[glow=red,2,300]Chapter Twenty-Two[/glow]
Zaria's orange eyes looked over the check before she shrugged and said, "I have the money."
"Where?" Eddie asked.
With a snap, money appeared in her hand. She gave it to Eddie.
"Great," he muttered, "So much for thinking your a suspect."
Zaria smirked. She then frowned and seemed to think for a minute. "I know someone who might be related to all this," she said, "His name's Craig and he lives down in the West part of Toontown."
"Can you take us?" Psycho asked, gaining a slap in the back of the head from Smart Guy.
"Sure,
mien herrlich Psycho." she smiled, batting her eyelashes at him before she snapped her hands.
Jazz looked around and whispered, "I don't like snap travel," to Cyril. The fox nodded, but his emerald eyes seem distant.
They entered a bar. Smoke filled the room while all kinds of Toons looked up. They then looked back down and did what they were originally doing. Zaria turned to Eddie and said, "Follow me. Craig will be up top right now."
As they came closer to the roof, Jazz blinked at the voice that rang into her ears.
"I don't care that he ran away! Find him!" a slam was followed with a "Yelp!"
Zaria opened the door and Jazz blinked. Standing near a window was a fox. His fur was dark red while his eyes were golden. He wore a long black trenchcoat over him, covering him completly while a cowboy hat covered his head. He looked up at them and asked in a gruff voice, "What do you want?"
"Are you Craig?" Eddie asked.
"No, I'm the tooth fairy." Craig glared.
Eddie ignored him and was about to say something, but Craig interuppted him. "Cyril? Is that you? Get out here!"
Jazz stared at Cyril, shocked. The fox looked down and walked over to Craig, saying, "Hi, bro."
"Duh, he's your brother?" Stupid asked.
"No, duh, Captian Obvious." Craig growled.
"Look, cowboy, we don't time for this. Tell us what you know about Gregory Smith." Eddie commanded.
"No, you look, I run the joint here and I really don't like you guys," as he said that, a large gorilla appeared, "Joe, show them the door."
With that, Joe, who could have been Bongo's brother for all Jazz knew, grabbed them and pushed them out. Jazz stared at the door while Olly said things that don't need to be mentioned to Joe.

Inside the room, with Joe guard, Craig sat at the desk. He took a cigar and lit it as he asked, "So, little bro, tell me what you got."
"On...what?" Cyril asked.
"On the Toon Patrol! How'd they come back?" he blew smoke in his face.
"Um......do I really have to answer?"
"What is wrong with you, Cyril!?" Craig stood up.
Cyril didn't answer.
"Look," Craig sighed, "All you were s'pose to do was get the ferret to like you. Give her gifts, take her out on dates, the works."
"I don't want to it anymore." Cyril said.
"Don't want to do it anymore! You little-" Craig stopped. He then smirked and laughed, saying, "Oh...I get it. The little ferret's gotten to you. This is perfect."
Cyril shrank in his seat. "Why do you care?"
"Cyril, did you forget the orders from MC? We find info on Toon Patrol, we become free." he said.
"Well...I don't want to do it anymore." Cyril said.
"Oh, you'll do it."
A black fog filled the room and Joe ran out. A dark hooded figure appeared and pointed a claw hand at Cyril, "We made a deal."
"I don't care." the young fox said.
"You'd rather live your life in Hell with your other brothers then do this one job!?!?" Craig yelled.
"Shut up!" The figure slapped Craig. It turned to Cyril and said, "Now, Cyril, I'll make a deal."
He walked over to Cyril and got an orb out. Seconds later, a picture of Jazz showed.
"This orb is what keeps every angel's wings. If I drop it, then guess what? Jazz will die." it said.
"Angel?" Craig asked.
"No!" Cyril yelled.
"Then do your job!" it yelled.
With that, a flash appeared and the room was clear. Cyril glared at Craig before he ran out.
