A Dog's American Tail Chapter 10

This is just getting better and better.

Intent on locating the source behind the kidnappings amongst the Manhattan Mouse Colony, Dawncloud has spent the next couple of days scouring the neighboring territory's surrounding the safe zones.

And yet there is an unsightly delay to Dawncloud's search that is a major hindrance to the investigation.

Where the hell are the cats?!

For the first time ever Dawncloud can't sniff out a single one. With each failed search Dawncloud's frustration grows as irritation brews. It's as if all of them have vanished from the city limits inside Manhattan. And if any of the remaining ones do know something then they're deliberately keeping out of her perimeter range. It's well known throughout the New York City cats in all that Dawncloud fiercely guards this place and the last thing they desire is to get on the wrong side of her. Which makes this mystery even more perplexing than it already has presented itself.

As Dawncloud heads to where the Daily Nibbler is headquartered in order to reconvene with Nellie Brie she's left with far more questions than actual answers to present.

Right when Dawncloud reaches the alleyway besides the newspaper she manages to catch a conversation on the wind.

It's Tony and Tiger and they appear to be arguing about something quite fervently. Tony seems to be quite angry about not being allowed to follow a tip while Tiger is attempting to reassure his partner that it's probably too dangerous to go and if the tip is good from the information divulged to him then he'll probably get some good praise for it. And besides Tiger doesn't want to be anywhere near the Manhattan Monster if it really is hiding there in the first place.

The very moment the mere mention of Manhattan Monster registers in her mind Dawncloud instantly perks up and not in a good way. Dawncloud can already feel a headache coming on and she hasn't contracted a single one for an extensive length of time.

"You did what," exclaimed Dawncloud, furiously, emerging from her hiding place, neck fur bristling.

If it could happen Tiger came close to losing his fur from the near heart attack she just laid out on him. Tony is more restrained even though she practically frightened the shit out of him too.

"Dawncloud, when did you get here," asked Tony, a bit fidgety.

Ignoring Tiger entirely and beelining it straight for Tony, Dawncloud demands "What is this about the Manhattan Monster? And don't you dare beat around the bush, Tony. I want the facts and I want them now. Start talking."

So Tony relays to her about the hot tip he got, but he is insistent in not spilling who his source is no matter what she says. Dawncloud is so suspicious about this so doesn't desire to take any chances especially with everything that's going on. Since this all began Dawncloud made a point of accompanying Nellie and Fievel wherever they had to go. The knowledge that they departed without her on something so perilous really sets more than simply her nerves on edge.

Dawncloud's instincts hint to her there's an extremely high possibility this is a trap.

If Nellie or Fievel die before she gets to them then Mr. Tony is going to have some serious hell to pay.
