Uh oh. It looks like Nighthowler has been spotted already! But what happens next? Welcome to the fifth part of a CYOA inspired by KitsuneYoukai, Firecat, and Rubber, where Judy Hopps adopts the alter ego Nighthowler to have some vigilante fun off the clock, and you decide how it goes!

"Though, maybe you could do with a short break?" The snow-white wildcat raises her frosty blue eyes and stares right at the spot Nighthowler is hiding! Carrots! There goes the element of surprise! "We have an interloper that needs dealing with." Her muzzle slowly turns up into a devious smirk. "Protecting trade secrets and all that~"
 
The three rats immediately drop their crate and spin around to face Nighthowler. Any hope of catching them off guard is lost! Nighthowler nimbly jumps out to challenge them, paws splashing on the damp concrete, warm mist rolling around her ankles. One on four, the odds certainly aren't in her favour, but they rarely are for a hero. She stands tall, ready for a battle, police badge gleaming in the cold warehouse light.
 
"You won't get away with this!" Nighthowler points her finger at the suspicious cat.
"Get away with what?~" The feline purrs, lashing her tail side to side. She tosses the condom like a coin, only to impale it on a single extended claw. "We are just harmlessly unloading goods. But you are spying, and in a disguise no less." The cat shakes her head. "Very suspicious."
 
Nighthowler's face reddens with embarrassment at her bungled surprise attack, but she can't let the cat's words get to her! Something is fishy about this situation, and she knows it; call it instinct! But if she's going to get to the bottom of this, it'll mean getting through those three rats!
 
[ 1 ] Keeping control of the situation is key! Maybe Nighthowler should try and seduce the excitable rodents to sway things in her favour? Maybe even turn them against their boss? [ Arousal increased for everybody! All sexual actions will be more effective! ]
 
[ 2 ] Focus down a single rat! Maybe Nighthowler can use her police training and lapine agility to whittle down the odds in her favour and turn a one on four into a one on three? [ The rats hold advantage! 33% of success ]
 
[ 3 ] Fight all three rats head-on! Nighthowler better defeat those henchmen quick else, White Claw might escape, but it won't be easy! [ The rats hold advantage! 15% chance of success! ]
 
[ 4 ] White Claw's demoralising words shake Nighthowler to the core! Is her instinct wrong? Is she doing the right thing? The delay means the rats attack first! [ Nighthowler's will to fight is reduced! ]

So, what do you think should happen next?
 
Our lustful lapine is in quite the sticky situation, and I've got the hunch most of you don't want it to end well for her~ Or do you? Comment with your vote, a suggestion, or a sordid desire. I'm running the same CYOA on FurAffinity, Inkbunny, and a CYOA Discord channel, so the votes you see here will not be the entire count.
