Blood was spat from one of the captured felines that were holed up in the rundown basement of hideout they were scoping out moments ago, the tables turned on them rather quickly at that moment, Valentine looked over to her crew mates who were in the relative same state as she was, beaten and bloody.

"You sure we even have to kill them, Piper?" One of the dogs asked as they shoved one of the cat's head back, letting him catch a break for a moment.

"Gideon wants us to and what he says goes..." Piper answered as she looked at the various tools around the table. "...and he did say to make them suffer."

As Piper grabbed one of the tools and approached Valentine, she taunted her and her small crew. "You really thought you and your friends here were gonna get the jump on us?"

"I-I was hoping it...it would go that way." Val smirked, trying to ignore the pain to the best of her ability.

"Well...your hopes only get you so far..." Piper inched the drill closer to her eye but as the tool was about to pierce the cat's eye, one of the workers from outside came in, interrupting the scene.

"Piper...you're gonna want to see this." The worker dog advised as the American Foxhound grunted in frustration.

"I'm in the middle of something, dealing with a nuisance!" Piper continued to press the drill closer to Valentine's eye but was stopped again by the worker pup.

"Piper, you need to see this now! Come on, these cats can wait." The worker dog advised yet again as Piper eyed Valentine, letting go of her muzzle as she set the drill down.

"Fine, I'll be right up, you two stay here and watch them." Piper leaned close to the Tuxedo cat and smiled, "You bought yourself a few more minutes, I wish I can say the same to your friends." As she left, she gave out one last order to the dogs. "Kill them...and leave the leader alive."

"No..." Valentine tried getting free from her restraints, trying, something, anything to help her friends but she was powerless.

As one of the dogs approached one of Val's crew members, the restrained cat gave a wounded but stern stare at him, hissing as he managed to break himself free from the restraints and attack the dog with one of the various tools. "Back up, back up or this fucker gets it!"

"Elias!" The other car called out as she fidgeted around in her restraints, feeling it come loose by the second.

"I'll kill this filthy mutt, I swear!" Elias yelled as he circled the other dog, slowly inching towards Valentine to cut her free.

"No..." The other dog nodded his head as he got close to the other cat, placing his claws on her neck.

As tension rose with Val and her crew, Hendrix was still outside, holding his mate's paw as they waited for the cat to arrive.

"Everything's going to work out, hun, I promise." Hendrix assured them as they soon heard a knock at the fence nearby. "See? Already working out."

Hendrix soon regretted the statement as he pushed the flimsy wood piece forward just to reveal two dogs he'd never seen before. He had a good notion of who they were as he backed up and got in front of his mate to protect her.
