Me, Bigby, Snow, and Crane were outside The Pudding N Pie. We were going to the street but a car pulled in. "What the hell?" I asked. We went another way and another car rolled up. The two blocked us. A woman in white and brown clothes with red hair walked out of one car as the Tweedles exited the other with shotguns. "Hi. Watcha got there?" The woman said. "It's come to our attention that you're attempting to claim what is the property of The Crooked Man."
"What do you want?" Bigby asked.
"That sack of flour. Crane."
"It wasn't my fault." Crane whimpered. Snow punched Crane in the gut. "Shut. Up." Snow ordered. I never seen Snow punch someone before. I knew she meant business but i never seen her punch someone before. She looked at the woman. "You're interfering with official Fabletown business. Now step aside." Snow demanded.
"I swear i didn't tell-" Crane started. I got fed up with it and punched him in the nose where Bigby hit. "Shut the hell UP!" I told Crane. "Or next time I'll kick your-"
"Tweedle Dee. What's the thing the mundies call me? My nickname." The woman asked.
"Bloody M-"
"Bloody Mary." The woman said cutting the Tweedle off.
"Crane is in custody. So move your car." Bigby told her. Bloody Mary stepped back. "Fuck it." She said. The Tweedles aimed their shotguns. "Shit!" Snow exclaimed as she grabbed my arm. Me, Snow, and Crane moved aside. Bigby wasn't as lucky. The Tweedles shot him down. He was still alive though. He rose up to his feet, he eyes red. The Tweedles kept shooting as Bigby approached them. His arms started to grow gray fur. He ripped through his shirt as the rest of his body grew gray fur. He was in werewolf form. He grabbed a cigarette machine and threw it at the Tweedles. Then he threw a dumpster at them. He grabbed Tweedle Dum and slammed him against a fan five times. Tweedle Dee shot at him. Bigby grabbed Dee and threw him at Mary. Bigby grabbed Dum and held him against the wall. "Fuck... you... Wolf..." Dum said as Bigby choked him. Bigby squeezed Dum's neck and tore his throat out. He killed Tweedle Dum. He looked at us. Me and Snow were shocked. We heard a gunshot. "URHG!" Bigby groaned. Mary shot Bigby. Bigby went down. "Bigby!" Snow exclaimed. Mary went to the car and pulled out The Woodsman's axe. What was she doing with that? Me and Snow stepped back. "Stop!" Snow yelled. I glared at Mary. "Just...take him. Take Crane."
"What?" I silently asked Snow. She looked at me. She was right. "Yeah. Crane's all yours." I told her. I grabbed Ichabod.
"Just get out of here!" Bigby groaned. We saw the car's window roll down and a hand came out. It was The Crooked Man. He waved his hand. "Crooked Man says it's okay." Mary said. I pushed Crane to Mary. Me and Snow looked at Bigby. "Between us, Crane's no killer. He couldn't stick a pig if his life depended on it." Mary said. "Unlike your boyfriend here." Mary stomped on Bigby's arm, breaking it. "Just take Crane and get out of here!!" I shouted at Mary. She smirked at me. "Cant wait to see what you can do." She told me. She turned around and walked to the car. "Out with the old, in with the new. Long live the queen." Mary said. The cars drove away. Bigby was out. Snow grabbed Bigby and groaned as she tried to pick him up. I grabbed his legs and Snow grabbed his arms. "We're gonna be dragging him a bit." Snow said.
"I'll go inside the Pudding N Pie. Call Swineheart." I told her as we started carrying Bigby to the front of the club.
