Bartemus Steps Up to the Plate

Lyra gave the mouse a puzzled look.
“Who’s that?” she said, looking at Tanner and Bartemus. Tanner looked Lyra quickly and sputterd out “No one Lyra, just…no one”. He looked at the mouse angerly and then said “tell all your friends to come out, now”.
“O-o-of c-course”, the mouse said and then lifting up its shaking arm gave a little signal with his hand. Slowly at least a 100 mice came out of hiding. Tanner looked at them and gave them the same signal as the little mouse had. The mice looked at the cat quickly and then ran.
“Whose Lord Keter?”, Lyra said with a confused tone.
Bartemus snickered and then after a look from Tanner went to look for the pieces of Mr. wiggles.
“No one…”Tanner replied.
Lyra took a step, shaking she was so angry.
“I’M NOT GOING TO PUT UP WITH THIS ANYMORE !”, Lyra shouted.
Tanner looked shocked but Bartemus seized this moment to walk up to her, and place a paw on her shoulder. He dropped the pieces of Mr. wiggles and looked at her.
“I’ll tell you Lyra”, He said.
