Minnaloshe part two

“Goodbye, Squishy,” (Squishy is the name Minnaloshe gave the man) “I’ll be back soon,” The man petted Minnaloshe on his head. When Minnaloshe went back to the basement Shadow was already awake.
“You ready to go?” she asked.
“Sure; let’s go,”
So they went to Astros’s house and got him to tag along. Astro never had been to the city before so everything was exciting to him. He saw big tall human nests, lots of trash cans, and hundreds of fat funny looking birds. When they came to the alley the cat agent was already there.
“Is this all you could get?”
“This is all who was willing to go with me,” said Shadow.
“Well, beggars can’t be choosers,” the cat reasoned with herself. “Anyway, are you sure you want to do this?”
“Yes!” Astro squealed.
“Are you?”  The agent asked Minnaloshe.
“Sure, sure I’ll do it,” Minnaloshe hesitated.
“Well welcome aboard! We will be now entering SCA headquarters.” With that she pressed her paw on a brick on the wall. The brick pushed in and a hole in the wall opened. Minnaloshe followed the cat inside. At first, it was completely dark. Then the agent stopped, placed her paw on a flat surface and another door opened. Minnaloshe had never seen so many cats.
“This is SCA headquarters I’ll show you around but, first let me introduce myself; I am field agent Taco,” Astro giggled.
“Why do they call you that?” Shadow asked. Ignoring her question Taco went on with the tour. She showed them the training room, the lab, the weapons and gadgets room, and most importantly, the litterbox room.
“When can we start?” Minnaloshe asked completely forgetting his sick human.
“You’ll start training tomorrow; a mission escort will be sent to your neighborhood let you know when to train, but she there till after tomorrow. Until then I’ll pick you up for training,”

                                                                         XXXXX
   

Minnaloshe waited at Astros’s house for an hour now. He and Astro were hoping that the escort will come to his house.
“Is she there?” Minnaloshe asked Astro when he came back out. Astro shook his head sadly.
“No, my human didn’t bring any new housemates today,”
“How many housemates do you have any way?”
“I don’t know; I can’t count passed 29,”
“How come?”
“Duchess didn’t teach me yet,”
“Who’s Duchess?”
“One of my housemates,”
“Anyway, I’ll see you later; I’ll look around the rest of the neighborhood,”
“Oooh, Oooh, can I come with you?”
“No, Astro you’re too young to wander far from your home,”
“Oh, ok well, goodbye,”
With that Minnaloshe went off. Before he could even pass his house a moving truck and car pulled up in the driveway of the house next door. A lady wearing fancy cloths came out of the car with a cat crate. It wasn’t just any ole crate either.  It was gold studded with diamonds with silver bars on the door.
“That must be the escort!” Minnaloshe thought. He ran back quickly to Astro’s house.
“Astro! I found her! I think I found her!”
“You found her? That’s great! Take me to her house,” Astro squealed. Minnaloshe led Astro to the house. Minnaloshe and Astro were surprised to see that the movers were gone so quickly. All they saw was a white cat who was fat, fat, fat. They came closer and were surprised to see how young she was.
“Hello!” screamed Astro. The fat cat was very frightened when she saw them.
“Don’t be scared, we won’t hurt you,” Minnaloshe calmed her.
“Yeah, we won’t, we’ll just play with you!”
“Astro, we’re here for much more important business than that. We’re here for our training,”
“What training?”
“For the SCA, silly!” giggled Astro. Minnaloshe squinted at her. She looked too young to work for the SCA.
“How old are you?” he asked.
“Five months old,” she said.
“Astro, she’s not the escort; she’s too young. We’re sorry we bothered you,”
“Wait! Don’t go! I haven’t had anyone to talk to for a long time,”
“Really? How come?” Astro asked.
“Because I’m a show cat; can’t you tell by my sweater, my bow on my head or my $5,000,000 collar?”
“What’s a dollar?” Astro asked.
“How come you don’t have any friends?” Minnaloshe asked.
“My owner and I travel a lot so other humans can take pictures of me. So I don’t have time to make friends; I only see other cats when they’re getting their pictures taken and on top of that my human won’t let me play with them. It wouldn’t matter anyway; the other cats don’t like me,”
“Wow, your owner won’t let you play with other cats? That’s so mean!” said Astro.
“Actually my human loves me very much; it’s just that the other cats may ruin me,”
No one noticed Shadow sitting there listening to them talking. But boy was she jealous.
Jealous of how Minnaloshe looked at the fat she-cat.
“What is your name anyway?” Astro asked.
“I’m Priscilla,”
“I’m Astro I’m six months and this is Minnaloshe he’s seven months,”  
Before anyone could say anything Priscilla’s owner opened the door.
“Come in Priscilla my lovely it’s time for din…AAAAH!” She screamed. She started to swat at Astro and Minnaloshe with a magazine.
“Get away from my baby, you filthy riffraff!!”
After that she picked up her “baby” and went inside.  
“I take back what I said,” puffed Astro while running. “Her owner’s is very mean!” they ran all the way to Minnaloshe’s porch. Just at that moment a cars pulled in the driveway. When it stopped a little girl hopped out. She ran to the door and rang the doorbell several times. Then she saw the cats and started petting them. Behind her was a man holding a hamster cage. The female human opened the door. Inside the new man set the cage on a table. Minnaloshe and Astro got on the table to look at it. The hamster inside it looked juicy.
“Hello,” squeaked the hamster. It made both cats jump.
“You can talk?” gasped Astro.
“Yes, in several languages; you two must be Astro and Minnaloshe,” replied the rodent.
“How do you know our names?” Minnaloshe asked.
“I’m your escort, Mrs.Num-nums,” she said.
“But you’re a hamster!” cried Astro.
“You wouldn’t inspect a hamster to have important information, do you?” said the hamster.
“No,”
“Well, neither will a dog,”
