Slylock Fox

"Open up, police!"

Cassandra Cat hastily throws on a robe and opens the door. Max Mouse flies through on a skateboard, followed by Slylock Fox.

"Citizens reported prank phone calls coming from your home earlier this evening, Cassandra." says Slylock.

Used to the oppressive nature of the police and their endless persecution, Cassandra does her best to hide her irritation. "I wasn't home earlier this evening. I just arrived a few minutes ago, lit scented candles, and started water for a bubble bath."

She's hoping to distract the fox, maybe he'll leave her alone this time. But Max carelessly skates around, knocking a burning candle onto the carpet and the chance is lost.

"Aha!" cries Slylock. "A significant amount of liquid wax has spilled. There wouldn't be that much melted wax if you'd lit that candle a few minutes ago."

Cassandra sighs as Max ineptly tries to put out the rapidly spreading flames. Another night in jail on trumped up charges and yet more property damage thanks to the fox's irrational vendetta.
