Chapter 4 {Stolen and Gone}

Dear Diary,

So I've been at this "internship" thing for several weeks now. It's so fun! Me and Fenton are best friends, and all of us in the lab are like family! It took me a while to get used to Manny. He's a headless man-horse. Oh! And Lil Bulb is SO cute! Gyro says that he isn't usually fond of new people, but I befriended him within a few hours. Gyro's been friendlier lately. He laughs when I figure out something, and shout out something about being a genius, with a cocky smirk. He says that I remind him of himself, which is a bit weird in my opinion.

But either way, I've been learning a lot of things I didn't know. Also, Fenton's M'ma, as he calls her, came by one time. He had forgotten his lunch. His M'ma was very kind. She's a police officer.

Welp. I gotta go. I've got tons of work to do.

~(Y/n) Featherclaw <3

(Y/n) shut the journal and placed it back in her bag.

"What was that?" Gyro asked, curiously, from behind her.

"A book." she answered plainly. Gyro nodded.

"I need you to run these up to Mr. McDuck." Gyro handed her a stack of papers, once she had stood up.

"Sir, yes, sir." she saluted him with a grin. Taking the papers in her hands, she began her trek up to Mr. McDuck's office. She knocked on the door.

"Good morning, Mr. McDuck!" she smiled, as she walked in the door.

"G'morning, lass. Got something for me?" he gestured to the papers in (Y/n)'s hand, and (Y/n) handed them over.

"Thank you, lass. I wish I had more time to talk, but I have a very important meeting to attend."

"Yes, sir." (Y/n) replied as they walked out. She went one way, and Mr. McDuck went the other. (Y/n) made her trek back down to the lab.

"Well, we could try recalibrating it." (Y/n) heard Fenton through the elevator. The elevator dinged when it stopped.

Meanwhile, inside the lab...

"Uh, oh. She's back early!" Fenton said, and he and Gyro rushed to put the Gizmoduck suit away. They put it away just in time. Just as the elevator door opened, Gyro went back to working, but Fenton awkwardly leaned against the lab counter, trying to 'act normal'. When (Y/n) walked in, she had already had suspicions, having heard Fenton, but her suspicions were increased when she saw Fenton.

"You okay there, Fenton?" she asked him.

"Y-yeah. Of course." he stuttered a bit. (Y/n) mentally shrugged and went back to work at her desk.

"Don't you and Mr. McDuck usually talk for a while when you go up there?" Gyro asked (Y/n).

"Yeah. He had a meeting to go to this time." she replied.

"Where did the ray gun I was working on yesterday go?" Gyro asked. Neither Fenton nor (Y/n) knew. (Y/n) looked over in a box next to her desk, only the box wasn't there.

"My box is missing!" she exclaimed.

"Clop, clop, clop, clop!" said (?) Manny. The group looked around, and saw that a lot of their stuff was missing.

"Maybe we can check the security cameras!" (Y/n) exclaimed. They all rushed up to the security room.

After explaining the situation, the security people showed them the footage of the previous night. Nothing showed on the screen for several long minutes. (Which was several hours worth of footage, sped up.)

"Like I said, we didn't see anything." commented a large, burly guard. A hooded figure appeared on the screen, and Gyro slammed the pause button.

"Then what's this?" Gyro questioned, pointing to the figure on the screen. It was true, what the guard had said. They hadn't seen anything, but that was because they had been playing cards instead of doing their job. Gyro backed up the footage to just before the figure appeared. On the screen:

The figure crept onto the screen, went over to a lab table, picked up some gadgets, and stuffed them in their bag. The figure then went over to (Y/n)'s desk, knelt down next to it, and picked up a box full of (Y/n)'s stuff. The figure put a few more things in the box, then turned to leave, revealing...

"(Y/n)?!?!" Fenton and Gyro gasped and Manny clopped.

"I-I..." (Y/n) didn't know how to respond.

"(Y/n) Featherclaw, you're fired."

"But Dr. Gearl-"

"No, Fenton. She was caught on camera."

The young duckling solemnly walked out of the room and down the hallway.

"(Y/n), what's wrong?"

She looked up to see Dewey pacing to her.

"I-I...I got fired."

"For what?"

"Stealing," (Y/n) replied, "But I didn't do it!"

"I believe you." the blue-clad duck said with determination, then marched away to have a talk with Gyro. (Y/n) exited the building, and called her mom, moving out of the way of the people walking down the sidewalk. As she hung up, she heard a voice.

"Miss Featherclaw?"

She looked slightly to her left, and saw none other than Mark Beaks, yes, the Mark Beaks, zooming up to her on a segway.

"Y-yes, sir?" was all she could respond with.

"I've heard great things about you! You're Dr. Gearloose's intern, right?"

"Yes-" (Y/n) caught herself, "No. No, sir. Not anymore."

"What happened?" Mark Beaks questioned.

"I was fired because I apparently stole some stuff."

"But you didn't, right?"

"No."

"I believe you, kid." he appeared to think for a moment, "Hey! How about you come work for me? I'll even pay you!"

"Really?!" (Y/n) smiled. The thought of someone wanting to pay her to do something she loved was fantastic. She didn't want to be a 'traitor' to McDuck Industries, but it would be awesome to get paid for her work.

"Yeah!" he smiled back at the young girl.

"Thank you, Mr. Beaks!"

"Call me Mark."
