"Mi.. Mister Duck?"
"Yes, exactly", Miss Stewart answered.
Tim was extremely surprised. Was it the same Mr. Duck who wanted to speak him yesterday?
"OK", Tim said. "Then give him to me quickly."
He instantly got on the phone.
"Greetings Mr. Duck", he said quickly. "What was that subject you were gonna talk about to me yesterday?"
"Greetings Mr. Stanford", Fethry replied with a hoarse tone in his voice. "I'm glad that I can talk to you. The message I have for you may not be that great tho."
"Really?", Tim asked. "I doubt that it can shock me. Today I'm in my best mood."
"Why's that?", Fethry asked.
"Well", Tim replied smiling. "Mr. Rockerduck decided to support my company which runs coach busses and motorhomes. Isn't that great?"
Fethry sighed. "Well, but that deal..." He took a break after he said that.
"Yeah, what about that deal?", Tim said, scratching his head.
Fethry was about to answer, then he felt a pressure inside of him. He was about to throw about up again! Quickly he ran away to the bathroom.
"Hello? Mr. Duck?" He did not receive an answer. "Oh great. I was hoping to find out. Well, it cannot be that important. I don't even personally know this dude. Is he Mr. Rockerduck's brother, cousin, son, nephew or something like that? Anyways, looks like what he was gonna say wasn't too good. However, what can be really bad news today? My company's in its best condition, and even more important, the rest of my family will profit from that too, luckily no one is sick or something like that. And yesterday we've had lotta nice tucker." (NOTE: "tucker" is "food" in Kiwi/New Zealand slang) He smiled. "I will never forget the day yesterday. The best day of my life! I am about to become rich! Sweet as!" (NOTE: "sweet as" = "awesome" in Kiwi slang) "And tomorrow Neil's coming to visit us. I bet Derek will be happy to see his little cousin. And I hope Neil will find some friends here. That little girl - I think her name was Cindy - already promised me that she will introduce him to her friends." Then Tim got back to the office and for the rest of the day forgot about Mr. Duck and what he wanted. He only thought about his company and about Neil.

After a hard day, Donald finally got home. His uncle still had not realized anything, but he was being pretty grumpy all day and silently cursed Mr. Stanford as "lazy and unreliable as my nephew Donald." While hearing that, Donald had felt pretty anxious and guiltily.
And now? Now he was feeling better. At least a little. But not much. Was he being sick in any way? No, he was not, but feeling pretty low.
"What's wrong, Uncle Donald?", Huey, the nephew with the red shirt and cap, asked.
"No-nothing", Donald said. "I'm just a little exhausted, that's all. Don't worry."
After Huey was gone, he started thinking. Could he really solve the problem as Donald himself? Certainly not, but as...
DUCK AVENGER! Of course, last night Donald had been out as Duck Avenger too, but he nearly forgot everything, he had been too busy dealing with all those crimes. Yup, Duckburg sadly is known as the city of criminals. If it wasn't for the Duck Avenger... hard to imagine. When he first started as the Duck Avenger several years ago, Donald's major plan had usually been to get revenge on his uncle and his cousin Gladstone. He had usually not intended to contend against evil. Back then the police had been his enemies. But then he realized on which side he had to stand. And yet he's been a great blessing for the whole city. Of course, many go too far. There are many people in Duckburg that see Duck Avenger as god, and that definitely is not right. Tim Stanford once said: "The Duckburgers act like he's Jesus Christ. But Jesus was more than just a man. I know he's God. I know he has commandments that we should accept. And while I'm rich, I believe it is very important to give to the poor. Duck Avenger however is just a man with a high technical outfit from Gyro Gearloose. If it wasn't for that..."
After Tim had said that, many others had accused him of being jealous. Of course. However, Donald loved his job. He did not earn anything from it, tho. Of course he did in some way, he had earned a lot of respect from the whole city. But he doesn't has any financial profit from his job. But he himself couldn't care less. He just wanted to show that he is not a whimp. The only sad thing is: he himself as Donald can't proof it to anyone. Why not, may you ask? Because his second identity is his secret identity. The last thing he wants is to let everything come to the light.
Donald decided he felt tired and would skip dinner. He went to his room and to his wardrobe. Why there? Well, because in his wardrobe there is an elevator which leads to the Duck Avenger's secret head quarters, which is 25 foot below his house. In there he's got all of his equipment of weapons. And everything is the work of Gyro Gearloose. Yes, Gyro, who's so busy about everything, and who's never paid by Donald's uncle. And no, not even he knows who the Duck Avenger really is. So it is really between Donald himself and nobody else.
Even though Tim had said: "I very much believe there is someone who sees everything, so it cannot be kept secret. For us people, yes. But does that mean none is above us? Nobody created this world?" His answer was a massive laughter from the people around him. Then Tim had seen it was pointless to reply and left.
Now after Donald was armed and ready, he went to his car, his 313, who has secret weapons inside of it too. One of them is the flying function. And that is the function Donald AKA Duck Avenger always uses first when he goes for his nightly round. Of course, this time too. No surprise, haha.
First he caught the Beagle Boys robbing an ATM (cash mashine). Of course he defeated them easily. Same also with the other gangster. Today he was less busy than he had been yesterday. All those fun loving criminals certainly did cause a lot of trouble. But was that a problem for someone like the Duck Avenger? Definitely not!
Eventually, it was already past midnight, he decided to come to what he actually he came far. He headed to where Mr. Rockerduck's headquarters were located. When he arrived, he landed and got out of the car. Then he entered the building and got up the stairs. He tried to be as quiet. He sneaked around the hallway. It went all good until...
"Ouch!"
What happened?
Well, to be continued...
