That morning, Yuka went off to protect herself. She bought security items at Crazy Redd's Furniture Emporium. Then, she hired her neighbor, Chuck the bull, as a bodyguard. "You ARE paying me, right?"
"As first duty as my bodyguard, you must set up all my security devices," Yuka told him.
"I'm supposed to protect you, not do your chores!"
"Well, I'll be off to Pinetown in the meantime," said Yuka, ignoring him.
"Aren't you worried about Rover?" asked Chuck.
"Of course not! Copper said he couldn't get on the train!"
"But Copper also said that he couldn't come to Pinesville. Why are you brave enough to go on the train, but scared enough to hire me as a bodyguard?"
"The nice thing about you hicks is that it's easy to ignore you," said Yuka, walking up to the station. She was soon on the train. A cat approached her, but it wasn't Rover. It was a girl cat, Blanca, and she didn't have a face!
"My name's Blanca. Can I sit here?"
"You don't have a face!" gasped Yuka.
"Oh dear, it came off again! Could you draw me a good one?"
Yuka got an evil look. She took out a pen and wrote "kick me" on Blanca's face!
"I don't have a mirror with me, so I'll assume it's a good face."
"Oh, it is!" laughed Yuka.
"Thank you, Yuka." Blanca got up and walked away, with the occasional kick from a passenger.
"Wait!" said Yuka. "How did she know my name?"
So Yuka went through Pinetown, forgetting all about Blanca. But as she was looking at the fish in the town museum, she saw another cat. And it wasn't Blanca...as Yuka gazed into the fish tank, Rover swam by. "Well, well, well! If it isn't Yuka!"
Yuka stepped back, wishing she was armed with an axe or something. "Rover! Get away from me!"
Rover climbed out of the tank, and with a demented look on his face, stepped towards Yuka. "Our good friend, Officer Copper, was a bit vague on the law. I'm not on the train, and not in Pinesville. I'm not anywhere I shouldn't be. But you...you're right where I want you..."
"Not anymore!" Yuka ran out of the museum into the snow. The museum was in a remote area, so no one saw her. Yuka saw a house in the distance and thought she was in the clear...until she fell into a pitfall in the snow. She started to climb out, but Rover was upon her in a second, holding a shovel. With some quick scoops, Yuka was buried in the snow up to her neck, unable to escape.
"Don't think that I didn't plan this little meeting!" he said. "I knew you'd be stupid enough to come back to Pinetown! Now to finish what I started."
"I'll freeze out here!" cried Yuka.
"I'll give you one last chance to be nice to me!"
"Why should I be nice to a psycho like you!"
"Ouch," said Rover. "This is gonna hurt me more than it will hurt you." Rover raised his shovel and hit Yuka in the head with it, knocking her out. "Wow, I was wrong! That didn't hurt me at all!"
I'll say it right now...I'm sorry for Rover's stupid joke. However, this isn't the end of the story! There's more evil cat fun coming up!
