With Snake, he tripped over a rug and gets up to start running some more. He reached upstairs and heads towards Mojo's room, then he sees Mojo sitting on the bed with his head low. Snake said, "Mojo, Accce is kidnapped! You gotta helpsss me!" Mojo has his face buried into his hands and said as if he was crying, "I lost Rebecca. She's gone and I'll never see her again..."
Snake sadly looked at Mojo and said, "She'sss missing, too? Mojo, I'll ssstick with you and help you find her." Mojo looked up with tears running down his face and sniffled, "Really?" Snake pats Mojo's shoulder and says, "Yeah, what are friendsss for? C'mon, let'sss go." Mojo gets up a bit, turns the safety off the gun he has, and says, "Let's do this. Nobody messes with Mojo Jojo."
Snake sees the gun and says with his hands up, "Easy, Mojo! That thingsss loaded!" Mojo said reassuringly, "Don't worry, I'm an expert gunman. You've seen me handle laser before when I was a villain and I sometimes fire targets in the woods. That is to say whenever I practice my shooting, I would use my laser guns or real guns to fire at paper targets, decoys, and clay birds."
With Big Billy and Grubber, Billy is holding Midnight in his arms as Nero is beside Grubber. Nero sniffed around the air and floor, then his ears perked up and he began to bark. Billy asks, "What's wrong, Nero? You found a scent? Sick him!" Nero took off down the hall and once he reached the grand staircase, he jumps up and pounces on Mojo!
Mojo chuckled when Nero began licking his face, then he said, "Alright, boy. Stop it! Hey!" Nero gets off Mojo, then Grubber and Billy see the monkey and their buddy. Snake said, "Billy, Grubber, Accce is missing." Billy said, "Ace is gone? We lost Arturo." Mojo said, "And I lost Rebecca. We better stick together and search around the mansion top to bottom. Plus, we have Nero and he could sniff out anything with Midnight. With her, she could try to squeeze through some big cracks or use her paws to pull some strings."
"Exccccelent idea, Mojo." Snake replies obligingly, as the group then begins trekking off down the hallway, with the dog and cat standing on either side of them. As they pass by a doorway, Midnight hears it slowly creak open; she rapidly motions toward it. "Mew, mew!"
"What issss it, girl?" Snake inquires. "Did Timmy fall in the wellsssss again?" The little cat points behind Snake, "Mew, mew!"
"Huh?" Snake glances over and sees Sedusa silhouetted in the dark, in the open doorway. "YIKESSSS!" Snake's hat pops off of his head with fright; he quickly grabs it back on and scampers back after the group. "Goodness, is something wrong?" a concerned Mojo inquires. "Y-y-y-yeah," Snake shudders frantically. "I jus' sssaw ssssomeone ssssstandin' in da doorway, and they had long, creepy hair ssssstandin' on endssss!" Billy gives an audible gulp. "Oh no!"
"Don't worry, Snake," Mojo says reassuringly. "They can't do anything with us around, which is to say that it would not be wise for them to take on all six of us, which is to say that we would most certainly have them outnumbered six to one."
As they continue down the hallway, a nearby ornate chest creaks open and a balloon with a strange face painted on it and a fishing hook tied to its string floats out and attaches itself to the back of Billy's belt. Nero barks and motions toward the balloon, "Ruff, ruff!"
"Duh, what is it, boy? Are da James Brothers robbin' da stage coach?"
Nero points behind Billy, "Ruff, r-r-ruff!"
"Huh?" As he peeks over his shoulder, Billy notices the balloon and freaks out. "Ugh, o-oh no!" He scrambles back over to the group, "Duh, hey guys, do you see anyone followin' me?"
"Hm, I don't sssssee anybodysssss-" Snake is cut off sharply as the balloon floats back up over Billy's head. "G-guhh! YAAAAAH!" He quickly scrambles back behind the group.
Billy glances over and sees the balloon floating up in his face. "Y-yeaa-aaa-aaah! I mus' be haunted!" He frantically swats the balloon away, but it simply floats right back again. As he passes by a mirror, Billy stops and dolefully takes a look at himself. "Maybe it's me." At that moment the balloon floats back over his head again. "N-n-n-nyahhhh, I mus' be losin' it!"
Billy quickly rushes into a nearby room; little does he notice that the balloon is slowly floating toward the flame of a candle on the wall nearby. As it touches the flame, the balloon bursts loudly. POP! "Gah!" Billy flees in fear and ends up getting tangled up in a curtain hanging on a nearby window. "Wah! Dis is a crazy house!"
Hearing the pop and the crash, the group freeze in place outside and look around in perplexity. "Thbbbtht, phthhbt?" Grubber inquires apprehensively. "I don't know, Grubber, but it could be our kidnappers coming back." Mojo replies angrily. He had so wanted to find who did this and save Rebecca and his friends.
Nero growls fiercely as Snake quickly grabs a large ceramic vase off of a nearby stand. "They better think twicccce before they tanglesss with ussss!" Snake stands by the door, brandishing the vase like a weapon, when suddenly, Billy rushes out the door, wrapped in the curtains. "AAAAAUUUUGH!"
"Ohmigossssh!" Snake exclaims. "A ghosssst!" He quickly swings the vase, crashing it down on Billy's head, then runs away in fear. A dazed Billy slowly climbs to his feet, letting the curtain slide to the floor. "Ooooogh..." Hearing the sound, Snake whips around. "Hey Billy, did'ja sssssee that ghossst what jussssst ran by here?"
"Was he a fat one?"
"Yesssss."
"THAT WAS ME!" Billy exclaims frantically.
Nero whimpers sympathetically. "Aw, gee, ssssorry, cousin, I didn't mean ta clock ya'ssss like that." A concerned Snake says apologetically as he helps Billy up and dusts him off.
"Duh, no problem." Billy replies graciously.
