Prologue-

Sid finally squeezed his bulk through the tight grille on the side of Kensington Place, and groaned, cracking his back. It was well worth the trouble. The cat population at his former home had gotten out of control--too much for any self-respecting rat. No everlasting supply of food is worth that!

"So long, cats! Free at last!" Sid exclaimed, dashing off down the street as three slugs just over the grille crooned "I'm free/ to do what I want/ any ol' time"...

Only, where to go now? Sid realized that he really had nowhere else to go, except the sewer. He shuddered; he had no desire to go back to the grind. Unless...

He could always look up Roddy! Whatever would make him leave a catless Kensington for the sewer must at least be interesting.

"Well, then, we'll see what Rodsy's gotten up to!" Sid said, beginning to hunt for the nearest gutter.
