Chapter 3

"Buurrrp!" Gosalyn wasn't fast enough to cover her mouth after she had finished her meal. After taking the dishes she started washing them while Honker started filing some school papers he had brought home to grade. "So, what was the Amazon like?" He asked after marking a seventy nine percent on one paper. "It sucked to be honest. The bugs were irritating, there was hardly any signal my computer fried on me thanks to the stupid heat and worst of all, the guy I was after wasn't even hard to take down. Honestly, I don't know why Hooter was so worried about him. Megavolt was a lot tougher then that coward." Honker shook his head as he wrote an eighty three percent on another paper. "Gosh, sorry I asked." Gosalyn looked up from the sink as she remembered some of the perks of the amazon. "There were a few things that were nice about it. I got to see some jaguar cubs and a huge waterfall with a double rainbow."

"Sounds like it was worth the trip." Honker replied now grading the last few papers. "Yeah but, it's still wasn't the ultimate prize." She replied sadly. Honker knew he had to act fast to stop her from falling into another depression spell. "I ran into Stegmutt yesterday. He says hi." Gosalyn smiled remembering the friendly yet, clumsy dinosaur. "How is he doing?" She asked. "Pretty good from what I saw. He works in the museum as a guide." Gosalyn nodded. "That's good to hear." Once Honker had finished grading the papers and Gosalyn finished the dishes they opened up Honker's laptop. With Gosalyn's help they got into SHUSH's top secret files. But, just like with Gosalyn's computer the moment Honker clicked on the Class A files his computer froze up and shut down.

"I don't get it, if it wasn't the heat that killed my computer then why did it shut down?" Gosalyn asked getting suspicious about the files that were in the top secret folder. "Maybe it's a firewall; I mean, we are using an outside computer that's not used to the system." Honker pointed out. "True but, if it was a firewall shouldn't it have asked for a password or something?" Gosalyn replied. "Maybe they can only be accessed from a base computer insude SHUSH itself?" Honker was really good with computers but, with limited access there wasn't much he could do. Gosalyn glared at the dead screen. "They're hiding something and I don't like it." She huffed in annoyance and walked away from the table. "Where are you going?" Honker asked as she headed for the living room. "I'm going to use the one outside computer they can't shut down." Sitting on one of the easy chairs she punched the basil statue and the chairs spun to life kicking up a dust cloud as she headed to Darkwing Tower.

Brewster Beak was not having a good time. Ever since his outburst he had been grounded from everything except the basic essentials. No TV, no computer, no video games, no phone, no friends. Just school, food water and bed. He even had junk food privalges taken away. As far as Brewster was consered He didn't do anything wrong, his father just couldn't handle the truth. The little rooster may have been born with the personality of a jerk but, he wasn't a villain and didn't have any plans on becoming one. At least if he could avoid it. There was a knock at his door as his mother came into his room. "Brewster sweetie, I'd like to talk to you." "If it's about what I said to Dad I'm not sorry." The hot-headed rooster replied. "I think you're being too harsh Brewster. Just because your father is an agent for an evil empire it doesn't make him a bad person all the time. He only wants what's best for this family. I think your words hurt him more then he's letting you to believe."

Brewster folded his arms. "Good! Maybe he'll get a taste of what he did to other people he hurt." Amonia shook her head. "Those were orders that he had to follow. I know, High Command was pretty harsh on me to. Even when I got arrested they never came to bail me out. It was your father that bailed me out last time and after paying my debt to society I cleaned up my act and left FOWL forever." Brewster respected his mother more then his father, at least she tried to lead a normal life and live it right. He leaned close and hugged her. "I'm sorry mom. I just want a good romodel to look up to." Amonia hugged him back. "I know sweetie, I know. I'll talk to your father about that. In the meantime, your friend Jessica called. She wanted me to tell you that she's desided on the project you'll be writing on and she'll tell you at achool tomorrow." With a gentle peck on the cheek Amonia tucked him in and turned off the light. Brewster tried staying up but, was soon fast asleep.

Gosalyn arrived at the tower coughing up dust. Gosalyn had been there maybe three times since her father's disappearance. Dusting off his supercomputer she brought it online. "Awesome, this old thing still works! Now, time to get those files." Going through the long process once again Gosalyn got to Class A files. "Come on Dad, don't fail me now." She wished outloud trusting that his computer's hacking system wouldn't fail her. As she clicked on the folder she held her breath. It took a moment and the folder opened. She sighed with relief as other file folders popped up. Most were secret plans and personal files of secret agents and other boring mission files but, the one she was looking for was near the bottom of the list. "The Dementatron" She clicked on the file and the details popped up.

The Demetatron: A device that opens different portals to other dementions and realities. theorised to be the only way to connect to other realities such as the negaverse many however believe this project to be a garaunteed failure and a waste of money due to it's less then promising beta tests. The device itself was believed to be destroyed upon emplosion along with two unfortunate victims: Public Menace Negaduck and Vigilante crimefighter Darkwing Duck.

Gosalyn scrolled down for more information but, the file was blank. She slammed her fists on the desk. "I already knew all that!" She shouted in frustraition. Was this really all they knew about the deivce? If they believe the device was destroyed did that mean that her father was truely gone forever? She clentched her shaking fist trrying not to let the fear and greif overcome her. With a heavy sigh she shut down the old computer and with one more glance around the room she headed back for the house. Once back in the living room Honker could tell she didn't get the results she wanted. "Your dad's computer couldn't get past the firewall either I take it." The defeated duck shook her head. "No, Dad's computer was flawless. I got in but, the only information the file had said that they believe the machine was destoryed and anyone caught in the blast was killed."

Honker tried to comfort her. "What do they know? Except for Hooter and that Agent Blunt their a bunch of preschool novices. I bet I could build a new Demenatron if I had the blueprints." Gosalyn slowly made her way upstairs. "Thanks Honker but, the new one wouldn't bring my father back." Back in Darkwing Tower the computer's monitor had begun flashing red as a few files from the computer's mainframe began uploading to a file and were being sent to an e-mail account.
