'Where is she?' Drystan thought after tossing his fifth cigar at the ground. Its been a week and still no sign of Raven not even Grandma Mama cant reach her. Drystan went inside the hotel room grabbing the keys to his car getting Mortica's attention. "Where are you going?" Said Mortica seated in the bed with Wednesday and Pugsley. "Im gonna go see Raven's family. Thing come with me." Said Drystan walking out. He got in driving to the neighborhood pulling over to the side in front of an open house three blocks away. Getting out pulled his hoodie up with Thing inside and walked down to the neighborhood looking around until he got to Ravens home. He walked up the porch and rang the doorbell as Charlie answered it smiling until she looked disgusted seeing him and about to slam the doof but Drystan stopped it with his foot. "What do you want freak?" Said Charlie opening the door again but not enough to see inside. "My Raven. Where is she?" Said Drystan. "Not here. She mustve ran away from her mistake of dating you." Said Charlie. "I know that bastard of a family did something to her." Drystan pushing himself in while Thing separated himself to search around. "Now if you value your pathetic life. Then tell me where she is and i can go before i can show you the real meaning of the word Hell." He says getting to closer amd closer to making Charlie fall back into the couch. "Not if my dad says anything about it. Shes not here so get the fuck out before i call the cops for trespassing. Besides your family is on a restraining order coming in the mail soon." Said Charlie smirking. "We'll see." Said Drystan walking out. He pulled out a joint from his inner pocket ready to light it until Thing snapped his fingers pointing to the backyard. Drystan pu the joint away sneaking to the backyard looking around spotting a locked tool shed. He scoffed walking towards it until the backdoor opened making jump over the fence to the other backyard. "Hello?" Said Richard looking around and looked in the other backyard seeing nothing but a dirty yard with a mucky green swimming pool. He turned back going to the shed with a set off keys and unlocked it while Drystan peeked his head over the fence slowly. Drystan spotted some actual tools inside like a lawnmower and other tools on their shelf until his eyes landed on a chain moving around. "Shut up! Be lucky that your alive. For now." Said Richard grabbing his tool belt and stepped out as a box of nails fell out. He kneeled down picking them up as Drystan saw Raven's matted hair and dirty gagged face with dried blood muffling seeing him then rolled into a corner as Richard looked at her. "Now you're fucking scared of me. Good. I should've had your dumb mother abort you. Now be nice and shut the fuck up." Said Richard shutting the door and locking it. He looked back to the fence seeing nothing and headed back as Maggie was calling him.

Drystan jumped over the fence hauling ass to the front but casually walked with Thing crawling up to his hoodie. He got into his car and speed off to the motel hitting a possum once he parked. Grandma Mama went over to pick up by the tail and and went inside with Drystan and Thing. "Did you find her?" Said Gomez seeing him upset. "Those bastards have her chained and gagged in a tool shed. She's a mess with dried blood on her face." Said Drystan. He sat at the table and pulled out his pocket knife throwing it into the table and pulled it out then did again. "Dear have you done anything about it?" Said Morticia. "we are going to have a restraining order in the mail soon. That's what Bimbo Barbie told me." Said Drystan. "Maybe Mama can create a new curse or send demons to them." Said Mortica. "Mom. They're practically starving her and will do much worse." Said Drystan. "I can clearly see it from her slight sunken baggy eyes and cheeks bones sticking out like a corpse." He says. "I should've brought my fire ants." Said Puglsey. "Or trap them in house with hornets." Said Wednesday. "Both sound nice." Said Drystan. He then looked at the phone near Gomez who was boredly watching TV. Drystan got up and began taking it out making a call clearing his throat. "Emergency service. How can we help you?" Said a woman. "Yes. I would like inform a disturbing scene I witnessed recently." Said Drystan in a husky British accent. "What kind of scene sir?" Said the woman. "I was minding my business in my backyard and heard a strange sound on the otherside of my fence. I took a peek to see a man standing in his tool shed with a teenager chained and gagged." Said Drystan. "A teenager chained and Gagged in a tool shed. Am I hearing that correctly?" Said the woman. "Yes. She looked horrible and has a type of head injury from the dried blood on her face." Said Drystan. "I'll have the police check it out. What's the address?" Said the woman. "No. That's a terrible idea if the people saw the authority in their neighborhood." Said Drystan. He then gave the address to the neighborhood and asked them to not to say anything about this call. Drystan put the phone back as Wednesday and Puglsey we're by the window looking at him. "If she lives then we all join in to torture her family once have our home back." Said said Drystan. "Agreed." Said Wednesday. She then heard a bunch of girls screaming outside and looked outside seeing Diablo growling and attempting to attack the girl who want to pet him. "It's Diablo." Said Wednesday opening the door. She walked towards him and picked him up walking back to the motel room. Diablo meowed rubbing himself against her and looked around. He then meowed loudly at Drystan until a head of possum distracted him and began playing with it like a kitten.

After two hours Richard banged on the door on the Addams house as Tully answered. "What now?" Said Tully as Richard handed a bruised up Raven in his arms. "The cops showed and I don't care what you do to this shit. My family are leaving." Said Richard walking away. "Raven?" Said Fester seeing her. "Good take her where we don't have to see her." Said Tully handing her to Fester. Raven hissed in pain holding her right wrist once Fester held her in his arms. She looked around confused until her eyes landed on Fester smiling a little to see him before passing out. "Gordan!" Said Schloss from the dining table. Fester carried Raven upstairs to Drystan's room placing her on the bed. He then closed the door and went downstairs to Schloss who was calling him again. "Where were you? Did you find the vault?" Said Schloss. "No mother. I was looking for other ways to find it." Said Fester. "What about that red fake girl?" Said Schloss. "I haven't been around her that much. She only stays with dark haired brat." Said Fester. "Did Richard come by? I thought we give him twenty percent of the money and frame him for the scam." Said Schloss. "He said something about moving." Said Fester. "I don't care. More money for us." Said Schloss. "Anyways lets go search the vault again." Said Schloss. Fester sighed going to the library opening the passage like before with Tully and Schloss. He looked at the handles and picked a random one making them get thrown out. After trying again and again until Fester snuck into Drystan's room to check on Raven. He looked at her injuries seeing her right worst dark purple mixed black bruise, black eye on the right, cut on the bridge of the nose and a busted lip. Fester went to his bathroom to grab the medical supplies and snuck back in setting them on the floor.
