BEJING, CHINA

"Sir.. we got them."

A tall lanky black badger turned around and sipped from a tall glass of brandy, he smiled wide showing his sharp white teeth. He had a white stripe in the middle of his face, and a large pink scar along his right eye. His yellow eyes darted to the door as he smiled "Excellent." He adjusted the red tie around his neck, and looked himself in the mirror, dusting off his black tuxedo.

He walked out of his office, into the large storage room full of boxes and crates. In a chair sat two individual mice tied in wooden chairs. One was a gruff tan mouse, his brown hair had a noticeable white stripe in it. The other.. was..well.. a rat, tall and lanky, about the age of sixteen. His black hair toppled over his face and covered his bright yellow eyes.

The badger smiled and blew smoke from his cigar in his face "Oh hello Mr. Green.. So good to see you lad, haven't seen you since you were just a little one.. How is your parents.." he chuckled as the boy started to shake in his rope "Temper Temper, let's get down to business.. your father seemed to have left you something very valuable to me, and I would love to have it back."

"I don't know what you're talking about.." the boy was suddenly smacked across the face as the badger suddenly grabbed him by the collar "Don't fool with me boy! We all know where your father hid the stone! Now fess up!" the boy stayed silent as one of the thugs cocked a gun.

"NOW!" the boy shouted and the older mouse behind him cut the ropes, they backed each other and started to fight off the rest of the thugs, the older mouse grabbed a rope as the badger scratched across the boys arm, he cringed in pain as the brown mouse grabbed him and crashed through the window. They landed hard on the floor and ran into the darkness of the night. The badger stopped the boys and grinned "Don't bother boys.. he'll be back.."
