Chapter 39
Controlling.
Floyd drove crazy and fast.
"Floyd stop!" Dr. Teeth called.
His phone rang suddenly and he pulled it out to answer it.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Dr. Teeth darling how are you?" An achingly familiar voice answered
"What do you want?" Dr. Teeth asked.
Trudy laughed. "Oh dear where's Floyd?" She asked.
"He's busy, driving" Dr. Teeth said.
"If he's driving back to Joyce tell him it's useless. She's gone and we have both of you girls." Trudy drawled.
"You? You did this? Why? How? Where's Joyce? Where are Janice and Morgan?"
"One question at a time dearie. Now let me see yes I was part of this. I'm Joyce's friend that's why.
You to left leaving Morgan and Janice for the taking. Joyce is with them now and we're actually somewhere near your home." Trudy said.
"Joyce can't hurt then" Dr. Teeth said.
"Oh I'm afraid she can and will the question is will you two idiots save them in time?" Trudy said baiting him.
Dr. Teeth closed his eyes thinking of places they could be his phone went dead and he got up and walked to the front of the bus.
"Go back." He said HHS voice was grave.
"No man I can't…"
"Go back Floyd everyone is back there Joyce tricked us!" He screamed. Floyd didn't argue the turned around and drove back and the same crazy speed.
Miss Piggy skipped to the next magazine and opened it up.
Kermit walked beside her and read quietly over her shoulder.
"You didn't tell me" he stated plainly.
"I didn't know how," Piggy admitted her eyes clouding somberly.
Kermit with a barely concealed sigh sat beside her and took the stack away.
"Piggy you don't need all these you kept them because you didn't want any of us to know your secret battles with yourself. I knew but let you do your thing. But dear these aren't important. You were successful because you didn't try so hard."
Piggy let what he explained sink in. When it did she nodded and rested her head against his shoulder.
"The show's tomorrow and Floyd said the band or Janice can't be in the show so I don't have a singing act" Kermit implied.
Piggy couldn't help but laugh.
"Fine I'll do it" she giggled.
Kermit smiled at her and took her hand "lets get some coffee"
In the earliest days of the theatre before Kermit had even shown interest in starting a show. The theatre was used for the occasional play.
The muppet cast majority of the time used the front or side doors to go in. Few knew of the small square door big enough for a crawl space that was in the alley on the ground.
Luckily Floyd did.
"How do you know they're in there?" Teeth asked.
"Because the boarding house is across the street and this is the only place Joyce would think of. And I'm a genius" Floyd joked opening the door.
"Just go" Teeth said pushing him inside.
They had to crawl down s long tunnel before they could slide forwards down a slanted chute until they both dropped down into a room.
"Jan?" Floyd whispered into the darkness.
"You're smarter than Joyce ever gave you credit for." A woman replied.
Floyd recognized her voice but it was so far forgotten that it seemed to be from a half forgotten dream.
Teeth on the other hand was frozen and breathing like he'd just run five hundred miles.
"No" he gasped but it was lost in the darkness.
"Hi Teeth it's been a long time but I'm sure you still remember me." Anna said stepping out of the shadows with a smile.
