
The door burst open to reveal Dr. Francis arriving wearing the same outfit except wearing a see through jacket with feathers decorated on it "Time for dinner darling's"
Avery leaned back in her chair and sighed deeply trying to get mentally prepared for him" Dr. Fortaine as we said before My name is Avery Rose" She then brought her gaze to Hickory avoiding eye contact" and this is Hickory Dock...we wanted to asked you some questions about a missing young girl" Avery asked seriously.
Francis snapped his fingers at the Bat whispering to his ear, the bat kept nodding than exited the door "He's just getting dinner" Francis spoke "Proceed Miss Avery" he waved his hand.
"We are looking into the disappearance of Deborah Kim, a reporter who went missing almost a week ago" Avery explain as she watched Francis stroke his exposed leg" she was last seen being taken out of the Club 666 in a dark car..." Avery then leaned forward to stare at him hard "and word on the street that you might know something about this."
"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't what can you offer me or provide me if I aid your investigation" he asked leaning forward.
Avery frowned at him, not liking where this was going" What is it that you want doctor?" she asked.
"It's not a matter of want but need" he licked his lips.
Before the brunette could respond the sound of the door opening came again and the little bat henchman came in pushing in a cart that looked to have dishes and bottle of champagne.
"Dinner is served!" He bowed.
Grabbing each dish placing them down on each table and chair placing the champagne bottle close to Francis glass.
The bat then went of to the toon Crocodile and whispered something into his ear whic made the doctor smirk, Avery and Hickory didn't like it one bit. The bat chuckled to himself a bit as he opened the bottle making a loud pop then he began to pour the bubbly into each of their glasses, Avery picked up the champagne and shrugged" Usaully I drink beer but this will do" She said as she took a swig of it.
Hickory was keeping a close eye on his partner, the good doctor, the bat and then his drink eyeing them carefully before taking a drink himself.
"So to answer your question miss Avery is that another Toon of mine must've brought a woman here I think she wore glasses if I'm correct" he sipped his glass.
"She seemed to be delirious not knowing what to do" he spoke taking his fork and knife to cut his food.
Avery paused Midway from her drink at this" Did you check to see if she was alright? or call a ambulance?" she asked in her cop mode.
"I called by my phone, the ambulance did arrive but he and the girl disappeared" he explained.
"Please eat it's rude not to give compliments to the chef."
Avery reluctantly then began to cut up her food and took small bites, not wanting to upset the doctor due him being so cooperate with them and she didn't want him to shut up now.
"Your employee...has he shown up to work all since then?" Hickory asked with interest.
Avery started to feel tense making her pull out her cigarette box in her pocket" Do you mind if I smoke in here?" she asked the toon doctor.
"You may" he said.
"He showed up once very anxious and almost anti-social he assaulted my kitten than ran out of the window" he explained becoming worried.
Avery popped one in her mouth and and pulled out her old gold lighter and lit up between her finger before taking a deep Puff while going into thought about what the doctor said.
"He hurt her too bad but we chose to remain silent for the fear if he returned to hurt us."
" When did you start smoking again?" Hickory asked as he frowned at her.
" Since my duce of a ex decided at random to go between dead beat father and decent father at random" She grumbled.
Avery blew out the smoke " Is she alright?" She asked.
"I'm fine the bruises healed but it's nothing serious" the cat spoke unrolling her sleeve to show the effect.
Avery turned her head and took the toon cats arm gently and exaimed her injuries. As the human woman looked at the bruising she couldn't stop thinking about what this toon may putting Deborah through right now.
" We may very well be dealing with a sexual predator Hickory" Avery said calmly...to calmly as she turned back into her seat and took a drag.
" This toon what kind of toon is he and what's his name ?" Avery asked firmly.
"His name is Kelly he's a rat toon that has existed in the 80s, smokes cigars and wears a British cap mostly because he's British" Dr. Fortaine replied.
Avery took another drag while in deep thought, Hickory had seen Avery like this only a couple of times...only when they dealt with the worst of criminals, it was the most frightening side of her he didn't like to see, but he wasn't surprised due the victim being a young girl and she had a very young daughter so she was probably thinking what Deborah parents must be going through or...how she would tell them if they find her too late.
"Avery" Hickory spoke trying to get her attention.
" Did he say anything to anyone of that day that might have been...strange" Avery asked as she turned her head from the cat and the doctor.
"Like stranger then how you and your employees usaully act?" Hickory butted in.
"No hasn't done anything strange but it was the first time he snapped."
Avery took another drag " Did you ever suspect he might be on Ink?" She asked him.
This comment made Hickory snap his head towards Avery, ink was sore subject for him due him sober from it for at least 5 years...back then he was a hard core addict speacily after his movie career ended...he didn't get sober until after his brothers murder.
"If you do your practice at home like I suspect it wouldn't be hard to get the ingredients to make it" Avery told Francis plainly.
"Hmm the wrinkles in his eyes had faded including the grey roots in his fur" Francis spoke scratching a claw to his chest.
" The question is though why Deborah though?" Hickory told Avery.
"Maybe because someone was trying to help her" Francis spoke rising up from his seat grabbing the lace that's of the sheet on the table staring at it's engravings.
" Working for a renowned toon doctor...trying to to make himself look younger...nabbing a young human girl...and attacking female toon" Avery said quietly to herself as she tried to put everything together.
"You seem to be putting 2 and 2 together miss Avery, can you connect the dots?" Francis spoke almost low.
The Bat started giggling, the cat made small hiccup laughs.
Avery eyes widen when something popped into her head" Kelly isn't legal citizen in the regular world is he?" She asked curtly.
"Very Cleevvverrr!" Francis roared pulling the sheet off the table revealing a deceased toon inside a coffin with hunks of meat scooped out of him, his features indicated an agonizing death.
Both of Avery and Hickory nearly jumped out there seats at the sight of the toon, Hickory was vomiting on the side the table.
" Holy God!" She screamed, realizing what she had ate made the bile rise in her throat, making her drop her smoke.
She brought her attention to Francis " W-what did you do to him?" Avery managed to spit out" Who is this !?" Avery demanded as she stood up from the chair.
"He asked to many questions" Francis yelled in rage stomping towards Avery smacking her cheek.
Hickory quickly went to Avery's side and scrambled to help her stand and made her run with him, Avery didn't protest knowing they where dealing with a mad toon...a very sick toon.
Hickory held Avery's hand tightly as the dashed out the room and into the hall with Francis henchman laughing wickedly behind them and the good doctor chasing after them while singing.
Avery looked behind her to see the croc was getting closer making her push Hickory into the elevator and shut the door with out her" Avery what are you doing?!" Hickory screamed at her.
" Call the captain, get the SWAT team I'm going to distract him" She told him between her breaths before looking behind her to see the mad doctor was catching up" Call him !" She said running down the hall with croc on her tail.
Hickory gritted his teeth in fustration as elevator began to close" Like I'm going to leave you here with him" he said to himself before pressing the up button.
Avery found stair and started to run up them and when she was about turn a go up the other flight she felt herself being grabbed into a strong grip.
Francis large claws gripped tightly around Avery's thin arm and brought close to him singing in her face a he smirked sadistically as he towered over her.
"I'm gonna tell you once and I'm gonna say this twice~ he sang wrapping his arms around her tight.
"You better wise up! Miss Avery Right!" He grunted keeping her close as she attempted to struggle out if his grasp.
"Your Apple Pie! Don't taste to nice"~ he sung, his tail coiled around her leg.
The Cat and the Bat were busy laughing hysterically.
"Oh Shut up!" The Bat yelled while the Cat slapped him silly while she busted out into laughter again.
His long lizard tongue came out and ran it's self up her cheek making her making her shiver in disgust before kneeing him hard in the groin.
He gasped clutching his midscetion tight, his tail uncoiled allowing Avery the chance to run. Since he was a toon he recovered quickly and then started to chase after her again" What are you trying to say?! What do you want?!" Avery yelled at him as she ran.
He took a breath chasing after her through the corridors "I've laid the seed it should be all you need!~" he sung louder.
She could feel her heart pound out her chest and her lungs on fire as tried to out run to the insane toon.
"Your as sensual as a Pencil, wound up like an E or a first string when we made it, Did you hear a bell ring! Darling!"~
The bell at the stairs opened a door for Avery, She almost fell when turned towards but regain her balance before that could happen. Her running led her to marble spacious room which soon dinged alerting to elevator had arrived on the floor, It made her forget that Francis was behind her for a second allowing for him to catch up to her again making it to late for her to run.
"You got a block? We'll take my advice you better wise up Miss Avery Right"~ he sung chasing her down swirling around in excitement "Don't worry the Transducer will Seduce ya" Francis smiled Sadistically pulling a huge lever down.
Hickory had come out the elevator by then and tried to run over to Avery but found both his feet where stuck to the floor making the brunette try to go over to him as well but discovered she was stuck too.
" W-what's going on?!" Hickory yelled out as he tried to move.
" We're stuck!" Avery grunted as she tried to get feet unstuck.
The human woman growled in fustration while the toon croc leaned lazily against a piller.
"Your obviously stuck you tiny fools!" Francis groaned stroking himself.
"It'll be something you'll get used to a mental mindfuck will be niiicceee"~ he sang loud bumping his buttocks against Avery and Hickory.
Avery glared at him while Hickory shivered in disgust" It wasn't Kelly's idea take Deborah wasn't it?He was acting on your orders wasn't he?" She asked him" What did you to her?!" Avery demanded from him.
"Correct! Though I didn't lie that Kelly did all of this on my orders" Francis smirked through his lipstick and eyeshadow.
"Deborah is fine but I would like to show you what became of her fate" he whispered the last word in emphasis.
The Bat and Cat rushed through the railings "Did you get her Master?" The Bat yelled.
The TV screen rose down flickering through channels, Avery brought their eyes to the screen to see a knocked out Deborah in nothing but her underwear and bra. She appeared to be chained to a wall and looked to be covered in bruises and was quiet pale. The scene skips to show Francis thrusting into her, Francis skipped showing the toon he murdered using an ice pick stabbing to death, another scene popped up showing the doctor doing facial surgery on a client, The next showed a threesome with his minion's him thrusting into the bat the bat thrusting the cat, the cat herself sucking on her lollipop.
"Whoops that was meant to be private" the doctor chuckled.
Avery just looked at the scenes wide eyed in horror and disgust as the color drain from her face until it was too much for her to bare making shut her eyes tightly, Hickory had a similar reaction but seemed to be more visably final scene showed Kelly the Rat toon escorting Deborah out of the rain
"You sick son of a bitch..." Avery said under her breath while trying to hold her tears in of seeing the torture poor young girl and toon.
Avery keep huffing deeply as she tried to let emotions blow out but she couldn't stop thinking about what she saw...about what Francis and his henchman had done but while she was doing that something popped into her head about she remembers about certain comments they made.
"mmm I enjoy my fetishes from time to time" he moaned fishing out a cigeratte from his stocking
The Bat took out a lighter throwing it down for the doctor who quickly catched it lighting it up "I'm a transvestite of many things but sick isn't one of them miss Avery I will say where Kelly is and where Deborah is, he took her right under my nose when I wasn't looking."
"Master can we keep her, I like to butter her muffin" he cackled tugging on her bra straps.
The cat backflipped down pressing her cleavage against Hickory "Oh yes Master these two don't look like they'll break so easily" she purred.
Hickory hissed at the bat enraged " Touch her and I'll will scratch your eyes out you flying rat" The toon cat hissed at him.
The Cat placed him in a sleep hold but not enough to make him loose unconscious only to keep him in check "Oh look master a boy who can throw a puch" she giggled.
"You and your employees aren't legal citizens are you Doctor Francis" What she said made everyone in the room go quiet.
"Bravo bravo, you must think your so clever!" He spat smacking her with the back of his hand.
"But I'll give you chance to guess what toon we are, so what year do you think I was created in?" He smiled gleefully rubbing his chest.
Avery held her now sore cheek as brought back gaze to croc, frowning as she looked him over getting into detective mode" You look like your made from the 80s but I know that's true, your look is like 40s burlesque toons but is more up to date then them and with your personality I geussing you where born between mid 60s early 70s when summer of love, drugs, and sex was on the range" Avery pointed out.
slowly clapped "Nice fieldwork miss detective, I'm from 1975 the year of Rock and Roll, drugs, sex, and everything so fine I was incredibly gifted in singing in including my minion's we all were created for a horror/musical that was received very well in the human world."
" That's why you needed Deborah wasn't it...you needed to marry or impregnant a human to get citizenship..." Avery scanned him and his lackeys over " but you can't go through legal means even though your well respected in Toon-Ville I have no doubt immigration catch word of your"past times" Avery raised a eyebrow.
"No my wish is not to get Deborah pregnant I wish for a permanent way of getting into the human world" he smirked.
"Can you guess what my show was called Miss Avery I'll give you a hint, what happens when you mix Beetlejuice, Little Shop of horrors and get Looney Tunes pregnant" he said
The Bat and the Cat snickered "I wish everyone was still here"
"They were alot of us around before we took Kelly in" the bat and cat finished each other's sentence's"
He stalked over to Avery" "and what wish is that doctor?" She asked as she crossed her arms.
"I will create a transfer portal to let me sneak through the world at my disposal while captivating people for my music once more like the good old days"~ he sung.
" Your really mad doctor if you think you can do this, don't you think many have tried" Avery lectured him making the toon cross dresser hold her face in his hand, his hand being so large her face fit in perfectly.
"You still haven't answered my question what was our TV shows name..."
Avery thought about it for a minute until it popped up in her head" Rocky horror picture show..." She answered quietly.
Francis filled with jubilation when she said this" Now answers my question why Deborah? why invite me and Hickory here?" She asked him firmly.
" What does the cat and the bat mean about others being here before Kelly came along" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"We we're tipped by our mutual friend so we had to catch you first without question" he smirked.
"Kelly wasn't part of our show" the Bat said.
"He was from an old Disney cartoon older than us, he mentioned it was the great mouse dectective" The Cat answered.
"Oh we use to have more of our friends who used to be part of the Rocky Horror picture show some faded away other's just left" the huchback skunk spoke walking forward"Your looking at the remnants of a good classic that use to exist as a legend" the Skunk said.
Avery raised a eyebrow at this " Mutual friend?" Then she realized who he was talking about"You don't mean Sleazy don't you you?"
"No hon I'm talking about my benefactor who helped keep my house up and running" Francis smiled.
" So Kelly grew a concious and saved Deborah from you clutches basically" she said simply.
"No no no he abducted the girl strangling her while he assaulted kitty the ink was coming out of his nose" the bat explained.
This didn't clear Avery conscious at all if anything she was more worried Deborah might be dead or worse.
" So do plan on doing with me and Hickory good doctor" She asked as glared at him"and who is this benefactor you think we both know ?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well you have a choice Miss Avery I am a reasonable toon despite my desperate nature I'll let you go if you look the other way of my activity of inventing and I'll give you a clue to find my benefactor and Mr. Kelly" then his eyes went dark "if you can't do this then me and my friends will have some fun that you'll never forget hon" he smiled.
Avery felt a cold chill go down her spine at this not wanting to know what the croc had in plan for her and Hickory, i most likey give her nightmares while her cop side knew she shouldn't let this sick monster go for what he's done but the other part knew If there was any chance to save a innocent girl and find the benefactor behind this evil toon she would would willing to look the other way no matter how much she wanted to take out this croc spine and shove it back up his ass and pull it out his mouth.
Avery gritted her teeth in defeat" tell me where Deborah is and I will drop the investigation against you" She promised him.
"Good" Francis chuckled grabbing her shoulder blade squeezing her Vulcan tight including Hickory's "You've chosen wisely" he said as blackness overwhelmed them, The last thing Avery saw was Francis chuckling sadistically at her.
Avery slowly opened her eyes to find herself in thecar with Hickory beside her. She quickly went over to her partner side and tried to shake him awake " Hickory? Hickory are you alright?" She asked in concern.
He groaned slowly opening his eyes "Did all that happened?" He asked. Sighed in relief when he woke up" god I wished it didn't..." she said under her breath as she hugged him tightly, Hickory was taken back by this but hugged her back in return with out complaints, Avery rubbed his face against his fur as she cried in fustration and anger" Hickory I just made a deal with the devil..." She said with disgust.
A ring interrupted there moment the 2 looked over to see a phone was placed on the dashboard. Avery looked at it suspiciously as she slowly reached out for it and brought it to her ear not before taking a calming breath" Hello..." She answered softly.
"Kelly will be found on the Disney square where the higher class come better hurry darling"The phone clicked off.
Avery eyes widen at this and she quickly put the phone in the back seat" We need to go to Disney square Now!" She told Hickory curtly as she put on her seat belt.
Hickory seemed confused at first but when he saw the urgent look in his partners eyes he stepped on the gas and began to drive to the destination she told him about.
