Note: Cats become verbal at around 4 months. Though they learn, the most before 3 months a kitten can say is "yes" "no" and "mom/mommy".

RPG:
As they put away the food, the truck begins to rumble and rock from side to side until the roar of its engine starting is heard. At first there was joyful relief hearing the truck engine running again but then a sudden dread as they realize that none of the trusted adults is at the tractor’s cab and thoughts of someone stealing their truck fills their minds. Roze and Karol pull out their small firearms and make a mad dash to the cab of the truck.
Fernando is sitting in the driver’s seat with the door open as Hondo makes a few minor adjustments to the diesel ignition’s timing to smooth out the power output inside the engine bay.
“Don’t make a single move!” Karol yells out with her gun pointed at Fernando.
Fernando raises one hand and reaches over to turn off the engine. Hondo turns to Fernando about to ask why was the engine turned off but in turning to face him, he sees Roze in his peripherally with her gun aimed at him. He gives a very slight and noticeable nod to Fernando. Fernando slowly pulls out the key from the dashboard and shows it to Karol dangling from his fingers.
“Step out the truck, slow and easy like.” Karol tells Fernando.
Fernando slowly steps out of the cab, holding onto a climbing rail and set foot onto the step covering the fuel tank under it. Karol thinks she in charge as Fernando slowly steps out of the cab, and not expecting how fast he can move as she barely senses a dark blur of the truck’s keys slam against her forehead, knocking her unconscious.
Fernando somersaults to the ground with his gun drawn and aims it at Roze. “Don’t you #$@!ing move.”
She does not as Hondo slowly climbs down from the truck and walk to her. He walks up to her and takes her gun and shoves her to the front wheel well, “Hands on the fender where I can see’m, ma’am.”
A fast scratching of the floor can be heard with a feminized young male voice yelling, “Get’em Killer! Get’em!” Killer is a huge Great Dame – Bullmastiff mix, standing at almost 4ft at the shoulder, charging at full speed right at Fernando with jaws and teeth ready to treat him like a freshly killed wolf’s meal.
They did not expect for Fernando to move so fast, catching the mutt behind the jaw with a hard swatting slap that knocks the canine to the ground. It huddles as it tries to shake off the blow to his head and then growls at Fernando. Fernando growls at it much louder and more viciously than it ever could, making the dog run past its ‘owner’ and behind the rear trailer, whelping like some hurt puppy.
Fernando reaches into his pockets and tosses a pair of handcuffs at Hondo, “Cuff her, and cuff this one too. Try to be nice to people and they try to rob you, I swear. #$@!ing oldest set up in the book.” He then starts to head to the feminized male teen idiot who send the monstrous mutt at him, using his cane with each step to make is look like he is more frail than he is not though the witnessed fast moves he made makes his condition a lie.
Seeing Fernando trudge forward at him, the tarted up loli-boy stands there frozen for a moment before breaking out of his fear trance and runs to the rear of the trailer. Fernando makes his way there, looking at the shadows on the ground around the trailer. Seeing a couple of stretched out shadows on the ramp, Fernando stops at less than a forearm’s from the corner of the trailer, and crouches down, before rolling under the trailer to get to the other side quietly. He then steps around the other corner with his gun raised and aimed.
“Put the #$@!ing weapons down before you get hurt.” Fernando tells the three that was there on the ramp. They turn around, wondering how he got the jump on them from behind, and then do as he says. “Now step off the ramp, take ten more steps and lay down on the ground.” Fernando tells them. They do as he says.
“I think is a misunderstanding, Fernando.” Moro says from behind.
“Then you go in and get the others out with their hands up and pray that they do not shoot you first.” Fernando tells her, stepping back for her to walk by him.
"I have another idea." Moro walks to the front of the truck were the two ladies are handcuffed by to the fender [I assume they are handcuffed to the fender]. "Why did you two pull a gun on Fernando and Hondo?"
Roze answers since she's not the one struck in the head with a set of keys. "Don't play dumb with me, Wolf. They were attempting to steal the truck."
"How does someone steal a truck while working on the engine?" Moro asks. "The engine needs to be running for Hondo to tune it. I swear. First Fernando a few days ago and now you guys. Everyone wants to shoot first and ask questions later. I'm sorry that we messed up your war. If we had known all this would happen, we would have sat back and let you humans kill each other."
Moro goes to the main trailer and opens the door. She is greeted with guns pointed at her. Moro raises her hands.
The girls feel a vibration as the screws and bolts seemingly turn on their own and fall out. With nothing to hold them together, pieces of the guns fall to the floor. It's worse than that. All the gun parts are mixed together. It's like emptying several boxes of puzzles into one pile and telling them to put those puzzles together.
One of the girls grabs a cast iron skillet and gets into position to bat. "Disassemble this!"
Moro ducks as the trailer door slams on the girl getting ready to play ball with a skillet.
That did not go over very well though the door helped.
To get Moro, they need to stay away from anything mechanical . . . including door hinges. Another dog, a German Sheppard/Huskie/Wolf mix, comes charging at Moro. For the first time since she has been with the party, Moro transforms into her wolf form. Growling, she goes on the offense by digging her teeth under the jaw of the husky/wolf. Moro does not let go of her grip as the two wrestle on the ground. Moro draws blood as she is now on top of the husky/wolf. She also has her eyes on the trailer and her ears perked up, listening for the cocking of a gun or anything that may be approaching her.
A gunshot is fired, Fernando released a warning shot into the skies above. Moro, not seeing where that shot came from as Fernando was behind her lets go of the dog and jumps back away from it to see who fires that shot. She sees Fernando with his arm in the air, lowering it.
“I don’t take a life for sport or anger, neither will you, Moro.” Fernando tells the wolf, as he points to the dog lying helplessly on the ground.
Moro changes back to human-like form and then nods at him. Fernando bends down to pick up his spent shell casing and then walks to rear of the trailer.
“You five get up and walk to the cab and sit down on the ground with the women there.” Fernando orders them.
The pretty boys look at each other and then glance over to the open trailer before doing as Fernando said.
Fernando then knocks on the trailer’s side and yelling, “You too Wilma.” Wilma steps out from the rear. Fernando tells her, “Take that over-grown puppy hiding in there with you.” Wilma steps in the trailer for a moment and then comes out, struggling with a leach on pulling a scared mutt into the open. It takes her a while but she gets the dog to the front with the others where Hondo tells them where to sit. Fernando steps to Moro and tells her, Go in and in Karl’s truck and bring what rope you find to the front to tie up the others.
“What are you going to do with them?” Moro asks.
“The choice is clear – what does one do with criminals that tried to hurt and rob you?” Fernando states in question.
“You are not going to abandon them out here, are you? They will not survive the night without their truck.” Moro says.
“Don’t ask me if I care, Moro. Go get that rope like I requested.” Fernando tells her. He then walks over to first trailer and opens the door but not stands in front of it before yelling inside, “Everybody inside, we are armed and in control. You are to come out one at a time and walk to the front of the truck where you will be told to sit down. There better be twenty of you, I will be counting.”
The girls one at a time come out in various modes of dress, but mostly covered up in what they were wearing. They all look at the dog lying motionless on the ground and try to hold back their tears as they think the worst has happened. Moro takes what rope she has found and uses then to tie up the younger set in a long chain-gang fashion.
The last twentieth girl steps out of the trailer and sees the dog lying motionless on the ground, tries to go for it, “No, Bruno!” Fernando steps in her way, though she tries to get around him, “Get out of my way!” Fernando steps in her way and points in the way she is to go to but she tries to strike him. He blocks her blow and back-hand slaps her hard enough to knock her to the ground. The eighteenth and nineteenth girls runs back to help her, but Fernando has his gun aimed, forcing them to slow their pace. They get to the girl who is crying on the ground and huddle to comfort her. One of them looks up at Fernando, “I hope you rot in hell.”
“Been there and got kicked out for trying to take it over. Now get your friend with the others before I stop being nice.” Fernando tells her.
Reluctantly they get up and walk away with one of them saying, “Come on, Lisa. We do as they say and maybe they won’t will us.” It took longer than necessary for them to take the girls.
With the girls out of the way, Fernando walks into the rear trailer and inspects the area. Putting away his firearm, he thinks, “Lisa...” Then he realizes who “Lisa” is, and her dog too. Trying not to let his thoughts distract him, he takes his cane and twists the crystal on it like a safe’s dial before tapping it on the ground. The dog disappears from outside and appears inside the trailer. “Consider yourself lucky, dog. In my time any animal caught outside the lunatic fringe having sex with its human master is usually put out of its misery. But that is not my place to judge those in the lunatic fringe unless you put your filthy penis into my girl’s vagina, then I will kill you.” He then ties up its collar to a leash tied a bar on the wall. He then goes to the trailer’s side door and locks it. He steps out from the rear and heads to the cab where Hondo and the others are at.
Moro asks, “What are you going to do with them?”
Fernando stares down at Killer, making him to look away in submission. “Hondo. Take this mutt and tie him up in the rear trailer and then put Karl’s SUV in there while I figure out what to do with them.”
Hondo gives a single nod before taking the dog’s leash. Killer was difficult to comply, needing to be dragged most of the way. After securing the dog in the rear trailer, Hondo gets into Karl’s SUV and drives into the rear trailer. After securing the rear trailer doors, Hondo heads back to the trailer’s cab where Fernando and Moro were with the others.
“Done.” Hondo tells them.
Moro asks again, “What are you going to do with them?”
Fernando palms the crystal of his cane and twists it, before telling her, “Sleep.”
Moro collapses softly to the ground as do the others. Hondo looks around at the night sky and then Fernando and his watch, seeing that some 6 hours have gone past in less than a syllable’s breath. With another twist of the crystal on the cane, Fernando teleports everyone into the rear trailer.
“Let’s go.” Fernando says as he closes the hood on the tractor, “We will deal with this shit in the morning.”
Getting into the cab, Fernando turns on the engine and begins to pull the tractor trailer out of the hole it was in and then down the highway.
“I’m going to teleport this bad bay 10 miles out of town and you will call Valentine and have Jason arrested and detained until we get there. There are too many unanswered questions here we need answered before I send them to General Jastrey’s jail cells.
“I’m sensin’ sumthin’ funny here too.” Hondo says.
“We, make that I, may have a problem.” Fernando says.
“How so?” Hondo asks.
“Before we met up, I rescued Macey from a whorehouse. In that whore house they had this girl I seen getting bonked over a large dog in front of bunch of naked men whacking off to the scene of her in ‘Puppy Love’. Macey told me that if I did not rescue her, she would have been ‘trained’ to be bonked over by that dog, taught by its owner. As is according to her, the three of them are friendly to each other as they know each other. Both that dog and the girl are in this group.” Fernando explains.
“That scaredy-cat puppy I drugged back to the trailer?” Hondo asks.
“The other one that Moro almost killed. He was lying on the floor of that trailer before I came to you.” Fernando explains.
“He seemed fine to me, sittin’ there lappin’ up his empty food bowl.” Hondo says. He then continues after a pause, “I’ll shoot that mutt if it gets too close to your girl.”
“Thanks. But no, I will need to think some things out.” Fernando says.
“You’re not thinkin’ about lettin’ that mutt bonk your little girl?!!” Hondo asks.
“Oh hell no. I’ll kill that mutt if he or the other sniffs my girl’s crotch. No, I mean, Macey knows them, and maybe one or two others here. She is going to want answers and want them free of trouble and possibly travel with us.” Fernando says.
“I see how that can be a problem.” Hondo says.
“Don’t you know it.” Fernando replies.
“What about the other mutt?” Hondo asks.
“Don’t know though I bet it’s the same with him too, you know how things are at in the Lunatic Fringe.” Fernando says.
“Yeah, everythin’s loony and laws do not apply.” Hondo says.
“You know it.” Fernando says to him, “You ready to fly yet?”
“Ready when you are.” Hondo replies.
“Alright, hold onto your hat. Here we go...” Fernando says as he twists the crystal on his cane before a portal opens up in front of the truck and they drive through it to the other side that is 10 miles away from their starting city.
“Go call up Val and get then to arrest Jason.” Fernando says”
Hondo gets the CB Radio and calls to Val, explaining what had happened, not what was discussed, and telling her to get Jason arrested and detailed as quietly as possible.
