Wake-up Call

The Regulars had often warned Billy Idle about his dangerous ability to snooze through all alarm calls by the use of his lightning quick 'viper arm'.

It would now appear he should have heeded these wake-up calls before it was too late.

ESCAPE

Gobby was not sure what to expect on receiving an anonymous text message demanding she be down The Local at a designated time that evening.

She was equally apprehensive on being handed a suspicious package on arrival:
















Onc opened, the plight of the poor Rupies was quickly revealed- they were baked alive in a pie - as Hamish had predicted.

Although a glimmer of hope remained as it seem that the Rupies may have survived the gas chamber and written a rescue message on top of said pie:

















Just as Gobby could bear the tension no longer a sound emerged from within the pie leading to a valient ESCAPE!
















A joyous homecoming scene quickly followed and, once safely reunited, the Rupies vowed never to leave the bed again.

Much like their father.

Escapades

Gobby began to wonder as to just how much suffering the Rupies were actually enduring as their kidnap continues as, from the latest updates from Rupert Kidnapper, they did seem to be engaged in something suspiciously akin to sightseeing.


"My god where are we now?? I think I've seen that big tower somewhere before......."








"Well we got to the top and he didn't throw us off! No way are we jumping its much too high!"








"Let us ponder a while on how best to make our escape..."








"After a hot date with the Mona Lisa the Rupees decided to go for a drink....its a very long way round this museum..........."









"In the outside air and immediate thoughts of escape forgotten the Ruppees pose for a memorable snap of their travels...."







"Up at the grand arch the ruppees are glad they aren't buried underneath it...it was too windy to go up there so the kidnapper promised they'd make tracks for home!!"







Gobby was not only relieved to see them safe and sound in Gay Paris but markedly so in that she had in fact won her bet down The Local as to where they would appear next and did not now have to buy a round for all The Regulars.

The Plot Thickens...

Despite the allusions to conspiracy by the Regulars as to the dastardly kidnap of the Rupies it would seem that Gobby and Billy had been both too hasty to judge some and to trust others as it transpired that their babies were no longer in the country.

Indeed perchance they should have looked closer to home in their suspicions as further details began to emerge:



"Oh no its dark and we don't know where we are!! But we have managed to escape the evil clutches of the kidnapper!!"





"We tried to call for help but it's all Greek to us!!"






"The view from the room looks nice but it's too far to jump, we will have to bed down for the night!!"





"Things don't look good he's missing heather and desperate, who knows what he'll do.....
And look at the way I'm strewn on this chair!!"






"Looks like little Rupert is fairing slightly better, thank God it's not Garry Glitter!! Paul has offered a decent ransom of FIVE shekels no less!





After escaping from the scary clutches of Paul McCartney Big Rupert manages to find a bird -







"He says " she's so much better looking than Billy, I know who I want to sleep with.....
go home...
you must be kidding!"






Meanwhile Rupert Kidnapper considers how good a Rupies pie will taste.........................!!!!




In a rare moment of weakness the kidnapper thought about letting the Ruperts go home...............
unfortunately there was one small problem with the transport!!





Rupie tries to call home, but it seems he's not sure exactly where he is......Prague, Amsterdam.....who knows!!! Some strange Dutch porn star has propositioned me.....maybe I'll stick around.





"It seems that in order to secure safe transport home Rupert is having to resort to Brute strength to twist the drivers arm...............will he ever get home if he loses???????"



Not only was Gobby unconvinced that some of the ransom photos were genuine she was equally dubious as to that of Rupert Kidnapper himself:
