Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 5

Chapter 52: Gay Swans

"Alright," T-bag put the van into park in a random parking lot in New Orleans. It was some local bar, and yes, they did need to pay for parking. Vic got out his bag of quarters and walked out to handle that as T-bag continued. "No more playing games! This entire trip has been a pain in my ass and we're fucking ending it! We are finding the entire Glomsquad today and if we don't then that means punishment for all of you! Got it?!"

Dingles raised his hand.

"Goddamnit! What, Dingles?!"

"So, um, punishment as in time out or...?"

T-bag ran a hand down his face. "Punishment as in you're going to lose a fucking hand! Or your life!"

"Oh..." Dingles looked down at his hand. "I kinda need both of my hands to play Among Us, and my life, so I'll try my best to be a top tier gang member today."

T-bag ignored that. "Heidi, you're in charge of searching for that fucking dweeb chicken. That's a one man job." What an insult to Gyro. Poor guy. "As for Tina and Dingles, you two will search for Mark and the robots. Me and Vic will do the same but in a different part of the city. We have a lot of space to cover."

C-Note raised his hand.

"What?!"

"Um... what do I do?"

That actually made T-bag have to think for a moment. "Um... just chill at a bar or something. We don't need you."

"Oh... okay." C-Note didn't sound too happy, but he wasn't about to argue with someone as scary as T-bag.

"Heidi..."

Heidi gulped and looked up at T-bag.

"Yeah?"

"If Mark isn't in this city, this whole deal we have going on is off. And you're dead meat. Remember that." T-bag spat. "Because right now, this is starting to feel like a waste of time."

With that, he got out of the car along with everyone else, slamming the door.

Heidi turned to Gloria who was still tied up and was going to be staying in the van during all of this. It was pretty hot outside too.

"Okay so um... you know when we were talking about stopping my gang? I think- I think I want to try to get on your friends' side... so they can help us." Heidi whispered. "But on one condition. You have to promise you'll stay with me after this. You're all I have and I don't want to lose you." Her tone turned bitter, proving she wasn't exactly sane quite yet. She still wasn't the Heidi Gloria knew in the other timeline. "You don't like me. Fine. But just promise me you'll stay. If you do then I'll be on your side."

"I promise I'll stay with you. When this is all over, move to Duckburg with us. I'll help you find a new job and an apartment. Not only will you have me, but you'll have all of my friends as well." Gloria laughed "As stupid as it may sound, you're part of the Glomsquad now! I plan on making us club jackets someday."

Heidi didn't really know what to say about the whole jacket thing so she ignored it. "Yeah, okay. I'll be back soon so you won't die from the heat. Promise." She stepped out of the vehicle and closed the door, cracking the window just a bit for Gloria.

Did Heidi know where she was going? Absolutely fucking not. She had to find one man in an entire city; and this specific man didn't have social media. After doing research, she decided to check out tourist spots. If the Glomsquad was treating this whole 'being on the run' thing like a vacation, then that's what they would be doing.

No sign of a chicken at Jackson Square.

There were a few chickens at Audubon zoo, but none of them were scrawny losers.
