Glorified Milk

Well this is new. I sat in front of the screen with the others gathered around me. I had typed 83 lines of text to do a very complicated routing process just to....send an email back to one of my junk emails without anything being tied to it. Chill Cody, its all about presentation.

"Well what did you want to tell him exactly?" I asked glancing at Kyle.

Kyle frowned then took the computer and typed on it before handing it back. It was so simple it was almost painful.

"You sure that's going to be enough?" I asked staring at the small word followed by a paw print emoji. "Why? Will he even get the context behind the word why?"

"You said he's a genius, I think he'll manage." Kyle replied hitting the send button. "How fast do you think he'll reply?"

"Probably within five minutes." I replied. "He's very attached to his phone."

Under the table I flipped out my phone and typed in a reply without looking at it.

A moment later a new email appeared.

Why What? 

It was followed by a paw print.

I glanced at Kyle who was already frowning. As he stole my laptop from me again.

Why did you save Camo?

Why wouldn't I save him?

You're a destroy cat.

I don't like to be labeled. 

Kyle frowned again then added.

Are you on our side?

I'm on my own side.

"I don't like him already." Ryan muttered, "Just talking is giving me a headache."

What does your own side want for the outcome?

Whatever benefits me the most. Why are we still talking?

What is your goal?

Kyle stared waiting for a reply. After a few moments I finally gave him one.

Revenge

Kyle scoffed, "Great a lunatic."

"Hang on maybe we aren't asking the right questions." Noah grabbed the laptop and I had to adjust my seat to make sure I could see what he typed in.

Who do you aim to kill?

Them.

Who is them?

Wouldn't you like to know.

Who on my team cat!

No one on your team, they'd be dead already otherwise. 

Kyle frowned again. "This cat's impossible."

"Hey, you're the one who wanted his number." I scoffed.

Kyle taped a few words then deleted then and taped some other before deleting them, then finally settled on one.

Can I trust you?

What a silly question, define trust.

You said you weren't aiming to kill us, how far does that extend?

I have no desire to see anyone needlessly die. 

Needlessly?

No one from the game is my target, except for maybe the leader. 

Kyle's frown deepened.

So you are hostile toward me.

Not you, no. 

Pride?

I like to think of myself as a revolutionary. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to grab some glorified milk, I think the humans called it a cat-ppuccino? You should try it if you haven't.

Wait, how do you plan to win then? Do you want to destroy the planet? Do you count the humans as lives?

Kyle didn't get an answer and he tried typing a few more lines but I left it at that. Hopefully they won't try to actively kill me as much unless I provoke them first. If I need someone to attack me I'll just target the wildcat, he has plenty of anger at Snow.

I tossed the monitoring device to Kyle. "Go catch your kitty already. Preferably before he gets his claws on a giant battery please."

I have the feeling tonight is going to be very fun. I need to go meet up with my own group and try to steal/not steal a battery, this should be good.

"And stop giving me that look, I'm going home." I added as I stood up.

They stood up as well and then I remembers. Catnip, they still live with me. Does this mean I'm going to have to shoo them out of my house? Or come up with some excuse to leave? This just keeps getting harder. I frowned, the chances of me slipping up at some point keep growing, I don't like that.

As much as I am a genius, I am sadly not flawless.

"Oh Cody wait."

I turned to Ryan and she tossed me an earpiece.

"We might as well use our full communication network. This way we can talk while we are away. You can just watch us on your laptop and give us feedback.

Shoot, that was a good idea, one I had been avoiding for obvious reasons.

"What if one of the destroy cats track her down because of it?" Kyle immediately tried to grab the earpiece from me so I block him.

Couldn't he have been a bit faster? Stop acting like you don't have cat reflexes!

"Stop whining just because you have a crush on her." Ryan rolled her eyes and Kyle and I both shouted.

"I do not have a crush on her!"

"He doesn't have a crush on me!"

"Yeah, mmmhmm, sure thing." Ryan smirked and handed me the earpiece. "Here you go buddy, I would love your help even if lovesick here doesn't. But you both really need to work on that, its obvious to the entire office that you both have a thing for each other. Please put us all out of our misery already."
