Trapper Mystery P1: Clues!

In the last two chapters, you know that Fidget was put in a bottle surrounded by traps, but someone mysteriously pointed the traps at the bottle, which was told by Eve. I decided to have the weapons surrounding the bottle without anyone noticing, since Eve didn't turn the weapons against him. Enjoy!

Chapter 24: Trapper Mystery P1: Clues!

The next day, Fidget told his friends he was going to the queen to admit his wrongs. At Buckingham Palace, he confessed the crimes he made to the queen and in spite of the ordeal the queen had been through when he carried her to the cat, she listened intently. "You can start by returning the uniforms, gears, and tools you've stolen from the toy shop to their rightful places."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Fidget said, bowing respectfully and he started on his way to find the stolen items.

Behind the curtains where Flaversham was controlling the mechanical queen against his will and where Fidget and his "friends" were tied up, he found the uniforms. Then he saw ropes being detangled. Someone must've broken free! Could this be his "friends" who escaped? If so, he must tell the queen and Basil about a clue he discovered right after he finished returning what was stolen.

The male bat went over to Her Majesty to report the news. He cleared his throat. "Excuse me, the ropes were broken and the uniforms have been removed," he said and he led the way.

The queen gasped as she saw what Fidget was talking about. "Goodness gracious!" she exclaimed, "But Basil would be at least grateful that you found a clue. I suggest you leave those uniforms and ropes here as evidence. You did a great job."

Fidget bowed respectfully once more and returned to his work.

...

The male bat attached the gears onto the mechanical toys and dressed up the toy soldiers. When day turned to night, he finished his task, he sighed, thinking of Eve since she and the others let him in again. Oh, how he wished she were here right now, praising him for his good deeds. Feeling lonely, he sang a song to himself.

Come out, moon.

Come out, wishing star.

Come out, come out...

Wherever you are.

He walked out of the toy shop as he continued.

I'm out here in the dark,

All alone and wide awake.

Come and find me.

Eve, thinking of Fidget, started to feel lonesome, as well, so she sang her part.

I'm empty and I'm cold

And my heart's about to break.

Come and find me.

Then both of them sang together.

I need you to come here and find me

Because without you I'm totally lost.

Fidget sighed.

I've hung a wish on every star.

It hasn't done much good so far.

He wrapped himself in his wings.

I can only dream of you.

Although the love bats were apart at the moment, they did another duet.

Wherever you are!

"Guys, I'm worried about Fidget!" Eve said, "We haven't seen him all day and we must find him!"
