"Mordecai?" The cat in front Natasha fixed his cufflink before looking her up and down, taking in her clearly disheveled appearance. "I assume you weren't expecting my visit. Well, let me make this quick. I on behalf of Mr. Asa Sweet, would like to recruit you for the Marigold." The female stood there in shock and disbelief. Her? Join Marigold? "Have you lost your damn mind? No I'm sorry, has HE lost his damn mind? Me join Marigold? Never." Going to close the door, Mordecai stopped it looking her deep in the eyes. "I don't think you really have a choice. Look at how you're living." Natasha rolled her eyes and let out a sigh of annoyance. "I'm not going to betray the cats who saved my life. Not everyone can be as horrible and heartless as you Mordecai."

As Natasha tried her hardest to slam the door in his face, another paw stopped her. This paw was large and wrapped in bandages. “I advise against that sweetheart. Mr.Sweet takin a real likin to ya. Now lookin at you, I know why.” Raising an eyebrow and pistol still in paw, Natasha looked over to Mordecai. “Who is this?” Before Mordecai could answer, the large cat pushed the door open to show his full form. He definitely had to be a fighter at some point with how muscular he was. His white fur looked a bit ruffled but it was to be expected if he was what Natasha thought he was. “Nicodeme, but you can call me Nico. you sure are a pretty little thing aint ya? What you think Serafine? She your type?"

Suddenly, a new face popped up.  A pretty white cat with black hair pulled back in a tight bun. Unlike the male Nicodeme, her fur looked silky smooth. Natasha was never one to care about the genders of her one night stands, but this cat in front of her made her really question her sexuality. The lipstick that painted her lips was the selling point for her. “She’s real cute. And I see you're packing some serious firepower. That gun looks heavy mon petite. Need any help?” Both of these new faces made Natasha forget her words and composure but she was soon brought out of her trance when she heard Mordecai speak again. “I thought I asked you both to stay in the car?” Natasha noticed he sounded a bit irritated. Though there wasn't a time she knew him when he didn't sound irritated.

“Well you were takin too long cher. We just wanted to see what you were up to.” Serafine said winking at Natasha causing the latter to blush and try to cover it up with a cough. Sighing in defeat, Mordecai looked back to Natasha. “Mr.Sweet is insistent. And he will continue to pursue you. Which means I'll be here every night. Asking for your acceptance for this offer. His patience won’t run out. It'll only grow. Consider it.” As Mordecai turned to leave, the savoy siblings both smirked at Natasha. “Don't take too long to think it over honey. I”m lookin forward to working with you then workin with you.” Serafine licked her lips at the other female while Nicodeme slid a paw around to squeeze Natasha’s ass and stroke her tail gently. “Let's get going. We have more business to tend to."

The siblings then slipped away as Natasha watched in awe. She clearly had no idea how to really react to not one but two hot siblings who were VERY interested in her. Closing the door, Natasha thought about her time with the Lackadaisy crew, her life with the late owner and how leavin the gang to work for the competition could effect her and her friends. She knows she'll never be allowed back there. She'll never be able to see them again. She'll never be able to talk to them again. She sighed and thought to herself. Was it really worth it? The next day, Natasha stood next to Ivy at the register of the Little Daisy cafe. As Ivy talked Natasha's ear off, the latter was busy thinking about the offer she received the night before.

Could she really betray them? She didn't want to but did she really have a choice? She hadn't gotten paid in over a year and bill collectors only have so much patience. The more and more she thought about it, the more Natasha realized, she just couldn't do it anymore.she was suffering trying to bring back a time that was long gone. And whether she liked it or not, the world and the economy was changing. Either get with it or die trying. And she was way too unstable to let the former happen. With her mind finally made, all that was left was to tell her crew.

That night, Natasha asked to meet Mitzi privately in her upstairs office. After a bit of small talk, Natasha let it spill. “Miss M? I think it is imperative to tell you this. I've decided to end our business together. In other words, I quit.” This completely caught Mitzi off guard. “You quit huh? Tell me, what brought this on?” The younger female refused to look the older female in the eye for fear of changing her mind. She had history with Mitzi. She and Atlas took her in when she was only 17 but times had changed. She had grown and she was now heading in a different direction. “ I got a job offer from a credible source and I feel like I should explore my horizons. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed my time here and Lackadaisy will always be my home but… I feel like it's time for me to go. I'm very grateful for what you and the late Mr. Atlas did for me. I really appreciate it.”

Mitzi sighed and stood from her desk to walk to Natasha. The younger female wasn't sure what she was in for until she was embraced by the older female. “I completely understand. I just hope you don't forget your roots and come by to visit." Natasha hugged Mitzi back and felt tears come to her eyes. “I will. I swear. Now to tell the rest of the crew.” Needless to say, not everyone was as understanding as Mitzi when Natasha announced her departure.”Rocky I know you're sad but please let go of her leg honey.” Mitzi tried to get a sobbing Rocky to let go of Natasha’s leg while Ivy had Natasha in a stone cold grip. Next to her was Freckle who was holding one of her paws like a little kitten who was waiting for his mom.

“DON'T GO NATASHA!! PLEASE DON'T GO!!” Zib and Viktor watched from the sidelines as Natasha tried to pry Ivy and Rocky off her. Once she did, she promised them that she would visit as much as possible and they would probably see her sooner than they thought.after giving Ivy, Rocky and Freckle their respective hugs, she made her way over to Viktor and Zib.”So you're leaving huh? Well don't die, don't hop in strange cat’s cars and don't do drugs. Always say no.” The mostly drunk tabby said as he looked at her while Viktor only patted her head.

Knowing that was the best she’d get from them, Natasha said her final goodbyes before leaving the speakeasy. On her way home she was greeted by the Savoy siblings and Mordecai in their car. “Are you ready?” Sighing and taking in a deep breath, Natasha nodded. Seeing this, Mordecai opened the door for her to climb in. As the 4 drove off, they weren't aware that they had a witness.  “Natasha? A marigold?”
