CHAPTER TWO: THE KIDNAPPING

"Okay Rhino" Bolt said, "If there's an emergency, you know where we'll be." "Stop worrying Bolt" Rhino said, "Everything will be fine." "Well, alright" Bolt said as he turned to face Mittens, "We'll be back in a few hours." "Take your time" Rhino said with a wink as he walked to the couch. "Well, shall we get going?" Bolt asked Mittens. "Yeah, I just wish I could say goodbye to the kids" Mittens said. "Me too," Bolt said, "But they're sleeping, and they'll be here when we get back." "I know" Mittens said with a sigh, "Okay, let's go." And with that, Bolt and Mittens headed off to their place for the first time since the kippens were born.

"Well," Penny's mom said, pulling a thermometer out of her daughter's mouth, "101.2. Definitely a fever. You're not going to school today. I'll call the school and get you some tea with honey before I go to work." "Thanks mom" Penny said. "No problem Penny" Penny's mom said as she left the room, "Now get some rest." "Okay" Penny said as she turned over in her bed and went to sleep.

As Rhino was watching TV, the kippens were waking up from their naps. "Hey Uncle Rhino" Lightning said as he led the others out to the living room. "Hey guys" Rhino said turning to face them, "How did you guys sleep?" "Very well" Sun and Moon said together. "Where's Mommy and Daddy?" Mia asked. "They went out for a bit" Rhino told them, "Do you know what that means?" "What" Blaze asked. "We can do whatever we want" Rhino cheered as he raised his tiny fists in the air. "YAY" all the kippens cheered. "But we can't tell them" Rhino said. "Okay Uncle Rhino" the kippens all said. "So what do you guys want to do?" Rhino asked. "We could play tag" Thunder suggested. "Yeah" Blaze agreed, "But just one thing." "What?" Thunder asked. "TAG" Blaze said as he tapped his brother on the arm, "You're it!" "Hey" Thunder said as his siblings ran off in all different directions. "Better start running" Rhino said to Thunder as he watched over the game. "I wonder if Bolt and Mittens are having fun" Rhino said to himself.

"This isn't fun" Mittens said. While they were walking down to their place, Bolt and Mittens came upon a house whose sprinklers were running and were spraying water right in their path. "Come on Mitt's" Bolt said, "It's only water." "True, but cats HATE water" Mittens said. "I have heard that," Bolt said, "but I never understood why." "Me neither" Mittens said, causing Bolt to give her a puzzled look, "It's a cat thing." "Alright" Bolt said, "Let's just walk around it." "Alright" Mittens said. As the two walked around the sprinkler, Mittens had a feeling that something wasn't quite right.

The bright yellow school bus was just pulling away from the front of Penny's house when the 2 dark figures sitting across the street woke-up. "Well," the first man said, seeing the bus pull away and not knowing that Penny was home sick, "there goes the girl." As he was saying this, Penny's mom was setting the alarm and heading out of the house to her car. "And there goes the old lady" the second man said. "Let's go" the first man said, getting out of their car. "Go where?" the second man said. "To get the kippens" the first man said, punching the second man in the back of the head. "Oh" the second man said, holding his hand to the back of his head.

"Okay guys" Rhino said once the kippens finished their game of tag, "What do you want to do next. "Let's play swat-the-jingle-ball" Blaze said. "Okay, where's the ball?" Boots asked. "Under the couch, I think" Moon said. "Okay, I'll get it" Rhino said as he scurried under the couch. Just as he got under the couch, the front door burst open, however, the alarm didn't go off. The kippens all turned around to look at the new arrivals. "GRAB 'EM!" the first guy shouted, as he dived at the kippens.

"GRAB 'EM." Penny woke up when she heard this. "What's that?" she asked herself. She got out of bed, grabbed her cell phone, and crept out of her room towards the stairs. She peered around the pillar at the top of the stairs and saw the 2 men dive and grab for the kippens. Her eyes widening, she crept into her mother's room and closed the door. Once she closed the door, she flipped open her phone and called 911. "Hello 911. What is your emergency?" the voice over the phone said. "Hello, there are 2 men in my house." Penny spoke into the receiver. "Do you know what they are looking for?" "I think they are after my pets. The Kippens." Penny explained. "Alright ma'am, stay on the phone with me, and I will send officers to your location. We have your address on file from the security company." "When will they be here?" Penny asked, a hint of fear in her voice. "In around 10 minutes." "Thank you" Penny said, still scared.

By this time, the 2 men had all the kippens in a burlap sack, except for Blaze and Lightning. "Hold the bag, I'll grab those last 2" The first guy said, thrusting the bag into his brother's hands, "And don't let them out!" "Alright Ray" the second man said. "IDIOT! DON'T SAY MY NAME DURING A JOB!" "Sorry Ray" the second man said. "GOT 'EM" Ray said as he grabbed both Lightning's and Blaze's tails and shoved them in the bag. "Let's go" Ray shouted as he and his brother ran out the door.

"They're leaving" Penny spoke to the 911 operator. "Police officers are closing in on your location. Can you see their car?" "Yes" Penny said as she looked out of her mother's bedroom window. "Can you see the license plate?" "Not all of it" Penny said. "What can you see?" "VEF5" Penny said, staring at the license plate on the criminal's car before it drove away. "Great. You will need to relay that info to the police when they take your statement. Police are near your location now. The next knock on the door should be the police." "Thank you" Penny said. "You're welcome. I'll let you off the phone now. You should call your parents to let them know what happened." "I will" Penny said into the receiver, "Thank you and goodbye."

Just as the police pulled up in front of the house, the criminal's car turned around the corner and disappeared. "Hello!" an officer called out as he approached the front door. Hearing this, Penny headed downstairs to meet the police. "Hello?" Penny called downstairs. The officer, not knowing if she was friend or foe, drew his weapon and held it down at his side. "Are you the one who called 911?" he asked. "Yes" Penny answered. "Come on down, we won't hurt you" the officer said, putting his weapon back in its holster. Penny complied and came down the stairs and approached the officer. "Hello, I'm Officer Douglas. What's your name?" the officer asked her. "Penny" Penny answered, tears coming to her eyes. "It's alright Penny" Officer Douglas said as he gave her a comforting hug, "now, can you tell me what happened?" Penny nodded her head as she pulled out of the hug. And as Penny told the officer what happened, Rhino peered out from under the couch. "I have to go tell Bolt and Mittens" he said to himself and, without being noticed by Penny and Officer Douglas, scurried out to find his 2 best friends.

An hour later, Penny's mom drove up the driveway and ran up to her daughter. "PENNY" her mom yelled, as Penny was telling Officer Douglas what happened, and hugged her, "Oh honey, what happened?" "Well, I woke up when I heard shouting from downstairs and crept to the stairs. I looked down and saw 2 men diving for the kippens. I went to your bedroom and called 911. The operator told me that the police were on the way and to get a look at their car and license plate. I saw it was a black or dark blue sedan. I couldn't see all of the license plate, but I did see part of it, VEF5, and she told me to tell the officers when they got here. After I saw them pull away, I saw the police car pull up. Then Officer Douglas came in and I told him everything I knew." Penny explained to her mom. "If that's all" Officer Douglas said, "I should get back to the precinct and get started on this case." "Thank you officer" Penny's mom said, showing him to the door. "I'll let you know if anything turns up" Officer Douglas said as he left the house.

"BOLT! MITTENS!" Rhino yelled as he reached the rought iron gates at the entrance to Bolt and Mittens' place. "That was good Bolt" Mittens said seductively as she and Bolt emerged from behind a big rock. "You were too Mitt's" Bolt said, and then looked up, "Rhino?" "Bolt, Mittens, I'm glad I found you" Rhino said running up to them. "What is it Rhino?" Mittens asked. "The kids are gone!" Rhino said. "WHAT!" Bolt and Mittens shouted at once. Mittens started crying and eventually broke down into tears. "Rhino," Bolt said, his arm around Mittens, "What happened?" "Well, 2 men broke into the house, grabbed the kids, put them in a bag, and drove off." Rhino explained. "We've…got...to…find…them" Mittens said between sobs. "But how?" Rhino asked. "The same way we did when we were trying to find Penny" Bolt said, "We stand together, and search." "But Bolt, back then, we knew where we were going" Rhino said, pointing out this one flaw. "We have to try" Bolt said, "Besides, you seem to forget I'm a dog. I can find a scent and follow it." "Alright then" Rhino said, "let's go." "Mittens," Bolt said, looking down at her, "are you up for this?" "Yes…Bolt" Mittens said between her sobs, which seemed to be dying down, "Now, let's go find our kids!" And with that, the 3 left for their next great adventure.
