Two... Three!\"\nWith that, the officer kicked the door, which exploded\ninwards.  Acting a lot braver than they\nfelt, the team rushed inside, pointing their water pistols at the lone figure\ninside.\nIt was a cat, but her fur gleamed an unnatural shade of\npurple in the dim light.  She sat in a\nchair, her back to the officers.\n\"Paws up!\" one of the officers shouted.\nSlowly, the cat raised her paws above her head.  The squad all breathed a sigh of relief,\nhardly able to believe that she had given up so easily.\nBut then, in one lightning quick motion, the cat spun around\nand kicked her chair at them.  The police\nlet out a high pitched scream of terror as the chair smacked their comrades\nfirmly in their faces, knocking them over backwards.  They pointed their water pistols at her and\ndesperately began pulling the triggers, sending streams of water flying at the\ncat.\nBefore their eyes, the purple cat leaped into the air, and\nbegan to run across the wall, evading the water without a drop getting on her\nshiny leather outfit.  With a flip, she\nlanded back on the floor and punched one of the officers so hard that he flew backwards,\nknocking the two other officers behind him over as well.  Spinning around, she landed a powerful kick\non another officer.  Then she jumped up,\nperforming a midair split to kick the last two remaining officers in their\nfaces.  Landing back on the ground, she\ntook off from the room, leaving behind a room full of moaning police officers.\n\"That was awesome,\" one of them croaked as she slammed the\ndoor shut behind her.\nBut as the purple cat entered the hallway, one of the suited\nSiamese cats appeared at the top of the stairs. \nHis face expressionless, he pulled out his own water pistol and began\nfiring at her.  The cat rolled to avoid\nbeing hit, and took off in the opposite direction.  The window at the other end of the hall was\nopen, and she leaped through it, sailing out of the building and straight into\nthe next one.  She hit the floor hard,\nrolling a few feet before tumbling down the stairs.  She struck the wall at the bottom of the\nstairway, and a ceramic vase toppled off of its shelf, crashing on top of her\nhead.\n\"Oooh,\" she moaned, rubbing her head as she stood up, \"that\nwas a horrible idea.\"\nHer cell phone began to ring, and she answered it.\n\"Are you all right, Grapity?\" the voice on the other end\nasked.\n\"I'm fine,\" she answered. \n\"Where's my exit?\"\n\"Go outside, there will be a phone booth at the street\ncorner.\"\n\"Aw,\" the cat whined, \"I was hoping I'd get to jump between\na few buildings first!\"\n\"Not now, Grapity,\" the voice reprimanded her, but then it\npaused.  \"Okay, maybe later.  But right now you need to get out of there!\"\n\"Ugh, fine,\" the cat grumped before hanging up the\nphone.  With that, she ran the rest of\nthe way down the stairs and out through the door.  Sure enough, there was a telephone booth just\na few yards away.  As the cat began to\nmake her way towards it, the sound of screeching tires filled the air, and a\nmassive dump truck rounded the corner, aiming itself directly at the telephone\nbooth.  One of the suited cats was seated\ninside.\n\"Oh, come on,\" the cat muttered.  \"That's just overkill!\"\nBut then she started to run. \nThe truck's tires squealed on the pavement, sending it flying towards\nthe phone booth.  The cat put on a\ndesperate burst of speed, threw the door open, and picked up the phone just as\nthe truck smashed into the side, going straight through the booth and into the\nbuilding behind it.\nOnce the dust had settled, the cat stepped out of the truck\nand went to inspect the rubble.  There\nwas no body.\n\"She got out,\" he said as his companions came to join him.\n\"It doesn't matter,\" the second one said.  \"We know who they're targeting.\"\nThe third one nodded, \"His name is Nutto.\"\nThere was a moment of suspenseful silence, and then the\nfirst cat snickered.\n\"Nutto,\" he muttered, turning to lead the others away.  \"What a stupid name.\"\n"}
