Bails and Balls

After Jake got the real names of Huntsboys 88 and 89 and informed his sister about that, Haley and Fu Dog went to their apartment (they currenty share one) to search for the disc piece they stole from the museum.

"It's a good thing my brother joined the police or we wouldn't know where Huntsboys 88 and 89 live." Haley comments.

"I know, Haley." Fu replies. "But remember. It's a matter of time until the police comes here so we must hurry."

Before Haley has the time to reply, they see the door being forced on and they flee through the window so they wouldn't be caught. Jake and Eric enter right after that.

"What a mess, Jake." Eric comments. "Do you think somebody else wanted this ancient disk?"

"Either this or they are very sloppy." Jake replies. "Let's keep searching. Maybe we'll find something."

"We'd better hurry." Eric says. "They called a very good lawyer."

Meanwhile, at Fillmore Middle and High School, a bachelor auction is being held.

"I still don't know how you convinced me to do this, Doug." Kyle, Jr. says. "It's so humiliating."

"Hey, you lost the bet." Doug replies. "Now go to the stand and see how much the girls will offer for you."

"I only hope the Spudinski girl doesn't make the highest offer." Junior says.

"Are you kidding?" Doug asks. "She's the richest girl at school. The only way she won't outbid the other girls for you is if she doesn't want you."

"Then your problems are over." Todd intervenes. "The Todster is here and once she sees me I'll be the one she'll try to buy. And she's not that bad. At least her makeover makes her more acceptable."

"Excuse me, guys but I must host an auction." Doug says and then prepares himself to announce the auction. As everyone but Todd expected, Laura Spudinski made the highest offer for Kyle Wilkins, Jr. In fact, she offered even more than all the cherleaders together offered for Todd.

"Congratulations, Laura Spudinski." Doug exclaims. "Kyle Wilkins, Jr. is yours for the whole week, ending it after the great ball."

Laura now hopes she'll finally win Junior's heart. Meanwhile, at the Police Station, 88 and 89 are ready to be interrogated with their lawyer present.

"All right, I wanna know where is the disk piece stolen from the museum." Jake says.

"My clients don't have to answer this question, gentlemen." The lawyer replies.

"Let's make a deal." Eric says. "You guys tell me where the artifact is and in return the museum will drop the charges and you'll be put on probation during a few months for the invasion at the Rotwood household."

"No way." 89 replies. "You want us out of here so the dragons will be able to capture us."

"Yeah." 88 adds. "We're safer in prison."

"What? You guys also believe in dragons?" Eric Mason asks. "How many of these weirdoes live in New York?"

"You also should believe dragons are real since your partner is one of them." 88 says, pointing at Jake.

"Do you really believe this or are you just acting to plead insanity?" Jake asks.

"You don't have to answer this question." 88 and 89's lawyer tells them.

"Jake Long is a dragon, I swear." 89 says. "We can give a whole list of the dragons we know."

"I have enough of this dragon talk." The A.D.A. says. "Unless they're willing to give a serious answer this conversation is over."

The Huntsboys whisper something to their lawyer and he agrees to end this conversation. "Fine. Then we'll meet at the courtroom."

"Wait." Jake says. "One more question: The Rotwoods are missing their daughter. Do you know anything about that?"

Both Huntsboys deny having anything to do with that. Meanwhile, something unusual is about to happen at the Isle of Draco.

"All that problem with the remaining slayers is something we must interfere in person." Councillor Kulde says.

"I understand your worries but don't forget Councillor Haley is already on the case." Councillor Andam says.

"I don't forget that but I can't help but worry about how many other new slayers will go after us since the former American Dragon's own son and his friends are living proof Huntsgirl's wish for the destruction of the Huntsclan didn't prevent the births of a whole new generation." Councillor Kulde replies.

An alarm then sounds and the Dragon Council investigates. Upon entering the hall where they kept Jake's Dragon chi they notice it's gone and see a red dragon leaving the room.

"He already caused problem before but I've never expected him to push things that far." The African Dragon says.

That night, when Jake gets back home, he finds his sister.

"Any luck?" He asks.

"No, Jake." Haley answers. "We found nothing at their home and the traps at the Huntsclan headquarters kept us from making a full search. At least the Huntsboys can't go anywhere while in jail."

"Tough luck on that department." Jake says. "Their lawyer managed to bail them out."

"What?" Haley asks. "How can anyone allow them to walk away after all they did against the magical creatures?"

"They can't be judged for that on a courtroom led by people who don't acknowledege the existence of magical creatures." Jake replies.

Before Haley has a chance to reply, the Dragon Council enters Jake's living room.

"The Dragon Council?" Jake asks in surprise. "What do I owe that honor."

"We think you already know the answer for that, Jacob Long." Councillor Andam angrily replies. He and the other Councillors (minus Haley, who doesn't know what's this all about) prepare to suck Jake's Dragon chi from him again, only to notice he doesn't have it at all.

"I don't understand." Councillor Kulde says. "Didn't you get your Dragon chi back?"

"Of course not." Jake answers. "I've stayed in town the whole day investigating the case of the museum robbery."

"That's true." Haley adds.

"Fine." The African Dragon says. "But someone did steal your Dragon chi. And if the thief isn't you, prepare yourself because as long as you're alive nobody else will be free to use your chi."

"Okay." A scared Jake Long says. "But who would steal my Dragon chi?"

"Uh-Oh." Haley says.

"What's wrong, Haley?" Jake asks.

"I think I know who did it." Haley answers.

So many mysteries in just one fic. Please Read and Review. I'm sorry for making a question that has nothing to do with the fic but does anyone know the Huntsmaster's code number? I think that in 'Hero of the Hourglass' when we see him as an apprentice his number could be seen. I think it was one hundred something.
