CANCELLED-chapter 7
Hank and Bobby quickly untied Peggy.
"Peggy!, you're alive! what happened to you!" Hank asked with concern.
"Oh, Hank, it was terrible, These terrible people kidnapped me and tied me up here! They made me watch terrible shows and this evil man kept interviewing me about the most pointless things! It was awful!" Peggy shook as she spoke.
"Come on" Hank said, throwing away the ropes, "We're getting out of here"
The man with the tazer stirred.
"Dad! He's getting up!" bobby squealed.
Hank picked up the man's tazer and zapped him with it.
"Lets get out of here!"
The Hill family left the room and ran down the hallway. Hank led the way, carefully checking around each corner. People were shouting things from the lobby.
At the end of a hallway was a door marked GARAGE.
"Come on, we can take one of their vans" Hank said.
"What happened to the truck?" Peggy asked.
"I think it might be gone" Hank said. He felt as if a weight dropped in his stomach. He loved that truck.
they snuck over to the garage door. Hank put his fingers to his lips "shhhh" . Peggy and Bobby nodded.
Hank opened the door. There was a handful of black vans parked along the wall and an office at the end. the garage doors were closed.
"I'll grab some keys from the office, you two wait here" Hank said, leading hem behind a pile of tires.
Hank walked quickly over to the office, the hair on the back of his neck stood up. He reached for the doorknob and opened it.
"Whose that!" A man inside said.
The man wearing sunglasses and Hank locked eyes at each other.
There was an emergency button on a desk. They both glanced at it.
Hank shook his head.
The man looked at the switch again, then back at Hank.
A clock ticked in the background.
Hank began to sweat.
the man quickly reached forward for the switch. Hank instantly reacted and tazed him.
"Argh!" The man shouted, and began flailing about the room. His arm reached forward and knocked over a tool box and a computer monitor. He was having a mild seizure from the electrocution. He swung his arms around. Hank ducked and grabbed some keys. He spun around and ducked again as the flailing man swung his arms around again. Hank pushed him out of the way and hit the garage door switch. The garage doors outside the office began to open. The man collided with Hank and nearly knocked him over. Hank tazed him one more time, then ran out of the office. The man continued to flail inside, spittle flying from his mouth.
Hank clicked the tracker on the keys. One of the vans beeped.
"Peggy! Bobby! Get in the Van!"
Peggy and bobby ran towards the Van and got in. Hank went around and opened the drivers side door.
Inside the office, the flailing man spun around and slipped. He fell backwards and turned his head mid-fall. He hit his face against the desk ,breaking his nose. He fell to the floor, but in the last moment he reached forward and hit something on the desk.
Outside, Hank turned on the car ignition just as the alarm went off.
"Hank!" Peggy yelled over the alarm.
Hank ignored her and shifted to drive. He sped forward out of the garage into the parking lot. Several men shouted at him but he drove away onto the street.
The van sped down the street, getting further and further away from the broadcasting station.
"Dad! There's a radio in the car!" Bobby shouted. He turned on the radio.
"This is Alpha team one...(static) We have lost track of target #1 (static)... Target #1 "Hank Hill" is no longer in the broadcast station (Static)... send troops to target #1's home (Static)... "
Hank turned off the radio.
"They don't know that we've escaped" Peggy said.
Hank nodded.
"But they're sending people to are home!" Peggy exclaimed.
Hank nodded.
"Hank! What are we going to do!" Peggy cried out.
"We got to hide, I'll drop you two off at Luanne's, they don't expect you two to live with Lucky, I'll go to Bill's house, I don't think they would bother to check on him" Hank said.
The Van pulled to a stop in front of Luanne's house.
"They could be watching for me, but you two should be fine here, Lucky has weapons" Hank said.
Peggy hugged and kissed him before getting out of the Van. She ran to the door with Bobby. Luanne cried out when she saw them, but Peggy quickly closed the door.
Hank drove down the street to Bill's house.
He flipped on the radio quick.
"We have (static) 3 men inside Target #1's home... (Static) No sign of "Hank Hill" anywhere, (Static)... stay inside the house... do not leave the home)
Hank flipped off the radio.
He quickly ran into Bills backyard and knocked on the back door.
Bill answered.
"Hank!" Hank covered Bill's house and quickly got inside, closing the door.
"Bill, Its not safe outside, I can't go home right now" Hank said. He walked into the living room and closed all the blinds.
Boomhauer was sitting on the couch (Yo man, ... Hank)
Bill walked into the room, concerned.
"Bill, this may seem crazy, but they're are men after me, I managed to rescue Peggy, I think its fox broadcasting, I think Dale was right!" hank said.
Bill and Boomhauer starred at him.
"Don't look at me like I'm crazy!, there are men out their after me and my family!" Hank said.
"We don't think you're crazy, Hank" Bill said.
"Then why are you looking at me" Hank said.
"We got this letter for you" Bill said, handing Hank a letter off the table.
Hank looked at Bill for a moment,then opened it.
HANK! I can't tell you who I am, It's too risky... please meet me out at the Arlington cemetery parking lot at 7pm , July 10th.
It was unsigned.
"July 10th... that's tonight!" Hank exclaimed.
"When did you guys get this!" He asked.
"Two days ago" Bill said quietly, looking at the floor.
"Bill! How could you not give this to me earlier!" Hank shouted.
"You seemed really depressed..but , we gave you the letter eventually!" Bill said awkwardly.
Hank looked at his watch.
"Well, I got to go" Hank said.
"Can we come too!" Bill and Boomhauer asked.
"It might be too dangerous" Hank said.
"You can use us as backup!" Bill pleaded.
"But it could be too risky!" Hank said.
"Come on, Hank!" Bill whined.
Hank sighed.
It was 7 PM.
Hank drove into the Arlington cemetery with Bill in his passenger seat.
Behind him, Boomhauer followed in his mustang.
they sat in two parking lots, waiting. A black van pulled up beside Hanks.
It flashed its lights twice. Hank did the same. Hank unrolled Bill's window.
The other Van unrolled its drivers window. Hank looked inside.
The man in the driver's seat was heavily bandaged around his face. He wore a hat, sunglasses and was smoking a cigarette.
"DALE!" Hank and Bill exclaimed.
"Shh! Hank! I can't let them know i'm alive" Dale said, glaring at them.
"But I saw you die! The explosion hit you and threw you in the air!" Hank exclaimed.
"I had to fake my death to get them off my track, but now time is running out" He said.
"But... Dale... I could have sworn... you exploded!" Hank said.
"Sorry I couldn't help you fight them, Hank" Dale said.
Dale continued.
"I've been doing research into the Fox network from my bunker, they've lost track of me, but they're going ahead with their plan" Dale said.
"What plan!" Hank demanded.
"They are planning on destroying Arlen through a series of explosions, those propane tanks from the Megalomart 50% off salesold very fast, and the chemical components in them are much more explosive then normal, and will cause a chain reaction" Dale explained.
"The explosions will occur tomorrow at some point in the afternoon, and then the landscape will be remodeled into some sort of town called "Stoolbend"
"That doesn't make sense ,Dale" Hank said.
"It gets worse, Hank" Dale said.
"they are planning to attack Rainy street tonight around midnight, they've created a list of all the major characters, most of which are found on Rainy street, the main target #1 being you, Hank" Dale said, pointing at Hank.
"you've surprised them, they did not expect you to be able to save Kahn and Minh, nor be able to save Bobby or rescue Peggy" He threw away his cigarette and pulled a new one out from the pack. He lit it and took a puff.
"There surprised how emotionless you have been to your mother's death, and how resilient you were to Seth MacFarlane's sex attack"
Hank blushed.
"See, when they captured Peggy, Seth MacFarlane interviewed her to learn your weaknesses, he then made a disguise and attempted to trick you multiple ways, including poisoned food, an attempt to get you to get Urethral surgery, and ultimately, to give you an extremely powerful STD. Seth MacFarlane assumed he could defeat you, which is why he pulled off an attack one night, and when all his strategies did not work, he created the propane explosion at the party, hoping to kill everyone, or at least kill you when you thought Peggy had not ran away from the gas leak, which I ultimately saved you from."
Dale took another puff on his cigarette.
"Aside from your resistances, he did not expect that Lucky would have a firearm on him, which did a lot more damage then you think, If he hadn't been recovering these past few days, he would have surely led an extreme assault on your home. His alternative was to attempt to kill you at work today, which did not succeed" Dale said.
"So... Why does he want to kill me?" Hank asked.
"Because you are the center of events in Arlen Texas, and without you the town will have no resistance point" Dale said.
"So how come they couldn't track me when I escaped?" Hank asked.
"You stole one of their Vans, a very convenient thing, and so they cannot track you in it, their equipment has several flaws" Dale explained.
"So... now what happens?" Hank asked.
Somewhere in the distance, he heard a helicopter.
"Well, we have to get everyone to gethere at this location" Dale handed Bill a map with an X on it "And break into the Fox network storage structure outside of town, and then escape with their vehicles"
Hank looked at the map.
"Dale ,that's crazy!, there's no way we could escape"
"If we take their vehicles and get far away from Texas, they won't be able to come after us. We will have to move very far away and act out of character for at least a few years t remain untrackable"
Hank looked at the map. The helicopter sound became louder.
"Hank, that van can fit alot of people, I need you to get Kaghn and Minh, Boby, Peggy, Luanne, Lucky, Bill and Boomhauer and meet me at the X, I will get my family and John Redcorn"
bill looked out the window.
"Dale, that Helicopter seems to be headed our way" bill said, worried.
"No way , Bill, we're all inside their Van's, they can't track us." Dale said.
"Boomhauer's not, Boomhauer's in his mustang" bill said. Hank and Dale looked at each other.
"Boomhauer!" Hank shouted. He looked over and unrolled his window.
"Boomhauer! Run!" Hank shouted.
boomhauer looked at him, then turned on his mustang and sped into reverse. He spun around in the parking lot and switch to forward.
"Hank, NO! Get BOomhauer into the Van!" Dale cried.
"BoomahueR!" Bill cried out, beginning to get teary eyed from fear.
"Boomhauer! Come back! Get in the van!" Hank shouted out the window.
Boomhauer was already driving away down the parking lot, he could not hear Hank. The Helicopter flew right over top, ignoring the vans.
"BOOMHAUER!" Hank, Bill and Dale cried out.
For a second, Boomhauer's mustang looked all right. The Helicopter flew by it. Then there was a sudden whistling noise for a split second. And Boomhauer's mustang exploded into flames, with Boomhauer inside.
"NO!" Hank cried out. Dale revesred out of the parking lot.
"Hank! Meet me tonight at the X! Don't be late, this is are last chance!"
He drove away, Leaving Bill and Hank starring at the remains of Boomahuers burning mustang.
