Dudley peeked over the office wall at Kitty. She was thoroughly absorbed in typing on her computer and didn't notice her partner staring at her.
"Kitty. Hey Kitty!" Dudley whispered.
Kitty looked up. "What Dudley? I'm working." she explained.
Dudley walked around into her cubicle. "Can we go? Huh can we go Kitty?" he asked, bouncing up and down excitedly.
Kitty shook her head. "I just said I'm working! Maybe later." she turned around and went back to typing.
Dudley groaned loudly. "Fine! I'll ask Keswick!" he stomped across the room and spied through Keswick's office window. He was talking to the female robot he had built for himself nearly a year ago, even though it never responded to his many compliments. Dudley pounded on the door, making Keswick jump.
"Go away I'm busy!" Keswick yelled trying to hide the robot behind his back.
Dudley moaned. "Why is everyone busy? This is important! Kitty won't take me Keswick!" he whined.
Keswick said nothing and Dudley looked down. He sighed. There was no one else willing to go out of the agency but the Chief, and Dudley did not prefer to spend a great deal of time with him. He walked back to where Kitty was sitting.
He got down on his knees. "Oh please Kitty? Please? Can't you take your break now?"
Kitty exhaled and stood. "Alright. But I'm not driving you around the block for an hour just so you can stick your head out the window. Ten minutes alright?" she said grabbing her keys out of her desk drawer.
Dudley hopped up and constricted Kitty in a tight hug. "Yes! I love you Kitty! You are the best partner ever!" he let her go. "Well sometimes...Like right now! And that time you brought me a steak for my birthday! And the time -"
Kitty sighed and began walking, her rambling partner right behind her.
(West Baker Street, Petropolis. 1:13 pm)
Dudley's tongue flopped out of his mouth as he sniffed the cold air. So many different smells all at once! The smell of catnip, freshly laid out dog biscuits, and warm milk flooded up his nostrils. Kitty, on the other hand, was shivering. She ruffled up her fur the best she could but it did little to keep her warm.
When she spoke, her teeth were chattering and you could see her breath. "Dudley please roll up the window!" she pleaded.
Dudley didn't seem to hear her. He was too preoccupied with how his tongue had frozen to the side of his face. "Kitteh look at meh tongue!" he yelled half laughing. "Awesome right?"
Kitty parked back in front of T.U.F.F. and got out of the car. "Come on Dudley. Your ten minutes are up."
Dudley refused to get out of the car. "No! Just ten more minutes!" he begged.
Kitty shook her head. "I'm sorry Dudley but I have to get back to work." a cold wind blew through the parking lot. Kitty rubbed her arms and headed for the front door, but stopped. The elderly elephant secretary Lisa was pasting a poster to the wall next to the doors.
Lisa finished and turned around. She smiled. "Good morning Miss Katswell!" she said in a very chipper voice for her age. She pointed to the poster. "Great job sending that crook back to jail. Well I must run. I have many more of these to post around the city." Lisa picked up a stack of posters from the ground along with her can of paste and strode off.
Kitty examined the poster and shook her head. The crook that Lisa had referred to was Jack Rabbit, a former T.U.F.F. agent with unbelievable stamina and charm. He was Kitty's former partner and had betrayed her trust later by trying to use her to get top secret information. Just recently he had called her because he had gotten out of prison, but she never heard what he said. Dudley had listened to the message on her answering machine and switched brains with her using one of Keswick's latest inventions. He then posed as her throughout the day to try and stop whatever Jack was plotting, but fell victim to his superior charm and led him back to the Agency. Kitty had been knocked out, and if she hadn't woken up Jack would have made off with information on all of T.U.F.F.'s active duty agents.
Kitty reached up and tore the poster down. She hated seeing reminders of her former partner. Dudley hopped out of the car and ran to Kitty's side. His tongue was still frozen and hung awkwardly to one side.
"What are you doing Kitteh?" he asked trying to mold his tongue in a different position.
Kitty blinked. "Nothing. I'm fine." she pushed the door open.
Dudley narrowed his eyes. "Hey I didn't ask if you were fine." he thought a moment and gasped. "Is it your birthday again? You always get catty on your birthday!" he laughed. "Catty! Ha!"
Kitty entered one of the elevators with Dudley and selected their floor. She stood in silence as she reflected on what Jack had done. He had betrayed T.U.F.F. to work for Snaptrap, as he paid the rabbit a great deal of money. She narrowed her eyes. Jack had always been a good agent...possibly the best agent T.U.F.F. had ever seen.
The elevator reached the floor and Dudley ran to the snack machine drooling the whole way. Kitty strode back to her cubicle and unrolled the poster to examine it more closely. 'Jack Rabbit. This T.U.F.F. agent gone bad had recently escaped from the Petropolis Prison but was caught by two active duty T.U.F.F. agents by the names of Dudley Puppy and Kitty Catswell. He has been tried in court and put back behind bars. His criminal employer, Verminious Snaptrap, is still at large. If you have any information on this criminal's whereabouts then please alert your local police or a T.U.F.F. official.'
Kitty sat back, crumbled up the poster, and threw it in her waste basket. She knew that Jack was a criminal, but she wasn't sure if he belonged in jail. Dudley trotted by and lay down on the floor, chewing a piece of rawhide he had bought for fifty cents from the vending machine. Kitty swallowed and watched her drooling partner enjoy himself. He wasn't going to like what she was about to do, but he didn't have to know about it. She turned back around and resumed her work on the computer. It was time she had a talk with Jack.

Hey hoped you liked the first chapter. Please review and tell me what you think! Jack will play a huge role because I had a question about that. Uh...Oh yah! I also had a question asking me to order my favorite villains. They would go like this: 1) Jack Rabbit, 2) Bird Brain, 3) Chameleon, 4) Snaptrap. (I also really love Bird Brain's minions. They are HISTERICAL!) Hoped that answered your questions!
