Hi guys! I am sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been really busy and just recently I was writing Angry Birds Movie fanfiction, if you want to check it out. So, you can guess how busy I was. But here you have chapter 7. Enjoy it while you can! (Reminder: Jimmy K is voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch. And Mr. Steven by Hugh Jackman. Eddie Platypus by Eddie Murphy. And Penny Bogo by Keke Palmer) Obviously, that's in our imaginations.
Migraine 7:
"Quiet!" Bogo yelled and the officers at the conference room sat down quietly. Bogo put on his glasses, momentarily glancing at Nick and Judy. Nick whispered something into the bunny's ear and Judy elbowed him on his ribs. Bogo mentally sighed. Those two were so sweet, they were going to give him cavities. "Crime has been laying low for the past few days, all due because of certain crime lord…" He eyed Judy, who lowered her ears. "So most of you will get patrol, some will get a mission, others…" Bogo said. "…Parking duty."
Some officers groaned, wondering who would be the unlucky ones.
"Officers Fowl and Williams, I need you to track down a gang of gorillas robbing banks in the Rainforest District. Officer Rhno, parking duty. Officer Canine, patrol." He searched through the papers, but his mind was on his conversation from earlier with Eddie. Hopefully, he was already away with Penny somewhere safe.
"TEDDY!"
He spoke too soon.
The room went silent as a brown platypus (about Nick's size) in a suit burst into the room panting. Bogo stared at him murderously. "What are you doing here?"
The platypus chuckled nervously. "Well, you see. I was walking down the street and just wondered, why don't I visit my dear old friend Bogo?"
"Aren't you supposed to be taking care of someone?"
The officers in the room stared in complete silence.
Eddie chuckled. "Well, you see… um… She was not there."
Bogo thought his heart stopped. "What!?" He could feel the migraines coming back. He slammed his fist against the table. The officers flinched.
Eddie quickly tried to calm the big, menacing buffalo. "But I got my agents searching the place up and-" Bogo grabbed him by the shirt collar. Eddie yelped.
"What happened!?"
"IARRIVEDATHEHOUSEBUTSHEWASNOTTHEREANDTHEREARESIGNSOFKIDNAPPINGAROUNDTHEHOUSE! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!"
For a ZBI agent who had basically seen it all, from bloodshed to many other vile things, it wasn't understandable that he was easily intimidated by a giant buffalo. But if that buffalo was Bogo, then yes, it was understandable.
Bogo slammed his fist on the table again, let go of Eddie's collar and turned towards his officers. "I already gave you cases now get out!"
Out of fear, all the officers grabbed their files and hurried to the door, each glancing at the platypus with pity. Once they were all gone, Bogo turned to Eddie. "Explain."
Eddie gulped. "I was driving towards your house, but when I got there, the door was unlocked, so I stepped inside. There were clear signs that someone else that wasn't Penny was in your house. Besides, she's on school break, and she probably was in pajamas. Oh, there was some chocolate spilled on your favorite carpet…" He trailed off. How this platypus ever became ZBI agent, he would never know.
"Eddie, snap it! What happened?"
"The window was broken and someone kidnapped her. It looked like a big mammal entered. There was also this…" Eddie handed him a note. "Obviously, Jimmy K…"
GOT HER. COME AND GET HER. AND DON'T BRING EDDIE, HE'S ANNOYING.

"I got my team looking for more evidence. I was too late." His eyes watered. "I'm sorry I failed you. I've failed Penny…"
Bogo sighed. "We need to go. The more time we spend here, the more time Penny is in danger."
"Sir? We can help." Judy said as she stepped into the room, Nick Wilde behind her.
"I told you to leave them be, but no! You never listen to me." He argued with her, but Judy ignored him.
"I didn't know you had a daughter."
Bogo growled as his rubbed his forehead. "That's because none of you are supposed to know!"
Nick eyed Judy in an 'I told you so' look. Judy, again, ignored him. "We want to help."
"We?" Nick asked. Judy elbowed him in the ribs without looking. "Ouch!"
"Yes, we." She lowered her ears. "I provoked him and it's my fault…"
Eddie arched an eyebrow. "I'm not sure it was you, bunny girl."
Judy stared at him. "But…"
Eddie held up a hand. "Jimmy K, me and Teddy here go way back. Knowing him, I'm pretty sure he planned out everything, even you stepping on his tail. Surely, that was just a commotion to let Teddy here know he was back."
"Wait, so she was just a distraction?" Nick asked.
"Yeah, probably. She doesn't have any background with the guy except stepping on his tail. And he did that on purpose." Eddie said.
The tree officers stared at the platypus. Now Bogo knew how Eddie became a ZBI agent. This guy was smarter than he looked. Bogo sighed for what it seemed like the third time today. "Fine, you're coming. Let's go." Nick and Judy nodded.
He just hoped his little girl was alright.
OOO
Jimmy Komodo was a patient lizard. His plan had taken a while, but he had waited. All good things come to those who wait, his good old mother used to say, rest her soul. Good things did come. He got a mansion, cars, money, power. But was always lacking something…
He adjusted the suit that covered most of his gray skin. His yellowish eyes gave him a creepy appearance if not for the elegant (probably expensive) suit. "Bring her in." He ordered Mr. Steven as he poured himself a cup of tea. The kangaroo nodded and bought forward a teenage buffalo girl still in her purple pajamas and a potato bag over her head. The kangaroo sat her on a chair in front of Komodo's desk. He took off the potato bag revealing the face. Jimmy frowned. 'The living image of Thaddeus and her mother's eyes…' She was thin, possibly athletic.
"Penny Bogo, are you?"
The girl nodded warily.
Jimmy grinned. "I see. Do you know why you are here?"
The teenage girl shook her head, glaring daggers at the Komodo dragon.
"Do you know that you have to make a choice of life and death right now?" He reached under his table. Penny held her breath.
Jimmy placed a plate full of cookies and brownies and a glass of milk. "You have to choose between cookies and brownies." He smiled.
Penny looked at weird, but surprisingly gentlemanly komodo dragon. "What do you want from me?" She finally asked.
Jimmy shook his head. "From you? Nothing, my dear. From your father, though…"
Penny grabbed the glass of milk and threw the contents into Jimmy's face. Jimmy merely blinked. "Just milk, I suppose." He took out a white napkin from his pocket and dried his face. He expected that to happen. "I see, darling. Mr. Steven, please do me a favor and take this lady to her room."
Mr. Steven nodded and held the young buffalo by her arm. "Um… what room again?"
"We talked about this." Jimmy groaned.
Mr. Steven rolled his eyes. "Sir, they're like twenty something rooms in this place. If you care to specify, I'll be thankful."
Jimmy sighed. "The one with the bars at the window and the hot dinner at the table? She's going to be here a long time so she better be comfortable."
Mr. Steven nodded. But Penny struggled. "My father will find me, you know." Penny said to Jimmy.
Jimmy scuffed and started to put some sugar into his tea cup. "With that platypus friend of his, I don't think so." Jimmy turned to the kangaroo. "The maid brought some Vegemite in case you're interested."
Mr. Steven nodded. Jimmy then turned to Penny. "Do you like Vegemite? Mr. Steven could share some with you."
Mr. Steven sighed in relief when Penny shook her head.
Jimmy shrugged. "Oh, that's ok. I don't like it either. It tastes like crap."
Penny smirked. "Have you ever tasted crap?"
Jimmy took a sip from his tea. "Your father always gave me crap." He motioned Mr. Steven to take her away. Penny growled, but let herself be taken away by Mr. Steven. She knew better than to struggle when already kidnapped.
Jimmy was left alone in his office. He leaned back into his chair in deep thought. His tea had gone cold anyway. He let out a small, animalistic growl of hidden rage. He reached for a hidden compartment on his desk and looked inside. He grabbed a small pistol. Not those with the darts, but those with real bullets. He recharged it. When the time came, he would be armed and ready.
OOO
Penny gasped as she was thrown into the fancy looking room. She turned around to face the kangaroo. "What does he want with my father!?"
Mr. Steven rolled his eyes. "Listen, girl. I work for him and even I don't know."
"You're lying." Penny deadpanned.
Mr. Steven sighed. "Ok, I know. But I'm not going to tell you anything. You just stay here like a good little teenager until this whole thing is solved." He motioned to the TV. "It doesn't have cable, but you got some wicked Wii videogames there, mate."
"Who wants to play videogames at a time like this!?"
Mr. Steven groaned. "That's what I told him. But anyway, you have a dinner at the table. And don't anything fishy, ok, mate?" He turned around to lock the door but Penny stopped him.
"Wait!"
Mr. Steven looked at the young teen buffalo. "What?"
"Please, just tell me what's going on…"
Mr. Steven lowered his ears. "Sorry, mate. It's nothing personal, but it's for the best that you don't know anything." With that said, he closed the door and locked it behind him.
"Hey!" Penny banged at the door. "You can at least tell me! It's my father who is in danger! Hey!"
Mr. Steven sighed and lowered his ears. Damn his soft spot for kids. "I already told you, mate. It's for you own good." That already said, he walked away.
I really hope you liked this chapter and tell me what you think in your reviews. Until next chapter!
