Chapter 5 - Chapter 05

"Come here little elephant. We don't want to hurt you. Just…."

"He's escaping!!!!!"

"CATCH HIM!!!!"

"Oof...Ooof….Ooof."

"Don't dogpile on me. Get the elephant. GET THE ELEPHANT!!! He's running away."

*Boom*

"Excuse me. You're blocking the entrance. We have to..."

"Let him run."

"But sir. The boss wants him. He specifically said."

"I know what he said. He'll be pleased with all the other animals. Don't you worry. Now come on. Leave no tracks. We were never here."

"Yes sir."

"Hurry up!!! I see lights coming. Move…..move…..move!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*VROOM*

"HEY!!! HEY!!! GET BACK HERE WITH MY ANIMALS. DON'T YOU DARE..."

"Anela!!!"

"Not now, Hezekiah."

"ANELA!!!!!!!!"

"WHAT?"

"I found a note amidst all the rubble. It's from Bones."

"Open it. What does it say?"

*Shiiizeert*

TO: THE FIRESTARTERS

FROM: Valley of the Bones

"Dear Anela, I'm sorry that I could not convince you to part with any of your fine friends. Knowing that I could not buy just one, my mind was troubled on the way home. So, I did the next best thing. Here is a check that should cover the expense of all the animals plus a bigger tent and pens. I recommend ones that lock instead of latch. Keys are much harder to lose." :)

-Your friend

Bones

"See, it was him. I can guarantee it. He did say our animals would look a lot better in his pens!!!! He probably has them there right now as we speak. We just need to find out where."

"Now, now. Don't jump to conclusions, Hez. Maybe there is an explanation to all of this."

"Is a one million dollar check enough proof for you?"
