In the late afternoon that was slowly turning into evening, the three animals rented a silver car as Mizuki drove through the highway while Buster and Ash were sitting at the back to plan out how they're going to talk to Clay Calloway.

"Okay, Ash, what's the plan?" Buster questioned the porcupine girl.

"Alright, we're going to take this slow. Think of Clay as someone who would hide in bushes until you give him something he wants. There's gonna be something he wants."

"What does he want?"

Ash bit her lips. "That's the thing. What he wants was his wife back but I'm sure that we wouldn't be able to bring her back."

"Yeah, that's definitely not going to happen but...maybe there's a way we can help comfort him," Buster stated.

"Maybe," Ash said with a sigh.

"Guys, we're here," Mizuki informed as the silver car was parked into the hill with the bushes and the trees surrounding it.

The three animals got out of the car and headed through the bushes where they fought against the leaves just to part them and see a beautiful two-story house standing tall with a fence all around the property.

"There he is," Ash pointed at the lion fixing the motorcycle under the shade of the tree while the familiar mouse was sitting on the lion's shoulder to look over at what the lion was doing.

"Mike!" Buster called out, gaining the mouse's attention.

"Moonster!!" Mike shouted happily.

"Hold on, we're coming to you!" Buster yelled. "Mr. Calloway!"

"Go away!!" Clay barked back.

"At least, he's responsive," Ash muttered underneath her breath.

"Could you open the gate?!" Mizuki requested. "Please?!"

There was no answer as Mike glanced at Clay.

"Man, open the gate for them," Mike replied.

"No, you can go to them. Just squeeze through that fence," Clay stated with a sigh.

"Fine! We're coming to you!" Ash determined as the three animals walked over towards the fence since the iron gate was locked.

Clay glanced up while widening his eyes to find that the animals were inches away from touching the fence they were about to climb over as he stood up abruptly. "Wait! Don't touch that! That fence is an electric fence!"

"Wait, seriously?" Mike questioned with a brow raised.

Clay shrugged his shoulders. "Safety precaution."

Buster didn't hear what Clay said as he shrugged it off. "I'm sure he's just making it up."

"Buster, I don't think he—"

When Buster touched the fence, he's immediately electrocuted and pushed back from it with his hands burned.

"BUSTER!!!" Mizuki and Ash cried.

"MOONSTER!!" Mike shouted from Clay's shoulder.

Clay gave a deadpan stare at the three animals outside of his fence while turning to Mike slightly. "How dumb is your boss?"
