On the morning following Hurricane Jessica's first attack, a cat named Callum was sitting on the wall of the well, licking his paws in a bored sort of way. If he knew that four bodies and a head were floating in the water below him, it didn't seem to bother him. But then, he had more interesting things to think about.
He looked up as a pretty squirrel, known as Daisy, hopped into view. She looked up at Callum and smiled, and he smiled down at her. He jumped down from the wall, and bent his head for Daisy to jump on. The squirrel giggled (and if you've never heard a squirrel giggling, which I expect you haven't, you should know that it's quite a wierd sound) and she scampered up, curling herself up cozily on the back of his neck. Calllum and Daisy then prowled off on a long, romantic walk.
Jethro was watching all this from the house, and smiled. He considered the squirrel to be one of his best friends, and was glad to see her so happy, especially as he had told her all along that her and the cat were a perfect match. Because of this, he vowed now that he would never let anything hurt Callum and Daisy.
Little did he know as he made that promise how much it would cost him later on...
