Tom ran into Barb’s bedroom to see her standing on top of her bed, pointing frantically at the corner.
”There! It’s over there in the corner, behind the hamper!” Barb exclaimed.
Tom crept over slowly to the hamper, and peeked behind it to see what was really causing the commotion. It was a small garden mouse that had somehow managed to get trapped in her apartment.
“Barb it’s just a baby mouse. I don’t see what all the fuss is about.” Tom said as he tried to calm her down.
”Kill it! Get it out! I don’t care what you do, just get rid of it!!!” she continued.
Tom grabbed a dirty towel from the hamper, and hovered over the mouse. “C’mere little guy, I just want to get you outta here.”
Oddly enough, as Tom got closer to the mouse, it inches towards him, and practically jumped into the towel. It was a bit weird, but Tom just blames it on dumb luck.
He stepped outside with it, grabbed the mouse, and placed it on a tree branch that was near the railing of Barb’s apartment. After Tom placed the mouse on the tree, it simple just sat there and stared at him, like it was expecting something.
“Go on little guy, scat!” Tom said, making brushing movements with his hands so the mouse would run away.
Tom re-entered the apartment, and seen Barb standing in the living room, waiting on the verdict of what he did with the mouse.
“Did you kill it? It’s out of my apartment now right?” she said, somewhat frantically.
“No, but he’s free outside. He shouldn’t be coming back” Tom reassured her.
Barb practically jumped into Tom, hugging him as tight as she could. It was a bit odd, because while Barb did have a vice grip on him, it felt nice because her chest served as a nice cushion as she pulled him tighter to her.
“Oh Tom! How could I ever repay you?” Barb exclaimed.
