Mungojerrie knocked on the big wooden door. "Come in." He heard from inside the room. Mungojerrie walked protectively in front of the Queens as they walked inside. "Mungojerrie… I see you do your job very well." Macavity said. Mungojerrie nodded full with confidence. "Let me see the Queens, please." Macavity said. Mungo stepped aside, but stayed close to them. "Rumpleteazer?" Macavity asked. She wanted to ran away but was stopped by a guard. Mungojerrie looked puzzled between Macavity and the struggling Queen. "Let me go!" Rumpleteazer growled and swiped at the guard. The guard threw her to Mungojerrie who could catch her on time. "Do you know her?" Mungo asked as he helped Teazer back on her legs, but didn't let her go. "Yes, she was a worker for me, one of the best burglars I ever had, just like you. At one day she got attacked by Pollicles and we thought she was dead." Macavity answered. Mungojerrie looked at Teazer questioning. She sighed. "Alright, Alright, I'll tell you. I survived it, a few humans brought me to someone who took care of me. Once I was recovered I went upon the streets. It went quite well until one of your catnappers came around." Rumpleteazer said angry. The other Queens looked quite puzzled. Macavity started to circle around Teazer. "I was looking for a nice Queen and I think I found her." Mac said and slapped Teazer 's butt. Rumple wanted to hit him but Macavity grabbed her and threw her back to Jerrie and the Queens. "Pig!" Rumpleteazer yelled. Macavity ran to her, claws unsheathed, but Mungojerrie stood protectively in front of Rumpleteazer and the other Queens. "Macavity, she already worked for you so you have no reason to use her this way too. She has been through a lot of things, just let her go." Jerrie said pressing. Macavity looked at him. "Alright, but you know what I do with the Queens I don't use…" Macavity asked and raised an eyebrow. Mungojerrie shocked at the sight of Teazer being ripped into pieces by Pollicles. "I don't think she'll survive them now." Macavity continued. Rumpleteazer looked shocked at Mungojerrie. "Macavity, I've got an suggestion." Jerrie said. "Alright, tell me." Macavity said. "You let Rumpleteazer go and I'll stay for 2 more years." Mungo said. Rumpleteazer looked at Jerrie surprised. Macavity thought a few seconds. "Only if she joins you." Macavity said. Mungojerrie looked at Rumpleteazer who nodded scared. "Alright." Mungo said and shook Macavity 's paw. The other Queens looked terrified. Mungojerrie sighed. "Is there a way to save them?" Jerrie asked and looked at Bomba, Dem and Cherry. "Well, I can keep all of them as prisoners and use them whenever I want until you've got enough jewels to pay them off." Macavity said. "How much jewels?" Rumpleteazer asked. "What about their weight in jewels?" Macavity asked, but it wasn't a question. Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer nodded and brought the Queens back to their cell. The two cats stayed inside to chat.

"But where are you going to sleep?" Cherry asked Rumpleteazer. "I don't know. I think I'll stay with you guys." Teazer answered shrugging. "You don't have to. I'll set up a bed in my room in this building." Mungojerrie said smiling. "But what about them?" Rumpleteazer asked worried. "I'm going to bring some stuff for you like blankets and pillows from my room." Mungojerrie said simply. "Does Macavity approve that?" Demeter asked scared. "I don't know but I'm a caretaker and I'm going to do everything to get all of you comfortable." Mungojerrie said and stood up. Rumpleteazer smiled at him proudly. "Really everything?" Bomba asked and smiled at him flirty again. Rumpleteazer and Cherry started to laugh but Demeter didn't like it. "You don't like him fooling around with the Queens, but you're the one who's fooling around!" Demeter said and Mungojerrie turned red. Because of Jerrie 's face Rumpleteazer and Cherry laughed even more. Bomba looked at her sister and bit her lip ashamed.

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were in their room. They were setting up Teazer 's bed and they just brought a few pillows and some blankets to the other Queens. "Thanks for everything today." Rumpleteazer said as they finished. They settled down on their own bed and curled up. "It's okay. I know how hard it is to be a worker for him and I couldn't imagine what he'll do to you if you were his play-thing." Jerrie said sad. Rumpleteazer smiled a little sadly and nodded frightened. "So, What's your story?" Mungojerrie asked her curious. "When I was a kitten my mother was killed by one of Macavity 's workers and they took me away. Macavity started training me and I became one of his best thieves." Rumpleteazer explained sad. Mungojerrie looked at her caring. "Do you... Miss your mother?" He asked carefully, but still caring. "Yea, I do." Rumple answered sadly. Mungojerrie looked at the ground. "But how did you get involved with Macavity?" Rumpleteazer tried to ask happier. Mungojerrie looked up. "Well, I always was stealing when I was younger, I came from the streets too. Macavity had heard of me too and one day he caught me when I was stealing. He took me here and he kept my mother as a prisoner. He said if I didn't join them he would kill her. Of course I had to agree… He released my mother and I had to work for him." Mungojerrie explained. "Did you ever saw your mother again?" Rumpleteazer asked. "Well, after she was released I almost couldn't get out of the building, only when I was stealing. One time I went back at our alley, but she wasn't there anymore… I don't think she's killed, tough… I think she left and started a new life somewhere else." Mungojerrie answered. Rumpleteazer nodded. "And what about your dad?" Mungo asked. "I don't know, he took off when he found out my mother was pregnant… Stupid Toms… And yours?" Rumpleteazer asked him. "He was killed by a Pollicles a few months after I was born." Jerrie said sadly. Now it was Teazer 's turn to look down. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't asked it." She said quietly. "I don't mind. You couldn't know it." Jerrie said and smiled at her. Rumpleteazer smiled back. "I think we better should get some sleep if we wanna go stealing tomorrow." Jerrie said. "Yea, I think you're right." Teazer sighed and they both curled up. "Goodnight." Jerrie said quietly. "Goodnight." Rumpleteazer said quietly too.

When Mungojerrie woke up Rumpleteazer wasn't in her bed. Damn! That son of a Peke took her away last night! If Macavity even touched her I'll kill him! He thought angry. He walked outside the room and saw a worker of Macavity. "Excuse me, have you seen a Queen? She looks like me only a little shorter, lighter and… Prettier." Mungojerrie said laughing and the Tom laughed a little. "No, sorry. Isn't it a little dumb to take your mate to Macavity… You know, with the plaything thing?" The worker asked. "Oh, no. We aren't mated." Mungojerrie said and laughed a little. The Tom blushed a little ashamed. "Oh, sorry. But still, a queen here isn't smart." He said. "Yea, I know what you mean." Mungojerrie said and thought of the day before, at Macavity 's room. Jerrie looked up and ran away. The worker watched him running, puzzled.
