“Technically, you're right, but
who did the original robbing to begin
with? The banks. I personally think
it's wrong? Two wrongs don't make a
right, as the expression I think goes,
but this was going on long before I was
born,” she said, and then shook her paw
at us, “and don't forget, that makes
all of you an accessory. Or, you can
just give the many back. That's your
choice.”
While everyone was expressing
their opinions about the money, I saw a
worried look on Pee Wee’s face and went
over to talk to him.
“What do you think, Wee?”
He looked at me conflicted, “I
don't know, Crim. I really don't know.
One part of me, wants to keep it, but
another part doesn't want to go to
jail either.”
“What if we pretend we don't
believe her. Think about this for a
minute, Wee,” I said, holding my hand
up.
“Before today, would you believe
someone when they told you a talking
Cat gave them money on a debit card,
and that money was from a bank robbery
that was committed by two other talking
Cats? Come on dude, you yourself told
me that talking Cats were impossible.”
“Well, I do have to admit that I
had serious doubts. Hell, I didn’t
believe you for a minute, but now...
that's a good point actually.”
The Cat was now addressing that
very point, “They set-up an Investment
Corporation in Delaware that does most
of its business on one of the small
islands off the coast of South America
somewhere. I can't remember the name.
They also bought the island, and the
residents now pay a small percentage of
the rent they used to pay.
They also all work for that same
Investment Corporation, and they all
make good money too.
“Even with all that expense, the
corporation still makes a load of a
money, especially during the tourist
season. It's all legal. You’re all
listed as Consultants, and you'll also
be getting the proper tax forms at the
end of the year. I suggest you use
them. Getting a lawyer would also be a
good idea,” the Cat said, looking
directly at me.
Getting tax and financial advice
from a talking Cat, at four in the
morning, was not something I could’ve
ever imagined doing, even if I let my
fantasies run wild for a million years.
