Sinister Squad Page #4

---

I need you.

Goldie:
Snap out of it.

Goldie:
Better yet, use it.

Goldie:
This isn't over.

I'm sorry.

I warned you.

Be careful.

I'll tear this whole

place down.

- There's still a bunch of them

upstairs.

How did we do?

-Shut it!

Yes, mum.

Did you have an accident?

How about a pooper scooper?

Mustn't dally now.

Taking too long.

Mustn't waste time.

Alice:
You're late, you're late,

you're late.

You've gone and mucked

things up, Alice.

Trading monsters for messengers,

and more are coming to join the

fun.

You've figured out the players,

but not the game.

You know who loves games,

don't you, Alice?

Oh, god.

Alice:
Goldilocks, if

you could be so kind, it's just

occurred to me that we're

missing a guest.

Bring me hatter.

Hatter.

Cuppa?

Aren't there usually

four of you?

All in all not bad. But I'd be

surprised if that was the last

of the messengers.

I imagine it wasn't.

You're back to witch duty.

Apologies, love, seems it's

going to be a long night.

Off you pop.

Yes, mum.

Hatter.

-Gelda:
Alice?

Well we all had a good, bloody

time on your behalf and you

should be pleased.

So, what do you say we take

these off, yes?

Absolutely not.

Rumpy!

You said if I played along

that she'd take these away.

Gelda, baby it's just so Alice

here feels safe.

Do you feel safe?

I doubt very much she'd

blow me up with all of us

standing here!

Don't be so certain.

I'm getting bored of this game!

Pretty soon I won't want

to play anymore.

You're killing me, here.

Imagine going home to

that every night.

Hatter...

I need you to take a little

trip for me, love.

Oh, what fun.

Where are we going?

Well, the underworld,

I'm afraid.

Oh well then, that'll take a nip

of the good stuff.

I thought you might say that.

Alice:
No better 'trip' outside

of wonderland.

Are you really doing this,

Alice?

Oh, don't worry about

hatter, dear.

This'll be mild compared to what

he got up to in wonderland.

Goldie:
If you say so.

What's wrong?

- Are you serious?

I can't believe she's

doing this.

Desperate times, Goldie.

Alice took us in and for a while

everything felt just right.

Lately I'm wondering if we made

a mistake in trusting her.

Classic goldilocks.

I'm serious, Piper.

I know!

-Well then, act like it.

I am.

Look.

I'm going to go back to my witch

hunt and I'm going to go check

on tweedle...Dum?

His brother is dead, Piper. It's

not funny anymore.

We'll get through this, Goldie.

Okay?

Remember hatter,

the underworld.

I need to know what death

is planning.

Hatter:
Yes, yes, yes.

- Do you think you can do that

for me?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

I always fancy a tumble down the

ol' rabbit hole, dear.

Alright then, sit back.

Hatter:
Oh yes...

Bad vibes here, dear Alice.

Taste like...

Mutiny.

Murder.

Malice.

Have I made a rhyme?

Hatter:
I feel like to pop.

Hatter:
Good stuff.

He'll be like this for

some time.

Psst.

Hey buddy.

Seen any witches?

Contrawise.

If the witch was here, you won't

need ask, nohow.

Listen, I'm sorry about

your brother.

I know I wasn't the nicest to

him, but you know--

it's okay.

Keep your head up high,

big guy.

Alright. Okay.

Alright, buddy.

How long is this gonna take?

There's nasty business afoot

this evening, Alice, my dear.

Yes, hatter.

We know.

What nasty business?

What are they looking for?

Best be quick like now.

They nearly have

everything they need.

What do they need, hatter?

The prickly thing.

The scythe.

And the proper attire,

of course.

Attire? For what?

Hatter, what attire?

For the grand party, of course.

But you won't like the

guest list.

Death is coming.

And he has grand plans for you.

Grand, grand, big funny plans.

What does he mean?

What does death want with you?

I want to stop him as

much as you do.

Where's gelda?

Alice:
Goldilocks, be a dear

and head outside to check the

roof.

Gelda, darling, don't make me

blow you up, sweetheart.

Gelda, come back.

Rumpy:
Gelda, come back.

Alice:
Gelda, I'm not joking.

Not one more step.

No, no, no. Let me talk to her.

I can give her the rumpy noodle.

Come on.

Alright, buddy.

Okay.

Alright, big guy.

That's good.

Tweedledum:
You're okay.

Tweedledum!

That's far enough!

Hmm.

Like me, now.

And off with your head!

Uh-uh.

Oh, which one is that?

That's tweedledum.

Hmm.

Drop it.

Drop it.

Open it.

Take a hike, pipsqueak.

Gelda, I will blow you up!

Well, go ahead then.

She's in the armory.

That's it.

If we're lucky she'll take that

scythe with her.

-No, no, no, no, no, please.

Let me talk to her.

Let me go and get her.

You two are pals,

right?

You remember the magic mirror?

The last time I broke something

like that, it got us into

this whole mess in

the first place.

But the scythe is even more

powerful.

No one knows what will

happen if it goes off.

Please.

Alice, come on.

Fine.

Ten minutes or I will

kill you both.

Good, I can make it work.

Why do you care?

Because I love her.

Of course.

Tonight is the night, my love.

Only if you keep your promise,

witch.

I will. I will.

Oh yeah? Then do it.

Piper :
Gotcha.

Look what I found.

Alice:
Just the witch i

wanted to see.

Alice, tweedledum...He...

Two down.

Hatter.

I could use a riddle about now.

Alice, you don't seem much of

the riddling sport.

Hatter, something's happened.

We've lost another friend.

Perhaps we ought to

lose one more.

Alice...

Bring me one of the bodies.

The messengers?

Yes. Go.

Okay.

Wake him up.

I want to talk to him.

What makes you think he

wants to talk to you?

Because I want to

offer him a deal.

So...

Is this the part where one of

us says "so we finally meet

at last?"

We finally meet at last.

What do you got for me?

A consolation prize really.

You see, we'll never let you

have your little ceremony.

Forget your interest in this

realm...

And I'll give you

rumpelstiltskin.

Hmm, stiltskin.

Did I getcha?

Anyway, I just had the most

interesting conversation with

the rabbit chaser.

You got to hear about it.

You...

You.

Ha.

You caused me some

trouble, bud.

Look, buddy.

Can you scroll me to

the bottom here?

Kind of on the clock

here courtesy of Alice.

You know she tried

to trade you?

She?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She

offered you right up.

To be fair, ii should say, you

know, her world for your

worthless life.

But there's no question there.

There's no trust

between you two.

Ironically, she still has no

idea that you are way more

valuable to me than

you are to her.

So what do you want, huh?

Spit it out.

What do I want, what do I want,

what do I want. What I've always

wanted...

Before you broke the mirror.

Hey, ta, ta, ta, ta,

ta, ta...Accident.

Hey, there are set backs.

It's cool, baby.

I'm flexible. I got a

backup plan.

You.

How is that?

These bodies...They're...

So fragile.

They deteriorate so

quickly but, not you.

No, see, you've had real power.

You just pissed it all away

and now you're just
