Circus Jack - Chapter 3. The Dognapper

Circus Jack Chapter 3.

 

The man at the market returns with bad intent. In this third chapter of our story, as the golden sun gives way to the gentle hum of night, the tranquil rural landscape is disturbed by a chilling development. After an endearing scene of homey evening meals and hearty farm work, the plot unfolds in the lull of the night. However, their serene slumber is disrupted by the calculated actions of a slender figure; an intruder with an elusive motive.

With meticulous precision, the unsuspecting Muscles becomes the very first victim of a sinister plan. After silencing the guard dog with chloroform and grilled meat, the intruder then focuses his attention on the performing dog, Peppy. Using the same approach, he stealthily makes his way through the slumber-infused household, whispering calls for Peppy in an almost eerie manner.

He successfully lures the innocent dog using meat treats and within no time, Peppy is also drugged, kidnapped, and his absence concealed. The kidnapper and his accomplice seamlessly manage to exit the scene without leaving even a hint of their malicious act, hopping onto a waiting wagon and disappearing into the night.

This chapter highlights the audacious abduction of beloved Peppy which ends with a cliffhanging silence, leaving the readers to anticipate what transpires next in this suspense-filled tale.
