John looked around and noticed that Carrie was no longer there. There was not even an outline made in clouds or even so much of a dotted line indicating her disappearance. And worst of all, everything else in the park was normal.
"Carrie?" John asked, "Carrie!"
There was no answer. Although he was violating every survival instruction ever, he still thought she could have been somewhere looking to play a prank on him.
"CARRIE! WHERE ARE YOU?!" John yelled. No one even responded, even though he was given an odd look by the balloon seller.
Finally, a lightbulb appeared above his head. John reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone. Then a sharp pain hit the centre of his head, followed by a small noise of glass-breaking. John glanced down, and scowled.
It was the lightbulb that had appeared above his head. Had it not appeared NOW, he would have actually appreciated that little joke, even if that actually hurt. John kicked what was left of the lightbulb in frustration as he got back to his cell phone. Carrie always carried her phone with her, in her pocket even, not in a purse that could have been taken away.
John hit the first number on his quick-dial button, which was her cell phone and then listened to the ringing sound. It rang only three times, but just those few precious seconds that Carrie could have been missing or flattened were the longest. Even longer than those few seconds after he asked The Question, or when she had taken a pregnancy test a day before the honeymoon. (They decided they wouldn't be ready for children yet)
There was a clicking noise. Heart pounding, John was listening.
"NyaNyaNyaNyaNya!" A sinister voice said, "So you want your beautiful lady back, huh? Well guess what! You'll have to come here and rescue her!"
"DAMMIT!!!! WHO ARE YOU?!" John asked.
"Give me three good reasons why I should say that? You'll have to find her over on ToonTown West! And unfortunately, the railroad tracks are closed! YOU'LL HAVE TO GO BY FOOT!" he then started to laugh until he started choking and gagging.
"Sorry about that," The villain said, "I swallowed my mint."
John facepalmed.
"If I were you, I'd start walking West towards the Western side of town, it's only a short walk through the African Grasslands and then you're there in the Sands!"
There was a click. John tried frantically to redial her, but no one responded. The newlywed was so angry that his wife would be kidnapped, it was all he could do to not throw the phone down on the ground.
"GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT!" he yelled, before finally setting off west, hoping to find whoever took her and pound that mint-choking-fucker's face right in. He stomped off for miles, before he finally reached the toon Serengeti.
