"Howdy." Deputymon said politely, "From the looks on your faces, I just flushed your favorite hat down the toilet. What's the story?"
"We got put in the jail for doing nothing by your partner, Starmon." Rikumon explained.
"Where's your justice?" Ashi asked.
"Yeah, that's all there is in here, just us!" Veemon snapped, "Now let's see it, where's your Dark Ring, Deputy?!" Deputymon gasped, highly affronted.
"See for yourself, I don't got a Dark Ring!" Deputymon said, taking off his hat and brandishing his smooth black head towards them, "Nobody controls me, not even myself!"
"There's no Dark Ring." Canimon confirmed.
"Right toe, you varmints." Deputymon said, showing them the whole in his sock.
"What?" Tara asked, looking very confused, then disgusted as Deputymon began to remove the rest of his clothes.
"We're sorry to be so suspicious, Deputymon," Yolei said apologetically, "But yourself in our boots."
"There, ya see any Rings, now?" Deputymon asked. The group gasped as they saw he had no clothes on. It seemed only Tara had noticed and had the brains to turn away. The rest of the group covered their eyes.
"There go my virgin eyes!" Ashi cried.
"Oops, sorry, got carried away." Deputymon said, grabbing his clothes and putting them back on.
"We didn't see a thing!" Yolei assured him, peeking through her fingers to see if it was okay to look, "Deputymon, are you here to keep us in jail or set us free?"
"No need to fret, ladies, soon you'll be free." Deputymon said, belting his pants.
"YAY!" The entire group stood and cheered and then began to laugh with relief.
"'Course, I'm only taking the girls." Deputymon added.
"Huh?" They turned to stare at him.
"I need card players," Deputymon exclaimed, "But not boys because they cheat."
"They what?" Davis inquried.
"Did I mention I don't even cheat at solitare?" Veemon piped up.
"Only the women-folk and that's final." Deputymon said.
"Didn't you ever hear "women, children, and digimon first"?" Aramdillomon asked.
"Can't you find it in your heart to let us all go just for the fun of it?" asked Cody.
"Come on, ladies only. Let's go." Deputymon said, ignoring them. He opened the cell and waited expectantly, "What is this, a petrified desert? Let's go!"
"But we're not boys!" Hawkmon and Biyomon cried.
"What?" Tara asked again, beginning to suspect that the company that edit the show had no clue what they were doing on some issues.
"Move!" Deputymon snapped.

Soon after, Deputymon had loaded all of the girls into his carriage. Ashi, Tara, Sora, and Yolei were smashed together in the back while Deputymon clambered to the top.
"Giddyup!" He called to the horse, snapping the reins. The horse whinied and took them away.

Shortly after, Starmon came into the room, humming to himself. The two boys huddled together in the center of the cell, hoping he wouldn't notice that most of the cell was empty.
"Time for my lunch break." Starmon announced, pulling open a drawer in his desk to reveal a parceled lunch with a sticker of the Digimon's Emperor's head on it and "love" written beneath it, "Being evil sure works up an apetite. And after lunch, a nap, so I can be my mean old self again." He chuckled and turned to the cell.
"What?! They're gone!" He shouted as he saw the broken locks twisting aroudn the door. Davis floated to the front of the cage.
"Deputymon freed the girls." He explained in a dull voice, "He says boys cheat at cards."
"I'm sure they're enjoying some delicious snacks right now." Cody said in an equally dull voice. Starmon shouted something unintelligible and ran out of the room.
