CHAPTER ONE

It was another quiet day at the office of the Muppet Fans Detective Agency.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. The man sitting at the main desk quickly slipped his photos of Kathy Greenwood into the top left -hand drawer and ran across to answer it. When the door was opened a big, female pig with a lovely blue-sequinned dress and pretty yellow hair came bursting through, throwing her arms around him and knocking him to the floor.
"Hey! Get off me" he cried. At the sound another slightly older man came running into the room followed by a young female. They quickly calmed the hysterical pig down and escorted her to a chair while their partner picked himself up from the floor. Seated in three chairs around her the detectives introduced themselves.

"My name is Marty," said the older of the two men, "and these are my partners Kendra," indicating the girl, "and this chap you fell into is the undercover member of our investigating team. His real name is a closely guarded secret but he works under the alias of Snowthy."

Snowthy was trying hard to smooth out the wrinkles in his coat but he managed to stay calm. The lady pig was starting to become very upset. She took out a large handkerchief and blew her nose. "My name is Miss Piggy," she sobbed. "I need help. I read in the newspaper how the three of you managed to clear the name of that little red monster named Elmo, who was accused of throwing that brick through the window of the bakery store in Wandlum Street."
"Oh yes," piped up Kendra with a big grin on her face. "I was so delighted to have played my part in redeeming that cute furry monster's good name."
"Well Miss Piggy," said Marty. "What is your problem?"
"It-it's my little doggie Foo-Foo." Piggy started to cry bitterly. "He disappeared two days ago, and I don't know what could have happened to him." She started to bawl her head off and one of the windows smashed because of her high pitch. The Three Detectives ears were ringing and they were desperate to calm her down.
"Okay Miss Piggy. Okay!" cried Marty. "You can leave the case in our hands. Just give us your contact address and we'll be in touch."
Piggy dried her eyes and blew her nose once again. "I'll gladly pay you any fee you charge if you can return my beloved Foo-Foo to me."
"We'll leave no stone un-turned." said Snowthy, slapping his forehead to try to stop his ears from ringing and opening the door to let her out. After she was gone the door was shut and the Three Detectives were ready to plan their strategy.

CHAPTER 2

Marty set down to business. "Okay. Let's start secretly investigating Miss Piggy's contacts so that we can attempt to ascertain if any of them might have a possible motive for kidnapping Foo-Foo. That's your job Snowthy."
"Check." Snowthy sat down in front of the computer screen. "I'll do a muppet search under known muppets who commonly interact with her and see if any suspicious-looking characters show up."
"Kendra. You come with me down to the back alleyway of Franklin Avenue," Marty said as he picked up the phone. "I'll call our faithful informer Ziffel and ask him to meet us, if he's heard any relevant tips regarding Foo-Foo's disappearance."
"He's incredible. I don't know how but usually that man has the lowdown on almost everything we ask him about." Kendra said with admiration in her voice.
Marty dialled Ziffel's secret contact number and he heard Ziffel's voice say his usual answer, "You've reached me Detectives. Hope you didn't get ziffeled."
Marty gave his identification reply. "No. We made it with a muffin."
After their secret exchange Marty got down to business, and told Ziffel about Miss Piggy losing her dog. Ziffel said he did have some potential tips and agreed to meet as requested.

So Marty and Kendra left Snowthy to his task at the computer and set off to Franklin Avenue to find out what Ziffel's hot information was.

Oh wow, when you told me you were working on a very "different" type of fanfic, I was intreagued, but as usual, I had many other things to do both on and offline. Sorry I'm late.
Oh man, what a great story this is! You've got everyone hear down so well! I'm assuming there will be other muppets in this story; I hope I'm right! Update when ready, sir.

CHAPTER 3

As Kendra and Marty were nearing Franklin Avenue who should they run into but Sherlock Hemlock.
"Hello Mr.Hemlock," said Marty.
"Ah, good day Marty and Kendra. Where is your friend Snowthy?"
"He's back at our office doing research for a case we're working on," Marty explained.
"Are you on a case yourself, Mr.Hemlock?" asked Kendra.
"Yes I am. But I'm in desperate need of a clue."
"You been searching for awhile?" asked Marty.
"Yes. But still no sign. But I have an instinctive hunch that any minute now a great, big clue will hit me."
Suddenly an enormous letter Q came falling down landing right on top of Sherlock with a splat.
Kendra and Marty both had a big shock. "Are you all right, Mr.Hemlock?" they asked.
"Hooray!" shouted Sherlock from underneath. "I knew it! This giant letter Q must be the very clue I've been waiting for!"
Well he seemed to be happy enough. So they said good-bye to Sherlock Hemlock, leaving him to his investigation, while they continued with theirs.

When they arrived in the alley of Franklin Avenue, Ziffel met them and spoke very quietly. "I have recently seen Baba hanging around outside the main hotel."
Marty and Kendra gasped. Baba was the henchman of a well-known criminal who called himself Super Muppet(though he wasn't really a muppet). He was pretty super though in terms of his power and influence among thugs and hoodlums.
Ziffel went on to explain that four days ago he had been snooping in the shadows and overheard Baba talking to his boss Super on mobile phone. He was saying that he didn't like the risk involved with kidnapping that fat pig's dog.
"If she catches me, she'll bash me black and blue," he had said. But whatever Super had replied to him it seemed to have persuaded him that the plan could be carried out safely.
"Okay Boss. I'll slip inside her house while she's out for her appointed mudpack beauty treatment in a couple of days and grab the little mutt."

"It sure sounds like Super Muppet is our prime suspect." said Marty.
Kendra agreed and after thanking Ziffel and slipping him a $20 note, they set off back to the office. The big question on their minds was what reason could Super have for getting Baba to steal Miss Piggy's dog?

Oh wow Marty... this is.... AWESOME!!!

Love the pick-up like "I hope I didn't get ziffeled."

Sherlock Hemlock's cameo was a nice touch, haven't seen that guy in ages!

Also like how things are turning out... Baba and SuperMuppet being the prime suspects.

Ooooooooooooooo this is soooooo exciting!:big_grin:
