J.J's POV

I walked into the Lost and Found to see what I can get for, Ivory because it's his birthday tomorrow.

I hopped into one of the toy boxes and looked around. I found one of those ducks with wheels so, when you drag it by the string, it follows you as you walk. I picked it up and hopped out of the box.

As I was going down the hallway, I heard a noise in the back room of the hall. I flipped around, my fur on end. "Hello?" I called.

No Answer.

I backed up slowly towards the door. I heard the noise again. It sounded like someone was banging their head against a door. I started to shake a little.

I walked slowly down the hall to the door and opened it, the sound getting louder.

I walked down the stairs and when I got to the lower room, I saw a rat. He was throwing a ball at the steel wall. He just sat there in the middle of the floor, talking to himself.

I was too far to turn back now. I hid behind a shipping crate and poked my head out a bit. The rat was now laughing like some kind of pshyco!

Then, the Rat and I both heard a noise. It came from a different corner of the room.

I saw a flash of black and white hop out from behind a crate on the other side of the room and there landed...

Rico.

The rat got up and started to back away from, Rico. I saw that the rat was just a child.

"Ah! Who are you?" The young rat said in fear. His voice was high pitched, I could tell he was younger than me.

Rico growled at the boy.

The rat started shaking. "P-Please don't hurt me! I'm sorry if I made too much noise! I didn't think any one else was here!"
the rat cried.

Rico ignored the kid's pleads and regurgitated a knife.

The young rat squeaked in fear and started shaking violently as swarms of tears ran down his face "N-N-No! Please! I'll do anything you want!" The rat sobbed. The poor thing could barely talk, he was so scared.

Was Rico really going to kill an innocent child? I was too afraid to move or understand what was really going on here.

The rat got on his knees and folded his paws. "Please! Please Don't kill me!" he sobbed.

Rico held up the knife.

"No! Sto-"

It was too late. The rat was killed. Rico killed an innocent child!

Rico dropped the knife and looked over his shoulder. He saw me!

I completely froze. "Rico!" I gasped.

Rico gasped as well. He picked up the knife and then started running towards me!
