What kind of soldier are you? You are a cat burglar.

Yin. You steal food from supermarkets for Lord.

Yumi. Ah, now I see! So you wanted to teach me how to steal too?

Toy. Cards on the table. Yes, been there, done that. Guilty.

Pause.

Toy. I planned to rob the supermarket and then shift all the blame on you, Yumi.

Yin. I called it. Such a rascal.

Toy. Though I mend my ways.

Titmouse. A leopard cannot change its spots. Don’t you get mixed up with him, Yumi! He has some bad genetics.

Yang.

Yin. Yes, Yumi! Kick him away. You are stronger.

Yumi. I thought you were my friend, but you… Grrr!!!

Yumi and the little mice move up to the kitten.

Toy. Take it easy, dear members of the jury. Play it cool. I know how to let your mother free!

Pause.

Yumi. What have you just said?

Toy. I know how to let your mother free.

Yumi. Go ahead.

Toy. You mom was taken by the animal tormentors from Khorkov’s band, wasn’t she?

Yumi.

Toy. She is in the animal control center now, right?

Yumi. Yes. Aunt Titmouse saw them taking her there.

Titmouse. Yes! I saw it with my own eyes! A dreadful place. No one has ever gone there and came back alive.

Toy. Stop cawing, crow.

Titmouse. I am a titmouse, not a crow.

Toy. I’ve noticed that. Crows are much smarter.

Titmouse. What a bounder! What do you think you are?!

Toy. A slingshot groans for you, scandalmonger.

Yumi. Stop fighting!

Yin.

Yang. Yes, Toy, go on. How can we save Greta?

Toy. I worked in with the cat burglar gang. What else was I supposed to do? I am an orphan. I had to survive on the street.

Yang. We know it already, what’s next?

Yin. Let him finish, don’t interrupt.

Toy. I can break into the cage where they put your mom.

Yumi. Will you really manage to do it?

Toy. You bet!

Titmouse. Look at him throwing dust in our eyes, whiskered rascal. It’s easy to tell stories.

Toy. My father was the best safebreaker in this city. He taught me everything. But then my father died…

Yumi. It means you are really an orphan?

Toy. Yes. But one day I will take vengeance for him.

Yin. How can we find this animal control center?

Yang. It is probably far from here.

Toy. I know the way there and I will help Yumi get into the building.

Yumi. And what’s next?

Toy. The rest is paperwork. We will find your mom.
