The Varmit
Episode 1

"Alright. Now that I've got everyone's attention again, why don't we start talking about the docks?" Sal sat back in his chair behind the desk. The three other sticks crowded around, trying to distance themselves from Lou who was obviously getting on their leader's nerves.

"Okay, Lou. What's going on with Little Daub and this crew of rats I've been hearing about?"
"Daub's got an old warehouse up by dock nineteen. It's filled with rats. He's been training them to jump through little hoops and roll around on top of toilet paper rolls." Lou paused, waiting for a response. He got none, so he offered "I'm pretty sure he's not a threat to our operation."
"You want we should whack him, boss?" Pippy asked, full of malice.
"Nah. We don't know enough about these rats." Sal said in a grumbling sort of way. "Bootsie, Skip, get over to Buddy The Seal's joint and see if you can't get any more information. Unlike our friend Lou, here, I'm not convinced Daub's just going to roll over for us now that he's got an army of trained attack rats."

"But boss, they're not attack rats. They just do cute little tricks for small bits of cracker--" Sal shot Lou a look and he shut up.
"Boss, isn't Buddy The Seal just...well, a seal?" Bootsie asked. "I mean, what information could he have?"

"Don't under estimate the seals!" Sal shouted. "They're smarter than you think and their eyes miss nothing."
"And Lou? See if you can't grab one of the rats and beat some truth out of it. And take Pippy with you in case there's trouble."
