I picked up the office bottle to pour myself another three fingers of warm amber oblivion-- But it was recently demised...

Fortunately I knew where Sham kept his emergency cache, and if this wasn’t an emergency, it’d do until the real thing came along... I slid open the secret panel, twirled the combination lock - Left - Right - Left again - Stop... when it didn’t work, I rapped hard and the door popped open - But when I reached deep into the safe to grab the emergency bottle, I found a family of mice living inside it...

Never one to be a home-wrecker, I quietly slipped the bottle back and closed the panel...

Oh Well... Might as well follow up on the Kitten...
