Hiro’s rats did their best as they began to rustle about the brush of the hedges. At first, Norville didn’t hear a thing – but then his sonar began to pick up noises in the hedges nearby. He didn’t know what to think at first, but as he began to scan the area himself – he heard some familiar voices – the rats!

  “The rats, here in the suburbs?!” thought Norville.

  Norville could tell that they could be after Marshall’s prized blue rose – if anything happened to the blue rose – Marshall would fire him for sure. That meant Norville would have to up the ante, he grabbed a plow tool and began to dig a trench around the blue rose. He then filled the trench with some water – only he could fly over the trench and back.

  “Let’s see if those pesky rats get over this!” laughed Norville.

  Hiro could see how clever Norville was – Sammy was right on not underestimating someone like Norville. He signaled his rats to move out, as they began to sneak out of the hedges, Norville could see them emerge. He was going to use his ploy tool for self-defense.

  “Don’t come any closer, I’m warning you!” cried Norville.

  Norville swung the tool, he missed the rats by just a few inches.

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  “Ha, you have to do better than that!” laughed one of the rats.

  The other rats were trying to form some sort of bridge around the moat that Norville had created. The rats grabbed all the plywood they could and began making it.

  “Oh no you don’t!” cried Norville.

  Norville then tossed the plow tool right towards the bridge sending it into pieces – the rats who were busy building fell right into the moat. They had to swim back to their side. Norville could simply just fly over there and back without any problems.

  “You’re going to have to do better than that!” laughed Norville.

  Hiro could tell that he would have to use the jetpacks, only with jetpacks could the rats succeed in this.

  “Get the jetpacks!” roared Hiro.

  The rats then scampered to their supply truck and grabbed a few of them from the truck itself. Then they headed over to where Hiro was.

  “Let’s do this!” said Hiro.

  Hiro decided to lead the rats to victory – he was going all in already and Norville did his best trying to use the pieces of plywood as self-defense. Literally using the plywood as a baseball bat, knocking each rat that came by on its jetpack right out of the park. A few rats were sent crashing across the neighborhood and landing in other homes. Hiro was knocked off course and sent tumbling into some mud.

  “Uh, not going to be as simple as I thought” said Hiro.

  Hiro could tell he needed to create a diversion for Norville – he began to scan the neighborhood searching for the right neighbor to recruit. Lucky, Hiro came across a female bat – Anja. At first Anja wasn’t the sort of female bat to be interested in – but then Hiro showed her the money that he was prepared to bribe her to create a diversion for Norville.
