Chapter Eleven part two
(Hi, y'all. I'm sorry to say this but this is going to be a short chapter and I will write a long one the next time I get my hands on my laptop. I will try to publish the next chapter whenever I don't have anything interfering with my writing.

Smarty stopped where we were walking and then, he ran into the meeting room and brought out a chair. He placed it behind me and after standing in front of me for a second, Smarty pushed me and I fell on to the chair, nearly tipping it over.
"Boss, eso no es muy amable de su parte para impulsar la Muchacha!" Greasy exclaimed.
I have no idea what you just said, Greasy. I thought. But Smarty, you can't push a girl in Texas, especially if she's the daughter of a former police officer and detective.
"You could've told me to sit down and there was no need for you to push me." I said, trying to keep my voice in an easy and steady.
"Why do you want to know about why we kidnapped your cousin, Birchwood?" Smarty asked while he crossed his arms and tapped his right foot on the floor.
"I already told you why, Smarty."
"We need more than that, Birch-*cough, cough, cough!*-wood!" Wheezy exclaimed.
"I already told you that Lexi didn't do anything to you. I'm the one who should've been stuffed in a burlap sack and taken to Toon Town for hideous tortures and punishments!"
"Exactly!" Smarty exclaimed. "We wanted 'avenge'! That's why we wanted to kidnap you!"
That exclamation hits me on my head (not literally) like someone just dropped a safe on my head.
"Kidnap for revenge?" I asked. "It's not 'avenge'! Revenge is when you inflict the punishment as payback on something that someone did to you."
"And what's 'avenge', muchacha?" Greasy asked.
"Don't answer that, Birchwood!" Smarty exclaimed.
"Avenge is when you harm or punish the person who did something to you, a loved one, a friend, or something that you possess." I explained anyway.
Smarty takes his pistol out of his suit and points it at me.
"Stop being a dictionary, Birchwood!" He exclaimed angrily.
"Well, I got news for you, meathead!" I exclaimed angrily. "You told me that you wanted to kidnap for revenge! I know what you're talking about! You're mad at me because I dipped Judge Doom for a few reasons!" As I continued to explain, Smarty's angry softens a tiny bit and he lowers his pistol. "The first reason was because he killed Eddie Valiant's brother and got away with the robbery of stealing from the First National Bank Of Toon Town. The second was because of his plan of killing every Toon and wiping out their homes, town, and work places for building a freeway was considered a mass killing of one species. I will define reason number two as a Toon Holocaust, the idea of many Toons dying a fast, quick, and painful death after getting dunked into the Dip. And the last reason is because Doom was going to dip you and the other members of the Toon Patrol after completing the freeway. Because once the freeway's completed, then Doom will think that you're no longer any good value to him and then, he'll dunk you in the Dip and once you die in a barrel of Dip, then nobody is ever going to remember you as anything except five weasels who have accomplished on working with a sadistic person and killing your species…"
I took a deep breath and continued.
"…I didn't come here because I wanted to spit on your face or to start a fight with you. I came here because of my cousin and I took her place in the challenge because she won't be able to see what's coming to her because she can't hear very well. I won't leave this place until I walk back home with Lexi and until I pass the challenge. I'm not going to back out on anything and I will continue to do these challenges."
I took another deep breath and finished with an "That's all I have to say about that".
Greasy, Psycho, Stupid, and Wheezy applauded for me and I heard Greasy exclaim something in Spanish that sounded like "Testify".
"I'm ready to move on to the challenge, Smarty." I said.
