Just before crashing through the gate, Shane opened her door and Mr. Jenks jumped into the car.

About one mile down the road, Shane high fived Mr. Jenks who was
standing on her shoulder. When Mr. Jenks turned to high five Alice.
Alice just looked at him as he stood there with his little hamster paw
in the air and said. “You’ve got to be kidding.”

Alice had Shane park at the back of the Hospital near the loading dock. “Boss I don’t understand why you want us to park here.”

Alice looked over at her sidekick or is that sidekicks, no it has to be
sidekick because no way would Alice consider a rat a sidekick. “Shane
did you not read the manual Basic Knowledge For Sidekicks. Everyone
knows that most Hospital’s Laundries and Morgues are near the loading
docks.”

Shane looked at Alice perplexed by this statement. Fairbanks was a
patient, she wasn’t died. Plus Shane didn’t need to have her laundry
done. “Boss, Fairbanks was shot in the shoulder, I doubt she died.”

Alice motioned for Shane to follow her. “Laundry, Shane, we need the
laundry. We’re not family, and with Fairbanks being a CIA agent, I’m
sure there will be other agents around so we need a cover.”

As she walked up beside Alice, she asked. “So Al, what’s our cover going to be?”

Alice turned to tell Shane her great plan when she noticed the
oversized mouse was sitting on Shane’s shoulder. “Shane go put that
hairball back in the car.”

Shane tried to explain to Alice. “But Boss he wants to help.”

“Squeakkkkkkkk! Squeak, squeak, squeakkkkkkk.” Replied Mr. Jenks.

Shane shock his head up and down agreeing strongly with Mr. Jenks. “Boss he can go undercover as a Lab Rat.”

Alice turned to Shane. “Shane put the cat toy back in the car. He can watch the car while we take care of business.”

As Alice and Shane walked toward the laundry, Alice just had to ask.
“Shane you do realize Mr. Jenks is a gerbil don’t you, and Mrs. Wiggle
is a car right?”

Shane looked over with anger in her eyes. “He’s a hamster, and you can pick your friends, and I’ll pick mine.”

While Alice was lost in thought about how she really needed to get her
friends some help or maybe just help her get laid, she didn’t notice
the suspicious woman entering into the hospital.
