Howling Halloween Ⅱ: Harrowing Halloween

Hook and Ben

Hook and Ben went to the model train area, which was in the library of the mansion. Trains ran every which way, crossing the floor and going on bridges over the room. Ben and Hook perused the train area for almost an hour and saw some fancy trains, but got a little bored when they realized that none of them were for sale. "Let's see the antique toys."

Just as they were walking down the stairs, they noticed a man in a hat talking to Pierre, Patricia and Dark Sky. "That's weird," said Ben. "Those guys just kinda disappeared."

"Yeah, let's take a closer look," Hook said.

They followed the man into the antique toys area, but when they got their, they couldn't see him. "I think he gave us the slip," Hook said.

"You're right," Ben said, as he looked around. "Well, should we check out the toys?"

"Okay."

They walked over to some old tin toys from the 1950s.

"These are wicked." Ben said. There were wind-up cars, wind-up planes, little boats that shot little corks, and other fun old-fashioned toys. Ben noticed one interesting toy in particular.

"Hey, look, Hook. It's a Piggy Cook!" Ben said, holding up a wind up toy where a pig cooks a piece of meat, and when the pig flips it over, the meat becomes a fried egg.

"Cool, but look! It's a Little BoPeep doll!" Hook said, holding up a beautiful doll with a pink an white dress and a crook.

"How much for these two dolls?" Ben asks.

"Oh these are really special collector's items," The stall woman said. She looked at Ben and Hook. "But you guys are special collectors. Tell you what. I'll give you the pair for $15."

"Crap, I only have $11," said Ben.

"I have $4 Marie gave me," Hook said. "That makes $15 exactly!"

They bought the dolls and both of them noticed a twinkle in the dolls eyes. Just as they were making their way to the foyer, they saw the man in the hat chasing Jib and Jab through the antique section! Bens dolls meat flipped on its own and Ben almost fell over from the sight. As he did, his leg stuck out and the man in the hat caught it and tripped! He noticed Jib and Jab slip under a table right at that moment.

"Woah, did you see that?" Ben said.

"Uh huh, yes I did," Hook said with her mouth agape.

"Let's get out of here before the man notices us!" Just as Ben said that he saw Lily and Elly running into the room. "Let's meet them!"
