Sean picks up the trap with a huge smile smeared
all over his face.
Rachael leans over his shoulder to take a look at the
innocent little mouse. The mouse is frantically moving its
disabled legs back and forth, its paws tightly glued to the sheet. It stops
its futile attempt at escape to look up at Racheal with big shiny black
eyes. "Oh, it's so cute!"
"That's horrible. Sean, you're awful . Now what are you
gonna do with it?" She eyes him suspiciously..
"Hmm. I haven't decided yet. I'm sure I can come up with
something interesting."
Just then Joey walks in. "Ah I see we have
a little specimen already. Fine young fellow." He says with mock
importance.
Rachael iss too busy glaring at Sean to notice.
"Oh Rachael, just give up. It's half dead already." Sean
tries to reason with her.
"Can't we just let it go or something?"
"Hello! Earth to Rache. Darling, the feet are permanently
glued here. I don't think an amputated mouse will last long in the wild."
Joey interjected.
She looked at him for a second. He could hear the little
engines puff puffing away in her mind. "Well, um, I might have an
idea.." she said.
