With the Search Party, they soon reached the fence that lead straight to Villa Devil. They could hear the revving of her car’s engine, but couldn’t tell if it was coming or going.
“But that Swamp Rat may ask why you’re so interested in them, when you ask where he got them from!” Whiskers notes, as he tried looking around Sandy to see the glyphs; “Unless, you need a good cover story.”
Clayton examined the book too; “So, these are either like someone scribbling notes on a piece of paper, or…are these actually the reason the books work? Like these are the actual spells, and whoever wrote this kind of programmed them so that are only cast if you read certain parts in this book out loud?”.
“Convenient…” Whiskers comments.
“Or…what do Glyphs do!?” Clayton checks.

Shadow took another glimpse of the book. "Clayton, I think you're hot." He said but quickly added, "in a way that says you're close and on fire, and I agree with you with the glyphs being the key on how these books work. Now, all we gotta do is focus on the glyphs, and we can fix Stirfry."
The star-spotted Dalmatian didn't pry his eyes off the glyphs. He allowed them to cement themselves in his brain. But he answered Whiskers without looking up. "These could be how the books work, but we don't want Swamp Rat to know that. So let's say it's some of our doodles that we're practicing for the upcoming art fair? And we didn't have any paper on us?"
"Hmmm. . . do you hear that?" Genesis's ears flickered as they pinpointed the sound of a car. "Guys, be on your toes. In case something pops out in the open."

"If any Coyotes do show up, Nugget has a secret weapon, that will make sure they will leave us alone." Nugget said to Genesis as he continued digging, he stopped thinking that the hole was big enough to fit them all in. "Was digging a hole to the Nugget Cave."
Lucy looked at Patch and Priscilla. "Five of them are wearing bandanna's, they are the good ones." She replied to Priscilla.
Both Nugget and Lucy perked up their ears as they heard the sound as well. "Nugget can hear the sounds as well."

"No, these aren't the source of the magic. They're written in pencil which means they're just practice for the real glyphs. The real glyphs will either be carved into the book's surface or written in ink somewhere. But usally they're carved into a separate surface during the enchanting process, not on the item itself. " she also examines them further. "These are also recent, definitely not part of the original book..."

"Urg, What a Horrid Beast!" A Women's voice, which the other Dalmatians knew quite well, was heard by the Search Party; "How did a mongrel like you get stuck to my car!? Get off!" Some struggling sounds could be heard; "Get...Off...YOU!". After some more struggling, grumbling was heard; "Fine, there's more than one way to clean a stain! JASPER!? HORACE!? Where are those nincompoops!?".
Maybe, the Search Party should check what's going on there!
"So, why would someone doodle these in the books?" Clayton asks; "You think it was like someone learning about that type of thing, and was like...copying them down, like taking notes or something?".
"I hear adding glyphs to items already enchanted can boost their power, it's very unstable, though!" Whiskers notes; "They say the spells will not work in the way that you wanted them to!".
"Oh, like how if Roger tries to change a small detail about one of his games, it might cause the entire game to get all super glitchy!?" Clayton asks.

Shadow nodded his head, chiming in after hearing both Clayton and Whiskers. "I'm just spitballing here, but what are the chances of this Gerald Bailey being a father, and these glyphs were written by his children?" Shadow abruptly hushed, checking out the glyphs, locking them in his brain. Still, he nodded at Clayton. "Precisely, Clayton." He chuckled at Whiskers. "Whiskers, the people who end up adding glyphs to enchanted items end up adding more, hoping that will make the magic more stable. However, it's a ludicrous move because a novice magic user would not understand the danger they unleash."
The star-spotted Dalmatian, a magic-user himself, knew the danger of enacting unknown spells.
Meanwhile, Genesis's ears perked, hearing the familiar voice. "Nugget, Lucy, listen. . . 'Stuck to my car,' 'Mongrel,'" Genesis repeated the Devil Woman's words. "I think we've found Stirfry. She's at Cruella's!"

Priscilla gave a small nod to Lucy, showing that she understood after she and Patch heard her explanation of how to tell which of the coyotes were the good ones.
The pair went with the others in the search party and immediately stopped dead in their tracks when they heard a familiar voice, causing their ears to raise in shock.
“It can’t be,” Priscilla said quietly.
“It is,” said Patch, giving a firm nod, showing that he knew Cruella’s voice all too well.

"Mongrels...?" Lucy asked Genesis, Patch and Priscilla. While being on the farm, this would be her first time seeing the Cruella person, as she was with Torrance whenever she was at the farm, she doesn't even know what Cruella actually looked like, though she has heard Lucky, Cadpig, Rolly and Spot talk about her all the time. "Why would this Cruella call us Mongrels...?"
Nugget just tilted his head, not getting who Genesis, Priscilla and Patch were talking about. But if they are talking about Cruella, it must be someone pretty bad.

Sandy gave Clayton a judgemental look. "Doodles... That's like calling quantom physics research notes scribbles." She said. "As I said, these are practice glyphs. They would have been replaced by real ones if the person who drew them didn't lose them. Or maybe they just gave up out of frustration because modifying enchantments is very complicated. "
"That's a possibility, Shadow. From the age of these books, his children would be old by now... if they aren't dead." She said.

As the search party reached a large fence, they could see the looming building that was Villa Devil! In the drive way was an all too familiar red car! However, stuck on the passenger side door, there was a brown and slightly burnt looking canine, with a wrench in turn stuck on to them! Is this Stirfry?
“That is what I meant by taking notes!” Clayton tells Sandy; “Like how some humans do it in their book…” he then considered Bailey’s hypothetical children; “Well, we can always check the phone book, can’t we!? Or, figure out where they lived?”
“You act as though you’re so well versed in magic craft!” Whiskers eyes Shadow; “Samuel been filling your head with ideas!?”

Shadow smirked, hearing Whiskers. He placed his forepaws on his plump, overweight belly—his signature pose. "I am gifted in the bewitching art of magic, Whiskers," he said, "also, while I do share regular contact with Samuel, I don't let him influence me. I have to figure out the right paths myself."
Genesis squinted their eyes, getting a good look at Cruella's car. "Okay, Lucy, Nugget, here's the plan," they whispered, "We go back and tell the others we found Stirfry, but one of us has to stay behind in order to keep a keen eye on Cruella."

Patch and Priscilla kept listening for more from Cruella, having headed to Cruella’s place and seeing in shock that Stirfry was stuck to Cruella’s car during all this.
“Oh, no,” Patch said breathlessly, shaking at the sight of this.
He and Priscilla quickly turned to Genesis.
“What about Patch and me?” said Priscilla. “What should we do to help in this instance?”

"I'll stay and keep an eye on things." Lucy said to Genesis.
