"Hey! you are not going to open another bottle dude," said Lion
" Hooow does it concern you eh? I..is it your business nah! Aaah.. don't be.. don't be boring. You know whaaat.. Don't be mad.. I'm not drunk at all.. just one more," stammered Roshi.
"I won't sit down doing nothing while you are ..."
"Meooow" their conversation was suddenly cut short.
"Kitty kitty... Come to me kitty," a woman's voice called as she staggered towards Roshi and Lion.
" You? Vivian? What has come over both of you today? It is already late in the night for heaven sake" complained Lion
" Both of us?" She looks around only to spot Roshi staring at something on the floor. "Roshi!" Turning towards the voice,
"Vian! Is that you? The Kitty, where has it come from?"
"Ooh the Kitty! I almost forgot. Give the Kitty to me. Michael likes kitty"
"Meow meow..." The kitty suddenly jumped and stood on Roshi's lap.
The following day, everyone was seated around the dining table except Roshi and Vivian. After they were done with breakfast, "aren't you going to wake Roshi up? It is almost work time," asked Michael.
"Wait, have you seen my pet? I haven't seen her since i woke up." He added
" That reminds me, yesterday Vivian and Roshi were fighting over some kitty," said lion.
" Hahaa... That's my children. Have they known the value of cats now. I hope it wasn't mine coz that's mine alone. My good luck. I have been with her ever since i was young," said Michael happily.
" Once you were young? You mean that young looking kitty is over twenty years old?" Asked the doctor.
"Of course she is. She never grows old just so you know. I'll never run out of luck"
" Are you sure boss? About the cat." Asked the driver doubtful.
" Why would i lie to you? I even gave her different names but she didn't like either so i gave up"
" How did you know she didn't like them?" Asked the driver
" She would claw and make incomprehensible noises whenever i called her ."
' All these sounds fishy' thought lion.
' is this Michael a normal guy really' thought the doctor.
'oh no! I've let my guard down around him for so long? I better be careful from now onwards." Thought the driver.
Each one was lost in their own thoughts and failed to realize that Vivian had already joined them. "Good morning all." She greeted but received no reply. Just then Roshi came from upstairs and seeting her eyes on him she forgot about the presence of the rest.
" Good morning Vian"
"Good morning Roshi," she answered her face starting to turn pink. Last nights events came rushing to her mind and finding her courage she asked catching the people's attention, " hey.. where is the kitty?"
" How would i know? Didn't we leave it at the bar?," said Roshi.
" What bar? She kept clinging to you and followed you all the way to your room." Informed Lion.
Standing abruptly, " you let that thing inside my room? Are you out of your mind?" Roshi complained as he rushed to his room.
'What is he reacting so much about? It is just a small kitty' thought Vivian.
Since others were done with breakfast, they bid Vivian farewell leaving her alone in the dining room. Inside Roshi's room, he turned and flipped everything but despite his undeterred efforts he found nothing. Minutes later he gave up and returned to the dining room.
"Where have they gone?" He asked.
"To the company i guess"
" Alright, I'll check their rooms too."
On the roof of the same building, two wolves one young and dark brown in colour and the other old, stronger and black in colour stood.
"He is leaving, i have to keep following him," said the older one shifting into a big young cat.
