So initially thought I was going to add a chapter to my original stories on Fictionpress but I couldn't stop thinking about this story so here we finally get to meet Bimbette's 'Master' and learn his real name
Now knowing where Bimbette was likely being held, however it was in the countryside just outside of Queens...And they were in Manhattan...How to get there when like most common people in NYC they didn't have a car…
Then Doc Louis arrived, huffing and puffing from having to catch up with Little Mac, and he quickly said he was friends with most cabbies from his days as the heavyweight champ, so he quickly hailed a Taxi and explained the bad situation of a mutant animal had just been kidnapped and told them the address Little Mac had learned from Bimbette's memories.
The Cabbie was willing to drive them most of the way but when they were almost to this mansion in the forest the Cabbie was struck by a sudden burst of terror! A hypnotic suggestion that was part of a 'psychic shield' around the area to keep weak-willed people away.
"Sorry folks…" He said "...I gotta drop ya off here! You're on your own!"
And the Master had been expecting someone to arrive after capturing Bimbette, so he had his armed security guards waiting in the bushes to bring them to his mansion.
He brought them all to his 'lounge' where he had them all shackled by their wrists by chains that were attached to the wall, but far worse was he put a muzzle on Dana, so tight she couldn't talk which infuriated Glass Joe, but the Mutant Doberman kept calm while she was muzzled because it was clear this man, who they had just learned his name was Emile Cerveau (His last name was French for 'brain' surely that couldn't be his original last name!) but while Emile did seem to have some psychic ability it seemed his anticipation of their arrival was just a logical conclusion that someone would come after Bimbette given she had been with a world famous boxer, he didn't use any psychic sense at all for that...He did not read her mind to know she had a tracking device in her back pocket and thus he had no idea others were coming...Dana just hoped they could last that long before Rover and whoever he thought to bring along arrived.
Bimbette was there, tied to a chair, what was striking though is now that her worst nightmare was coming true she seemed oddly calm...Stoic...Seeing that Little Mac actually came to her rescue and remembering what the oak tree said about learning to face her fears suddenly she felt braver that things were going to be OK...She wished she could communicate this to Little Mac who was obviously distressed seeing her tied up, but like Dana she knew she had to not give away anything in front of her Master…
And that brings us to Emile Dorian himself, he was a lean and lanky man, what once was black hair had become pure white even though he was only middle aged, Glass Joe felt chills go down his spine with how much this cretin was reminding him of himself...That this man clearly viewed himself as a fashionable Frenchman dressed entirely in black and his smug countenance...What really set apart his rather unremarkable appearance was one of his upper canines had been replaced with a gold tooth that was larger and longer than a normal human canine like it was made to resemble an actual fang!
"You thought you were clever…" Emile said as he circled around Bimbette "...But deep down you always knew we had a psychic connection because I created you…"
He began plucking at Bimbette's curly 'head-fur' almost flirtatiously at first before grabbing a handful of hair and just yanking causing the Mutant Doe obvious pain as she clenched her teeth and hissed in pain.
Little Mac flew into a rage! Straining against his chains yelling "Leave her alone you creep!"
Glass Joe was also feeling a great sense of horror with what he was seeing, because the Mutant Deer was for better or for worse his daughter...Even though Bimbette tried to hide it by calling him her Master but Glass Joe could tell by her body language and the way she spoke about him that he was the closest thing to her father figure, but Glass Joe could see by the look in Emile's eyes that he didn't think of Bimbette as a daughter...She was nothing but an experiment to him
But then Glass Joe noticed something on the pony wall he was near, a stack of papers...Knowing they were surely written in French, Glass Joe inched closer and closer hoping he could read them without being noticed…
So this chapter was mostly set-up but also shows why Glass Joe's involvement was crucial the mission In imagining Emile I was initially imagining him as someone incredibly average and ordinary looking showing his power is his mind not his body but then I got the idea for the gold fang for some visual flare
