Gomez awoke excited for the day as usual. He did his first activities of the day which included checkers with thing and combing his hard to style hair. Then he was off to wake his wife,
he walked in to the dark bedroom and leaned his gentle body over the bed as he did every morning. But as he leaned over he noticed that she was gone! The aftermath had finally kicked in. Gomez felt a sharp pain in his thighs Mortica was gone......
But he was now more determined than ever to find her. He walked out slamming the door and after running down the stairs he rang the family bell. Everyone showed up as quick as five seconds leaving Gomez barely any time to take a breath. Mama came first with Pubert in hands following her would be Wensday and Pugsley then Fester arrived late and last.
"Alright!" Gomez's hands clasped together. "How are we going to find Tish?"
"We could..... Look in the graveyard?" Suggested Pugsley. Wensday smacked him in the back of the head.
"No!" Was Gomez's simple response.
"We could..... Make the police to a world wide search?" Suggested Fester "She could have run away!"
"Like she would run away from dad!" Wensday responded sarcastically.
Gomez nodded in agreement bored with the conversation but worried about Mortica the same time.
"We could..... Finish this conversation after lunch?" Mama suggested walking to the kitchen
Gomez nodded "We will continue this after lunch!" He finished following mama "I need protein for my aching heart!"
............................................................"We have tried every torture weapon in here and the only thing that actually seems to be hurting you is not eating for almost two days!" The doctor yelled in anger.
"And don't forget my aching heart!" Yelled Mortica through a spiked coffin.
"I think I'm done for today" the doctor exclaimed tired and confused. "But tomorrow my surprise torture toy will be ready, goodnight!" She said
Before leaving. Mortica was left alone agian, but this time in the enclosed box.
She felt saddened as heart ached for Gomez and the children. She could only wonder and hope that they would find her. For now she got comfortable between two spikes and went to bed.
.............................................................Okay so the whole after lunch this was forgotten and Gomez only realized it at bedtime when his wife was unpresent. He tossed and turned throughout the night in his dream plans to save Mortica all failed. In the morning he sprung downstairs to take early action.
"Now!" He said to the broken family. "What are we going to do to find Mortica?!"
The room was agian silent but finally Fester spoke up.
"She was supposed to be with my fake mother?" He said "So that could only mean she's with her now!"
Gomez slapped Fester on the back in delight
"We have a lead!" He said excited. "Mama can you do a location spell to find where the house is?" He asked quickly but Fester agian quickly interrupted.
"I lived with her for a long time remember Gomez?" He asked. Gomez nodded, "So I know the place inside and out!"
"Oh Fester!" Said Gomez thinking of what the rescue would be like." Wensday, Thing grab our coats! We're going to save Mortica!"
............................................................Almost 3 days since Mortica had eaten was starting to get to her. And as it did her heart got weaker as well. It needed Gomez, the children and the rest of the family to have the desire to beat. Without them she just felt like giving into death.
She didn't care when the doctor threatened her with a saw blade, didn't even show any emotion. And by the end of her long day she was starting to question if she would ever see her true love agian? If they would ever walk through the graveyard agian was questionable. Not to mention if his lips would ever touch hers, the forced and hard way she loved.
Now sitting on a metal table from earlier with her hands strapped to the four corners, her heart beaded slowly as she knew her days were numbered.
.............................................................
The plan for Mortica's rescue was complicated but it would work. Everyone in the Addams family played their part including Lurch to assist in finding her. Fester was the navigator getting everyone into the house
and out. Mama was the distraction in case the doctor had any friends to fight off. Wensday and Pugsley were in charge of bringing all the weapons needed, and assisting their father in the final battle with the doctor. Lurch's job was to get the bedroom ready for Mortica's arrival, this was the hardest job if all to do.
"Are we ready?" Asked Gomez opening the door to the new night. (Hey! It takes along time to create a rescue plan.) Anyway everyone quickly grabbed their things and left for the car. But Gomez had to stop for a moment before stepping in. He hoped that Mortica was okay and that tonight he would bring her home in this car. Then he stepped in for the final battle was about to begin.
