AND EAT YOUR FIRST BORN CHILD! lol, for those of you that have no idea what I'm talkin about, go watch world's greatest freakout 2, it's so funny. he says that on there. lol... okay, on with the story. It's about to get good!
"Ratigan?" asked Dawson, coming up behind Olivia.
"He's a genius, Dawson!" said Jade, yet again stealing Basil's lines. Of course, he hadn't really minded this time. "A genius twisted for evil. A napoleon of crime!"
"As bad as all that, ey?" said Dawson.
"Worse." said Basil from behind, making Dawson jump as lightening cracked and thunder roared behind them. "For years I've tried to capture him and I've come close, so very close! But each time, he's narrowly evaded my grasp! On the corner of London's keep, where Ratigan's at large. No evil scheme he wouldn't concoct. No depravity, he wouldn't commit. Who knows what evil he might be plotting, even as we speak."
Jade wasn't sure what to expect next, taking into consideration that that is where the movie faded into Ratigan's hideout.
Finally, Basil came out of his trance of Ratigan.
"So, was it you?" he pointed at Jade.
"My father wasn't taken. Her's was." Jade pointed at Olivia.
"Okay then. Tell me everything!" he said, turning his attention to Olivia. Jade could have told him everything herself, but she was thinking about what part was happening in the movie. Then, that song popped into her head.
From the brain that brought you the big ben caper
the head that made headlines in every newspaper
and wondrous things like the tower bridge job!
That cunning display that made Londoners sob
now comes he real tour de force!
Tricky and wicked of course!
My earlier crimes were fine for their times, but now that I'm at it again
An even grimmer plot has been simmering in my great Criminal brain!
"Jade?" came Dawson's voice through her trance and she looked around. Olivia had finished her story. She then realized that everyone was looking at her oddly.
"What was that?" asked Dawson, looking at her oddly.
"Yes. That was a very catchy tune. What was it?" Basil added, standing up from talking to Olivia and looking at her.
"Oh, well um..." great, getting caught singing the bad guy's song wasn't really a good thing. She thought up a lie, and she thought it up quick.
"Well, I think it's called the world's greatest miracle wine?" she said, proud of herself for thinking so fast.
"I have never heard it. What are the words?" asked Basil.
"Oh, well..." she had to think of some lyrics. Then, she realized she didn't have too. "I never really paid attention to lyrics. I just like the tune."
"Ah, I see." something told her Basil hadn't really believed her, but she really didn't have any choice. Like he would believe the other story any better...
"So, you're certain You've told me everything?" he turned back to Olivia, holding his pipe. "The slightest detail may be important."
"It's just as I said. And then my father was gone!" she said. At that conversation, it triggered in Jade's mind that Ratigan's song had ended and they were back to the scene scene.
"What do you make of it?" asked Dawson.
"mm, Ratigan's up to something! The question is..."
"What would he want with a toy maker?" jade finished his sentence for him. She just couldn't help it. He turned on her before lighting his pipe again and beginning to walk around.
"Oh no." Jade said, nearly to herself, running outside just before Olivia screamed because of Fidget in the window. Basil had turned to see both Olivia's action, and Jade's.
"Quickly Dawson!" yelled Basil, running after Jade. "I'm right behind you Basil!" came the reply.
Jade didn't pay attention. She was intent on catching Fidget. Sure, she might screw up the movie, but at least she would have completed something great in her boring life.
"Jade!" came the call behind her as she jumped on Fidget. But, he struggled in her grip and kicked her in the face. His hat fell off, and he scurried away.
"Jade." Basil was right beside her, and reached her hand out to her. She took it gratefully and suddenly, she felt a connection with him she had never expected to feel.
"Your eye." he said, and it was then only noticed the warm liquid running down her right eye.
"It's nothing." she said, looking away.
"Now here, let's go inside. I'll patch it up." he said, as he took her back inside.
"Scoundrel's quite gone." Dawson said to Olivia.
"Not for long." said Jade, holding up the hat she had recovered from her fight.
"Nice work. Now, let's patch you up." he said, walking her over to a chair. He sat her down and went to a cabinet. He pulled out a first aid kit.
"He cracked it open. So, we'll stitch it." he said. She cringed. Not once in her real life had she ever gotten stitches.
"Now, hold still. It's not that bad." he said, pouring some alcohol on a wash cloth and dabbing it at the wound. Then, he grabbed the stitching supplies and stitched it up.
"Damn, he kicked you hard! black eye and everything." he commented once his work was done. "Now, let's get this case done." he said, grabbing his detective coat and putting his spy glass in one of the pockets.
"I'm coming too!" came Olivia's voice as she ran by the violin nearly knocking it off. Basil dived to save it.
"Certainly not." he said, setting it on the chair.
"Are we going to take a cab?" she asked, loading her pockets up with cheese crumpets.
"My dear, I don't think you understand," he said, beginning to sit down. "It will be quite," he sat and Jade grabbed the violin out from under him. "Dangerous."he came to a full sitting position.
"You might wanna watch where you put that." said Jade, handing it to him. He gawked, but quickly recovered.
"Ah, yeah. Thank you Jade." he said, setting the violin down.
"Olivia, I've made up my mind, though. You are absolutely not accompanying us, and that is final!" he stomped his foot.
"Basil, she's coming one way or another, you know that!" said Jade, as she began to look around for a way up to Sherlock's house to get Toby.
"Ah, very well." he said, beginning to stomp over to the book case. He pulled on a book, and the case pulled out.
"so that's how you did it." Jade said, to herself mostly. Her, Dawson, and Olivia followed Basil through the passage way and they came to a circle door. Jade knew where they were.
Basil cracked the door open cautiously, and Olivia opened it full on, curiously looking around.
"And not a word out of you." he whispered to her. "Is that clear?" he asked.
"sh!" shushed Jade, pulling the door shut as Holmes and Watson walked by.
Holmes said something about a music festival and started to walk out, expecting Watson to follow.
"But Holmes! That Music is so frightfully dull!" he said, following him out. Basil opened it all the way once the door was shut. They all got out and began to look around.
"Toby!" shouted Jade, and Basil looked at her.
"Do you even know who Toby is?" he asked her.
"Isn't he a bloodhound?" she asked, as Watson and Olivia had their own conversation behind them.
"Who is Toby?" asked Olivia to Watson.
"Um, well Toby is... well he is-"
"I say Basil, who is this Toby chap?" he asked just as the ground started to shake.
"Ah, here he is now!" he announced as the dog came over, tongue hanging out. He licked Jade and she shrugged him off.
"Oh, he is just so darn cute!" she said, and she looked around for Olivia, just as Toby smelled the cheese crumpets and located her.
"You see, Toby has the most keen sense of smell." Basil explained about the great dog.
"Now, Toby..." Toby was too busy being scratched on the belly by Olivia to pay attention.
"Ahem!" Basil cleared his throat and began to tap his foot in impatience to the dog. Olivia slid off into Dawson's arms and Toby rolled over to face Basil.
"Now, Toby! I need you to find..." he stalled as he pulled out the hat. "This Fiend!" he shouted in triumph.
Toby began to growl.
"Yes, yes. Fiend. Fiend. Evil, peg leg! Crippled wing!" Toby stopped and stared oddly at Basil.
"Oh, he's a peg leg bat with a crippled wing." he explained. Toby began growling at the hat again.
"Aha, you got his scent?" he asked the hound. the hound hung his tongue and nodded.
"Good boy!" he shouted, grabbing a leash and hooking it into the collar.
"Miss Flanger hanger!" he announced.
"Flaversham!" her, Dawson, and even Jade shouted at Basil.
"Whatever... your father is as good as found! Toby!" he said, the hound began to run. "Seek him!" the dog stepped on Basil, but Basil kept a good grip and held onto the leash as the hound took off.
"Talley ho!" he shouted into the night as the three other mice ran after the hound.
Okay, finally found another good place to stop. DAmn, I just love this movie and proving how well I know it is so fun! You realized I haven't even looked at the movie to make sure i got the dialogue right? That's how good I am! That, and How much of a basil freak I truly am!
