The Reunion

            Commander Basil waited in the deafening silence. Bomber had his blaster pointed at the cupboard doors. Half a minute ticked by, and then one of the doors creaked open just a fraction and a bloodshot eyeball peered around the room.

“Stupid cats!” the necromancer chuckled as the other door swung open, and he dragged Melvyn out by the scruff. “Be quiet kitten.”

Melvyn’s eyes were wide with terror, and he grappled for the amulet around his neck, but then he saw Bomber, who winked at him, and Melvyn went limp.

The necro squeezed around the back of the overstuffed floral armchair and crept towards the closed patio doors, expecting to see an empty garden but gasped in shock when he saw the two T.T.T.B.s still in the back garden.

“Plan B it is then,” he smirked, just about to turn around and head towards the front door.

The cold metal of the gun barrel pressed against the back of the necro’s head, and Commander Basil growled icily. “Put my nephew down now!”

The necro dropped Melvyn like a hot cake, and the kitten scrambled across the room towards Bomber.

“Get down on your knees, muther fluffer!” Basil growled again.

Melvyn spun around as he reached Bomber’s open arms to see his Uncle Basil standing there with an Uzi looking just like the photo he’d got in his backpack. Tears streamed down his face as relief flooded his little body. Bomber held him close and whispered. “I told you we’d find him.”

Commander Basil looked at the red-robed necromancer, his gun barrel still pushed firmly into the back of the necro's head. “Close your eyes, Melvyn, and cover your ears,” he said calmly, and Bomber adjusted his grip, turning Melvyn away. 

There was a click, a bang, and then several more bangs as he emptied the full clip into the necro to make sure the evilness wasn’t going to get up. The acrid tang of cordite filled the air, and Basil looked at the vermin on the ground and then kicked him to make sure he was dead.

A couple of seconds later, he said with a weary sigh. “Execution style isn’t my thing…but that evil piece of excrement was going to do terrible things to my nephew, and if he wasn’t dispatched, he’d just keep on trying.”

Bomber opened the patio doors and carried Melvyn outside. “You can open your eyes now, Melvyn,” he said quietly.

Commander Basil appeared in the doorway, framed in the soft evening light, as Melvyn took in the vision of his uncle properly for the first time. The tears dripped off his whiskers as he smiled, his little body trembling with joy as the greatest cat commander of all time walked towards him.

Basil reached Bomber, looked at his nephew, and reached out his paws. Bomber passed Melvyn over as Basil said gently. “You are the spitting image of your mother.” He pulled the kitten close and squeezed him. “It’s very nice to meet you, Melvyn, and I’m sorry I took so long.”

Melvyn clung to his uncle like his life depended on it, and in the next second, it did.

**AND CUT**

It All Went To Fluff In A Handbasket

Commander Basil raised his Uzi, sweeping the garden perimeter. Red smoke was billowing from the crate. Bomber, Shadow, Smoke and Ice had their blasters drawn, the steady whine of the guns charging as the screams rang out louder and closer by the second.

Blaster shots rang out in the cottage, and Commander Basil ran towards the door, keeping low as he approached. Pressing himself close to the wall in the small porch, he was just about to breach the door when pounding footsteps hurtled towards him.

“Did you get him?” a voice shouted from within the cottage.

“NO,” came a reply. “He vanished!”

“Where’s Melvyn?” another voice yelled.

“He’s gone!” 

Bomber and Shadow caught up with Commander Basil. “What’s happening, Commander?” Bomber asked, his eyes darting in every direction, checking for threats.

“Melvyn’s gone,” Commander Basil answered through gritted teeth. 

“What?” Shadow hissed. “How?”

Basil shrugged and shook his head in dismay. “You know as much as I do right now. I don’t know who’s in there, and it would be too dangerous to go inside.”

Bomber nodded. “Havoc, are you in there? We’re back with Commander Basil!”

Havoc burst out of the front door and slid to a stop. “Melvyn’s gone!”

Titan appeared, followed by Viper and Nitro.  

Ice and Smoke rounded the corner. “The necro’s gone!”

“What?” Bomber was losing his cool. “How did this happen? You guys were supposed to keep watch and keep Melvyn safe.”

The four Maine Coons looked utterly defeated. 

“Melvyn was in the lounge with Vera,” Nitro said. “The necro was screaming in the box. Havoc and Titan came into the house for just a minute. We were drinking tea, and then all fluff broke loose.”

“You were drinking tea?” Bomber gasped. “You left the necro alone, and you were in the house drinking tea!”

The four big cats nodded in shame.

Commander Basil had heard enough. “STOP!”

All eyes turned to him, and silence fell.

“Who came in the house?” he asked, looking straight at Nitro.

“A necromancer, not the one that was in the box over there, another one.”

“Ok,” Basil said. “So this happened like one minute ago, yes?”

The four nodded.

He pointed at the crate. “So what was all the screaming coming from the crate?” he asked.

“Diversionary tactic,” Ice answered, holding up a small device, now deactivated. “It’s a Screamer, an incendiary device that can be set on a timer and left.”

Commander Basil raised his eyebrows, and the four big cats winced. He inhaled sharply and tapped his comms unit. “Astrid, Melvyn has been taken. Scan the area for anything, especially a magical signature.”

“On it, Commander,” Astrid replied.

“Now show me where the necromancer came in and left the house,” he asked calmly. 

Following the Maine Coons through the cottage, he saw the patio doors standing wide open and found the colourful blue blanket, which Melvyn had obviously been snuggled under, now half in and half out of the open doorway.

Bomber turned to Shadow. “Take Smoke and Ice and guard the T.T.T.B’s. We don’t know what we’re up against, and the last thing we want to do is lose our only transport.”

The three cats ran out into the garden, blasters ready.

“Commander Basil,” Astrid’s voice sounded in his headset.

“Yes, Astrid?”

“I have synced up with Astrid 7.0 and another A.I. called Dave from the future T.T.T.B. We have scanned everywhere, and there’s no sign of your nephew or any necromancers,” Astrid said. “However, there are several entities, the like of which I have never encountered. Astrid 7.0 says they are Purrminators, and these metal creatures are here to exterminate everybody.”

Basil relayed the last part of the communication, and Bomber instructed Titan and Viper to warn the others outside. 

“We need to leave now,” Bomber said hastily.

Basil shook his head only fractionally as he said, “Yes, we must go immediately. There’s nothing here.”

Bomber met his gaze and instinctively knew that something else was happening.

Havoc and Nitro also caught the tiny gesture and walked towards the front door. “We’ll go this way and meet you at the T.T.T.B.” 

“Commander Basil and I will meet you there in one minute,” Bomber replied as he heard the front door slam. “Commander, let’s go this way. It will be quicker.” He gestured towards the patio doors.

As they stepped towards the doorway, a muffled cough sounded from behind the floor-length curtains which hung on either side of the patio doors.

Basil and Bomber pretended not to hear, but just as they got level with the curtains, they each took a side, ripping the fabric down, and one second later, Basil had his Uzi poked up the nose of one necromancer. He leaned down and hissed. “Make one sound, and I pull the trigger.”

Bomber reached into a pocket and pulled out a set of anti-magic cuffs and swiftly cuffed the necro. Titan and Nitro appeared, and Basil signalled for them to take the necro after he’d stuffed a white lace doyley off the small coffee table into the necro's mouth, pushing every last bit in. “No more screaming for you,” he whispered coldly.

“Commander Basil, the Purrminators are closing fast. You have less than two minutes,” Astrid advised through his headset.

Bomber glanced at Commander Basil and mouthed. “Now what?”

Basil flicked his gaze to a floor-to-ceiling cupboard built in a nook to the right of the fireplace. The doors were closed. Indicating for Bomber to crouch in the inglenook fireplace. Basil said forcefully as he grasped the patio door handles. “Let’s get out of this cesspit!” And he pulled the doors shut with a bang. He crept behind the sofa, and they waited in total silence.

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Smooch Snoopervising The P.A., Fudge Is On Pawtrol, Parsley's In A Flower Jungle, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

We can't believe the weather; it's been supurr sunny again all week, though still cold at night, but even so, having the daily warms makes a huge difference, as normally, the weather this time of year can be vile and really, really cold!  So we're feeling epically blessed and full of gratitude for oodles of sun spots around BBHQ!

The Cheeky Squirrel at Nanny's

Can mew see the cheeky little fluffer, like a grey ninja on the right side of the tree trunk?

The P.A. casually glanced out of the window at Nanny's last week when she saw movement down the bottom of the garden, so she zoomed right in, and this is what she snapped. The ninja squirrel who is responsible for the destruction of about six bird feeders since Catmas!!! MOL (At least he's well fed! MOL)

 WOOOO HOOOO The Hedgehogs Are Back

And then last Thursday evening, while the P.A. was just about to switch the outside lights off, she noticed some plants in the garden border were moving. So she crept outside, as mew do late at night, and she heard loads of rustling, which she said sounded like miniature elephants  trampling on everything! MOL

Anyhoo, she waited and watched, then finally look who appeared?

Food was quickly put in place so refuelling could take place after a long hibernation, and two bowls a night are being scoffed.

She thinks it's Bip Bip, Meep Meep or Nippy from last year. Then last night, in the middle of the night while the P.A. was on nighttime patrol, she spied another one, so who knows, the trifecta may appear in coming nights! MOL

We'll share more flower pics next week, as so many are blooming, so we'll have a colourful splash next week. 

First up in the news this week...

Smooch Snoopervising The P.A.

Smooch really is getting his snoopervisor status happening. When he heard that the P.A. failed miserably to get Chapter Twenty One of The Purrminotr finished last week. On Monday, he took it upon himself to make sure that the P.A. sat at the computer and finished twenty one and twenty two, and he didn't move until they were done.

Every time, the P.A. said, "Dude, I just need to think about this for a minute!"

He replied. "Fluff no. Mew, just keep those fingers typing. I'll tell mew when mew're finished!" 

So mew can thank Smooch for two chapters this week! MOL

Next up in the news...

Fudge Is On Pawtrol

Fudge is still feeling pretty hissed off about the catmint plants. If mew missed the story so far, click here to catch up.

So he's taken to patrolling the entire garden, checking on everything to see if there's any change! MOL

We can reveal that growth is still slow; however, with all the sunshine and a little bit of water, the plants will catch up in the next couple of weeks.

But in the meantime, we're going to, the P.A. is going to set some catnip seeds, and if mew have never grown catnip before, click here to read our definitive guide to growing your own!

In other news...

Parsley's In A Flower Jungle

Parsley was sitting in the garden border on Monday afternoon, enjoying all the flowers and the warmth.

And if mew're wondering why there are some dead lupin stalks still sticking up on either side of him, well there is a very good reason for this.

The P.A. doesn't clear the garden borders much until late April/early May because the ladybirds and other insects use the hollow lupin stalks and other places as their winter hibernation hotel. If mew clean up too early and then the weather turns bitterly cold - which it can do in the UK - then the bugs have nowhere to retreat to.

And fluff knows the insects need as much help as possible these days, as their numbers are ever decreasing. 

That's why, at BBHQ, we wait until the weather is warmer to tidy up.

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Last week, the most votes were for Blooming Marvellous, the number five pick. So here's Melvyn looking utterly epic!

He pranced around BBHQ like a little show pony wearing this one! MOL

Which one should he model next?

Here's the new April Bandana collection, hot off the sewing machine in the BBHQ Craft Room. These were made on Monday teatime under the expert eye of Fudge, who was hanging around the craft room and needed a distraction.

 As spring is now officially here, we chose some more colourful and bright bandanas for this month. 

The April Collection:

1.  Ballooning with Furiends* ~ Blue 

2. Spring Freshness

3. Peony Purrfection 

4. Cute Pink Cats

5. Blooming Marvellous

Tell us your top pick for next week in the comments!

*Melvyn modelled the Ballooning with Furiends with a white background last September, and we've been waiting to make the blue version since then. We just checked out the videos we posted in September, and there's a really cute 'get ready with me' where he's prepping for the catwalk run; OMC, it's so cute! 

That's us done for today. 

Amber will be back on Friday with another pawesome book, and if mew missed any other posts, here are the links:
