"Come in," Mason purred after hearing a knock on his office door. Spinning his chair around, however, the cat almost jumped out of his skin as a familiar yet unexpected face approached his desk. "Snowball! Oh thank goodness! Everyone thought you died!" Mason cried, his green eyes filled with shock and surprise.

Crossing his arms, Snowball grumbled, "Yeah, I noticed. Thanks for reminding me." Leaning across the desk, the rabbit grabbed Mason's necktie and pulled the cat forward in his chair so they were face to face. Ear twitching in anger, he spat, "If you ever send me or a member of my gang in a place like that casino ever again, I'm gonna mess up this pretty necktie of yours with your own blood!"

Without another word, Snowball released Mason from his iron grip and left the cat's office, slamming the door shut behind his back.
