Play It Sneaky

(Originally by SquishStories)

The sun had still not quite risen from the slumber of night, and it was under the cover of early dawn that April descended upon Roxxie's hide-out.

The old shack sat next to Butterscotch's stable, and a lit lantern resting in front of the door told the deputy that the house was occupied. She knew from her days of dealing with hostage situations that entering through the door was a **** sentence; if she wanted to remain undetected, she needed to slip in through the window.

April scampered across the lawn and hopped through an open window, right into the hallway. She immediately noticed that Roxxie wasn't exactly the cleanest kangaroo in the west, as the floor was covered in old food packages and discarded articles of dirty clothing. She was always impressed by how much the gigantic crook managed to disgust her.

The thumping noise of approaching hops began to shake the foundation of the hallway, and April knew that she had to hide quick. As far as she saw it, she had two options; she could either try cramming herself into the broom closet, or hop into the laundry chute leading to the basement.

The hops grew louder and louder, and April knew that she had to decide fast or she would be mincemeat.
