It was Midnight as Eddie approached the door knocking. Olivia was fast asleep and Hiram was working on a miniature rocking horse as he heard the knocking he got up walking to the door
"Who is it" Hiram asked
"Special delivery of Mr. Flaversham" Eddie said placing the rag in his pocket as Hiram was prepared and didn't trust the voice he reached for a hand drill near his work bench as he held it up against the door
"Are you going to let me in" Eddie asked becoming irritated as Hiram drilled slowly thru the door not to create noise as Eddie saw the tip come thru and an eye staring at him
"You are one freaky Mouse Mr. Flaversham" Eddie said grinning
"Rat!" Hiram said trying to alarm Olivia, but no use she was still sleeping as Eddie jammed his metal hand thru the door
"Stay away" Hiram said pulling out a small mouse sized bat in defense as Eddie snatched it snapping it like a twig as Hiram ran to Olivia's room but Eddie easily outran him being younger and a rat as he swung a blow to Hiram's head knocking him out as Eddie felt his pulse
"Still Breathing, That's good" Eddie said as he slowly opened the door to Olivia's room as he glanced it the bed
" Damn that girl is one heavy sleeper" Eddie said slowly walking to the bed yanking off the covers seeing a plush toy as Olivia popped out from under the bed jamming the tack in Eddie's leg. Eddie screamed in pain swing his dart arm at her as he got a cut across her side and he pulled out the tack seeing Olivia clenching the wound running to the main door. Eddie grabbed her as he held The Ether rag to her mouth.
Hiram woke up the next Morning rubbing his head
"Ow what the blazes" Hiram said seeing the struggle
"Olivia" Hiram said rushing to his daughter's room seeing the struggle which occurred
"No" Hiram said falling to the floor with no hope sobbing as he wiped his tears. He remembered a mouse who could easily help him, The greatest Mouse detective in London, maybe the world lived just a few roads down. Hiram pulled himself together as he changed from his night-wear into day clothes as he rushed to Baker Street knocking frantically on the door
"Mr. Basil" Hiram shouted as a sleepy Dawson opened the door
"Can we help you; it's 7 in the morning" Dawson said
"I need Basil's help, my daughter Olivia she's been kidnapped!" Hiram said
"Kidnapped, Basil" Dawson called as Basil came down wearing his fancy robe smoking his signature pipe
"Yes my Doctor, oh Mr. FlimmyHammer" Basil said drinking a cup of tea
"Flaversham!" Hiram and Dawson corrected him
"Correction, what is your purpose" Basil said drinking his tea
"Olivia has been kidnapped" Hiram said as Basil spit out his tea
"Good Heavens" Basil said
"So you will take the Case?" Hiram asked hopefully
"My fine Hiram, I won't be able to get off this case
