Tattoo was the first to express his shock and horror declaring:
"This is unBEARable."
Adding,
"NOT GUILTY.
Hope they haven't been shipped out to Iraq.
They might end up being BEARHEADED."
Rick Francis was quick to add his take on the situation stating,
"Wasn't me, but I wish I'd thought of it.
I could have made a moustache out of one of them."
However, as Gobby became hysterical at the flippancy of this reaction he began to realise the gravity of the matter and took a far more constructive role in the search for suspects adding,
" I have been very concerned about the disgusting act that has occurred. I have been thinking really hard about where poor Rupert could be. I am sure that I have seen him, but I can't think where.
I have been on the look out for a strange looking creature that seems out of place in his surroundings, who likes tartan trousers and to be near young children, or open fields."
Moreover, on receiving communication on the matter from one of the above it would seem that Rick's surmise could be accurate. Indeed Jordan had been correct when her suspicions were aroused only last week regarding the previously unimaginable unprovoked generosity on the part of one of their number.
Horrified, Gobby now rued the gusto with which they had consumed the tasty gift that had been proffered on reading the following:
"It is with dismay, shock and outrage that I hear of your loss. How could any of your so called friends have done anything so cruel and heartless?
So, it is with great pride I wish to offer a reward for the safe return of the two Ruperts, a Scottish steak pie!
As with all foodstuffs nowadays, ingredients must be listed:
- Bear meat 70%.
- Tartan trouser 20%
- Scarf 10%.
All offal is now removed and used in Haggis.
Haggis will also be offered as a bonus if said bears are returned within two days. (It's Great, Very very tasty!)
Hoping for a happy outcome, Hamish.XXX"
