Q's Bayou Adventure Pt. 4

Reinvigorated by the moonshine, Evinrude flew a few laps around the tiny shack before simmering down a bit. Q explained his situation to Evinrude, and the bug quickly flew off, eager to help the owl who saved him from the bats find the car.

Meanwhile, back in the cave, Bernard and Bianca have made a breakthrough! While digging through the dirt, they found a pirate's skeleton. Within its skull was the Devil's Eye diamond, and although both the mice and Penny had tried to pry it loose, the diamond was wedged in that skull pretty good. The tide was beginning to rise to the point Penny had to put the Rescuers on her shoulders so they wouldn't drown. Reaching down into the water, she dislodged the skull from the skeleton and went to the bucket that was waiting for her. Yelling up that she had the diamond, Mr. Snoops and Medusa pulled the rope and the girl out of the cave.

"My diamond! Oh my diamond! It is so beautiful! And it's all mine! MINE!" Medusa laughed as she admired her diamond, ignoring Penny as she tried to make a getaway.

"M-Medusa, that girl is escaping!" Mr. Snoops chased after Penny. "Wait, why do we need the girl anymore?"

Medusa looked at Mr. Snoops. " You are quite right. We don't need her... Feed to her Brutus and Nero."

"THE ALLIGATORS?!?! We can't go and feed her to your pets! That's... That's..."

"What, Mr. Snoops? What is it?"

Medusa leaned in close to Mr. Snoops, anger clearly in her eyes. Mr. Snoops stuttered out an answer, "T-that's v-very good. They h-haven't eaten s-since last night."

Snoops scurries back to the boat, undoing the leashes of Medusa's two pet alligators.

"N-now get her, you two.NOT ME! NOT ME! THE LITTLE GIRL!"

Mr. Snoops ran into the boat and blocked the door as the gators tried to eat him, but after they could no longer reach him, they decided to pursue Penny and the Rescuers.

Q and Evinrude had just located the car when they heard Mr. Snoops ordering the alligators around. Q made a mental note of where it was and followed Evinrude towards the scene of the screams. The two noticed the alligators and knew what they would have to do. To save the little girl and the Rescuers, they would have to find a way to stop the two gators.

Medusa was chasing after the girl as well, the diamond clutched tightly in her hands. The chase was going into the bayou's forest, right near Ellie Mae's shack.
