The Kid
"Well...crumb," Mumbled The Kid as he watched the sirens approaching. "Gots no grenades to-night. Don't s'pose we coulda jus' been out ferra stroll? 'Eadin' ta s'm party? Eh, they'll get us fer that too."
The Kid wiped rain from his face as he hurried to come up with an alibi. "Maybe Grams is sick, eh? Fell an' broke 'er hip. Might jus' do the trick!"
Thugs and Broads
Lola
"And who's gonna be the granny, hmm?" Lola looked Kiki up and down for a moment before quickly offering up another reason.
"What about Kiki here's 'few months preggers? Say she wants some pickles or summat that pregnent women like. Damn fuzz'll believe anything that stupid. Jus' say... you're her first, I'm her, uh... friend and you... are being responsible?" She made a face, realising that while it wasn't a particularly terrible alibi, it deinitely wasn't a fantastic one.

If I told you I was innocent, would you believe me?

The Kid
"Er..." The Kid paused, trying to think fast. He hadn't taken note of the fact that Lola and Kiki were in there with them. "Oh! She called us up, and said she needed help. Don't 'splain why the 'ole lot of us're 'eaded there though...or me. If'n it's jus' the fellas... Eh, they'll be the grandkids, and I guess you gals'll be their dates. I'll jus' be the annoying lil' brother who wouldn' shut up 'less y'took me with ya. An' that'll be why we're altogether. Yeh."
The Kid smiled smugly as he watched the cars approach.

I'm bored.
Tom:
He slowed the car down as one of the more officious Po Pos flagged him. Tom had had just about enough of being told what to do, nevermind all the unnecessary danger he'd been sporting lately for catty strangers.
"Is there a PROBLEM officer?" Tom leveled a hard stare at the officer as he leaned on their newly acquired car and gave a pleasent enough smile.
Detective McGruff:
"Easy son, I know this is damn inconvenient but we've got a tip that a rather infamous lady- "
SHAK-BOOM!!!!!!
The detective was stopped by the alpha and omega of all explosions coming from the Zoo's direction. A credit to his profession, McGruff gaped for only a split second before snapping to action.
"Get outta here, Kid!" He commanded Tom before turning his attention to the blockade of officers.
"Let's GO people!!! We got our mark and no time to lose! MOVE OUT!"
Tom: Feeling a bit more chipper, Tom managed to smile.
"Too bad Kid, I was sure your grandma story woulda wow'd 'em. I was even thinking up a way we could of explained Lola's outfit ^^" He gave a good natured wink to the back of the car. "So whatya say people? Ready to face the Don? As far as I can see, we held up our end of the deal."
The rain was getting light and misty.

Mickey
Mickey caught Eddy's vials in one thick mitt - they smelled faintly of chloroform. With his other hand he yanked Lacey in behind Mary and the two toppled in onto a crate of ammunition.
"Hit it!" He yelled, pulling the door shut.
They squealed out of the parking lot and down the road, bumping and rattling in the back of the van. From behind them came another enormous Sha-KOOOM!!!, and ahead of them flashed the blue and red lights of a police cruiser. Runt hit the brakes to take the van down toward something resembling the speed limit - and in the back all hell broke loose...
A box of grenades slid free of its straps and crashed into the panther's side, splintering and sending its exlosive contents rolling about the floor. The huge cat lurched awake, shaking its head and straining against its bound paws. Lacey and Mary scurried to collect the grenades while Mickey tried frantically to unstop the vial of traquilizer.
The police lights were getting close when Mickey spotted one grenade caught by its pin on the broken box. As if in slow motion the grenade slid free of its pin and fell, live, at his feet. "Oh CRAP!" Mickey dropped the tranks and snatched up the grenade and pin, stuffing them back together.
"Thank God, I thought we was all... gonna get... blowed... *yawn* ...up."
All three passengers and one large feline felt their vision blur and then felt nothing at all. On the floor, both vials lay shattered and wet.
Eddy's gonna have a helluva time explainin' this if we get pulled over, Mickey thought before collapsing in a heap on top of the panther.

Tom:
He parked outside the Don's house and waited.... and waited....
He didn't think it would be too bright to go in with half the team missing when they're supposed to be showing themselves united, but.....
Tom was starting to worry the rest of the guys had taken a detour. It wasn't helpin that he was still getting spattered by drizzle on his face.
"DAMNIT! What am I suppose to DO!?"

Eddy
Eddy had closed the window intime. and he and runt were now continueing the trip with the sleeping group in the back. All of a sudden Runt hit the break while they were in a small alley. some trashcans hid the car from sight. Eddy was about to speak up when Runt put his finger agains his lips and motioned Edy to listen carefully. For a moment it was silent outside but then He could hear sirens closing in along the road which they had just left. Even though his mind was working at top speed he couldn't think of a way to cover the panther and his three sleeping cohorts. He looked around the alley, it was a dead end...if they'd return to the street they'd get caught for sure...he could only wait. He looked through the window. still asleep...lucky bastards...The sirens grew louder and louder. and then the sirens passed the alley and went on in the direction of the zoo...A sigh of relieve played across his face as the last car passed and Runt drove the car out of the alley. The road was free and they took the shortest route to the Don's.

Lola
"Damn people making us wait, this's godda be the wors' day of my friggin' life..." Lola continued grumbling under her breath until she saw the van pull around the corner.
"'Bout friggin' time..." She opened the door and pulled herself out of the car, straightening her dress and mentally checking off her knives as she moved. At least she hadn't left any at the scene of the crime... and she left the Bowie knife at 'home' anyway.
And then she got a freezing cold drop of rain down the back of her neck.
And promptly sat down on the sidewalk.
"I don't want to be mature!" She wailed to herself, relatively quietly.

Tom:
He grimaced at Lola. As much as she catted at him, he had to commiserate. This sucked. Maybe one of theses days they'd get a fun mission. He kicked at the sidewalk.
Oh, well. Maybe something good would come of it.
He offhandedly gave Lola an Umbrella as a peace offering before sitting beside her and waiting for Eddy to park.

Mickey
Mickey came to as a gust of cool air hit him.
"Unhh?"
The hazy shapes of a pair of broad-shouldered men were lifting Lacey out of the van. The big lug shook his head to clear it. The mist was very slowly leaving his eyes. In a minute Mary Neat had been lifted clear as well, and soon the men were reaching for him.
"Ungh.."
After a few futile pulls, the men dropped Mickey's heavy legs. They clanged against the metal floor of the van.
"Hrmph. Thanks anyway, ya bums." Mickey grunted and pushed himself up. He reeled for a moment and then slipped out the side door.
Eddy was smirking and shaking his head as the bruiser swayed onto the pavement. "Ey, what's so funny, chump?" Mickey shook a thick finger at his cohort, "You're not so - - hey where ya goin?" The pavement spun up and hit the brute hard in the chin. "Ow."
Eddy passed him a handkerchief as Mickey sat up. Beside them the broadshoulders hauled the still woozy Panther out of the van and away. "Thanks, Ed." Mickey dabbed at his bloody chin. "You aint so bad, bub. Might hafta keep youts around. Any idea how long the ladies is gonna be out?"

"you're not too bad yourself but you're a real pain when you're unconscious you know that...Runt and I actually tried to help at first but then we decided it was no use...currently he's explaining his involvement with this mission to the Don. Hope he doesn't get in trouble due to me..."
Eddy paced back and forth while looking at the two others. Lacey seemed to come by but with mary it'll take longer due to her size....what about the panther...He looked at the two men carrying the beast.
meh they'll figure out what to do they brought the animal here like hey were supposed to it's now up to the don's goons to keeep it in check.
His eyes went from the goons to mary to mickey.
"she'll be sleeping for a while."
His eyes turned back to the building he checked every window and then turned his attention back to mickey.
"I'm worried about Runt..."

Mickey
Still cupping Eddy's handkerchief to his chin, Mickey scooted over to the sidewalk beside Lacey and the girl.
"Hiya, doll. Might wanna hoster yer irons 'fore you make the Don's cronies noivous." He gave Mary Neat a nudge with one hammy fist. She murmered something about her favorite kitty and turned over, eyes still shut. "Man, dat aint a pleasant experimance... experient... experiensation. You're head ringin' like a friggin' church-bell, too, GunBunny?"
That's when he noticed Tom and the crew from the other car heading over, none of them looking particularly pleased at the state of things.
"Aw, crap." Mickey grumbled, "I hope nobody yells at us."

"It's not like we cauused the explosions...hell i don't even have stuff that strong...whish I had thought there are a few people I'd like to visit then..."
He walked in the direction of the others while constantly eying the Don's men.
"What's with the long faces? eh and no yelling..I got a happy triggerfinger you guys noticed that already."
he laughed at his comment and hoped it'd bring a smile on their face too but it didn't seem to be working.
"look I can't help it that we're late, nor that those explosions went off...we got the kitten and we're still alive...that's a good thing I think."
He let out a sigh and sat down on the pavement next to tom. H e thought it smart to keep some distance between him a lola.

Lola
Slightly surprised, Lola took the umbrella from Tom, holding it on her shoulder so it covered the bothe of them and twirling it first one way and then the other, whirling water droplets from the edge and rumpling her clothes considerably.
"So. Worst day you've ever had or have you had one that could top it, bluebell?" She added the name without thinking, and then blinked slightly. Tom's bright blue eyes did, admittedly, remind her of someone who used to get called that, even though their name had nothing to do with bells or blue, for that matter. But still, that was no reason to lapse into reminiscing and nickname people off the cuff. But she had a habit of it, and bluebell kind of stuck; she remembered picking bluebells with the previous owner of the name, and in one place they grew, it was the same shade as both peoples sets of eyes.
Shaking it off, she observed Eddy and the others while waiting for Tom's answer. And probably his diclike of being called bluebell. Males didn't usually appreciate nicknames that included flowers... she had learned that from Dragonsnap; as soon as he saw the flower he swore off the name and almost pushed her off the tram onto a busy street when she accidently called him it.
