Well he could... No way. There was no way that they'd fall for that...
Then again... Knowing Britanny and Brianna's combined attentions spans being equal to that of a child with ADD... Maybe...
And so, Dao decided to go with the oldest trick in the book.
"LOOK OUT!" The Djinni screamed in horror. "THERE'S SOMETHING BEHIND YOU!"
Dao blinked his eyes. He couldn't believe that the three had fallen for it! He was about to high-tail it out of there, when a voice spoke up...
"Yes, very observant of you Dao," came the male voice, one that seemed to command respect.
Dao blinked his eyes once, then twice. Dr. and Mrs. Diggers had returned home... And early too. Dao let out a sigh of relief. Maybe they could keep the girls distracted long enough for him to rub like a scared dog with its tail between its legs...
...Until they revealed they had just heard the whole conversation.
"Excuse me girls," Julia said seriosuly, "But what do you mean Dao were the last person to talk to Ranma before he..." Julia winced, "Disappeared?"
Dao chuckled nervously. "So you heard that?"
"Yes Dao," Theo said, "And from what we heard, it does sound like you're involved in Ranma's sudden disappearance in some way, if not responsible for it."
Dao whimpered as he saw Theodore begin to go into his Flaming Skull of Death mode. And this one was looking overly-pissed, especially if the size of the flames were any indication.
"Dao," Julia began as she stood by her husband, unphased by the flames he was covered in, "I demand to know what you know about this, lest I let my steel do the talking for me," Julia finished as she started to unsheathe a sword.
Dao looked back and forth between the two older Diggers. Hmm... He could either be fried like a pig of a spit of be sliced like a Christmas hand. Neither of those options were appealing to the Djinni. Too much pork involved.
But back to the matter at hand... Everyone was staring at HIM! And there were two people there that could kick his orange Djinni butt from there to kingdom come!
There was only one thing Dao could do...
