Bad Karma is Not Kind to Zander Rat

Dr. Zander Rat now lives with the damage caused by that beating Cheesah Meerkat gave him.


He should be called, "Hard Knocks Zander".

CHAPTER 1. The Old Sport Car Brought in for Repair.

Continued from http://sofurry.com/view/683780

The upholstery and carpet in Zander's 1954 Lanca PF 200 sport car had gotten a bad case of mildew from having the top down in all that heavy rain a month back. This was the day for Zander Rat to bring the car to the restoration shop where he had it restored 8 years ago at a cost of 55 thousand rupees. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/143904150563292120 . Of course, being laid up in a hospital from a well deserved beating in a parking lot, and having bad blood with co-workers so no one puts the top up during two days it rained, didn't help matters much. Not to mention after someone did put the top up, two youths put it back down, a security guard put it back up, and a fellow doctor put it back down...then it rained again. Zander Rat now had to get out of bed extra early in the mornings. It takes extra time to put in those denture plates...a little sea bond ought to make sure they stay in place. "Damn you, you fucken' meerkat...SHIT!", Zander Rat said as he gazed in the bathroom mirror at the nasty scar that will always be on his lower lip for life. Zander then continued with the tedious task of putting the contact lens on his right eye...made by Bosch and lomb, but compliments of Cheesah Meerkat. Zander was wishing about that time he had never seen a meerkat, much less tried to circumcise one. A meerkat uncle who's still young and wild can be a wrathful thing. And Zander was still trying to get episodes of "The Meerkat Friends Variety Show" out of his mind, and sometimes that "Meerkat Christmas Karaoke" song would stick in his head long enough to drive him batty. http://youtube.com/watch?v=xzocEeiD10M After Zander finished "assembling his face" in the bathroom mirror, he got the keys to the Lancia. Walking through the house on his way out to the car wasn't as bad as it had been since that beating he got from Cheesah Meerkat a month back. For the first two weeks out of the hospital, walking was difficult because of that crushed testicle that had to be removed. And by the way, Zander has often cursed Cheesah for that too. As Zander backed his car out out of his garage, he noticed he had to turn more of his body around to see behind him. His neck doesn't turn as well as it did since being dislocated. Before the appointment to have his car at the restoration shop, Zander had some time to stop in at his favorite cafe for some breakfast...get to try those new choppers out some more. It was annoying on his way to the cafe how his vintage sport car had no carpet on the bare metal floor board, no upholstery on the doors and the car stunk with the reek of mildew. The mildew had gotten so bad in the car, he had to cut the carpet and upholstry out with a utility knife. Not to mention that the horn and some of the gauges no longer worked. But that was to be all fixed and made right at the shop. When Zander got out of his car at the cafe, he took another look at the big dent in the right quarter panel, as he had already done several times before. "Why can't some animals watch where they back a car?", Zander muddled. Zander still had no idea how the dent got there. It was a really nice looking car that Zander paid 55 thousand rupees having it restored 8 years ago. That was, up until a month ago. Once Zander got his breakfast, he still noticed his left jaw joint would have an occasional "click" as he chewed, "chomp chomp chomp chomp >click< chomp chomp >click< chomp chomp chomp". Sometimes a broken jaw is never the same either. After Zander finished eating, and paid his bill, he had to go into the restroom and reset his denture plates. Trying to cut the pee-wee hood off of an 8 year old meerkat cub just wasn't worth it. Twenty minutes later, Zander arrived at the restoration shop with the Lancia. "You don't see many of THOSE any more. 1954 Lancia Aurelia", a weasel, one of the techs, said as others gathered around to have a look at the odd looking car. "The car with the round grill", Howard Lemur laughed. "It certainly is a relic. This is 2014. It turned 60 last month.". That old Lancia seemed to stand out among the other collectable cars that were there. Before long, Jangar, a lesser red panda had a clip board with an estimate work sheet, tallying up the expense it would cost to get Zander's 1954 Lancia right again. "Are there other issues with the car?", Jangar Panda asked Zander Rat. "The horn hasn't worked, and some of the gauges stopped working since the car got rained in", Zander answered. "One of our techs will have look at the problem with the gauges", Jangar replied. "If it's from being in the rain with the top down, it will be the gauges themselves instead a matter of replacing sending units on the engine". "Well that's good news", said Zander. "Engine work is always expensive." "Oh, no no. That's NOT good news", said Jangar. "To replace those gauges, the dash board will have to come apart. And the steering column may have to be dropped to get to it. There's a lot more work involved going into a dash board". "Ohhhhh", Zander replied. "That quarter panel will have to be replaced", Jangar Panda added as he made more notations on the work sheet. "It can't be bondoed?", Zander asked. "It's beyond bondo", said Jangar. "Trust me. That quarter panel took a really bad whopping. There's no bending THAT one back out". "I just wish I knew who backed into it", Zander mentioned. Sammy Fox, an auto body repair tech, said, "I can look at that and tell that wasn't done by a car backing into it". "That's for sure. It's not the kind of damage from another car", Jangar told Zander. "That looks like your car was kicked by someone". "And I would say preeetty damn hard too", Sammy added. "What about the paint, Sammy?", Jangar asked. "Should the whole car be shot?" "We gave this car a makeover eight years ago", said Sammy Fox. Then he asked Zander if he had it painted since then. "No I haven't. That's the paint job you guys gave it", Zander answered. "Eight year old paint job", said Jangar Panda. "Oh yea. As old as that paint is, we'll never get the new quarter panel to match up right...especially silver. The whole car WILL have to be shot", Sammy said as Jangar made the notation on the work sheet. By the time the estimate was tallied up, Zander was looking at the damage cost to his car being at fourteen thousand rupees. Zander told the other animals at the shop that he won't be able to pick the car up for a few months because the estimate was more than what he could pay right now. He would have to save up some money to get it back out of the shop after it is fixed. "Your insurance won't cover it?", Jangar asked. "I only have liability on this car", Zander replied as everyone looked in astonishment that someone would have a car that valuable and not insure it. "I can't believe you don't have a car like this insured", said Howard Lemur. "I know I would if it were mine", Sammy added. Zander couldn't borrow any money from the family either. He did a good job of burning that bridge with the way he treated everyone over how Dad's estate was awarded out. And with their phone numbers changed, he hasn't been able to contact them for the past 8 years. After making the arrangements, The owner of the shop was OK with the car being there for a while after it was repaired. But Zander was also advised that any car left over 90 days was subject to being sold. After leaving the car off at the shop, Zander caught a bus back to within a short walking distance to his house. Zander was not without a car in the meantime. He still had that Dodge Viper he got with some of his inheritance money he squandered when his dad passed away 8 years ago. http://youtube.com/watch?v=XwA7PRj0O5A

CHAPTER 2. A Bad Evening at Work.

Late in the afternoon the same day that Dr. Zander Rat dropped off his Lancia to be repaired, he was scheduled to work evening shift at the hospital. When Zander now drives into the hospital parking lot, he always gets the "hebie jeebies" seeing the location where Cheesah had beat him up. That's when he would also look at that lip scar in the car's rear view mirror, and move his tongue over the denture plates he was still getting use to. Zander had been choosing places to park near the hospital building. He felt safer parking where he could have a short walk between the building and his car. Plus Zander had the thought in the back of his mind that if he got beat up again, and if the top was down on the Viper when it happened, the Viper would get rained in like the Lancia did. And Zander had been scanning the parking lot to make sure Cheesah wasn't out there before getting out of the car. You might say by now, Zander had a good case of meerkatfobia. Dr. Clyde Wolf was working early day shift for two days that week. As Dr. Rat was about to enter the hospital, he met Dr. Wolf who was getting off that afternoon. "Heeeyyy there, Dr. Scar Face. Gonna circumcise any meerkats tonight? Ha ha ha", Dr. Wolf asked Dr. Rat on his way out. "Quit iiiiiiit", Dr. Rat protested. "Oh prunella, how pathetic. How lame", Dr. Wolf replied. "You better quiiiit. One day I might get up the nerve to give you a slappin", Dr. Rat bluffed. "Is THAT right? You and what army, you geek?", Dr. Wolf laughed, then warned Dr. Rat, "You better not even think of laying a paw on ME, Punk. If you think that meerkat fucked up your world, I'll be happy to show you what a WOLF can do to ya. That meerkat aint shit compared to what I'LL do to you, Fuck Head". "Stop pickin' on meeeee", Dr. Rat protested. "Wanna make me stop?", Dr. Wolf arrogantly asked Dr. Rat. "I'm here in the parking lot. Bring it on, Buddy. Come on. Come on, Rat Pussy. Come on, Pussy". "Leave me aloooone!", Dr. Rat replied with a tear in his eye.

As the horn of a train passing through Salem can be heard off in a distance, Dr. Wolf continued, "I know a place in this parking lot the cameras don't see. But you're real brave when it comes to cutting up a cub's penis. Aren't you, you perverted rat pussy? Or cutting up someone's penis who's under anesthesia and can't fight back. Come on, Rat Pussy. Wanna piece of me? Go for it, Pussy. Punk. Let me show you how a wolf can REALLY fuck up your world, you perverted, worthless piece of shit." As Dr. Rat stormed away, Dr Wolf called out to him, "Hey, Scar Face! There having a real good episode of The Meerkat Friends Variety Show tomorrow morning! You ought to watch it!.....HA!" Dr. Wolf laughed all the way out to his car as Dr. Rat was bumming out with tears in his eyes as he went into work. In spite of Dr. Rat's incurable obsession to cut off penis sheathes, he was in no mood to cut a sheath that evening. Dr. Wolf put Dr. Rat on the spot so bad, just the mere thought of performing a circumcision made Dr. Rat feel so funky he felt like he couldn't even show his face. For the first two hours on shift, Dr. Rat just sat in the doctor's lounge, blank staring in a trance at the clock on the wall. If there was a time Dr. Rat felt like the song "Make the World Go Away" http://youtube.com/watch?v=LZf6m_ROIKo , that evening was it. It had been two hours, traditional music of India was playing softly over the lounge's PA system http://youtube.com/watch?v=b7Cgc5nVVkU, and Dr. Rat was still sitting in the lounge, alone, meditating and loosing himself in frustrating thoughts, as flash backs began to run through his mind of hearing "Ele ser Zander Rato" and the vivid memory of the snap kicks and jab punches, followed by that snap kick in the mouth and lights out. Dr. Rat even recalled a split second whiff of the popcorn like smegma scent emitting from Cheesah's genital when Cheesah kicked him in the mouth at the point of "lights out". Again, repeating flash backs ran through Zander's mind "Ele ser Zander Rato", kicks punches, kick in mouth, lights out. "Ele ser Zander Rato", kicks punches, kick in mouth, lights out. "Ele ser Zandr Rato", kicks punches, kick in mouth, lights out. "Ele ser Zander Rato", kicks punches, kick in mouth, lights out. Sometimes the repeating flash backs ran in slow motion. Sometimes the flash backs ran in normal time lapse. Then different flash backs: Young Raphael Meerkat, pneumonia patient. Protracting the meerkat cub's penis out of sheath as the cub is freaking out. Trying to get a circ clamp in it. Being shoved away by Daddy Meerkat. "Stay away from my Son or I'll kill you, you creep - This is your only warning". Then "Ele ser Zander Rato", kicks punches, kick in mouth, lights out. "Ele ser Zand...." "AHHHHHHHHHH!" Dr. Rat yelled as he slammed both fists down on the table he was sitting at so hard, the salt and pepper shakers hopped up off the table. Dr.Rat was well on his way to, as they say, "loosing it". "Hey, Zander! We need some help out here! What in Hell are you doing?!", Dr. Tavi Mongoose scorned as he came into the doctor's lounge. "Dr. Bear is having to pull away from a stroke victim to tend to a patent with a burn you should have been treating. And I'm busy with a car accident victim. We,re the only three doctors on emergency room staff here this evening. Where have you been?" Without a word, Dr. Rat got up from his table and followed Dr. Mongoose to the emergency room to tend to the burn victim. On their way through the hallway, Dr. Rat wrung his fists and went, "Oooooph!", as that Meerkat Christmas Karaoke song ran through his mind again. http://youtube.com/watch?v=xzocEeiD10M . "Are you OK?", Dr. Mongoose asked Dr. Rat. "Oh yea yea...Uh, yea yea yea", Dr. Rat answered as Dr. Mongoose gave him that look as if to say, "I'm not so sure about that". Dr. Mongoose directed Dr. Rat to the burn victim once they entered the emergency room. She was...of all other species she could have been...A MEERKAT. The burnt place on her body was the palm of her right paw. "Yea...Uh...I'm Dr. Rat", Dr. Rat introduced himself as his demeanor began to scare his patient. "He calls THAT a comforting introduction?!", Dr. Bear retorted. "We didn't learn it THAT way in med school", Dr. Mongoose added, then asked Dr. Rat, "Zander, are you sure you got it under control? Stop talking like you are crazy.", which scared the patient even more. "I'm OK. I'm OK", Dr. Rat assured. "Well......OK", Dr Mongoose replied. While Dr. Rat began to treat Clarice Meerkat for her burnt paw, he found out she had gotten her burn upon pulling a persimmon pie from an oven. One side of the hot pie slipped out of one of the hot pads she was holding it with, and without thinking, she tried to save the pie with an unprotected paw and burnt it on the hot pie pan. "I hate persimmon pie", Dr. Rat responded in a zombi like tone without thought to what he was saying. "What the Hell is he saying?!", Dr. Bear retorted. "Dr. Rat! Are you OK over there?!", Dr, Mongoose inquired. Dr. Rat gave no answer, but continued to treat his patient. By now , Clarice Meerkat didn't have much faith in the doctor who was assigned to her case. She was about ready to walk out and just try to treat it herself at home. About two minutes later Clarice Merkat screamed, "AHHH! LET GO OF MY PAW! LET GO OF MY PAW! LET GO OF MY PAW!", as she was trying to pull loose of the grip Dr. Rat had on her. Dr. Mongoose left his accident patient, a male badger, long enough to come over and investigate what Dr. Rat was doing. "YOU IDIOT! YOU DON'T APPLY IODINE TO A SEVERE BURN! YOU ARE CRAZY!", Dr. Mongoose reprimanded Dr. Rat as he slapped the iodine dauber out of Zander's paw. As Clarice Meerkat continued crying out in pain, Dr. Mongoose had Nurse Cheryl Fox get him some syringes and some local anesthesia. "Where did you lay the antibiotic ointment?", Dr. Mongoose asked Dr. Rat. "I was using THIS", Dr. Rat replied dumbfoundedly as he held up the bottle of iodine. Dr. Mongoose slapped the iodine bottle out of Dr. Rat's paw with it spilling all over the floor where it landed. "Sheryl, I also need some antibiotic ointment", Dr. Mongoose called to her. "STAND - BACK!", Dr. Mongoose sternly warned Dr. Rat. "You are crazy! Get out of the way! Stand - back - out of the way!", Dr. Mongoose continued as he gave Dr. Rat a stare stern enough to feel like it was cutting right through him. As soon as Nurse Fox got the supplies Dr. Mongoose requested, he wasted no time injecting the pain killing antestheaia into the palm of Clarice Meerkat's paw. Clarice felt so much better as the local pain killer soothed the pain from the burning iodine which had felt like fire in her paw. "Tavi! Look!", Dr. Bear exclaimed to Dr. Mongoose as he pointed out Dr. Rat returning from a sink with a wet sponge. "What are you doing with that?", Dr. Mongoose asked as he was finishing injecting Clarice Meerkat's paw. "Shouldn't we wash her paw first?", Dr. Rat asked. "Water on a burn?!", Dr. Bear retorted. Dr. Mongoose whirled around facing Dr. Rat, pointing a finger straight at the Rat, and said, "DROP IT, ZANDER!...I SAID DROP IT!". Zander just stood there, stupid looking, with both paws down by his side, holding the dripping, water soaked sponge in his right paw. Dr. Mongoose continued, "I MEAN IT!...DROP - IT - NOW!". Dr. Rat simply extended the fingers of his right paw, allowing the wet sponge to drop beside his right foot, the sponge making a >PLAP< sound as it hit flat on the floor. "Are you crazy? You didn't know water on a severe burn creates an ideal environment for infection?", Dr. Mongoose asked Zander. "You should know better. You had eight years of med school like the rest of us... And you had your med school diploma for twenty years." "Twenty TWO years", Dr. Rat promptly corrected the Mongoose. "Uh... Just... Just go home, Zander", Dr. Tavi Mongoose, who was the senior doctor at the emergency room that evening, told Dr. Rat. "Get out of here. You got the rest of the evening off". As Zander began to leave, Dr. Mongoose followed him as far as the door leading out to the parking lot, saying, " I hope you realize I'm reporting you to Administration tomorrow morning. "You're going up before another Medical Board inquiry. You have no business being a medical doctor, you know". As Zander began the short walk from the hospital building to where he had parked his car nearby, he visually scaned the parking lot as he was paranoid about Cheesah Meerkat getting him again. That evening, Cheesah was in Karakil visiting his parents, Bron and Lacara... nowhwere near the hospital in Salem. Huh oh. Oopsie doopsie. Zander must have had his head up his ass when he parked his car coming into work. There was a handicap parking sign in front of Zander's car he forgot was there, and a ticket on the windshield of Zander's car written up for a fine of 150 rupees.

For the whole drive home, Zander Rat's mind flashed back to that Meerkat Christmas Karaoke song, and he couldn't get it out of his head. http://youtube.com/watch?v=xzocEeiD10M. It was driving him batty. After Dr. Rat got back home, he couldn't get any sleep. He just sat at his dining room table all night long with that Karaoke song occasionally flashing back to him. He stared off into space and vegetated until dawn.

CHAPTER 3. Drowsy Doctor.

Zander had been staying up all night, sitting at his dining room table with the Meerkat Christmas Karaoke song running through his head. Zander didn't even bother to remove the denture plates from his mouth to have them soak overnight, and the contact lens in his right eye had fallen out during the night without him knowing about it and rolled off the table then onto the floor. Zander didn't have a hospital shift to work that day, but he did have a few patients who had office appointments to see him that morning. Zander did take the time to put a lens back in his eye. As for the the denture plates, there certainly was no time to soak them in a glass of water with a fizzie tablet. Zander's replacement teeth were really getting rankly stinky and yellow looking. They were never out of his mouth since the morning before. Zander, realizing this, said out loud, "That shittin' ass meerkat.....Meerkats suck....They really do. They reeeeeaaaaally do". Before Zander Rat experienced "Ele ser Zander Rato", kicks punches kick, lights out, Zander had a perfectly healthy set of his natural teeth, and never had a cavity in his life. Zander grabbed the keys to the Viper and headed out of the house being Dr. Zander "Stinkymouth" Rat. Zander got in and cranked up his Dodge Viper. He always did like that "bad ass" rumble when it idled. Before backing out, he goosed the accelerator one time with the engine sounding off, "VROOOOOOOMMMMMmmmmmmm brum brum brum brum brum brum...". Zander began backing out of his long driveway that ran past tropical gardens, banana trees, pineapple plants and under big, jacaranda shade trees. Just before Zander got to the front gate, he unknowingly allowed the left wheels of his Viper to run over into the grass. "WHUMP CRUNCH!" The car came to a sudden, jarring stop. Zander had backed into the concrete entry arch over his driveway that the wrought iron fence and gate is attached to. Zander quickly got out and walked behind his car to have a look. The left tail light was crushed almost completely out with pieces of it's red and amber plastic on the grass and driveway, the body damaged around it, and the bumper messed up. Then a flash back zipped through Zander's mind, http://youtube.com/watch?v=xzocEeiD10M . "I HATE MEERKATS!", Zander hollered out as loud as he can. "THEY'RE ALL CRAZY RENEGADES". "Hey, rat! You want to step out here on the street and holler that?!", Zander heard someone call out. Zander looked toward the street and saw a stopped car with the windows rolled down, and a meerkat sitting in the driver's seat. "If you've got an issue to settle, come on out here and we'll settle it now", the meerkat said as he stepped out of his car. Zander stood at his front gate near his car, and the meerkat stood on the street near his car as the two of them looked at each other for a few seconds. Then Zander started walking back to his house. "Punky wimp", the meerkat called out to Zander, then got back into his car and left. After the meerkat had gone down the street, Zander got back into his Viper, centered it onto his driveway, backed out into the street then floored it for a second or two, burning rubber and smoke onto street as he left having a fit of frustration. Once Zander got to his favorite cafe, he didn't enjoy his breakfast much either. The taste of stinky denture odor while eating isn't exactly the best thing to entice an appetite. While Zander was trying to eat in spite of the stink of his own mouth, a flash back hits him again, http://youtube.com/watch?v=xzocEeiD10M . But this time he hallucinated the meerkat with the big bass saying, "Hope you're enjoying your breakfast". "Shit", Zander said as he tossed his fork down into his unfinished breakfast, splashing a few bloblets of grits onto the counter. As Zander paid his bill and left, the other animals there wondered what had gotten into him. By then, there wasn't much time before Zander was scheduled to see his first patient for the day. So "Stinkymouth" Zander headed out to his office. Zander was so tired from staying up the night before, there were times he would weave all over the streets on his way to the office, and at one point ran a red light without even knowing it. When Dr. Rat arrived to his office, his receptionist, Zella Gerbil, informed him that his first patient for the day was back in room two with his mom and Nurse Janie Squirrel. "Hello there, I'm Dr. Zander Iscelberg Rat", Dr. Rat introduced himself to the patient's mom upon entering room two, and she definitely was not impressed by Zander's stinky mouth. "I'm Trish Civet, and this is my son, Antonio", She replied. "And You're the one with the spider bite", Zander said to his 12 year old Asian palm civet patient, as Antonio was sneering from Zander's mouth odor. "Since the bite got bigger, I felt I should take Antonio to see a doctor", said Trish Civet as Dr. Rat was checking out the spider bite that had developed into an ulcerated sore on Antonio Civet's left arm. "Well, you made the right decision, Mam", Zander replied, then asked Nurse Squirrel, "Janie, did you get lab samples of the sore?" "Yes I did, Zander", Nurse Squirrel answered. As Zander began to remove the dead tissue from the young civet's arm before applying an ointment to slow down the sore's progression, he suggested, "You know, if young Antonio gets a circumcision, it will help that sore on his arm heal a lot quicker". "Yea right", said Trish with a grin, thinking the doctor was only joking. But after Zander Rat maintained a false look of sincerity, she knew he wasn't joking. "Come on, Antonio. We're out of here", said his mom as they began to leave. Then Trish Civet told Zander, "We're finding another doctor. I admit I myself am not a doctor, but I am not stupid. A circumcision will not heal THAT", she continued as she pointed to the sore on her son's arm. "What's a serpentcision", Antonio asked his mom. "Aren't you going to pay for services rendered?" Zander asked, as Trish and her son detoured past the receptionist window. "MY SON HAS A SPIDER BITE THAT COULD COST HIM HIS ARM! AND THE DOCTOR I TAKE HIM TO TURNS OUT TO BE A PERVERTED BASTARD!", she ranted. "I WILL NOT PAY FOR THAT KIND OF SERVICE!" "ZELLA! YOU GOT HER INFORMATION, RIGHT?!" Zander called out to his receptionist. "I know where to send the bill", Zella answered. Trish Civet took a couple a steps back and warned Zander, "If you send me a bill, so help me God, I will sue you!". "Mam!" Receptionist Zella Gerbil addressed Trish in her usual raspy, loud voice. "Dr. Rat rendered services to your son. I advise you to pay this now to avoid late fees and interest charges!". "YEA!" Dr. Rat added. "I'm not an indigent doctor. You owe a bill here". "I owe you nothing!", Trish Civet retorted. "There's the office visit fee!", Zella Gerbil loudly chimed in. "And the examination fee! Do you reeeeaaally think we stay in business rendering services for free?!" "I'm seeking an attorney after we see another doctor!" Trish Civet told Dr. Rat, then stormed out of the office with her son. Just before Trish and her son got to their car, Antonio again asked his mom, "Mom, what's IS a serpentcision anyway?" Dr. Rat's next patient was a bear who was addicted to the Oxycontin prescription refills Dr. Rat had been writing out for him. "Hi there Eddie Bear", Dr. Rat greeted him as he walked in. "Oh...Uhh...Hey, Zander...>snork< eek eek", Eddie replied, with the weird sounds being the effects of the drug". Dr. Rat promptly wrote out the prescription, and Eddie Bear just as promptly went to the receptionist window and filled out the necessary paper work to have it charged to the insurance company that pays Eddie's disability pension...Eeeeeezzzzzy Money. As long as the bear's disability pension pays for the drugs and the doctor bill, Zander will keep on writing out prescriptions. Zander's next patient was a panda who was to be scheduled to undergo a CAT scan to check for lung cancer. The panda got one whiff of Zander's dirty dentures, turned around, and without saying a word, walked out to go find a different doctor. By now, Zander's lack of sleep was beginning to take it's toll on him. Zander had dozed off in one of the examination rooms. "Zander. One of your patients is here to see you", Nurse Squirrel said as she was shaking Zander's shoulder to get him up. "Oh...Yea yea", Zander said as he got up, noticing the Kinkajou with her 10 year old son who had a boil on his ear. "Your Rosie Kinkajou?", Dr. Rat yawned. "And this must be little Lopez we're doing diabetes testing on today". "No", Rosie Kinkajou replied as she noticed the foul odor emitting from Zander's mouth. "He has a boil on his ear. Don't you remember me telling you that when we set the appointment?" "Oh that's right", Dr. Rat said as he began digging at Lopez Kinkajou's boil with his dirty claw nails. "YEOOOOOW", Lopez cried out. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!", Rosie screamed as she pushed Dr. Rat away from her son. "Doctor?" said Nurse Squirrel. "I'm not trying to tell you how to do things, but don't we have implements for that?". "We're going to see a different doctor, you quack", Rosie told Dr. Rat. "I know what I'm doing", Dr. Rat replied. "No you don't", Rosie Kinkajou retorted. "Digging those dirty claws into my son's ear? And your breath. It smells like something died inside your mouth. You're filthy. You don't even bathe, do you? Do you even know what a bar of soap is? You could be carrying fleas for all I know. And YOUR a doctor?" Zella Gerbil was laughing at the things Rosie had to say to Zander, but knew she had better not get caught by Zander laughing at him or it could cost Zella her job. "You need to be digging ditches somewhere or scrubbing toilets", Rosie continued to scold Dr. Rat. "You have no business being a doctor. You're just a quack". Dr. Rat immediately thought, "Daeeee - jah - voooooooo. THAT sounds familiar". Then little Lopez Kinkajou started in with, "Quack quack waddle waddle quack quack quack. Dr. Rat is a quack". "Shut him up!" Dr. Rat retorted. "I don't need to hear that". "NO!", Rosie Kinkajou snapped back. "My son speaks the truth about you". Then she told her son, "You can say what ever you want about him. Mommy doesn't mind, sweetie". Lopez put his paws on his chest and moved his elbows up and down, emulating duck wings, and slapped his feet in the floor as he marched around in circles, chanting, "Dr. Rat quack quack, Dr. Rat quack quack, Dr. Rat quack quack......" "STOP IT! STOP IT!," Dr. Rat retorted as little Lopez Kinkajou continued his exibition. As Rosie and her son, Lopez, left, Lopez bid Zander, "Adeous, Dr. Quack". Dr. Rat came storming into the lobby as Zella Gerbil quickly wiped the smirk off her face. "Zella. Put everything you can dream up on her bill", Dr. Rat told her. "Ohhhhh, you better NOT send us a bill", Rosie Kinkajou warned Dr. Rat. "The day we get a bill in the mail from YOU, I'll send my husband here. And it won't be for a medical visit either. He's way bigger and stronger than you are. He'll knock your ass into tomorrow land for sure". Dr. Rat just stood in his lobby and went, "Uhhhhhhhh", as Rosie and Lopez walked out the door. As the day wore on, Dr. Rat's lack of sleep began to take more of a toll on him. He gave a weasel who has a stomach ulcer, topical flea treatment to drink for his condition. But the patient caught it just in time and told Dr. Rat, "I'm not drinking this", then stormed out to find a different doctor. Dr. Rat almost put wart remover solution into the vagina of a female raccoon who came in to be treated for a yeast infection. When Nurse Squirrel bought it to Dr. Rat's attention just in time, and the patient realized what Dr. Rat had almost done, she too stormed out to seek a different doctor. At the rate that Dr. Rat was frightening off his patients, he was beginning to wonder if he was ever going to save up the balance to get his 1954 Lancia Aurelia back out of the shop before it would be sold after 90 days. After Dr. Rat closed the office that evening, He was to tired to stop for dinner on the way home. Once he got home, he was too tired to prepare anything. Dr. Rat just plopped down on the bed and dozed off to sleep with his stinky dentures still in his mouth that had not been out of his mouth for the past 36 hours.

CHAPTER 4. Financial Affairs

The following morning, Zander slept in a bit late from being so tired the night before. He didn't have any patients to see that morning, as they had called days earlier and canceled their appointments (word gets around). Dr. Zander Rat had instructed Zella Gerbil to schedule an appointment for any walk ins that day, and informed Nurse Janie Squirrel that Zander will still be on call if needed. Zander planned to use the free time to take the Viper into the shop to get it fixed and the the tail light replaced from where he backed it into the gate arch of his driveway the previous morning. Zander finally took his dentures out, then scrubbed them with soap and water as soaking them would have taken more time than what he had that morning. It was the first time they had been out of his mouth in over 26 hours, and did they ever stink. After a few swishes with Listerine, and some more scrubbing on the dentures with Zander occasionally sniffing them to be sure he got the stink off of them, they were ready to put back in. Zander noticed he was running low on Sea Bond. He would have to buy some within the next few days when he is out running errands. Then there was the tedious task of putting the contact lens in his right eye. After Zander got the lens in, he got in his car to take it to the shop. Zander was extra careful backing his car out that morning after what happened the morning before. On his way to to taking his Viper to the shop, Zander hit on an idea that would help him get the Lancia out of the shop sooner once it is fixed. There was one of those "easy loan" credit places Zander knew wasn't too far out of his way. Zander's credit wasn't good enough lately to get a bank loan because he had a few late payments on the credit card he had through the bank he deals with. So he stopped in at the credit store to inquire about a personal loan there. At the credit store, Zander found out his credit wasn't good enough to get a signature loan there either, But once they found out he owned his home with nothing owed on it, they agreed to give him a loan if he would put his home up for collateral as security for the loan. Zander agreed. They needed the deed to the house and property, so Zander told them he won't be long (can be taken two ways LOL), and drove back to his house, and in 20 minutes returned to the loan store with the deed. With what Zander had in savings, ten thousand rupees would be enough to make up the balance to get the Lancia out of the shop once it's repaired, but the weasel at the loan store recommended putting the loan at fifteen thousand rupees. There was a service fee that would come out of the loan amount, plus a few hundred rupees to re-record the deed to reflect the mortgage on the house and property for the loan amount. Zander promptly agreed to those terms, The contract and paperwork was completed for a loan with 22.6% interest, Zander pawed the deed to his home over to be re-recorded, and twelve thousand, four hundred, eighty four rupees was wired to Zander's bank account. "We thank you for dropping in", the weasel said as he and Zander Rat shook paws. "Oh, I really really really thank you for the loan", Zander relpied. "You have no idea how happy this makes me. "We appreciate your business, Mr. Iscelberg Rat," the loan store's owner, a big, obese warthog pig, puffing on a cigar, said with a gravely voice as he also shook paws with Zander. "If you ever need another loan, drop on in anytime". "Oh...Oh, Ollie. Give our friend Zander here some of our business cards", the warthog said to the weasel. "Sure, Eddie", Ollie Weasel replied. As Ollie pawed some business cards over to Zander, Eddie Warthog put his paw on Zander's shoulder like an old drinking buddy and said, "Zander, we'd really appreciate it if you get some of our cards out to your friends and co-workers. If you know someone who needs a loan, tell them about us. Have them tell us Zander sent them, and we'll get them fixed up with a great deal on a loan". "I sure will", Zander replied bright eyed and happy as he unclipped his wallet from under his fur hairs to put the business cards in it. The next stop was to drop the Viper off to get repaired. After Zander arrived to repair shop, Jangar Panda had a look at the damage to Zander's Viper. "It's what I pictured it would look like from what you told me over the phone yesterday", said Jangar Panda as he began filling out another estimate worksheet. "Yea. I really felt sick when I heard that crunch yesterday morning", Zander replied. This estimate didn't take long for Jangar get a total on, and the damage cost to Zander's Viper came to one thousand nine hundred rupees. "I'll need an extra copy to send to the insurance company", Zander requested. Sammy Fox added, "I was about to say, I hope this one isn't without insurance either". "It just as well is", said Zander, "There's a one thousand rupee deductible. "At least you can claim nine hundred on it", Jangar Panda added. "That does help". "Oh, by the way. I'll be able to get that Lancia out of the shop as soon as it's fixed now. I got a loan this morning", Zander announced as he unclipped his wallet and took some of the business cards from the loan store. "If you ever need a loan, here's the place to go", Zander said as he started giving out the cards. "Tell them Zander sent you and they'll fix you right up". "BIG EDDIE?!", Sammy Fox loudly retorted. "Zander. That place is a rip off". "Ha ha. They'll fix you up all right", Jangar Panda added. Sammy Fox asked Zander, "If you don't mind my asking, what are they charging you for interest?" "I think it's 22.6%", Zander answered. "SHIT!", Jangar Panda added, then told Zander, "You picked the worst place in town to take out a loan". "So in other words, your saying I got fucked?", Zander asked. "Oh definitely", Jangar answered. "I hate to say it, Zander. But you were loan sharked". About that time, Howard Lemur walked up and asked, "Did I overhear that someone went to Quick Cash in Paw?" "Yup. A customer here just got a loan from Big Eddie", Sammy answered. "Big Eddie would swindle his own mother if he had the chance", Howard Lemur added. "Oh well. It's water under the bridge now", said Jangar. "He got the loan, he got the loan". Zander was told the Lancia will be ready to pick up in about 45 days, putting it around April 1st, Zander's 56th birthday. A new right quarter panel to replace the one that Cheesah Meerkat kicked in around Christmas time was going to take a while locate for such a rare car. As for the Viper, Zander was told it should be ready next week. With both cars in the shop, Zander was going to have to ride a bus for the next week where ever he went. As Dr. Rat rode the bus on his way to his office, he thought about how the family he was from never had to ride public transportation like he was doing. And after Zander found out how bad he was gouged with the loan he took out that morning, he remembered that his family never had to take out loans. In fact, one of the sources of his family's income was from lending money at high interest rates to those who are in a pinch...Just like Zander had become. Dr. Zander Rat's day seeing patients went as normal. Many patients would storm out of his office to seek a different doctor, and few were even half way satisfied with the services he rendered. However, what had always accounted for most of Dr. Rat's prosperity since he had been a doctor for the past 20 plus years was filling prescriptions for just about every drug addict in Salem, India who can pay for it, or has an insurance pension that can be bilked for it. That had been Dr. Rat's big money maker. And there have been many of those anthro-animals who came to have Dr. Rat hook them up with their drug of choice. And of course, Dr. Rat had performed many circumcisions, nearly all of which was unwanted, during his career as a Quack Doctor. Nurses, fellow doctors and other medical professionals often speculated that Dr. Rat went through eight years of med school and became a doctor for one reason only...That was to have the ultimate opportunity to carry out his fetish to do circumcisions. At the end of the day, after Dr. Rat walked from the bus stop to his house, It struck him as looking strange seeing no cars in his driveway or in his garage. That evening was the same ritual like any other night since Zander Rat got that beating from Cheesah. It was have dinner or a snack, then take out the dentures and put them in a glass of water for overnight with one of those fizzie tablets, remove the contact lens from his right eye for the night, grab a shower, and get to bed. Sometimes, Zander would have to use one of those doughnut pillows because of the bad neck Cheesah gave him.

Chapter 5. Zander Rat Makes a Grave Mistake.

It was Saturday and Dr. Zander Rat was scheduled to be on shift at the hospital emergency room staff that morning. Zander could already see taking the bus was going to get old quick. He couldn't stop at his favorite cafe because he would have to wait for another bus to take him into work. But Dr. Rat did have enough time to have breakfast at the hospital cafeteria. "I thought I was going to have to pull your shift too", Dr. Jay Fox told Dr. Rat because he was 14 minutes late checking in. Dr. Fox didn't have a patient at the time, so the only thing that was holding him up from getting off his shift was waiting for Dr. Rat to show up as his relief. Two other doctors were on emergency room shift with Dr. Rat that morning. One was Dr. Jaya Langur. She had been on shift for a few hours and was treating a makak who was comatose from drinking all night long. He came in aboard an ambulance an hour ago. The other doctor, who was the senior doctor on shift, was none other than Dr. Clyde Wolf, who had a great disdain for Dr. Rat. There was no other patient in the emergency room at the moment, so Dr. Wolf lent a paw to help Dr. Langur with her comatose patient. She had him almost ready to be moved to Detox. He still needed to be treated for a flea infestation. "Wow! Just look at them all. I'd bet 1,000 rupees they'll have to fumigate the ambulance that bought HIM here", Dr. Wolf said as he assisted Dr. Langur rubbing the makak down with flea treatment. "When an alcohol addiction takes precedence over personal hygiene, this is one of many results", Dr. Langur noted. Dr. Rat just stood by and watched. "Zander must think this is a spectator's sport", Dr. Wolf said to Dr. Langur. "He just stands there and gets paid for doing nothing". "Aww, come on, Clyde. You don't have to be that mean to Zander, do you?", Dr. Jaya Langur sweetly told Dr. Wolf with a smile. "You haven't known that buffoon as long as I have", Dr. Wolf answered Dr. Langur with a laugh as he began spraying the surrounding floor area for the fleas that had jumped off of the makak. "I'd have Zander do this, but I'm afraid he'd hurt himself with the sprayer", Dr. Wolf taunted. Dr.Wolf realized a third doctor was not needed to treat the makak. Dr.Wolf just saw it as another opportunity to rag on Zander. And Zander couldn't get up the nerve to make a peep about it. The emergency room had been slow so far that morning, but it wouldn't be for long. "Unit Two to Base, over", came over the radio with the background sound of an ambulance motor racing at a very high speed. "I got it!", Dr. Rat exclaimed, wanting to play hero. "Out of the way", Dr. Wolf said as he shoved Dr. Rat aside. "Go ahead, Unit Two, over", Dr. Wolf replied. "We are bringing in a dingo, male, age 12, over", the reply came back with the high speed, racing motor sound. "What's his status?, over", Dr. Wolf asked not expecting it to be good. That sound of a motor racing that fast means only one thing...It's serious. "He was struck by a train", the ambulance crew answered as Dr. Jaya Langur gasped. "He's in a coma, internal injuries, broken bones, heart beat is shallow. You're going to need to have blood on stand by. He's loosing a lot of it. He's type B...He's in really rough shape, over". Dr. Wolf told Dr. Langur, "Phone Dr. Tavi Mongoose and tell him what we have coming in. We might need him". Without a word or hesitation, Dr. Langur made the call. "Base to Unit Two. What's your ETA, over", Dr. Wolf asked. "Ten minutes. We're approaching Salem now, over", came back with the sounds of the racing motor and siren. "How did he get hit by a train anyway?, over", Dr. Wolf asked. "He and two other young dingo boys were playing daredevil with trains this morning", the reply came back with that racing motor sound. "He was only glanced by the train that hit him, but the train was running at a high rate of speed, over". "Great...What a Hell of a way for three dingo cubs to start a Saturday morning...over", Dr. Wolf replied. "Yea...I know...over", came back with the racing motor sound. Dr. Langur came back and told Dr. Wolf that Dr. Tavi Mongoose was on his way in and will be there as quick as he can. "Is the makak ready to go to Detox?", Dr. Wolf asked Dr. Jaya Langur. "Yes he is, Clyde", Jaya answered. "Zander, take this patient to Detox", Dr. Wolf ordered Zander. Dr. Rat started in with, "Heeeyy, I didn't go to eight years of med school to roll gurneys. I'm a doct....." Dr. Wolf grabbed and tweaked Zander's ear in mid sentence as Zander sounded off, "OOOO YEOW OUCH!". "You're not going to sass me, or sass anyone else at a time like this. Understand?", Dr. wolf warned Dr. Rat, then let go of his ear. Dr. Rat got the picture real quick and moved the makak to Detox as he was told to do. Several minutes later, the siren of the approaching ambulance could be heard getting louder as the ambulance got closer to the hospital, and the emergency room entry doors were kept in open position ready for the arrival of the ambulance. As the ambulance was whirled into position to back up to the the emergency room, the ambulance doors were already being opened. The ambulance paramedics came quickly running out with the gurney carrying the gravely injured dingo cub. Dr. Wolf and Dr. Langur ran up to the gurney and helped to whisk it where everything was in preparation. No time was wasted getting an IV in the patient to get blood back into him and to do everything they could to stop further loss of blood. Nurses quickly put monitor sensors, and an oxygen mask on him, and a catheter in him. As the two doctors and all available nurses were frantically trying to save the young dingo's life, one of the doctors who was working intensive care came down to render assistance. Then Dr. Zander Rat showed back up. "Stay back, damn it", Dr. Wolf growled at Zander as Zander returned from moving the makak to Detox. So Zander stood back at a distance and watched, looking like a nit wit. Dr. Mongoose soon arrived and joined the effort to save the cub's life as the other doctors filled him in as to what was was going on. "What is an available doctor doing just watching?", Dr. Mongoose asked as he was helping to repair some of the internal organ damage while others were setting broken bones. "I sent him aside", Dr, Wolf answered as he was doing everything he could to at least slow down the cub's loss of blood. "I don't want Zander in the way". "I'm sure there's SOMETHING he can do", Dr. Mongoose retorted. "Even if it's just changing IV bags and cleaning up the blood, It doesn't take one of US to do THAT". So Dr. Rat was put to work helping in the effort, serving in the same capacity as a nurse trainee. Dr. Wolf warned Zander, "If you lay one paw on his genitalia, I'll kill you". But even then, Dr. Mongoose had to constantly get on Zander for his many screw ups. Zander's bumbling finally got to the point when Dr. Mongoose told Zander, "Just go to the doctor's lounge and fuck off, Zander! This cub's parents are on their way here now. And if he doesn't make it, I won't let it be because you killed him! Just go! Get out of here!". So Dr. Zander Rat went to the doctor's lounge as Dr. Mongoose had told him to do. "At one point, the dingo's cub's heart had stopped, and in spite of having broken bones, a defibrillator had to be used to get his heart going again. "Heavy price to pay for playing around with trains", said Dr. Wolf. Twenty minutes into them working on the dingo cub, a Genet family came into the emergency room. The dad, accompanied by his wife and young adult son, was carrying their 6 year old son who was hurt and crying in pain. A doctor could not be spared, so Nurse Sheryl Fox was sent to assist Ernesto and Yuia Genet. Their 6 year old son, Sedric, had fallen out of a tree and broke a leg. As Nurse Fox directed the family to a treatment room, older son, Guelo Genet, looked in dismay at the young dingo, who's life everyone was trying to save. It was the first time in Guelo's life he had ever seen anyone that badly messed up. No doctor was available to tend to Sedric right away, so Nurse Fox tried to reach Dr. Bear by phone to come in and set Sedric's broken leg. The family was asked to go to the waiting room while Sedric was sedated to ease his pain. When the Genet Family got to the waiting room, the Genet Family called some relatives and friends of the family to tell them about their cub, Sedric, getting hurt. Among the family friends they called are Zhang, Annika and Raphael Meerkat. Zhang's younger brother, Cheesah had graduated in the same high school class with Guelo Genet. Raphael Meerkat and Sedric Genet are also close friends, although Raphael, age 8, is two school grades ahead of Sedric, age 6. And like the meerkat friends of the family, Ernesto and Yuia Genet with their son Geulo was part of that exodus of refugees who left Angola in 2005. Like Raphael, Sedric was born in India. Guelo was able reach Cheesah by phone and he told him about Sedric falling out of the tree. Guelo also told Cheesah about the dingo cub he saw in the emergency room. "I never saw someone tore up that bad before", Guelo told Cheesah. "Mom and Dad and I are here in the waiting room". "So how are they coming along on our garoto mau Sedric?" (...our bad boy Sedric?), Cheesah asked. They can't get to Sedric now because everyone is working on the dingo", Guelo answered. "He's really messed up. He don't even look alive...Oh, by the way. It sounds like you are riding in a car". "I'm out cruising with Wasafa", Cheesah replied. "Put him on for me", Guelo requested. "I'll put it on speaker phone", said Cheesah. "Sound like Sedric, he hurt", Wasafa Mongoose inquired in broken English. "Sim. Sedric caiu de uma arvore e quebrou a perna" (Yea. Sedric fell from a tree and broke his leg), Guelo affirmed to Wasafa in Portuguese, being that Wasafa Mongoose and his family are also from Angola. "Heh heh. Ele ser um menino robusto" (Heh heh. He's a rugged boy), Wasafa Mongoose replied. "Sim, But the ground was tougher this time", Guelo Genet added as a family of dingos came into the waiting room with some of their family members crying. "Hey", Guelo said in a low voice. "The dingo cub I told you about". "Yea. What about", Cheesah asked. "I think his family just came into the waiting room. Some of them are crying", Guelo told Cheesah and Wasafa. As the conversation continued, Guelo Genet overheard the dingos mentioning about their cub being hit by a train. "Hey" Guelo again told Cheesah and Wasafa in a low voice", I just found out that dingo cub was hit by a train". "We heard about that on the car radio not long ago", Cheesah told Guelo. "So he same cub dingo?", Wasafa asked. "Sim. From what I'm seeing, it is", Guelo answered. Guelo's dad, Ernesto, told his son that the dingos may want to use the phone to call their family. Guelo was using the hospital's land line as cell phone use is not allowed in a hospital. "These dingos will need to use the phone, I got to hang up now", Guelo told his friends. "Diga oi Sedric para mim" (Tell Sedric hello for me), said Wasafa Mongoose. "I will", Guelo replied. "We're hoping the best for Sedric", Cheesah added. Then Wasafa bid, "Falo com voce depois"(Talk to you later).

Meanwhile in the emergency room, the dingo cub's situation had escalated into a classic, hospital drama scenario. The cub's heart had since stopped two more times. The bleeding had finally been bought under control. But it was now a struggle keeping his heart going, and there was still a lot damage to be repaired. While all this was going on, Zander got the wheels turning in his head that there were unprotected male patients the other doctors couldn't treat yet. The heart monitor attached to the dingo cub again went flat line, "deet.....deet.....deet.....deet..deet..deet.deet det det det.eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." "WE'RE LOOSING HIM!", Dr Mongoose called out. Dr. Wolf rapidly applied conductive lube to the defibrillator paddles the quickly slapped them onto the cub's chest. "HIT IT! HIT IT!", Dr Wolf shouted. >THA-WOOMP< the dingo cub's body jolted up off the gurney, but the monitor still continued, "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." "AGAIN!", Dr. Wolf shouted as he held the paddles on the cub's chest. >THA-WOOMP< again the cub jolting up off the gurney. Everyone knew they got a heart beat back when the monitor was again sounding, "deet..deet..deet..deet..deet.deet", and the cub, still in a coma, began hyperventilating. Because of the drama unfolding around trying to keep the dingo cub alive, Zander milled around the emergency room unnoticed as he also checked the treatment rooms. Then Zander found 6 year old Sedric Genet who was sedated because of his broken leg. "Oooooo. It's time to cut a dickieeee", Zander said to him self as he got his circie clamp, from a stash location where he kept it in one of the treatment rooms. Again the heart monitor went, "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.." While Zander heard the monitor going flat line again out in the main emergency room, he was busy sticking Sedric Genet's penis head up into the circ clamp bell. "HIT IT!", Dr. Wolf shouted. Zander Rat could hear >THA-WHOOMP< the dingo cub jolt up off the gurney, then the monitor sounding, "deet..deet..deet..deet..deet..deet..deet...". Zander already had the clamp locked down and was cutting Sedric's penis sheath away. "I wish there were more opportunities like this one. The ultimate distraction", Zander said out loud as the heart monitor for the dingo cub's body again sounded off, "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." "WE'RE LOOSING HIM AGAIN!", Dr. Mongoose called out as Zander Rat came strolling out of the treatment room, unnoticed, with his clap in one paw, and Sedric Genet's penis sheath in the other paw. "HIT IT", Dr. Wolf shouted, followed by >THA-WHOOMP< and the cub's body jolting upward, and the monitor still sounding, "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." "HIT IT!", Dr. Wolf again shouted. >THA-WHOOMP< The dingo cub jolts upward. The monitor still sounding, "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." Zander strolls past a trash can and drops Sedric Genet's penis sheath into the trash. Still it was "HIT IT AGAIN!", >THA-WHOOMP<, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... "AGAIN", >THA-WHOOM<, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." As Dr. Jaya Langur was saying to the dingo cub, "Don't leave us now, babe. Don't leave us now.", Dr. Zander Iscelberg Rat MD retreated back to the doctor's lounge, perfectly smug with what he had just done. As a last resort, Dr. Langur got up on the gurney, straddled over the cub and began chest compressions as Dr. Clyde Wolf performed mouth to mouth resuscitation on him. Dr. Mongoose gave the cub an injection to stimulate the cub's heart, in hopes if his heart can beat some more, the injection might get circulated. The monitor still continued, "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." There comes a point when a heart has stopped for so long a time, the brain has died. After 52 minutes of doctors and nurses frantically working on him, 7 of those minutes that his heart had stopped for the last time, there was nothing more that could be done for the dingo cub. Dr. Wolf reached up and turned off the monitor eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee>CLICK<. It was over for the dingo cub. It was decided that Dr. Jaya Langur should be the one to go to the waiting room and break the bad news to the Dingo Family. It was at that time Dr. Bear arrived to the hospital. He had just a short while ago got the voice mail Dr. Langur left him before the cub arrived. "Jaya left me a message there's a dingo cub here who was hit by a train", Dr. Bear mentioned. "We just lost him a few minutes ago", Dr. Mongoose replied. "I'm sorry to hear that", said Dr. Bear. "You feel up to setting a Genet cub's broken leg?", Dr. Mongoose asked Dr. Bear. "We're worn out from working with that dingo cub. And Dr. Wolf is tending to a Civet who came in here with a drug overdose twenty minutes ago." "Sure. Just show me where he is", Dr. Bear agreed. "Over in room three. We sedated him because we couldn't get to him right away", said Dr. Mongoose. Dr. Wolf came back and informed Dr. Mongoose, "I'm having that civet with the overdose moved to intensive care and to get his stomach pumped. He's really strung out on Oxycontin, and he's in no condition to go home today. And by the way, I had a little talk with him. He didn't get those drugs off the street". "A doctor in town must be prescribing it upon request", Dr. Mongoose speculated. "I turn THOSE kind of doctors in when I find out about them". "Well brace yourself for THIS one, Tavi. It's Zander", said Dr. Wolf. "The patient told me he gets all the Oxycontin from Zander he wants. All he has to do is ask, and Zander writes the prescription". "That figures," said Dr. Mongoose. "When Administration opens Monday, I'm filing another report on him. He's due to go up before a board hearing for an escapade he pulled a few days ago as it now stands. But for THIS one, Zander might be looking at crimnal charges". "We might be finally rid of him for good", Dr. Wolf anticipated. "I've been trying to make that happen for a long time. You can rest assured on that", Dr. Mongoose added. "Hey! Why is this Genet cub circumcised?", Dr. Bear asked as he came back out of room three. "ZANDER!", Dr. Wolf exclaimed. "Who else?", Dr. Mongoose replied. "He had to have done that while we were trying to save that dingo cub's life", said Dr. Wolf. "You know that's what he did", said Dr. Mongoose. "Using a dying cub as a decoy. That really stinks on ice... On Monday, THAT incident is ALSO going to be on the report". Then Dr. Mongoose told Dr. Bear, "Well, Dr. Bear. Just go back in and set the cub's leg. That's all you can do about it now". Dr. Rat couldn't be found anywhere either. It was speculated that Dr. Rat had probably slipped out for home for the day... Or as some would like to put it, "slithered" out for home. After Sedric Genet's leg was set, Dr. Mongoose had the unpleasant task of trying to explain to Sedric's parents, Ernesto and Yuia in the presents of his older brother Guelo, how it came to pass that one of the doctors pulled off an unwanted circumcision on their 6 year old cub...who was there only to have a broken leg mended. Ernesto and Yuia, as well as their older son Geulo, were about ready to kill someone over it...Especially when younger bro Sedric came out from the anistesia, and they all had to witness how devastated he was over what had been done to his little personal part. Immediately, Guelo went out to his dad's car to get his cell phone and he called his friend, Cheesah Meerkat. "Ola menina doce" Cheesah answered the phone, laying on a slow, sexy tone. "It's me, Cheesah... Guelo", Guelo replied. "Oh oh oh. Hi, Guelo. I thought Janeeza was calling me", said Cheesah. "You sound like something is wrong. Is Sedric doing OK?" "Nao", Guelo answered. "Uma cabeca de merda circuncidada Sedric". "O QUE! CIRCUNCISAO! SEDRIC! POR QUE!", Wasafa Mongoose retorted. "DAMN!", said Cheesah. "Guelo...Era um rato?" "Eles disseram que era" (They said it was), Guelo answered. "Um rato marrom? Big eye brows?", Cheesah asked Guelo about the rat. "Eu nao sei. Eu nao visto o rato." (I not know. I not see the rat.), Guelo answered. "Guelo. What they do to you bro cub. It fucked up", Wasafa Mongoose said. "Talvez ele seja o rato que tentou circuncidar Raphael em November", said Cheesah. "You mean the rato you battered before last Christmas?", Guelo asked. "Sim", Cheesah answered. "O filho da puta vai morrer" (The son of a bitch is going to die), said Wasafa. "O rato vai morrer. Ele vai morrer. Ele vai morrer por isso. "Cheesah, Wasafa, come over and see me at my mom and dad's house this night", said Guelo Genet. "After what that rat did to my cub bro, he is gettin' shut down". "We are behind you, Guelo", Cheesah Meerkat assured him...By the way, Guelo", Did that dingo cub ever make it". "Nao. He died", said Guelo. "His family took it really hard too". "I'm sorry to hear that", Cheesah replied. "He in better place now", said Wasafa. "Now he stand before the maker, getting he rewards". "We will see you", Said Cheesah. "Vejo te esta noite" (See you this night), said Wasafa Mongoose.

CHAPTER 6 Prelude to the Storm of Wrath

It was the Monday before Valentines Day 2014, and various anthro-animals had had some matters to tend to that day. This was a day Dr. Tavi Mongoose would be at his office. Dr. Mongoose had his receptionist, Fay Linsang, contact some of his patients to move their appointments for that morning to a later time. There was a matter of going to the administration office at the hospital that morning to file the report about Zander's actions on Saturday. And when Tavi reported the information that Dr. Wolf passed on to him from that Oxycontin addict he treated Saturday, the hospital administration immediately passed that information on to law enforcement. Dr, Mongoose actually saw the phone call being made. The administration staff members thanked Tavi Mongoose for coming forward with that information, and said that over the next several weeks, law enforcement would most likely have informants making appointments to see Dr. Zander Rat, posing as drug addicts and street vendors. Tavi was asked not to discuss it with anyone until an arrest has been made. As for a family of dingos, they had funeral arrangements to make for a loved one they lost two days ago. Things had taken a turn for the worse for the Genet family that morning. The circumcision that Dr. Zander Rat took upon himself to do to Sedric Genet two days earlier had become badly infected. Ernesto and Yuia Genet had to take Sedric back to the hospital where he was seen in the emergency room by Dr. Bear, the doctor who mended his broken leg. Sedric freaked out really bad when Dr. Bear advised the family of the risk that the infection could cost Sedric Genet his entire penis. Sedric had to be admitted into the hospital for series of treatments to fight the infection in an attempt of preventing him from becoming genderless. Guelo Genet, Cheesah Meerkat, Wasafa Mongoose, Miguel Kinkajou who is another one of Cheesah's high school ilumnis, and a few other friends, didn't quite have the same idea in mind about dealing with Zander Rat as Tavi Mongoose did. Habbar Fossa said they could count him in too if he wasn't out at sea with his dad. When Cheesah called Habbar Saturday evening, the Star of Antananarivo was still close enough to land for a cell phone tower signal to reach. However, Habbar did say that they were returning from delivering a sugar cane shipment from South America to Italy, and they should be docking into Karakil in about two days. He did tell them, "If you haven't got him by then, look me up". Even Cheesah's "very intimate" female friend, Janeeza Meerkat, said she would like to help in any way she could, And Janeeza now refers to Zander Rat as "The Creepy Cretin". The storm clouds were beginning to gather and it had nothing to do with the weather.

That Monday started for Zander with his daily routine of "putting his face together" in the bathroom mirror. Zander don't have a shift at the hospital that day, but wanted to be sure to be at his office early. He had a several of his drug addict steadies scheduled for that morning, and two of them were wealthy and paid good money to have Zander "hook them up". Zander, had it going on for over 20 years of greet the "so called' patient, write up the prescription for what they ask for and for the amount they request, then get paid...Greet, write, get paid - Greet, write, get paid - Greet, write, get paid - Greet, write, get paid - Greet, write, get paid. Eeeeeaaazzzzzzy money. There was also one of the out of town street vendors who had an appointment that morning. Zander definitely did not want to loose a street vendor as a client. Their business has always been the BIG money. For the street vendors, Zander would write out multiple prescriptions that bore the names on multiple phoney IDs presented by the client so the pharmacies would not wise on to it. It was getting old having to ride the bus with both cars in the shop though. Zander couldn't fit in a stop at his favorite cafe with the bus schedule, and Zander didn't keep much at the house to fix a descent meal with either because he was accustom to always eating out. So Zander went through the morning without having something to eat. By 1:17 pm, Dr. Zander Rat had written his prescription for his last client for the day. There was only one legit patient who came to see Dr. Rat that morning. At 10:05 am, a mother otter took her son in to get treatment and medication for a cold. When Dr. Rat tried to talk the mother otter into getting her son circumcised, she and her son left. There were no more appointments for the rest of that day, so shortly before 2:00 pm, Zander offered Nurse Janie Squirrel fifty rupees to drive him to the restoration shop where his cars are. "Oh wow, Doctor! For THAT much money I'll drive you to Karakil and back", Nurse Squirrel said with that lit up with happiness expression. "No", said Zander. "I just want to see them at the shop about one of my cars.". As Dr. Zander Rat and Nurse Squirrel stepped out, Zander left instructions with Zalla Gerbil to set appoints for anyone else who comes in, and that he will be gone for the rest of the day. Once Janie Squirrel got Zander Rat to the automotive shop, Janie asked, "Zander, should I wait?", as Zander pawed her the fifty rupees he promised her. "I'll catch a bus home", Zander answered. "I might be talking a while here with someone about one of my cars. I'll see you at the office tomorrow". "Oh..Te he..Yer sure?", Janie Squirrel replied with a cute little wave as Zander picked up on her body language and noticed the scent of some of her sexual discharge that smelled like peanuts, which is typical of rodents. "Oh...This is not what you're thinking, Janie", Zander informed Janie. "The purpose of this ride was to get me here to inquire about one of my cars...That's all. I'll see you at the office tomorrow morning". "Oh well uh eh-hem...See you at the office tomorrow...ur...morning", Jamie squirrel replied feeling embarrassed over what she had presumed. As Jamie was leaving to return to the office, Zander went over to speak with Jangar Panda. Jangar opened up the conversation with", Woah, Zander, who's the nice looking squirrel?" "Oh, she's the nurse who works for me", Zander answered. "Sammy Fox, who got a good look at Jamie, said, "I might have to set a doctor's appointment. I think I might be coming down with something", as everyone laughed. "I could do with giving her a probing", said Rudy Mongoose, a yellow mongoose who ran errands and did clean up and maintenance for the shop. "Well, Rudy, you do know on them, that pussy smells like peanuts", said Jangar. Then Howard Lemur added, "Being you mongooses smell like pop corn, if you and her got together, it'd be like Cracker Jacks", as a 2nd round of laughter broke out. "So, I like Cracker Jacks", Rudy laughed. After the laughter subsided, Zander mentioned, "OK. Seriously. This is about the Viper. Is there any way you all can have it could be ready sooner? Having to take a bus everywhere I go just doesn't cut it". "Well, there are other customers ahead of you", Zander", Jangar replied. Zander went into issues like how he doesn't have time to have breakfast at his favorite cafe each morning because that wouldn't coincide with the bus schedule. And how he can't simply hop in the car and go at the moment he feels like it. And how he misses driving his fast cars. After some haggling, Jangar Panda finally offered Zander, "Tell you what I'll do. I have a collision repair to begin on a car tomorrow. Let me call the customer and find out if he's OK with me starting on his car a couple of days later. If he's good with that, I can have your car ready by Wednesday late in the morning. But I do want a little payment for doing it". "How much payment?", Zander asked. "How does five hundred rupees sound?", Jangar asked. Zander, thinking of all that loan money he has, told Jangar, "Deal. I'll do it" So Jangar called the customer and gave him the alibi that it would take more time to get a needed part. The customer accepted the alibi, Zander pawed 500 rupees over to Janger and Zander's Viper was bumped up to being next in line. That left Zander Rat with only five more rides on a bus: One to go home that evening, the 2nd on his way to the office the following morning, the 3rd returning home, the 4th going from home to the bank on Wednesday morning to withdraw 1,000 rupees for the insurance deductible on the repair bill on the Viper, and the 5th bus ride from the bank to the automotive shop to get his car.

It was now Wednesday morning, and conditions had improved for Sedric Genet with the infection from the circumcision Dr.Rat had done to him. The infection was caught just in time before it would have gone too far to save Sedric Genet's already curcumcised penis, and Dr. Bear had mentioned that Sedric could be released from the hospital the next day with an antibiotic prescription and a follow up appointment. Sedric Genet, as well as his family, were so relieved to know the worst of the crisis was over and Sedric will still be able to remain a male. Sedric's dad Ernesto and older brother Guelo, during a visit to see Sedric, had already overheard Dr. Zander Rat make a smart aleck crack to a nurse about the situation he caused on Sedric, "If the Genet cub looses his little tweedle-dee-dee, we can always make him into a little female and rename him Sedrica...He'll never know the difference. HUR HUR HUR!" News of that remark Dr. Zander Rat made got around to family and friends really quick.

Zander was overwhelmed with anticipation when he got up Wednesday morning. That was the morning he was told his Dodge Viper would be ready to pick up from the shop. Of course there was that "pain in the ass" daily routine of "assembling his face" in the bathroom mirror, which he will always cuss Cheesah Meerkat for. Zander left the house singing, "I'm gonna get my car back! I'm gonna get my car back! goodie goodie goodie!". The neighbors looked at him like he was nuts. A cranky, old neighbor llama, who never did like Zander, was out watering his front lawn and sang back to Zander, "You really need a straight jacket! You really need a straight jacket! goodie goodie goodie!.......Dumb ass". Zander caught an early bus to the bank that got him there well before the bank opened. When Zander got to the bank, an unexpected delay awaited him. There was a paper "out of order" sign on the ATM machine. Zander noticed a fast food place across the street from the bank, so he got something for breakfast there and sipped on some coffee while he waited for the bank to open. Finally, the bank opened and Zander Rat leaped up from his table and ran back across the street, almost getting hit by a badger on a motorcycle, and made his way to the bank. Of course, as luck would have it, there was only one teller window open, and an elderly female lynx was the only one ahead of him in line. She had 548 rupees she wanted to deposit into her account, and it was all in change in a paper bag placed in one of those fold up baskets that are pushed around on wheels. "I want to be sure I count this out carefully", the old Lynx explained to the teller. "I don't want to count myself short, you know". "Well, I'm sure this gentle-rat wouldn't mind waiting", the bank teller, a female Afghan hound said to her, assuming that Zander Rat was in no hurry. "Just take your time, Esmeralda". "And I sure don't want to count it higher than what it actually is", Esmeralda Lynx contunued. "Oh, we wouldn't want that", replied the teller. About that time, Zander was singing under his breath the old, "Hum de dum dum dum". Esmeralda Lynx explained how she would never want a rupee that wasn't rightfully hers, and at the same time, she doesn't like coming up short on her money either, before she even began counting the 548 rupees of change she wanted to deposit. About 45 minutes later, and with seven customers who had recently came in behind Zander, Esmeralda Lynx had only 21 more rupees worth of change to count when Zander let with a loud, "EH-HEM!" "Zanderrrrrr!", the teller retorted as she looked past the lynx at Zander. "That was extremely rude of you! Now you owe Esmeralda an apology". "OK. Yea yea yea. Sorry. can we get this over with", Zander retorted. "I hardly call that an apology, young rat", the lynx informed Zander. "She's right. Why can't you behave like a civilized animal?", the bank teller added as the rest of the animals in line began to murmur bad comments about Zander. Zander paused for a few seconds, then said in a bashful tone, "I'm sorry", which was music to the ears of Esmeralda Lynx. Esmeralda then gave Zander a five minute lecture about having good manners, which further held up the line while she spoke her peace. After Esmeralda Lynx finished with giving Zander a brief crash course in good manners, she then focused her attention back on counting her money. "Oh dear!", Esmeralda exclaimed. "What is it, Esmeralda?", the bank teller asked her. "Because of that rude Rat, I lost count.", Esmeralda answered. "Now I'll have to start aaaall over again". "As the lynx began re-counting her money, the teller looked at Zander and said in a hush tone, "Shame on you!". A few minutes later, a bank employee stepped up behind another window. Zander dashed over to it only to hear the employee say, "This window is not open". Zander had now lost his place in line and had to go back to the end of the line. A few minutes later, another teller stepped up behind that other window. "Oh no. I'm not falling for THAT again", Zander said as the other animals went over to the other window. That's when Zander found out they did open the other window this time. "Ooooooph", Zander let out in frustration. "Zander! If you cause Esmeralda to loose count again, I'll come out from behind this counter and slap you down in front of everyone in this bank". "Joyce. I guess what I said to him went in one ear and out the other", Esmeralda said as everyone looked at Zander making a fool of himself, including a young, very attractive, female meerkat who had recently stepped in line behind Zander. The female meerkat immediately stepped away and took a seat in the lobby. As she was opening a flip phone off of a charm necklace she was wearing, a jovial looking, stocky built Great Pyrenees asked the meerkat, "May we assist you with a loan or any of your banking needs today, mam?". "No. I'm fine, thank you", she answered then began dialing a number. "Just let me know if you need anything", he relpied as he stepped back to his office cubical. "Ola, Cheesah. Isto seja Janeeza", the meerkat said on the phone, avoiding using English so there is no risk of the rat overhearing the conversation. "Janeeza, minha menina. Voce parece animado" (Janeeza my girl. You seem excited), Cheesah aswered the phone. "Cheesah, ouve", replied Janeeza. "Estou no banco. Eu encontrei o assustador cretino" (Cheesah, listen. I'm at the bank. I found the creepy cretin - scarey dick - creepy asshole). "You mean Zander Rato?! Tem certeza?!" (You are sure?), Cheesah exclaimed back over the phone. "Sim. Ele esta aqui", Janeeza assured Cheesah. "Um empregado dirigiu seu nome" (yes. He is here. An employee directed his name). "Follow him and keep me informed. Me and some of the boys will be there", said Cheesah. "Lembre?", Janeeza replied. "Eu rodou de onibus. Eu nao posso dirigir atras dele" (Remember? I rode by bus. I can't drive after him.). "OK...If he leaves before we get there, write down his auto tag number. Watch him go away as far as you can see him go", Cheesah instructed. "Ha um gato velho na frente dele", Janeeza informed Cheesah. "Ela esta tomando muito tempo aqui" (There is an old cat ahead of him. She is taking a lot of time here). "Well, let me know what happens", Cheesah replied. "Vou mante voce informado. Eu te amo" (I'll keep you informed. I love you.), said Janeeza. "Amo te", Cheesah replied. After Janeeza and Cheesah finished their conversation, Janeeza sat in the lobby, waiting for Zander Rat to make his next move. The business she had to conduct at the bank could wait another day. "Esmeralda Lynx continued to slowly and gingerly count her money as Janeeza Meerkat noticed Zander Rat acting up like a fool standing behind Esmeralda. It was becoming very clear to Janeeza that she had chosen the right nick name to refer to Zander by..."Cretino assustrador", which is "creepy cretin" among other things. Another 30 minutes went by before Esmeralda had finished counting her money, and then the deposit transaction was completed. "Oh goody. Aaaaaaaaaat last", Zander said as the teller gave Zander a dirty look. But Zander had another unexpected wait. Esmeralda Lynx had known Joyce Afghan Hound for years. So Esmeralda couldn't resist telling Joyce about how the kits and grandkits were getting along. Joyce even told Esmeralda the latest about her pups. "OOOOOOOHHHH COMMMMMMME OOOOOONNNNN!", Zander retorted, followed by the teller pointing a finger straight at him, giving him a cold stare and telling him, "Shut it". Before Esmeralda left, she took some more time to give Joyce the recipe to the home made pineapple pie her grandmother use to make. Then it was Zander's turn at the teller window. "Now did all your tomfoolery get you helped any sooner?...How may I help you?", Joyce Hound asked Zander. Zander requested 1,000 rupees from his account, and the transaction was made. Zander was so agitated by Esmeralda Lynx, when Zander left the teller window, he walked across the lobby floor stomping his feet down with the soles of his feet making loud slapping sounds against the floor as he walked. The other animals looked at Zander like he should have been mentally tested or something. That was when Janeeza got up, picked up one of those give away pens and a discarded receipt to write a tag number on, then followed Zander Rat, but keeping a distance so Zander wouldn't detect he was being followed. As Janeeza began to follow Zander across the parking lot, she opened her flip phone off her charm necklace and made another call to Cheesah. "Ola", Cheesah aswered as Janeeza could hear a car motor in the background. "Ele esta saindo o banco" (He is leaving the bank), Janeeza told Cheesah. "Be sure to get his tag number", said Cheesah. "OK", Janeeza replied. Then there was a short pause of silence as Janeeza continued to follow Zander Rat at a distance. Then Janeeza said, "Ele esta caminhando em direcao a rua. Nao para um carro" (He is walking in direction to the street. Not to a car.) "Perhaps he parked his car on the other side of the street", Cheesah pondered. Then Zander broke out into a run toward the street. "Ele esta sendo executado!" (He's running!), Janeeza exclaimed to Cheesah. "Did he see you?!", Cheesah asked. "Nao tenho certeza!" (I'm not sure), Janeeza answered. "HEEEEYYYY!", Zander hollered and screamed out as he failed to get the driver's attention because Zander was still too far away from the street. "CAN'T YOU FUCKIN' SEE ME OR WHAT?! STOP, MOTHER FUCKER?!" "Ele esta gritando no um onibus!" (He's screaming at a bus!), Janeeza then added. "Is everything OK?!", Cheesah asked. "MOTHER FUCKIN' SHIT ANYWAY! I'M NOT INVISIBLE!", Zander continued screaming at the passing bus, then taking a seat at the nearby bus stop. "Ele perdeu um onibus. Foi isso que aconteceu" (He missed a bus. That's what happened), Janeeza replied. "Ele esperando por um onibus" (He is waiting for a bus.) Then Janeeza heard Wasafa Mongoose's voice, "Doctor ride on bus! Ha ha ha! Nao e um medico muito rico!" (Not a very rich doctor). "Voce esta com Wasafa?" (You're with Wasafa?) , Janeeza asked. "Sim. Habbar is with us too", Cheesah aswered. "Habbar estava no navio no mar com Yannis" (Habbar was on the ship at sea with Yannis) , Janeeza replied. "They pulled into port last night", said Cheesah. "Dad and I got to the house real late last night", Habbar added. "Esta no viva voz?" (Is it on speaker phone?), Janeeza asked. "Sim", Cheesah answered, then continued, "Janeeza, we're almost there. If that rato is staying put, just come back away from him". "Yea, he might have fleas", Habbar added as everyone laughed including Janeeza. Cheesah and Janeeza hung up their phones as Wasafa Mongooses's car, 1991 Hindustan Contessa, http://youtube.com/watch?v=lRlJuX1fywQ came rolling into the parking lot, except Wasafa's car was customized to look like a low rider. Wasafa used an entrance on the far end away from where Zander was sitting at the bus stop. As Wasafa, Cheesah and Habbar pulled up to meet Janeeza, she told the boys, "He's on that bus stop bench". "You should get in so he doesn't see you", Cheesah said to Janeeza. As Janeeza got in to the car, she said to Habbar Fossa, "Hi Habbar, Happy to have you back". "Thank you", Habbar replied, "Glad to be back. Evryone told me what was done to Sedric...That's really messed up". "More so messed up because of that infection almost took it ALL from him, "Cheesah added. "And that horrible remark Sedric's dad said Dr. Rat made about it. That's really sick", said Janeeza, "Especially coming from the one who caused it". "I'd know for sure it's him if I could see him from the front", said Cheesah. "So what we do?", Wasafa asked, being the driver of the car. "It's only a matter of time before he boards a bus", said Cheesah. "When he does, follow the bus to where he get's off". As the four animal youths sat in the car, they watched Zander sitting on the bench, flying his paws around in sporadic motions, cussing and mimicking those who blamed for him missing the bus. "Ele e louco. He nut job", Wasafa Mongoose said as he sat behind the wheel of his car and gazed at Zander like he was watching a freak show. "A loose cannon like him is going to hurt someone some day", said Habbar. "He already has. Remember?", Cheesah replied as they watched Zander fly his paws around in circles and rock his head side to side mimicking the other animals in the bank. "Such a creep", said Janeeza. Zander cocked his head side to side, as he would mimic things like, "Oooooo! I wanna make sure I count my monieeeeeeee right. Oooooo! Let me tell you about my shittie kitties. And my grand shittie kittieeeees. OH! OH! OH! Ieeeeeee loooooosssst couuuuuunnnnt. I hafta start oooovvvvveerrrrr. SHIT! DAMN IT TO SHIT! Want the recipe to my grandmommy's pinapple pie? Pinap-ap-ap-ap-ap-apple pieeeeeeee? MADE ME MISS THE FUCKEN' BUUUUUSSSSSS!" "They haul stuff like HIM away in strait jackets", Habbar said as everyone in the car chuckled. At one point, Zander sat on the bus stop bench, whirling his paws around in a fashion where it looked he was giving sign language. "It's scarey to think that someone like him is a doctor", Janeeza added. "What he do? Sit on tack?" Wasafa asked right after Zander sprung to his feet. "I doubt he even knows he's doing it", said Habbar. "There's why", Cheesah said as he pointed to an approaching bus that was slowing down for a stop. After the bus stopped, Zander got aboard. Then Wasafa cranked up his car, and as the bus pulled away, they pulled out onto the street and began to follow it. Following the bus meant stopping everywhere the bus made a stop, waiting to find out where Zander Rat gets off at. But everyone had plenty of time. For Habbar Fossa it was a few weeks before the Star of Antananarivo was scheduled for another run. Wasafa Mongoose worked out of temporary labor agencies and can take a day off from work when he wants. Cheesah Meerkat, who was now staying with his older brother Zhang, sister in law Annika and nephew Raphael in Yercaud, had a few hours yet before he had to be at work at the rail yard. He worked an afternoon shift. And Janeeza wasn't working. As long as things continued well between her and Cheesah, she'll never have to work. Aboard the bus, Zander Rat had the other passengers giving him strange looks as he continued waving his paws about and rambling on about Esmeralda Lynx. "Want the recipe to my grandmommieeee's pineappley piiieeeeee?", Zander continued to mimic her out loud. "How 'bout a pineapple pie in your FACE, bitch?...SHIT anyway. She made me miss the bus. She ought to have a SHIT pie in her face. And it started with a piece of paper saying, out - of - orr - derrrrrrr...ye-ye-ye-ye-ye-ye-yaaaaaaaa". "Who is that crazy rat talking to?", a passenger asked. "The air, I guess", someone replied. "And what that yo-yo's saying makes no sense". Some of the other passengers were beginning to think the rat was on his way home from being released from a mental hospital. "That fruit bowl is a front page newspaper headline waiting to happen", said another animal. A mother ferret who was on the bus with her two cubs took them to the rear of the bus away from Zander Rat. She feared Zander was a psycho ready to snap and could hurt her cubs. Not far from the edge of town where the industrial areas are, the bus made another stop. "There he is", said cheesah, who was riding in the front passenger's seat of Wasafa's car and saw Zander step off the bus. "Well, now we know where he get's off", said Habbar. "From the way we saw him behaving at that bus stop, it wouldn't surprise me if he was KICKED off the bus", Janeeza added. "We don't want to look conspicuios", Habbar noted. As the bus pulled away, Cheesah told Wasafa, "Turn down that street up ahead and pull over, but where we can still see him. He's on foot. He won't loose us". As Wasafa drove past the rat, Cheesah and Habbar recognized Zander from when Cheesah beat him up nearly two months ago. "That IS him", said Cheesah. "It sure is. Without a doubt. That's a face I'll NEVER forget", said Habbar. Zander couldn't see into Wasafa's car as it passed by because of the car's dark window tinting. But a 1995 Hindustan Contessa with a blue teal, metal flake, custom paint job, and wide, low profile, low rider wheels, and fog lights mounted in a blackout grill, and a slightly raised suspension did have a way of standing out in a crowd. After Wasafa pulled the car over to the curb of the side street, Zander began walking down another side street on his way to the shop to pick up his Dodge Viper. "Someone should follow him on foot, then call us to bring the car when he gets to where he's going", said Cheesah. There was a risk of Zander Rat remembering Janeeza Meerkat from back at the bank. And Zander would definitely recognize Cheesah and Habbar from the beating Cheesah gave him just before last Christmas, what the boys still refer to as "Zander's Christmas Gift". So it was decided that Wasafa Mongoose should follow him. Wasafa didn't own a cell phone to call to bring the car over later, so Cheesah loaned him his. As Wasafa got out of the car to follow Zander Rat, Cheesah moved over onto the driver's seat. "Wasafa, he doesn't know you, so try to get some information out of him, OK", Cheesah told Wasafa. "But don't let him wise on to you", Habbar added. "OK", Wasafa replied as he left. The only thing to do now was to wait on the call from Wasafa.

It didn't take long for Wasafa to catch up to a short distance behind Zander Rat on the side street going to the auto repair shop. Wasafa figured while he was to try to get some information from the rat, he was going to have a little fun with him at the same time. "Foda voce Rato", Wasafa Mongoose said to Zander Rat as he approached up behind him. "Oh, and a good day to you too, Mongoose", Zander replied as Wasafa busted out with a laugh. "What happening, Caca Louco", Wasafa asked. "Oh, I'm afraid you got ME mixed up with someone else", Zander again replied. "I'm Zander Iscelberg Rat. DR. Zander Iscelberg Rat to be exact". As Wasafa Mongoose busted out with more laughter, that's when he found out the rat he was taunting was Dr. Zander Rat for sure. Plus he noticed that nasty lip scar he had heard about that Cheesah gave him before last Christmas. "So you make sick animal better, Caca Louco. That good thing", Wasafa laughed. "Zander Rat, Not Cockaluca", Zander corrected Wasafa a second time. "Caca Louco is cool nick name me give you...You no like?", Wasafa laughed at Zander. "Well you know", Zander said, thinking it over a few seconds. "It DOES sound cool. I like that nick name. In fact, I'm gonana ask my friends and neighbors to call me that", Zander continued as Wasafa laughed even harder. Zander was unaware foda voce meant fuck you and Caca Louco meant Crazy Shit. "Hey, Caca Louco!", Wasafa Mongoose continued laughing. "Chupa o meu pau de mangusto! (Suck my mongoose dick) You like that?" "I don't know. Run that past me again", Zander said as Wasafa began jumpung around laughing. "Chupa o meu pau de mangusto", Wasafa continued laughing. "Well, yea. That sounds cool. Choppa whatever", Zander replied in ignorant bliss. "HA HA HA HA HA! WHOOOOH!", Wasafa laughed, jumping around more. "Ha ha ha ha ha! What are you laughing at. I'm missing a GOOD one", Zander asked as he himself began to laugh. "Eu rio de VOCE, bunda estupido rato! Voce e uma merda para o cerebro! Seu cerebro feito de caca" (I am laughing at YOU! You are a shit for brain! Your brain is made from shit!), Wasafa Mongoose laughed at Zander Rat in Portuguese. "Uhhhh...I didn't get the punch line. But it sure sounds hilarious", said Zander. "I know it's gotta be a dilly". "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! E-E-EU NAO ACREDITO ESTA!" (I-I-I don't believe this!), Wasafa busted out laughing really hard, running out into the side street, hopping around and clapping his paws. "WHOOOOOOH! V-VO-VOCE E UMA RATO ESTUPIDO, CA-CA-CACA LOUCO!" It took 30 seconds for Wasafa to slow down laughing to where could speak. "Hey, Caca Louco. You a trip. Voce e um estupida viagem" (You are a stupid trip) , Wasafa continued. "Wait wait wait. Tell that to me again", Zander requested as he tried to laugh along. "Me see it go over you head, Caca Locuo", Wasafa assured Zander. "You no compreendo". "Oh darn", Zander replied. "And I just know I really would have liked it too". As Wasafa Mongoose was still laughing, he was tempted to drop it on Zander the things he was really telling him, busting Zander's bubble and rubbing it in his face. But he did realize now was not the time for that. As Habbar Fossa said when Wasafa left the car, "Don't let him wise on to you". Zander Rat continued walking to the shop where he was to pick up his Dodge Viper as Wasafa Mongoose tagged along. "You know...Uhhhh", Zander began. "I never got your name". "Bonzo", Wasafa lied to keep his name concealed from Zander. "Bonzo Mongoose". "Well, Bonzo. You are for sure my friend", Zander told Wasafa. "Foda voce, bunda estupido" (Fuck you, stupid ass), Wasafa replied. Oh, well, Thank you for the compliment", Zander replied. "Anytime, Caca Louco", Wasafa laughed at Zander. As the two of them walked along, Wasafa asked, "You go home now? You finish work early?" "Oh not at all", Zander answered. "I'm on my way to pick up my car out of the shop. I backed it into my front gate a the other day. That really sucked". "Voce chupar tambem" (You suck too), Wasafa added. "Oh, thanks again", Zander replied as Wasafa busted out laughing again. "Hey, Caca Louco. This car you have. What kind of car you have?", Wasafa asked. "It's a Dodge Viper", Zander proudly boasted. "UAU! O QUE DIZES?!" (Wow! What you say?!), Wasafa exclaimed. "Dodge Viper?! You got good car! Uau!" "Yea. And it's a convertible...In glossy black", Zander bragged on. "Oh hey! Tell you what, Bonzo! How 'bout a ride in it when I pick it up. I'll get it out on a highway outside of town and hit 300 kilometers per hour. You'll get to see what a REAL car can do". That had Wasafa Mongoose trapped in a corner. To say "no" might tip Zander off. But Wasafa knew accepting Zander's offer would be a deviation from plan. Not to mention he did not want to be in the same car with such creep. And the thought of traveling at 300 kph with an incompetent like Zander Rat at the wheel was down right scarey. "Well watcha say, Bonzo?!", Zander gleefully inquired. Wasafa finally thought up an alibi. "Me thank you anyway, Caca Louco. But me scared of fast cars. Me scared of fast speed. Me no want ride. Me like goin' slow". "OK. Suit yourself", Said Zander. "The offer's still open though". The thought also occurred to Wasafa that Zander could be trying to lure him with a ride in a fast car like a pervert luring a cub with a candy bar. A few things ran through Wasafa's mine on THAT thought. Wasafa still wanted information about Zander Rat and figured out a way to get more of it. Wasafa figured Zander may not be quite dumb enough to make his home address known to a stranger. But getting a business address should be easy enough. However, Wasafa knew he wouldn't get anywhere by simply asking a stranger "where do you work". But knowing what Zander had done to little six year old Sedric Genet, Wasafa knew just the perfect lure to get Zander to volunteer that information. "You say you doctor, Caca Louco?", Wasafa asked. "Yea I am", Zander reaffirmed. "Me sister have little cub. He have trouble is no good", Wasafa Mongoose fabricated a story to Zander. "He three year old, and he boy mongoose. He pee dickie have sheath squeeze too tight". "Wassafa figured that part "he BOY mongoose" would do the trick, and "pee dickie have sheath squeeze too tight" would REALLY clinch it. And Wasafa figured right. Zander wasted no time unclipping his wallet from under his chest fur hairs to give Wasafa one of his business cards. "Here's one of my cards", Zander said as he anxiously pawed one of his cards over to Wasafa. "I'll be glad to see your sister's little boy cub. Tell her bring him in and I'll fix him right up". "Eu aposta que voce vai" (I bet you will), Wasafa thought to himself as he could see a really creepy look in Zander's eyes as Zander was talking to him. The first thing that went through Zander Rat's mind when he heard Wasafa's story was, "Ooooo! I'll get to cut the sheath off a little mongoose's pee-wee". As Zander Rat and Wasafa Mongoose finally got within sight of Chariots of Fire Customs and Classics, Zander told Wasafa, "Well, this is the shop where my car is". Wasafa couldn't follow Zander any closer to the shop. Wasafa knew Jangar Pander. Jangar was the one who did the custom paint work for Wasafa's Hindustan Contessa automobile. After Wasafa introducing himself to Zander Rat as "Bonzo", he didn't want to risk Jangar calling him by his real name in the presents of Zander. "Me have to leave now, Caca Louco", Wasafa said to Zander as he started to walk back to the main street. "Sure you still don't want that ride?", Zander asked. "Me scared of fast cars. But foda voce bunda estupido. Um carro deve bater em voce" (But fuck you, stupid ass. A car should hit you), Wasafa answered. "Oh, you're very welcome", Zander Rat replied as Wasafa laughed. "And tell your sister to bring her cub by to see me. You have my card", Zander called out, as Wasafa was walking away laughing. "I tell her, Caca Louco", Wasafa called back. "Voce pode ir para o Inferno"(You can go to Hell). "I'm looking forward to it", Zander looked back and replied as he continued on his way to the shop. Wasafa unclipped Cheesah's cell phone from the fur hairs on his shoulder and made the call to his three friends waiting in his car. "Hello, Wasafa. Is that you?", Habbar Fossa answered the phone. "Sim. This Wasafa", Wasafa replied. "Me know where Zander Rato be. He at Chariots of Fire. He say he pick up he car". "The place where they customize and fix cars", Habbar confirmed. "Sim", Said Wasafa. "Habbar. Check it out. He mostest estupido rato in a world. He louco crazy. He psycho. You should see he really dense he be". "What did you find out", Cheesah's voice came in over the phone. "And are you ready to have us come over there?" "Sim. Me ready for you come here. And me call Rato, Caca Louco, and he like it...", Wasafa replied as the three in the car laughed, and Wasafa laughing along with them". "When me call rato, Caca Louco, he say, me Zander Rato, Dr. Zander, no Caca Louco", Wasafa continued. "And me see big scar you say you kick on lip at Christmas". "It's him alright", said Cheesah as he started Wasafa's car to bring it over. 'Without a doubt", Habbar added. "What a dweeb", Janeeza further added. "And me get busuness card for rato doctor office", said Wasafa. "Aw-right! Way to go, WasaFA: " , Cheesah exclaimed. "You did great". "That will be very useful to us", Janeeza added. "What's Zander Rato doing now?", Cheesah asked. "Eu nao sei (I not know). Me no follow rato at shop", Wasafa explained. "Me tell rato me Bonzo Mongoose. Panda at shop know me, and might say me name when rato around. Then rato know what up". "It's good you DIDN'T follow him to the shop then", Cheesah noted. "I wish we knew what kind if car to look out for though". "Me already know", Wasafa replied as he saw Cheesah, Janeeza and Habbar arriving in his car coming up the side street. "Is Dodge Viper..." "WOAH!", Habbar exclaimed. "He is NOT poor... Stupid, but not poor". "And creeps like him take advantage of us who ARE poor", Janeeza added. "AND advantage of our CUBS. Like he did to Sedric", Cheesah further added. Upon pulling up and stopping near Wasafa, Cheesah got back over to the passenger's seat as Wasafa got back into his car behind the wheel, then pawing the business card he got from Zander Rat over to Janeeza. "What we do now?", Wasafa asked as he pawed Cheesah's phone back to him. "Pull around beside that warehouse building where the rato can't see us", Cheesah told Wasafa. "When he pulls out, we follow him". So Wasafa drove his car around to the side of the warehouse as Cheesah had instructed. All there was to do now was wait. Fifteen minutes later, as Wasafa Mongoose was telling the others about his zany encounter with Zander Rat, a glossy black, Dodge Viper convertible pulled out of Chariots of Fire Customs and Classics then headed down the side street to the main through fare. "There he is", said Cheesah as Zander drove by in his Viper with the top down. "Don't get too close to him. We don't want to spook him", Cheesah told Wasafa as he started his car to go after him. "I hope we get to find out where this sack of sad shit lives", Habbar said as Wasafa pulled onto the side street after Zander. Once Zander got to the main street, he turned right and punched a bit, chirping the tires as he took off down the street, but kept it within the speed limit. Wasafa had to give his four cylinder Hindustan just about all it had to catch up to Zander's ten cylinder Dodge Viper. "Remember, Wasafa. Give him some distance", Cheesah reminded him. There was one traffic light both Zander and Wasafa caught red before the main street led out of town and became an open highway. At the light, Cheesah croutched down behind the dash board so there was not the risk of Zander spotting him. Habbar was on the back seat with Janeeza, and it was hard to see into Wasafa's that far back with the dark tinted windows. "Sim. I see you no want rato to see you", said Wasafa. "You got it", Cheesah replied. When the light turned green, Zander chirped the tires on take off, with Wasafa trying to keep up. Now that the street began to become highway, Zander Rat thought he'd open it up a bit. Suddenly, Zander Rat floored it, shifting it through the gears. VAROOOMP - VAROOOOOOOOOOOOM - VAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM - VAROOOOOOO.....", The Viper rapidly sped away with tires screaming, smoking and laying black stripes onto the pavement. "FILHO DA PUTA! (Son of a bitch) LOOK AT THAT CAR MOVE OUT!", Cheesah Meerkat exclaimed as they rode through a cloud of tire smoke left behind by Zander's car. "ME NEVER SEE CAR GO FAST LIKE THAT IN ME LIFE!", Wasafa Mongoose exclaimed as he floored it, giving that Hindustan of his everything he can get out of it, trying to catch up. But it was to no avail. The more Wasafa Mongoose got his car going faster and faster, the quicker Zander's Viper left them far behind as it approached 300 kph. "That's a Viper, Wasafa. You'll never catch him with this", Habbar told Wasafa as his car approached 145 kph (90 mph) and couldn't go any faster. "Is so fast. Eu nao acredito isso" (I don't believe it), Wasafa said as he began slowing his car back down to normal highway speed. "We can STILL find that creepy cretin", Janeeza said as she held up the business card Zander had given to Wasafa. As the Viper sped out of sight, the four of them decided to turn the car around and head back home.

CHAPTER 7. Set 'Em Up and Take 'Em Down.

Thursday morning, 6 year old Sedric Genet was released from the hospital to go home with his family. His infection was finally clearing up as long as he would take the antibiotic pills and use the topical ointment Dr. Bear prescribed him. Although there was no longer the risk of Sedric's little Genet penis having to be amputated, it would from now on always poke out exposed, as though it was marked as one of Dr. Rat's "work of art" trophies bobbing around out there.

Dr. Zander Rat's receptionist had booked many of Zander's patents to see him at his office that day. There were a few of them who Dr. Rat would be able to successfully treat just out of luck, in spite of him being a bad doctor, or dazzling one or two of them with a "snake oil" prescription. But most of them would end up storming out of his office to seek a different doctor, especially parents with male cubs. With most male cub patients Zander has ever had, he would never get to square one with them as their doctor. Zander would always bring up "he needs a circumcision" and the parents would immediately take their cubs and leave. However, Zander DID have a few of his drug addict clients scheduled to see him that day. That's where Zander's REAL money is. And within the past few days, Zander had been getting more of those kind of clients to see him. Zander had gleefully mentioned a few times about the recent increase of drug patients", Wow, this is almost too good to be true". As long as they can pay or have an insurance company that can be bilked, Dr. Rat would keep on writing out drug prescriptions. Those were the patients of his who walked away as happy as flies on a greasy, rotten banana peal. Dr. Rat wasn't good at any medical skills except for performing circumcisions, and he had been known to botch a few of them. "Zander. You have a walk in to see you", Zella Gerbil called out to him. "Tell him to wait until I can see him", Dr. Rat replied. "I'm completing a prescription for a patient". "There you go", Dr. Rat said as he pawed the prescription slip over to his badger patient. "If you need more, just drop in". "Aw-right. Thank you, Doc", the badger replied. Oh, heh heh. The insurance company thanks me handsomely. Just be sure to see the receptionist as you leave", Dr. Rat said as he and the badger laughed. As the badger left in a hurry to get to the nearest pharmacy, Dr. Rat said to Zella, "I have some spare time to see the walk in now". "Bonzo Mongoose, the doctor is ready to see you", Zella told the walk in as Wasafa Mongoose. "Hey! Bonzo!", Dr. Rat greeted the mongoose, then told Zella Gerbil and Nurse Squirrel, "You'll love this guy. He's so witty. He and I made friends while I was on my way to pick up my car yesterday". "Glad to meet you, Bonzo", Nurse Squirrel greeted Wasafa as she gave him a paw shake. "Me happy to know all you. You nice animals", Wasafa replied. "Oh oh! Bonzo gave me a cute little nick name too...I'm trying to remember what it was", Dr. Rat exclaimed exuberantly. "Bonzo, tell them". Wasafa didn't want to risk Zander's nurse and receptionist knowing that the nick name meant "Crazy Shit", so he simply replied, "Me call you Dr. Zander now. Me call you nick name tomorrow". "Awww, we're dying to know. Won't you tell us. Pleeeeaaase", Zalla Gerbal pleaded with a sassy smile. "Me tell you tomorrow", Wasafa insisted. "So what's up?", Dr. Rat asked Wasafa Mongoose. "Little boy cub me sister have. One I tell you 'bout yesterday", said Wasafa. "Yea I remember. The cub with the tight dickie sheath", Zander replied. "Well. Me nephew pee-pee sheath hurt me nephew today", Wasafa continued. "Me sister say he pee-pee need fix". "Is your sister here with him now!", Zander exclaimed with great anticipation of getting to do another circumcision right away. "She home. She no have car. She no drive", Wasafa Mongoose answered. "Get someone to bring her in", Dr. Rat suggested. "Me sister want to know, you make house call?", Wasafa inquired. "I haven't been doing THOSE in a LONG time", Dr. Rat answered. Then Wasafa gave Dr. Rat a reply he was just about 100% sure would get Dr. Rat to do a house call. "Me sister no like come in town", Wasafa said. "Might have to leave me nephew pee-pee like is...No curconcisao". And Wasafa guessed right about that reply getting Dr. Rat willing to do a house call. Dr. Rat exuberantly exclaimed to Wasafa, "What about an evening house call?! I can do an evening house call! We shouldn't leave your nephew uncircumcised". "Evening house call work", Wasafa answered. "Evening house call be good". "We need to schedule a time. But not tomorrow. I have an emergency room shift tomorrow at the hospital", said Dr. Rat. "And directions. I'll need directions to get there". "Eleven o'clock tomorrow at night. That good?" Wasafa asked. "I'll be off of emergency room shift by then. But wouldn't that be kind of late?" Dr. Rat asked. "You can no fix me nephew pee-pee then?", Wasafa asked, as though snatching the carrots back from Zander. "Oh sure sure. Eleven o' clock tomorrow night would be fine. Eleven it is", Dr. Rat agreed, willing to agree to what ever concession necessary to get the chance to cut the sheath off that mongoose cub penis. "Now all we need is directions", Dr. Rat said as he had Zella give him a pen and a piece of paper. "No need directions...", Wasafa began. "How would I find your sister's place without knowing where to go?", Zander asked. "Me sister place tricky to find. Neighbors no like strangers there too", Wasafa told Dr. Rat. "You meet me sister at Tropic Club. She take you to house." "Tropic Club?!", Dr. Rat asked. "You mean the bar, Tropic Club?". "Sim", Wasafa answered. "Sim? Meaning", Dr. Rat pondered. "Sim. yes", said Wasafa. Zella spoke up and said, "There's some pretty rough heavies who hang out there. I know some animals who go to that club". "Yeeeeeesch", said Dr. Rat. "No worry", Wasafa assured Dr. Rat. "Me be there. You be safe. Me got friends there. You like. You see". "Well, OK, Bonzo", Said Dr. Rat. "As long as you're watching my back". "You bet me will", Wasafa replied. Just before Wasafa was about to leave, Dr. Rat mentioned to Wasafa, "You know, Bonzo. I noticed YOUR not circumcised. Your penis would be a lot cleaner and work better without that nasty sheath over it all the time". "No no. Me no want curcuncisao", Wasafa affirmed. "Me nephew pee-pee need fix. Me pee-pee no need fix". Dr. Rat gave one more sales pitch for circumcision to Wasafa Mongoose, saying, "Well you do know that nasty sheath on a penis is Nature's only screw up. Not even Nature is perfect you know". Wasafa Mongoose still insisted, "Me still want to keep sheath for me pee-pee. And Nature no screw up. Nature good thing". As Wasafa was leaving, he asked, "You see me sister at Tropic Club? Tomorrow? Eleven? I be there. I show her to you." "Eleven o' clock tomorrow. Tropic Club!", Dr. Rat confirmed.

Early that afternoon Wasafa drove out to the Salem Rail Junction where Cheesah was just coming on shift. Wasafa found Cheesah as he was just about to get with his yard crew. "What's up?", Cheesah asked Wasafa. "It all set up", Wasafa told Cheesah. "Tropic Club. Tomorrow at night. Eleven". "Ele suspeitou de nada?" (he suspected anything?), Cheesah asked. "Zander Medico caiu como tonelada de rochas" (Dr. Zander fell as a ton of rocks), Wasafa answered.

CHAPTER 8 Zander Taken Down . It was Friday morning, Valentine's Day. Janeeza had been staying over with Cheesah at Zhang and Annika's house, and after a night sleeping together, loving and having sex with each other, Janeeza and Cheesah came into the dining room to join Annika and Raphael to have breakfast. "Hi ya, Uncle Cheesah. And Aunt Janeeza", Raphael greeted. "And how's my little nephew this morning", Cheesah asked Raphael. "Doin' great", Raphael answered. "And how is our two lovers this morning", Annika asked with a grin. Cheesah and Janeeza just replied with a smile. They knew that Annika knew, but Annika didn't consider it any big deal as long as her brother in law and his fiancee remained loyal to each other. After all, that's the way she and Zhang started out. Cheesah's older brother, Zhang, was on the return run that morning out of Chennia, as an assistant locomotive opporator, bringing an express train back to Erode. Annika was to pick him up at the Salem Station that afternoon, after which, Zhang would have two days off. Cheesah would be at his job at the rail yard by the time Zhang got home, but the two brothers would meet each other when Cheesah got off from work that evening. After Raphael boarded the bus to go to school, Annika had a brief talk with Cheesah and Janeeza, but it had nothing to do about them having sex together. "I've been told something is going down tonight", Annika opened the conversation. "The Tropic Club". "Sim. You do know what that rato did to Sedric Genet. And what it almost cost the cub", Cheesah replied. "How would you feel if that happened to Raphael?", Janeeza asked Annika. "It almost did...That is why I will not be one to stop you. That rato should get what is coming to him", Annika told her brother in law and future sister in law. "I only ask don't get yourselves in trouble. Other than that, I don't want to know about it". "Fair enough", Cheesah replied. "Sim", Janeeza added. "Then nothing more will be said", Annika promised. The day went along as normal. That afternoon, Janeeza watched over Raphael after he got home from school while Annika took Cheesah to work and picked up Zhang after he got off from work. And Janeeza had started preparing dinner by the time Zhang and Annika got home. In addition to getting dinner started, Janeeza also made sure Raphael stayed on his homework. At around ten o' clock pm., Zhang picked up Cheesah when he got off from work at the rail yard. On their way home, Zhang had mentioned to Cheesah what Annika told Zhang about what she had heard was to come down on Zander Rat. Zhang had a talk with Cheesah about the trouble he would risk getting into over it. However, Zhang also told his younger brother that Zander Rat should have been shut down a long time ago. After Zhang returned home from picking up Cheesah that evening, Janeeza said she had to go out on an errand, then asked Zhang if she can borrow the Land Rover. Zhang said he was OK with that, so Janeeza thanked Zhang, took the keys and drove off with it. A short while later, a horn blew outside. It was Wasafa Mongoose with Habbar Fossa, Habbar's brother Haja, and Sedric Genet's older brother Geulo, and another one of Habbar's fossa friends, Tahiry. "It's going to be a bit crowded", Habbar told Cheesah as he got into Wasafa's car. Cheeash took a seat in front between Habbar and Wasafa straddling the console. "If my penis pokes out of sheath, Just don't mistake it for the gear shift lever", Cheesah said jokingly. "Me no make THAT mistake. Me no want to grab you little meerkat pee-pee boy", Wasafa Mongoose said as everyone in the car laughed. Just before they left, Zhang walked up to Wasafa's car and said to Cheesah, "Don't get yourself caught. You do know what you all are planning to do is pretty heavy, don't you". "I know, Zhang", Cheesah replied. "Isto Filho de puta has got to be shut down". "I don't blame you", said Zhang. "Have yourselves a good time. As far as anything else, I don't know about it". "OK", Cheesah replied as the others replied a variety of responces as, "Sure", "That's cool" and "Thank you, sir". Then Wasafa Mongoose drove off into the night with he and the five pasengers crowded in his car.

A while later, the boys arrived at the Tropic Club on the outskirts of town. The Tropic Club was one of the last public walkin businesses on that street, with only a pawn shop beyond it, just before the street became a lone road going through an industrial district leading out of town. As Wasafa Mongoose drove into the dirt parking lot lookig for a place to park, Habbar Fossa mentioned, "It don't look like Zander Rat is even here, That Viper he drives isn't easy to miss". "He might have taken a different car", Habbar's brother Haja suggested. "Me see it. Over there", Wasafa said as he pointed to Zander Rat's glossy black, Dodge Viper convertible, with the top down, which was parked in the next lot over. Zander had parked in a vacant gravel lot to a concrete plant that had gone out of business, near some wild growing banana trees and the weed overgrown chain link fence that surrounds the premises. "I'd bet he was afraid of someone opening a car door against it", Cheesah noted as Wasafa found a parking spot. "He didn't want to get his big toy scratched", Tahiry Fossa remarked as the others laughed. As everyone was getting out of the car, Sedric Genet's older brother Geulo said, "It's getting time to take that quack out of commission for good", as a freight train passed by at a crossing 300 meters (900 ft) down the road just beyond the old concrete plant. Only four of them went into bar. Zander Rat would recognize Cheesah and Habbar so they remained in the parking lot and would come in later. It was planned that way. They didn't want spoil the surprise. The Tropic Club was by no means a ritzy place like it's name would suggest. It was in a sleezy outskirts of town going into an industrial district to begin with. But it was fairly respectable with good atmosphere and a nice place to hang out among friends. The night club even had open padios on both sides toward the rear of the building. And they didn't play their music overly loud. "Remember. When we talk with rato, me Bonzo. Rato think me Bonzo", Wasafa Mongoose informed Geulo Genet and the two fossas who were with him as they entered the night club. The night club had a catchy Indian hit tune playing at the time they located Zander. http://youtube.com/watch?v=OdfuCtLbm34 . "Foda voce, Caca Louco", Wasafa Greeted Zander as he was sipping on a bloody mary. "Oh, Bonzo, you made it. I was starting to feel uneasy not knowing anyone here", Zander Rat said being in a setting he was not use to. Zander felt a sense of confidence, that would later be shattered, as Wasafa introduced Geuli, Haja and Tahiry to Zander. The Tropic Club's clientel were mostly low income to lower middle income animals, not of the class of animals Zander was use socializing with. And there were some roudies and rough and tumbles there who were OK with anyone who didn't get in their way. "What a coincidence your drink of choice would be a bloody mary, Zander", Haja Fossa told him. "We have plenty bloody mary this night. You wait. You see", Wasafa remarked as the others laughed and Zander Rat was so naive he laughed along with them. "Oh Yea! Bloody mary is my favorite of all. In my opinion, you can't beat it", Zander replied. "Talvez voce vai morrer esta noite" (perhaps you will die this night), Geulo Genet said to Zander as he took an empty bar stool beside him. "Thank you very much", Zander replied, having no idea what Geulo had just told him. "Any time, Caca Louco", Geulo told Zander. "I enjoyed telling you that, Merda para o cerebro" (shit for brain). "Well I enjoyed hearing it, what ever it meant", Zander cheerfully replied as the others busted out laughing at him. "Nos vamos machucar voce, Caca Louco...Gravemente" (We're going to hurt you, Crazy Shit...Badly), Wasafa said to Zander with a laugh. "You all are such good friends. You know what? You all remind me of the friends I had back in Egypt", Zander told the boys as they laughed even harder. The two fossas got a good laugh as Geulo whispered in English to them what was being said to Zander, being they weren't from a portuguese speaking country. A large African civet, who had also come from Angola eight years ago, noticed how Zander Rat was being ragged on. The civet introduced himself to them, then got the attention of the patrons in the bar. Knowing there were quite a few animals there who fled Angola years ago, he was about to loudly ask Zander in Portuguee, "Hey, Zander..." "You can call me, Caca Louco. That's my nick name", Zander loudly interupted as those who understood the meaning busted out laughing, then whispered it to others near them and they too busted out laughing. "Ah, a stand up comedian. I like that...Soooo, Caca Locuo. Voce toma banhar se na sua propria merda?, The civet loudly asked Zander. "YESSSS!", Zander proudly proclaimed as he stood up on the bar stool rung, holding his glass up high and spilling some of his drink on the counter. Everyone in the night club busted out laughing at Zander so hard, some of them fell off their bar stools rolling on the floor with laughter, whether the knew the meaning of the question or not. The question was 'do you bathe in your own shit?'. While Zander was still standing up on the stool rung, holding his glass high with a stupid grin on his face, a big, ape like paw firmly grasped Zander's raised up wrist, and the other paw casually removed Zander's drink from his paw and set it on the counter. Zander turned around and saw it was a big gorilla. "If you're going to start spilling drinks in here, I"m going to bounce your ass the Hell out of here", the gorilla told Zander in a deep, baritone voice as the gorilla put his big paw on top of Zander's head and pushed him back down onto his seat. "Everything OK, Gamba?", A Grizzly bear asked the gorilla as he came walking up. "Everything's under control, Spike", Gamba replied. Then the two bouncers stared down at Zander for 20 seconds then walked away. "HEY, THE GEEK ALMOST GOT KICKED OUT A' HERE!", someone shouted from across the bar. Zander went, "HUH?!" "Don't pay attention to HIM, Caca Louco", Haja told Zander. "He's just jelous 'cause he can't be as funny as you are". "There plenty jelous animals come to bar like this one", Wasafa affirmed. "Hey, you're right", said Zander. And beleiving it Zander called in the direction the comment came from, "YOU'RE JUST JELOUS! I BET YOU WISH YOU WERE ME!". That was the joke of the century for everyone in the bar as again everyone was laughing so hard some of them were rolling on the floor, some on their knees laughing while others were hopping around laughing and clapping their paws. The whole night club was in an uproar of laughter. Even those out on the patios came in for a good laugh at Zander Rat. "LET'S HEAR IT FOR CACA LOUCO", the civet proclaimed. "MAE DO ZANDER UM O PUTA! " (Zander's mother is a bitch). "WHAT EVER IT MEANT, THANK YOU!", Zander exclaimed as the laughter continued. "VOCE COME MERDA, ZANDER!" (You eat shit, Zander), The civet told him. "THANK YOU!...I THINK!", Zander again exclaimed with no idea what the civet was saying as everyone laughed even harder. As the laughter continued, a fossa from the other side of the night club stood up on the rung of his bar stool and threw a tightly wadded piece of tinfoil at Zander as hard as he can, zinging Zander in the face with it. "YEOOOW!", Zander let out. "Mosquitos", Geilo told Zander. "Hey, Caca Louco. I think that bouncer threw it", the civet, just to be a wise ass, told Zander Rat.

Only 20 seconds after the fossa threw the wad of tinfoil, a lesser panda rapidly spun a glow stick on the end of a string and turned loose of the string just right to make it fly across the night club at Zander. The bar tender barely saw the magenta streak of light zip past him. "HEY, YEOOOW!", Zander complained as it too smacked him in the face. Everyone laughed at how it gave the appearance of a magenta color neon streak leading to Zander's face, then angling upward.

As another song played, http://youtube.com/watch?v=P7wKzm6idJQ ,and everyone focused back on socializing, Zander eventually got over being zinged in the face with the tinfoil. Zander had then remembered to inquire of Wasafa, "Uh, Bonzo. Shouldn't your sister with the cub who needs the curcumcision have been here by now?". "She be here soon. She Maria. Me sister Maria.", Wasafa answered Zander as Geulo asked Tahiry to go outside and get Habbar and Cheesah. As Tahiry Fossa approached Cheeash and Habbar out near Wasafa's car, Habbar asked, "What was all the laughing in there a while ago? I never seen it like that the times I've been there". "Me neither", Cheesah added. "We were making the biggest geek out of Zander you ever saw in your life", Tahiry answered as Cheesah and Habbar busted out laughing. "What a shit head", Cheesah replied. "Everything on your end is taken care of?", Tahiry asked. "It's done", Cheesah answered. "And Janeeza?", Tahiry asked. "She's waiting on us in my Brother's car parked by the pawn shop", Cheesah again answered as Tahiry noticed Zhang and Annika's Land Rover parked across the street next to the pawn shop that was closed for the night. "Well", said Habbar. "Everything's ready for it to go down. Let's do it", after which, Habbar, Cheesah and Tahiry headed into the night club. Inside the night club, Wafasa was sitting next to Zander Rat. Without Zander noticing, Cheesah asked Wasafa let him have that stool and Wasafa obliged letting Cheesah have the stool beside Zander as another song began to play http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nq6dc-NwqjA . "So, Bonzo, how long will it be before Mari...AHHHH!", Zander Rat said as he turned and saw Cheesah Meerkat sitting right next to him...The same Meerkat who hospitalized Zander less than two months ago. "NO NO NO! Bonzo, where are you?!" Zander franticly asked as he slipped off of his bar stool and headed for the front door. Then Geulo Genet, Habar Fossa and his brother Haja, Tahiry Fossa and Wasafa Mongoose began to follow Zander outside. "Hey! That rat didn't pay!", The bartender, an Irish Setter, called out. "You five owe a tab too! Get back here!" "How much is it?", Cheesah asked. The Irish Setter replied, "Twenty seven rupees and..." "Here's thirty rupees. Keep it", Cheesah told the bartender as he tossed thirty rupees on the counter then followed the rest of them outside. As Zander Rat made his way across the the parking lot of the Tropic Club to where his Dodge Viper was parked in the lot of the old abandoned concrete plant, he fumbled the keys to his car out of his clip on wallet and dropped his wallet but still had the keys. As Zander hurriedly got into has car, he noticed a Land Rover driven by a young female meerkat pull into the abandoned plant lot not far from him. As Geulo Genet, Tahiry Fossa, Haja Fossa and Wasafa Mongoose approached Zander's car, Cheesah Meerkat and Habbar Fossa were still walking from the night club parking lot. "Some other time guys! I gotta get outa here! You see that meerkat and fossa coming this way?!"; Zander told the four of them. "I see them", said Tahiry as Cheesah and Habbar continued approaching. "They don't look to friendly do they?". "They don't like me!" Zander Exclaimed. "The meerkat fucked me up before Christmas!" "Yea. Well, it looks you better get outa here while you still can", Tahiry Fossa told Zander as Haja stepped out of the way from behind Zander's car. "Well. See ya", Zander said as he went to start his car. "VROOP rum rum rum pop POW", Zander's Dodge Viper went as he attempted to start it. "What's with this thing!", Zander exclaimed as he tried to start his car again only to hear it go, "rur rur rur rur rur rur rur rur rur rur rur rur rur rur", with no compression holding against the starter. "COME ON! COME ON!, Zander yelled at his car as again he tried to start it. Zander's Viper would only go, "rur rur rur rur rur rur rur rur rur", as Cheesah and Habbar got closer and closer. "DON"T LET THEM GET ME! DON'T LET THEM GET ME!, Zander freaked out to those who he still thought were his friends. Zander tried to start his car again, this time rocking in his seat as the car would only go, "rur rur rur rur rur rur rur rur". Cheesah reached in under a nearby palmetto and pulled out a Comet cleanser can with the top cut off. "It's not going to start with THIS in your engine, dumb ass", Cheesah told Zander as he tossed it, hitting Zander in the face with it, poofing the unused portion of Comet cleanser all over Zander and all in his car. The once 400 horse power V-10 engine in Zander's Dodge Viper had been reduced to an inert chunk of metal. "BA-BA-BA-BA-BA-BONZO! DOOOOO SOMETHING! HELP ME!", Zander pleaded to Wasafa Mongoose. "Me not Bonzo", Wasafa told Zander. "Me real name Wasafa. Wasafa Mongoose. And nick name me give you mean crazy shit". Zander's eyes opened wide enough to where it looked like they would fall out of their sockets as Wasafa continued, "Things me tell you on other day no nice things. Things me tell you be, fuck you, go to Hell, suck me mongoose pee-pee, you brain made from shit, car should hit you". "Get the picture, shit for brain?", Cheesah asked Zander as Zander was so scared he pissed all over the underside of the dashboard in his car as he still sat behind the wheel. Wasafa also told Zander, "Me sister cub me tell you 'bout. Is no cub. Me sister too young to have cub. Cub me tell you 'bout no exist". "But THIS cub does", a female voice sounded out. It was Janeeza Meerkat holding paws with little six year old Sedric Genet still wearing a cast boot on his left leg. But the issue wasn't a cast boot on a minor leg fracture. The issue was his little Genet cub penis poking into the open with no more sheath to cover and conceal it...Just the way Zander had rendered it last Saturday, when he didn't leave his "paws off" of Sedric's bottom while other doctors were trying to save a dingo cub's life. To Zander, it was like both Sedric and his penis robbed of it's sheath were crying out for justice.

"You proud of what you done to him, Doctor Creep?", Cheesah asked Zander as Sedric stared at Zander with distain.

At that moment, it had gotten so quiet, the only thing you could hear was the Indian folklore music playing from the open patio doors of the night club as the odor of rat poop emanated from Zander's car. Zander had shit right where he sat on the driver's seat with it squishing out between his ass and the seat upholstery. "Sedric, I know a pizza place that's open all night, babe", Janeeza told Sedric as the two them began to walk away. "I would like some pizza, Janeeza. Thank you", Little Sedric replied. "Let's go then", Janeeza softly said to Sedric as they got back into the Land Rover. "What's about to happen here isn't meant for a cub your age to watch". As Zander watched the Land Rover pull away, the silence was shattered with an extremely loud "FWHOP!". Sedric's brother Geulo swung a 30 inch long steel pipe into the windshield of Zander's car. Zander freaked as he tried to get out, wallowing in his own shit. "FWHOP!". This time a large section of two ply glass knocked out as it collapsed onto the dashboard and into Zander's lap. "NOOOOOO! LET ME OUT OF HERE! HEEEEELLLP!", Zander hollered as he opened the driver's door only for Cheesah to snap kick it shut back on Zander. Zander tried the passenger's door. WHUMP! went the door as Wasafa Mongoose kicked it shut. Then Zander went back and opened the driver's door. WHUMP! Cheesah kicked it shut on Zander's paw. 'YAAAAAAAAHHHH!", Zander hollered in pain, holding his broken paw. THUD! Geulo hammered the steel pipe down on top the windshield frame using both paws as he stood on the hood, hitting it so hard he veed it half way down. "OOOO! EEEEEEE! AHHHHH!", Zander hollered as he tried to escape out of his car. Geulo jumped down off Zander's car and held the pipe in one paw, repeatedly slamming it down on the hood, WHOP POW THUMP BANG POW BANG WHOP BANG POP WHOOMP THUMP POW, Zander's car was pounded, literally tearing out fragments from the fiberglass hood and fender.

Zander again opened the driver's door. WHUMP Cheesah kicked it shut so hard the window shattered as tempered glass granules can be heard falling inside the door. Zander climbed over the trunk to get out and fell flat on his face on the gravel lot. "AHHH AHHH AHHH!", Zander screamed as he got up and ran only to have Wasafa trip him. "LEAVE ME ALOOOONNNNE!", Zander screamed as he got up again. Cheesah came flying into Zander with a side snap kick in Zander's side, inflicting internal injuries.

Zander laid on the gravel a few seconds then slowly back got up again. "OH OUW OH OUW OH OUW OH OUW!", Zander cried out in excruciating pain as he ran with a lope toward the street. The boys followed Zander as he tried to escape them. When Zander got to the street, he didn't head in the direction back into town. Like an idiot, he instead ran down the cobblestone street toward the railroad crossing, in the direction to where the street becomes a lone, ragged, asphalt road going through the industrial district". "EYOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEE!", Zander hollered as Wasafa Mongoose came up from behind and side kicked Zander in one of his kidneys, dropping him on the street. "MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!", Zander hysterically screamed as he laid in the middle of the street. "It's over when WE decide it's over!", Habbar told Zander as the boys took turns kicking Zander and spitting on him. "You'll never fuck up another cub again!", Sedric's brother Geulo told Zander. "We're gonna see to that!". Zander crawled on three of all fours down the street as the boys began laughing at him. One paw was broken from the car door. "THIS IS WHAT EIGHT YEARS OF MED SCHOOL GETS YOU!", Tahiry Fossa shouted at Zander as the other boys laughed. "This is what being a pervert got him", Cheesah corrected Tahiry. Zander crawled toward the the pawn shop from the center of the street and found a half of a loose cobblestone. "He's going to try to fight us with that brick!", Habbar Fossa laughed as Zander faced the pawn shop raising the piece of cobblestone with his remaining good paw. "I KNOW WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO!", Geulo called out as he came running toward Zander with the pipe. "NO YOU DON'T!", Geulo told Zander as he smashed Zander's paw with the pipe before he could throw the piece of cobblestone. "AHHHYYYEEEEEEEE!", Zander hollered out in more pain as his would be projectile fell to the street, and he knelt at the curb, holding both broken paws between his knees. "He was going to set off the alarm in that pawn shop so the police will get here", said Cheesah. "It's not happening now", said Geulo. "AHH YAA AHH YAA AHH YAA AHH YAA!", Zander screamed in pain as he vigorously rock back and forth still knelt at the street curb. Shock and blind survival instinct took over as Zander scurried to his feet, and in spite of all his pain and injuries, he broke out running into the night down the street toward the industrial district. "Anyone wanna take bets how far he'll get?!", Haja Fossa called out as the boys ran after Zander. "THIS far", Geulo replied as he slung the pipe down the street, skimming it down the cobblestones toward Zander. >Clang ying wang chang clang< the pipe sounded as it spun and sparked along the cobblestones then tangled in Zander's feet, tripping him and busting his nose on the street, then the pipe tumbling beyond where Zander fell as it sounded >cling - rwang - kang yang bap tap<. "YEEEEEEE!", Zander sounded off as he got up on his ass with his face bloody, sitting on the street. As the boys ran up to him, Tahiry Fossa flew into Zander with a side kick breaking two of Zander's ribs, slamming Zander face down onto the street as Geulo ran up to the pipe, stopping his momentum with short choppy steps, then picked up the pipe. "THIS IS FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY CUB BRO!", Geulo said as he stood waving the pipe, as Zander, gnashing his teeth in excruciating pain, tried to sit back up. "Let us help you up, Zander!", Cheesah told him as he and Haja jerked Zander up on his ass by each arm. As they turned loose of Zander, Geulo swung the pipe twice into Zander's arm as hard as he can, shattering an elbow then inflicting a compound fracture on Zander's upper arm. By now, Zander was in too much shock to utter a sound. "NOVAMENTE!" (again!), Geulo called out. Cheesah and Haja again jerked Zander back up on his ass then stepped back. Geulo swung the pipe as hard as he can through Zander's mouth, knocking out both denture plates and most of his remaining teeth sending them flying across the street and bouncing along the cobblestones as Zander slammed back down again. "NOVAMENTE!", Geulo shouted. Zander was jerked back up on his ass. Geulo swung the pipe as hard as he can through Zander's mouth. "NOVAMENTE!", Geulo shouted. Zander was jerked back up on his ass. Geulo swung the pipe as hard as he can through Zander's mouth. "NOVAMENTE!", Geulo shouted. Zander was jerked back up on his ass. Geulo swung the pipe through Zander's mouth. "NOVAMENTE!", Geulo shouted. Zander was jerked back up on his ass. Geulo swung the pipe through Zander's mouth. By now, the lower half of Zander's mouth was knocked almost completely off his head, barely hanging by one side. Zander's jaw bone was pulverized, all his teeth gone and his tongue was laying out on the street. "NOVAMENTE!", Geulo shouted. Zander was jerked back up on his ass. Cheesah Meerkat and Haja Fossa forced Zander Rat's arms straight out behind him, placing Cheesah and Haja back out of the way of getting struck. Then Geulo Genet repeatedly swung the pipe, pulverizing Zander Rat's snout with forward swings and back swings as the hanging lower half of Zander's mouth flipped around slinging blood everywhere. Habbar Fossa snap kicked Zander in the throat, as Zander's useless, lower mouth half flipped around again. Then Cheesah and Haja turned loose of Zander, allowing him to fall to the street gagging for air. Over and over again, Geulo shouted, "NOVAMENTE!". Over and over again, Zander was jerked back up on his ass. Over and over again, Geulo swung the pipe, striking Zander in the face and snout transforming Zander's face into an unrecognizable mash of mangled flesh, blood and protruding bone fragments. Zander didn't even have the shape to his snout anymore and much of his former face was severely beaten beyond recognition into hanging ribbons of bloody flesh. "IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?! YOU NEED ONE!", Cheesah shouted at Zander. "A REAL ONE! NOT A QUACK!", Geulo added as Haja Fossa stomped Zander in his remaining kidney. "Lavente o rato novamente" (lift the rat again), Wasafa Mongoose said as he stepped in front of Zander. Cheesah and Haja jerked Zander up on his ass by each arm and held him in a sitting position. Wasafa then pushed back his penis sheath and poked his penis all the way out facing only inches from the mangled remains of what was Zander's face as the others laughed. "You like me mongoose pee-pee?", Wasafa taunted Zander as everyone except Zander laughed . "Say hello to me mongoose pee-pee, rato", Wasafa further taunted. "Me mongoose pee-pee say hello to YOU, rato", Wasafa laughed, shaking it in Zander's facial remains. "ZANDER FOUND A FRIEND!", Habbar loudly laughed. "I DON'T THINK IT LIKES ZANDER!", Haja replied. "YOU BETTER NOT CUT IT, ZANDER!", Habbar added. By now, the boys were almost rolling with laughter. Although Zander Rat was still conscious, he was in shock and too weak to do any thing about it except just look at Wasafa Mongooses's penis staring close up at him. And what little sense of smell Zander had left was getting permeated with the popcorn epoxy smelling sex scent from Wasafa's penis as Zander had to smell it. "WOW, ZANDER! YOU'RE A MESS!", Geulo told him. "Rato face look bad. Me pee-pee lookin' at BIG mess now. Me pee-pee happy HE not Zander", Wasafa laughed as everyone laughed along with Wasafa who still had his penis facing two inches from Zander's facial remains. "THE FACE OF WASAFA'S DICK LOOKS BETTER THAN YOURS DOES, ZANDER!", Tahiry laughed. "Be careful, Tahiry. You'll make Zander envious", said Cheesah. "Envious of a dick?!", Habbar laughed. "By now, Zander should be", Cheesah laughed. "Isn't that right, Zander?" "Hey, rato. Me pee-pee have surprise for you. Pee-pee have just for YOU. A surprise", Wasafa laughed. Wasafa Mongoose then cut loose with a big, full force, long piss into the mangled, open remains of where Zander's face use to be as everyone busted out in hard laughter. "See, rato? This what pee-pee have for YOU", Wasafa laughed as he continued peeing. After Wasafa finished peeing, he began rolling his sheath back and fourth at Zander, covering and uncovering his penis head with it going in out in out in out in out. "Hey rato! You pee-pee can no do THIS. No?!", Wasafa busted out laughing, noticing Zander is circumcised very short. The boys got a good laugh from Wasafa massaging his sheath, making his penis head pop 'in out in out in out in out' at Zanser's hideous facial remains that dripped with rat blood, rat snot and mongoose piss. As Wasafa continued popping his penis head in and out, he busted out laughing at Zander," Pee-pee see you! Pee-pee no see you! Pee-pee see you! Pee-pee no see you! Pee-pee see you! Pee-pee no see you! Pee-pee see yu...Oooooh Ya ya ya Mmmmmmph umm umm ummmmmm". "Damn anyway, WasaFA: " , Cheesah busted out laughing as he and Haja turned loose of Zander, letting him fall while the other boys jumped around, laughing and clapping their paws Wasafa got his composure back then busted out laughing, "Uh-ho! Me pee-pee do jack-off!, as he ran around laughing, hopping around and clapping his paws with his penis still extended out and still slinging semen out of it. "Wasafa just busted a load in Zander's new face!", Cheesah laughed as the others laughed even harder. "Me...Ha ha ha ha ha!...Me pee-pee look at ugly rato face to long!", Wasafa laughed as he hopped around clapping. "Me pee-pee...Me pee-pee get sick of rato face! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Me pee-pee throw up because he look at rato face! Whoooooooh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" "That...Ha ha ha ha ha ha! That Ha ha ha! That doesn't say much for the rato face", Cheesah laughed. "When a di Ha ha ha ha ha!...When a dick thro Ha ha ha ha ha ha!...When Ha ha...",Habbar tried to say. "You mean when a dick throws up looking at it?!", Tahiry laughed as everyone again busted out laughing. "Now that's what I call an ugly rato face!", Cheesah laughed. "And I'm not finished with his face yet!", Geulo exclaimed, waving the pipe. "Get him up!" Cheesah and Haja jerked Zander Rat back up on his ass. At that time, a fast passenger train came by at the crossing where the cobblestone street becomes asphalt road 200 meters (600 ft) away. Cheesah and Haja stepped back. While the loud horn blew on the locomotive as it sped by, Geulo swung the pipe hard into the side of Zander's skull, crushing it so badly around his left eye, his eye fell out. As the passenger cars sped by >clic-clak--clic-clak clic-clak--clic-clak clic-clak--clic-clak< Zander was sat back up on his ass and Wasafa side kicked Zander in the chest, breaking his sternum. Passenger cars continued speeding by >clic-clak--clic-clak clic-clak--clic-clak<. Zander was set up again. Geulo swung the pipe hard as he can, knocking Zander's left ear off. As the train continued to speed by, Wasafa and Haja set Zander back up on his ass. The last car on the train was the generator / brake car. As it sped by making it's usual buzzing sound, Cheeash delivered a side snap kick between Zander's shoulder blades so hard, Zander's head momentarily flipped backward and his arms flopped straight behind him as he struck the cobblestone street face down. Zander was now in a deep coma from shock trauma to the base of the brain, brain stem and spinal cord from the kick Cheesah Meerkat had just given him. "That's one cub cutting creep out of commission", Cheesah remarked as everyone gazed at Zander Rat laying on the street in a coma, mangled up in a pool of his own blood and other fluids, while the buzzing sound of the train's generator / brake car can be heard going away into the night. http://youtube.com/watch?v=yBKguTWgPqI . Geulo Genet still worked Zander Rat over with the pipe, who laid on the street barely clinging to life. Geulo even pulverized Zander's penis and remaining testicle beyond recognition. Then the boys repeatedly propped Zander up on his ass in the street and took turns practicing snap kicks on him with each kick being potentially lethal. The sound of snapping bones could be heard as Zander got kicked all over the cobblestones like a lifeless, bleeding rag doll with his lower mouth half still flipping around, and his left eye spinning and dangling by it's retinal cord. And Geulo used Zander for baseball bat practice with the steel pipe tearing gaping holes in his hide. Thus Zander Rat, while in a coma and possessing nothing that resembles a face, sustained more broken ribs and bones, more internal injuries, more head trauma and his back broken in three places.

"Get mush face back up on his ass. I'm gonna nail him with another good kick", Tahiry said. Cheesah and Wasafa propped Zander back up, as the unconscious rat's head and arms hung limp straight downward with his left eye swinging like a pendulum by it's retinal cord from the mangled remains where a face use to be. Tahiry then kicked Zander as hard as he can just under his already broken up rib cage, causing Zander's head and eye ball to flip straight up as a geyser of vomit gushed up in several directions where a mouth no longer was. "Oooo, gross!" Cheesah exclaimed as he and Wasafa jumped out of the way of the streams of sour rat puke. "Me no touch THAT no more", Wasafa said as everyone watched Zander laying on the street, battered up, in a coma, with his gut contracting, and more vomit gushing out between folds of mangled flesh across the cobblestones. "I don't want any of THAT on me", Haja noted as the boys agreed to call it "quits" on Zander Rat, satisfied they had literally beaten him to a comatose pulp barely clinging to life...The boys fixed him good.

When they were done dealing with Zander Rat, Tahiry Fossa said, "Back in the homeland, we call this Island Justice". "That's right", Habbar Fossa added. "Where we're from, that rat would have been beat up all night long, then burnt on a beach before dawn". As the boys headed back to Wasafa Mongoose's car, Geulo Genet tossed the bloody pipe up on the roof of the pawn shop, it sounding off >yang - chong - bum ban< as it landed on the building. It was assumed that by the time it is ever found again, someone would think an air conditioning contractor or a plumber left it up there. After everyone got into the car, the boys were to get another laugh for the night. When Wasafa drove out onto the street, he pulled into the lot Zander's car is parked in. "Where are you going", Cheesah asked. "One more thing. You see.", Wasafa replied. Wasafa turned his car around on the gravel lot, then backed it up to Zander's battered up Dodge Viper. It should be noted that a Hindustan Contessa is a conventional rear wheel drive car. "Oh, I see what he's going to do", Cheesah noted as everyone looked back in anticipation. >ROM ROM ROMMMMM...< the 74 horse power engine in Wasafa's Mongoose's car sounded off as Wasafa floored the accelerator, slinging ruts of gravel into the battered Viper as the racket behind sounded off like a bad hail storm >ping pop ping pock tic pock ping pock pop bop pock<. Everyone looked back with glee, laughing as they pulled away from the Viper on their way out of the gravel lot. Wasafa managed to get the rear wheels to squeal a little bit as the car fishtailed onto the street. "Aw-right! Got some rubber THAT time!", Habbar Fossa exclained. They headed in the direction going through the industrial district headed out of town. Wasafa drove over Zander Rat's tail and right foot as they passed by him as he laid on the street. Two hundred meters further, >rump-et-te-rump over the railroad crossing.

The boys cruised a while that night, going about their way as though Zander Rat never even existed. When Wasafa made a stop to get gas for the car, the others chipped in some money for it. A while later, when they were still out cruising around, a news brief came in on the car radio about the assault on Zander Rat. Wasafa then put one of his CDs in his car's CD player, and that's what the boys listened to while they were still out riding around. https://youtube.com/watch?v=PqPn6_yFel0 - https://youtube.com/watch?v=cr0hJ4Kz6b0 - https://youtube.com/watch?v=ky3y3jhZ8cc .

On a stretch of straight open highway that ran side by side with railroad tracks, a passenger train came along in the same direction the boys were traveling.

As the locomotive, followed by the front generator / brake car and the first of the passenger cars began to pass them, Geulo mentioned, "I wonder how fast that train is going".

"We soon find out", Wasafa said as he downshifted and floored it, giving the car's 74 horse power, four cylinder engine everything it's got as the car began to accelerate on it's way to matching the train's speed.

"We're just about even with it", Haja said after Wasafa had gotten the car going fast enough to shift back into 5th gear, while the train was now only barely passing them.

Not long before the tail end generator / brake car would have caught up even with them, Wasafa finally got that Hindustan Contessa of his from 70 kph (45 mph) to running even pace with the 130 kph passenger train...almost as fast as Wasafa'a car can go with the weight of five others riding with him.

"We're there", Cheesah said as Wasafa'a car was keeping pace with some of the passenger cars, and as they were hearing the rapid >click-clack - click-clack< of the wheels on the rails and the constant buzzing of the generator / brake car just behind.

"One hundred thirty kilometers each hour", Wasafa said as he glanced at the speedometer (about 80 mph).

After running pace with the train for about a minute, Wasafa finally said, "Me slow down now, so we no crash", as he backed off of the accelerator allowing the train to leave them behind.

"There they go", Cheesah said as the tail end generator / brake car buzzed on past them with it's blinking, red, taillight.

As the boys continued down the highway at 70 kph (45 mph), they watched the train's taillight eventually disappear down the tracks into the night as the train left them behind going nearly twice their speed.

About 45 minutes after midnight, on one edge of town, the boys stopped in at an all night hang out. It's an old, brick and stone, open front building, adorned with neon lights of colors of cobalt blue, hot magenta, lime green, aqua and violet. They serve pizza, rice dishes, sweet potato patties, fried plantains, onion rings, home made pies, ice cream, various other snacks, soda, tea, coffee and beer. And there were also mangoes, pineapples, passion fruit, bananas and other fruit the locals would bring in to be sold. The place had a relaxed, informal atmosphere one would expect to find in a Starbucks coffee house, but it catered more to teens and very young adults, ages 16 through 22. Drawing the attention of the others to the self service car wash next door, Geulo Genet mentioned, "We can't be going in to place our orders with this blood on us". "Good thinking, Geulo", Cheesah Meerkat told him, then told the others. "One look at this blood on us, they'll call the law and we'll ALL be going down to the zoo". "I've been in jail before. It's not a place I want to go back to", said Tahiry Fossa. So the boys gathered some coins together and used the car wash's paw held wash wand set for low pressure to rinse the blood out of their fur, but the stains still remained. "It take shower at home, use soap and water that is hot. Only that make stain go away", Wasafa Mongoose said. "Wasafa's right", said Geulo. "But at least it's not as noticeable now". "We should have the fossas place our orders for us", Cheesah suggested, noticing that the blood stains hardly showed up at all on Habbar, Haja and Tahiry because of their fur being a dark brown as is on fossas. However, the blood stains showed really bad on Cheeash and Wasafa, having the light tan fur of meerkats and mongooses. And those stains weren't exactly invisible on Geulo Genet's yellowish gold, black marked fur either. While Habbar, Haja and Tahiry, all dripping wet from the car wash, went up to the counter and placed the orders, Cheesah and Wasafa stayed out at the car, with all four doors open. Wasafa reclined on the hood using the windshield to lay back on as he enjoyed the night tropic air. Cheesah adjusted the backrest of the driver's seat all the way back to recline on, hanging one foot beyond the threshold and rocker panel with the driver's door open, as he listened to some of Wasafa's CDs. Geulo was in the dining area, sitting in a ceiling hung, fully inclosed, wicker chair at a coffee table, waiting to have the fossas join him after they bought Cheesah and Wasafa's orders out to them. The dining area didn't have the typical, look alike booths and tables. There was a variety of recliners, vinyl covered sofas, inclosed wicker chairs that hung from the roof trusses on springs, lay back loungers (some of them plushie), love seats, stools, coffee tables, end tables, cable spool tables, stand up counters, and even some old automobile seats bolted to the floor and bean bag seats around a large, low table. And the hanging and potted flowering plants filled the dining area with sweet, floral fragrance. They even have wi-fi. Where ever you felt like sitting, standing or laying back depended on your preference and mood. And although the building was completely open in front with no air conditioning, there were large, commercial grade fans on the ceiling that blew down into the dining area. After Habbar and Tahiry bought Cheesah and Wasafa's food and drink out to them, they went inside with Haja and Geulo. Habbar took a hanging wicker seat like the one his older brother Haja had, and Tahiry pulled up a bean bag to the table. They weren't dining long before Haja pointed out how bad the blood stains still showed up on Geulo. So the genet and the three fossas decided to take up their food, beer and other drinks and go out to the car and hang out with Cheesah and Wasafa. "Oh, we're OK. You didn't have to come outside because of us", Cheesah told the four of them. "It's the blood stains on Geulo", said Haja. "You can still see them". "You right. Can see rato blood stain good on Geulo", Wasafa said as he turned and looked, still laying on the hood of his car and lounging back on the windshield. "Hey, look what I found", Geulo said as he found a paw held size bean sack with decorations on it laying on the floor, under the front seat, of Wasafa's car. "A kick sack. We use to play that when we were younger back in Madagascar", Habbar Fossa said as older brother Haja agreed. "Me wonder where me put me kick sack", said Wasafa. "Now you find. That good". "Anyone up for a round at it?", Geulo asked. "Let's go for it", Habbar said as the other two fossas joined in. Within a minute, Cheesah got out of the car and joined in on the fun, followed by Wasafa getting down off of the hood of his car and joining in. The six of them had a good time playing kick sack, each one kicking the bag up with the top of the foot. Sometimes they would keep it off the dirt parking lot for more than a minute and a half at a time. None of them pretended the kick sack was Zander Rat though. That was all vented out in the street near the Tropic Club a while back. By now, Zander Rat wasn't even a memory.

When it came time to leave, they went out to Wasafa Mongoose's house, which was nestled back in a grove of palm and banana trees, beyond the other end of Salem, heading into the rural Tamil Nadu countryside. Everyone spent the rest of the night with Wasafa at his place, after they went into the bathroom and showered Zander Rat's blood stains off of themselves with soap and good warm water. There were a few hours left before dawn for everyone to get some sleep. Wasafa let the fossa brothers, Haja and Habar, use an extra bedroom with a king size, plush matress on the floor for a bed. In the living room, Cheesah slept on a sofa, and Geulo and Tahiry slept on some mats Wasafa gave them to roll out onto the floor. And Wasafa slept in his usual bedroom. The breeze from the fans in the open windows felt good in the warm tropic air, and the humming sound of the fans running in the quiet predawn hours was soothing to go to sleep by. And occasionally, a gentle wind could be heard blowing in palm trees outside. Shortly after dawn, Wasafa's female friend, Lanette Mongoose, came by as everyone was waking up. After the hugs, kisses and display of affection between Lanette and Wasafa, Lanette fixed some breakfast for everyone. Wasafa told her what they had done to Zander Rat during the night. Lanette had known of things Dr. Zander Rat had always done, and of what he had done to Sedric, She said that Zander Rat got every bit of what he had coming. After everyone finished breakfast, Wasafa gave everyone rides back to their homes...After which, he came back to his place and spent some intimate, quality time with Lanette.

Shortly after the boys took off from the Tropic Club parking lot that night, Zander was discovered laying on the street, in a coma, covered in his own blood, 200 meters before the railway crossing where the boys left him. He had not been laying there for very long before a night club patron and his wife found Zander when they almost ran him over with their car as they were leaving to go home. When the couple, two otters, first noticed Zander, they had assumed he was a drunk who passed out where he was laying until they had a closer look at him. They then called for an ambulance when they thought he was a drunk who ran out into the path of a car and the driver did not stop. Not long after paramedics and law enforcement arrived, it was determined Zander was severly beaten up, and not hit by a car...But by whom remains unsolved. And the steel pipe Geulo Genet used to beat Zander Rat's face off with was never found. A large crowd soon came out from the night club, many of them who were two sheets to the wind from drinking, to gather around and see what was going on. And it didn't take long for the theories as to how it happened to begin circulating among them. "I bet he was dragged beneath a truck for several miles. Or she. I can't tell", a fox suggested. "Honey, It looks more like the truck ran him over, he, she or whoever", the fox's wife told her husband. "I'd say it's probably a sucide attempt", a lemur put his theory out there. "I don't think so. Not with all THAT done to him", a makak replied as she shugged her shoulders and held her paws outward. A big, half drunk, dopey bear even suggested, "Maybe he got hit by a train down at the crossing and was knocked all the way over here". "WHAT?! That's two hundred meters away. No one gets knocked THAT far, even by a train", a weasel retorted to the bear. "You would see a train stopped on the tracks if THAT were the case. They wouldn't just keep on going", a fossa noted to the bear as Zander Rat was being loaded aboard the ambulance. "Besides that, there would be nothing left", the weasel added. "There's nothing left to him as it is", a female white wolf said as the paramedics inside the ambulance pulled the rear doors shut. As the ambulance speed away with the siren wailing and the blue lights flashing into the night, a civet asked, "Hey! Wasn't he that geek rat who was in the night club a while ago?". "Yea! The stupid one", a mongoose affirmed. "Well, don't ask me. He's tore up so much, I can't tell for sure WHO he is. And there's no face left for one thing", a panda said whle the sound of the ambulance siren can still be heard going away as Zander was being rushed to the hospital. After the ambulance had taken Zander Rat away, the show was over and everyone went back into the night club to finish "Valentine's Night Happy Hour".

However, it was not a "Happy Valentine's Night" for Zander Rat. He was on the edge of death as he was being rushed to the hospital as fast as the ambulance driver, a wallaby, dared to drive through Salem, India as every second counted. During the trip aboard the ambulance, Zander Rat had another vomiting episode, caused by shock and bleeding of the brain. Vomit shot straight up out of the mess of torn flesh and bone fragments and splatted back down all over the remains of what was his face. Although there was an oxygen tube inserted into the hole where Zander's snout and sinuses no longer existed, there was still a danger of him aspirating and choking on his own vomit. Members of the ambulance crew had to quickly turn Zander Rat on his side and allow the vomit to spew out onto the floor of the ambulance. "Alcohol", a crew member said as Zander's vomit continued slapping down onto the ambulance floor, baring the smell of the Bloody Marys he had been drinking at the Tropic Club a while earlier. "Yup. I smell it too", another crew member replied. A crew member then administered Promethazine injections to Zander to stop any further vomiting. Promethazine is an anti nauseate for muscular injection, and with the places that were ripped open on Zander's hide at the end of a steel pipe, a muscle was not hard to find.

Zander Rat arrived by ambulance to the hospital shortly after midnight, still in a coma, bleeding of the brain, and dehydrated from vomiting and loss of blood, among all the other things that were done to him. Doctors worked on him through out the night, his heart having to be restarted nine times between 12:55 am and 7:46 am. Dr. Tavi Mongoose and Dr. Clyde Wolf had Emergency Room shift at the hospital that night, and Dr. Languar, Dr. Bear and several more nurses were called to the hospital to help work on Zander Rat. "I've seen this coming for years", Dr. Wolf said as he helped to get the gurney carrying Zander Rat off the ambulance. "It was only a matter of time, and now, Zander finally got it". "Clyde, you ARE going to help us save him, right?", Dr. Tavi Mongoose asked. "Tavi, as much as I don't like to, I will", Dr. Wolf answered. "It's my obligation. Like yourself, I too, am a doctor". "Good enough then", Dr. Mongoose replied as they hurriedly began the long task ahead of them of putting Zander Rat back together the best they could. Zander was worked on for fourteen hours going to 2:17 pm Saturday before the work on him in the emergengy room was done. From there, Zander Rat was taken to O. R. to complete the remaining surgery that didn't require emergecy room treatment. About half an hour before midnight, Zander was finally moved to intensive care, which was twenty four hours after Cheesah, Habbar and the other boys had pulverized him out in the street near the Tropic Club.

Zander's condition read like a long grocery list: *Zander was still in a deep coma with brain and spinal trauma after being in shock. *His left eye had to be removed. *His colon and large intestine had to be removed and a place provided for a poop bag. *His bladder had to be removed and a place provided for a pee bag. *His right foot and two thirds of his tail had to be removed where Wasafa drove over it. *His penis and remaining testicle had to be removed...The former Dr. Zander Rat is now Eunuch Zander Rat. *He has to be on dialysis until donated rat kidneys became available. And there was no telling how long that would take. *His tongue, nose and an ear are gone. *His lower half of his mouth had to be removed the rest of the way, and his pulverized snout had to be removed back almost flush with his head. They had to make a hole in the center of where his face was for a breathing hole. *They had to construct a small hole above his neck to replace his mouth so he can make vocal sounds. *A stomach tube was installed because his esophagus was destroyed...Zander would eat through a tube in his chest for the rest of his life if he comes out the coma. *It was suspected he has brain damage...His doctor days are over. In fact, they weren't sure at that time if Zander wasn't already a brain dead "vegetable" *Almost every bone in his body was broken including his pelvis *His back was broken in three places. *His spleen and gall bladder had to be removed. *He had to receive liver and pancreas transplants...The replacement organs had to be immediately flown in, top priority, from the city of Mumbai. *Damage sustained to his aorta almost instantly killed him. *Blood vessels had to be stinted and rerouted. *A few artificial joints had to be installed along with plates, bolts, nuts and pins throughout his body...It was said that Zander Rat has more nuts and bolts in him than a hardware store has. *His skull had to be rebuilt, including with a plate around the area where his left eye socket use to be. *His stomach was ruptured to where a third of it had to be removed *He will barely be able to use one paw and have no use out of the other paw...A few fingers even had to be removed. *Grafts had to be taken to reconstruct a layer of hide where most of his face use to be. If Zander makes it out of the coma, he will remember that 30 inch long steel pipe very well, along with the word "novamente". Zander may never know what "novamente" means in Portuguese, but that word will always stick with him in a bad way. *He had to have stitches literally all over his body. His body looked like Frankenstein and the reconstructed replacement for his face will look worse than a Picasso for the rest of his life. The only original face left is around his right eye, forehead and around to his right ear. The rest of Zander's face was gone. *His lungs were so badly damaged, he'll be on oxygen for life. *He'll be in a wheel chair for life if he makes it out of the coma. *Plus he developed a staff infection a few days after he was moved to intensive care. The infection presented a whole new set of problems until it finally cleared up: To little antibiotics, and Zander Rat dies of the staff infection. To much antibiotics, and Zander's body rejects the transplanted liver and pancreas he had to receive.

Cheesah Meerkat, Habbar Fossa and the boys really fixed Zander Rat this time. They succeeded in doing what Dr. Wolf, Dr. Mongoose and others have been trying to do for a long time...shut down Dr. Rat for good. The beating Cheesah Meerkat gave Zander Rat back before Christmas should have been taken as a warning.

Zander's own family back in Egypt has no idea what happened to him. And with the way Zander treated his family over the years, they wouldn't give a damn if they did know.

And medical problems weren't his only concern...if he awakes from the coma. There is now enough evidence to convict Zander on the prescription abuse charges he was under investigation for as a doctor, pawing out drug prescriptions like they were candy coupons. If Zander gets out of the hospital, its straight to jail.

Nurse Janie Squirrel and Zella Gerbil had to find other jobs. They certainly don't work for Zander Rat anymore.

In April 2014, while Zander was still in a coma, Zander's home was foreclosed on with that loan he took out from Quick Cash in Paw. "Big Eddie" Warthog owns Zander's home now.

Zander's 1950 Lacia had been completely restored. But being that Zander won't be picking it up in 90 days, Chariots of Fire Customs and Classics will have to sell it.

Zander Rat should have left little Sedric Genet alone. Zander should have kept his "PAWS OFF!"

The end.
