"I would rather die…" Tiberius rasped, coughing after he managed to say that. A few inches away from the awfully sick bird, Ozone muttered under his breath, "That can still be arranged…" The glare Snowball gave him was enough to tell the cat that he had not been quiet enough. Rolling his eyes, the feline turned his head away from the sickly bird. There were bandages wrapped around his throat while a blanket had been draped over him. The old hawk looked like he was running a very high fever after being stuck in the rain almost all night.

And now Ozone had to take care of him as punishment.

"Do I really need to do this?" Ozone asked. Turning towards the hairless feline, Snowball opened his mouth to speak. However, he didn't get a chance to since Gidget, who was also in the shed, quickly barked, "Yes you do! You're the one who chained him to that pole! And you're the one who left him out there in the rain! Now you take care of him before I kick your a-"

"I think he gets it!" Snowball exclaimed, swiftly interrupting the threat.

Sighing heavily, Ozone glanced down at Tiberius. The red tailed hawk returned the gaze evenly. There was hatred in his eyes. At least the Sphynx cat knew he wasn't the only one who hated this idea.
