"What? What is it?" Elias asked, wondering what Ducky and some of the others were viewing.

"Get a load of this!" Ducky exclaimed, pointing into the viewfinder of the camcorder.

Elias looked and was immediatly shocked by what was going on. "Is this what you were trying to warn us about, Toxic?!"

"Um, yeah. I tried telling you all about it earlier, but I was ignored like I didn't even exist!"

"Sorry about that. Brawls in the tavern have a habit of taking over everything else."

"So I've noticed."

"So what's the deal?" Jack queried.

(OoC: Happy, 4I? I used Jack instead of Flash.)

"In case you forgot, it turns out that there is going to be an office complex built right next to this tavern. The worst part about it is, they aren't happy with the amount of space they have to work with, and are therefore trying to get the tavern shut down so they can buy the property and demolish it," Toxic explained.

"Oh, man... I wish you were joking, but with evidence like this, it's hard NOT to believe you!" Ducky stated.

"Yeah, this truly is a bummer," Elias replied.

Just then, something caught Elias's attention. "Hey! How do I rewind this thing?!"

"Just press this button right here," Toxic replied, pointing to a blue button marked REWIND. "Then press the green PLAY button next to it to play back what you rewound. To pause it, just press the yellow button."

"Thanks."

Elias rewound the tape to a certain part, just before the camera's view rotated to the left. He played it for a brief moment, then paused it as it zoomed in on something. "There! Can you see it?!" he queried, removing his eye from the viewfinder.

"See what? The image is all blurry," Ducky replied.

"Hang on. I can fix that easily," Toxic stated.

A few button presses later, the image had sharpened enough to see it clearly. What they saw did not please them: It was a logo of a turtle shell, emblazoned with the letters DSC.

"Why, that dirty, no-good SOB!" Ducky exclaimed. "I recognize that logo anywhere! That's Devan Shell's so-called 'construction company!' How DARE he try to knock over our tavern?!!"

"You should have learned by now that Devan will stop at nothing to erradicate all of us from the face of the universe, don't you?" Elias questioned. "The real question is... how did he manage to find people of his own kind smart enough to operate heavy machinary?"

"Who knows and who cares?!" Ducky shouted. "Someone has to teach that turtle a lesson he'll never forget! Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, messes with my tavern and gets away with it!"

"Count me in, too!" Elias stated. "He's not going to get away with trying to destroy our hangout!"

"Believe me, Elias... all of us will make sure of that," stated Ducky, "because this time... it's personal!"
