Basil was in the Rat Trap, wearing a disguise again. He didn't wear the sailor outfit again since Ratigan was already familiar with it. He looked over tot he bar, finally seeing the professor and the lady mouse talking.
From what he has found out, she works with a team and they never go after anything small. He also found out that one of the people she worked with was a rat. That surprised him since rats are considered the second-class.
As he watched as Ratigan and Isabelle interact, he was surprised by the level of familiarity between them. His green eyes examined the thief.
She was pretty mouse with light brown fur and her dual colored eyes made her look unique. He noticed that she wearing mans clothes, which was a pants, sweater and boots. He heard her speak, noticing that she had a southern drawl to her voice. So, she wasn't from London, sounded like she was from America.
Basil hummed to himself, that's a start.
He raised an eyebrow when she suddenly sat on Ratigan's lap, giving him a playful smile while he just laughed at her. Ratigan then wrapped his arms around her, nuzzling her cheek. In all the years he known Ratian, he never seen him so affectionate with anybody, particularly women. Sure, he charmed them, but there was no charms with this one, just honesty.
He watched as she kissed his nose, making the rat blush and making the lady mouse laugh raucously. Isabelle's mannerism were not lady like at all.
As she got up, Basil examined her walk. There was no fluid nor grace in it, just confidence and strut. It was so...masculine. Basil again wondered about Ratigan; for this was not his usual taste in women. He then saw Isabelle look to the side and her face lit up. She waved at the person, making Basil looked and his eyes widened.
There stood a large brown rat. He looked really muscular and slightly bigger then Ratigan. He grimaced when he saw the tears in his ears and the scar over his snout, he looked like he had hard times. He watched as the large rat pulled out a notebook and scribbled on it, showing it to Isabelle.
S, he was as mute. That was interesting.
Basil saw her smile broadly at him and calling him "Tommy Boy." So, his name must be Tom or Thomas. Her interaction with him was friendly, almost like how siblings interact. He could tell that Thomas wasn't from London either, he was also from America.
Basil then saw one of the patrons grinned at the thief, reaching over and pinching her rear. She yelped and Ratigan and Thomas instantly looked that patron. But they never got the chance to react.
Because Isabelle jumped kicked the man in the face.
When the man fell to the ground, Isabelle straddled his waist and started punching him. Thomas quickly got her off him, while she struggled and let out a string of curses that would have made a sailor blush. Basil watched as Thomas dragged the irate thief away into another room, with Ratigan right behind them.
Apparently, Isabelle wasn't like any woman that either Basil or Ratigan has met.
From what he has figured out, Isabelle wasn't from London, she was from the States.
It looked like it was time to call in a few favors.
AN: Here we have Basil in disguise and in the Rat Trap(again), observing the couple. As you can see, he's very surprised by the affection between the two, since Ratigan is more of a charmer. He's also surprised because Isabelle is so tomboyish and not so feminine and he knows that's not Ratigan's usual taste in women.
He also see's Thomas and hears Isabelle's nickname for him. He also figures out that they are not from London, that they are foreigners.
I think a man like Basil gonna have some connections, so he's going to have someone help him get info from the states.
Anyway, enjoy and comments are loved! I don't own GMD, just Isabelle and Thomas!
