Episode 4: Hennery to the Rescue?!?

When we last saw our heroes, all hope seemed to have been lost, with the Bat-Go-Cart demolished, and Batspork gone…

Grouse awakens the next day, still in the remnants of the Bat-Go-Cart, to find Batspork missing. He immediately starts running to town, to head to the police station.

The moment he arrives, he asks to see Commissioner Gregson in his office. As he rushes in to the commissioner’s office, he blurts, “Batspork was kidnapped, the Bat-Go-Cart was totaled, and I need to borrow a phone in private!”

Startled by this sudden rush of foul news, Gregson mutters, “A phone- of course,” and gestures towards his phone. He then steps out of the room to absorb the news.

As the door closes, Richie dials the number to Walls Manor. The phone rings three times, when Hennery answers.

“Walls Manor, this is Hennery Lincoln, with whom am I speaking?” are his words.

“Hennery, it’s Richie. Geoff’s been kidnapped, and our ride was destroyed. I need you to put of the first costume you can find and pick me up in the Bat-Hot-Air-Balloon. Hurry!” Richie urgently says.

“Right away master Green,” Hennery says, before hanging up the phone.

Shortly afterward, Richie spots the balloon from the roof of the police building. When it gets above the building, a rope ladder falls from it and he climbs up into it. Upon entering the basket, he finds Hennery dressed as the mad hatter from Alice in Wonderland.

“What sort of costume is that?” he asks.

Hennery says, “The first one I could find.”

Meanwhile, in the prop house of the abandoned Emoswine Movie Lot, Batspork slowly begins to regain consciousness. As everything comes into focus, he notices a plastic spork in a white suit. The spork is also wearing a pair of white rabbit ears and holding a pocket-watch.

The spork in the suit walks towards Batspork, and says, “Oh, my dear bat-spork-dork, I’m awfully late, you know.”

What sort of sinister plot could he have in mind for Batspork? Does Grouse have more reasons to worry about this than we realize? The answer to these questions and more next week — same Spork-time, same Spork-url!
