"What do you like about Coricopat?" the white and black queen asked Bomba silently. Then, Seffina narrowed her eyes to the entrance of the den. Her head snapped back to Mungojerrie, and then back to the new cat. She was still looking at Rumpleteazer, but directed her attention to Jerrie,"So this is your sister you informed me about earlier?" She tried her best to keep out the discomfort and panic still rising in her.
Jelly was about to answer Mungojerrie, before Bomba cut in with her complimenting all the toms. then before she could speak again, she jumped at Rumpleteazer's entrance. "Teazer,"She said in her best sugary motherly tone,"Didn't I always tell you to never pull antics inside the infirmary... right dearie?" She then gave her attention to Munkustrap. "If they only came to retrieve one of there spies, then...why do this to Coricopat? Munkus...is there something you're not telling me?"

"Cori's a sweet guy. A little shy but I still like him too. He's kind." She replied. Rumpelteazer jumped in and Bomba jumped up in fright falling over onto the ground with a thud. She laid there embarassed then rolled over on her back, "A little more warning next time...?"

Mungojerrie tried hard to keep from laughing, but a little snort did escape. But, doing his best to cover it up with a sneeze, he shot his sister a warning look. "Teazah..." He indicated the unconscious Coricopat. "This isn't the bes' toime fer...y' know...?"
Merri smiled as Rumpelteazer came in, glad for a distraction from Bomba's lavishing praise on all the toms.
Alonzo yelled in surprise as Teazer came in and startled them all. Then he sighed in annoyance, wishing the female half of the Theif Twins had stayed asleep in her den. "Yeah, Teazer, this is kind of a sickroom here," he said, speaking more harshly than he'd meant to.
Jelly's question brought to the front of Munku's mind what he'd momentarily pushed to the back. Forgetting Jelly, he slapped himself in the forehead. "Great Heaviside, the kittens!--" Then he remembered the queen in front of him. Oh, lovely, you've really eased her worries now. He gulped. Well, there was nothing for it now but to tell her. "Jelly, they...they captured Violynne, and--and we think, Etcetera, too."

Seffina nodded uncertainly at Bomba. "I wouldn't know...I don't really know him,"She said low. "Bu-But he was FINE! Now...Now..."She trailed off, not wanting to cause a further scene. How could someone be fine ten minutes ago, and now look like that? She questioned herself.Jellylorum's eyes went wide, and her voice rose,"WHAT!!!!!!??" Jenny and Skimble couldn't have picked a worse time to go sight seeing. Everything seemed to be going on now, and she was the only 'elder' there to do anything about it. Old Deuteronomy was somewhere in the city with his humans, and would take him ages to get to the yard. "Why? Whats...What's going on? How come no one was watching them?" Jelly wasn't trying to accuse anyone, she was just worried.

Munkustrap bowed his head in shame. What was wrong with him, he was the protector, he shouldn't have let the kittens go off on their own...! But, they just hadn't been expecting anything...but they should have! "They...they just went off playing, I didn't think they'd gone far... And, well, it's just been so quiet lately we just didn't think--" Now what was he doing? Making excuses. He shook his head. "Jelly, I'm sorry, there is no excuse for such irresponsibility, and I promise you I'll get those kits back if it's the last thing I do!"
Alonzo, overhearing, went over to them. "This is all well and good, but let's have a plan, yeah?" His own words surprised himself. Usually he was the one wanting to race off and rescue without thinking.
Merrilee's ears pricked up at their conversation. "Oh, skat!" she said to the queens around her, "Etcy and Vi! I totally forgot...!"
"Great, so 'ow we gonna do it?" asked Mungojerrie, joining them.

After taking in the situation, Rumpelteazer could only smile weakly at the trouble she had caused. "Sorry..." she muttered, looking mostly at Bombalurina. Slightly confused about what was happening, she went to stand by her brother's side and looked at Coricopat. As she took in his motionless form, all trace of a smile vanished from her face.
"Is 'e gonna be alrigh'?" she whispered to Mungojerrie.

"Oi...well, Oi dunno," he answered truthfully. "'Ope so. If anyone c'n 'elp 'im, it's Jelly, roight?"

"Well...Munk'tap wos--that is, two kits were kitnap'd by ole Mac-a-thing, an' we gotta go rescue 'em." Mungojerrie looked questioningly at Munkustrap. "D'we 'ave a plan?"
"Not yet," Munkustrap admitted. "I was so caught up with Cori--which is probably what Macavity wanted--" He growled in frustration. "But I do know we've got to go when he's least expecting." Which was a lot easier said than done.
"Well, good, that gives us time to plan then," said Alonzo, trying to be optimistic.

"Distraction..." Bombalurina mummbled from the floor, "Someone should distract him, but it can't be to obvious... So no running into the room screaming at the tops of ours lungs. Although, that would be something funny to witness." She snickered.

Merri rolled her eyes in Bomba's direction. "Uh-huh. Real funny. I'm just laughing my tail off."
"But a distrac'shun is a good idea," Mungo reasoned.
"Yeah; but not only can it not be something too obvious, it can't be someone too obvious," said Alonzo. "I mean, I'm sure Macavity's expecting Munkustrap, or me, or--well, probably any of us who were around when he came. Or at least the ones he knows pretty well." He looked around at them. "Erm...who wouldn't he expect?"
"Not nec'sarily," Mungo argued, "jus' not some'un so obv'us as yew er Munk. But," and a devious grin spread across his face, "wot'f me an' Teazah wen' over ta troi an' nick some things...only--only we'd do an 'orrible job so't we make lotsa noise an' they go to invest'gate it, meanwhile some'un sneak in an' get th' kits!" He looked at the others expectantly. "Well?"

Rumpelteazer grinned back at her brother. "Yeah! Ya know wha', I reckon tha' mite jus' work Jerrie!" She glanced over at the unconcious Coricopat again. "Well, I'm up for i' anyway. Whadda ya think Munkus?"

"I don't know..." Munkustrap hesitated. "That might not distract him long enough--or he might just send a hench to take care of it..."
"Yeah, but that c'ld 'appen no matter wot kinda distrac'shin we do," Mungojerrie pointed out.

Jelly was completely worried about Cettie and Vi, that she probably wasn't thinking straight. "Over my dead body!!" Jelly hissed at the tiger's idea. "You two are just barely passed being kitts yourself. I do not agree! Then they'll have to rescue you two as well!" She gave Munk a stern look, hoping he would agree with her.
Seffina shrugged her shoulders,"I don't know, it sounds decent enough. Too bad Coricopat wasn't awake to you know...do his mystic thing. You know be sort of like a scout. Being able to sense when one of the bad guys is near...he can do that right?" She sighed again, sitting beside Bombalurina.

"I think he can," Merri nodded at Seffie. "I mean, he was able to look into that hench-kit's mind, and he always just seems to sense things before they happen--he and Tantomile both." She scooted closer to the toms and Teazer. "But I think Mungo and Teazer's idea is a good one," she said to Jellylorum. "I mean, they're experienced, they've been thieving forever, this is probably elementary compared to some things they've done before."
Mungo couldn't help glowing just a little bit at that.
Munkustrap held back a groan, oh it was horrid having to make decisions sometimes. "Well...they do have experience," he agreed feebly, hoping he wouldn't anger Jelly.
"And can anyone think of a better plan?" asked Alonzo.
