„Zeke, I need your help.“
The voice coming through the phone was shaking, and Zeke felt alarmed. „Hey, what's going on? Where are you?“
„In the park, near the lake, where I took the photos last... oh shit! No!!“
„Case?“
„Please come, it's an emergency.“ Then the line went dead. And Zeke cursed, picturing the worst, while he jumped into his GTO. Ignoring all traffic rules, he reached the park within five minutes; he jogged around the lake and finally found Casey cowering under a tree. „Hey, you okay? What's happened?“
The boy turned around, a broad smile on his face. „Oh, good to see you.“
Slightly frowning, Zeke eyed him up and down; no bruises, no blood, no broken bones, he looked unharmed. „Will you finally tell me what's going on,“ he asked once again. „After your call, I expected to find you covered in your own blood.“
„Oh, sorry.“ Casey shrugged, apologizing. „Maybe I should have told you that it's not because of me. It's because of the cat.“
„The...what???“
„Baby cat.“ Casey pointed onto the tree. „Got up there, but is too afraid now to come back down again.“
„Oh.“ With a mixture of relief, anger, and amusement Zeke stared upwards with squinted eyes. After a while, he was able to make out the little, grey creature, cowering on a branch near the treetop, meowing weakly.
„I've tried all to lure her down, but she doesn't move. Someone needs to get up there, rescue her.“
„Understand.“ Zeke couldn't hide his grin. „And you think I'm the right one to risk my neck.“
„I would do it by myself, but you know my sports skills.“ Casey looked at him, pleadingly. „Please, Zeke. She's still a baby. We can't abandon her to her fate.“
:::
If Zeke had known that he would end nursing a baby cat overnight, he would probably have thought twice before agreeing. Or maybe not.
He watched the cat happily sleeping on the blanket he had put onto the old couch in his garage for her, and he couldn't help it but smile. Since he had to kill Oskar during this horrible night where aliens had tried to take over Herrington, he had never thought about it to have a pet again. But it was hard to resist this little cutie.
