Pad. Pad. Pad. A cat was walking through the forest. "Huh?" he said. He had detected the sound of another cat padding over to him...who? No one was supposed to be out here on this night...
Except for the night patrol.
Oh, fox dung.
He ran. He ran, all right.
And then the patrol caught up...
Duskclaw, Sunbeam, Wildleap, and Waterpaw.
Oh no. Not Sunbeam.
Sunbeam was obsessed with stuff like this. He'd make sure that he was caught.
"Hey, what're you doing here?" Sunbeam said.
"Nothing." the cat replied casually back.
"Why should I believe you?"
Oh...no. Sunbeam was getting suspicious.
"I was just taking a night walk..."
"Then why do you have a bunch of prey next to you?"
"..."
"YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HUNT FOR YOURSELF WITHOUT PERMISSION!"
"Er..."
Waterpaw broke in. "Duskclaw says we should take him back to camp and tell Shimmerstar."
"No." Sunbeam said. "For now, I think, we should let it go. If any patrols find you again, we'll make sure that Shimmerstar knows."
The cat was relieved. But he would have to be very careful from now on...
