This one is a short chapter peoples. I know you guys have suggested a beta and I will look into it more, but for now I'll just stick with the way I'm going, but don't think I don't appreciat it, because I do! Thank you very much!


It was strange, quiet and boy did it reek of urine! I'd smelled some disgusting things but they could at least learn to go to the bathroom in one spot instead of any old place! I was in pain, and trying to keep my mind off of it of course, why else would I be thinking of urine? My fur was standing on end as I sniffed around the dark warehouse. I was afraid, no, terrified. One, I had no idea were I was going, two, I could meet up with more strays, three, well the urine again. I shook my head as I kept moving, my large ears perked as I traveled on.

The hallway was creepy. Many doors were on either side of me and the white painted walls were chipped and scratched from cats sharpening there claws. There was no light, for all electricity had been cut off from this building a long time ago and now it was empty and dark. The air was thick and it seemed hard to breath, she wasn't exactly sure why it was, but it was very annoying. I squinted my eyes as I saw one of the doors was slightly cracked. I raced forth, but stopped, I had no idea what was in this room and I couldn't take chances. I peaked in, nudging the door open with a paw. I couldn't see very much, it seemed just like another dark room. But as I angled my ears forth I could here slight sounds of conversation. I pushed door open more and a loud squeak came from it and I instantly pulled my paw back. The voices stopped and I froze. Great! Just great! I was dead meat now!

I backed up and my eyes darted left to right before I scuttled as fast as I could towards the left, where more doors were. Then suddenly I heard a sound, a voice and my eyes opened wide. It was a good sound. It sound almost like. Jemima!

"Tabis? Tabis, are you okay?"

"What? Am I okay? Am I okay? Are you okay?" I shouted, well, I guess I really didn't shout, I sort of whispered, can't have anyone finding out I some how beat there awesome leader and am now trying to help a Jellicle cat and a Doberman Pincher to there freedom from a disgusting and dark ware house smelling of Urine. Well, that was a lot.

"You won't believe this! Com'ere!" She said, slipping into the door I'd walked away from earlier. I leapt after her, wondering what it was. Hesitantly, I nudged the door open more and followed the other kitten into the dark room. For some reason it smelled better, and that was a relief, but still, I wasn't taking to many deep breaths.

"Look."She said simply, pointing to something.

There was a large wooden crate looking thing at the far side of the room, and I stared. It couldn't be, it was, oh my god. He was alive! My Drake was alive! I leapt over to the huge black beast and rubbed up against him. His fur was dried with blood, but I didn't care, he was alive! Alive! I smiled and gave him a lick on the nose, while he blinked at me and said the best thing I'd heard in a long time.

"Tabis? Tabis the Tabby, its you. You found me." His voice was all soft and that all that nice stuff, I swear I was about to cry, but held it back. Then a voice interrupted from a few feet away.

"Hate to break it up, but I think we'd better be going. This place is a lot more dangerous than what we originally thought, Tabis." Her voice was urgent as she went on to explain. "Davrik doesn't run his own group like you said he used too. Macavity must have made him a deal or something, but this is now part of Macavity's hideout and some more of his henchcats might be coming to check on us any minute!"

I guessed that was a good reason to get going. I looked to Drake and was surprised to see him stand and walk from the crate easily, it hadn't exactly been blocked or anything. His wounds seemed to have healed, but there were many and I whispered. "The Carston's are gonna kill us." I blinked, looking straight at his wounds.

He just snorted and headed slowly towards the door. I noticed he limped and winced slightly and waited for Jemima to slip out the door till I went after then. Part of the mission was complete: Find Drake. Now we needed to find our way back to the junkyard and get in undetected, well at least hope that Munkustrap wasn't around. Boy would that be hard! I just hoped that he wouldn't be so fast to jump to conclusions, and at least this time I'm not stuck up a tree. Maybe he got a concussion from being chased by a three legged Rottweiler and then hit a cement wall and ran into a steel–

"Tabis! TABIS!"

Oops, or maybe he just won't be there.


Real short, told ya! Review please!
