Axel gave me a, "What's that all  
about," look, and I thought fast, and  
turned to Beth, "and that's what your  
mother told me last night when I called
her with the good news."               
     Beth played right along, "No, I   
can't believe it. My Mom wouldn't do   
that," and Axel finally gave us the get
out of here sign and buzzed us out.    
     The door closed behind us, and we 
were out.                              
     We'd done it. We’d Cat-napped a   
talking Cat. Try saying that really    
fast, five times, or even just twice.  
     We then, literally, ran for the   
car, and the back door opened. We tried
to dive in like normal people but      
failed miserably.                      
     Once we got in, I said, "Go, go,  
go."                                   
*      And Pee Wee went, went, went,       
while Beth texted Rhonda to give them a
heads up.                              
     We back-tracked to where we’d     
dropped them off.                      
     A couple minutes later, they      
ducked out of the shadows and walked   
towards the car in a leisurely, didn't 
have a care in the world look.         
     Mouse got out, Rhonda jumped into 
the front seat, and Darryl into the    
back.                                  
     Once the doors closed, I decided  
it’d be safe to open the bag, and      
AmyStrange jumped out.                 
     Mouse and Rhonda were in the front
seat and turned around to look. Pee Wee
put the car in park, turned on the     
overhead and adjusted the rear-view    
mirror.
