Scrooge was pacing around the principal office waiting for the police while Miss Beakley was tending to Louie . The old women hugged him tight .Cleaning up his knee and placing a band aid on it as the nurse isn't even allow to give a band aid anymore.
"Are you alright "She asks in nanny motherly tone. He bounces off the table turns and hugs her."next time just stand back we can't let you boys get hurt over this .Miss Beakley says in her way of scolding him.
"Miss Beakley she was kidnapping our little cousin I wasn't going to just stand there and watch"Louie says turning the door handle and walks into the hallway "I am fine "
"You need to keep yourself safe and let us worry about Webby .Don't ever put yourself in danger to save her"Miss Beakley hugged him close"We don't want anything to happen to you either"
"I know but we can't just watch someone hurt her .We just can't ."Louie says opening the door to the office with Miss Beakley following.
Scrooge pulls Louie hat off ruffles his feathers and puts it back on"you alright lad?"
"I am fine "he nods back at Scrooge who gives him a quick hug before he goes back to pacing. The police burst into the office and explain how they going to try an use an amber alert to try and find the girl.
A few hours down the road and far out of Duckburg .Ruthie checked them into a cheap hotel .They are sitting on the bed. Webby's hair had just began coming in and was beautiful blond color it was just below her shoulder . Her mother pulled a small box out of bag before turning her to look at her .She opened the box as she is talking to her.
"Webby we can't be who we were before if we do we will get caught "She says placing something's down on the bed"We have to be other people"
"But I only know only know how to be me"Webby says looking back at her.
"Sit in front of me ok ."Her mom says turning her face front and before she knew it Webby's hair was turned was turned brown and so was her moms they look into the mirror .
"Do you like it ?"Her mother says almost laughing
Webby wrinkles her nose"Well I guess I could get use to it"
Ruthie pulls off her shirt now covered in dye and puts a new dress on her .Webby looked in the mirror while her mother changed her clothes .Her dress had a hello kitty print on the side and Webby smiled
"How did you know how much I love Hello kitty"Webby spins in circles in the mirror
"Your backpack the one you forget at my apartment "Her mother smiled and hugged her"Are you hungry I can order us a pizza or something ? If your anything like me you like pepperoni ,sausage ,and mushroom "
Webby nods her head "I think you must know everything about me already"She was looking in her mothers purse she found some perfume .She sprayed some on her neck and wrist .
"Take it easy with that stuff babe it's strong "Her mom laughed waving her hand around "It smells like dead snuck in here ."Her mom picks up the phone and calls one the pizza places that left coupons on the hotel table .She order pizza,breads sticks ,and pop .She again sits down next to Webby "Remember how I told you we have to be different people .Well from now on your going to be Molly and I am Heather. We can't ever talk about your grandmother,or that man you lived ,or his nephews or anything from our past"
"But why not ?"Webby says still looking through her purse .Finding a bottle of pink nail polish and pulling it out .
Ruthie takes her hand sitting it on the near by table she opens the bottle and begins painting her nails."Because if you do that they will come take mommie to jail and you will be become an orphan because there will be no one to take care of you"
"Grammy and Uncle Scrooge will take me back"She says watching her mother paint her nails. Ruthie raps Webby into a hug and kisses her forehead .
"I am sorry baby but you know how you always thought they didn't really want you there well they don't want you back they asked me to take you and that's why your uncle wrote me this check to give me some money to help take care of you"Ruthie says taking the check out of her purse and showing it to her.
Webby looks at it"But you said he tried to give you money to make you leave"Webby says with shocked look on his face.
"I told you that baby to protect you I didn't want you knowing the truth"She hugs Webby tight "You don't need to worry were going to be together for ever I promise"
Scrooge ,the boys,Miss Beckley,and Duckworth were back at home .Scrooge was pacing in worry room. The boys sat near by watching him walk in circles. Miss Beckley was on the phone calling anyone who might have seen or heard anything.
Scrooge was talking to himself "I can't believe I wrote that women a check to leave us alone and then she took off with the wee lassie.I am gonna stop payment on the check"
"What did you say Uncle Scrooge ?"Dewey asks peeking up at his Uncle wondering if he was talking to them
"Never mind boys why don't you boys go to the video arcade or something No needs for ya to sit around here just waiting"Scrooge turned his attention back walking in circles.
"No way Uncle Scrooge"Huey says looking up at him"We want to be here when they find her"
Scrooge just nods his head .He understand how the boys feel. He just went back pacing not knowing what else to do.
There was knock on the hotel room door and Ruthie looked through the peep hole before opening it seeing it was pizza guy. He held there food in front of him and Ruthie paid him giving home a few bucks tip before taking the food and shutting the door .The man looked over at Webby and got a funny look on his face as she shut the door . She sat the food on the bed and Webby opened the box stuffing some pizza in mouth .Ruthie walked over next to the wall and could hear the delivery boy talking on his phone
"Yes ,I just delivered a pizza to the Duck City Inn to room 112 and there is lady and little girl staying in the room. The little girl looks like the one in the amber alert only with different colored hair. It is at 411 US highway 12 in Duck city"the man was speaking into his cell phone.
Ruthie gulped grabbing Webby's hand almost pulling her out the door and into the car she puts Webby in the back seat and covers her up with a blanket .
"The police they are coming to get us Webby so stay down."Ruthie shuts the door and races to the drivers side sitting down and starting the car racing out the parking lot shutting the door as she drives.
The pizza guy see them and begins giving the make and model of the car and license number of the car. The tall young man watches speaking into phone"She just took off with the kid you better hurry"
