Me: Hi, So special thanks to all who are following, have favorited and have reviewed. The disclaimer is same as always. Happy reading. And you see Fidget in this one! :D

Basil, Terra and the band of gypsies watched from the trees as the train station loomed in view. It was a shipping train station and the workers were just finishing loading.

"You all ready?" Ilona asked and they nodded. Ilona counted with her fingers and she mouthed go and the group dashed for an open car. One of the gypsies pulled himself onto the car and began to help others on. Terra was helping pass children up when a cry caught her attention. A small girl about six had fallen and in the distance, Terra saw guards heading towards them. Ignoring the calls of the others, Terra rushed to the girl, snatched her up and dashed back to the car as the train began to pull out. Terra lifted the girl into the arms of a mouse on the train and was about to leap on herself when a bullet skimmed her leg, making her limp. Basil reached out to try and grab her.

"Terra!" Their fingers only just met when the guards pulled Terra away.

"No." Basil shouted as the train pulled farther and farther away. Terra struggled against the holds of the guards.

"Basil!" She cried, tears being to roll down her face. Terra watched with tear fulled eyes as the train carrying Basil drew farther and farther, until it disappeared over the hill.

"C'mon you little rat." One of the guards pushed her in the direction she had come. Terra wiped the tears from her eyes and let the guards lead her back to the city.

Ilona sighed sadly as Basil leaned against the door of the car, watching the sky as the sun began to break over the horizon. Ilona walked up and sat on the opposite side of the door, across from Basil. The two sat in silence for a few moments when Basil spoke.

"She slipped though my fingers." He muttered, keeping his gaze at the rising sun. Ilona sighed.

"Mr. Basil, you couldn't help what happened. It was her choice to help the girl that had fallen." Ilona assured him, but her words fell to deaf ears. Basil went off into his mind, wondering what would happen to her.

"Don't worry, Mr. Basil, we'll get her back. I promise." Basil looked at the gypsy mouse. She had a look of determination on her face, it made Basil smile.

"That is assuring Ilona." Ilona smiled and nodded. She stood and left Basil alone. Basil turned his attention back to the dawning sky.

'I promise, Terra, I'll do everything in my power to get you back.'

Ratigan was staring out the window of his study when there was a knock on his door.

"Who is it?" He called, glancing backwards.

"It's Raphael, Professor."

"Come in." Raphael opened the door, stepped inside and closed it behind him.

"What is it Raphael?"

"Terra's been caught." Ratigan perked up and turned.

"She has?" Raphael nodded.

"She was caught trying to catch a train with the detective and a bunch of gypsies." Ratigan hummed and smirked.

"Excellent. You may leave now."

"Yes, Professor." Raphael bowed and left, closing the door behind him. Ratigan smirked as he looked out the window again.

"Oh, Terra's in for a little surprise."

A pair of yellowed eyes peered out from a bush as a train pulled into the station below. The bat was hanging upside down in a tree, watching as the mice on the train hopped off and slipped away. Fidget flipped right side up and climbed down the tree. He had heard what had happened to Terra back in London, and the crippled bat knew that if Basil wanted to get her back then he would need the help of someone who knew his way around.

"Alright," Ilona said. "The town is only a few miles from here. Lets go." The group started to walk, when Basil felt like he was being watched and turned.

"Mr. Basil, What is it?" The little girl that Terra saved asked. Her name had turned out to be Mirella and Basil was starting to like the child.

"I'm not sure Mirella." Basil muttered. Fidget, who was watching them, ducked behind a wheel and peered out. A mouse that was standing nearby saw him and pulled him out.

"Mr. Basil," He called. "It seems we have a little spy on our hands." The mouse had grabbed poor Fidget by the collar of his wore sweater and Fidget was flapping his wings, trying to free himself from the mouse's grip.

"That's no spy, it's Fidget." Basil told him. "Put him down." The mouse dropped the bat on his behind and Fidget gasped for air while glaring up at the mouse that had been holding him.

"What are you doing here Fidget? Last I saw you, you were in the Thames." Basil asked.

"I got fished out by a human." Fidget told him. "The guy cared for me until I was better." Basil knelt and listened intently as the bat told him that he knew about what happened to Terra.

"Ratigan took her to his castle."

"Where is his castle?"

"Outside of London." Basil stood.

"And what makes you think that I can trust you?" He asked and it took a moment before the bat answered.

"You need someone who knows how to get around, right? I'm the one that can do that." Fidget flapped his wings in envious. When Basil didn't look convinced, Fidget sighed.

"Terra was one of the few that were nice to me. We were friends when she was a thief and I don't want anything bad to happen to her." Fidget confessed and Basil's glare softened. Basil sighed.

"Fine, you can help, but if I even think that you're stringing me along, there will be consequences." Fidget nodded and Basil helped the bat up. He wasn't sure about the idea of the bat helping him, but Terra's life was most likely on the line and Basil was going to have to take the risk and trust the bat.
