CHAPTER 3 - All is Caught but the Crook

Silver, Nack and all the Toons they caught arrives at Stabbers Town. About two blocks from Fat Jack's building, Silvers built-in phone on her sky-cycle starts ringing, she presses a button to answer.

"Hello," said Silver. No answer. "Hello, Hello?" said Silver, again.

"Heheheh! Hello Silver, long time no hear," said the unknown caller.

"...Huh?! Who is this? How did you get this number?" asked Silver, very curiously.

"Heheh! I'm surprised you don't remember, after all I was your big rat of troubles," said the unknown caller.

"What?! What are you talking about? What do you want?" said Silver, curious.

"I just wanted to say I was going to transport to escape, but instead the portal system went crazy, and plus the guards were after me. So, I jumped out of the window, but oh sorry, I'm not going to tell you where I'am," explained the unknown caller.

"...Okay, so we heard the story, you sound familiar to me...," replied Silver.

"Well, nice chattin with ya Fool's Gold, maybe you'll see me around again... Not!" said the unknown caller, and hangs up.

Silver, Nack, and Toons has now arrived to Fat Jack's building, they all wonder who just called Silver. They all go inside the building, and get to Fat Jack's office. Skinny and another cat henchman are there, waiting for Silver and Nack with Toons.

"W-we'll take the Toons to transportal from here, y-you two can go in Fat J-Jack office and h-he'll give you guys your p-payment," said Skinny.

"Great! Sounds good to me," said Silver, happily.

The Toons follows the two henchmen down the hall, Fallapart waves good bye to Silver and she waves back. Nack opens the door to Jack's office, and the two goes inside.

"I been expecting you two to come, I've your payment right here in front me, and in case one of the you two feels uneasy about me keeping my end of the deal of returning the creatures back to their places I've got the progress showing on my little tv here," explained Fat Jack.

Silver and Nack sees the progress of the Toon creatures getting transported back to their homes on his TV.

"Yeah, we even caught the unidentified crook too!" said Nack.

"WHAT?!" exclaimed Silver. She jabs Nack in the ribs with elbow hard.

"Ow!" yelped Nack. "No we did not catch the unidentified crook, but however I believe the crook strangely called me on my sky-cycle," explained Silver.

"Hm! Really, how did he know your number?" asked Fat Jack.

"I have no clue how, but he did sound very familiar to me... I can't place him in my head who he is," replied Silver.

"Huh! That is rather odd, sorry to hear you two couldn't catch him, but not to worry I'll let you two have your full payment anyway for this and the trouble you went through," said Fat Jack.

"Wow! Great, thanks Jack!" replied Nack, with a grin on face.

"Eh! No problem, you two take the briefcase and go. You guys can split the money and jewels to," said Fat Jack.

"Okay, thank you Fat Jack," replied Silver, as she takes the briefcase.

As Silver and Nack walks out of Jack's office they say good bye to him, and then leave the building. They get on the sky-cycle, and Silver drives back to her apartment. Once Silver and Nack are in Silver apartment, Silver sits the briefcase down on the kitchen counter, and opens it.

"Okay, Fat Jack said there is six-thousand dollars and six diamonds that are worth about twenty-three thousand each," said Silver.

"Okay, so which ones do you want diamonds or cash?" replied Nack.

"Huhu! Very funny! I hope you are pulling my leg, I wish to have both three diamonds and three thousand for me. Then the same for you, after all you DO know how to divide dont you?!" said Silver.

"Yes, I do know how to divide! I...," exclaimed Nack.

"Good! Because I want to do this fair and square about this, since I haven't been getting a fair share with my last partner at all (except when I'am solo)," said Silver, cutting Nack off.

A pause for a moment, as Nack remembers her last partner, and now he feels a little embarrassed and guilty.

"Yer right, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that... If you want you can have one of my diamonds as a bonus," said Nack.

"Thanks, but no. I just want my fair share of the money and jewels," replied Silver.

"Are you sure?" said Nack. "Yes, I'm sure," said Silver.

Silver and Nack takes their share of the money and diamonds, and go their separate ways...
