“Have you seen the cat? She’s not anywhere,” Madison said, looking around the living room for Walt. She’d already been though the apartment twice, and it wasn’t that big.

“Oh shoot. Oh shoot. Oh shoot,” Butterbean muttered as she ran in circles in the living room. She did not have a plan to handle this. Walt had said to cover for her, and distraction was Butterbean’s main covering technique. But for some reason racing around the living room was not working.

Mrs. Food waited for Butterbean to race by as she made her way to the kitchen. “Oh, you know cats. She’ll show up when she’s good and ready.” She stepped over Butterbean as the dog rounded the turn.

“I guess. It’s weird that I can’t find her, though.” Madison stood thoughtfully, stepping out of the way every time Butterbean made the circuit. “Maybe I’ll look in the office again.”

“Good plan,” Mrs. Food said.

“Thank goodness,” Butterbean said, collapsing on the floor as Madison left the room.

The rats burst out in a round of applause. “Way to go, Bean!” Polo cheered.

“Those circles were awesome!” Marco said. “I almost threw up!”

“Thanks,” Butterbean said, blushing. Maybe she’d mix things up a little more next time. Figure eights would keep them on their toes.

Oscar eyed the vent nervously. He didn’t think Madison was going to give up the search. He just hoped Walt would be back in time.
