  Tony fell flat onto the floor, whoever had just knocked him out was now trying to get away with the unconscious wolf without raising suspicion. Hedgehog and Oscar were not too far. Oscar looked at the blur of the man and poked Hedgehog. "What's going on over there"? Oscar asked Hedgehog. She just stared and shrugged. Oscar had a weird feeling about that dude though.

Oscar and Hedgehog carefully stalked the man to wherever he was going. They saw the man holding a big trash bag. Oscar felt he wouldn't like the contents of that bag of trash. He kept thinking of worst case scenarios. "I wish Tony was here with us, a Detective like him could help make me a bit more comfortable, maybe even Hawk, though he still creeps me out". Oscar looked forward to the person carrying the bag. The stranger kept lugging the bag deeper in the woods.

The man stopped at an old abandoned cabin in the darker parts of the island's woods. Oscar and Hedgehog followed the stranger in the house as stealthily as they could be. They took cover by some sofas, The man dropped the bag and brought Tony out of the bag. Oscar gasped and wanted to make a noise. Hedgehog covered his mouth before he gave away their spot. They scooched further into the back of the sofas and couch.

Tony regained consciousness and got to his feet. He noticed noise from behind the couch and went to investigate. He saw both Hedgehog and Oscar and was about to ask why they were here but didn't wish to alert the kidnapper of their position. Tony sat down on the couch and thought of a way out. He went to thinking about who the person who kidnapped him was. Tony got up and looked at the television that was in front of him. "Heh, at least my kidnapper doesn't wanna kill me of boredom".

Tony went towards the window and looked for any way out. He ushered Oscar and Hedgehog to get up since the person was out of the house. Tony told them he had an idea of how he was gonna get out of this mess. "I'm gonna remain here with someone, the other person will run back to the camp and alert Max and Hawk of our situation". Oscar volunteered to go alert Max and Hawk. Tony and Hedgehog sat down on the couch thinking of what to do if the man came back. Hedgehog got nervous and laid on Tony's arm for comfort.

Tony was about to put her in an embrace before he heard a door close. Tony stepped in front of Hedgehog to protect her. Someone in a Pig mask stepped into Tony's view. He looked harder at the wolf and then noticed the hedgehog behind him. The man with the mask remained silent for minutes. He then finally spoke up. "Care for something to drink"? Tony lowered his guard and nodded slowly. The masked stranger ushered them to a kitchen-like place.

The man poured in juice then handed them the drinks. They started to drink the juice the stranger handed them. Hedgehog started gagging and coughing. Tony and Hedgehog fell to the ground unconscious. Tony woke up chained next to Hedgehog. He looked around for any way out but couldn't find anything. Suddenly he heard footsteps coming into the room.

The Pig masked man walked in holding a Fire Axe. Hedgehog had just woken up and started to panic at the sight of the man. She tried to break free but had no luck. The man unlocked the chains and grabbed Hedgehog by the arm. She started to scream. Tony looked at the man in the mask dropping Hedgehog into her knees. She started tearing up looking at Tony. The man drove the Axe into her head, not pulling it out. Hedgehog fell to the floor with the Axe still in her head.

Tony let out a loud cry. He was about to cry when a loud bang knocked down the door. Hawk, Max, and Oscar came through. Max and Hawk apprehended the Pig-Man. Oscar got Tony out of his chains. He looked at the corpse of his girlfriend. Oscar looked at Tony and asked "Who's that Tony"? Tony looked at Oscar confused. "That's Hedgehog Oscar... That Bastard killed her". Oscar looked at Tony confused. "She's not dead dude... She's in the living room waiting for us".

Tony widened his eyes. "What"? "Yeah she's not dead dude". Tony gasped a sigh of relief. He looked at the corpse and asked "Then Who's that"? Max piped in "It's a fake Hedgehog, He used that to create an illusion you witnessed her murder, He did that to Hedgehog with you".

Tony looked at the Bat confused. The Pig-Man started laughing at Tony. Hawk stomped on the man's back, hissing "Shut Up".

Max put his hand on Tony's shoulder, "Let's get you back to Hedgehog". The four walked back to the living room. Tony saw Hedgehog in tears. She saw him and ran into his arms. "I thought you were dead" Tony laughed nervously. "So did I". Tony saw his deceased decoy. It had it's face ripped off and chest exposed with his ribcage open" They all headed back to camp to let Hedgehog and Tony to rest and calm down with the trauma they endured.

Hedgehog and Tony just laid up straight on Tony's cabin patio, Tony rubbing Hedgehog's arms to comfort her. Max, Hawk, and Oscar were reporting the cabin and Pig-Man to counselors.

Dinner time rolled around and everyone sat together to eat. Max, Hedgehog, Hawk, Oscar, Tony all walked home to Tony's cabin to all stay there for the night. Tony and Hedgehog fell asleep cuddled together in each others arms feeling safe in each other's embrace.
