Mobster Falls

Chapter 17: Sneaky Angel

Mabel POV

I was singing on stage when I saw Ford entered with this other old man. They were holding something but I couldn't see it. I continue to sing and look for Dipper. Dipper didn't come with them. I wonder where he could be. I was done with my songs and everyone clap. I turn back, "I'll be right back Fisher." Fisher nod and then face the rest of the band, "five minutes fellas." I then went through the tables to Ford and the old man. They were sitting at a seat together, "Hello Ford, who is your friend?" I ask behind him.

Ford and the old man jumped, mainly Ford. "Um uh...Mabel! Um...this is Mcgucket." Mcgucket tip his hat, "Nice to meet ya'll doll!" Ford seems a bit nervous, "Yes, this is Mabel...my great niece."

Mcgucket grabs my hand and kissed it, "Nice singing doll! You are the bee's knees around here. I heard many things about you." I smiled, "Thanks." Then Mcgucket release me. I then face Ford, "Ford where's Dipper?"

"Oh! Uh...talking...with some other friends. Don't worry Mabel." Ford quickly replies.

Something was unsure about it. I nod my head. As I was doing that I saw this thing gleam in Ford's coat. I saw it...it was my mirror. "Ford! You found it!" I gasp as I reach in and pulled out the mirror. "Mabel! No!" Ford grabs my hand. I was startle. His grip was so tight and I could feel him shaken. "Ford." I gasp. Then everything seems to be on a standstill, just staring at each other's eyes. "Ford let go of me." I ordered, it was in a shock and small voice but I made sure my point was clear, "Give me my mirror. Did you take it?"

Ford went pale, "Ah...no...I didn't take it."

"Who then? Dipper? Are you trying to cover for him?" I ask.

Ford shook his head slowly, "No....Mabel just give me the mirror."

I yank my hand but Ford still held tight, "Ford let go! It's my mirror. My mother gave it to me. You can't just take it for me. Ford I need it."

"M-Mabel please..."

"Please what?" I question. I was running out of time and patience. Ford took my mirror and now he isn't giving it back. Ford opened his mouth but then close it again and quickly. Then Ford release me. "Thank you." I said coldly but pleasant. Then I walked away with my mirror tightly around my hand. I then headed to my dressing room. I close the door and sat in my seat in relief. Relief to sit down and relief to have the mirror.

"Mabel!" A voice called out. It sounded like Dipper.

"Dipper?" I muttered.

"Yes Mabel! It's me! Mabel down in the mirror!"

"What?"

"The mirror!"

I raise the mirror and looked in it and gasp, dropping the mirror to the ground. Luckily it landed on its back and didn't break. "Ouch!" Dipper mutters, "Mabel! Don't do that!"

I was shaken up. Dipper was in my mirror! "D-Dipper?" I question.

"Yes! Mabel it's me!" Dipper pleaded. I reach down and picked up the mirror, "H-How are you in there?" Dipper sighs sadly, "It's a long story Mabel. I got into this mess with Bill's gang."

"Wait what? Bill? Like in William Cipher? Ford's old gang?" I question.

Dipper nod, "Yes. You see Bill is dead right....well his left hand man Gideon and some of his friends did something to me that ended up having Bill come back to life and living in my body. At first we were sharing and he went in to help me...with fights and gambling."

"Wait so that one night, that was Bill. That game was Bill and the kidnapping thing was Bill also?"

Dipper nod, "Yes. Then...Bill kicked me out and trapped me in your mirror. Mabel he is up to something big."
