I was at Eddie's office on his bed talking to the shrunken head on my belt when Jessica came through the door asking for Eddie. He came out of the bathroom shirtless and with no belt. He was only wearing his tie, his undies, his socks, shoes, and his pants. "You've got me all wrong, Mr.Valiant and pirate boy. I'm a pawn in this, just like Roger. Can you help me find him? Just name your price, and I'll pay it" said Jessica as she was looking in a mirror and then she shined it on me and Eddie.

"Please stop that, I don't like people shining mirrors at me or people filming me" I said. "Ya, cause you need the rabbit to make the scam work" said Eddie. "No, no I love my husband. You've got me all wrong. You two don't know how hard it is being a woman, looking the way I do" said Jessica. "Ya, well. You don't know how hard it is being a man, looking at a woman looking the way you do" said Eddie. "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way" said Jessica. "Were you the one I caught playing patty cake with old man Acme?" asked Eddie. "You didn't catch me, Mr.Valiant. You were set up to take those pictures. Maroon wanted to blackmail Acme, I wanted noting to do with it, but he said if I didn't pose for those patty cake pictures, Roger would never work in this town again. I couldn't let that happen. I'd do anything for my husband Mr.Valiant, anything" said Jessica as she let her boobs bounce up against Eddie's chest. "What a wife" said Eddie as he put his arms around Jessica, forgetting that he wasn't wearing a belt. "I'm desperate, Mr.Valiant and pirate boy. Can't you see I need you?" asked Jessica as Dolores appeared in the doorway. "Ahem. Dabbing in water colors, Eddie?" she asked. Eddie chuckled nervously pulling his pants back up. "Goodbye, Mr.Valiant and pirate boy. My offer stands firm, think about it" said Jessica as she blew a kiss to him and to me. And since it was a toon kiss, the kiss literally flew and landed on me and Eddie's cheeks. "Well, *rips the kiss off Eddie* do you wanna tell me what she was doing with her arms around you?" asked Dolores. "Probably looking for a good place to stick a knife" defended Eddie. "Oh, come on, Eddie. I caught you with your pants down" said Dolores as she walked out the door as mad as a child who can't get candy from the candy store.

"Epic fail" I said. Eddie glared at me as got dressed as me and him ran out the door after Dolores. "Come on, Dolores. You don't a believe a pussy like that could turn my head. She's just trying to get her hands on the rabbit" said Eddie. "That's not all she's trying to get her hands on" said Dolores. "Look, Dolores. I want you to go down to the store and buy yourself a little swimsuit, cause you and I are going to Catalina. I'm on the verge of wrapping up this case!" said Eddie. "No, you're not Eddie. That's what I came to tell you and pirate boy. I checked by probate, Maroon's not after Toon Town like you two thought. It's Cloverleaf who wants to get their hands Toon Town, they put in the highest bid. And unless Marvin Acme's will shows up by midnight tonight, Cloverleaf is gonna own Toon Town" said Dolores. "At midnight tonight?" asked Eddie. "That's right" clarified Dolores.

"Hey, that rhymes too" I said. "First the Red Car, then they want to get their hands on Toon Town. I don't get it" said Eddie. Dolores shushed Eddie and me when she heard something. We all could hear the faint sound of music and Roger singing. "ROGER!" yelled Eddie as he grabbed our hands and ran to the Terminal Bar. Then, I saw the sewer drain be lifted up by the weasels. "The rabbit, get the judge" said Smarty. We went up the stairs to the bar to see Roger dancing on the table. "Oo hoo, I like your shirt. Who's your tailor? Quasimodo? My buddy's Eddie V. a sourpuss you'll see. But when I'm done, he'll need no gun, cause a joker he will be. C, D, E, F, G, H, I, I-love to raise some cain, believe me it's no strain. I always love to smash a plate and look there's no pain, no pain, no pain" said Roger as he started smashing glass plates on his head. "OH!" yelled Dolores. Eddie went over to the record player, stopped it, grabbed Roger by his ears, and threw him into the rotgut room, his head crashing into a bucket. "You crazy rabbit, Jack and I are out their risking our necks and what are you doing? Singing and dancing!" said Eddie as Roger finally managed to get the bucket off his head. Eddie grabbed it and threw it angrily. "But I'm a toon, toons are supposed to make people laugh" said Roger. "SIT DOWN!" yelled Eddie. He has never looked that angry before. Well, minus when Roger almost sat at Teddy's desk. "You don't understand, those people needed to laugh" defended Roger. "Ya, they'll laugh then they'll call the cops!! That guy Angelo would rat on you for a nickel!" said Eddie. "No, not Angelo. He'd never turn me in" reassured Roger. "Why? Because you made him laugh?" asked Eddie. "That's right, a laugh can be a very powerful thing. Why, sometimes in life, it's the only weapon we have. Laughing can-" explained Roger, before Eddie shushed him. I opened the door a creak to see Doom standing near the stairs as cold and icy as ever. "I'm looking for a murderer" he said, calmly. Behind him were his weasel minions. Eddie was looking at Doom and the weasels through a peephole. "A rabbit. A toon rabbit. About ye........big" said Doom, pushing a dwarf man down, he kind of reminded me of Marty. "Look, there's no rabbit here. So, don't harass my customers" lied Dolores. "I didn't come here to harass, I came here to reward" said Doom as he grabbed the sleeve of a guy and dusted French from French Dip and wrote Rabbit next to Dip. His writing was extremely unpleasant to hear. Angelo saw the reward, which was $5,000. "(Whistles) Hey, I've seen a rabbit" he said. "See" said Eddie to Roger, who shrugged defense. "Where?" asked Doom. "He's right here in the bar" continued Angelo. "Where?" asked Doom, again. Angelo put his arm around an imaginary rabbit sitting on the stoop next to him. "Well, say hello. Harvey" he said. Everybody started laughing at Doom accusing someone who's not real. "I told ya so" said Roger. Doom smiled a creepy smile to make everybody stop laughing. Then, he heard the record player still playing. Eddie stopped the record but the machine kept going. Doom picked up the record and inspected it. "'Merry-Go-Round-Broken-Down'. Quite a loony selection for a couple of drunken reprobates" said Doom as he proceeded to sniff the record for which I can only imagine to pick up Roger's scent. "He's here" he declared as he threw the record like a frisbee at Stupid, who had his mouth wide open making the other weasels laugh at him. Even Smarty couldn't help himself. "Stop that laughing!" yelled Doom as he pushed Smarty, so he'd fall on a table. Breaking it in the process. "Have you forgotten what happened last time?! If you don't stop this laughing, you're gonna end up dead!! Just like your idiot, hyena cousins!" shouted Doom to Smarty. "Say, boss. You want us to 'disresemble' the place?" asked Smarty.

"Disassemble" I corrected. "No, sergeant. Disassembling the place won't be necessary. The rabbit will come right to me. No toon can resist the old 'Shave And A Haircut' trick" said Doom as he started tapping the tune on the walls to get Roger to him. "I don't know who's toonier, you or Doom" said Eddie to Roger, who was trying hard not to fall for the 'Shave-And-A-Haircut' trick. "Shave and a haircut" said Doom as Roger burst through the wall exposing him, me, and Eddie. "Two bits-" sang Roger as Doom grabbed him by the throat. "Hey, judge. What should we do with the wall flowers?" asked Smarty as he and Greasy threatened us with knifes. "We'll see to them later. Right now, I feel like dispensing some justice. Bring me some Dip" said Doom as a big jar of Dip was brought out to kill Roger with, who screamed in fear. "Does the condemned have anything to say before his sentence is carried out?" asked Doom. Roger was about to answer but he tightened his grip on Roger's throat. "Dolores, bourbon. And make it a double" said Eddie.

"Seriously, you're gonna drink at a time like this?" I asked. "Fine time for a drink, Eddie. Maybe you'd like a bowl of pretzels to go with it" said Dolores as she made the drink. "Just pour the drink, Dolores!" Eddie whispered while Doom was busy trying to get Roger into the Dip. "Hey, judge. Does a dying rabbit deserve a last request?" asked Eddie. "Yes, nose plugs would be nice" suggested Roger. "I think you want a drink. How 'bout it, judge?" he asked. "Oh, why not. I don't mind prolonging the execution" agreed Doom. "Happy trails" said Eddie, handing Roger the drink. "No thanks, Eddie. I'm trying to cut down" said Roger. "Drink the drink" said Eddie. "But I don't want the drink" said Roger. "He doesn't want the drink" said Doom.

"You stay out of this" I said. "Thanks, Jack. Drink the drink" said Eddie. "I don't want the drink" said Roger. "You do" said Eddie. "I don't" said Roger. "You do" said Eddie. "I don't" said Roger. "You don't" said Eddie. "I do" said Roger. "You don't" said Eddie. "I do" said Roger. "You don't" said Eddie. "Look, when I say 'I do' that means I do" said Roger as he grabbed the drink and drank it. Then, before I knew what happened, he started spasming.

"What's happening?" I asked. Eddie got down and pulled me and Dolores down with him. After a while, Eddie got up and took the chance to beat up the weasels. Both me and him got quite a few punches from Smarty. I'm pretty sure I just had a flashback of Grandmama giving me beatings as a kid. But, luckily, Eddie got ahold of a bottle and sprayed him with it. Roger's little spasm was over and he almost landed in the Dip, but Eddie grabbed him in time. "Got ya, kid" he said. Eddie knocked the Dip down and ran. "Come on, Eddie and Jack. Let's get outa here. Move it, gramps!" said Roger as he pushed an old person out of the way.

"Sorry" I apologized to the guy. We ran outside and looked for a way to escape. "That was quick thinking, Eddie and Jack" said Roger. "ROGER!" yelled Eddie as he grabbed Roger's ears and threw him into the weasels's van. "Come on, Eddie and Jack. What are you waiting for?" asked Roger. "There's damn no key!" shouted Eddie. "Hey, weasels! Let me out of here, huh? I gotta make a living!" yelled a voice. "Benny, is that you?" asked Roger looking in the back of the van. "No, it's Eleanor Roosevelt! Come on, Roger! Get me out of here!" said Benny. "Eddie and Jack, we got ourselves a ride. Open the doors!" said Roger as he climbed into the back of the van. The love letter he wrote for Jessica fell out of his overalls, so Eddie put in his jacket for later. We got out of the van and saw a giant, yellow toon car pop out of the back of the van. "Ahhh, that's better. I can't believe they locked me up for driving on the sidewalk!" he said. "Come on, guys. Get in" said Roger. "It was just a couple of miles" said Benny. "I'll drive" said Eddie.

"No, I'll drive" I said. "But I wanna drive" whined Roger. "No I'll drive, I'm the cab. Out of my way, pencil neck! How about this weather, huh? It never rains" said Benny.

"It never rains. Then, how do the plants and trees here stay so green, I wonder?" I asked. The weasels came running out of the bar, and they weren't happy. "They took the van" said Smarty. "Let's go" said Wheezy. "And how about those Brooklyn Dodgers, are they bums or what?" asked Benny, continuing to rant. Before we knew it, we heard gunshots. "Benny, Eddie, Jack, we got company" said Roger. "I'm gonna blow his head off" said Smarty.

'Disturbing' I thought. "Would ya look at these two? Excuse me, ladies! Now, that's what I call a couple of road hogs" said Benny as he drove between two cars close to each other on the road. "Benny, look out for the red car!" warned Roger. Benny swerved and luckily missed the red car. The Toon Patrol van swerved and missed the red car too. While we were still trying to escaping, two real cops showed up on motorcycles and were chasing us too, I guess for speeding. "Benny, the cops are behind us" warned Roger again. "Not for long, Roger. *Turns around so we're facing backwards* Now, they're right in front of us" said Benny. "Eddie, we're going backwards. Gimme the wheel, gimme the wheel!" said Roger. Benny spun around in all directions to leave the cops and the Toon Patrol behind.

"This couldn't get anymore intense" I said. "The cops are still on our tail" said Roger. "I know the cops are still on our tail! What do you think I am?! Blind?!" said Eddie. "PULL THE LEVER!!!" yelled Benny. "Which one? Which one?" we asked while looking at various buttons. "Which one?" asked Benny as a sign popped out next to the steering wheel that said 'This Lever, Stupid'. Eddie pulled the lever and it made Benny's wheels extend up so we could get away from the cops and the Toon Patrol. "I'm getting too old for this" complained Benny. The cops and the weasels were so distracted by what they had just seen that they forgot to keep their eyes on the road so they crashed into each other. The cops managed to jump over the van and land on the ground so they were fine. "Jumping Jeepers" said Roger. "Hey, Roger. What do you call the middle of a song?" asked Benny. "Gee, I don't know, Benny" said Roger, before he clung to Eddie when Benny jumped over a lady pushing her baby in a stroller and onto a bridge. "A BRIDGE!!" yelled Roger. "Well, fellas, where can I drop ya?" asked Benny. "Somewhere we can hide" said Roger. "I got just the place. And incidentally, if you ever need a ride, just stick out your thumb. Hey! Share the road, will ya, lady?!" said Benny.
