Macy couldnt believe the events that took place but nodded at Gatsby. She had a twinge of jealousy as he rubbed on the small she cat but Macy knew it was only to confort her. Soon though they were at the back of a bakery. The trashcans were filled with bread crust and cheese. Macy licked her lips and smiled. She then jumped into one of the cans and looked around for something worth eating. She ended up finding a half eaten sandwich. She immediately thought of drat and jumped out of the trashcan. She then went up to drat with a smile and the sandwich in her mouth. She then put it down and nudgedit toward drat. "Here. I know you lost yours."

Gatsby laughed.
"I rarely come here. My skin feeds me at my home. You can come here whenever."

He was pleased to have helped the alley cat, and hoped that maybe she would fare the winter better with a more steady food source.

Gatsby turned to Macy.

"We should probably go back to a building," he said. "I'm not used to being in the cold this much, and I don't want to get sick."

"Oh- that's great! I'll be sure to- um- come here a lot then!" Drat jumped out of the trashcan, holding a very, very stinky clump of cheese in her mouth. Her pelt drastically stunk of old expired cheese, it was so bad that she figured it would take several baths to clean off. Drat watched Macy jump out of her trashcan and purred with excitement when she saw the sandwich Macy handed her, until she realized it was her original sandwich. She stared at it for a moment then snapped back to reality. "It's wonderful! Thank you so much!" He didn't eat my sandwich..? Then why did he steal it? Drat didn't want to worry them with the sandwich so she kept it to herself. She waved goodbye and started happily padding back to her alley, her sandwich in her jaws.

Ensom carefully checked each alley he passed, scenting around to see if the cats he were looking for were in the area. He saw two young cats together, a bengal she-cat and a grey tabby tom. Both looked like Skin-helds, but that didn't mean they couldn't help him. He held his head high and walked over to the two cats. "Excuse me," Ensom called out when he was a few feet away. "Do you suppose you could help me find some of my friends?" He asked as polite as possible. When he remembered his face wasn't that pleasent to look at he added, "Don't mind my outward appearance, I got into a car accident as a kit." Ensom kept his strong, confident demeanor as he spoke to them, despite the fact that he almost winced when speaking about his scars.

After Macy had given Drat the sandwich she thanked her and then Gatsby said they should probably go. Macy nodded sadly before turning to Drat real quick, "Bye!" With that Drat left and so was Macy when a scared cat came up to them and began talking to them. A little shocked Macy somewhat hid behind Gatsby. She didnt want to be rude or anything- but he was kinda scary. Macy felt bad for him though as he told them what happened. She stopped hiding behind Gatsby and took a step toward the cat. "Hi! Im Macy. Im sorry for what happened but i can help! What do they look like?" Macy said, smiling.

Macy smiled, "Oh yes! Drat was here just a second ago! She went that way, back to her alley"

Macy pointed towards the direction Drat had just walked away. Just then Macy saw a tiny bit of blood on the cats claws. Worry flooded over Macy. Sure he couldve just came from hunting but Macy's instincts told her otherwise. As the cat was about to leave Macy spoke again, "Actually, Drat went, uhh that way." Macy pointed in the opposite direction with a fake but real looking smile.

Ensom turned back to the bengal cat at the sudden change of direction. Her first direction sounded clear, confident, and maybe a little excited. But her second one was nervous and maybe a little scared. His gaze hardened as she looked at her. She knows... I know she knows... But I can't harm her here with that tabby here... What was her name... Macy? Yes... "Thank you for your help, but I think I might just check this direction first, since it was the first place you pointed to and see if I can get a scent. If I can't, I'll just head back here. I know... Drat. She wouldn't travel far." He began to walk away until he stopped and turned aorund. "We will meet again, Macy." He smiled at her, he almost looked insane, but quickly turned back around and began following her first direction. This is only becoming more and more fun...

Desert Rose entered the area were Macy was just as Ensom was leaving. She slightly cocked her head as he left.

Gatsby had sat by as Macy gave the new cat directions.

Once he left, Gatsby looked at Macy.

"Ready to go?"
