At this point in the story, the kids have been arrested. The precinct secretary, Penelope Snickett has helped them escape. They’re now hiding in a tunnel under the old zombie circus in the woods. The cops have shot both of Penelope’s rotties, and now there’s more animal trouble:
…they froze in their tracks. The dogs were barking wildly overhead. "Something’s wrong," said Pickles. No sooner had the words left her mouth, then they heard the scream of a cat above the noise of the dogs. Piper immediately burst into tears. First it was Penelope’s dogs. Now, it was Zaboo, her beloved cat with the creepy eye. She sat on the floor crying uncontrollably. The dogs were going berserk.
"Someone kill that cat!" yelled an officer. "Oh my gosh," screamed another cop. "He’s killed a dog!!!"
Piper stopped crying. Everyone was looking up at the ceiling of the tunnel listening to all hell breaking loose as Zaboo was getting his revenge. First they had taken his owner. Then, they had disrupted his breakfast. And now, his lunch was missing. That was something you just didn't do to the Zaboo.
The cries were now coming from nothing but the humans. The dogs had fled for their lives. Someone shot. There was a scream, "You shot me!!! You shot me, you Idiot!!!" One of the officers had taken a bullet to the leg, as another cop tried to defend himself from Zaboo and his creepy eye.
"That’s the scariest looking cat I’ve ever seen in my life!" cried an officer. "What’s wrong with his eye?"
Another horrible scream filled the air, "My eye! My eye! He got my eye!!!"
"Run for your lives!!!" Less than a minute later, there was silence. Zaboo had taken on the entire Titchfield police force, and won.
