Ah, there's MiskatonicNick, languishing in the comparative safety of Jabba's jailhouse...

*grunt* "Jabba will see you now" *grunt*

"About time too..."

"... I hope he's got a damned good apology for me worked out!"

Wait... who's that mysterious in the background - why, it's Top Dollar, the GI Joe's very own Bounty Hunter...

(Hey, ain't that the bag-headed weirdo we're after, I'd better let Duke know where he's hiding out)

There's a thought; what's Duke up to at the moment...

"... I still don't understand why you let Stormshadow go?"

"'cos he wasn't the one responsible for the 3 dead Ninja corpses we found!

 

"No Mr Duke, they didn't take anything."

"So the Diary IS here"

"No, like I told them, I don't know where it is - Mr Nick must still have it with him... or at least know where he's put it."

 

 

 

Now, Miss Sandy; anything missing the Ninja's may have taken? Money, valuables... the Grail Diary...?

"Whoa! Incoming message from Top Dollar, Duke..."

"Yes, Dialtone?"

"Our quarry is at Jabba's Palace."

"Damn, anyone know when the next shuttle leaves for Tatooine?"

 

"Jabba's Palace? You probably want Jabba's Palace Bar & Casino in downtown Toyville..."

"Thank you, Miss Pinky. Gung-Ho, make sure these girls don't leave this building.
Dialtone, round up a Joe Posse; we're off to visit with a few Bounty Hunters."

Which is where we return now for MiskatonicNick's second audience with Jabba the Hutt and his new pair of dancing girls...

 

"Chowbasa, MoskitanicNock"

"Erm, yes... about 3 o'clock. Eh? Mary-Kate, Ashley? Your standards seem to be slipping..."

 

"Shut your face, you bag-headed perv! I bet you had this planned all along!"

"Yeah, you'll get yours!"

"Sorry girls, 'fraid all I'll be getting now is my freedom,
isn't it Jabba?"

"Nobata, MoskitanicNock."

"Erm, Nobata... that's Huttese for yes isn't it?"

"Nobata"

"Yes."

"NO!"

"But why? The Olsen's bounty on my head isn't any good anymore..."

"True... but this one is..."

"Eh?"

"Heheheheheheheh"

"Wanted... MiskatonicNick for Slander, Lame Plots, Not being Jenny Anniston and further 'questioning'"

"Perhaps Jabba should hand you over to the GI Joe's now..."

"Uhoh"

"Or... perhaps Jabba could turn a blind eye to your escape... once you've handed over the Grail Diary!"

"Eh? Hold on, how do you know about that? But I guess I don't have much of a choice do I?... hang on... was that gunfire?"

"Hah! Baghead mindtricks ain't gonna work on Jab..."
