Chapter Fifteen: Something Bad
--------------------------------
One week later...
So far, Renraw and the Warners were getting along fine. He did seem to push the envelope a bit, especially with scripts but he always seemed to work out something with them. Dot didn't have any doubts about Renraw. Wakko's doubts were there, but not very big. Yakko's doubts were the biggest but so far he just didn't seem like a bad guy.
They all came to the conclusion the Therapy's just couldn't handle his rambunctiousness. Well they could! On the contrary, they loved it. He was a lot like them. He ran around the lot, joked around with other cartoons, even joined them in making some special friends.
He was as close to a real Warner as anyone could get.
Wakko sighed. Renraw wasn't that bad of a guy but he was starting to miss Iridescent. Even if they all had something to hide, he understood why they did it.
Dot just smiled as she read a magazine. She didn't seem to mind whether the Therapy's were there or not. Aroma's secret was one thing but she hated when she was out of the loop! It made her feel stupid, so having all of the copies out made her feel better again.
Yakko on the other hand, was a bit confused. As a whole, he didn't mind the copies. The only one he had issues with was Aroma!
Renraw was looking something up on the computer, and slightly glanced over at Yakko. "Hey Yakko. Come here a second."
Yakko strolled over. "What?" He smiled.
Renraw just smiled back at Yakko. "Keep your distance from Aroma."
Yakko frowned. "And why would I even try to get close to her? She's manipulative and mean!"
Renraw just chuckled. "Backwards idiot." He stared at the computer. "Aroma is the sweetest, gentlest and prettiest thing on the planet. So is the Pleasure side of her, it's all an act."
"Act?" Yakko replied.
"Yeah." Renraw winked. "So just don't get in my way."
"In your way?" Yakko seemed surprised. "Hang on...you dated her?"
Renraw just smirked. "Just stay away from her. She's mine."
"..." Yakko shrugged. The guy was weird at times.
Renraw went back to looking at the computer. He had been bored and started to play computer games. He smiled sweetly over at Dot who was far away reading her magazine. "I'm heading out on the town!" He spun off the chair. "I'll be back later you guys!"
"See ya!" Dot waved.
"Bye." Wakko smiled.
Renraw jumped out of the tower and landed squarely on the ground. Unlike the Warners, he didn't care for basic tricks to ease a landing.

Alley...
Rita and Runt were taking a break down an alley. They were slowly getting to know the streets again.
When Rico showed up. He was out of breath as he ran for the duo. "Rita! Something's wrong!"
Yeah, you. Runt grumbled to himself.
"What is it?" Rita asked.
"I was just relaxing ya know, minding my own business." Rico declared. "When out of the blue I start hearing voices from inside ACME labs! I think some rat's in trouble."
"Nobody's down at ACME labs though." Rita disagreed. "Who would be down there?"
"You've got to believe me." Rico begged. "The voice did not sound friendly."
"Authorities never understand cats." Rita shrugged her shoulders. "We should go tell Dot."
"Well we should probably do something. I got a feeling something bad is going down." Rico frowned.
--------------------------------
Nearby Slappy's Tree House...
Snappy had just come from the store. He even bought a joke book for Slappy hoping that would help out the situation. Sooner or later, she and Skip would have to allow him to get closer. He twirled his cane a few times as he walked down the streets, but stopped as he saw something near someone's trash. "?"
He swore it looked like a small tail...
"Don't come near that trash!" An angry chipmunk said half psychotically. "That's MY trash!"
Snappy just gave her an odd look. What was her problem? Not really caring about what some chipmunk thought he lifted the lid of the trash.
"Stay out of my trash! Out, out, ou-?" The psychotic chipmunk soon quit though as she saw what was underneath the lid.
--------------------------------
Water Tower...
Dot was still reading her magazines when Rita, Runt and Rico came shooting in. She looked over at them in surprise. "What's the rush?"
"There's a rat in trouble down at ACME labs." Rico warned her.
Dot chuckled. "A rat in trouble? Do go on."
"He's serious." Rita frowned. "Rico heard voices outside that lab."
"Hmm..." Dot looked over at her brothers. "Should we call the police?"
"Are you positive?" Yakko inquired. "A call to the police won't look good on our record if it isn't serious."
"Then go down there!" Rico complained.
Yakko shrugged his shoulders. "Fine. That's probably a better idea than calling the police because a cat said so." He started to take off along with Wakko.
--------------------------------
ACME labs...
Yakko looked around with a magnifying glass wearing his Hercule Yakko detective outfit. "I see no sign of foul play. Anything my dear Wakko?"
"Huh uh." Wakko commented. "Why would anyone even be down here?"
"You're right. The cat must be confused." Yakko nodded his head. "Good thing we didn't call the police."
"STOP RIGHT THERE!"
Yakko and Wakko turned as they saw two cops with guns trained on them.
Ooh, just what they needed right before court!
"What are you doing here?" One of the cops questioned.
"Just checking it out." Wakko held his hands up. "For a cat. He heard voices."
"You talk to cats who hear voices?" One of the policeman replied, not sounding convinced. "Sure you did."
"Suspicious activity." Yakko assured them. "We wanted to check it out before we called you guys. There's nothing here though."
