"Oh would you stop moping about in that cage? I promise, we'll return you as soon as Trixie and I get our paws on Snowball's latest invention," Gary growled upon hearing another sniffle from Gidget. Glancing over his shoulder, the beagle added, "And we're not treating you horribly! Think of yourself as an honorary prisoner of war!"
"Gary! We did it! It's there, Snowball's project is there!" Trixie's shrill voice shouted, announcing her presence. Both Gidget and Gary looked up as the former's imposter skipped into the hidden lair. Her tail wagging a million miles per hour, Trixie repeated, "Snowball's project is there! I heard him and Leonard talking, it sounds big!"
"Yes! I knew it! I knew he had something!" Gary howled in triumph. Holding his head high, the beagle went on, "Our plan for world domination is nearly upon us Trixie, I can feel it." Turning to his assistant, he led the white Pomeranian away as he stated, "Now, tell me everything. What are we expecting?"
"Well, I still don't know where his secret lab is but I have an idea on how to trick him into showing it..." Trixie's voice faded as she and Gary left for his office. That left Gidget alone in the main room. Backing away from the cage bars, the fluffy white Pomeranian laid down on the pillow provided to her. "Come on Maxie," she whimpered, "You have to find me, you have to. Don't fall for her tricks."
Just then, there was a small creaking noise.
