Mrs.Savington has lost her poor defenseless kitty and is very upset over the whole ordeal. She has decided to put out an award for anyone who can get back her cat. The cat's description is given out to anyone intrested and the name of cat is Snookums. Location: Earth Difficulty: Easy (5 post minimum) Reward: +400 zeni, +2 DP, +10 all stats,+1 Rp Credit Available: Yes --------------------------------------------------------------- Krillin was in a bit of a bind. It would be his daughters birthday in a few weeks and he sill hadn't bought a single party favor. Not because he didn't care enough, no far from it. He cared so much his head was going to explode from guilt if he had to lie to his little-girl one more time. The problem was an age old one; Krillin didn't have any money. Which is why he scanned the paper every morning for odd jobs he could do to earn enough to at least get the girl a pinnate (she was so found of them.) So far, nothing and today looked like it would turn out the same. Then he saw it; a beacon on storm tossed sea, the light at the end of the tunnel, everything he'd been waiting for. Grabbing the phone he dialed the number printed. "Hello," said a sobbing voice on the other end of the line. "Er- Yes, hello. Mrs Savington?" Krillin could barely control his glee but felt it would be cruel to laugh while another person wept, "My name is Krillin and I've seen your ad in the newspaper." "You want to rescue my Mr. Snookums?" the woman voice had taken a drastic turn for the better. "Yes," Krillin had to hold the phone a foot from his ear because of the noise "Now if you could just tell me what it looks like, where you last saw it, and any hang out spots he might be fond of..." "Is this one of those over-the-phone scams?" the voice had become earnestly doubtful. "Ummm, No ma'am," he said after a pause. There was some heaving breathing on the woman's part. "Fine but if any of this information turns up the interweb, I'll have your neck." "Don't you mean internet?" asked Krillin innocently.The woman exploded. "Oh a wise guy, eh?" her voice was quite a bit higher than before "Maybe I don't want some young hooligan rescuing my Mr. Snookums, eh. Maybe I'll let someone who's a tad more respecting and a little less flippant do the job, eh." "No, please! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be flippant," truth be told he hadn't worked out how he'd been flippant or what it meant. "I just need some leads to follow." "Isn't that your job?" Krillin was begining to wonder if the woman was insane. "Yes but I'll need something to start with. Like a picture r something." "Oh," the woman's expression brightened "in that case you should come over right away." "Awesome, now I just need your address." "Why would you need my address?" the woman flared up again. Krillin groaned. |

Krillin arrived at Savington Manor at six, just as he had been told by Mrs. Savington. It had taken him two hours of promises and reassurances that he was in no way a con artist or going to steal their identites, but here he was. And now he kind of wished he wasn't. Savington Manor looked as if it had once been the seeting of a horror movie. It had all the necessary elements; a century or more of dust, statues of Kami-only-knows-what, and a giant iron gate that said "turn back now" every time it swung with a troll watching it. (Krillin wondered if he was some lass of beast in past life. Not only was he big and hairy, he also smelled like he'd been rolling in some thing's excrement.) Krillin gulped. "'Scuse me," he said holding out a pice of paper. "My name is Krillin. I'm here for the job," and he carefully held the paper above his head. The troll grunted after a quick inspection and opened the gate. "Thanks," Krillin said in his mot cheerful tone. The troll just stared the way trolls do when they want you to walk away. Being the amiable man he is, Krillin did so with gusto. Even Vegeta must smile more then this guy, Krillin thought as he rushed up to the giant oak door. There he was greeted by another troll with even worse manners. This on actually growled as he opened the door. Inside Krillin was greeted by a woman who just had to be Baba's long lost big sister. The woman was definitely old enough and she was certainly BIG enough. She's gotta be like five hundred pounds. The thought almost expressed itself as words. The woman scowled over thick rimmed glasses. "And you are?" she asked with a voice as sharp as a tack you might sit on. "Krillin," that was all he could think to say, "We spoke on the phone earlier. I'm hear to find your cat." "Oh, you're..." Mrs Savington's voice trailed off. "Short," Krillin had heard it enough times. "I know. May I please see a picture of Mr. Snookums." Mrs. Savington's face brightened (actually it just looked less wrinkled). "Yes, of course," she squealed. "Just wait here." And with that, she walked into an adjacent room leaving Krillin with time to examine his surroundings. They were enormous in every sense of the word. Krillin was used to being dwarfed but not like this. Everything wa so big. Even the spaces between spaces were big. Then there was all the junk from some long forgotten era scattered here and there. Giant vases, giant tables, giant table legs, giant stairwell (probably leading to something huge), giant everything! "Cat's probably just lost here somewhere," Krillin chuckled. "Shouldn't take to long to find him." |

Krillin and Mrs. Savington were going over the minutes before Mr. Snookums' disappearance. "Okay," Krillin began, "Okay, so you were reading him a bedtime story in his...bedroom?" "No, silly," Mrs Savington politely corrected. "Humans have bedrooms. Mr. Snookums slept in a small room adjacent to mine, where I keep all of his possessions." "Possessions?" Krillin had asked before he could stop himself. "Oh you know," said Mrs Savington, absentmindedly, "his litter box, chew toys, balls of yarn, cradle, toys, toy train, music box, beanie baby collection (he's just missing a few), dream catcher, shower-" Krillin waved a hand. "I get the picture," he said shaking his head. "So you're reading him a bedtime story and then what?" "Well that good-for-nothing niece of mine, Susan, calls me into the kitchen. We have an intercom in every room," she explained "Anyway, where was I? Ah yes, that louse calls me into the kitchen becuase 'it was high time we discussed where she stood in my will.' Bah!" she spat on Krillin's shoe. "Don't youngsters think about anything but money?! What's wrong with this generation? No offense to you, young man," she added. "I'm sure you make your parents proud everyday." "About the cat," Krillin said, tapping his notepad a little agitated. This was going no where. "You went to talk to your niece, then what?" "Well," the elderly woman continued, "We talked for a bit. I told her she'd just have to wait to find out, she told me I'd said the same to her mother thirty years I ago, and then I said I'd be saying the same to her daughter if she didn't keep her money hungry paws out of my face! Well that just about ended the argument. I left that little gold-digger screaming about me caring more about Mr. Snookum's then the family and went back to finish reading when John, he's my accountant, called. He needed me to approve some transactions. Of course that took an eternity and when I got back, Mr. Snookum's was gone! Oh, I never should have left him alone." "Its not your fault, ma'am," Krillin said as he patted her shoulder. He'd seen this done on T.V. a lot and had always wanted to do it. "And there's no need to worry. I'll find Mr. Snookums." |

Krillin examined what Mrs. Savington had referred to as a small room. Wow!, Krillin thought as loud to a scream as a thought can be. This room's as big Master Roshi's island. It wasn't. it was significantly larger but, in Krillin's defense, all the junk made it seem smaller. Setting aside his shock, he walked up to Mr. Snookum's cradle. The only thing Mrs. Savington described accurately, Krillin noted as he stood next to the 'toy train'. It was big enough for three average sized men so you can imagine how it made Krillin feel. Krillin gave his head a shake and got down to work. He peered into the cradle. It had a small mechanism that, when pushed from the inside, would cause the left side to drop into a slide-type stair. "She gives this cat way to much freedom," Krillin observed. "Wait!' Something had occure to him. Stumbling over a few balls of yarn, Krillin rushed over to the intercom. "Now which was it...Um, Hello?" A voice on the other end said, "Yes." "May I speak to Mrs. Savington, please?" Krillin said trying to pull a loose bit of yarn off his shoe. "One moment please," came the voice in the intercom. After a brief pause "Hello, Krillin." "Hey, Mrs. Savington?" Krillin laughed. He'd just succeeded in getting the yarn off. "Excuse me?!" Mrs. Savington's voice exploded out of the small metallic box. "How dare you say 'hey' to your employer. Why, I thought you were a polite young man! That's the problem with young people-" This went on for quite some time and might have gone on for even longer if Krillin hadn' jumped in when she paused for breadth. "Mrs. Savington did you do anything to Mr. Snookum's cradle after you came back?" he got out as fast as he could. Mrs. Savington stopped mid sentence. "No I don't believe I have, no." she answered after careful thought. "So the ladder/step thingy was up when you found out Mr. Snookums was missing?" Krillin asked. "Correct," Mrs. Savington answered truthfully. "And none of the staff were there before or after you left?" "No," Mrs. Savington's voice had changed pitches. She had just realized what Krillin was getting at. "You don't think-" "Well, Mr. Snookums can't close it himself can he?" "No," Mrs. Savington sounded frantic. "Oh someone's kidnapped my dear Mr. Snookums!" "Yup," mumbled Krillin. "And I think I just might know who." |

Susan walked into the living room, beaming. The last few days without having to watch her aunt obsess over that stupid cat had done her some good. No, come look at what Mr. Snookums did or isn't this just the cutest outfit. It was heaven. Well, almost heaven. That crazy old bat had just substituted showcasing the cat with sessions of hysterical crying. But you can't have everything in life. Settle for what you can get. Susan, stopped. Something was different. Her aunt wasn't crying. Susan saw her standing by the door, laughing with that horrible bald man. "Told you I'd find him," Krillin said cheerfully. "I always get the job done." "Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Kulilin," Mrs Savington smiled through tears. She was holding a black figure in her arms. "I've finally got my Mr. Snookums back." And there the stupid cat was. Dressed up and in her arms. But how? wondered Susan. The alarm never went off! I should have known the moment he got out. She raced up the steps to her private room. There's just no way. None! Kami, a thought had occurred to her. if she knows I was behind this I'll be disinherited. No, won't let it happen. Susan touched a nook in the wall, a small compartment opened. I'll get rid of the evidence. I'll plant it on some one else. She'll have to- Mr. Snookums was exactly as she had left him. "What-" "A-HAH!" Susan spun on her heels to see Krillin and Mrs Savington with identical grins pointing at her. "Caught red handed!" No! How could she have been this stupid. "But-" Susan starred at the cat in Mrs. Savington's arms. Krillin gave a laugh and touched his nose (or the spot where it should be anyway). The cat suddenly changed into a small pig with stubby legs. "Fooled ya!" "Thanks, Oolong," the bald man said. "Thank you for keeping your wife from killin' me," returned the pig. "Next time don't try to videotape her in the shower," and the two midgets laughed. All the while Mrs. Savington watched her niece. "Mr. Snookum's, if you please," and she extended her arms. Susan walked up to her and handed the cat over. Her face would have made a professional poker player jealous. Caressing the cat, Mrs. Savington turned her eyes to the kidnapper. "Go to your room. I'll deal with you shortly." Susan walked out of the room and down the hall. She was well out of sight when they heard a scream of frustration. Mrs. Savington looked down at her employee. "Thank you," she said through misty eyes, "I never would have thought-" "Don't worry about," said Krillin holding up a hand. "It's what your paying me for, right?" "Yes, of course. Here is you reward." ------------------------- Quest complete. |
