Well I hope Angel's nose leads her to Penelope on time, because at this very moment the Hooded Claw has taken poor Penelope to an old abandoned hotel. Heaven only knows what fate awaits her.

At an old abandoned hotel far from where the Ant Hill Mob and Angel were earlier, the Hooded Claw was busy tying Penelope up to a post. As he tied Penelope, he got tight with it, making Penelope flinch.

"Ouch!" Penelope cried, her wrists tied behind her back, her waist tied around the post right below her chest and her ankles tied. "Not so tight, Claw! That really hurt!"

"Don't complain, Pitstop." The Hooded Claw replied. "In a few moments you won't be dealing with how tightly I tied you."

"What exactly is your plan, you fiend!?" Penelope asked in a serious tone of voice.

"Since you're ever so curious, allow me to explain, darling. If you'll notice, Penelope, I just got done tying you to this post at this old hotel." The Hooded Claw explained. "Attached to this very post, is a time bomb. In as little as fifteen minutes, the bombs will go off, and will cause the ceilings on the top floors of the hotel to collapse and fall on you, squishing you like a bug for good!"

The Hooded Claw laughed evilly at this.

"You foul fiend!" Penelope scowled. "Your plan will never work, just like all the rest of your attempted perils."

"You negative Nellie." The Hooded Claw taunted Penelope. "The glass is either half full or it's completely empty. This plan will work. I'll see to that. Au Revoir, Pitstop!"

The Hooded Claw gave an evil laugh and walked out of the hotel.

Penelope, you only have fifteen minutes til those bombs go off. The sooner you devise a plan the better.

Penelope: "I know what I'll do. If I can call Angel and whistle for help, she just might be able to hear me. Luckily I trained her to be a rescue dog for these situations, so she'll know what to do! Here it goes."

Penelope gave a loud whistle and then another.

"Angel!" Penelope shouted for her dog. "Angel! Here girl!"

Don't stop your whistles and dog-calling, Penelope, Angel and the Ant Hill Mob hear you loud and clear!

The Ant Hill Mob and Angel heard Penelope whistling and calling Angel's name.

Dum-Dum: "That sounds like Penelope!"

Clyde: "That's because that is Penelope you Dum-Dum!"

Penelope kept whistling and calling Angel's name until the Hooded Claw quickly returned to where she was, pulling out a light blue scarf from his cape.

"Oh no you don't." The Hooded Claw grinned as he gagged Penelope with the blue scarf. "I'll just make sure that even your rescue mutt can't come!"

Penelope struggled to move her head to keep the Hooded Claw from gagging her, to no avail. The gag was as well tied as the ropes.

"Don't worry. That blue gag still matches what you're wearing. Farewell, for real, Pitstop!" The Hooded Claw laughed as he exited the hotel again, leaving poor Penelope tied and gagged and struggling.

Don't give up, Penelope, the Ant Hill Mob and Angel are coming for you.

"We're coming for you, Penelope!" Softy sobbed.

Angel sniffed Penelope's scent in the air again and barked.

"Where is she, Angel?" Zippy asked. "Where is she?"

Angel went to her pointer dog position and pointed left.

Clyde: "So she's around the left corner. Keep leading us Angel, and we'll make it there on time."

The Hooded Claw and the Bully Brothers emerged from the corner outside of another building on the left where Angel was pointing.

"I on the other hand will make you don't make it there at all." Chuckled the Hooded Claw. "And I know how: I'll misguide them with my impressions."

The Hooded Claw cleared his throat.

"Help! Help!" The Hooded Claw shouted impersonating Penelope's voice. "The Hooded Claw's got me trapped! Help, please!"

"Penelope must be by one of those buildings!" Clyde wondered. "Either way we're here for you, Penelope! Where are you?"

"I'm over here, boys!" The Hooded Claw shouted in his impersonation of Penelope's voice. "He's trapped me by this red building."

"Stay where you are, Penelope!" Clyde called out. "We're on our way! Come on Chuggaboom!"

Oh no! The Ant Hill Mob fell for the Hooded Claw's wicked trick.

The Ant Hill Mob dashed off in Chuggaboom, but Angel stayed where she was with a dirty look.

But Angel's certainly not falling for it. Good girl.

Angel dipped her paws in some red paint so that the Ant Hill Mob would be able to find her,sniffed Penelope's scent and ran quickly as she followed it.

Hurry Angel! Run very quickly. Penelope may not have much time left with those terrifying time bombs!

Back in the hotel, Penelope was still bound and gagged. She was struggling to break free and struggling to remove her gag by rubbing her cheek on her shoulder. She had no such luck doing so.

Fortunately for Penelope, Angel found the abandoned hotel and quickly ran inside, still on the trail for Penelope.

Penelope's scent led Angel to the area where Penelope was tied to the post and gagged. Angel barked to get Penelope's attention.

Angel's bark made Penelope's head shoot up.

True to her rescue dog training, Angel wastes no time in racing up to Penelope to get her loose.

Angel ran up to Penelope and the first thing that she did was remove Penelope's gag, using her teeth to untie the knot of the gag.

"Oh thank you Angel!" Penelope praised her pup as she took a deep breath.

Angel tried to untie the knots of the rope with her teeth. It worked a little, but it did not untie Penelope because the ropes were very well-tied.

I hate to say this Penelope but your dog untying your bonds with her teeth may not get the job done on time. You only have a few minutes left!

"Good point. I really don't have much time left and neither will Angel!" Penelope worried as she looked around the area for an alternative plan to escape. "There must be another way to…"

She then found scattered glass pieces of a broken window.

"I got it!" Penelope grinned.

She then turned to her dog.

"Angel." Penelope told Angel. "See those pieces of that broken glass window? Please do get me a piece, and be careful not to cut your paw."

Angel went to where the broken window pieces were and pushed a large piece behind Penelope with her paw.

"Good girl, Angel! We need to work together on this getaway. You untie my ankles with your teeth and I'll get rid of these bonds with this piece! I do hope it's sharp enough."

Teamwork is the way to go, indeed. But be very quick now or you both will go!

Angel untied the knots of the ropes wrapped around Penelope's ankles and Penelope, despite her tied wrists held the glass piece in her hand and used it to cut the ropes wrapped around her waist and wrists. The ropes were no longer tied around Penelope.

"I'm free! Thank goodness"

You may be free but those bombs are about to go off!

"I'll take care of them." Penelope smiled as she took off her glove, lightly licked two fingers and stopped the bombs on time by pinching the spark with her fingers.

"Nice work, girl!" Penelope happily cried as Angel jumped into her arms. "We're safe! And the building is safe for that matter."

All of a sudden, they heard Clyde's voice calling Penelope's name.

"Penelope!" Clyde called out.

Pockets: "Penelope!"

You'd better go out there and tell the Ant Hill Mob that you're safe

Penelope: "I'm just about to. Come on Angel. We can't leave the Ant Hill Mob waiting and worried. And we need to get you to the vet right away!"

Penelope grabbed Angel's leash and left the hotel with Angel.

Dum-Dum: "Uh, where are you, Penelope?"

"I'm over here, boys!" Penelope called out as she walked out of the hotel with Angel. "Can you see me?"

The Ant Hill Mob turned and were delighted to see the real Penelope and not the Hooded Claw's phony impression of her.

"Penelope!" The mob shouted with joy!

"To think we'd never see you again!" Softy sobbed.

"How did y'all find me?" Penelope asked the Ant Hill Mob.

"We heard you calling for help." Pockets replied. "But it wasn't your real voice. It was the Hooded Claw trying to lure us away."

"We tried to find you, but we had no luck, no luck." Zippy said.

"But then we saw that Angel left a trail of her red paw-prints to the old abandoned hotel where you were." Dum-Dum finished.

"How convenient for finding me!" Penelope giggled. "It's a good thing Angel's getting a bath later."

"How did you manage to get out?" Clyde wondered.

"It was all thanks to not only my knowledge, but to Angel." Penelope replied and turned to pet her pup. "She has such a great sense of smell and I trained her to be a rescue dog very well. Either that, or I chose the right day to wear my favorite perfume!"

Penelope gave Angel a dog biscuit that was in her coat pocket. Angel took the treat then she hugged herself, jumped in the air and gently floated back down. This made Penelope giggle.

Yak-Yak: "(Giggles) Angel still needs to get to the vet and fast!"

Penelope became worried. "Yes! We can't be late."

Penelope get into Chuggaboom's back seat with Angel.

"Please do get us to the vet right away Chuggaboom." Penelope told Chuggaboom.

"R-r-right!" Chuggaboom said as he drove off.

The Hooded Claw came back and watch Chuggaboom drive away with Penelope, Angel and the Ant Hill Mob.

"Blast." The Hooded Claw growled. "Pitstop's mutt just had to save the day! But no matter, I'll make sure even that dog doesn't outsmart or stop me!"
