Previously...
Naomi, who had caught up with them, now picked the two toys up, them not caring if she saw them move or not, the three of them looking down the road the car took as it drove away, as she placed Buzz and Woody on her shoulders.
"Why would someone steal Braedimus Prime and Daphne Blake?" Naomi and Bo asked in unison, both in confusion and worry for the two toynapped toys.
In the big city, many miles away, the flashy white and mint green car the bearded man owned sped through the streets, passing through green light after green light. Then, as it approached a red building, it skidded to a stop, and the engine shut off.
Inside of the trunk of the car, there is a black handbag of sorts. Inside of the bag, Daphne Blake and Braedimus Prime were both huddled together, the former feeling afraid of what is going on out there, the latter looking on with narrowed optics. The two of them thought they were safe when they were in the safe box thanks to Naomi, but the hopes of being safe were dashed when this man broke into the money box and toy-napped them. Then, they heard the trunk open, and they knew the man took the bag, and knew he was going somewhere.
Braedimus opted to take a peek, looking through the zipper, and he saw the man was walking under a red awning of a big building that he was approaching. As he looked ahead, both Braedimus and Daphne now noticed a small black painted sign that was stuck on the glass door. They both silently gasped in shock, as the man walked into the building, and the glass door closed behind him.
The black sign reads 'NO CHILDREN ALLOWED'.
At the Martin house, the toys and Naomi were all gathered up in Braedey's bedroom, and they were all starting up an investigation about who the kidnapper was that stole Braedimus and Daphne from the home.
After Naomi found out about Buzz and Woody being alive, she was soon introduced to the other toys, and they all got along with the Martin woman. She was friendly to them, and she wished to help them get their friend back. She also swore to them that she'll not tell another living soul about the toys being alive.
Right now, Hamm was currently standing up on some blocks, along with Etch the sketchpad alongside him, who currently has a drawing of both Braedimus and Daphne next to one another on his screen, and on the top right of the screen, there was the writing 'Exhibits A', indicating that they're the first item on the list. The other toys were gathered around them, along with Naomi, who had her legs up to her chest, and her arms were hugging them.
"All right." Hamm then sighed. "Let's review this one more time. At precisely 8:32-ish, Exhibits A, Braedimus Prime, and Daphne Blake, were kidnapped. Exhibit B..." At that moment, Etch shook the picture of both Prime and Daphne off, and drew a composite sketch of the kidnapper, but the image had him with a large beard that reached down to his knees. "...a composite sketch of the kidnapper." Hamm revealed.
"He didn't have a beard like that." Bo Peep pointed out to Hamm with a frown on her face.
"She's right." Naomi nodded back in confirmation on Bo Peep's behalf. "I saw him from the front. And I can confirm that he didn't have a beard that big." She added.
"Fine. Etch, give him a shave." Hamm asked to Etch. The sketchpad now shook himself, which erased the image, and he now drew in the kidnapper again, but this time, without the beard.
"Yep. That's a good representation." Naomi stated.
"So we know what this guy looks like, but we don't know who he is, and why he even toy-napped both Daphne and Braedimus from our home." Jennifer said to the others.
"We definitely have a mystery on our hands." Ken acknowledged.
"The kidnapper was bigger than that." Slinky then interjected next.
"Oh, picky, picky, picky." Hamm sighed as he rolled his eyes over what everyone was saying about the sketches.
"Guys?" Jennifer spoke up. "Let's take things slow and keep calm."
"Let's just go straight to Exhibit F." Mr. Potato Head told Hamm. In front of him, there was a mock-up crime scene of the house and the street. "The kidnapper's vehicle." Mr. Potato Head called out. McQueen was being the kidnapper's vehicle for the demonstration. "Now, the vehicle fled the scene in this direction." He pointed to his left, and McQueen rolled towards Potato Head.
"Your eyes are in backwards." Hamm interjected back at Potato Head. "It went the other way." McQueen then flipped himself around, and drove the other way.
"Yeah. That's right. He went in the opposite direction." Naomi added in next.
"Hey. Put a cork in it." Potato Head snapped at Hamm.
"How do you spell FBI?" Rex asked, holding up what was a letter, as he walked right through the 'crime scene, inadvertently wrecking it in the process.
"My crime scene!" Potato Head yelled, and clenched his fists in anger at Rex, the T-Rex's tail knocking down the LEGO house on the 'crime scene'.
"Oh, why don't you watch where you're going, Godspilla?" Hamm fumed.
"I didn't know there was a crime scene." Rex said innocently.
"Excuse me. Excuse me." Buzz and Woody's voices now got everyone's attention, as they all saw the two standing by the far side of the bed. "A little quiet, please. Thank you." Then, the two toys now walked back behind the bed.
"Huh?" Naomi looked over at the toys, and they seemed just as confused also by what was going on with Buzz and Woody.
They all decdied to go ahead and see what's going on. They look around the side of the bed, and saw the Space Ranger and Cowboy, with Mr. Spell, and the letters 'LZTYBRN' that were on the license plate.
"Lazy toy brain." Mr. Spell said, as both Buzz and Woody punched in a set of letters to see what the letters on the license plate could mean. "Lousy try, Brian." Buzz now began to type in some words into the keyboard in the process.
"Buzz? What are you and Woody doing with Mr. Spell over there?" Naomi asked in confusion as she looks on. "And what's with the letter blocks? Wait... that's the same as that on the car's license." She realised.
"It's some sort of message encoded on that vehicle's I.D tag." Buzz explained to the Martin woman as the message of what he attempted to decipher began to appear.
"Liz try bran." Mr. Spell spoke out, and Woody now tried typing something in to decipher the code.
"It's just a license plate." Potato Head told Buzz as if it were just normal. "It's just a jumble of letters." He added.
"Yeah, and there are about 3.5 million registered cars in the Tri-County Area alone." Hamm added with a look of smugness, Potato Head looking at him with narrowed eyes.
"Lou's thigh burn." Mr. Spell spoke, and Buzz groaned in disappointment. He and the others are getting nowhere nearer of getting their friends back or even knowing where they've been taken to.
"Oh, this can't help." Potato Head groaned as he rolled his eyes. "Let's just leave Buzz and Woody to play with their toys." He suggested as he and the others begin to move away.
Buzz suddenly had a brainwave from what Potato Head just said. "Toy. Toy. Toy. Hold on!" He told the others, and both he and Woody immediately began to type on Mr. Spell's keyboard. The others watched the dynamic duo type away at speed, and finally, Buzz pushed the 'Speak' button on Mr. Spell's keyboard as he and Woody step back.
"Mr. Spell, what did Buzz and Woody type down just now?" Naomi asked to the toy. Her answer was...
"Al's Toy Barn."
"Al's Toy Barn?" The other toys were rather shocked and wondered what this could mean.
Naomi now picked up the feather that was next to Buzz, and she looked at it with a slight wonder. 'Hmm. Maybe...' She thought, and she looked over to the sketchpad. "Etch. Could you draw that man in a chicken suit, please?" She asked to the sketchpad.
Etch acknowledged her words, and he shook his screen, erasing the previous image. Then, as everyone looked on, they watched him draw the image, and to their shock, it was the chicken man from the 'Al's Toy Barn' commercial. It is Al McHiggin himself!
"It's the chicken man!!" Rex screamed out.
"I should've known." Naomi growled.
"That's our guy." Buzz agreed.
"I knew there was something I didn't like about that chicken." Hamm narrowed his eyes at the picture of the man in the chicken suit.
"Now, we know who kidnapped Prime and Blake." Woody said. "Now, the bigger question is where could they be?"
