Pitt Report--Choo Choo's Condition


Choo Choo Andrews, Railroad Man

Peepers’ Pitt--Peepers New Crew pt. 15 of 20: “Choo Choo‘s Condition”
Humphrey the Hobo, Birdy Nok Nok, and Charlie Decaye had finally found the end of the forest they had been placed in by Mr. Peepers. Upon exiting, they saw a train depot, complete with fellow victim, Choo Choo Andrews, sprawled out on the railroad track!

The three rushed to investigate and determine Choo Choo’s condition. Actually, only Decaye and Birdy Nok Nok rushed to the conductor’s aid. Humphrey Hobo slowly walked in Choo Choo’s direction, as he was more interested in finding some discarded food on the ground. Decaye reached Choo Choo first and knelt down to help the old man.

“Sir, are you all right?” Decaye spoke in his gravely voice. Choo Choo groaned and his eyes fluttered open. His eyes popped open wide when he saw the frightening face of Charlie Decaye, the Pumpkin-Headed Horror!

“Wh- Who are you?” Choo Choo weezed.

“Do not be afraid sir, Charlie Decaye means you no harm! Decaye and his friends here were kidnapped by…Mr. Peepers. Do you know him?”

Choo Choo gathered himself and rose to a sitting position. He became more confident that he was among friends when he saw Humphrey the Hobo, who had originally arrived in the Peepers’ Pitt at the same time he had. Choo Choo put his spectacles to his coal-covered face. “Son, I‘m in the same boat… brought here ‘gainst my will like you all. This Mr. Peepers…I spoke to him. Asked him two questions…where I was and why. He only answered one. Said we’re in his Peepers’ Pitt! Then he told me to find a train before dark! If I didn’t, I wouldn’t like what would happen! Turns out, I found the depot, but I missed the train. Schedule on the depot door says so.” Decaye got up and walked to the depot. On the front door was a schedule. The only departure was at “dark,” with no arrivals.

Choo Choo continued. “After all that walking for nothin’ I just laid down here on the track in defeat. Must’a fell asleep. Ain’t as young as I used ta be!”

Humphrey finally made his way to the tracks where they were. “So’s waz we’s gon do? We’s gon get sumpin to eats?”

Decaye answered Humphrey’s question by glaring and then pointing a finger at the railroad track. “We go…that way. Surely there is something at the end of the railroad track, or along it. We must find civilization, if there is any in this world. Decaye will not stop until he has found Mr. Peepers, and forced him to send us all home!”
