Alright, next chapter coming up!!!
Liz was in the room with Remy. Basil was in the kitchen, sitting at the table, writing to Watson. Of course, he was asking about either Supernatural beings, or if the doctor had had any patients lately that looked as if they had been nearly brutally murdered, or brutally murdered.
"What's going to happen to us?" asked Liz, huddling in Remy's arms.
"I wish I knew. You're usually so sure with Ratigan. What's stopping you from running out that door, jumping on Max and just going?" He asked.
"I've learned too many times. That's how I've walked into the last few traps with him." she explained. "That and the fact that it seems as if nothing can kill him!" Remy let out a light laugh, and Liz grinned at her joke.
"No shit!" Remy confirmed.
"Well, Watson seems to have had patients coming in by the dozens for just two weeks!" said Basil. "If this is Ratigan, he's making quick work of his victims."
"Then I think it's about time someone put this bastard to rest." said Liz, glaring.
"Now hold on!" said Basil, as Liz began to walk out the door.
"No dad. You can come with me, or let me go alone. Which, I think we both have learned from the past that you'd better be there to get me out of any trap I fall into." she said, jumping on Max.
"Oh, so you've learned?" said Remy, coming out and leaning in the doorway, raising his eyebrow at Liz. She smirked at him.
"Well?" she said. "This time I questioned his help before going after Ratigan."
Basil let out a laugh. "She's got a point, son." He said. "Okay. I guess I better give you the benefit of the doubt." He added, jumping on Max. Remy stared at them for a moment, before finally jumping on Max himself. With that, they headed out for the darker side of London.
"What's our best bet?" asked Remy, obviously asking where they were going.
"I'm not sure. Most of the victims, according to Watson, have shown up around Down Lane." said Basil.
"Then that's where we're going." said Liz, not even bothering to look back at them. They knew she was dead set on finding Ratigan herself and killing him.
They arrived on Down Lane just as rain began to fall from the sky. The air was very musty, and shadows covered the walls along the alleyways. It was just almost 7:00 at night, the perfect time to catch the makeshift "Jack the Ripper".
"Um, guys. I've been thinking of a plan to catch this predator. But, you aren't going to like it. The victims have often been women, right?" she said, looking to Basil for an answer.
"Well, yes." he said, already knowing what she was suggesting.
"Then he would most likely go straight after me. And when he does that, I need both of you to jump him. Then, we'll capture him and tie him up. In the mean time we'll send Max to Scotland Yard, so they're prepared for the criminal." She said. They nodded their approval of the mission.
"You aren't going to argue with me?" she questioned.
"Well... I don't exactly love the idea of you putting yourself in danger like that..." said Remy, "But its really the best plan as far as we're concerned."
"Okay then. It's settled." She said, beginning to walk down the street.
"Wait, and how would we follow you?" asked Remy, noting that Ratigan wouldn't necessarily go for her when there were two others with her.
"I was thinking stay back a couple of blocks, then run like hell when you hear me scream." she said.
"Okay, I gotta object on the plan now!" said Basil, grabbing her to keep her from continuing her meaningless walk.
"Come on dad!" she protested.
"I don't like it! I doubt I can run that fast considering how old I'm getting." he said.
"Yeah, but he can!" she said, motioning towards Remy.
"Really, Basil. We haven't got much of any more plans." he added.
"Fine. But you better hope this kid can run as fast as you say he can." he said, letting her go.
"Don't worry, I know he can make it." she said, running off down the street.
"Now?" asked Basil, motioning to begin walking.
"Wait.... now." said Remy, beginning the casual walk with Basil.
They walked down the street for only five minutes before they heard Liz's blood curdling scream.
"Run Remy!" shouted Basil, beginning to run as well. Liz had been right. Remy was fast then Basil, but only by a hair in a mad sprint.
"Where are they?" asked Basil, coming up behind Remy as he stopped.
"I... I don't know!" He said, looking around the block. Blood coated one wall of the alleyway, and there was a puddle of red just below that wall.
"Um, Basil?" said Remy, turning towards the mouse.
"Yeah?" He said, not removing his eyes from the wall.
"I think we are all in really deep shit!"
