It's gonna be an adventure story with our boys fighting treasure hunters/looters. Like my last story, there's also gonna be a few familiar faces... Laura or whomever can help out with the story, soooo...hang on! It was a cloudy afternoon outside as the Monkees walked around the Musuem of Natural History. In reality, none of them had much interest in old relics, but it was rent time and as usual, Mr. Babbit was hounding them for money. The musuem seemed like a good place to hide. They came to a section of the musuem marked 'Meso-America' and inside the glass cases were bits of pottery, jewelry and other articles from the ancient Aztecs, Mayans and other cultures of central and south america. "Wow, look at this." Peter said, "Gold plates." "Must've been rich to have such things." Davy remarked. "To eat off of stuff like that." Micky looked around and saw an object in the center of the room in a glass case all by itself. Walking over, he saw a gold disc inside propped up by a holder. "Look at this, guys." Micky said, and the other three joined him. "More gold stuff?" Mike asked, getting bored. "The gold coin of Cookamonga." Peter read from the sign, "It's from Mexico." "That's a coin?" Micky replied, "It's the size of a hockey puck." Indeed, the coin they were looking at was about an inch thick and had the diameter of Micky's palm. "I wonder what they used it for?" Davy wondered. "Nobody really knows for sure." A female voice said behind him. The Monkees turned and they saw a young woman with dark hair down to her shoulders. She was wearing a colorful red and white dress. It only took an instant for the guys to recognize her. "Angelita!" The Monkees exclaimed, drawing looks from the guards. "Hola, Monkees!" She said, holding out her hands. The Monkees took her hands and shook them. They had first met Angelita when they had visited the Mexican town of El Monotono and had to deal with her evil boyfriend the bandito El Diablo. "It's so good to see you again, Angelita." Davy said. "And you too, Davy." She smiled. "It is good to see all you amigos again." "What bring you here to California?" Peter asked. "I'm here with my boyfriend, he's an archeologist." Angelita replied, "In fact, he just found that coin you were looking at." She looked around. "He should be back soon. He's at a meeting with the Museum curators." "Your boyfriend?" Davy asked, a little disappointed. Angelita smiled and said, "Yes, Davy. My boyfriend. We met when he was excavating near El Monotono and I was with him when he found that coin in an ancient temple ruin." Suddenly, there were screams coming from another part of the musuem. Gunshots were heard and voices in English and Spanish were heard. "Get down on the floor!" Several men were shouting. "What's going on?" Micky asked. "Sounds like trouble." Mike said. "And it's coming this way!" Peter put in. Seconds later, several armed hispanic men carrying guns charged into the room. They wore rough clothing and boots. The leader shot his gun into the ceiling. "Everyone lie down on the floor and nobody gets hurt!" He yelled with a Spanish accent The Monkees, Angelita and the other people in the room quickly complied. When all the visitors were on the floor, the leader strode over to the case containing the gold coin. "Ah, here it is." He smiled, "Just waiting for us." He used the butt of his gun to break the glass. "NO!" Angelita exclaimed, getting up and rushing over to the man. "Angelita!" Davy shouted, getting up and going after her. Angelita grabbed the man's arm. "That is a priceless artifact!" Anglita shouted, "You cannot have it!" "Get back on the floor chica, before I knock you down!" The man snapped, pulling his arm away and raising his hand to her. Davy stepped in front of Angelita. "That's no way to talk to a lady, mate." He said. The man struck at Davy, but Davy dodged and kicked the man in the shin. He yelped in pain, then hit Davy with his other hand, sending him crashing into Angelita. They both went down, causing the other robbers to laugh. "Now for the coin." The man said, turning back to the broken case. He grabbed the coin from its stand...only to have his wrist snagged by the curved handle of an umbrella. The other end of the umbrella was held by a man in his early thirties wearing a bowler hat. He had walked into the room during the confusion. "I suggest you put that back where you found it." The man said calmly. "You gonna make me, gringo?" The robber sneered. "If you insist." The other man said. Quick as a flash, he pulled off his bowled hat and threw it at the robber's face, while pulling on the umbrella at the same time. Knocked off balance, the robber tottered and crashed to the floor. The coin began to roll toward the Monkees. The other robbers, seeing this, started chasing after the coin, but Micky grabbed it first and covered it with his body. The man with the umbrella meanwhile, pressed a button on his umbrella handle and began firing small bullets at the robbers. The robbers returned fire, but the other man hid behind the case's base and was protected. Some of the robbers were hit and they ran out of the room, clutching their arms or legs. Unfortunately, the man ran out of umbrella bullets and the first robber went after him. He didn't get far when a hit across the knees with the umbrella brought him down again. The Monkees got up and held the man down as the other robbers ran out of the building. Angelita ran over to the first man as he picked up his bowler hat. "Pennsylvania, are you alright?" She cried, giving him a hug. "Right as rain, dear." He said, then bent down to look at the man the Monkees were holding. "Who are you?" He demanded, "Why did you want that coin?" The robber only cursed at Pennsylvania, who smacked him again with his umbrella. "Watch you language around a lady, fella." He said, then looked at the Monkees. "Thank you very much for you help, especially you, young man." He said, looking at Davy. "These are my friends, Pennsylvania." Angelita said, "The Monkees. I met them a few years ago, and they beat El Diablo." "Well met, my friends." Pennsylvania said, "My name is Pennsylvania Smith, archelogist, at your service." To Be Continued...

Posts: 136 (07/11/08 11:52 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Great start Lisa Once they all were introduce, Pennsylvania invited The Monkees and Angelita into his office The room was full of maps, boxes full of different items, photos and stacks of papers. Despite the mess, Pennsylvaina managed to make it to his desk, which was covered by more various items. "What in the world was that all about?" asked Mike. "You mean what just happened?" asked Davy. "Yeah, exactly." "Well, we know they wanted this, said Micky, holding up the coin. "Very correct," said Pennsylvania. "But why do they want it for?" asked Peter. "It's very rare and valuable, but I will get some more information from looking it up in one of my many books. Everyone then began to search the office for the book. "Here it is," said Angelita, carefully taking the book off a pile of paperwork, and handed it to Pennsylvania. "Thank you Angie," said Pennsylvania. And with that, he began to look through the book.

Nora and Sally, I'm glad you liked my postcards! LuAnne, I'm kinda basing Pennsylvania on the Avengers and Indiana Jones! "Unfortunately, there isn't much info about that coin." Pennsylvania said as he flipped through the book, "The only clue that it even existed in the first place was from old drawings." He turned the book around to show everyone. "Here's a reproduction of a drawing of the coin." "What's that big thing next to it?" Peter asked, pointing to a stone block next to the coin. It looked about 12 feet high with three vertical wheels on top. "That's another mystery, Peter." Pennsylvania replied, "The coin and this larger object are somehow connected since they share the same markings. I'm going back to Mexico soon and try and find it." "Maybe it's near where you found the coin." Davy suggested. "That's possible." Pennsylvania admitted. "The area around El Monotono has a lot of caves that haven't been explored yet." "El Monotono?" The Monkees said in surprise. "Yes, I've been excavating around there for a few years now." Pennsylvania said, "That's where I met Angelita." "When I was a girl I used to explore the caves with my friends. Pennsylvania came to town and I told him about the caves." Angelita said. "You seem surprised when I said 'El Monotono.'You know the place?" Pennsylvania asked. "Yeah, our car broke down there while we were on vacation a few years ago." Mike said, "Then Davy paid too much attention to Angelita and he was captured by El Diablo the bandit." "I had to become El Dolenzio and challenge him to a duel to save the town." Micky added. Pennsylvania chuckled. "I remember Angelita telling me that part. What a small world. At least El Diablo's in jail now. I wouldn't have been able to do any work with him around." Just then there was a knock on the door. "Come on in." Pennsylvania called out. A policeman entered the office. "I'm Sgt. Pepper from the LAPD." He said, "I'll need to get statements from you people about the attempted robbery today." So the Monkees, Angelita and Pennsylvania told Sgt. Pepper what had happened in the musuem. "Did the man we caught tell you anything, Sgt?" Micky asked. "Not a thing." Sgt. Pepper replied, "Won't tell us why he wanted the coin or who he worked for." "Probably to sell on the black market. There's a multi-million trade in stolen artifacts. My guess is that a collector wanted it because it's most likely one of a kind and made almost entirely of sold gold." Pennsylvania replied, "Though there's lots of other objects they could've taken..." His voice trailed off. "Well, I have to be going." Sgt. Pepper said, closing his notebook, "Thanks once again for all you did." "We hope you get the other robbers soon." Peter said. "Thanks, son." Sgt. Pepper smiled and left the office. "Well, we're still no closer on solving the mystery around that coin, Pennsylvania." Mike said. "Call me Penn. Like I said, I'll just have to go back to El Monotono and see what else I can find." Penn said. Angelita looked at her watch. "Oh, I just remembered we have to meet my cousin Juan and his family for dinner, Penn." "You go on without me, dear." Penn said, "I have to clean up, put the coin back in its case and do some more research." "Okay. I'll see you later." Angelita said, giving Penn a kiss. "I'll meet you back here at the musuem." "Goodbye, Angelita." Davy said. "Goodbye, Davy and all of you." She said, "It was so nice to meet you once again." "You too, Angelita." Mike said. Angelita left the office and the Monkees looked at each other. "I guess we should be going too." Micky said, "Maybe Babbitt's given up looking for us." "Who's Babbitt?" Penn asked. "Our landlord." Mike said. "Why don't you stay here with me for awhile?" Penn asked, a sympathetic look on his face, "Look around some more." "Thanks, Penn." Davy smiled. "I'm going to talk to the head curator." Penn said, "I've got to get this coin back under glass where it belongs." He picked up the coin from his desk and left the office, the Monkees following him. Cleanup crews were already sweeping the floor of glass and debris. The Monkees watched them work as Penn talked to another man. Pretty soon another glass case was brought up from storage. Penn cleaned the gold coin with a cloth and then placed it on its stand. The crewmen gently placed the glass case over the coin and back on its stand. They then quickly sealed the case with cement. "There. It's safe again." Penn said with satisfaction. "Doctor Smith?" A man called out. "Yes?" Penn replied. "Call for you, line one." He said. "I'll take it in my office." Penn said and excused himself from the Monkees. Penn was gone for several minutes. When he did come out onto the musuem floor, he was as white as a ghost. "Penn, what's wrong?" Peter asked. "I just got a call from Angelita." Penn said. "What did she say?" Davy asked. "She said she's been kidnapped and if I don't bring the coin down to El Monotono, she'll die." To Be Continued...

"Did the person give you a name?" Mike asked. "No, which will make it even harder fo me," Penn aswered. "But who ever kidnapped Angelita wants you to make a trade with her for the coin," said Micky. "Yes, I better get home and start packing for Mexico." "Us to, we're coming with you," said Davy. "No, it's too dangerous," said Penn. "I don't care, Angelita is our friend." Penn let out a sigh and said,"Ok, I'm leaving early tommorow so you better go home, back and get plenty of rest. We have a big day ahead of us." Penn gave the Monkees then time they would meet at the airport, then the guys headed back to the pad to prepare for their big trip. Mickys411 (Laura)

Posts: 245 (07/15/08 12:54 AM) Fanfic,She Wrote night owl Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Great going, Laura! Here's a little more... The Monkees quickly went back to the pad. Fortunately, Mr. Babbitt was nowhere around so they were able to quickly pack. "What should we take with us?" Peter asked Davy. "We can't take too much." Davy replied, "We don't know what we'll encounter." "I guess I'll leave my teddy bear at home then." Peter said with a frown. The guys each packed up with a few shirts and shorts and suntan lotion. They then went to bed early to meet Penn at the airport. Early the next morning, the Monkees ate breakfast and snuck out of the pad before Mr. Babbitt awoke. Fortunately, their landlord liked to sleep in. When they got to the airport, they went to the Trans-Mex airlines ticket counter where Penn told them they would meet. The guys waited and waited, but Penn didn't show up. "What's happened to Penn?" Mike asked, "I hope he wasn't kidnapped too." The other three Monkees were worried too. Finally, Micky went up to the airline ticket counter. "Excuse me, seniorita." Micky smiled. "Yes sir?" The woman asked. "Did a man come here to buy tickets for Mexico? His name is Pennsylvania Smith and he was probably wearing a bowler hat." "Oh yes, there was a man by that name that came here hours ago." The woman replied, opening up a drawer under her counter and pulling out an envelope, "Are you a...Monkees?" She said, looking at the name on the envelope. "Yeah, we are." Micky said, pointing to his friends, "That's the name of our group." "Well, he asked to give you this." She replied, handing an envelope to Micky. "Thank you very much." Micky replied, taking the envelope and walking away. The other three Monkees gathered around him. "What is it, Micky?" Davy asked, pointing to the envelope. "I don't know." Micky said, "Penn gave that lady this envelope to give to us." "Maybe it's plane tickets." Mike said. "Why would Penn give us plain tickets?" Peter asked Mike. "Never mind, Peter." Mike said, "Open it, Micky." Micky opened the envelope, but instead of plane tickets, there was just a folded piece of paper. He opened the paper and read the writing inside. "Dear fellas, "By the time you read this, I'll probably be in Mexico. I left with the coin a few hours after I got the call from Angelita. I'm sorry to have deceived you in this way, but I can't risk your lives. I've dealt with ruthless people like this for years and I have the best chance of rescuing Angelita if I go alone. I promise to call you once we make it back to U.S. I am grateful for your help and I apologize once again for lying to you. Sincerely, Penn Micky crushed the paper in his hand, disappointed and a little angry. "That's wasn't very nice of him." Peter frowned. "So he's gone without us." Davy said quietly. "Looks that way." Mike replied. "Well...I guess we'll just have to drive to Mexico then." Micky said, a sly smile forming on his face. "But...where would we go?" Peter asked, "Mexico's a big country." "I think we should make a return visit to El Monotono." Davy said. "Penn said he found the coin nearby, so maybe those kidnappers will be there too." "Yeah, those kidnappers can't be as bad as El Diablo." Mike said. "They could be worse." Peter whispered. "Well, what are we waiting for?" Micky asked, pointing to the door, "To the Monkeemobile!" "To the Monkeemobile!" The other three cried. So the Monkees grabbed their bags, and headed out to their car for the long trip to El Monotono. To Be Continued...

Posts: 139 (07/15/08 11:04 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Awsome Lisa The Monkees soon began their long trip. The ride in the car was not a plesant one though, with Peter asking Are we there yet every 20 minutes, the ac in the car wasn't working well, and to top it off, they got a flat tire shortly after crossing the border. Luckily for the guys though, there was a gas station near by. "Well, according to the map we're about 10 miles away from El Monoton, said Mike, reading a map that he picked up at the gas station. "I'll tell you what, when we get there, I'm going to give that Penn a piece of mind for what he did," said Davy. "Hey man cool it, said Micky, I know you're worried about Angelita, but try to control your anger ok?" "Ok sure." Davy remained quiet the rest of the ride, as did Micky who fell asleep, Mike consintrated on his driving, it was only Peter who asked, "Are we there yet?" How's that Lisa Mickys411 (Laura)

Finally Mike said, "Yes, here we are, Peter." As he drove past a sign saying, "Benvinido a El Monotono". "Micky, Davy wake up." Peter told the other two. "We're here." The other two Monkees woke up and looked at the town. "It looks a little better than the last time we were here." Davy remarked, looking at the painted houses. "Yeah, there seems to be more life." Micky agreed. "Where we gonna park?" Peter asked. "I don't think we should park where we can be spotted." "Yeah, we don't want anyone to know we're here." Mike said. "Let's go in here." Davy said, pointing to a small parking lot with a few cars on it. A small garage was off to one side. Mike turned into the lot and as the guys got out of the car, a man ran over to them. "Buenas Dias, Senors." The man said, then stopped as he recognized them. "Oh! The Monkees! Welcome back!" He exclaimed. The Monkees looked at the man and instantly recognized him too. "Lupe?" Micky asked. "The very same, El Dolenzio." Lupe smiled. "It is good to see you and your amigos again!" He gave Micky and the others a big hug. "It's nice to see you too, Lupe." Peter said, "You own this parking lot?" "Si, and the garage too." Lupe replied, "When El Diablo was taken away, his group of banditos broke up. Tourists are coming again and they need a place to park their cars." "Can we park here, then?" Mike asked. "Si, but it is now one dollar per day, instead of fifty cents." Lupe replied. "Fair enough." Mike said and gave Lupe a dollar. "So, what brings you back here?" Lupe asked, putting the dollar in his pocket. "Oh we're just traveling around." Davy said, "Thought we'd see if anything new was happening here." "I guess you have not heard." Lupe said, getting serious. "Heard what?" Davy asked, pretending not to know. "Your old chica Angelita has been kidnapped." Lupe replied. "She was in america with her boyfriend the tomb explorer and someone grabbed her. Pedro her padre told me." "Oh my." Peter said, "Any idea on where she may be?" Lupe shook his head. "No, but I saw a few bad-looking hombres pass through here earlier today. They looked like they were heading up toward El Diablo's former camp. I don't know if that has anything to do Angelita. Poor little chica." "Does Pedro still own the cafe in town?" Mike asked. "Si, maybe he can tell you more." Lupe replied. "He is heart-broken over this." "Thank you Lupe, for the information." Davy said. "And if you could do us a favor and not tell anyone we're here?" "Of course." Lupe smiled, "El Diablo's gang is no more, but some of his banditos are still around. I will stay silent." "Thanks, Lupe." Micky said. "Do you need anything done with your car?" Lupe asked. "Can you fix our air conditioner?" Peter asked, "It isn't working well." "I will check it." Lupe promised. "Thanks again, Lupe." Mike said, "We'll head over to Pedro's cafe now." "Adios, Amigos." Lupe said. The Monkees said goodbye, grabbed their bags and walked over to Pedro's cafe. It was getting toward evening and the sun was beginnng to set. A short walk brought them over to Pedro's cafe, but there was a sign that said 'closed' on the front. The four men looked at each other, then walked through the swinging doors. The place was deserted. A few seconds later, Pedro came charging out. "Can't you read, I am closed!" He shouted, then stopped short when he saw the Monkees. "El Dolenzio!" He cried, "Monkees!" He ran over and gave them a big hug. "Hello Pedro." Mike told him. "We've heard about your daughter." "Si, my poor chica. I pray she is alright. Oh it is good to see you again!" He exclaimed, "Do you have a place to stay?" "No, we just got here. Just traveling." Peter said. "I have some spare rooms you can stay in for free." Pedro said, "Come, I'll show you them." He then looked around and said quietly, "And then we can talk." To Be Continued... Lisa, formerly Larrysgirl The Glick Chick's Monkees' Lair! Last Edited By: 1bigbeatlesfan 07/17/08 2:06 AM.

Pedro lead the Monkees to the back of his cafe, where there was a flight of stairs. The five then went the stairs and ended up in a hallway. "There just small apartments, not much but to some including Angelita and myslef, we call it home," said Pedro. He took out a set of keys from his apron pocket and opened on of the doors. Pedro then invited the Monkees inside. "Very nice," said Mike. "All the comforts of home," said Peter. "Thank you boys, I apperciate your kind words," said Pedro, with a sad look on his face. "Don't worry Pedro, we'll find Angelita," said Davy. "I sure hope so, she's all I have ever since my wife, my sweet Rosa Ann is gone." Pedro sniffed, then took a tissue out of his pocket. "So, when do you start our serach for Angelita and Penn?" Micky asked. "Let's settle in our rooms first," said Mike. "I hope you boys like the place," said Pedro. "We do thank you for letting us stay," said Peter. "You're quite welcome." "And I'm sure Angelita is ok where ever she is," said Davy. "I really hope so, I told her that being with that Penn Smith would lead her to trouble. "You met Penn?" asked Micky. "Yes, and I will tell you about the first time I met him, and why that gold coin seem so important." Uh oh writer's block Mickys411 (Laura)

Posts: 249 (07/21/08 2:19 AM) Fanfic,She Wrote night owl Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Okay, I'm back! Great job, Laura! "First freshen up and then come into the kitchen." Pedro said. So the guys washed the dry Mexican dust from their hands and faces and joined Pedro in his kitchen. "Would you like something to drink?" He asked. "I have some Tequila." "Just water would be fine, Pedro." Mike said. So Pedro poured four glasses of water for the Monkees and a glass of beer for himself. They all settled around the little table. "Now, let me tell you about Penn." He said, "A few months after El Diablo was arrested, Penn showed up in town. He asked about the caves in the area, and Angelita volunteered to guide him. As a girl she liked to explore the caves, much to me and my wife's horror." "She and Penn did mention that." Micky said. "I offered him a room up here, but he mostly stayed in his camp outside town." Pedro continued, "So Angelita and I would visit him when we could and he would show us the things he had found. Mostly it was pottery and arrowheads, not much. I asked him why he stayed here when it seemed like there wasn't anything valuable." "What did he say?" Peter asked. "He showed Angelita and I some drawing of a large coin and another large object. Penn said he thinks the two were somehow connected to each other, but he wasn't sure how." "Was it a big block with wheels on top?" Mike asked. "Si, so he showed you it too?" "Yes, but he didn't know what it was." Davy said. Pedro took a sip of his beer and said, "Not long after he found the coin, I overheard Penn saying 'Maybe this will open the gates'." "What did that mean?" Micky asked. Pedro shook his head. "I asked him the same thing, and he just said he was muttering to himself. He didn't speak about it again, but Angelita told me Penn became more and more interested in that large stone object with the wheels. He studied the coin and the picture of that object, comparing the writings. I asked him what the writing meant, but all he would say is that it said 'chance'." "Doesn't make a bit of sense to me." Davy said. The other Monkees agreed. "Did Penn ever find the other large object?" Mike asked. "If he did, he never said." Pedro replied, taking another sip of his beer, "Later on, he told me he was going to take the coin to America for safe keeping while he looked for that large stone object. He invited Angelita to come with him and she agreed..." His voice trailed off. "Penn will get her back." Peter said, putting a hand on his shoulder, "That's why we had come here. To see if he needed help." "You boys took care of El Diablo, so I have no doubt you can help Penn take care of these kidnappers." Pedro smiled. Suddenly, there was a noise from the cafe below them. "What's that?" Peter whispered. Pedro rose from his chair. "Stay here, I will see what is going on." With that, Pedro left the kitchen. "Should we see what's going on?" Davy whispered. "Yeah, but's let's be quiet about it." Mike said. "And stay hidden." The Monkees quietly tiptoed out of the kitchen and followed Pedro. To Be Continued...

When they reached the cafe, the saw not only a very upset looking Pedro, but also broken glass for the windows had been smashed opened, chairs and tables fallen over and broken. The guys couldn't believe their eyes of what they were seeing. "What happened?" asked Davy. "I don't know, I found the place like this," Pedro answered. "Who could do such a horrible thing?" asked Peter. "I dodn't know," Mike simply said. Just then, Lupe entered the cafe. "Pedro, are you ok?" he asked. "Si Lupe, I was upstairs with the boys when it happened, Pedro answered, "Looks like they did some serious damage." "Has this happened before?" Micky asked. "No, never," Pedro answered. "Then someone must know we're back in town." What will happen next? Mickys411 (Laura)

What about "Montezuma's revenge"? I was thinking the same thing, Sally! Lisa and Laura, you're doing a great job with this story! I've just finally gotten caught up, and I'm hooked, so I hope you'll add more soon. I always love it when you bring back characters and situations from The Monkees series, and it's especially nice to have a bit of follow-up of what happened after their El Monotono adventure, since the tag ending for that show seems to be lost, and I always felt like we needed more "closure" on that story.

What about "Montezuma's revenge"? You're right, Sally! I think I'll change it when I post this on my website later! Thanks to everyone for their kind words, and great job, Laura! Okay now... "And told the bad guys the news." Micky said. "I think I can guess who." Mike stated. The other three Monkees looked at him and nodded. "Lupe." They said. "You're probably right." Another voice said behind them. The Monkees and Pedro jumped and turned to see Penn standing behind them, leaning against the doorframe. He was wearing his bowler hat, had his umbrella on his arm and a small canvas sack in his hand. "Penn! We were wondering where you were!" Peter exclaimed. "I thought I told you four to stay home." Penn said, ignoring Peter's comment. "Angelita's our friend too." Davy replied, "We had to try and help you." "Help me?" Penn said, "You four have complicated things. I was hoping for a simple exchange, the coin for Angelita, but by now the man who took Angelita no doubt knows you're here. He obviously sent men here looking for you." He pointed at the damage around him. "How have we complicated things?" Micky asked. Outside, the town clock rang eight. Penn looked back out the door and then back to the Monkees. "I don't have time to explain things now. Go back upstairs and stay hidden." "But Penn..." Mike said. Penn pounded the tip of his umbrella down on the floor. "Do what I say!" He shouted, "And we just might all come out of this alive!" The Monkees quickly ran back up the stairs and through the door, though they stayed just inside it. Below them, there was the sound of several men walking into the cafe, pushing away the broken furniture. "So you came on time." A man with a deep voice and a Spanish accent said. "That voice sounds familiar." Davy whispered to his friends. "Shh!" Mike whispered back. "How observant of you." Penn replied, "Where's Angelita?" "Where's the coin?" The man with the deep voice asked. "That can't be who I think it is." Davy whispered, heading toward the stairs. "Davy, get back here!" Micky whispered. "I gotta see who that man is." Davy whispered back. "I'll stay hidden." Davy crept over to the stairs, keeping his head down. Micky followed him, also keeping low. The two Monkees then peered through the railing to look at the scene down below. Their mouths dropped open when they saw who Penn was talking to: El Diablo. He still looked the same evil man as before. El Diablo still wore a beard and mustache, but instead of the lambs-wool vest and bandoliers around his broad chest, he had on a simple brown button-down shirt. A battered fedora sat on his head. "The coin is in here." Penn said, holding up his bag, "But you don't see it until I see Angelita." El Diablo motioned with his hand and two of his men brought Angelita inside. "Angelita!" Pedro cried. "Papa!" Angelita exclaimed, and tried to run to him, but El Diablo's men held her back. "Here she is, safe and sound." El Diablo smiled, "Now, let's see the coin." Penn pulled the Coin of Cookamonga out of its sack and held it up for El Diablo to see. "Here it is." Penn said, "Now let Angelita go, as we bargained." "Not so fast, Amigo." El Diablo replied, "The bargain was that you were to come alone, but one of my spies tells me some Americanos have come to town. Americanos that I know." He motioned with his hand and Lupe was shoved into the room. The bandito turned looter turned to him. "You said El Dolenzio and his friends were staying here, so where are they?" "I don't know, boss." Lupe said, shaking. "I was sure they would come here." "What are you talking about?" Penn demanded, "I came to El Monotono alone." "Did you now?" El Diablo said. "I saw their car, I know they are here. I know they are friends of Anglita, and perhaps yours too. Coincidence, eh?" "I don't know what you're talking about." Penn said calmly, "I have the coin, you have Angelita. Let's trade, and you can look for your phantom Americans later." "We will trade, Senior Penn." El Diablo said, but the price has gone up. I want El Dolenzio and that pequeno Jones as well." There was a squeaking noise above them as Micky and Davy shifted uncomfortably on the stairs. "That's not what we agreed to." Penn said quickly, hoping El Diablo didn't hear the noise. "I don't know who you're talking about." "I think you do." El Diablo replied, then looked up at the stairs behind Penn. "Get them!" He ordered, pointing at the stairs. Penn brought his umbrella down and jabbed El Diablo in the foot, then punched him in the face. Quick as a flash, Penn grabbed a broken table top and threw it at El Diablo's men, knocking them down. El Diablo quickly recovered and threw a punch at Penn, who just managed to duck in time. "Penn needs help!" Micky yelled. "We gotta get Angelita out of there!" Davy told Micky. He ran over to the wall where the chandelier rope end was tied. "Get out of here!" Penn shouted at Micky and Davy. But Davy already was untying the chandelier rope from the wall. He climbed on top of the banister. "What are you doing?" Mike shouted at him. "Don't worry, I saw this in a movie once." Davy smiled, then jumped off the railing. He gracefully swung down toward Angelita and the men holding her...who moved out of the way in time. Davy crashed into the wall. Stunned, he let go of the rope...and the chandelier fell on top of Penn, knocking him unconscious. "That's not good." Peter said. El Diablo's men started up the stairs after the other Monkees. "Let's split!" Mike shouted. "But Davy and Penn..." Micky began. "We can't help them now." Mike said, grabbing Micky's arm. "Let's go!" But Micky shoved Mike and Peter into the room and slammed the door. He then slid down the banister past El Diablo's men. They stopped and ran down the stairs after him. Micky grabbed a table leg and went after El Diablo. He swu
