Chapter 8:

Jackie and the Smiling Critters sneak into the Counciler's Office.

Mysterious Recorder: S-M-I-L-E every day, you and me

S-M-I-L-E every day, you and me

We're still smiling every day

There's really no other way!

"See why CraftyCorn thinks this guy's creepy," asks KickinChicken.

"Let's keep moving," says DogDay.

"Or I could come to you," says CatNap as he appears.

"CatNap," says DogDay.

"It's been a long time, DogDay," says CatNap, "and you, you are getting on my nerves!"

"I understand it's not your fault," says Jackie, "we can talk about it!"

"We could," says CatNap, "or I could just kill you!"

CatNap then leaps at them. Jackie attempts to fight him, but CatNap's too strong, so Jackie and the Smiling Critters just run into an elevator and go up...

...

They reach the top floor. "Over here," says DogDay. They run into the Safe Room. CatNap starts coming in, so Jackie activates the electrical system that shocks CatNap as soon as he gets in. CatNap then falls to the ground. A large mechanical arm then grabs him.

"Yeah, we are not staying," says Jackie.

...

The Smiling Critters are now staying at Section 13.

"So, they're not magic," asks Captain Black.

"This is more of a mad science thing," says Jackie.

"Mad is right," says Uncle, "like Mushroom."

"So, can you tell us where the skate park is," KickinChicken asks the Mushroom. Things just keep getting stranger.

...

That night, when the Smiling Critters are asleep, CraftyCorn's having nightmares about CatNap...
