The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

"No he left to take the vials from the blood test to the lab he has not been back yet,' frank said.

"Maybe he got lost." Diver said, letting the funny looking things be put on her ears.  She knew about loud sounds and it seemed the things were used like some held their hands over there ears, or some used leaves to cover their ears, or some messy folks put mud on their ears.  

"I do that sometimes, but if he has been living here for a while he should know his way around." Chomper said.  

Mim didn't say anything at the moment, partially waiting to see and partially wondering how an airplane could go into the air without flapping it's wings and remain in the air and move.

Frank sighed "I knew there was some suspicious about dennis,' frank thought. Muldoon walked up to the group "Something up,' he asked frank. "Yesdennis tok some blood samples from our guests to see if they could survive a flight in an airplane at altitude,' frank replied.

"Maybe he went to a far away place to test the blood." Diver said.

"The lab is just down the hall he shouldn't have left the base to test the blood,' frank said.

Longtail felt the protective gear being placed around his ears, and scoffed.
"I bet we look stupid with these things on our heads." he said aloud.

~~~~~~

Hammond sighed.
"Its getting hard to run a respectable business when you can't even trust your computer/tech genius. What a waste."

"Maybe we can help instead." Diver said.

"Yea, I bet we all could work together and do a pretty good job." Chomper said.

Mim continued to look the plane over, "I'm not sure if they would be comfortable with that if they are use to being around only their own kind." Mim said.

"That seems like a good idea,' muldoon said.

"But, why would he run away with blood?" Kit asked, despite the slight morbidness of such a thought, it also hitting her as weird.

"Might not have even been that, he might have just got lost or run away scared" Cory said.

~~~~

Henry had put the call on speaker phone just so Hammond could hear it all and at the kids' words a bad thought hit him.

He glanced to Hammond, "Have...any of our rivals...been talking to Dennis or anything?" he asked quietly.

"I don't know, but he was on a phone call last week that he told me to 'mind my own buisiness' about when I asked about it" Peter added.

~~~~

Meanwhile, Dennis was trying to convince himself he hadn't become turned around as he drove down the pathways.

"H-hold on" he paused the jeep at a group of signs, neither of which looked like dock signs. "I'm going further into the park, no I need to go out!" Dennis sighed and turned the jeep around, driving the other way.

"Mr hammond we've got a unidentified ship that just entered the port a few minutes ago that's not responding to our attempts to hail it and we have no shpis comming today,' a raido man said to Mr hammond on a walkie talkie.

"maybe he likes to secretly drink the blood since he is secretly a mean sharptooth." Chomper said.

Longtail flapped his wings and asked Frank
"Let me go! I wanna chance to use my tracking skills! Besides he'll hear your metal flyer coming, but he won't hear me."

Cyrix nodded in agreement with longtail.
"My nephew does have a point. But it still might be dangerous, especially with Sharptooth out there as well."

~~~~~

Hammond pinched the bridge of his nose and gave a heavy sigh. This was getting way out of hand...and to make matters worse Hammond knew something else.
He quickly spoke into the walkie talkie that was going towards the dock.
"We have no security presence on this island...at least not yet! I want you to stall that ship from leaving, I don't care what you have to do to stop it. I just don't want it to leave this island, and we will deal with Dennis later!"

He then said to Frank over the phone, "Take a plane out, but have Longtail follow you lower to the ground that way you can both search and still find him faster."

"what if he catches longatail, that would certainly be bad." Diver said worried.  

"It would be bad." Chomper said.

"It's a calucated risk but longtail is right dennis would be able to hear my plane if I flew low. With longtail flying low dennis would not hear him,' frank said.

"Life sometimes has to have a few risks, otherwise it's not worth living." said Cyrix with a nod of his head as he turned to Longtail. "Are you ready nephew?"

Longtail looked around for a moment and then gulped as he was suddenly feeling nervous about this idea.
"I guess I am. But which way do I go? I'm not even sure I'd find Dennis in time."

"He should be heading east since that's the fastest way to the docks,' frank said.

Peter frowned, confused, "W-why would Dennis just betray us like this?" he asked. Henry sighed, "Something tells me they probably offered him a huge amount they don't even plan on paying out in the first place" he said even as he stood,

"We could probably check on that boat still being there from the main room, after all...there are a few computers we don't need Dennis specifically to unlock" he said lowly, realizing how much Dennis controled that one room and now wasn't with them.

~~~~

"Alright, now we're talking!" Dennis said, spotting out a sign that looked like it was leading to the docks, apparently he was going the right way now.

~~~~

Meanwhile, Sharptooth milled around about some of the foliage and quickly swallowed down a small runner he'd managed to catch, it was something of an improvement over that furry thing they'd kept putting in with him in the iron, bitting, tree branches enclosure...those things hardly even knew how to run or be hunted properly, they just stood there, no fun at all.

He moved on, across the landscape and nearer where the jeep trails stood.
