Hello readers! I apologize to keep you all waiting after two months but you know how life is: work, getting sick twice, spending holidays with family, and trying to update chapters. It's amazing how time flies when you're doing so much. Anyway, enough said! You've all asked for chapter 8…so here it is! In case you haven't been paying attention to the last chapter it's where the Bad Guys continue chasing after Boy…in the shopping mall. Sit back and enjoy!


Chapter 8:

Boy ran inside the shopping mall as fast as his feet could carry him until he halted at the center. He found himself surrounded by dozens of shoppers. Generally around this time at night no one would be shopping this late but it was super busy. The kid glanced behind his shoulder when he spotted the Bad Guys heading his way. Boy quickly got his head back in the game and took off blending in with the crowds of people.

Wolf and his team quickly ducked inside the clothing store, first. A couple seconds later, the five exited the clothing shop in their new disguises. Wolf had chosen a dark outwear jacket over a white hoodie with blue jeans, fake glasses, a baseball cap, and normal sneakers; the casual look. Snake went all gangsta by wearing sunglasses, a red beanie hat, and a ripped frayed flap pocket vest with fake arms to complete the look. Both Piranha and Shark consisted the disguises of children by wearing striped t-shirts, jean shorts, and pinwheel hat's on their heads. And as for Webs: she switched into her black hoodie and headphones.

The criminal animals all huddled up together to hear what Wolf's plan was.

"What's the plan, Wolfie?" Webs asked, turning to Wolf

"The plan…of course…" Wolf said, pointing up a finger until he answered, "…I have no idea"

Snake scoffed, "Nice motivation, Wolf"

"Hey, I'm a heist guy not a child catcher," Wolf said, to his cynical friend. "I haven't thought ahead on this one"

"And I thought I was the clueless one" Piranha joked

"You still are" Webs told the fiesty fish

Wolf rubbed his face in frustration, "Look, we just have to keep an eye out for the little red leprechaun"

"I thought leprechaun's wear green—not red" Piranha asked

Snake's eyes lowered and he expressed a deadpan look at the tiny fish and said, "Were you born this stupid or did you take lessons?"

Piranha growled waving his fist at the reptile, "Hey, I got a lesson for you and it goes right up your…"

"STOP IT!—Both of you! As I was saying, we'll just have to search the grounds. We'll look everywhere—leave no stones unturned" Wolf said to his friends

"But this place is HUGE," Shark whined, "It'll take forever"

Webs nodded and turned to the leader, "He's right, Wolf. The kid could be anywhere"

"Or worse—he could be DISGUISED as anyone" Shark pointed out

"We will worry about that part, later. Right now, we need to start brainstorming," Wolf said, "Now think—where would little kids go?"

The five friends took a moment to analyze their ideas to themselves. They knew for a fact that they were dealing with an intelligent little boy but they never thought it would be this difficult. But again—he still had the Golden Dolphin. If there's no Golden Dolphin: there's no cementing their legacy.

The clock was ticking and just when a minute had passed, the five friends felt light bulbs flashing above their heads. Ideas have arrived!

"The Planet Youth Playground Center" they all said together

"You got it," Wolf said, seeing his team finally getting the picture. "It's the only place where little kids can run amok"

"Of course," Webs replied, "Not only is it just a place for kids but it's the only place where a kid could be hiding. It's got everything they need"

"Yeah like play sets, ball pits, games, toys…" Shark said, naming all the fun activities

"…and food" Piranha said, smacking his lips as if it meant 'snack-time' for him

"It's a prison for bratty-whiny-snot nose-rotten little troublemakers who leave nothing but migraine's and misery" Snake mumbled

"You really are a poet, Snake" Webs admitted, "You must've taken poetry back in the day"

"It's a gift," Snake sarcastically replied back

"Then it's settled," Wolf said, flashing his signature sly smirk. "New mission—Operation: Catch that Kid, is a GO!"


The five friends exclaimed with excitement and took off into the moving crowds of people. It was time for a Golden Dolphin hunt! They were heading straight for the food court. The food court was the only district in the mall where the Planet Youth Playground Center was located. All they could do was play their cards until they find the kid. However, what they all didn't know was that Boy had plans for them—mischievous ones, that is.

Once the Bad Guys arrived at the Planet Youth Playground Center—it was packed! Not just with people—but swarms of children. Kids were running around shouting, screaming, crying, climbing over play sets, fighting with toys, and celebrating birthday parties with costume characters. Their expressions grew wide in horror as Snake immediately recoiled by the sight of children.

"Looks like it's busy here tonight" Wolf stated, staring

"Yuck! Gross!" Snake said, sticking his forked tongue out. "Brings back terrible memories"

"No, I'll tell you what was terrible—being mistaken for a happy meal toy," Webs recalled, remembering her childhood when all the kids would put their greasy fingers all over her.

"Try being mistaken for the piñata" Piranha recalled

"Y'all think you got nightmares?—one time, I got mistaken for a costume character and the kiddies would climb all over me and use me for a punching bag," Shark recalled, "That still gives me the willies"

"Guys, focus!" Wolf said, getting his friends attentions, "Remember Step Three: we split up and take our positions"

On Wolf's command, the Bad Guys broke off and moved into position.

Piranha and Shark took off together heading straight to the kid's play area hoping they would find the boy hiding in the play sets and in the ball pits; Webs crawled herself up on top of one of the tall fake palm trees to keep a sharp lookout for any suspicious activity; Wolf and Snake walked/slithered around the entire food court in case they spotted a red hood. They weren't leaving without their Golden Dolphin.

"Mics on," Webs said quietly. "Everyone on comms, do you copy?"

"Copy" Wolf responded

"Copy" Snake responded

"Copy" Piranha responded in a high-pitched voice of a kid

"Copy" Shark responded in a high-pitched voice of a kid

"Okay, friends" Wolf said, over the comm. "Remember—keep your eyes open for a red hoodie with a green backpack. Little red riding hood, for short"

"Copy" Snake responded

"Copy" Webs responded

"Copy" Piranha responded

"Copy" Shark responded

With that being said, the Bad Guys began doing their parts and began searching for the kid.

Once entering inside the kids play area, Piranha and Shark decided to check all the play-sets such as swings, slides, climbers, spring riders, spinners, and sensory panels. As they were looking, the two inspected every kid wearing anything red but none of them seemed to match the boy's description. They were having NO luck at all.

A child—wearing red— was approaching them in a stroller as Shark quickly scooped him up as Piranha yanked the hood off only revealing the child to be a baby.

"That's not him," Piranha announced

"Too young," Shark said

They soon spotted another child wearing a red hood as Shark quickly scooped up the next child as Piranha yanked the hood off only it to be revealed as a tiny old man.

"Definitely not this one," Piranha announced

"Too old," Shark said

They soon spotted a third child wearing a red hood but also wearing a green backpack with him. Piranha hopped onto Shark's head as the large predator approached the child. Stopping behind him, Piranha yanked off the red hood only to reveal it was a tall-looking male teenager; but still NOT the kid they were looking for.

"Not the kid," Piranha announced

Shark then jerked the green backpack off the teenager's back and ripped it open only to find school books and folders.

Shark lowered his arms, "No Golden Dolphin"

"No nothing!" Piranha shrieked

Meanwhile, Webs remained on top of the palm tree keeping a watchful eye from above. She pulled out some Tarantula-size binoculars so she could see better of what's down below. She tried looking for a red hood but there was too many people. It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

"Webs, how's it lookin' up there?" Wolf asked, over the comm

"Negative," Webs replied, sticking a french-fry in her mouth. "It's a mad house down there, Wolfie. But I'll keep looking"

He then radioed his two fish friends over the comm.

"Shark, Piranha?" Wolf called over the comm, "Any luck?"

"Negative," Shark said back. "We've checked every red hood but neither one of them is the kid. I'm telling ya—he really knows how to slip away"

"Yeah, he maybe even a better master of disguise than Shark" Piranha said sarcastically, over the comm

Shark's eyes widened and he immediately turned down and growled at Piranha, "I could eat you!" he yelled

"I like to see you try, sardine breath!" Piranha yelled back

Wolf snapped his fingers over the comm, "Hey, hey! Focus you two. Kill each other, later"

"We'll make a note of it," said both fish criminals, over the comm. "Over and out"

Wolf then radioed his best friend, "Snake, buddy, how about it? What's your status?"

"Oh, gee, I don't know maybe you should radio me back once my MIGRAINE has gone away!" Snake said, sternly. "I hate the mall" he grumbled

Wolf rolled his eyes and continued to pass through several kids and restaurant goers.

This was a stressful time for Wolf and his friends especially after what just happened back at the museum. So Wolf decided to do what he normally does best—snagging wallets and jewelry from parents along the way. The canine's cunning smile started to return. Pickpocketing was only medicine that could relieve his stress. As he continued forward, he stopped in his tracks when something caught his attention. It was the sight of a birthday cake being delivered to a very special child who was turning the age of five tonight. Wolf took a moment to watch this as all the child's friends and family began to sing Happy Birthday to him. Wolf couldn't help but take a trip down memory to a time when he turned five-pup-years-old only he didn't have too many friends who liked him, got him presents, or having loving parents that loved him very much. Nope, he was indeed a lone wolf—or at least he used to be after he met Snake and formed the Bad Guys along with Shark, Piranha, and Webs. Those guys were the only family he's ever had—and he was very grateful to have them in his life. Wolf continued to watch once the song was over; then the kid blew out the birthday candles and everyone cheered for him. Wolf couldn't help but quietly clap along as a warm smile came upon his face.

Suddenly the canine realized he was on a mission and he quickly snapped out of it. Wolf went back to searching for the kid.

An hour had passed, but they had no luck, Wolf and Snake were walking/slithering together.

"Wolf, this is a waste of time!" Snake said, sternly. "We'll never find the brat in this death maze"

"We'll get him," Wolf reassured him

"Oh, we'll get him" Snake said back, in a childish tone. "That's what you said back on the highway"

"Hey, he got lucky," Wolf told him, "I want the Golden Dolphin back as much as you do"

"I only agreed to do this job because I wanted to devour that goody two-shoes Marmalade NOT go out chasing little rugrats before their bedtime!" Snake growled, "Heck, this shouldn't even be happening to us right now!"

"Will you calm down," Wolf told him

"No, I will not calm down!" Snake growled, "We almost make a clean getaway and this twerp pops out of the blue and ruins everything!"

"This boy is clever," Wolf said. "He can run but he can't hide"

"If we do catch him I'm gonna wrap myself around him and use his body for a stress toy" Snake said, sternly

"You know I find it a mystery why you still follow my lead after all these years," Wolf said, smirking. "You must really must put your faith in me too much"

"Seriously, you pick the worst timings for sweet-talks" Snake said

"Somebody's gotta wipe that ol' grump off your face" Wolf said

(SNAKE CHUCKLING)

"Trust me, if you can taste air to catch a guinea pig then I can smell him a mile away" Wolf said, "We're gonna catch him"

"You don't expect him to walk right under our noses, do ya?" Snake asked

The two master criminals decide to stop right in between a small child wearing a white hood who was standing still as they looked around. However, what they both didn't realize was that Boy was the one dawning the white hood. In situations like this, it was important to be calm and think smartly.

Boy looked at the fourth wall and whispered, "I can see where these morons are going to give me trouble"

Being in a panic would only make the situation worse and his attempt at escaping was not going to work. But Boy was already ahead of the game as a plan began formulating in his mind. He looks up at Wolf. He looks up at Snake. They were both distracted with the sights around them.

Boy then looks ahead. And what does he see?

A woman—with a shapely rear end.

A mischievous smile returns to the kid's face. He glances to the fourth wall and does that funny thing with his face by making his eyebrows bounce up and down. Boy sneaks his hand out—and pinches the woman's rump.

Boy quickly changed back to looking innocent as the woman quickly turned around. Her eyes bulge in alarm and gasps when she sees Wolf.

When Wolf noticed the woman looking at him he immediately went into Clooney mode. The canine expressed his charming smile and said, "Well, good evening"

The woman frowns at him, draws her fist back, and slammed it against Wolf's muzzle with a cartoony sound effect. It was a punch powerful enough to bring the canine to the ground.

"He did it!" Boy yelled and pointed over to Snake

"Did what?" Snake asked, sternly

But the woman responded by socking the reptile in the face, too, in a cartoony sound effect causing Snake to join with Wolf on the ground.

"Wise guys, eh?" The woman said, cracking her fists

Boy looks up to the woman and smiles, "Thanks"

The kid takes off through the moving crowds of people while Wolf and Snake struggled to lift themselves up. They found him and he was getting away!

"THAT'S HIM! THAT WAS HIM! GET HIM, WILL YA!" Snake yelled

"Guys, we found him! He's heading west" Wolf shouted, into the comm. "Don't let him get away!"

The scene changes to Shark, who gasped, when he spotted the kid running from the distance.

(SHARK GASPS)

The scene then quickly changes to Webs who also spotted him and she yelled, "I see him!"

When Piranha spotted the kid—the craziness in his eyes returned and he yelled in his native tongue.

(PIRANHA WHOOPING)

"We gotcha now!" Piranha whooped


Everyone broke from their positions and started chasing after the kid. Boy quickly skidded to a stop when he spotted four mop buckets unattended; each filled with water. Another idea was formulating in kid's mind. Boy dumped out all the buckets and spilled the water all over the floor. Just when the Bad Guys were all ready to grab him—the ground underneath them became uneasy for their feet's, legs, and tail. Each of the mop buckets filled with water were dumped in the each of the Bad Guys paths they were running on. Soon enough they were all sliding and stumbling on water struggling to keep on balance. It was like ice skating but only on melted water. They all had a new destination—collision.

"Whoa!" Wolf cried, "Out of the way—whoa!"

"Watch it, will ya—whoa!" Snake shouted

"NYAGH—I can't stop!" Shark cried

"Slow down, I can't—whoa—too slippery!" Piranha cried

"LOOK OUT!" Webs cried

(SCREAMING)

(CRASHING)

All five Bad Guys slammed into each other with a BANG and they all hit the pavement with a BOING! But that wasn't the end of it—a waiter ended up slipping into the scene while holding a tray of smoothies that ended up flying in the air. When the Bad Guys looked up…they were all in for a messy surprise. The flying tray with the smoothies that was arcing overhead ended up dousing the criminal animals in it. The Bad Guys were now the Messy Guys.

All the parents and children who witnessed the scene were laughing, taking pictures, and making videos of them in their demise. The Bad Guys were mortified. This wasn't the kind of attention they were expecting especially even when everyone was afraid of them.

Shark groaned in disgust, "EW! I fell all sticky now!" he whined

Piranha used his tongue to lick the juice from his face. He smiled and said, "Tasty"

"This is so embarrassing," said the hacker, as she tried to hide herself

Snake yanked off the smoothie cup over his head, spitting out the juice from his mouth as he grumbled, "I hate the mall!"

"Where did he go?" Wolf asked

"HEY GUYS!"

The Bad Guys turned their attentions to Boy who was holding his phone up to take a picture of them.

"SMILE!"

Piranha, Shark, and Webs smiled for picture (except for Wolf and Snake) who just glared and gritted their teeth in anger. They were ready to strangle the kid.

Boy snapped the picture and took off.

"YOU LITTLE SON OF A…!" Snake yelled

"AFTER HIM!" Wolf shouted

The Bad Guys scrambled to get on their feet again while slipping and falling down at the same time while everyone continued to laugh, take pictures and videos of them. Once they were on their feet, they all began chasing after the kid—again—still being drenched in smoothie juice. Boy ran as fast as he could as the Bad Guys easily made their way through the moving crowds of people—pushing and throwing them aside, that is. But the kid wasn't through with them yet when another idea began formulating in his mind.

So, instead of heading for the exit—he headed straight for the Merry-Go-Round ride. The Bad Guys followed his path.

Once Boy got there, he cut in front of the waiting customers and entered in. When the Bad Guys arrived too, they did the same. Wolf then closes the gate behind them with a sign that says CLOSED for repairs.

"Sorry, folks," Wolf apologized to the kids and parents. "We're closed on the path for revenge"

(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING ANGRILY)

(KIDS CRYING)

The Bad Guys searched the entire carousel—there were all the empty seats. The kid was nowhere to be found.

"I don't see him," Webs called out

"This chico is really starting to get on my nerves!" Piranha said, "That sneaky little!…I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind!"

"Keep your cool, Piranha" Wolf told him

"Oh, we're beyond keeping cool right now" Snake said, sternly, "If I can only get my tail around his neck!…that no-good little hooligan!"

"Guys, I've got a bad feeling" Shark said, looking nervous

"What are you talking about?" Wolf asked

"Like we've somehow walked into a trap or something" Shark pointed out

"Don't let the kid get in your head," Snake told him, "If there's one thing I know: he's NO smarty pants"

"Yeah, says the guy who doesn't wear any" Wolf teased

"Shut up, Wolf!" Snake said, sternly

Shark was right, though. They all had walked right into a trap—Boy's trap. What they didn't notice was that Boy was hiding behind the carousel's main control system. He rubbed his hands together and let out an evil chuckle and pressed the green start button. Suddenly the carousel began to revolve slowly in low speed.

"Oh, look, the ride's starting," Shark said, "We better strap ourselves in"

"Seriously?" Webs said, cocking a brow

"Safety, first" Shark said, "Our seatbelts are always our friend"

"Shark, it's a kiddie ride" Snake said, sternly. "This contraption can't go any faster"

Boy expressed his mischievous smirk to the fourth wall.

The kid then looked down and spotted a speed knob from low to high. The kid decided to increase it to Medium. Soon the Merry-Go-Round began revolving a little faster than when it first started. The Bad Guys held onto anything that could allow their legs, paws, fins, and tail to grip onto.

"Can't go any faster, huh?" Webs asked, while gripping Shark's shirt

"Okay, well now I see it's going a little faster" Snake said

"Don't make it sound any worse!" Wolf yelled

But it was too late! Boy cranked the speed knob to High causing the entire carousel to revolve a lot faster. Soon the Bad Guys were spinning, screaming, and shouting while holding onto their lives. They were going a lot faster than ever.

"I THINK I'M ABOUT TO LOSE MI CENA!" Piranha cried, clutching onto the seat

"YOU THINK?!" Snake cried, wrapping himself around the pole

"GET ME OFF THIS THING!" Shark cried

(THE BAD GUYS SCREAMING)

But Boy wasn't finished, yet. He then turned the knob to…MAXIMUM HIGH!

Soon the whole carousel was revolving at the most highest speed it could spin. The Bad Guys were screaming at the top of their lungs. They weren't enjoying this—not one little bit. All the kids and parents who witnessed this just stood speechless at the whole thing. Except for Boy—he was laughing the entire time. He was enjoying this 100%.

(THE BAD GUYS SCREAMING)

Boy figured they had enough and he pressed the red stop button and took off while they were distracted. The carousel finally began to slow down until it came to a complete stop. The Bad Guys released their grips and slowly made their way off the ride. They all had woozy expressions on their faces as they wobbled unsteadily from side to side. It was indeed a disorienting sensation that they did not enjoy. All their faces had turned green. They could even hear imaginary bird sounds flying over their heads.

(BIRD CHIRPING SOUNDS)

"You see," Shark said, dizzyingly. "I told you seatbelts are our best friends"

"I'll never go anywhere without a seatbelt ever again" Webs said, dizzyingly

Piranha covered his mouth with both fins as he was ready to hurl, "Creo due me voy a enfermar"

"I…hate…the mall" Snake said, dizzyingly

Wolf's eyes spun uncontrollably as the canine tried to control his vision when he spotted something suspicious up ahead. Once his eyes returned to normal, he spotted Boy digging through one of the garbage cans. Boy pulled out what revealed to be the Golden Dolphin that he hid inside the trash after he arrived at the Planet Youth Playground Center. The child placed the trophy into his backpack and took off.

"He's…he's getting away…again!" Wolf said, dizzyingly. "Quick!…he mustn't…escape!"


But the woozy canine was soon stopped by an angry parent who confronted him.

"Closed for repairs, eh? Well, that machine doesn't look broken to me" said an angry mother, "What gives you the right to keep our children from having a good time?"

Wolf suddenly felt a disorienting sensation in his stomach that didn't feel right. He could feel it heading North to his mouth. The canine tried his best to keep it from coming out. The angry mother just stood tapping her foot impatiently waiting for him to reply to her.

"Well, aren't you going to say something?" The angry mother asked

Wolf couldn't hold it in any longer—he vomited all over the woman's chest. Everyone gasped in horror as well as Wolf's friends did when they witnessed what just happened. When the canine realized what he did—he covered his mouth with both his paws and made a loud gulp sound.

The mother, who was now covered in vomit, showed anger on her face.

"I'am so sorry" Wolf apologized

"YOU-YOU-WHY YOU!" The mother angrily shouted

The mother grabs Wolf by the neck and begins choking him. She shook him around so hard that it caused Wolf's hat and glasses to fly off revealing his true identity to the woman. When she realized who he was, she stopped; her eyes bulge in alarm and her jaw dropped.

"MR. WOLF!" The mother cried, "ONE OF THE BAD GUYS!"

All the kids and parents stopped what they were doing and gazed their attentions to Wolf. The canine nervously smiled and waved to the people. But everyone's reaction and response was screaming and running away in terror. Soon the entire Planet Youth Playground Center was empty as the alarms started ringing from the speakers.

(SCREAMING)

(ALARMS BLARING LOUDLY)

"Your looks always did work for something better, buddy" Snake complimented, sarcastically

"GUYS, OVER THERE!" Piranha said, pointing his fin

The other Bad Guys followed the direction to where Piranha was pointing at when they all saw Boy getting away with the Golden Dolphin—again.

"LOOK! The Golden Dolphin!" Shark shrieked, "He still has it!"

"C'mon!" Wolf told them, "We gotta catch him before he reaches the outside world!"

The other Bad Guys nodded and followed Wolf in pursuit, leaving the Planet Youth Playground Center, going after the kid once again. While running, Boy was able to steal a new skateboard and began rolling and riding away. The Bad Guys chased him all the way to the parking garage. Once they got there, they didn't see the kid but it was empty; all the cars were gone but they knew it'd more easier to find the kid since he couldn't hide under any vehicles. Wolf listened very carefully with his hearing and took a few sniffs in the air. Once he smelled a scent, his ears perked up and his eyes opened wide. Wolf knew where he was going.

"He's heading for the top floor," Wolf said

Piranha let out a maniacal laugh and said, "A dead end! He can't escape us now!"

The Bad Guys took off taking the stairs. It wasn't long until they reached the 3rd floor just in time when they all spotted the kid. He was sitting calm on the ledge with the Golden Dolphin sitting right next to him. The child waved to them.

"I thought you dummies would never get here," Boy said, with a smug smile

Snake, Shark, Piranha, and Webs all let out sinister laughs except Wolf who just gave the child an agitated look. The Bad Guys slowly approached the kid with caution.

"There's nowhere to run now, little man" Shark said, pounding his fist

"We've got you surrounded, chico!" Piranha said, "Time to say your prayers"

"Okay, pipsqueak" Wolf said, glaring. "You've had your fun. Now, please, hand over the Golden Dolphin"

Boy expressed a pouty face, "Awwwww! But we were just having fun—well, at least I was"

Snake hissed gritting his teeth at him, "You're really asking for it! I hope you realize that!"

Boy nodded at the reptile.

"Like I said," Boy said, "I'm not afraid of any of you"

"You should be," Webs warned, "We're the Bad Guys!"

"I know you are," Boy told her. "But I'm still going to be the one that gets away, first"

Webs scoffed at the child, "Not if we all grab you at the same time"

(OTHER BAD GUYS SNICKERING)

Wolf raised a finger at Boy, "You've got 5 seconds to hand it over" he warned

Boy remained silent but continued smiling. Wolf wasn't playing around. The child's only two options were: easy way or hard way. The choice was his.

"…4" Wolf counted

Boy said nothing.

"…3" Wolf counted

Boy still said nothing.

"…2" Wolf counted

Suddenly, Boy shouted, "WAIT!"

Wolf paused and flashed a smug smile of victory. The others did the same knowing that the kid would give up the Golden Dolphin, easily.

"Good choice" Wolf said

Boy shook his head, "No—this is"

Boy scooped up the Golden Dolphin in his arms and jumped off the ledge. The Bad Guys stood shocked and speechless by what they had just witnessed. Did a little boy just commit suicide?

The criminal animals quickly rushed over to the ledge to see what became of him but when they looked down—they were all in for another surprise. Instead of hitting the pavement, Boy landed safely in the back of a moving truck filled with soft mattresses. Wolf and the others couldn't believe their eyes. The kid had outsmarted them again.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" Webs cried

"HEY, THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Shark whined

"HOW'D HE DO THAT?!" Piranha cried

"HEY, YOU! Wolf cried

"GET BACK HERE, YOU LITTLE DEMON!" Snake shouted

Boy waved and blew farewell kisses, "So long, suckers!"

"COME BACK!" Wolf shouted, angrily. "This isn't over! We'll find you! We will find you!"

"Counting on it!" Boy shouted back

Soon the truck exited the parking lot and merged into the moving traffic, with Boy riding with it. The Bad Guys watched helplessly seeing their Golden Dolphin being taken away from them in the hands of a tiny little human boy. Wolf growled and gritted his teeth in anger; not letting his eyes off the kid. One thing was for sure—they wanted to get that kid.

"Hey, shouldn't be a total loss, anyone up for tacos?" Piranha offered, "My treat?"

The scene changes to the back of the moving truck with Boy holding onto the Golden Dolphin. The child kissed the trophy and held it up in victory. He had finally gotten away! Barks popped out from behind his master's backpack and jumped onto Boy's lap snuggling him.

Boy notices the fourth wall and begins talking to them, "Oh, hey! Yep, I told you I'd get away with it. But I have a feeling they'll be coming after me again soon, the big dummies"

(BARKS BARKING)

Boy placed the trophy on the mattress and lifted up Barks with his hands.

"If you think that was crazy—what till you see what happens in the next chapter" Boy said, to his guinea pig companion


Another chapter completed! Thank-you so much for your patience, as always. Keep in mind, I am not giving up on this story. I've got a lot of ideas and I'm NOT going to quit! So don't go away because new exciting chapters will be coming soon, I promise. Until next time: please review and stay tuned for more fun.
