Firework blinked for a second, deep in thought. "Last time I saw him we were....outside...." Minty opened her eyes wide. "You LEFT him! You left a Rattegan outside with hundred of bustling people? Are you crazy?!" She spat, glaring at the Rengosett. "Come on!" She yelled, zooming around. "Sewey! SEWEY! Where are you?" Fireworks climbed easily up a few buildings, trying to gain a better view. "I don't see him! Wait, toss me the binoculars!" Minty reached into her pack and pulled them out. Using her athlete arm, she tossed the binoculars directly to her, and Fireworks brought them to his nervous eyes. Scanning the ground, he sighed. "Any sign of him?" Minty called upwards. "Not a clue!" He called back, upset. How could he be so stupid to leave his friend, alone , on the ground, him being no bigger than a rat! In fact, he was one! Sighing once more, he slid down the buidling and onto the ground. A woman in her eighties apporached the pair. Her white hair reflected the sun, making her look like and angel with a soft glow. She grasped her raincoat in the warm weather and her wrinkles shook as she spoke quietly. "Excuse me, are you by any chance looking for a rat-like creature?" Minty's eyes widened. "Yea, have you seen him?" The woman nodded slowly, and replied. "Yes, I have. Your friend was taken by the zoo keeper. They've been trying to find a Rattegan for years now, for they are not common in these parts. He's probably in the zoo holding pen. It's down the road for about 50 miles. It's a large, beat up white building. You can't miss it." She said, pointing down the road with a pale, crooked finger. "Although you must hurry, for if you do not catch him in time, you will not be able to ever see him again. He is not for the exhibit. He is for food."
With us, there is no such thing as individulaity...
