Chapter 5 - Betrayed

Mr. Tinkles POV

"Umm, where are we?", I asked Kitty Galore. Since D.O.G.S. came to the warehouse, we've been wandering aimlessly around the city.

"I don't know", Kitty Galore answered, "do you think we should go back?".

I scoffed, "and run back to that husky?", I asked, "not a chance".

"He's the one that had the plan for our revenge", Kitty Galore said, "unless, you have a plan".

"Of course I have a plan!", I exclaimed, "what kind of an evil cat would I be, if I didn't have a plan?".

"One that's lost in the city", Kitty Galore answered.

I sighed, "you're right", I said, "I don't have a plan".

"Hmm, what can we do?", Kitty Galore asked, "what if, we-".

"Give the dogs around the world tons of fleas and the humans will cast them out!", I shouted.

Kitty Galore just looked at me like I was crazy, which I am, "that's the stupidest plan, I've ever heard", she said.

"Fine then!", I snapped, "if you've got something better, then let me hear it!".

"We mind control the dogs and have them attack their owners", Kitty Galore said.

"Need I remind you...that you already tried that!", I shouted.

"Look at you", a voice echoed through the streets, "still bickering about everything I see".

"Is that you, husky?", I asked, "show yourself!".

Mark stepped out of the darkness of an alleyway, "I see you're doing alright", he said, "after you left me to fight those agents by myself".

"You seemed to do fine", I said, "why does it matter?".

"You may think you can just betray anyone, Tinkles", Mark growled, "but the last thing you want to do is betray me".

Suddenly, we were blinded by a spotlight, "there they are!", a voice shouted from above, then we heard the familiar zip of a zipline and we were surrounded by both cats and dogs. "Mark's here too, get him!", another voice shouted.

Mark backed up into the darkness of the alleyway and when the spotlight illuminated it, he was gone. "Where'd he go?", the first voice asked.

"Don't know, but we got these two", the second voice answered, "let's bag 'em and go".

Kitty Galore and I were cuffed and taken up into their transport, then we shot like a bullet towards their base. "Damn that Mark", I muttered, "he betrayed us".

"Actually we betrayed him first", Kitty Galore corrected.

"You're both wrong", one of the cats said, "Mark used you to distract us and work for their plan, so his companions could steal information on both D.O.G.S. and M.E.O.W.S.".

I opened my mouth to argue, but then I got to thinking, "Mark convinced me to come back for my revenge", I muttered, "I was happy in the tropics until that husky came by!".

"Keep it down", Kitty Galore muttered, "I'm wallowing in my self-pity".

"What self-pity?!", I asked.

"Because I let that husky pull the wool over my eyes!", Kitty Galore shouted, "that self-pity!".

"I was alright in that prison", Kitty Galore muttered, "you know, free food, free exercise, you name it".

"I was enjoying my freedom in the tropics", I muttered, "I didn't care about taking over the world, even Calico forgave me for betraying him...I wonder where he is now".

"Back in the tropics being watched by D.O.G.S.", one of the dogs said.

I scoffed, "figures", I said, "I bet he's sitting in my lawn chair too".

The transport slowed down and I heard a clunk outside, meaning we've landed, then the doors opened up. Kitty Galore and I were herded out of the transport and we found ourselves in M.E.O.W.S., "what are we doing here?", I asked.

"Figuring out what to do with you two", a cat answered, "that's what".

They herded us into the main building and down a hallway to a cell, "you'll stay here until we figure out what to do with you two", the cat said, then locked us in the cell.

"Well, this is just great!", I exclaimed, "first we were lost, then Mark was about to kill us, and now we're trapped in stupid cell!".

"Can you keep it down?", a female voice asked, "I'm trying to get some sleep here".

I looked through one of the holes in the side wall and saw a black and white husky laying in another cell. "Who are you?", I asked.

"Skye", she answered.

"Oh, well, I'm-", I started, but was cut off.

"...Mr. Tinkles", Skye finished, "I know all about you, you're world renowned in the dog world".

"What are you in here for?", I asked.

"I've been here for so long that I don't remember", Skye said.

"How long have you been here for?", I asked.

"A little over a year", Skye answered, "these cats are too lazy to take care of me".

"Hey!", I exclaimed, "I'm not lazy, I came quite close to taking over the world!".

"Okay, calm down", Kitty Galore said, "think we can help each other out?".

"How?", Skye asked.

"I can get us out of these cells, but we need help to get out of the building", Kitty Galore explained.

Skye smiled, "I can get us out of the building, no problem", she replied, "just get me out of here and I'll get us out".

Kitty Galore went to the entrance of the cell, then put her paw through one of the holes and reached to the side. I heard some beeping and a click, then Kitty Galore quickly brought her paw back in and the door raised. Kitty Galore scoffed, "they never change their passcodes", she said, "let's go".

Skye ran in front, while Kitty Galore and I followed behind her. "Hey, you there!", a guard shouted, but was quickly silenced when Skye jumped, then did a frontflip and knocked him out. "Is it just me, or does she fight similarly to Mark?", Kitty Galore asked.

I shrugged, "don't ask me that", I said, "I don't care, I just want to get out of here".

Skye led us to the exit and surprisingly there weren't very many agents wandering around, but then again, it was the middle of the night. We exited the building and found no one waiting for us. "Thank you, you two", Skye said, "you've helped us a lot in many ways".

"Us?", I asked.

Skye smiled, as a transport materialized above her and another husky dropped down beside her. He had light gray fur and a white underbelly with one icy blue eye, the other seemed to have been scratched out, "hey, sis", he said.

"It's good to see you again, Shadow", Skye said, then she noticed his eye, "what happened to your eye?".

"I'll explain later", Shadow said, "what do you want to do with these two?".

"Oh, we can just leave them here", Skye answered, "they've served their purpose".

I hissed, "who do you think you are?!", I growled, "treating us like pawns!".

Skye chuckled, "we're taking over the world", she said, "and the two of you helped us".

Kitty Galore jumped at her, but Skye swatted her aside and she went flying into a dumpster. I snickered, then I suddenly felt myself flying into the air and landed into the dumpster beside Kitty Galore. We watched as Skye and Shadow went up into their transport and it disappeared. "Now I got garbage in my fur", I muttered.

"This is actually the only time that I'm glad that I lost my fur", Kitty Galore muttered as well.

Director Lou's POV

I was sitting in my chair behind my desk in my office, when my computer beeped and Tab Lazenby's face appeared on the screen. "Director Lou", he said, "I heard about what happened at your agency".

"You didn't happen to get anything out of Skye did you?", I asked.

Tab Lazenby shook his head, "no, before we could even question her, Mr. Tinkles and Kitty Galore helped her out of her cell and she escaped", he explained.

"You had Mr. Tinkles and Kitty Galore in custody?", I asked, "where are they now?".

"Oh, they're back in their cell", Tab Lazenby answered, "we found them in a dumpster nearby, it seems Skye betrayed them and fled".

I sighed, "so, Skye escaped", I said, "but Mr. Tinkles and Kitty Galore are in custody, so I guess we can terminate our contract".

Tab Lazenby nodded, "take care, Lou", he said, then ended the call.

'I wonder what their next move is', I thought to myself, 'whatever it is, I hope it doesn't happen anytime soon'.

Shadow's POV

I just picked up Skye from M.E.O.W.S., thankfully I didn't have to infiltrate the agency, so I didn't have to worry about being discovered. After all, both D.O.G.S. and that former wolf agent Humphrey, believe I am dead. We neared our base in Alaska, so the transport slowed down and began its descent. The transport descended through a holographic mountain that was near impossible to reach, so we didn't have to worry about anyone accidentally passing through. A hangar was revealed after we passed through and the transport landed on the ground with a clunk. Skye and I got off, then headed to Rufus' office and found him waiting for us. He turned towards us and smiled, "Skye, so glad you're safe", he said, "didn't have any trouble getting out did you?".

Skye shook her head, "no trouble", she said, "except for when D.O.G.S. locked me up, unfortunately I underestimated them and they've caught onto me eight minutes before I planned them to".

Rufus chuckled, "it's alright, Skye", he said, "nobody's perfect".

"No, they're not", Mark said, then he emerged from the shadows, "it's good to have the family back together, how's it going?".

"Where'd Ashley end up?", Skye asked, "did she make it out?".

Rufus nodded, "she did", he answered, "I sent her to Jasper to tie up some loose ends".

"Loose ends...as in Humphrey?", Skye asked, "he isn't a problem, trust me".

"Maybe not", Rufus said, "but he's the only one that has a chance of stopping any of us".

I scoffed, "yeah, he defeated me", I muttered.

"That was part of the plan, brother", Mark said, "or did you forget that?".

"I didn't forget that", I replied, "but I didn't let him win, he beat me".

"That's why I sent Ashley", Rufus said, "she'll take care of him".

"Did you tell her to watch out for his mate?", I asked, "she's scary".

"Scared of a bitch?", Mark asked, tauntingly, then Skye smacked him across the face.

"Watch it, Mark!", Skye snapped, "or I'll show you the meaning of pain".

"Damn", Mark muttered, "females are scary".

Rufus and I couldn't help but chuckle a little, "now, Shadow is going to lead our forces to M.E.O.W.S. and-", Rufus started, but was cut off by Mark.

"Why him?", Mark asked, "I want to go".

Skye flashed her claws at him and he gulped, "uhh, never mind", Mark said.

"As I was saying, Shadow will lead our forces to M.E.O.W.S. and destroy them", Rufus said, "after that, it'll be your turn, Mark".

"Sounds good", Mark replied.

Rufus turned to me, "Shadow, get your troops ready", he said, "we want M.E.O.W.S. to be gone by morning".

I bowed my head, "understood, Rufus", I replied, then left the room and headed down into the deeper reaches of the base, where our forces were staying. Most of these wolves were outcasts from their packs or homeless or orphans. Whatever the case was, we gave them a new home with the promise of a better future for all canines, wolf or dog. We've even had entire packs join us in our cause, which helped a lot with training and especially security, since we couldn't trust most of the lone wolves here.
