Toons On The Run!!

Suddenly, the door had shooting to open it. The weasels grew tired of waiting for an answer, so they barged right in. One by one the weasels came in, looking around

"Looks like they gave us the slip, huh, boss?" Greasy asked, walking in with the others.

"Nah," Smarty said, looking carefully. "Valiant and that little brat's got 'em stashed somewhere."

Eddie and Bebe hummed, by the sink. They had soap and water and scrubbed with Eddie's hands in the sink and Bebe was putting away some dishes.

"Hold it right there!" Smarty snapped at them.

"Hello, boys," Eddie glanced at them.

"Sup." Bebe gives them a head nod

"We didn't hear you come in."

"Okay, wise guys," Smarty put a chair by the sink to put his gun to their heads. "Where's the rabbit and the girl?"

"Haven't seen them." Eddie shook his head.

Smarty sniffed in the sink, smelling something suspicious. "What's in there?"

"Bebe's underpants." Eddie holds up a pair of underwear making the room boy blush a bit as the weasels snicker and laugh at him, Bebe puffs out his cheeks mumbling under his breath "Shut it stupid weasels."

The weasels then started to leave when Roger came up, gasping for air and spit out the soapy water.

Eddie and Bebe shoved him back in and chuckled nervously and innocently.

"Search the place, boys and leave no stone 'interned'," Smarty commanded. "Look, Valiant and pipsqueak , we got a reliable tip-off, the rabbit and kid was here and it was 'corrugated' by several others," he then put his gun to Bebe's head. "So cut the bull shtick."

"Oooo Eddie he said a bad word." Bebe points at Smarty looking at Eddie who grumps a bit

"You keep talkin' like that in the presence of a little kid, I'm gonna have to wash your mouth out." Eddie said, shoving a bar of soap into the fowl weasel's mouth.

Smarty was pushed back by the soap, making him hit some boxes. The other weasels looked at him and started laughing at his misfortune as Roger came back out for air, but luckily, the weasels didn't see him.

"Stop that laughin'!" Smarty hissed at them, spitting the soap out, knocking out Wheezy. He then took out a plunger as Psycho, Greasy, and Stupid kept laughing. "Stop that laughin'! You know what happens when you can't stop laughin'!" he hit Greasy and Psycho on the head and shoved the plunger on Stupid's mouth and started to leave with his boys. "One of these days you're gonna die laughin'."

"As for you Valiant, step outta line and we'll hang YOU and your laundry out to dry," Smarty flicks some water at Eddie making him flinch, Smarty  snickers at Bebe pulling on his waistband of his underwear snapping making Bebe jump a bit in pain "Try wiping next time squirt." He then leaves with the weasels. "Come on, boys. Let's am-scray."

Bebe and Eddie watch as they close the door finally leaving

"Alright guys, the coast is clear."

Eddie pulled Roger out, allowing the rabbit to spit out some water and soap again. "They're gone! Jeepers, you guys, that was swell!" Roger wrung the water out of his ears.

Bebe knocks on the closet door letting Cece out, she breathes a sigh of relief wiping her brow "Phew that was close!"

You saved our lives! How can we ever repay ya?" Roger then took Eddie and Bebe, kissing them right on the mouth.

Eddie spat it out and Bebe rubs his lips on his sleeve sticking his tongue out gagging in disgust.

"For starters, don't ever kiss us again!" Eddie growled, spitting out the taste from his mouth.

"Yeah or I'll tie ya ears into a double knot!!

.....................................

Later that night, Bebe walks with Eddie who hid Roger and Cece in his jacket "Agh man it stinks in here did they not invent deodorant in the 1940s!"

"Zip it in there!" Eddie whispers/yells at her, he cautiously sniffs his armpit making a face before walking into the bar

"Dolores!" Eddie called as the waitress was with a table and a trolley was rumbling by.

"Dolores!" Bebe called with him.

"DOOOLOOOORESSSS!" Bebe and Eddie yelled at the top of their lungs once the trolley came by.

Dolores, and a lot of the patrons looked at them. Dolores then went their way  "Hey Eddie, you and that kid made the front page today!" a man called to the private investigator.

"Yeah, I guess I made some ink." Eddie shrugged.

"Come on, Eddie we're dying in here!" Roger and Cece popped out taking a deep breath of air, but got shoved right back in the suffocating jacket, which made him appear to be pregnant of some sort.

"So, tell me, Eddie," Dolores came, with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face. "Is that a rabbit in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

"Cut the comedy, Dolores, we've had a very hard day." Eddie said in a hushed tone, taking her in the back to privately handle this situation. "I gotta get outta these cuffs."

"Oh, swell." Dolores mumbled, sarcastically.

Finally as they were alone, Roger and Cece broke free from Eddie's heavy coat, Cece dramatically takes a deep breath "I can finally Breathe!!"

"Jeepers, Eddie, that almost killed me!" Roger breathed. "Boy, what is this? Some kind of a secret room?"

"It's a rotgut room." Dolores explained.

Roger then went exploring around and rambled with Bebe and Cece curiously. Eddie grabbed Roger and tried to find a way to get out of the forced handcuffs.

"I thought you said you'd never take another Toon case." Dolores told Eddie. "What'd you have, a change of heart?"

"Nothing's changed." Eddie told her. "Somebody's made a Patsy outta me and I'm gonna find out why." he then took out a box and a hacksaw, placing his and Roger's arms down to cut the saw.

"And what are you kids doing getting wrapped up in a murder case what are you like 5?" Dolores asked Bebe and Cece

"What are you like 40?" Bebe raises an eyebrow crossing his arms sassy like making Dolores glare at him luckily Cece pulls his hat over his head with a pout scolding her brother "Bebe shush!! We're um.. actually a long long looong way from home but now we wanna help solve this case."

"Hold still, will ya?" Eddie barked to Roger as the box was wobbling as he tried to saw the cuffs.

Roger slipped his wrist out of the cuff and held the box steady and still. "Does this help?"

"Yeah, thanks." Eddie said, then stopped sawing as he noticed what happened, Cece and Bebe puff out their cheeks trying to hold their laughter in.

Roger smiled nervously and put the cuff back on around his wrist.

"Do you mean to tell me that you could have taken your hand outta that cuff at any time!?" Eddie growled, not impressed with his antics.

"No, not any time," Roger said, plainly. "Only when it was funny."

"GET OUT!" Eddie yelled at him.

Roger jumped to a seat as the twins fall to the floor laughing hysterically "Come on, Eddie, where's your sense of humor? The twins got a great one!" Roger said, silly.

"He always this funny, or only on days when he's wanted for murder?" Dolores asked, grimly.

"Listen, my philosophy is this," Roger advised. "If you don't have a good sense of humor, you're better off dead!"

"Well, you may get your wish unless I can figure out what happened to this!" Eddie sneered, throwing a rolled up paper.

Dolores grabbed it and opened it to examine.

"What is it, Eddie?" Roger asked.

"Just look at it." Eddie told him.

The twins and Roger looked with the waitress and Toon rabbit. It was a photograph of Acme's pocket with his will with a red circle around it.

"Mr. Acme's will!" Roger discovered.

"Yeah, and I think Maroon played the part of sound mind and your wife, the sound body. I just can't figure out why Cece would be dragged into this mess." Eddie continued, as he sawed the cuff

"Why, I resent that innuendo!" Roger snapped with a hammer in his hand.

"What's the scheme, Eddie?" Dolores asked, taking the hammer from him.

"I don't think they got to the will," Eddie answered.

"But how do you know?" Bebe asked.

"Because, they were still looking for it after they killed him." Eddie looked into her eyes, then focused on the handcuffs.

"Anything I can do?" Dolores asked.

Eddie looked at her. "Maybe you could go downtown and check the probate."

"Yeah, check the probate," Roger agreed. "Why, my Uncle Thumper had a problem with his probate, and he had to take these big pills and drink lots of water."

"I think our dad said our great uncle Frank died from probate cancer." Cece looks at her brother with a thinking face

Eddie and Dolores eyed them, strangely.

"Not prostate, you idiots, probate!" Eddie corrected.

"Oh." Cece blushes with a sheepishly smile as Bebe facepalmed embarrassed this was his twin sister

"Let me get this straight. You think that my boss, RK Maroon, dropped a safe on Marvin Acme's head so that he could get his hands on Toon Town?" Roger asked.

"Yep," Eddie said, finally getting free from the handcuffs. "That's my hunch." he grabbed his jacket, looking at Cece and Roger, then at Dolores. "Uh, can they stay here for a couple of days?"

"Not gonna do anything crazy, are they?" Dolores asked, glancing at them.

Cece watched as Roger was sawing inside of his ears with the hacksaw, moaning with pleasure. He pops it out of his head handing it to Cece who looks at it curiously before sawing her ears sighing satisfied.

"Yeah they'll be fine." Bebe and Eddie shrugged, walking away

"Where are you goin'?" Dolores asked.

"Back to the office," Eddie told her, leaving with Bebe.
