The Caper of the Century

Chapter 1

I was sitting in my dreary office, looking out at the snowdrift blocking my window. The green and peach stripe pattern reflected off the bright snow. Bookshelves filled to the brim with mystery novels lined the bad looking walls. My name is Fangs, and I'm an investigator for the Toontown Secret Police. We're the ones secretly leading the offense against the cogs. I work in the 'Brrrgh' division, sneaking my way into Lawbot HQ any way I can. The news is on, and my office mate, Lady Tricky, is watching. Suddenly, the phone rings. Lady holds the phone, hesitates, and then sets it down for the answering machine to kick in.
"Hello. This is the answering machine of the Toontown Secret Police. If you meant to call the Ice Cream Shop, you will be knocked out, forget about this call, and you will immediately wake up hearing the clerk asking, for the millionth time, who it is. If you meant to dial this number, you will be knocked out anyways. If you hang up, the same procedure applies." Silence echoes through the office. "Please leave a message after the tone. BEEP!" A dog's barks come echoing through the tiny sound holes.
"Hi. It's Flippy. Just pick up the phone already so we can talk. I don't want to almost get hit by a punching bag again." Lady answered the phone and put it on speaker.
"It's us. What's the problem?" Flippy pauses for a full ten seconds and I say, "Everyone in your office knows about us. The truth about us. You don't have to look around to check if anyone is listening."
"Fine. There are more cogs than ever being made in all the HQs. Your job is to sneak into Lawbot HQ and find out what they are doing, and if it has anything to do with these strange disappearances. And be warned, whoever is doing this may be trying to get you next..." The phone started making weird noises and the lights flickered. Our assistant, a yellow mouse named Sparky, said, "Typical mystery fan reenactment of a creepy scene. That's the seventh time this week!" Then the phone started making noises that sounded like a voice whispering, "You have one hour to abandon this case. Or else." I said, "We aren't afraid of you! Do your worst!" The voice said, "Oh, I will all right! BWAH HAH HAH HAH!" The lights flickered on, then off, and Sparky was gone.

As you can tell, I am writing my first story on Toon HQ. It's a mystery/drama story. I just want to warn you; this is going to get a little complicated.

Ooo, awesome..

Thanks!

Next chapter is tomorrow or Thursday.

Please be tomorrow...

I'll do the best I can...

Chapter 2

As you can tell, we obviously ran away in fright like spooked mice. We went around the other divisions. Minnie's Melodyland was as empty as a ghost town. We opened the hidden door and the place was vacant. Everything was gone. To save time, we radioed (yes, people still use walkie-talkies) the other divisions. Only the Daisy Gardens unit responded. We teleported as fast as possible.

Now, the Daisy Gardens division is made up of Miss Mandy, a monkey, and Wonderwoof, a dog. Everyone thinks they're really nice and fun-loving. They are the toons you would least suspect of working for the police. But I know better than that.

"...and then that weird yellow toon tried tackling us, but he was really weak, so he just took our assistant, Spunky, and left and we were really confused." I honestly didn't know how to respond to Wonderwoof's energetic lecture, but I was still left wondering...
"What did Spunky look like?" Miss Mandy replied, "He was a little brown mouse and he was really quick for everything." For that matter, so was Sparky... As Lady Tricky asked, "Were the security cameras on?" I was wondering if there was any connection between the mice. It clicked while someone responded, "The wires were cut beforehand."
"All the assistants were related! They were sextuplets! My mom worked at their mom's workplace!" Lady Tricky asked, "Well, what does that have to do with anything?" I responded, "We find one, we find them all, and we find the thief, too." Just then, the lights flickered on and off. The paper I had written my theories on had disappeared.

OOOOOO. Spooky. I LOVE IT. :D Really good.

Is anyone noticing a pattern?

Me. all the assistants are mice and their names start with S like Sparky or Spunky and they are all taken.

Great job Fangs! :D

Wonderwoof: Thanks!
Miss Mandy: Yes, but that's not the only pattern. MWAH HAH HAH!!! XD

Awesome!

Thanks! New chapter this weekend.

Yay! :D

Maybe even today...

Sorry for the delay... I've been busy with school and all that stuff... Two chapters will be released this weekend! For sure this time. I promise.

OK! Awesome!

Gosh! Woah! :D

Trying to be patient... Trying to be patient... I CAN'T BE PATIENT! I NEED MY FANG'S STORY FIX!!! AHH!!! lol. Anyways, can't wait till you post it!!

It should come out this weekend. For real. For REAL real.

Here is the first of four parts to be released today and Monday. Me hopes you like. :D

Chapter 3

As we walked around, trying to figure out where the thief went, I remembered the old tunnels that Toontown built decades ago. We disappeared through the hole behind the bookcase (it's always the bookcase, isn't it) and started crawling. As we were going along, trying to find the first exit, I said, "This tunnel leads to... OW!" I had hit the wall and everyone crawling behind me was pushed back three feet. Miss Mandy asked, "Where is OW and does it have candy? I'm all out of chocolate." "Me too. I hate these 10 piece packages," said Wonderwoof. Lady Tricky said, "That explains their personalities. It's as if they're always on a sugar rush. But why would the assistant-stealing, double-crossing, no-good miscreants head towards Minnie's Melodyland if they were probably working with cogs? There's no one there! Nothing to see, nothing to do, no one to talk to... Unless that's what they were aiming for!" Suddenly, the lights in the tunnel flickered for a second, and then went back to normal. "I hate these rolling blackouts, too," said Wonderwoof indignantly.

Chapter 4

We searched for hours around the playground and on all of the streets, but we couldn't figure out where the heck the thief went. So we got a little carried away...
"Come on guys! This is fun!" Miss Mandy was bouncing on all of the drums like they were trampolines. Wonderwoof then started jumping on the piano keys and I, extremely tempted, started sliding down the saxophones. Lady Tricky uneasily walked onto the drums. "Are you sure this is legal?" She started jumping slowly, then quickly. "This is the most fun I've had in years!" she yelled happily. "Well, that explains a LOT!" Miss Mandy screamed the last part because she was being catapulted by the drum out of the playground. "Let me see THAT!" Wonderwoof was catapulted as soon as she stepped on the drum. Me and Lady Tricky wandered onto the drum last and we both screamed our way out of the playground. We landed with a soft thud in a sandy area and we all started walking. "This place seems familiar..." we all said at the same time. Spooked, we ran around until Wonderwoof collided with another toon. We were surprised to find that we had ended up on the estate of our old friend, Good ol' Domino Octozapper.

More to come later!

Actually...You do know I'm super shy in real, right? Like...Super? Very quiet.

No. But your personality seemed more outgoing than that...
