The Mr. Chirpy Caper

Now the story can be told!  The past few days have been busy for the Feline Bureau of Investigation’s Agents 00.5 Kozmo and 00.8 Sammy.  Here’s the scoop according to Sam!

“After getting word from Kozmo, Agent 00.5, requesting my help with the Mr. Chirpy Caper, I packed my bag and high-tailed it to the local airport where the FBI private jet awaited me on the tarmac.

After I boarded, I had time to reflect on how I would tackle this request from Kozmo……my mission was to try to determine from an informant on the Japanese Island of Cats, whether or not Mr. Chirpy had been in contact with the most evil Iki-Ryo to coordinate some kind of horrible cyber attack on the world. At least I had a mighty nice environment in which to THINK….the FBI private jet was quite comfy!

Talk about traveling in style huh???

I sent a quick text message to Kozmo just to let him know I was on board and on my way. I’d already arranged to get from Tokyo to the Japanese Cat Island via a small private plane which would drop me over the island and allow me to hang-glide down to meet with the FBI informant.

After a long trip to Tokyo and the quick trip from there to the island, I jumped out of the plane with my hang-glider and made my way downward to land in an open field on cat island.

 

Wheeeee!

 After I landed and consulted my hand-held, FBI issued GPS locator, I found the spot where I was to meet my informant at Coffee, Tea or Meow Café – a local and very popular cat café. My informant would be easy to spot…..he had a distinctive look:

When I entered the café, there were quite a few other cats around but there was no mistaking the face of my informant and after an initial greeting we headed to a private meeting room in back away from the crowd.

 

Whatta joint.....a guy could "blend" right in with this bunch!

 

 

　

My informant said after careful and intense monitoring of communications between the evil Iki-Ryo in Japan and Mr. Chirpy, it had been determined that as of my visit, the dreaded bird flu internet virus attack had NOT yet been set in motion. That meant Kozmo and I still had time to STOP the internet attack. He also gave me the last known location of Iki-Ryo, which was, in fact, right there on Japanese Cat Island.

I left the café and made my way down the busy streets to Iki-Ryo’s hideout. When I arrived I found the entrance guarded by Iki-Ryo’s “goon squad” – a group of tough looking cats.

Tough guys....the protection squad!

But I had a plan……I stepped around the corner and asked a local fisherman if he’d toss a few fish out on the pavement just close enough to this group of guards so they’d leave their station long enough for me to enter and confront Iki-Ryo.   It worked! 

Imagine my surprise when I made my way under the guarded door into a dark warehouse and saw this face!

The Evil Iki-Ryo !

 

 

Iki-Ryo was a very black cat – so inky that I could barely see him although his eyes appeared to stare right through me. He made it clear that I had no business coming into his lair…I told him I was a computer repair cat from the main island and I was there to work on his internet connection due to some problems on the island that users had been experiencing. He just told me in surprisingly good English, “Whatever….I’m too busy to follow you around…..go ahead and do whatever you’re here to do then GET OUT!”

I couldn’t believe he’d just let me into his computer room, yet he had and I quickly used my top secret FBI provided software to get into his files and scan for any communications involving Mr. Chirpy. There had been ONE email…..it had been sent just the day before…..Iki-Ryo was telling Mr. Chirpy that he’d sent by special courier a flash drive to Mr. Chirpy’s home in London that would be awaiting him on his return…..that as soon as Mr. Chirpy installed the flash drive the deadly computer virus would take effect and disrupt communications worldwide!! This is what the FBI had feared……and it was imperative that Kozmo and I shut down Mr. Chirpy on his return from London and intercept the flash drive!

Innocent looking flash drive carrying the evil virus!

I very quickly contacted Kozmo and determined that Mr. Chirpy was in fact making his move back to London and Kozmo felt confident that he and I could make it back before Mr. Chirpy as our fabulously expensive and powerful FBI jet was capable of making the trip to London well ahead of Mr. Chirpy’s rickety old jet.  I received this coded message from Kozmo confirming Mr. Chirpy’s destination!

Kozmo was touching down briefly in Tokyo to pick me up and we were headed to London lickety-split (and fast too…..).  

I was ready to hop on board as the FBI jet cruised to a landing in a secluded area of the airport in Tokyo and I quickly boarded and made myself comfortable at last as Kozmo and I caught up and enjoyed a “niptini” together (shaken…not stirred).

A much earned break as we speed to London to intercept Chirpy!

I know by now you’re anxious to hear how this caper continued as Kozmo and I caught up, and made our way to capture Mr. Chirpy and intercept the deadly flash drive package before it got to London SOOOOOOOO, to get the rest of the “scoop”, just visit Kozmo’s blog at CAT FROM HELL and hear how this incredible caper continues………………!
