Liberty Police, Inc. Reporting Office

A package arrives at the LPI office, a medium sized box with a small hole and a card on it. It is dropped unceremoniously in a corner, as an assortment of people and officers alike rush along doing whatever they have to do, ignoring the mysterious box. At some point a certain curious mewling is heard coming from the box. Slowly people start to notice, glancing at it suspiciously from the corners of their eyes.
An officer finally approaches the box and squats down to read the card, hoping it will give some clue as to what is in it.

He reads it aloud to the others who have gathered about him out of curiosity.

Dear Marx,

Thank you for the kind offer to help me out on this new adventure of mine. I promise to keep in touch, but for now here's a little gift to keep you company. I know working with men can get you stressed sometimes, and you have not yet fully recovered from your surgery so..I hope she helps in some way.

Yours truly,
Cassie

The officer peeks into the hole as others crowd in to do so too and he shoulders them away impatiently.

What little light does get through the small hole shines onto two huge sparkling green eyes and an adorable face of a black kitten with white markings, its ears bent backwards, mewling pitifully.

Overcome by its cuteness the officer sticks his hand in, his eyebrows high on his forehead, exclaiming "aaaaawww"

Too little too late realizing his foolish mistake he withdraws his scratched and bitten hand sharply as a loud "YOOOOWWWCH!!" resounds throughout the whole department , work stops and head turns as everyone stands still for a second of silence honoring their stupid, injured fellow officer before the inevitable laughs and chuckles ensue.
