Elsey walks into the local bar, The Tricky Mister, and asks her old buddy Cyrus to pour her a drink.
"Something girly," she asks him. "Something the boys will laugh at."
She smiles and looks around the room. She thinks about who else might walk into the room tonight. She turns back to her girly drink and waits for Sir James to arrive, as he undoubtedly will at some point.
Just then, the front door opens and in walks....

OK, I need to get my mind out of the gutter.

Has anyone seen my homing device? It rings and summons flying piranha to devour the target. I usually give them to clients who are guilty and don't pay. Then I activate it and they die horribly. I hope no-one has activated it by mistake.

Llolly is standing outside the bar, about to push the door open and stroll inside to have a drink and get away from the constant barking of the bloodhounds in her agency's back yard. Something catches her eye and she stares, frozen at what appears to be a low flying black cloud coming towards her. As it draws nearer she can make out that it appears to be a swarm of... giant bees?? No! She gasps as she realises that she is facing a few hundred flying piranha! They're headed straight for the bar!

Llolly has seen this phenomenon before, down at the huge and gloomy Sleuthville prison. Usually they are after inmates, the cocky ones that thought they were so clever they could hire a sleuth and not get caught. Although they didn't tend to be too picky. The guards would vacate the area for their own safety. The bar was the last place that she would expect to see them, as it was usually frequented by the sleuths themselves.

Finding the strength to move, she wrenches the bar door open and hurls herself through it, slamming it behind her, grabbing a chair and lodging it under the handle. Everyone has stopped talking and is staring at her. The silence is punctuated only by the insistent "ring, ring... ring,ring..." of DaRu's device.

Diving under the nearest table and dragging Makensie, the nearest person, with her, she starts shrieking hysterically:

"Piranhas! Coming! Teeth!"

Makensie does the only thing she can; she slaps Llolly's face. She is about to demand what Llolly thinks she is doing when the sound of wet flapping and splintering wood fills the room...............

The following things happen simultaneously:

*The Mad One produces a collapsable shovel out of his pocket and uses it to lever up a couple of floor boards. The n he starts digging an escape tunnel while whistling the theme from "The Colditz Story"*

*Cyrus Tibby shouts "Bartenders and women first" and locks himself in the beer cellar.*

*Makensie shouts "What on earth is going on?" and adds a little--Ok a lot--of whiskey to her water*

*DaRu thinks "Who planted this device on me? And Why?"*

*Llolly rushes to the back door and slams it, just in time to prevent a sneak attack by the piranhas*

*Strange music starts playing (The theme from Jaws)*

Makensie, who has her glass of water/whiskey in hand, runs to the cellar door and starts pounding on the door screaming, in panic "Let me in!! Oh my God, let me in!!!! What is happening?!?" Makensie throws her drink down and yells "Oh please open the door" as a flying piranah heads her way.

Makensie's heart begins to pound so hard, it can probably be heard by others and leans on the door and continues to slide down in defeat, when suddenly......

The number of piranhas is significantly higher than the number of bullets she has handy and they are beginning to win the battle.

Llolly fights her way through the throng of screaming detectives, reaching under her fetching pillbox hat with one hand and desperately swatting fish with her priceless oriental fan with the other. As she reaches the cellar door, she produces a large iron key and fits it into the keyhole. The door crashes open and the girls fall through in a heap.

Cyrus reaches forward to pull the girls in so he can once again slam the door, batting a few fish in the process. He stares accusingly at Llolly as she tucks the key back under her hat.

"It was a present from your colleague at the Owl and Walnut" She smirks. "Him and me stepped out together for a while."

Meahwhile, outside, a different commotion is going on. Rushing up the street in answer to their masters' voices is a pack of what looks like just about all of the Bloodhounds in Sleuthville, scenting blood and out for a fish dinner. Heading the pack are Sirens' own Snuffles, Rex and Rover, but thronging in the front row are the hounds from Omega and the Fat Kitten contingent.

Then, without warning....

"Lone Wolf," (texan's bloodhound from Omega) stops suddenly at a man-hole in the middle of the street and begans barking, clawing and scratching on the heavy metal cover, as Rex and Rover, join in barking down at something, or someone below. Whatever it is, they've picked up the scent of danger, which they've all been trained for. As if the flying piranah weren't enough to scare them out of their wits, now they've encountered something more terrifying, than anyone's ever known here. The question is, whose going down into the dark tunnels, beneath the city and check out what evil lies below? Then ......

...The Mad One emerges from the other end of his escape tunnel, and promptly gets slobbered on by the nearest dogslobber dispenser (I mean Bloodhound).
"Sid!"
"Sid!"
*The Mad One removes the piranha that is chewing on the end of his nose*
"Sit!"
"Go Fetch!" and points at the bar.
*The Bloodhounds all sit down and start howling*
*The Mad One reaches into his pockets and produces a packet of chocolates. He gives one to each bloodhound.*
"Go Fetch!!!!!"
*The Bloodhounds surge towards the bar wagging their tails and slobbering*
*The bloodhounds surge towards the bar
