Mr. Bump's Clue 5

Outside, Kenny shined his flashlight on the car's license plate, then underneath it before walking away. At the Conservatory, Jack and Heather stood in the doorway, backlit by the hall. Jack turned on the light switch.

Jack: Come on.

The two looked around the area, noticing cobwebs and dust all around. She walked to the outer wall of the windows, noticing the rain. Jack walked to one side, picking up something. He took out a cloth, wiping his hands. As he did, he leaned against the wall, with it swinging open and Jack falling in.

Jack: Gah!

Quickly, he got up, then looked at it.

Jack: Looks like a secret passage.

Heather: (concerned) Should we see where it leads?

Jack: (shrugs) What the heck. I'll go first-I've had a good life.

The two entered the passageway, walking slowly. Heather, however, tripped and yelped in surprise.

Heather: Oh, Geez.

Jack: It's all right.

At the Lounge, the two emerged from behind the still-rotated fireplace. Just then, to their horror, they saw Captain Hero's body on the ground.

Heather: (horrified) Oh, my Gosh!

The fireplace shut behind them before the panicking woman began yelling in fear. Up in the attic, Mr. Bump, Miss Whoops, and Coco heard her yelling.

Three: Huh?

At the lounge, the two ran to the double doors, trying to open the locked door, screaming and panicking.

Jack: I want my mommy! I want my home!

Mr. Rude: (peeking) You want your blankie?

Jack: Yes, I want my-(angrily) Cut that out!

At the hallway, both Ratigan and Shego ran for the staircase. Then, down came Mr. Bump's group, though the five collided.

Five: Gah!

Miss Whoops: Whoops.

At the lounge, Heather and Jack kept banging at the door screaming. Back in the hall, the five untangled themselves with Ratigan, Mr. Bump, Shego, and Coco quickly running down the stairs.

Ratigan: Where's it coming from?

Mr. Bump: Where are we going?

Miss Whoops: How should I know?

They came to the first floor as Drakken with Cree emerged from the cellar.

Shego: Where are they?

Ratigan: The lounge!

The rat tried opening the door, though it was locked.

Drakken: The door's locked!

Mr. Bump: (impatiently) I know!

Drakken: Then unlock it!

Mr. Bump: Where's the key?

The rat quickly searched his pockets, noticing something wrong.

Ratigan: The key is gone!!

Drakken: Never mind about the key! Unlock the door!

The blue man in bandages shook him in panic.

Mr. Bump: I can't unlock the door without the key!

Drakken: Then stop shaking me!

He released the doctor, then banged the door.

Mr. Bump: Let us in! Let us in!

Inside, the two kept banging the door.

Heather & Jack: Let us out! Let us out!

Ratigan sighed at the sight.

Ratigan: It's no good. Stand back.

He backed up all the way across the hall to the study floor.

Ratigan: There's no alternative. I'm just going to have to break it down!

He ran at full speed toward the door. However, he hit it, falling to the floor and groaning in pain, holding his shoulder. At that moment, Coco realized something.

Coco: I know! I have eet!

Cree only looked annoyed a the screaming coming from in the Lounge.

Cree: Will you shut up?!

At the Study Room, Coco grabbed the gun from the opened cupboard.

Cree's Voice: We're doing our best! Give us a break here!

Coco came out of the room, tripping over the still-spawed rat, forcing her to pull the trigger, with the bullet going wild and hitting the chandelier rope.

Drakken: (notices) Hit the deck!

Both he and Mr. Bump ducked down. The chandelier started spinning. The three females ran into each other, colliding.

Three: Ugh!

Miss Whoops: Whoops.

At the lounge, the two crouched down with worry.

Jack: (panics) They're shooting at us...

At the hall, everyone kept panicking as the chandelier kept spinning and the rope frayed unknown to anyone. Coco stood, aiming at the lock. The two males, peeking, ducked down again before she fired twice, hitting and destroying the lock. Inside, the Goth Boy turned away from the door, holding his shoulder in pain.

Jack: AHHH! I've been shot! I've been shot!

Coco, outside, looked annoyed.

Coco: Come out! The door eez open!

She lowered it, unknowningly toward where the two ducked down. They noticed, quickly scrambing away.

Both: Whoa!

Finally, out came a miraculously unwounded Jack and Heather, with him glaring to Coco.

Jack: (angrily, to Coco) Why are you shooting that thing at us?

Coco: To get joo out.

He only shoved her.

Jack: (anger mark) You know, you could have killed us! I could've been killed!

Miss Naughty: (peeking) Stop being a baby and take it like a man.

Jack: Was I talking to you, Miss Naughty?

As he continued, the chandelier spinned even more with the rope almost completely frayed.

Jack: I can't take any more scares.

Then, the rope snapped, then landed three free back of Jack Spicer, breaking and shattering.

Jack: (panics) AHHHH!!

He finally collapsed onto a love seat, groaning. Heather pointed to the lounge hysterically.

Heather: But look!

They ran across the room, crushing glass as they went in, then noticed the body of Captain Hero.

Cree: (accusatory) Which one of you did it?

Heather: We found him! Together!

Shego: How did you get in?

Mr. Bump: The door was locked.

Shego: It's a great trick!

Heather: There's a secret passageway from the conservatory.

Drakken: (to Coco) Is that the same gun?

Cree: From the cupboard?

Drakken: But it was locked!

Coco: No, eet was oonlocked!

Mr. Bump, Drakken, & Ratigan: (shocked) Unlocked?

Coco: But, yes. See for yourself!

They ran into the lounge together. On the way, Coco tossed the gun under the broken chandelier. Back at the Study room, the group piled in, noticing the cupboard was opened.

Cree: How did you know it was unlocked? How did you know that you could get at the gun?

Coco: I didn't. I sink-I would bray kit open bud it was open alreddy.

Cree: (frowns) A likely story.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Outside, Kenny rang it. Inside, everyone else froze.

Heather: Maybe they'll just go away.

However, they kept hearing the bell ringing with everyone still freezing. As the bell kept ringing, the guests looked disappointed.

Miss Whoops: I'm going to open it.

Heather: Why?!

Miss Whoops: I have nothing to hide! I didn't do it! And neither did Mr. Bump.

She held her hand out to the rat.

Miss Whoops: Key, please.

She was given the key.

Miss Whoops: Thank you.

She strided into the hall with everyone else following. At the Hall, near the Foyer, Miss Whoops opened the door, revealing Kenny.

Kenny: (muffles) Good evening, ma'am. You look hot to be lying in bed with me.

Miss Whoops: Kenny, now is not the time. Besides, I have Mr. Bounce outside this.

She slammed the door in front of him.

Kenny: (muffles) It isn't my fault!

Inside, she noticed Mr. Bump glaring.

Miss Whoops: He insulted me.

Mr. Bump: Come on, let me take care of this.

Miss Whoops: He better not be insulting me again.

He opened it before looking at Kenny.

Mr. Bump: Yes?

Kenny: (muffles) I found an abandoned car down near the gates of this house. Did the driver come in here for any help, by any chance?

Others: No, no. No.

Mr. Bump: Well, actually, yes.

All (but Mr. Bump): No.

Kenny: (muffles) There seems to be some kind of disagreement.

Others: No, no, no no.

Mr. Bump: Yes.

Miss Whoops: Mr. Bump!

Kenny: (confused) Huh? (muffles) Uh, can I come in and use your phone?

Quickly, Ratigan stepped to the front door.

Ratigan: Of course you may, sir. You may use the one in the, um, no...(nervously) Uh, you could use the one in the st-no...Would you be kind enough to wait in the um, in the, em, library?

Kenny: (muffles) Yeah.

In the hall, Kenny came in before looking at Coco.

Kenny: (muffles) Don't I know you from someplace?

She only shrugged before the parka covered person looked at them.

Kenny: (muffles) You all seem to be very anxious about something.

Ratigan: It's the chandelier. It fell down. Almost killed us. Would you like to come this way, please, sir?

Heather quickly closed the door to the studdy, trying not to look nonchalant. He turned, though Drakken did the same to the lounge, with Kenny looking confused.

Ratigan: (nonchalant) Frightfully drafty, these old houses.

Kenny: (muffles) All right, you're nonchalant, stop acting.

In the library, Ratigan lead the cop in, pointing to the phone.

Ratigan: Please help yourself to a drink, if you'd like.

Kenny reached for the Fizzy Pop.

Ratigan: Not the Fizzy. Just in case.

He left and closed the door, with Kenny more confused.

Kenny: (muffles) Just in case of what?

At the hall, Ratigan locked the door, turning to the others.

Ratigan: (whispers) What now?

In the library, Kenny tried opening the door, though it broke off.

Kenny: (muffles) Nuts!

Back in the Hall, Mr. Bump looked seriously.

Mr. Bump: We should have told him.

Cree: (frowns) Oh, very well for you to say that now.

Mr. Bump: (defensively) I said it then!

All: Oh, shut up!

Mr. Bump: No, you shut up!

Mr. Rude: (peeking) Hey, no back talking, you nitwit!

Mr. Bump: I'm trying to not let them talk and-

Miss Naughty: (peeking) Mr. Bump, you have blood on yourself!

Mr. Bump yelped, looking at himself before Miss Naughty laughed.

Miss Naughty: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Got you good.

He groaned in annoyance. Ratigan looked at the broken glass of the candelier.

Ratigan: Let's clean this up.

In the library, Kenny looked at the door, then walked over to the phone. He reached for it, though it rang before he picked it up.

Kenny: (muffles) Hello?

At the hall, the others listened.

Ratigan: (concerned) Maybe the cop answered it...

Inside, Kenny listened in.

Kenny: (muffles) And who shall I say is calling? (pauses) Ah...will you hold on, please?

He strided over to the library door, then banged the door.

Kenny: (muffles) Let me out of here! Let me out of here, you have no right to shut me in! I'll book you for false arrest, and wrongful imprisonment, and obstructing an officer in the course of his duty! And murder!

The door opened with the others, holding brushing utensils.

Ratigan: What do you mean..."murder"?

Kenny: (muffles) I just said it so you'd open the door.

They sighed and laughed a bit nervously.

Kenny: (muffles) What's going on around here? And why would you lock me in? And why are you receiving phone calls from Mayor Mr. Fussy?

Ratigan: (shocked) Mr. Fussy?!

Kenny: (muffles) That's right. The head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Jack: (confused) Why is Mr. Fussy on your phone?

Ratigan: I don't know. He's on everybody else's, why shouldn't he be on mine?

He headed to the library.

Ratigan: Excuse me.

He went in, then closed the door, locking it.

Kenny: (muffles) What's going on here?

She draped herself in front of Kenny.

Heather: We're having a...party...

The others laughed even more nervously before Kenny looked surprised.

Kenny: (muffles) Woo-hoo! Mind if I look around?

Heather: Sure...You can show him around, Mr. Bump!

Mr. Bump: (confused) Me?

Heather: Yes! Uh, you can show him the...dining room...the kitchen...the ball room...

Mr. Bump: (stiffly) Fine...Fine...Officer, um, Kenny was it, come with me. I'll show you the...(gulps) dining room...the kitchen...the ball room...

At the dining room, the cop rose the metal partition, looking into the kitchen. At the lounge, Heather looked concerned.

Heather: ...make it look convincing.

At the dining room, Kenny followed Mr. Bump.

Mr. Bump: So! This is the dining room.

Kenny: (muffles) No kidding.

At the Lounge, Heather looked worried.

Heather: Come on...

At the dining room, Kenny looked confused.

Kenny: What's going on in those two rooms?

Mr. Bump: (nervously) Uh...which two rooms?

He pushed passed the bandaged man, entering the hall. Two of the guests ran frantically across the hall. Just as they left, Kenny entered, pointing at the lounge and study.

Kenny: (muffles) Those two rooms.

Mr. Bump: Oh...those two rooms...

Kenny: (muffles) Yes!

He looked a bit lost before the cop strided toward the Study door. Mr. Bump quickly blocked the path.

Mr. Bump: Officer, I don't think you should go in there.

Kenny: (muffles) Why not?

Mr. Bump: Uh...

Kate came before whispering to Mr. Bump.

Mr. Bump: Because Miss Whoops is having a drunk party where they're stripping and-

Mr. Bump yelped with fear.

Mr. Bump: (glares) Kate!

Kate: Hey, it was to help out.

Mr. Bump: That's not helping.

Kenny dodged around the blue man, though he kept blocking the door.

Mr. Bump: Actually, it's because it's...all too shocking.

He only tossed Mr. Bump toward Kate, whom both collided.

Both: Agh!

At the Study, a song with Mr. Bounce's voice was heard while Shego was on the couch on top of the Rat King, using her hands to move his arms against her and fake kissing.

Mr. Bounce's Voice: (singing) No matter where I tried to hide
It just won't let me go
The bass is thumping and the beat is pumping
Like a disco undertoe

The parka cop noticed Jack and a woman apparently kissing against the far wall, in a curtain. Inside, Cree
was behind it with her hands on Jack's back and Doris propped up between them.

Mr. Bounce's Voice: (singing) No chance of getting out of here
When the whole town's wiggling their seats
It's just a fact, I've been attacked
By the boogie oogie hooked to the beat

Kenny: (to Mr. Bump) It's not all that shocking. These folks are just having a good time.

The officer left the hall while Mr. Bump looked surprised.

Mr. Bounce's Voice: (singing) Watch out, get down, jump around, the boogie's got me
Watch out, get down, jump around, the boogie's got me
Watch out, get down, jump around, the boogie's got me
Watch out, get down, I think I kinda like it

At the lounge, Heather poured a drink into Captain Hero's mouth. The man was propped to a chair, while the music was heard still. Back in the study, Jack and Cree rolled Doris onto the couch.

Cree: Oh, my Gosh...

At the lounge, the cop entered with Drakken taking Heather on to the couch, beginning to kiss her. Heather grunted, though tried to fake enjoying it just as Kenny came in.

Kenny: (muffles) Excuse me?

The two got up with concern. Kenny glanced at Captain Hero, leaning into the dead man's face and sniffed a bit.

Kenny: (to the two) This man's drunk. Dead drunk.

Heather: Dead right.

Kenny then turned to the motorist.

Kenny: (muffles) You're not going to drive home, are you?

Drakken: He won't be driving home, officer! I promise you that!

Heather: Yeah...

Kenny: (muffles) Somebody will give him a lift, huh?

Heather: (gulps) Oh, we'll...we'll...get him a car.

Drakken: (grins) A long black car.

Heather: (quickly) A limousine.

He lowered Heather to the couch with Heather yelping in surprise. Back at the hall, Ratigan left the library, then he leaned against the door, sighing in thought. Both Kenny and Mr. Bump entered the hall before the rat walked toward them.

Ratigan: Officer!

Kenny: (muffles) You're too late-I've seen it all.

As the conversation continued, Mr. Bump stood behind him, mystified, but relieved while looking at Ratigan.

Ratigan: You have? (pause) I can explain everything.

Kenny: (muffles) You don't have to.

Ratigan: I don't?

Kenny: (muffles) Don't worry! (delighted) There's nothing illegal about any of this.

Ratigan: (confused) Are you sure?

Kenny: (muffles) Of course! This is America.

Ratigan: I see...

He placed his gloved hand to his shoulder.

Kenny: (muffles) It's a free country, don't you know that?

Ratigan: (confused) I didn't know it was THAT free.

The officer glanced back at Mr. Bump, whom tried looking innocent before looking back.

Kenny: (muffles) May I use your phone now?

Ratigan: Certainly!

He led the cop to the library again, the locked it. The guests finally emerged into the Hall.

Mr. Bump: Why did you lock him in again?

Ratigan: (whispering) We haven't finished searching the house, yet.

Drakken: (whispering) Well, we're running out of time. Only 15 minutes before the police come.

Mr. Bump: (whispering fiercely) The police already came!

Miss Whoops: (quietly) That's just one. I'm sure that more will-

Others: Shut up, Miss Whoops!

Ratigan: Let's get on with it!

Coco: (to Mr. Bump) Monsieur? (to Miss Whoops) Madam?

The guests once more split up, beginning to search the house while music continued. At the kitchen, Jack and Heather arrived. All of a sudden, Jack opened a door, though an ironing board hit his head.

Jack: Gah!

Heather opened the door to the freezer, graping one of the meathooks. It turned in her grip, showing another secret passage in the back of the freezer. She yelped in surprised.

Heather: Look! I can't believe it. I wonder where this one goes.

Jack: Well, let's find out.

They went into the passage. At the Study, while music on the radio played, the large painting swung aside as Heather and Jack came out.

Voices: (singing) Drop it, don't stop it, send it on its way

Mr. Messy's Voice: (singing) And your junk is sure to get there on the very next day

Voices: (singing) Junk mail

Mr. Messy's Voice: (singing) I'm sending junk mail, you'll see
When your mail is full of junk, you're gonna wanna thank me

The two shrugged a bit.

Jack: Let's try the ball room again.

In the attic, Mr. Bump, Miss Whoops, and Coco were still looking around the attic. At the cellar, a gloved hand pulled a lever down, then all the lights shut off with the music stopped. Near the boiler, Cree, in the darkness, backed up into the boiler, thinking it was someone. She yelped before hitting the boiler with her handbag.

Cree: (angrily) Ahh! Don't you touch me!

At the Master Bedroom, wind blew in, shutting the door, with the rat yelping in fright. At the other bedroom, Shego screamed a bit. At the ground floor staircase, Coco descended down quitely. She gasped, hearing Shego's scream. In the library, Kenny was still on the phone.

Kenny: (muffles) Hello? Hello?

In the Billard Room, Coco entered quietly. A voice was heard muttering before she gasped.

Voice: Shut the door. Did anyone recognize you?

Coco turned, yelping as she spoke normally.

Coco: They must have. And not just my face. They know every inch of my body. And they're not the only ones...

Just then, a noose flew onto her neck as she gasped and choked.

Coco: (gasping) It's you!

Back at the Library, Kenny was trying to tap on the phone futilely while speaking quietly.

Kenny: (muffles) There's something funny going on around here. I don't know what it is...

Unknown to him, the door silently opened.

Kenny: (muffles) No, I'm not on duty. But I have a feeling that I'm in danger. You know that big, ugly house on top-

Then, the lead pipe came down softly on the phone cradle, cutting the connection off. The pipe was raised behind Kenny's head as he continued, not noticing.

Kenny: (muffles) Hello? Hello? Are you there?

At the hall, the bell was heard ringing. The guests looked stunned. Outside, the front door opened, showing a woman named Princess Clara and a blob named Bloo beginning to sing together.

Both: (singing) We...are...your singing telegram-

At that moment, a shot was seen before they fell down, then the door slammed shut. At the rear room of the attic, Mr. Bump, trying to get out, opened the closet, though the contents all fell on him.

Mr. Bump: Gah!

At the second floor bedroom, a jack-in-the-box sprung open, making Shego yelp.

Shego: Gah! Miss Naughty!

Miss Naughty: (peeking) Script purposes. Work with me here!

At the other bedroom, Ratigan heard yelling and shouting which was muffled from the room.

Ratigan: (yelling) Shouting! I'm coming! I'm just trying to find the door!

He entered another part of the bedroom as he continued.

Ratigan: Coming...

He grabbed the handle.

Ratigan: What's this? I'm at the door?

He turned the handle, then water sprayed on him, making him cough and gag, looking very wet.

Miss Naughty: (peeking) Ooooh, Katherine...he's all wet and hot now.

Kate: (annoyed) Shut up, Miss Naughty!
