steriaca Posted October 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I gently pull Darlene out of the SUV and start untiring her. I also remove her gag. "Are you ok? Did Foxbat hurt you?" Knowing from Foxbat's files, he was a more fun loving villain and never goes out to harm people. Then again, this is not a normal Foxbat caper. Normally he is after stuff like stealing all the Hostaes bakery in the city, so superheroes don't tempt him with it, like in the ads on the back covers of the old comic books. I don't remember him kidnapping anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Okay," Darlene says as Samantha joins them, her badge in plain sight. After Darlene repeats what Foxbat said, Samantha says, "'What goes around makes me dizzy' could refer to the Samuel Brackett Plaza Carousel." "That plaza on the other side of the main building of Saint Mary's General Hospital, whose campus we're on," Ghost Cat adds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Rand Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Neither can they. Samantha calls the Sheriff's Department's crime lab to examine Foxbat's vehicle, then radios for a patrol car to keep an eye on it while she takes Darlene to Saint Mary's General Hospital's Emergency Department. Once there, she notifies the county's Child Protective Services Department. Social Worker Paige Matthews gets sent to look into things. She stays with Darlene until her parents arrive, then gives them her card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Lady Heart is looking around the carousel when Cornerstone, Ghost Cat, and Spirit Cat arrive. They look around the area, too. In a nearby planter, Cornerstone finds part of a ticket to the San Angelo Zoo and Aquarium, which is located in nearby Samuel Brackett City Park. "Doctor Claire McCauley is their head veterinarian," Spirit Cat says. "She's appeared on The Mickey Mouse Club when the zoo is visited on Discovery Day to learn about animals."
