"WAIT WHAT?!" Darkcrow asked in shock.
"I'm afraid so. I witnessed it myself. They took him. They snatched Larryboy and Hayden. Right in front of my eyes." Bob said in a panic.
"Ugh! Great! Just great. Now Alterego has his target." Darkcrow said flatly as he facepalmed.
"What can we do? I can't let this happen again!" Alfred said in fright 'hearing the endless muffled screams and images of Larryboy getting raped were playing in his head as of someone was playing a horror film in his head'.
"I just can't...Not again. He's been through enough. I once caught him trying to end his life by trying to bang his head on a tree. I can't let him go through that awful torture." Alfred said in sorrow and fear.
"He won't. Not when we are going to find him before that happens." Darkcrow said 'with determination to find Larryboy before he can get through that awful torture again'.
"I-I hope so..." Alfred said 'blaming himself for not finding him sooner on that day'.
"Alfred don't be so hard on yourself lad. It wasn't your fault. Besides we all didn't know about the abduction. Least until me and Olaf found some clues." Officer Scooter said 'trying to make Alfred feel a little better'.
"Scooter is right Alfred. Don't go beating yerself up over that." Olaf said 'agreeing with Scooter'.
"But you are so lucky you stopped him from making a mistake. I mean, sure it's common among rape victims to have depression. But you were lucky to stop him from making a mistake. Suicide is a sin. As my mother said. God would want us to die when the time is right." Dr. Flurry said with worry.
"Y-you're probably right." Alfred said 'looking down'.
"Oh that day when me and Olaf looked at the alley way he had disappeared in. It was one of the spots we found evidence that he was abducted." Scooter said looking back to that day.
flashback:
The two officers walked to the alley way Larryboy had 'gone missing' from.
"You think this is the alley way Scooter?" Olaf asked the old Scottish cop.
"Aye. No doubt in me mind me old friend. Though judging from this area. I see there had been a struggle here." Scooter replied 'looking around the area'.
The two officers looked around the area before finding a bloodstain on the left side of a brick wall.
"Hmm, this blood stain looks liked it dried out two days ago." Olaf said as he sniffed it.
Scooter nodded as he sniffed the air. He then sees another bloodstain on the right wall and a bottle of chloroform on there. He also sees a small smoke bomb next to the trash can.
"It had been recently used Scooter." Olaf said as he looked at the smoke bomb.
"Aye. No doubt about it." Scooter replied 'before both cops started setting up a crime scene around the area'.
Olaf then noticed something on a nail sticking out of the ground.
It was a small piece of a purple cloth.
"A piece of purple cloth? Is it Larryboys?" Scooter asked.
"It's a possibility. No doubt about it. It's either from his mask or the bottom of his pants. Besides, LarryBoy's pants have bell bottoms. Undoubtedly he was fighting someone when it snagged a small piece." Olaf replied as he took the small piece of cloth and placing it in a bag as evidence.
"Guess we are getting on the right track. But what is with the bottle of chloroform?" Olaf asked as he sees the chloroform on the ground.
"Hmm. Suspicious it is. Hold on a minute there Olaf." Scooter said 'noticing a cloth behind the trash can.
"Well I'll be a lassies grandma." Scooter said 'taking the cloth and bagged it as evidence'.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking lad?" Olaf asked while looking at Officer Olaf.
"It's a possibility. But if what we are thinking is true Scooter. Then it means, Larryboy didn't just go missing. He was kidnapped. By an unknown villain." Olaf replied to Scooter.
It was only a matter of time until they called a few more cops and had the lab boys test it out.
Flashback Ends:
"And after that, the boys from the lab confirmed what we thought was right. That Larryboy was abducted alright." Olaf said.
"And we had to tell the mayor about it. Needless to say it was not for the faint of heart." Scooter replied.
"Still. Had I known about it right now. I woulda looked after him to make sure he was being protected." Alfred said as he sighed deeply.
That was when Aleho entered.
"Aleho. Where have you been?" Darkcrow asked his brother.
"I went to check on Le-Purple Rouge and LemonTwist and tell them the bad news. They're searching the area they rescued him at right now to see if he's there. But I'm afraid I have a bad update to share." Aleho said.
"And what would that be?" Bob asked.
"The alchemist and Mother Pearl escaped." Aleho said 'uneasily'.
The room went silent as Bob thought flatly, "Ugh. Great. Just what we need another problem."
