The Ransom of Red Smurf (The Devereaux Story)/Chapter 3

Spiro called all of Eska's friends to his house to find out what happened to her.

"I can't find Eska anywhere," Spiro explained, "It seemed as though she went missing!

"Plus without her," Bash added, "The whole village could be at stake!"

"I did find this note by my doorstep," Felipe held up a little piece of paper. He handed it over to Spiro so that he could read it.

"It's about Eska!" Spiro scanned the note

"What does it say?" Britze asked

Spiro started to read it:

Dear Eska's freidns, 

If U want 2 get you're freind bak,

U must tel us the locashun of Smurf Vilage, 

Well be awating you're ansur, 

Bucky and Undrbit

"What's an under bit?" Bash rubbed his chin.

"It's supposed to be Underbite," Spiro corrected, "These two can't spell very well. It is also what it appears to be a ransom note."

"Sacre bleu!" Felipe cried, "I can't imagine what their doing to that poor Smurfette!"

Meanwhile, Eska was enjoying every moment of that "spa" Bucky and Underbite created. She still had no idea that the two kidnapped her. She also seemed to be taking advantage of the two a lot, leaving them tired. While Eska was in aroma therapy, Bucky and Underbite talked things over.

"We can't keep her here, Bucky!" Underbite complained, "It's too hard!"

"I agree!" Bucky huffed, "This spa day is over!"

Underbite got Eska and set her back on the swivel chair. He faked a smile and asked, "Anything else, your Highness?"

"Nope!" Eska answered.

Underbite wiped his forehead in relief, "She's done. How about a game of Cards?"
