h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*hands AMCJ a bandage for his nose, then helps herself to some steak*

*from somewhere near the prisoner's knee there is a muffled "What do we have here?" Blue Bear then mutters something barely intelligible about "small breeds" and "luxating patelas." There are sharp movements under the leggings.*

*watches the soft toys with interest*

In case it has escaped your notice AMCJ, those Apachellos started it with the Webjello gang when they kidnapped Lil.

I do hope she is all right.

Now then old boy, why don't you do the decent thing and show us where they have Lil. I'm sure you wouldn't want me writing to your Aunt Aggie about all of this.

/* Cuts up some more steak and gives it to Zeppo */

Blue Bear has only gotten up to the knee? This search is going to take a long time.

[X recieves a radio transmission]

[X] ... She's with Zero.

Who? Lil?! Where?

[X] I'm not sure ... he says they're near some sort of church ...

A church? Hmmm, don't suppose any of the scouts have seen one have they?
*Scratches head, dislodging his knotted hanky*

*frowns and contines to eat steak, wondering why on earth there would be a church in that place*

[X shrugs, not knowing.]

*the movements at about AMCJ's knee become more exagerated. There soft and muffled groans of exertion, and barely intelligible comments that might be "...get this thing to luxate..." and "...poetic justice..." The only thing that is clear is the periodic cry "You took my doggie!"

Yes, well, anyway, before Lucers here finally gets what is coming to him, I don't suppose you know what church they are on about. It is rather important and all.

We need Amy to go and recce from the air.

Which direction is this village in? All I can see is prairie for miles round.

Amy is busy elsewhere. Have patience.

Will do.

Since the town is back that way, the church must be that way.

/* Points. */

Do you suppose that minister had something to do with the church? He did go that way.
<-- staring at sea's steak.

*Wanders - look at the 'a' - back from staring at a very dead jello for signs of movement in search of food*

*Fretfully tries to get his knotted hanky to stay on his head while worrying that he should be rushing of to help Lil, but having no idea which direction he should rush off to.*

[X] [listening to his radio] No ... I think the church is in some sort of ruined indian village.
