Pi made his way out of the train and tried finding his way back to the festival, but he didnt know this part off town……was he lost? He let out an upset sigh as he rubbed his tearing up eyes. He found a small place to relax as he sat down.

Mindy had gotten off at her stop. Good. Pi wouldn't see her pathetically upset face. With a few sniffles she filed out of the train. She knew this was probably the stop Pi had dropped off on but she didn't search for him. She needed to go home. The rabbit didn't even realise she was walking right past him as she listened to music.

“Oh it’s you...Mishka...” Hanson sighed and nodded. “I was around so many other people. And the two cops would probably kill me if I tried.” He shook his head. “I was gonna bring him back to the rebellion! Why would I kill him?!” His ears went back. “Do you think I’m insane enough to do that!”

Charlotte could tell tensions were high in the room the moment she stepped in, and she thought about trying to settle things down (so a fight wouldn't break out in the store), but everything moved too quickly for her to even speak. Pi took the hot chocolate and was out the door in a flash, to which the others swiftly noticed, understandably panicked over not knowing where he'd gone, and were then also out the door in a flash, trying to catch up with him. Charlotte blinked and meekly called, "Come again..." before turning to finish up the transaction in the register. She hadn't even put the money in yet.

Things slowed down after that, so Charlotte turned her attention to finishing up the festival preparations. A few people had come in asking about Pi, but when she told them he was long gone, they quickly lost interest and left, some buying a pastry or two. 

As she was sweeping the floor in the back, she herd someone enter and ask for a coffee for a coffee. "Right away, ma'am!" Lotte called as she put the broom aside and rushed to make a cup, using the pot in the back since she was already there. A table with various coffee things was on the customer side of the counter, so all Lotte had to do was a pour a cup and hand it to the woman, who could then put other things in it if she pleased.

"Decaf?"

Then, another customer entered, as signified by the bell whom must’ve come up to the counter beside the woman, as they started talking. Charlotte flicked her ears to the sound of Pi’s name and felt her throat dry up when the woman said “kill”. Were these... rebels...? She hesitated to finish the coffee, wondering what he’d say. From the way he talked, he definitely seemed like a rebel... but he claimed he had no intention of killing Pi. Still... should she call Milo...?

``Hm awith your attitude yes!`` The bird laughed, the hawk trying to stifle her laughter, ``You could've cut them off at the train station somehow. If you're acting wasn't so terrible we wouldn't be here and I wouldn't be laughing at you!``

She then glanced at the doe, ``Decaf dear thank you!``

Hanson clawed her face out of annoyance. “Oh shut it! I doubt you could do any better than I did!” He cleaned the blood from his claws. “We’ll find him tonight. Make sure everyone knows he’s going to be at the festival. I can’t be the only one trying!l

Kisha was waiting around for the reappearance of Pi but he never showed. "Hey Mi…should we go searching for him?" She asked her partner as she grabbed her radio in her car to filee it in.

Pi just watched the people walk past, he just lowered his head to his knees. He didnt even know where he was, he quietly began singing to himself as he quickly began blending with the crowd, following wherever they went

``Hey!`` She snapped at him, a wing to her downy cheek. ``Mind you! Don't start a fight infront of that precious doe!`` She then lowered her voice, ``I would've done better because I know what I am doing. You are at the bottom compared to me understand?`` She grabbed a hankerchief and placed it to scratch.

The woman suddenly calling to her made the doe jump, suddenly paranoid that the woman knew she was listening... but it was merely her confirming that she wanted decaf. The baker sighed a shaky breath and was about to emerge with the cup, but she stopped, hearing the man’s voice again. Her heart dropped at his words, ‘We’ll find him tonight.’ Yes... maybe she should call Milo...? She bit her lip. She didn’t want to get involved... but she didn’t want Pi getting hurt either... would they even hurt him? Didn’t they just want to free him...?

She huffed, put on a smile, and walked in. Her eyes darted to the rebels — an elegant hawk woman and a rather angry looking cat man — as she approached to hand over the coffee. She tried not to look nervous, knowing it’d give away the fact she’d eavesdropped.

“A dollar fifty, thank you.” She gave a small nod to the woman, then smiled awkwardly at the man.”And you, sir?” Perhaps he wasn’t ordering anything at all... maybe he only came in to meet with the hawk woaman... oh no, this wasn’t becoming a rebel meet up point, was it?

“Yeah....I doubt it would be hard to find him...” Milo was very nervous about him getting lost. “You get the word out while I try to hunt him down.” He turned his radio on just in case someone found him

“I’ve been closer to him than you have!” Hanson growled. He wasn’t afraid to scar the doe behind the counter. “I seriously hope you get close enough to get him but you fail!” He sighed and looked at her. “A cup of earl grey...” he grumbled

Kisha called for backup as the search began, her eyes looking closely around town as she made sure to have s many people in one place as possible to make it easier.

Pi just kept wandering until he found the train station agaiin, did he dare enter? He made his way towards the train and sat in the ffar back, falling asleep

``It's a bet then!`` The hawk sneered, grabbing her coffee after paying the doe. ``Good day Han Solo!``

Mishka then stormed out the door. Stupid cats! She would show him!

Mindy was on the subway again. She had gone home and spoke to her Aunt, who could only offer her so little comfort. Her advice was good though. She just needed to relax, like her aunt said. If Pi didn't find her or the cops don't then she would need to search for him. But that wasn't supposed to be her mind right now. So, she head to the center.

She decided to head to that bakery she had stumbled upon. She needed to apologize for being so rude to the cops and for the sudden outburst she had. She had been rude to a lot of people. Man she was a prick!

Hanson sat down at a small table. He pulled out a notebook from his bag and began to sketch. He could remember most details about Pi’s face. He wanted to make sure everyone in the rebellion knew what he looked like.

Milo was down in the subway. “I’ve followed his scent down to the train system. “I’m getting on the next one to see if he’s there!” He got on the train and searched for him
