Rescue Mission [p]

Today was the day.

It was the perfect weather for the humans to crack open a window and enjoy a breeze.
The perfect weather to run the rescue mission he'd been fiending to do.

"Slytiger, Yellowtwist!"

The summoning was quick and simple. There was no time to waste. They had to do this during peak hours, or they'd lose their window. The two warriors had only gotten a hint at going on a mission, but no details aside from that as Hawkbite was working those out still. They were also told to stay quiet about it until the day of to keep nosey cats out of the way. There was no room for error here.

"Let's go," Hawkbite would signal for them to follow once the duo were close.

He assumed Dawnstar would be waiting, but he'd glance over in the direction she was. A signal that they were ready to leave. He wouldn't say a word so overhearing ears couldn't pry.

...

Once a decent way out into the territory, Hawkbite would finally speak. His voice was slightly hushed, not wanting to draw any attention from predators or other cats.

"We're retrieving Woollyfeather from the den the humans have kept her in. It's a simple plan. The humans have these clear entrances to their dens that they prop open. Too narrow a space to fit through and too hard for one cat to push fully open," Hawkbite described entrance. A haunting picture of Woolly's smashed toes came back to him. She was so desperate to get out, she caused harm to her paws that he wouldn't allow to happen again.

"Dawnstar, Slytiger," He addressed the couple, with a quick side glance. "You two are the strongest of us, you'll have to help Woolly push the clear entrance open. I'll try to help push too, but the entrance sits higher up than I'll be able to stretch once it starts opening. I'll be sure to grab Woolly and pull her out, if necessary," Hawkbite continued as he pictured the plan unfold in his head. He was aware of his height restrictions so he wouldn't try to play hero where he couldn't.

"Yellowtwist, I need you to stand guard nearby. The humans might hear us and we need to know if they come out. Hopefully we'll be quiet enough they won't be a problem. Be sure to keep an eye on any curious kittypets. The ones in this area shouldn't be a problem and there's no dogs around the den she's in, but be aware regardless," he gave the young warrior a side glance. Hopefully he didn't let his sharp tongue complain that he was on guard duty.

"The den she's in isn't too far outside the territory. We'll be there soon. Any questions? Things I might've missed?" Hawkbite was pretty confident in his plan. The only problem was Woollyfeather didn't know they were coming. However, he was certain she'd be at that window.

Woollyfeather was going to come home today.

The Queen of Mean cocked her head as she watched Hawkbite round of two warriors, her mate and the young warrior, Yellowtwist. Dawnstar had yet to see whatever Hawkbite and the other Enforcers saw in Yellowtwist. At the moment he seemed more like a gnat in her pelt than anything else. At the signal to leave, Dawnstar got to her paws and padded behind Hawkbite silently.

He explained the game plan as they walked. So all she had to do was push open an entrance that was propped open? Dawnstar glanced at Slytiger after hearing he'd be working with her. "Wonderful, that means I'll be doing all the heavy lifting. Wouldn't want you to break a nail, Tigerflower." She taunted her mate to see if she could get a rise out of him. No matter how many times she threatened the guy with bodily harm, death, or outright ignored him he stuck around like a burr. It was both endearing and strange.

The leader's amber glare found Yellowtwist once he heard he'd be doing the easy work, a lookout. She was expecting to hear some backlash at the decision, he certainly enjoyed running his mouth. "All sounds good to me." She meowed after a moment's thought. The way Hawkbite explained it made this sound like it would be quick and easier.

He twitched his nose. Something was crawling on it. Yellowtwist lifted his paw and placed it down in another spot. He lifted his paw to reveal to himself a dead fly that had been crawling around on the scar over his nose. Served the fly right. Why did flies land on cats, anyway? He wasn't dead. In fact, he was quite the opposite at the moment. He had tons of energy that day, but of course, the day he wants to go on a patrol, he wasn't called on one.

He heard his name called from the clearing and jumped to his feet immediately and took off as if it was an instinct in the sense he didn't mean to, but he was itching to actually do something. Besides training Pigeonpaw. Anything besides that. He could take it at the moment, but he didn't want to. He'd literally rather spend an hour with Palesong.

Whatever Hawkbite was doing, it was apparently rushed, so he didn't bother asking what it was. Instead, he headed out of the exit to camp.

After the warriors had left, Hawkbite was finally telling them what they were doing. Yellowtwist was focused on nothing so much he didn't notice Dawnstar was with him. Huh, well Woollyface- No, Woollyfeather must've been someone valuable. Dawnstar's presence didn't phase Yellowtwist. Might've during a meeting, but now Dawnstar wasn't annoyed.

Alright, so he apparently wasn't going to be doing what he assumed would be the hardest part of the mission. He was okay with that. There would be other things to do.

Aw, man, he was guard. Yellowtwist caught the looks he got. He looked back at Hawkbite for a moment, then turned to Dawnstar to stare back. He was certain they thought he would complain. There wasn't a glare, just a 'I'm not dumb.' He had already almost said something about it, and then he thought. If it was too hard for a single average cat to push open, Yellowtwist would do literally nothing. He wasn't strong, and there wasn't any way to get around it, like in battle. Welp, that was disappointing that he couldn't use his energy. Not as disappointing as the commander and the leader both staring at him like he was going to say something completely unnecessary. Thanks for thinking so highly of me. he thought.

"Makes sense to me." He meowed after Dawnstar. He was ready to go.

Slytiger's ears perked as he heard Hawkbite call his name alongside Yellowtwist. He stood, taking a moment lower himself into a stretch before he approached the Commander with a nod in greeting. He presumed that they were finally going to get the details of this secret mission, and he automatically fell in step beside Dawnstar as Hawkbite led them out of camp.

The plan was well thought out, and the details about the clear, propped open twoleg thing brought back vague memories of his kithood, but nothing concrete. He had left the life of a kittypet behind at eight moons and honestly didn't remember much from those times. Certainly not enough for him to add anything to the plan. Instead, Slytiger turned to his mate with an over-exaggerated huff at her words. "I mean, it would be a shame if I broke one, but you're much to pretty and important to get your paws dirty, so really I'll be doing all the hard work," he teased right back with a grin. He was totally going to mysteriously disappear from the Clan in the next few days never to be seen again because Dawnstar would hide his body so well, but it was worth it!

"I don't have anything to add the plan, but if the twolegs put a collar on Woollyfeather we'll have to keep an eye out to make sure it doesn't get snagged on anything." That could end badly in many different ways, but as long as they were aware of it (assuming she even had one) it wouldn't be too much of a hassle.
