A/N: Still working on my X-Men book so I'm trying to work on this one between updates for my other book. I got college classes so updates may be slow. Just be patient though.

"This is the big one. We've got two days to do or die. Dodger you keep an eye on the new kid. Show him the ropes. I don't wanna put any undue pressure on you but... as you march off to do your duty I want you to keep one thing in mind. Dead men do not buy dog food! So big smiles and get out there... and fetch!" Fagin says as he lets the group out of his basket on his moped before driving off.

"If Mr. Sykes don't see some cold hard cash soon we are Doberman chow. Come on. We'll start on Columbus Avenue." Dodger says as the group follows him.

"What kind of work do we do anyway?" The cat asks as he looks at Dodger.

"Investment banking, man. Didn't you read about us in the Wall Street Journal?" Tito asks.

"Really?" The cat asks impressed.

"Yeah." Alexis says.

"Captains of Industry." Francis says.

"Gosh! Can I be one too?" The cat asks.

"Okay Dodge. We gotta clean you up child and give you some on-the-job training." Rita says as he looks at the kid.

*Song being played is Streets of Gold by Oliver and Company*

Rita Singing

Now listen up
You've got a lot to learn
And if you don't learn, you don't eat
But if you're tough
And always use your head
You'll feel right at home on the street

When you've got talent ev'rything is free
Watch how we do things, ooh, I guarantee

The Group Singing

You're gonna see how the best survive
We make an art out of staying alive
If you do just as you're told
These are streets of gold

Ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile
You'll take the town and you'll take it with style
If you play it brave and bold
These are streets of gold

Alexis Singing

To live from week to week
You need technique
So you practice ev'ry day
The only rule is:
Thou shalt not get caught
Get what you can and then get away
Remember all the places you can hide
Remember we are always on your side

The Group Singing

You're gonna see how the best survive
We make an art out of staying alive

If you do just as you're told
These are streets of gold
Ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile
You'll take the town and you'll take it with style

If you play it brave and bold
These are streets of gold
When you've got talent ev'rything is free
Watch how you do things, ooh, I guarantee

You're gonna see how the best survive
We make an art out of staying alive
If you do just as you're told
These are streets of gold

Ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile
You'll take the town and you'll take it with style
If you play it brave and bold
These are streets of gold

*Song Over*

"Hello? What have we here?" Dodger asks as everyone runs into him as he stops.

"All right! A chauffeur shuffle!" Tito says excitedly seeing a limo.

"Listen up. Einstein gimme a fender bender at two lights." Dodger says.

"Yeah." Einstein says

"Tito and Alexis. You're in charge of electronics. Rita and I'll work the crowd. Francis..." Dodger says as Tito jumps up and down.

"I know. My public awaits." Francis says proudly.

"Hey but what about me? What do I do?" The cat asks.

"You help Tito and Alexis." Dodger says

"All right! Come on gato. Uncle Tito and aunt Alexis will show you how it's done." Tito says as he puts a paw around the kid's neck.

"Ready? Go!" Dodger shouts as everyone splits up to do their assigned jobs.
