Little Lost Molly/ Chapter 2 of the Shade saga.

The next morning Rebecca smiled as she curled up next to her big furry pillow, as she held Molly in her lap. “Mommy.” Molly cooed as she curled up in Rebecca’s arms, getting Rebecca to smile as she slowly started to open her eyes, and realized that she didn’t own a furry pillow. As Rebecca opened her eyes to find Baloo fast asleep, she blushed slightly as she slowly sat up, to try not wake him, not really knowing what she would say if he did wake up. As she got off the couch and carried Molly to her room she tucked Molly in to let her get a little more rest, once she returned to the living room she looked at the piano and was just about to close the lid to the keys when she noticed that something was shinning on them, as she reached down careful not to strike a note she found that the keys them selves had drops of water on them.

“He was crying?” Rebecca questioned, as she close the lid keeping a mental note to clean them later, she turned to her flight crew, smiling as she looked at how Baloo held Kit, and how Kit seemed so peaceful in the big bears arms. As Rebecca retrieved a blanket from her room she smiled as she thought about how it was lucky that there wasn’t any deliveries until later that day. As Rebecca looked out at the new day she couldn’t help but wonder where Shade had gone off to. Else where in Capsuzette Shade stood in his lair, he was patching him self up from a hard night of fighting, after a while he set the medical supplies down and took a deep breath as he looked him self in the mirror.

“Is this really what I want? Is this all I’m good for?” Shade asked himself, as he looked him self in the eyes. “I wonder if their awake yet?” Shade started to think about the four he had left behind the evening before and then turned his back on his own reflection clinching his fist. “NO!… I know what happens to those that I care about, I can’t go back, I wont go back, to protect them.” As Shade walked around his lair he sat down in an old recliner and closed his eyes.

Don Karnage smiled as he looked at his two new partners in crime, two very smart Doctors in the field of this new field of technowlogy known as robotics. “Hello it is I they plundering wonder Don Karnage, and I have brought you two here, because I wish for you two science type people to build me an army.” Don Karnage said, as he looked at both men.

“Hold on Karnage, I agreed to help you, but there is no way I’m working with this loon.” Torque said, as he pointed at Dr. Axelottel. With that Don Karnage smiled and looked at Torque.

“Yes, yes I have heard about his past, and I see your point oh so very clearly.” with that Karnage pulled out his sword and put the tip to Torque’s nose. “Now do you see mine?” with that Torque gulped slightly as he looked at the sword and nodded slightly. “Then there will be no more refusal?”

“N-no sir.” with that Karnage put his sword away and looked at the two Scientest.

“Good, then come up with some ideas and tell my men what you will be needing.” with that Karnage started to walk away and then turned and smiled at them. “Oh and please do be having something to show me very soon.” With that Karnage closed the door and walked away leaving the two men to look at one another.

Cape suzette Park

12:00p.m.

Rebecce Cunningham smiled as she looked at a ledger and then up at her daughter Molly playing on the play set. It was a rare event for Rebecca to take Molly to the park on a work day but Rebecca felt that she needed to get some fresh air, trying to shake the image of sleeping in Baloo’s arms out of her head, or the feelings that it brought up.

As Rebecca heard the sound of an ice cream cart she smiled slightly as she looked at Molly. As Rebecca walked to the vendor she smiled as she thought about how Molly would react when she surprised her with a frosty peep cone. She smiled as she walked up to the spot that she last saw Molly only to see that she wasn’t there. “Molly sweetie.” Rebecca called, as she started to look around, with no answer a feeling of concern started to creep into her heart. “MOLLY?… MOLLY CUNNINGHAM!?” the creeping since of concern started to get replaced with fear as Rebecca kept calling for Molly, as she walked around the play area. “MOLLY THIS ISN’T FUNNY YOUR SCARRING MOMMY.” Rebecca called out starting to get looks from both kids and adults, and as these looks started to dawn on her the fear that had filled her was now quickly over taken by terror. “MOLLY!!!!!!” 　

Cunningham apartment

It was hours before Rebecca returned home, she had done everything she could think of doing, she first reported that her daughter was missing, gave a description of Molly to them and then proceeded to search the park her self, Going to the news papers and paying to run a missing person add for Molly, and again back to the park hopping that Molly had shown up, but to her horror she did find something on yet another search of the park. In a trash can near the play area Rebecca found Molly’s doll. Rebecca looked at the doll for several moments hopping she was wrong, but once she flipped the doll over and found the initials MC on the tag Rebecca held the doll close and started to cry, wanting her nightmare to end, she wanted so much for Molly to run up to her then and there laughing saying that she was O.K. and just playing a joke on her. As Rebecca walked into Molly’s room she sat down on the bed and started to cry once more. Only to calm down to sniffles as she heard the phone, she rushed hopping it was the police calling to tell her that they had found Molly alive and well. “Hello.”

“Becky what’s going on Wildcat isn’t making any since. The Cape park play ground set is missing, and the police want Molly?” Baloo asked, over the phone, and Rebecca’s heart sank, as she broke into tears.

“Oh Baloo my little girl (*sniffle*) she’s missing, we where in the park and I turned my back for a second and now she’s gone.” Rebecca cried, as she held the phone close. Baloo’s heart sank as he heard the news, and then a bit of rage started to fill him as he swore to him self that if anyone hurt Molly they would be able to count all their teeth on one finger.

“Alright Becky, me and Kit are going to look for button nose now, will find her I promise.” As the phone hung up on the other end Rebecca looked a her hand set and then hung it up. Rebecca thought back to all the times that Baloo and Kit had done so much for her and helped protect Molly over the past years and dried her face as she knew that those two would find her little girl, if anyone could they could.

“Please find my baby Baloo, bring her back to me.” Rebecca didn’t dare leave the apartment incase the police found Molly, or if maybe Molly came home.

Cape suzette docks.

A tall polar bear walked up and looked at a small cage that he tapped several times, to wake up Molly who had cried her self to sleep hours before. “Wake up brat time to eat.” with that the Polar bear dumped some scraps through the bars of the cage and walked away laughing. As he did Molly started to sob as she picked a orange peal from her hair. She would protest, she would scream, she would give the mean bear a piece of her young mind, but she tried that once before, and as she placed her hand to the side of her face she sobbed even more as she winced at a black and blue spot on the side of her face. “I know some people that would love to get a hold of anyone that Baloo cares about. In fact I know an entire nation that would love to get their hands on this brat, and the best part is I still get my revenge on that no good rooky lady.” the polar bear said, as he sat down in a chair and started to throw darts at a poster of Baloo, Rebecca, and Kit, hitting each of them in the head. As Molly pushed the filth out of her cage, she curled up and started to sob, and tried to fall back asleep wanting nothing more then to wake up and find her self back in her mothers loving arms.

12:30 a.m.

Hours passed and Rebecca sat by the phone, and listened for the door holding on of Molly’s dolls hopping that anything would happen. When the door bell rang in a Rebecca leapt to her feet and ran flinging it open, only to find two very sorry looking bears, Baloo was twisting his hat out of shape in his hands, and Kit looked as if he him self was about to shed a tear, she had never seen them this bad before, she had seen Baloo nervous or sad, but never like this, and Kit she had seen him a few times this upset mostly after she had given him a stern talking. This wasn‘t what she wanted to see, not now, not at this time. She wanted to see her little girl hugging Baloo, as he held her in his arms, she wanted to see Molly on Kit‘s back laughing, what she was looking at made things worst as she could only come up with one reason these two would look so bad. “Look Becky.” first words out of Baloo’s mouth and Rebecca fell to her knees thinking the worst.

“No not my baby, please don’t tell me she’s gone.” In a heart beat Baloo knelt down to Rebecca and held her close.

“Listen Becky will find her I swear, we’ll find her and I’ll break every bone in the body of the people that have taken her, you have my word on that. No one is going to hurt Molly and get away with it.” Baloo’s arms tightened around Rebecca as he closed his eyes, while Kit stood
