"We'll take good care of Dutchess, ma'am! You can count on us. And we'll be counting the money after this is over, hehehe"
Bee is already gnawing on one of the biscuits, and gives a thumbs up.
(Meanwhile, Chey, Custard, and a few others were going around town.)
"Alright, sooooooo, what do we do?"
"First, where do you think an Italian thief would hide out?"
"A restaurant?"
After waking Geek and Tory up, the trio follows up with the thief catchers while Katrina explains to the two about what happened earlier.
“So are we gonna raid the nearest Bucca de Beppo?”
Dookie is with the thief catches, as he decided it would be too weird for a pet to pet-sit a pet.

"Yeah."
"The Top Secret Totally Not A Thief Hideout?"
"Well, let's go see this uh... Was it a dog, she said? Or a horse? I wasn't paying attention," I say, getting up and heading to the back of the house.
Im sure she said it was a dachshund...
Dinah Decrepit, at the door, makes her exit.
Toodle-oo, youngins!
"Well, let's try and bring her out. C'mon, Dutchess!"
(Ford then makes a noise and wiggles his index finger as he tries and gets the pet to come out.)
While Ford is calling the pet in, Junon looks around for the pet's snacks. Obedience deserves a wondrous treat, yes?
"Pffffffft, a non-thief hideout? That's stupid! We ought to walk to that Italian food restaurant."
"Hey, where's this dog anyway? I'm gonna look-" Knife stands up and begins searching the mansion for the old lady's pet.
"Better find it soon. I'm already tired of waiting."
Im pretty sure she said it was in the back guys...
Junior moves to the back door of the mansion and opens it- revealing a cliff top, leading to the luscious Tropesberg Sea-Lake below.
...Where’s the dog?
"Ooh, pretty! I hope the pet didn't escape!"
"Maybe if we call their name they'll come." Knife screams at the top of their lungs. "Hey! Duchess! Come here, girl! Now!"
(Ford rummages through his bag and pulls out a bag of beef jerky.)
"OI, DUTCHESS! Y'want some tasty, tasty beef jerky?"
The ground rumbles for a moment.
Beat.
Suddenly, the Sea Lake begins to bubble, as the water begins to viscously shake and wave. Suddenly... something emerges. A massive, scaly head pokes out, it’s presence causing the Sea Lake to steam. It slowly stands to full height, revealing a titanic, Godzilla-esque body. It’s head, about the size of the mansion, meets the Tropers eye-level on the cliff.
It sniffs at the beef jerky and begins to pant. Helpful metal collar on the beast reads “Duchess”.
"Aw crap."
"Ah. There's the old lady's pet."
We cut back to the Mansion, where Miss Decrepit has laid tea and biscuits out for the Tropers.
Now... I’m about to be off. Duchess is playing in the back right now, remember to feed her, take her for a walk, and keep her entertained until I get back.
