Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Minds At Safe Havens, For Now

LabRat meanwhile was with Bitsy and Lenny as the trio of critters were still injured after their duels. LabRat was gotten up to his feet by his allies.

“Urgh… I can't believe we failed…” He said to them,

“Doesn't matter…” Bitsy said, “We have to regroup and then–”

Then, police sirens went off.

“--Oh no!” Lenny shouted, “We're too weak to escape! They're surrounding us!”

Police cars came and surrounded the trio. Cops came out with guns in their hands and pointed at them.

“FREEZE!” One policeman shouted, “HANDS UP AND STAY SILENT!”

The trio put their hands up in defeat. It seems that they will no longer be serving their Prince Prototype as they will now be serving a long time behind bars.

CatNap meanwhile was slowly waking up at the sight of his parents and his sister.

“Uhhhh… Mom?” He said, quietly while also groaning, “Dad? KittyNap? Is that you three?”

“Yes, it's us.” CatNap's father replied, “Thanks for saving KittyNap.”

“Yes, you're a lifesaver.” CatNap's mother said,

“Thank you, big bro.” KittyNap said with a smile,

“Ugh… Where am I?” CatNap wondered,

“In the hospital.” CatNap's father replied, “Thank God we have free healthcare in this economy.”

“Why am I in the hospital?”

“You fainted.” KittyNap replied,

“Oh… Now I know why…”

“Well, I suppose we'll leave you alone to recover.” CatNap's father said,

“But wait, do you want your friends, CatNap?” CatNap's mother asked him, “They're waiting for you outside.”

“Yeah, that sounds nice.” CatNap replied, “Thanks.”

“You're welcome. Get well soon.”

“I'll try… Thanks.”

CatNap's family left as CatNap's friend group came in with smiles on their faces.

“CatNap, you're ok!” DogDay said as he went over to hug CatNap while he was in his hospital bed,

“And you did it!” CraftyCorn said as she also hugged CatNap while still in his hospital bed,

“G-Guys, I'm trying to recover here.” CatNap said,

“Sorry…” CraftyCorn said as she let go,

“Sorry.” DogDay said as he also let go, “But still, you actually did it!”

“Yeah…” CatNap said after he sighed in relief, “I don't have to worry about that freak ever again…”

CatNap then realized something. He was talking through something.

“What's covering my face?” He wondered,

“You're only wearing a face mask.” Bubba replied, “The doctor said that you can wear one while exhaling red smoke. Still, it is a very rare sign to see a critter conduct red smoke. It is possible to get rid of it, but the results or ways of doing so are unknown.”
