“No problem,” She said, and then  
laughed. "That's funny, your number    
spells out 'fuck you'."                
     "What?" I checked it out. It was  
true. "That is funny," and we all      
laughed, and then I got serious again. 
     "Anyway, we got to go."           
     I put the Cat in the backpack, and
that was a lot easier to say, than do. 
She wanted to go in, but her paws      
wouldn't cooperate.                    
     Beth started petting her softly,  
and she relaxed, and then went right in
the bag.                               
     "That was good, honey bun," I said
while zipping the bag closed.          
     "I can see why this Cat doesn’t   
like you."                             
     "You tell him, Beth," the Cat said
from inside the bag.                   
*      "Please Cat, no more comments       
until we get out of here," I told her. 
“I promise to tell you when it’s all   
clear.”                                
     "I'll think about it," was the    
last thing she said, until we were     
almost out the building, and to say bye
to Amy.                                
     After that, we got the hell out of
there.                                 
     As we walked by the security      
enclosure, I waved to Axel, and Beth   
showed him the ring. He gave her a     
thumbs-up, and I gave him the pantomime
for, "I'll call you."                  
     He gave me a stern, "you'd better"
look, and we were almost out of there, 
when the Cat screamed from the bag,    
"GOODBYE SHITHEADS!!"
