Chapter 1: Hey Tiger
"I hate trains!" Ozzy grumbled as he stretched and yawned before jumping off the trash can. The morning train roared its horn as Ozzy made his way out to the ticket booth. Ozzy sat down in front the ticket booth and licked himself. Most of the townspeople came in and got their tickets and then left to go on the train. Ozzy mostly got bored easy while watching the ticket booth. He missed being on the run and stealing stuff from the humans. Since Ozzy is smaller than most cats, most humans would mistaken him for a kitten. But Ozzy wouldn't mind being called a kitten since all humans wouldn't hurt a kitten. "Ugh… I'm so bored," Ozzy groaned as he rolled around in the dirt. "Alright time to blow this popsicle stand," Ozzy said as he got up from the dirt and started to walk away from the ticket booth. Ozzy walked into town as the snow started to fall from the sky.
Ozzy spotted the boiler room as for most of the animals would hang out there and stay warm. "I guess I could stop by and see what's up," Ozzy said to himself as he hopped over to the boiler room. Ozzy stepped inside and shook off all the snow from his black and white fur. "OZZY!" said an angry Russian voice from the other side of the room. "Hey Tiger! How's it going?" Ozzy said with a chuckle. Tiger was white and orange kitten with a very bad vendetta against Ozzy. "I hope you haven't forgotten our little bet you screwed up a few years ago," Tiger said as he grabbed Ozzy by his chest. "Gee was that a few years ago I can't remember?" Ozzy said with a smile. "Cut the crap cat! I want what you owe and I want it now!" Tiger hissed. "Funny you say that Tiger. I kinda don't have what I owe you," Ozzy said with a chuckle. Tiger then slammed Ozzy against the wall of the boiler room. "Because of you I had to do A bunch of odd jobs for Kaltag and you know me and him have some bad history," Tiger hissed again.
"Alright just calm you jet's Tiger I'll get you what you need." Ozzy said putting his paws up. "Oh I sure you will… I'm going to make you pay double for what you did back then!" Tiger said with a dark smile. "Double? I don't think I can do…." Ozzy tried to speak but was cut off. "Double or nothing and if you try to run. I will find you and have you ice capped." Tiger said getting into Ozzy face. "Alright, Alright. Double or nothing I get it." Ozzy pleaded. "Good," Tiger said as he placed Ozzy down. Ozzy then brushed himself off before looking at Tiger. "So who am I boosting tonight?" Ozzy asked. Tiger chuckled as he sat down and licked his right paw. "There's a father and son who live up the hill from town. They have a very expensive blue vase that I want and the kid has dog by the name of Kodi and I want his collar." Tiger explained.
"Wait… Balto's son Kodi?" Ozzy asked. "Yeah is there a problem?" Tiger asked as he stopped licking himself. "Me and Balto are friends! I couldn't steal anything from his own son!" Ozzy pleaded. Tiger made a fist with his right paw. "You better still from Balto's son or else I'll give you something to cry about!" Tiger Threatened with his paw in front of Ozzy's face. "Alright I'll do it…" Ozzy sighed. "Good boy! Meet me in the alleyway by Smokey's bar at midnight tonight not a minute later," Tiger said as he patted Ozzy on the back. "Well then I better get to work then," Ozzy said as he bit his lip. "Good! Good! Now get out of here!" Tiger said as he picked up Ozzy by his neck and kicked him out of the boiler room. Ozzy landed in the fresh snow face first. Ozzy helped himself out of the snow and shook himself off. "You know I could have shown myself out!" Ozzy yelled. "Yeah whatever!" Tiger said as he walked back into the boiler room.
"What an ass," Ozzy said to himself as he started walking through town. "Hopefully I can get the stuff without being noticed. Ozzy said as he walked through town. Ozzy then walked by the post office and stopped and looked at it. "But if I do get caught then I hope Kodi will forgive me," Ozzy said now hanging his head down low. Ozzy then sighed before moving along and heading to his destination. "This better worth it. stealing my friends son's things." Ozzy said still with his head down low as he walked along.
Berry sat himself down on the porch while eating an apple. Things have been going a little slow since Kodi and Thomas had both left to go to Thomas's uncle's house. Just the other day Berry received a phone call from Thomas and Kodi. Sadly the phone call didn't last long since Thomas and Kodi were in the middle of nowhere. But Berry did promise to take care of Kodi's pups while he was away. Besides the babysitting and being called "uncle Berry" that he was called. Berry missed the thrills and the adventure, but life was good for the raccoon. He could eat whatever he wanted and sleep whenever he wanted if he wasn't watching the pups. He had place he could call home. "Hey kids! Time to come inside!" Dusty called in her kids from the porch. "But mom! Can we stay out a little longer?" Jack. Kodi and Dusty's oldest asked his mother.
Dusty chuckled as she shook her head. "No I'm sorry son but it's getting dark and I promised your uncle I'd give him a break." Dusty said with a smile as she looked at Berry. "Oh Dusty. You know I don't mind watching these kiddos." Berry said with a smile before finishing his apple. "I know you don't mind Berry. But I really do need these kids to come inside and off to bed," Dusty said as she sat down next to Berry. Berry chuckled at that, he loved Kodi and Dusty's kids like if they were his own. "Come on kids! Give you uncle a kiss goodnight," Dusty said as her pups charged up the steps of the porch and jumped all over Berry and licked him.
"Okay, okay." Berry said with a laugh. Dusty chuckled as she pulled away her youngest Anika from her uncle. "Goodnight uncle Berry!" all four pups said before heading inside. Berry sighed before heading inside himself. Hours later… Berry found himself restless as he laying down in the living room with all the lights off. Berry tossed and turned on the couch until finally he sat up from the couch and went into the kitchen. Berry opened the refrigerator and spotted some cold pizza. "Come to Berry," Berry said to himself as he placed his paws on the pizza box.
Meanwhile… Ozzy made it up the steps of Thomas's porch almost out of breath from his small little legs. "Tiger… Tiger didn't tell me it was this far up the hill." Ozzy said with his tongue hanging out from his mouth. After a few minutes of getting himself together, Ozzy looked into the window of the living room and found no one in sight. "Good. this will be a in an out job." Ozzy said as he jumped down from the window. Ozzy then spotted a doggie dog at the front door and found that it wasn't locked. "This is just too easy," Ozzy said with a smile as he went through the doggie door. Right away Ozzy found Kodi's old sled dog racing collar off the side of the coat rack. "Come to Ozzy," Ozzy said to himself as he jumped up from the ground and knocked down the coat rack and grabbed the collar. "There we go," Ozzy said as he place the collar around his neck.
Berry heard the something in the living room go crash as he peeked his head out from the refrigerator with a slice of pizza in his mouth. "What was that?" Berry asked himself as he took a bite from the pizza he had in his mouth. Berry then closed the refrigerator and walked into the living room. To his surprise he found a black and white cat stealing Kodi's racing collar and was about to steal Thomas's mother's blue vase. "Cat!" Berry shouted looking at Ozzy. "Coon!" Ozzy shouted as he looked at Berry. Ozzy and Berry both looked at each other for a moment before Ozzy took off without the blue vase but took off with Kodi's collar. "Hey! That's not yours!" Berry shouted as he throw his slice of pizza at Ozzy but missed.
"Great! Just great!" Berry said as he went after the black and white cat. As Ozzy went through the doggie door. Berry jumped through the doggie door and crashed into Ozzy making them both rolled down hill. Both the cat and the raccoon both crashed into each other repeating while rolling down the hill. Finally they made one final crash at the bottom of the hill in front of town. Ozzy quickly shook off the snow from his fur and raced off. Berry did the same and raced after Ozzy. "Give that back! it's not yours!" Berry shouted as he continued to chase Ozzy. "Sorry Coon! But I need it to save my life!" Ozzy shouted back as he and Berry raced down the street. Ozzy looked up at the townhall clocked and noticed it was three minutes to midnight. "I don't care! It's not yours to take!" Berry shouted as he started to get closer to Ozzy.
Ozzy turned the corner to Smokey's alleyway as was about to meet Tiger. Until Berry jumped onto Ozzy's back and made him slam his face down into the snow. "I'll take that!" Berry said as he took the collar from Ozzy. "Hey! This my job coon! Get your own collar!" Ozzy hissed. "What makes you think I was stealing this collar?" Berry asked as he got off of Ozzy. "You are a raccoon aren't you? Don't you steal things? Like to eat and stuff?" Ozzy asked. Berry laughed at that. "I do. But I don't have to do that anymore since I live with Kodi and Thomas." Berry explained as he handed out his paw to help Ozzy up. Ozzy took Berry's paw and helped himself up from the cold snow. "Oh I didn't know that," Ozzy said now understanding. "But I still need that collar buddy," Ozzy said as he handed out his paw to get that collar.
"Sorry little buddy but I can't let you have this collar." Berry firmly said as he placed the collar around his neck. Ozzy opened his mouth to say something but then was cut off by a familiar voice from the shadows. "Is there a problem here Ozzy?" Tiger said as he came out from the dark. "No, no, no Tiger there's no problem," Ozzy said forcing a smile. "Give me the collar," Ozzy whispered to Berry. "No," Berry whispered back. "Give it to me!" Ozzy whispered again. "No!" Berry whispered back again this time a little louder. "No what?" Tiger asked as Two other cats came out from the dark. "Nothing," Ozzy said again forcing another smile. "Well we wouldn't want our Raccoon friend to get hurt now would we?" Tiger asked with a dark smile. "No! I'll get you the collar just hang on." Ozzy said as he looked back at Berry. "Please give me back the collar. These aren't playing man." Ozzy pleaded. Berry shook his head before looking back at Tiger and his gang. "Sorry. But this collar is not up for grabs" Berry stood his ground.
Tiger then nodded in response. "Scratch them both!" Tiger ordered as the two other cats started taking a few steps forward getting their claws ready and hissing. "We're dead." Ozzy said as he threw his paws in the air. Even Berry took a few steps back from the two cats who ready to get the jump on them. "Give me the wallet!" shouted a man from the entrance. Ozzy and Berry both turned around and saw a man getting robbed by another man in a black hood. "I don't have any money please don't hurt me!" pleaded the man who was getting robbed. "Isn't that old William brown? The town's local fishermen " Tiger asked. "I think so," said Ozzy replied. "I said give me your wall…" (Bang!) the man in the black hood shot old man Brown and took off without quickly. The loud gunshot startled Tiger and his gang as they took off running. As Tiger raced by Ozzy and Berry. Tiger snached the collar from Berry and raced off into the darkness of the town. "Hey!" Berry shouted as he tried to chase Tiger, but he was too fast for Berry.
Berry then stopped at old man Brown's body and looked at him. Brown was fighting for his life as he placed his hand down on his gunshot wound. Berry then placed his paws on the wound to keep it from bleed more. "Hey Ozzy or whatever you name is go get some help!" Berry ordered. Ozzy stood next to Berry frozen in fear. "Hey focus!" Berry shouted making Ozzy jump five feet from the ground. "Help! Right!" Ozzy said as he took off to the police station. "Come on man stay with me." Berry said still keeping his paws on the wound. But after a few minutes, old man Brown had past away from a gunshot wound. Murdered in cold blood by a man in a black hood. This was going to be a long night for both Berry and Ozzy.
