"Good morning everyone! I hope you all slept well!" Clem's voice cheered over the loud speakers. She is to much of a morning person, but nobody really minds. She is the reason people get to work on time.

I roll out of bed and grab a plain green tank top, then I take out dark blue leggings and throw them on. When I leave the room everyone on my floor is running around and getting ready to start their day. I don't have a job, but, sometimes I tag along with the people who do have jobs just to get out of the warehouse. "Wanna come to work with me today?" Nami asks popping out from the crowded hallway, I nodded and went back in my room to grab my light blue hoodie.

I nodded to Nami when I exited my room, we started walking down the hallway talking about random small things, there isn't a lot to talk about when you literally live together. We leave the warehouse and get into her rusty van, then we started to drive. "So when do you think Kino's gonna snap?" She asked staring at the road, "I don't know. I hope never." I sighed leaning back into the seat, "When do you think the hero's will stop blaming big cat's?" She whispers, "that, I really don't know..." I say.

We finally reach the dollar store that Nami works at. Before I exit the car she nudges my arm with something, "sun glasses." She says and hands me a pair, I put them on and we enter the store. It is a small store in the city, but it keeps Nami going. When we go in the store we are greeted by Hammy, the store manager. "Ah! Hello Sunny, will you be helping out today?" He smiles, I nod and jump over the counter along with Nami.

The first customer was a young lady with a little girl. They walked around until they brought two bottles of Sprite to the counter. Nami smiles and scans them, as the lady goes into her wallet she asks, "Have you heard what the hero's have been doing?" I give her a look and shake my head no. "Well, they have been catching a lot more big cat's recently and they are saying that the lion population is almost gone in this city." She laughs before grabbing the sodas and saying "I'm glad I'm not a big cat." Then she leaves.

"I hate this!" I growl as we walk down the street to the closest Starbucks. "Hey we should just keep our mouths shut about this to Kino." I sigh as we enter the store, Nami is right, as long as Kino doesn't know then he's fine. "What can I get for you ladies?" The man behind the counter barks. Oh yeah, he has to be a dog. "Can we get two hot chocolates, please?" Nami asks, "name?" "Dello." Nami say's. We use fake names when people ask for them, just to stay on the low.

The man gives us our drinks and we sit down in a booth with a nice cold ac above us. I sit facing the door so I can see people enter and exit, but Nami is facing me. I take a sip of my hot chocolate when I hear the bell on the door ring, I look up and almost choke. I see batowl, batcoon, and taxman step inside. The place goes quiet and batowl speaks, "Hello everyone, we are just doing a check to make sure there are no unwanted animals in here." Me and Nami new he was talking about big cat's, but she was confused on why they brought taxman along, I pulled her close to my face and she looked at me with fear. My heart began to race before I whispered the words to her, "Nami, he's a fox." She starts to sweat as taxman turns into an orange fox and starts sniffing people one by one. "put your hood up." I whisper through gritted teeth, we slowly lift up our hoods. Taxman is almost at our booth and we are both holding our breaths, I suddenly feel something rubbing against my legs, I look and see a bloodhound, "don't make a sound." It was the guy that gave us our drinks, he rubbed against me and Nami's legs and then sat next to me in his human form. When taxman sniffed his leg he whispered "bloodhound." Then he smelled me and Nami, we held our breath before he said, "bloodhound." Batowl eyed us down and walked over to our booth, "three bloodhound's?" He asks squinting his eyes, I go to speak but the bloodhound beats me to it. "Yes sir, these are my younger sisters, Dello and Mell." Batowl eye's down me and Nami's hair, "hair?" He asks, "that's what happens when mom divorces and starts dating a Poodle and Pomeranian." He laughs, Batowl gave us one last glance before him and the others left. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, and so did Nami, "thank you." I sigh happily, "No problem, to be honest, I think it's wrong what they do to big cat's. Just be carful next time cause not everyone likes your kind." He gets up and walks back behind the counter, Me and my tiger friend got up and left for the warehouse.

"Your late!" "You smell like a bloodhound!" "Girl's what happened?!" People bombarded us with questions, we didn't answer, we just walked up to Kino. "I need everyone in the lunchroom now. This is an emergency!" Kino grabbed Clem and ran to the loud speaker room while me and Nami ran to the lunchroom and stood up on top of the counter in front. We heard Clem over the speakers, "Everyone to the cafeteria! This is an emergency!" I heard footsteps running, the room filled up with all different people and Cheetah's who looked tired from running. Kino stood next to me, he handed me a microphone and went to sit with Clem and Demi with her two cubs.

"Hey everyone. Me and Nami didn't mean to alarm or scare any of you, but we have to say what's happening. Me and her went to Starbucks after work. We ordered and sat down, after a few minutes Batowl, Batcoon, and Taxman entered the shop-" People gasped and looked a us as though we were ghosts. "As some may know, Taxman is a fox. Fox's have excellent smell, Batowl said, and I quote 'we are just doing a check to make sure there are no unwanted animals in here.' luckily for me and Nami, the man who served us was a bloodhound and he was against what they are doing to big cat's, he covered our legs with his scent and lied. He said we were his sister and used our fake names. I am scared that this is going to be becoming a regular thing that the 'hero's' do. I want people to be on the look out on what day's they go into what stores, i want people to put on gallons and gallons of perfume or colon, as long as it covers up you scent. If this doesn't work we will have to store up food before they do searches. Thank you for listening, and please be carful!" I finished, me and Nami jumped off the counter and immediately there was a whole lot of commotion.

Me and Nami walked into my room. We turned into our tiger forms and started to rub each other with our head's to get our scent back. When we were done she left for her room, I laid on my bed and took deep breaths. They think they are smart and this is how they'll get us? Were smarter, and together we work hard! It scares me to know I could have died today, but what scares me more is that more of our people could be vanishing within the day. I sighed rubbing my head, "It's okay to be scared, but don't let that fear overpower your mind and control you." I then relax in my bed until I pass out from my panic attack.
