In Mr. Boomer's office Ralph's father, Sabrina's parents, and Violet's parents were in there along with Mr. Boomer. Mr. Boomer said in a stern but spooky like voice "don't worry I have two of the staffs looking for Violet right now. I'm sure she hasn't gone too far". Sally nodded and said "I'm sure hope your right". Jack kept shaking his head with his right bony hand on his head. "I don't understand why could my little girl hurt someone like that. That's not like her at all". Ralph and Sabrina wanted to tell him and Sally the truth of what really happen but they were afraid of getting more in trouble as they are now. Then a tall half fish and half demon woman came in the office. Mr. Boomer saw her and ask "Miss. Heidiwalker, have you found her yet"? Miss. Heidiwalker shook her head and said "we believe that she might possibly have run away somewhere". Jack fell into a chair and said with both of his hands on his head "oh no! I am such a fool for not doing something for her". Sally said "Jack, don't blame yourself for this, we didn't expect this to happen". Jack yelled "of course it is and I... I..." he couldn't let out what he wanted to say though his tears. Sally too began to cry and she knelt down next to him and put her head on his lap. Sabrina and Ralph felt awful for Violet and what had happen to her. They too felt that they should have done something to stick up for their friend. Mr. Boomer thanked Miss. Heidiwalker and she left the office room.
Ralph's father who has a red coat and a golden like rope on came up to Jack and Sally. He accept Violet as the princess of the pumpkin patch and would also do anything that he feels is right to do. He said in a soft but deep voice "Jack, Sally" Jack and Sally look up to face Ralph's father. "If you want I will let everyone else in town know about Violet's disappearance and I and my son will help you two find your daughter". Sally and Jack both nodded and thank Ralph's father for his kind offer. Ralph walk up to his father and was about to say something when Polly came into the office. Ralph saw her and he was fury with anger towards her that he couldn't help but yell at her. "See what you, Olivia, and Lydia had done? Everyone believe you three because you all 'oh I'm so pretty and popular that I am so special'. Well guess what you've got your wish of getting rid of Violet! Because now she ran away and we may not able to find her again! I hope you three idiots are happy now"! Sabrina was shock and couldn't believe Ralph said what he had just call Polly. Ralph's father yelled at Ralph "Matthew Dean, Mummont, don't you dare raise your voice at that nice girl"! Ralph yelled "ha, nice girl? ha, she and her two best buddies are more like evil to me"! Sabrina then butt in except she didn't yell like Ralph did. "yeah, I mean we been trying to tell you all that we speak the truth. Lydia try to hurt Violet but she was able to get away and Lydia hit her fist on the wall". Ralph said with his hands in the air "thank you, finally came to the sense of all Halloween". Mr. Boomer yelled "no! Lydia speaks the truth and that is final"! Jack intervene and said "I believe them and I know that Violet won't hurt anyone, plus I was going to come here later on to speak to you about this girl Lydia". Mr. Boomer, Ralph's father, and Sabrina's parents looked at Jack with sock. Even Polly did as well.
Sally agreed and said "that make perfect sense, I mean Violet is a sweet gentle girl as I am. She will do anything to be friends with about anybody". Sabrina said "yeah, except those who are mean" she stare right at Polly who now was getting a bit nervous. Mr. Boomer said "but Jack, these kids are.." before he could even finish Jack got up and walk up to his desk and look right at Mr. Boomer in the eyes and said in a very deep voice "I know my daughter and you will not condemned her as being a human child. Do I make myself clear"? Mr. Boomer's eyes grew wide, afraid of Jack and how Jack stare right at him. "yyy... es... sir, I mean Jack". Jack straighten up and said "good, now I believe these kids and plus my little girl never lies when it comes to bad situations like her being bully by Lydia". Mr. Boomer didn't know how to response and just kept quiet. Ralph's father turn to his son and ask "is this all true son"? Ralph said "yeah, that's what we've been trying to tell you, dad". Ralph's father look at Polly and said "I can tell that you my dear had been lying this whole time". Ralph's father is very good of telling rather someone is telling the truth or not. He knows when they are lying just by their reactions of eye content. Polly saw everyone staring at her now and she gulped and said "I suppose I better move along". Before she could leave she felt a bony finger grab her shoulder. She look up and saw Jack giving her a nasty glare. She gulped again and began to get scare now. Jack said in a low but more deeper voice that made Polly shiver though her gills. "You dare to pick on my girl and lie to us to stick up for your friend, Lydia". Polly stare at him and she knew that if she lie one more time, Jack is going to make her tell the truth. "I... I... I had to". Jack ask still in his deep voice "why"? Polly said still pretty scared "because if I didn't then Lydia would beat me and Olivia up. I'm sorry, I didn't expect her to run away. Honest". Jack relies that this time she was telling the truth. He let go of Polly and said in a soft voice "if Lydia treat to do her way and to be her friend is to be a bully then Lydia is not a good friend". Polly thought a minute and then said "I never thought like that before". Jack nodded and said "tell Mr. Boomer what really happen". Polly gulp and knew that she had no choice but explain what happen to Mr. Boomer.
When she finish explaining to Mr. Boomer what really happen Mr. Boomer nodded. "I see, well I am glad you came to tell me of what really happen but you know that I will have to ex spell you, Lydia, and Olivia for a whole week, just because you three plan this awful idea to harm Violet". Polly nodded and said "I understand". Mr. Boomer nodded and he looked at Ralph and Sabrina "I am terribly sorry for the mess up. I mean you two didn't deserve the punishment at all. But if you two want since you two are great friends with Violet, you two can skip school for just today and help find Violet". Ralph and Sabrina smiled and both of them said "thank you, Mr. Boomer". Mr. Boomer smiled and said "you can leave while I deal with Polly and Olivia" he look straight at Polly while talking. Polly only put her head down and did not look at anyone when everyone was leaving the office room. Polly sat down in the chair and thought to herself "I know what Lydia and Olivia are going to say to me. They are going to kill me for this". Mr. Boomer got Olivia in the office and call Polly's and Olivia's parents. Olivia was pretty upset at Polly and call her a baby because she was afraid of Jack the Pumpkin King. Polly didn't do nothing but sat there and twirl her fingers.
Meanwhile the news spread though out the whole town that Violet is missing. The mayor heard the news and quickly ran out of his office and ran up to Jack and Sally. His face twirled around from a happy face to a sad and worry face. He said "Jack, Sally, I heard that your daughter is missing. I came to try to help". Jack said gracefully "great, why don't you and everyone else search around town and partly of the graveyard. While Sally and I search around the other half of the graveyard". The mayor agreed and he got everyone to search around the town and half of the graveyard. Sally and Jack went to the Spiral Hill in hopes Violet may be there. But as of course no sign of Violet anywhere. Sally look at Jack and ask "oh Jack, where else could she be"? Jack said with a gentle voice "don't worry dear, I'm sure we'll find her". Jack hugged Sally and then he happen to see Zero's dog house (which really is a gravestone). Jack let go of Sally and said "I almost forgot. Zero can pick up any sent. I'm sure he will pick up Violet's sent very quickly". Sally said "great idea Jack". Jack walk up to Zero's dog house and he patted his bony leg with his bony hand and soon Zero came flying out of the gravestone, barking happily. Jack said "Zero, Violet is gone and we need you to pick up her sent". Zero bark an agreement and began to smell. Once he got Violet's sent he barked to get Jack and Sally attention. Jack smiled and said "he got her sent. Great job Zero". Zero bark and began to follow the sent. Jack and Sally follow closely behind Zero. Once they all made down the hill. Zero kept going straight toward the Hinterlands. Jack heart race when he saw his dog going into the Hinterlands. He look at his wife who was very worry now. "This is what I fear. Violet is probably going to find somewhere where she won't be bullied anymore". Sally look at Jack and asked "you don't think she is trying to find Christmas Town do you"? Jack said "it can be possible". Sally gasp. She and Jack went following behind Zero. Jack said when they enter into the Hinterlands "I hope we can stop her before she get's too far". Sally said "I hope so too, Jack".
