Tugger wrapped sharply on the Wheelers' front door, he just hoped Jerrie would be in already, he himself had come straight from the Fishbone. There was a creased copy of the Tribune in his paw.
It was Rumpelteazer who answered the door, looking slightly nervous at the force at which Tugger had knocked with, and visibly relaxing when she recognised the maned tom.
"Knockin' hard enough t'dent the door, y'made me think there was somethin' wrong."
Tugger shook his head, "I'm sorry, it's nothin' y'need t'be panicin' about, really. Is Jerrie back yet?"
Teazer stood back to let Tugger inside, shutting the door behind him. "What's goin' on?" she demanded, folding her arms across her chest. Tugger's words had done little to reassure her, her mind going quickly to the still in the basement, given that was where Tugger and Jerrie spent most of their time together. Frowning at him again, she called out, "Jer, Tugger's here!" her tone had just picked up a little of the urgency from his. "Now what is is?"
Tugger handed her the newspaper, "I'm guessin' y'ain't heard then, page five."

Jerrie came out of the front room, a look of confusion on his face. "Tugger? What're you doin' here?"

Teazer took the paper from Tugger and flicked to the page he'd mentioned, ears flicking as she read.
"Bought a paper on my way back from the docks..." Tugger inclined his head towards Rumpelteazer, figured you'd wanna know if you didn't already."
Teazer finished reading the article, and looked up, biting her lip. She handed the paper to her brother.

Jerrie frowned in confusion before taking the paper from his sister and skimming the page. His hazel eyes came up to look at Tugger. "You plannin' to go see him?"

Tugger almost snorted at that, "Of course." and then he was planning to have words with his brother, Macavity had told him Mistoffelees wouldn't be in any danger working for the Demoniaque. But even Tugger could see the significance of where Misto had been left after the beating.

"So why come here first? Why not catch a bus to th' hospital?"

"Cos I figured you might want t'know, if y'didn't already. Besides, I was on the bus home when I read it. Next one back don't go for an hour." a slight pause, and Tugger's ears flicked a lot, suggesting there was more to what he was saying, "Figured we could mebbe' go see him together if y'wanted."
Teazer had stood silent thoughout the exchange, finally, she made for the kitchen and setting the kettle on to boil, still biting her lip just a little.
((exit Teazer))

Jerrie considered for a moment, glancing in the direction of the kitchen. "Yeah, I think that'll work. I'll give y' a ride, but I gotta be back here in a bit, don't want t' be out too late."

Tugger nodded, "Thanks, I appreciate it. Wouldn't think they let visitors stay too late anyhow." he was glad he didn't have to let on his other reason for not going alone.

"Yeah." Jerrie turned toward the kitchen, calling down the hall. "Tea, I'm gonna go check on Misto, I'll be back in a while." He grabbed his coat and fedora, locating the truck keys.

Teazer stuck her head out of the kitchen doorway. "Alright, let me know how he is when y'get back an' send him my regards." she figured two visitors at a time would be enough for the black tom. "Take care."
Tugger was still wearing his coat so he simply turned towards the door, "Ready when you are." he turned towards the kitchen, "G'night Teazer."

Jerrie opened the door, stepping out. "Well, let's get goin' then."

"Goodnight, Tugger, Jer."
Tugger nodded, following Mungojerrie and shutting the door behind them.

Jerrie got the truck started, waiting for Tugger to get in before pulling out and heading toward the hospital.

Tugger was silent for a moment, but there was something pressing on his mind, so as usual, he spoke it. "I know the paper said 'suspected gang beatin' ' but y'don't think there's any chance he mighta' come in f'this for another reason?"
