Criminal Plots/Eve & Clover

This chapter has similar elements to my other fanfic, Fidget and Eve.

Chapter 9: Criminal Plots/Eve & Clover

Eve brought Clover to her bedroom. "Don't worry, Clover, I'll be back," Eve assured her and closed her bedroom door. Then she locked it, in case Ratigan and Fidget went over there.

...

Ratigan opened Mr. Flaversham's prison door to see his project being built by the downcast toymaker. "Ah, Mr. Flaversham!" he said with an evil smile and laughed as he entered. He blocked the exit with his cape. "Allow me to present...your charming daughter and son!" He revealed the exit with his cape to display a bat with the toymaker's daughter and son, held captive.

Hiram stood up to see his daughter and adopted son. "Olivia! Andrew!"

"Father!" Olivia and Andrew cried, but when Fidget refused to let them go, they stomped on his foot.

"Ow!" Fidget yelped as he clutched onto his only foot, watching them flee. "My foot! My only foot!"

"Father!" Olivia said, crying tears of joy as she threw herself into her father's arms. "I thought we'd never find you!"

"Oh, there, there, there, my barins! I'm alright," Mr. Flaversham assured her as he consoled his crying daughter and son, "I was just so worried about my little children He hugged his daughter and son some more and thought of Clover. "But where's Clover?"

"Probably with Basil, Dawson, and Eve," Andrew answered, but little did he and Olivia know that Clover was already looking for them in the awful sewer.

"I'm sure she did her best to protect you," Hiram told her.

"She'll come back for us," Andrew said, trying to bring light into the atmosphere.

"Aww, how sweet!" Ratigan said sarcastically as he grabbed onto his tissue and pretended to cry, "Aww, I just love tearful reunions!" He faked drying his eyes.

The father, son, and daughter happily hugged, but their reunion was cut short when Ratigan grabbed Olivia and Andrew each by the hand. "Now, come along, my dears," Ratigan said.

"Oh, please! Please!" Olivia pleaded as she and Andrew ended up back with Fidget, pulling them away from their father. Ratigan covered Mr. Flaversham's mouth and ignored both his and Olivia's and Andrew's pleas. "Father!"

"Oh, please, Professor!" Hiram begged as Ratigan held him by the apron straps, sending him back to his work chair.

"Now, now, now! Fidget will take good care of them!" Ratigan feigned sympathy and chuckled before frowning. "That is as long as we have no further delays!" He set the toymaker down.

"Yes, I'll finish it!" Mr. Flaversham said, grabbing his wrench and other tools used to build the robot queen. "Please, don't hurt my children!"

"Remember," Ratigan warned, before leaving him alone and stuck his head out the door. "It must be ready TONIGHT!" He slammed the door shut.

Olivia and Andrew struggled to get out of Fidget's grasp as he pulled them over to an empty wine bottle as Fidget hummed. They screamed, kicked, and pounded him. "Stop!" she yelled fiercely as Fidget set Andrew down and she was picked up. "Let me go, you ugly old thing!" Fidget threw her in the bottle halfway and reached for the cork. Olivia kicked, but she couldn't free herself.

"Fidget! You heard Olivia! Let her go!" Eve scolded Fidget.

Andrew tried to pull Olivia out, but Fidget knocked him down.

"How would you feel if this was you? This should be you!"

Fidget ignored his girlfriend. "That ought to hold ya!" Fidget mocked, pushing the cork against Olivia's sitting spot.
