Warning! I do not own Family Guy or any of its characters! Sorry for the late update. I volunteered to re-catalog my town cemetery for an eagle project a while back and got in way over my head. Their entire data base was beyond salvageable and some names were not even on record. On the bright side I've gained valuable insight about my town's history. On the down side I had to go through all 2000+ graves and write down all the data by hand before transferring it all onto the internet. It took almost three months but I'm finally done. Just felt like sharing that. Now without further delay chapter 7!

"I can't believe we checked every bar and casino in Quahog and still didn't find Ryan." Brian moaned as they reentered the house only to find that it had been ransacked in their absence.

"What the deuce?" Stewie exclaimed as they surveyed the wreckage. The TV was smashed and the couch tipped on its side. Lying in a field of broken glass sat Ryan's guitar case, the guitar itself broken in two and the case lining slashed. A note had pinned to the wall where the family photos hung with only a few shards of glass still clinging to them.

"Bring fifty thousand dollars to the old abandoned dog pound by midnight tonight or Ryan gets it.

Signed Big T" Stewie read. "Again with the vague concepts. How hard is it to come up with a decent threat?"

"You're missing the point!" Brian exclaimed. "Where are we going to come up with fifty grand in four hours?"

"Well I suppose we could always dip into my rainy day fund." Stewie replied unfazed.

"What rainy day fund?" Brian asked as he followed Stewie up the stairs into his bedroom. Once inside Stewie pressed his hand against the wall causing a panel to slip away to reveal a hidden room full of jewels and gold.

"There must be a fortune in here!" Brian exclaimed as he gazed at the hidden treasures. "Where did you get all this?"

"Around." Stewie replied dismissively.

Cutaway to the interior of a Swiss bank vault

The manager of the bank walks into the empty vault.

"No!" He cries as he sinks to his knees.

Sorry for the short chapter. Hopefully I'll be able to update again soon. As usual all comments, questions, and/or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for reading!
