10k finds the kitten behind a warehouse by the bins, it’s obviously only young. He saves the little fluff ball from its Zombie-cat mum who seems intent on eating her. She cries in his arms for hours until she finally falls asleep, probably feeling safe for the first time in her short life.
The kitty is white apart from ginger ears and a ginger tail. She’s covered in blood and dirt and 10k uses the last of the water that he’d been saving to wash her clean and make her look a little healthier.
Warren regards the cat with a cautious eye, she’s getting a little tired of 10k picking up every stray animal he finds and endeavouring to nurse them back to health.
“What are you even going to feed it?”
“Whatever I can find!”
“Feed it love and joy kid! Love and joy!” chimes in Doc
“Steven Beck, you keep out of this.”
10k likes to plonk the kitty into his hood, where she sits and surveys the surroundings like a queen in a castle. Tiny meows fill the air as if she’s counting along with 10k, they’re a match made in heaven.
It takes forever to think of a suitable name for the cat, everyone has an opinion. Vasquez wants to call it Killer, Murphy wants to call it Addison.
“I am NOT ginger, fuck off.”
“You look pretty ginger.”
“I’m a red head, you blue son of a bitch.”
Eventually 10k settles for Cassie.
Cassie trusts 10k with her life and doesn’t go near anyone else.
I LOVE 10K AND HIS PETS!
