Nighthowler creeps through the shadows, following the sound of muffled voices, shifting feet, and thumping boxes. She pauses at a corner and takes a deep breath before carefully peering around, trying to gauge what is going on. Information is a hero's greatest weapon, after all!
 
An unmarked black van sits parked outside the rear entrance of a small warehouse, cold light spilling through the open shutters and illuminating the misty alley. Three rats, almost as tall as Nighthowler, strain to unload heavy wooden crates out of the van. These guys are big for rodents! Bristling black fur, sharp chisel teeth, and twisty pink tails, they're exactly the sort to find skulking around in dark Downtown alleys. Scratches and scars line their fur, and one even has a beady eye covered over by a patch! They're all wearing dark clothing and certainly don't look like delivery men.
 
A slender white cat in a sleek black bodysuit perches idly atop an unloaded crate, overseeing the rather boring operation. Her perfectly groomed fur stands out from the dirt and grime; she's certainly no alley cat! The tight leather hugs every inch of her body but barely hides a single detail, nipples poking proudly from her perky breasts. Even her tail is covered, swishing slowly around the crate. She glances around with frosty blue eyes, scanning the gloom when not watching the fumbling rats.
 
"How come you gets to sit around doin' nuffin'?" One of the rats huffs, squinting up at her with beady black eyes.
"Because I'm in charge." The cat purrs, smirking. "The sooner you're finished, the sooner you can stop complaining."
 She rolls a purple foil square back and forth between two delicate fingers, a sample from an open box. Nighthowler quickly realises what it is. A condom!
 
Are they unloading cheap knockoff condoms to sell to unsuspecting stores?!
 
[ 1 ] It's time to leap into action! Best to get the drop on them before anyone has the chance to escape! (Nighthowler will have the advantage!
 
[ 2 ] Nighthowler has been spotted! All that squeaky rubber isn't as quiet as she thought it was, and that cat looks very perceptive! (White Claw and her rats get the advantage!)
 
[ 3 ] Jumping to conclusions isn't very heroic; they might just like doing business in dark, damp, shady alleyways! Maybe Nighthowler should step out and talk?

So, what should happen next? What's going to happen? Are things about to get saucy?~

Feel free to comment with your vote or a suggestion if you've got something else in mind that I could act on in future.  I'll be running the same CYOA on FurAffinity and Inkbunny and possibly in Discord servers too so the votes you see here may not be the entire count.
