"well I can assure you that niether Jenny nor a Kitten are to be found here," a voice said driely. bright green eyes glowed in shadows that resolved themselves into a smallish tom with brown fur speckeled with grey and black, black rings around his bright eyes. "Bombalurina what have you brought to my doorstep this time?" he asked. the scarlet queen shook her mane and sighed, "CP, Chroamie this is Owen, he's The Librarians Cat and one of those real smart fellows that I was telling you about. he can read anything!" she said, then the buxom scarlet queen looked at Feathertail prettily worried. "Owen I don't know who she is or have any Idea what she means by 'Jenny and the Kitten' but she needs help, I think that she has a better claim on your time than we do," she continued with another unhappy sigh. Owen cocked his head Bomba had a positive talent fo turning up with the oddest things that set his normaly staid and solid head reeling! and then she would stand there poseing without meaning too not realizing just how distracting she was!

CP nodded in greeting to being introduced to Owen, "Nice to meet you" She said. She motioned to the drunken cat not far away. "That's my mate, as Bomba introduced us, he's drunk... I mean, Chromechaser." Chromie was by that time laid flat on the floor, he slurred a hello.
Feathertail seemed distant. Too distant. Finally she snapped out of it and stood. "He's dead." She said rather bluntly while she was at it. "Deepwalker is dead." CP stared, impossible, she saw him the night before! "He was attacked by a Pollicle, he fled, lured it across the street where my human lives, a very busy road. But he himself was also badly injured. Even with my ablities as a healer I wouldn't be able to save him. He asked me to protect a kitten. And to inform Jenny as well. He did not say why either. Just ot see to Jenny and the kitten. I promised him I'd so."
Well that was a real tearjerker. However CP turned to Ownen, "Listen, we ne..." She was cut off as some humans entered, even with their glamor the group of cats looked like a group of young adults trying to comfort one of their group, while one of them looked a bit loaded flat on the floor. She waited until the group of humans had dispersed and left them before asking "You know anything on a BL Smythe the cattery tycoon ?"

the brown tom sighed and shook his head as he watched the humans, then he turned to the other Jellicles and said "follow me please," and took off down a winding route between the booksehelves and up stir ways till the came to a cozy but apparently little used store room. Owen seteled on one of the boxes and said "now make yourselves comfortable, ahh much better, we are far less like to be disturbed here. ahem now, B.L Smythe... a sadly far to good example of the perdifierties of which socitety is capable..." then he paused when he saw the prettilyblank look on Bomba's lovely face, "that means that she is a bad person Bomba. oh yes Smythe is a woman, B L stands for Betty Lou you see. thouh I must say that I am not suprised that you took her for a man...many do! she comes by it honestly, her family has had a hand in all manner of wickedness of one form or another for as long as they have been keping written records in England. from Wreaking amoungst The Hebrides and along the Cornish coast, to the worst sorts of abuses imanigeable as the absetee land owners of farms in Ireland during The Famine. it was a Smythe that exchanged coins for the things that Cromwells Roundheads Plundered from the Churches, and it was another Smythe that picked Cromwells pocke when the Headsman was done with him. like our own Macvity if it's underhanded a Smythe has had a finger in it. and B.L is amoungst the worst I can assure you she seems to feel that she has more to prove, particularly being happily one of the last of thier Old Blood. she owns an unknown number of busines and residential properties both legitmate and criminal and many shades between from the respectiable to the slum. I can tell you that I belive that are in business together though I doubt that she realizes just who and what her partner really is. now may I ask why you are asking about this piece of human excrement?" while Owen had droned on is his calm steady voice Bomba cocked her head fetchingly as she strained to follow some of the larger words and twistier sentences. "she hired humans to catch queens so that she could make coats out of thier fur!" she blurted out indignantly, "toms from the tribe rescued them, but we have found out that there were others," her clear green gold eyes dropped as she reached out a slender paw to touch Owen, "could you tell us where she might have them?" she finished hopefuly, her elegantly arched eyebrows and delicately cupped ears perking. before he answed Owen glanced at the others to see what they might add.

CP raised an eyebrow. Well this went to pot faster then she wanted or liked. So this BL Smythe was more a killer then anything else. She cast a glance towards Bomba, then towards her still flat on the floor blurbing gibberish with a strong drunken slur mate. A plan slowly forming in her mind. "What if we went and faced her ? Where does she live ?" Maybe they could show their true selves, and beat some sense into the woman ?
Feathertail looked a bit worse for wear, finally she said, "I'm going to go find Jenny, she needs to know what happened. I promised him I'd find her and the kitten in his charge." She stood then from the seat she had taken after the winding route through the library. "I will find you guys later." with that she took her leave.
It was then that Chromechaser shot to his feet. "I got an idea!" He said thoughtfully, a clawed finger in the air. "BL Smythe, like this good fellow here mentioned, has her fingers in everything, from high pip catteries, to hobos working the streets to collect queens for their fur and toms for the labwork."
He then turned to the Library Cat, "My mate here is wonderful with locks, She can easily pick them to get out of a jam when needed to do so." CP nodded, yes she could easily crack a lock, unless it was electronic. In which case she'd let her mate play with it. Though it did little to explain what her mate was thinking.
EXIT Feathertail

Owen cocked an eyebrow, "she is known to keep both a flat here in the city and tp maintain the ancesteral country estate as well. though the country house is more likely if she is holding the Queens for her own uses." Bomba frowned prettily "if she is what he says she'll have protections though in Felidae we should be able to slip past...and while having more of the Tribe could be handy a smaller group might have an easier time." she said. "Owen," the scarlet queen purred, "I know that you won't leave the Library, but could you give us a map?" she asked sweetly. "we would be sooo grateful." the brown tom shook his head as he left the room for a moment and when he returned he had a paperback road atlas, "the way you asked was very...nice though hardly nessacary," he said hideing a smile as he opened it to show Redmane the route.

Maps were most helpful, that was a good thing. Chromie however was soon leaning on his mate in a sleepy manner. Oh dear. "Hate to break up the party but do you have an extension cord nobody wants ?" CP asked as she was struggling to keep her mate awake. It was true. Bomba could read, so could her mate, that worked perfectly for her.
Then again, her mate was ready to snooze, which if that occured, the only thing to keep him awake is a powerjolt

the brown tom arched an eyebrow "and what, dare I ask, does he want with an extension cord?" he said. Bomba burst into a fit of giggles at the look on Owens face and shook out her mane, "whatever it is Owie it's gonna be good!" the scarlet queen languidly stretched her shapely frame and gave her paw a quick lick, "so CP do we hoof it or try and hitch a ride?" she asked.

"It is either that or a set of jumper cables" CP replied to the question, though her look said simply 'do you really want to know' Chrome was not that heavy, but he was hard to wake up, a powerjolt did the job every time. "But since we are in a library I do not think that is an option, so, unwanted extension cord it is, unless you want him to bite the fusebox directly and knock out the power here...."

the smallish brown tom trotted out of the room shaking his head, while the scarlet queen sashayed over and began to look at the Atlas. Bombas brow furrowed prettily, "you know if we caught Skimmies train we could get off here..." she said tracing a route with a dainty claw, "but would be a loooong walk back."
then Owen bustled back carrying a badly frayed length of extension cord "here we are I belive this is what you were looking for." he said handing it to CP.

CP stepped over to the map, watching where Bomba traced a claw, That was a long way. OK, so they'd have to plan this accordingly, as far as she knew, this person was nasty and mean, and might have tried to buy her humans place not too long ago. When Owen returned she smiled, ahh, "Perfect." She chirped.
Taking the end with the plug still intact she took the other end, split down the middle and touched the two remaining 'prong's together, they sparked. "Chromie dear, open up them chompers sweetie" She said, Chromechaser looked confused but did as told as CP touched the powered cord ends to her mates two front sharpest teeth. "Bite down." CP said. Chromie did so and his fur shot in all directions. like a hostess snowball.
"Any call while I was out ?" Chromechaser asked as CP unplugged the cord and then licked a paw and then started combing out the static that generated on her mates fur. "Oh hey" Chrome said recognising a place on the map "That's the cattery!" He pointed to the place only a half block down from where the train station was, it was between the train station and their targets country home. "And that is..... the home of our worst enemy. Now do we have... aha!"
Chrome found a book of house designs, {Approved by the BL Smythe Estate!} and started flipping through it. To Owen he asked, "Ya mind if I borrow this book until this is over ?" He said, it had everything in there. Security systems, floor plans, room designs, heck it even had exact placement of furnishings and even camera emplacements.

once again the lovely red queen burst into giggles at the brown toms expression. "that...that is most unusual!" he declared then Owen shook himself and regained his composure, "harrumph, yes quite just kep in mind that the plans she offered for publication are quite likely to have been changed upon implementation, it would not exactly do for someone of her occupation if Law Enforcement Officers had every nook and cranny laid out for them if they were to stage a raid now would it?" he replied evenly.
"if we hurry we can still catch the train!" Bomba said to CP and Chroamie then the scarlet queen gave Owen a hug and a headrub that left him looking a bit dazed as she said " Owie your the best!"

"By now, yes, but at time of inital construction, no. These are the original blue prints and wire diagrams." He said, then he smiled a weird 'I know something you don't know' kind of smile.
CP spotted it however and put two and two together and got 69 somehow, "Don't tell me..." Chromie just nodded, "That's it! I'm not going!" CP was clearly spooked about the idea of going there. "Nothing you can say will make me!" She crossed her arms forgging for the instant she had all the static electricty off her mate and in her paw where it acted more like a wet sponge and soaked her side.... drats
"What ? I've been there, I was a kitten sure, but its how I got hooked on powercables, the cables they got there, only Wuzy's truck comes a strong second." Chromie replied, "Sure these plans may have been modifieid during or after construction was completed. But the wiring is the same as all the houses in the area. Once we disable those systems, its free reign in the place" Chromie explained as he opened to a wiring setup for a different house with the exact same floorplan directly across the street from B.L. Smyth's place.

the brown tom shook his head, "just so that you are aware that it might not be quite that simple," he said. "oh Owie it's sweet of you to care!" said giving him another rub. then she turned to CP and Chroamie with a bright smile "I trust you and Red Big Guy but I think that this is really something That should be decided by The Jellicle Leader!" she said her long fluffy tail flicking. "we should take what we have learned back to the Yard!" Bomba declared and bounded fluidly out of the room. (EXIT Bomba stage left)
the brown tom shook his head and sighed "did they tell you that Bombalurina can be...impulsive?" he asked Chromaie and Redmane conversationally. "well unfortunately I have to make an appearance downstairs or the Library aide's will begin to worry. it has been pleasent to meet you," Owen said and with a slight bow he left. (EXIT Owen stage right))
