The Great Shriner Caper Chapter 3

Chapter 3


Chernobyl, Kat, and Sandy rode to the coven, of which Damien, Kat, and Sandy were members, along with ten others.

Some of the members awoke with a start when Chernobyl nearly broke down the door getting in.

"What's wrong?" the 'high preist' [sic] of the coven, Damien's brother Lucifer, asked.

"Something about Tokky," Kat answered as he whizzed by without hearing.

"Who's Tokky?" Lucifer asked the other coven members, who could only shrug and shake their heads.

Chernobyl burst into Damien's room. Damien snapped awake and gazed at Chernobyl.

"What is it?" Dami [sic] asked, too surprised to be angry at [sic] Chernobyl for entering his room.

"It's--" Choby started, but a poster of MC Hammer fell down on his head. He grabbed at it, but Dami [sic] pulled it away from him and said, "You can't touch this."

"Very funny," Choby snarled.

"Hammer, don't hurt me!" Dami [sic] said in a squeaky voice.

"C'mon, Dami, stop making Hammer jokes already! Tokky's gone!"

"Have you seen him?"

"DAMIEN!!"

"Sorry, I had to say it!" Dami [sic] laughed. "Now, you got any proof?"

"His house is proof enough." Choby sat down and put his head in his hands. "He should'nt've [sic] trusted me last night! I was so stupid to let him go and not even check on him! He could be dead now for all I know!"

Dami's [sic] ears pricked up, hearing the doorbell.

"Chernobyl!" Lucifer called. "It's for you!"

Choby sighed and left.

"Who is it?" he asked Luce [sic].

"Some friends of yours. They're outside."

Chernobyl went outside. To his surprise, he saw all of the other Shriners from Al Ambalahalah. Xavier, the cat who had driven them there in the old ambulance (he was also the one who Dami [sic] had talked to) stepped forward with a paper. [Note--comma missing after the parentheses.]

"Sandy told us the news," he said. "So we wrote this up. Read it."

Choby took the paper. It read, 'We the Shriners of the Temple Al Ambalahalah have claimed that, in the absense [sic] of Tokky, the Grand Pooh-Bah of the Temple, Chernobyl Cat will take his place as Grand Pooh-Bah'. Underneath these words was a list of their names. The Masons had agreed, also.

"Aw, I can't do this," Choby said.

"Why not?" Xavier asked.

"Because," Choby stuttered. "Because...because we're gonna find Tokky! Whatever it takes, we'll find him!"
