Smiling Critters continues on...

Chapter 478

Catnap, Frowny Fox, and Miss Delight made it to Miss Delight's sisters and the orphans in the hallway. "Oh thank goodness you're okay... we saw smoke coming from the school and we thought-" one of Miss Delight's sisters tried to speak but she couldn't finish the sentence. "Don't worry we're fine..." Miss Delight tried to make her voice sound stronger than she felt but it was no use. Miss Delight's sisters all watched as she broke down, and Catnap was still in Frowny Fox's arms as he too broke down. Miss Delight's sisters all watched over to her and embraced her in a group hug, Frowny Fox gave a gentle smile as he watched and he held Catnap a bit tighter when he heard the feline sniffle. "You doing okay Catnap?" Frowny asks with concern evident in his voice. "I'm worried for Hoppy... they were with us in the school but I'm not sure if they made it out or not, or if they were captured by the CEO..." Catnap's voice cracked a bit and Frowny Fox felt his heart shatter. "Hoppy is strong, I'm sure they made it out, and are safe somewhere" Frowny tried to reason, but Catnap shook his head. Catnap pulled away from Frowny's arms and looked at Frowny with a small smile "thank you for that... I really needed it" he spoke in a small voice causing Frowny Fox to smile a little bit. "It's what friends are for" he said they both looked at Miss Delight as she too finished crying but she was just being held by her sisters at this point. Frowny Fox gives her a soft smile and her sisters do the same trying to make sure she was okay, they didn't want to lose her. "At least we're all safe now" she said in a small voice "exactly, we just need to find Hoppy and-" Frowny was interrupted by Catnap "we have to find the CEO first, I'm sure he's the one who has Hoppy" Catnap spoke in a low voice, but everyone looked at him as if he were crazy. "Catnap no, the CEO would kill you on sight if he saw you coming" Frowny tried to reason but Catnap shook it head "that's why I have to sneak around him" Catnap said like it was the most obvious answer. Miss Delight and her sisters gave Catnap a look of fear, while Frowny just crossed his arms and shook his head in disbelief. "Catnap no, that's stupid and crazy to do, especially for you since we know he's after you" Frowny said in a stern voice, but Catnap brushed off his concerns "I'll be fine, plus it's not like I'll really get hurt" Catnap tried to reason but Frowny wasn't having any of it "because he'll kill you Catnap, you won't have a chance to be hurt because he'll kill you on sight, as soon as you go near him, he'll kill you, why don't you understand that?" Frowny said as his voice sounded desperate at this point, he was trying his hardest to get Catnap to understand but the purple feline wasn't understanding the situation.
