"Ozone! I know you're here man! Come out where I can see you!" Snowball's voice called from the entrance of the alley. Hearing it from where he was lounging on some trash bags behind a dumpster, Ozone groaned heavily. His head felt like someone kept taking a sledgehammer to it, constantly smashing it down his skull. It might as well be his heart too cuz that had been torn to pieces last night. Heaving himself to his feet, the cat stepped out into the open. The look on Snowball's face told him that he was in trouble.
Big trouble.
His arms folded across his chest and his foot tapping, Snowball muttered, "You better tell me what I need to hear." After a moment's pause, the white rabbit added, "What we all need to hear." Confused, Ozone scratched the back of his head with his tail as he asked, "What the heck are you talking about?"
"What did you do last night?"
"Oh, I went to that cat only bar down in Brooklyn."
"Really?"
"Yeah. You know I do that kind of thing."
"Okay. So… did you take Tiberius with you to that same bar?"
"No. Why would I ever do that?"
"So you deny that?"
"Yes, I deny taking that bird to that bar."
"Then why is it that Tattoo called me at two in the morning about finding him chained to a pole in the rain, bleeding from the neck, next to that bar?!" Snowball demanded, his anger quite obvious as his volume increased. Ozone just stood there, completely dumbfounded. His face had the look of an idiot. His mind scrambled to come up with an excuse. However, when he opened his mouth, all he could get out was, "Uh… oops?"
"Yeah, now you have to nurse him back to health!"
