Knowing that there was very little he could do with his pistol, Pupster did what anyone in his position would do. He pulled the trigger and the gun clicked in his hand, then he practiced the better part of valor out of the bars front door. The sailors made chase and Pupster had to lose them. Meanwhile, Patrick was in his hideout back in Newsville, plotting the next move. If you want something done your way, you have to do it yourself. Never again do we hire from a third party! He slammed his fist on his desk and his coffee mug jumped a few inches before falling over sideways and spilling the liquid all over a series of maps and charts. Prep a plane. Im going to India before they get there. Find the best pilot with the fastest plane. Ive never flown before, but we have to beat Pupster and those girls hes with.
