3rd April 9pm Tracy Island

Kyrano padded up to the front door of Christopher's flat, holding his passkey. Brandon was waiting outside the door. The yowling had stopped; maybe Asterix was very tired now.

"I hope he's all right," Brandon said.

"I am sure that Mister Asterix will be fine," Kyrano said as he opened the door and went inside. Switching on the lights, he walked into the kitchen where he saw that Asterix was sleeping in his furry bed.

"Yes, I see that the bowl is nearly empty. Only a few pieces of kibble remain. I shall give Asterix some canned food and leave him to sleep." Kyrano wrinkled his nose. "I will also remind Mr. Jordan to keep the litter box clean."

Brandon stroked Asterix's head. The cat opened one eye, yawned, and began to purr. He stood to stretch, then turned around twice and settled down again to nap.

"Good to see you're okay, little buddy," Brandon murmured.

Christopher yawned and blinked as he opened his eyes. The darkness was nearly upon him, his stomach was rumbling, so he decided to head back home.

Picking up his bag, he noticed that all the beer had been drunk. So, that is the cause of my light-headedness. Pulling himself to his feet, he walked unsteadily back to his flat. Going inside he switched on the lights, which hurt his eyes.

"Asterix!" he called out. "Come on, mate!"

Nothing. Not even a mew.

He looked around his flat. He found his cat curled up in his cat bed. The bowl was half-full of cat food, both canned and kibble. "Hm. I didn't do that. I wonder..."

A folded piece of paper, carefully tented on the kitchen table, caught his eye. He opened it, finding it hard to focus on the neat lettering.

It read, "Mr. Jordan,

Your neighbors expressed concern over your cat's well being because he was meowing incessantly and you could not be found. I entered your apartment to find your cat was unharmed and asleep. I have given him some canned food, and left him, but in the future, please see to it that he is amply supplied with food and water before you leave for an extended period of time. Perhaps a feeding station would be a wise precaution seeing as you will often be gone for hours with rescue duties.

I also must remind you to keep the litter box clean. The odor in your apartment is unpleasant.

Thank you,
Tuan Kyrano"


Christopher groaned. "Looks like I owe Kyrano my apologies." He glanced over at the litter box. "Now that he mentioned it... I'd best set about clearing that lot out. I just hope my stomach is up to it!"
