Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3 'I cannot believe that Larry is your boss, said Silver excitedly as the cats headed down the leafy crescent where they lived, towards the animal tube that would take them into central London. 'He's soooo cool. Do you think he likes me?' he added. 'When we met him before I think he sort of thought I was a ninja too, right? I mean, it's understandable, I do
