A/N: SORRY THIS IS UP LATER THAN USUAL. I JUST GOT BACK FROM VACATION. I THOUGHT MY HOTEL ROOM WOULD HAVE WI-FI, BUT I WAS WRONG. OH WELL.
CHAPTER ELEVEN: THE RESCUE
Bolt, Mittens, Rhino and Crystal were walking down the road towards where the kippens were being held, when they came up to an old, abandoned warehouse. Rhino took the map out of Bolt's collar and looked at their location. "This is the place" Rhino said, throwing the map away, "we've found it." "So what do we do now?" Crystal asked. "We go in, grab our kids, and get out" Bolt said simply, as if it were obvious. "But what if they're dangerous?" Crystal asked. "That's no problem" Rhino said. "How do you know?" Crystal asked. "No car" Rhino said simply and pointing an empty driveway. "Nice" Mittens said, "Now let's get inside." "But how" Crystal asked. "There's an open window" Bolt said, pointing up to a window next to the front door. Let's go" Rhino said as all four animals climbed into the window.
Officer Douglas and Penny were sitting in his police car in a parking lot across the street from the YMCA. "So now," Officer Douglas said, "Tomorrow, after you put the bag into the locker, you come back here, and we watch for anyone going into the YMCA. If you recognize anyone, let me know, and I'll move in on them. Got it?" "I think so" Penny said. "Good" Office Douglas said, pulling a key out of his pocket. "Here's the key for the locker" he said, handing her the key, "It's for locker 268." "Alright" Penny said, taking the key.
Ray, Hank, Dr. Calico, and Penny's ex-agent were all piled into the car and were driving to meet the mastermind behind the whole plan. "So who is this 'mastermind'?" Ray asked. "You don't need to know" Dr. Calico said.
All the kippens were waking up from their nap. "Good night guys" Blaze said. "What?" Lightning asked. "Rather than good morning, it's good night since it is night time." Blaze explained. "Oh" Lightning said. "Guy's," Thunder said, his ear perking up, "Can you hear that?" "The rest of them perked up their ears and heard what Thunder was hearing. "It sounds like someone climbing through a window" Moon said. "You're right" Sun said, "But who would be climbing through a window?" "Who knows" Mia said, before they all heard someone yelling, "KIDS!"
"Give it up Bolt" Crystal said, "They're not here." "Forget it Crystal" Bolt said, resuming his search. "KIDS!" Mittens called, just a few feet from the door to the room the kippens were in. "Mommy!" she heard from behind the door. "BOLT!" Mittens called, running to the door, "They're in here!" Bolt, Rhino, and Crystal ran up to where Mittens was standing. "Kids, is that you?" Bolt asked through the door. "Daddy" they said. "That's them" Rhino said. "Uncle Rhino?" the kippens asked. "Yeah, it's me" Rhino said.
"Get us out of here" Thunder said through the door. "Hold on you guys" Mittens said, holding back tears. "Mittens" Rhino said, "Lift me up, I'll try and turn the doorknob." "Alright" Mittens said, lifting Rhino up. He tried to turn the knob, but it was locked. "It's locked" Rhino said, after Mittens had put him down. They all took a look around the warehouse for something they could use to open the door, with the exception of Crystal, who was looking for a possible murder weapon, but found nothing. Bolt, however, saw a crowbar sitting on top of a crate on the other side of the room. "Guys" Bolt said, running to grab the crowbar from the crate and carrying it back, "Help me get this in the door." Mittens, Bolt, Rhino, and, reluctantly, Crystal pushed the end of the crowbar into the door frame. "Kids, stand back" Mittens said. The kippens all ran to the back of the room. "OKAY MOMMY" they yelled. "Push" Bolt instructed. All four adult animals pushed against the crowbar as hard as they could. Slowly, but surely, the door was forced open. As the door opened, Bolt and Mittens saw their kids for the first time in days. "MOMMY, DADDY" the kippens yelled as they ran to their parents. "KIDS" Bolt and Mittens yelled as they ran to their kids. Once meeting, they all embraced in a huge hug. "OH, we've missed you guys" Bolt said. Mittens tried to say something, but all that came out were sobs of joy. "We've missed you too Daddy" Blaze said, "Mia even more so." "HEY" Mia said, looking at Blaze. "It doesn't matter" Mittens managed to say, "I'm just glad that we found you."
"Hey" Rhino said, did you guys forget your favorite uncle?" "UNCLE RHINO" the kippens yelled as they broke the hug with their parents and dog-piled on top of Rhino. "Easy" Rhino said, popping his head out from the bottom of the pile. "We've missed you" Thunder said. "And I've missed you." Rhino said. "Is anyone going to introduce me?" Crystal asked. "Who is that Mommy?" Boots asked. "That is Crystal" Mittens explained, "she worked with Daddy on his show long ago." "Wow" they all said. "Crystal, Bolt said, pointing to the kippens one by one, "These are our kids, Blaze, Mia, Boots, Thunder, Moon, Sun, and Lightning." "They're adorable" Crystal lied, faking a smile. "Let's get out of here before the kidnappers get back" Mittens said. "Right" Bolt said, let's go kids." "Coming Daddy" the kippens said as the family and Crystal climbed out of the window to freedom.
"Where are we going Daddy?" Mia asked, about 1 hour after they left the warehouse and was about a block away from a Hollywood Planet Restaurant, about 30 minutes from the falls. "We're looking for a place to spend the night." Bolt replied. "Bolt," Rhino said, "I saw a spot where we could stay close to the falls." "Alright then," Mittens said as they turned and headed back to the falls, "let's go guys." Excellent, Crystal thought, now I'll have a second chance. And I can get rid of those little brats too. That will erase ALL traces of that cat from the world.
They arrived at the falls just as it was getting dark and the falls were being lit up with the colored lights. "This is it" Rhino said as they walked over to the bushes he was in before. "Alright kids," Mittens said, "time for you to go to sleep. I want to talk with Daddy alone" "Awwww" they groaned, but they did go into the bushes to sleep. "Do you want to look at the falls before going to bed Mitt's?" Bolt asked. "Sure" Mittens said, "We'll talk there." They went over to where they were sitting before and watched the beauty of the falls. As they sat at the railing, Crystal was sneaking up on Mittens, preparing to implement her plan once again. While this was going on, Bolt noticed Mittens had a tear running down her cheek. "Penny for your thoughts" Bolt said, wiping the tear from her face. "I'm just so happy now" Mittens said, "It's like our family is whole again." "Yeah" Bolt said with a sigh. "Bolt, I was thinking" Mittens said. "What?" Bolt asked. "I think we should let Crystal join our family." Crystal, hearing this, stopped dead in her tracks. "Really?" Bolt asked. "Yeah" Mittens said, "The kids seem to like her, and she is an old friend of yours." "I think you're right Mittens" Bolt said. Maybe I had Mittens pegged all wrong, Crystal thought, even after all the pain I put her through, true she doesn't know it was me, she still wants me to be a part of their family. She turned and went into the bushes to go to sleep, having decided to let Mittens live. She had finally accepted Bolt's choice.
The next morning, Penny got out of bed. It was Christmas Eve, the drop-off date. Penny got dressed, brushed her teeth, and went to the dining room to get breakfast for her and her mom. When she entered the dining room, she heard someone call "Penny." "Off…" Penny started before Officer Douglas cut her off. "Not here" he whispered, "The kidnapper might be in earshot, call me Nick." "Alright" Penny said. "So are you all set for tonight?" Nick asked. "Just about" Penny said taking 2 plates, "I just need to put a K on the bag and it will be all set." "Excellent" Nick said, "Remember. At 5 o'clock, you put it in the locker and meet me in the parking lot." "Alright" Penny said, spooning some eggs onto the plates, "So what do we do until then?" "Whatever you want" Officer Douglas said. "Great" Penny said, putting some bacon on her plate and sausage on her mom's. "So," Nick said, I'll see you later." "Okay Nick" Penny said, as she left the room.
"Are we there yet?" Hank asked for the millionth time. "Yes" the ex-agent said as he pulled the car into a parking lot outside a movie theatre near the YMCA. "Now," Dr. Calico said, "Where is he?" As he said this, a man stepped out of the shadows next to the theater. "There he is" the ex-agent said. "Ahhh," The new man said, walking up to them, "I see you decided to come by." "Yes sir" Dr. Calico said, as he and the others got out of the car. "Now," the mastermind said, "At what time did you tell them to deliver the ransom?" "At 5:00 today" Ray spoke up. "Excellent" the mastermind said, "It's 11:00 now. So at 5:00, I will go pick up the ransom, and we will be 100 million dollars richer!" "But what about the police?" the ex-agent asked. "No concern. The only ones who came up were Penny and her mother." "Good" Dr. Calico said.
When the group of animals woke up, Bolt looked up at a nearby clock. "Wow, 12 o'clock already." "We slept late." Mittens said. "Yeah" Crystal said. "Mommy," Lightning said, "I'm hungry." "Us too" Boots said. "Alright" Mittens said, turning to face Rhino, "Rhino, could you take the kids to get breakfast?" "Sure Mittens" Rhino said, "Come on guys." As Rhino and the kids were walking away, Mittens turned again, this time to face Crystal, "Crystal, could we talk to you?" "Sure" Crystal said, the three of them walking out to the railing once again.
