Even though Mimi had bumped into those jerks on her way home, she still managed to make it back safely!
She crept along the cobblestone path, ears twitching at every sound. The mansion loomed ahead, its tall iron fence casting long shadows. Mimi tiptoed closer, praying no one would notice.
The gap between the bars was so narrow that a water bottle might barely fit through. Yet somehow, Mimi managed to squeeze her tiny body inside as if she were only a black blob made of liquid. Amazing!
Almost there. Just a few more steps and she would be in the safety of the house—
"AAAA! Found her! She's here!!!"
The sharp cry nearly made her fur stand on end. A maid had spotted her the very instant she padded across the threshold!
"WHERE?"
"AAA! Catch her!!!"
Mimi jumped in surprise. She tried to run, but then—
HUP!
Someone was faster. They scooped her up and pulled her into a tight hug.
