Now Mary had noticed that Bank Wow's drummer
Rango
who was also the bands money man
hadn't given her the customary wad of 20s
so that she could go down to the corner and get the guys their weekend supply of cocaine and cannabis.
Instead Rango had spent the last three hours looking about the living room for something
and Mary
had that Eureka moment
Rango was looking for the bottle of dragon candies.
Even before he confirmed it,Mary realized that
of course
the band had sent over the bottle of candy from one of the world cities they'd played in
as a gift to either Jenny or the Smith family in general.
So Mary fished the packaging from the kitchen wastebasket and asked Rango if he was looking for this and the bottle of candies.
Bottle of candies asked Rango a confused look in his eyes
Then the horror dawned in his eyes and he told her they needed to find that bottle immediately.
So the drummer and Mary rushed upstairs and finally found the empty bottle lying on the Study's rug where Hubert had dropped it after he'd eaten the final five dragon candies.
Rango picked up the empty bottle and he and Mary rushed to the nearby bathroom where obese Hubert was bent over the toilet
trying unsuccessfully to empty his heaving insides of the contents of that bottle.
Rango and Mary led Hubert back to the Study's sofa where after a quite literally green faced Hubert settled himself down
Rango explained that in Dhubai,Arabian Sands
the band had found a little known Arabian wheeler and dealer in
dragoness djinn summoning tablets.
Hubert had just consumed a whole bottle of summoning tablets meant to summon
a dragoness shaped wish granting genie named
Ssliver Al O'Donnel
They definitely were not meant for human consumption and certainlty
were not candies.
Rango explained,as he peeled away the outer white label on the empty bottle that
there was a prohibition on exporting the country's genii
Rango showed the sickly green Hubert and the horrified Mary
the real label that lay underneath the false white label he had put over it to fool
the Arabian Export and Border Customs Control Police
of Arabian Sands.
