DISCLAMER- I AM NOT MIATA, THE CHARACTER MIATA C.PAWZ IS COPY WRITE BY MIATA. THE CHARACTER KATAMANIA IS COPY WRITE BY KATAMANIA.
The phone hadn’t stopped ringing all week, my secretary, Polly, was doing a pretty good job, (for a pollicle) at keeping things under control. At the moment she was answering the phones, “ Miata C Pawz office, can you hold please? Miata C Pawz office, can you hold please? Miata C Pawz Private detective, can you hold please? Miat…”
“HEY be careful with that, that’s my new, $3000, lounge!! I swear you can’t trust removal men!!” At least my new office was bigger than the closet known as my old office. I wished Polly would unpack all my boxes, I needed to start working!
I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around, she was the classiest dame, I’ve seen in a long time.
* Here we go! * I thought, *how pathetic! *
“I’m Dame Dexia.” She said.
“Oh your Dame Dexia, good too know!” I said, she caught the sarcasm.
“Are you Miata C Pawz?” she asked.
“Well duh, look on the door! I mean, yeah.”
“Oh good I need you to take a case for me.”
“Well normally I would but I’ve just moved into the new office and…”
She waved a paw full of thousand dollar bills in my face,
“Oh well!” and started to put the money back in her purse.
“Hey I never said I WOULDN’T do it!” I said and snatched it away. She grinned.
We took a cab to her place, “178 Caviar road, thanks.” She said to the cab driver. Caviar road? Why did that name ring a bell? “So don’t dames like you usually go to small time MALE detectives? Why do you need me anyway, someone knock off your older hubby?”
“ Hey It’s the cliché’ but I choose the look I gotta live with it!!”
“ Um, yeah!”
“So how much do you charge?”
*Lets see, that was 20 thousand dollars she gave me, so that would be her life savings* I thought.
“ Usually I charge by the wee...” as we rounded to the end of Caviar road, I remembered why, it rang a bell; caviar road was like Hollywood, around here all the rich and famous lived here There was a huge mansion there, And not just any mansion the biggest one in the state!! It has its own, movie theatre, shopping centre, hospital and Olympic pool!!
“Here we are!” she said and paid the cabby, “sorry how do you charge?”
“By the minute!”
“WHAT?”
“I mean Hourly!”
“So, tell me again, why do you need my services?”
“Well I’ve been robbed!!” she said dramatically!
“Look I usually do bigger cases than a robbery, so…”
“The things stolen were worth $100 thousand dollars!”
“When can I start?”
Dexia led me through a long, long, looooooong hall to a bolted door with Pekes guarding it. “In here.” The room looked like the room in mission impossible, (the first movie) when he has to get the info from the computer; in fact it was almost EXACTLY the same, except there was no air duct to climb from.
“Wow!”
”The things stolen were my gold collar studded with diamonds and rubies, and matching wristbands!! Oh and a silver mirror, with rubies as roses, and emeralds as the leaves, all over it.”
“Ok, can I examine the safe?”
“Of course”
Dexia led me to the centre of the three rooms where the safe was. “Hmmm, no paw prints, fur, whiskers, nothing! Oh hang on, there is this chewing gum, on the inside roof of the safe.” I dug around in my bag and pulled out some tweezers, and pulled the gum off the safe.
“Oh that’s where that went, I’ve been looking for that!!” a voice said. I spun around standing there was a white cat, with black, yellow, orange, and brown patches. She had an evil grin.
“Kata!!” Dexia cried and practically flattened the cat called Kata, with a hug.
“Get Off me.” The cat said angrily, in a flat tone.
“Whoops sorry,” Dexia straightened herself up.
“Who’s the queen?” Kata asked.
“Oh sorry, Miata, this is my friend Katamania, Kata this is Miata C Paws.”
Kata rolled her eyes at Dex and turned to me,
“Pleased to meet you…. So your Miata C. Pawz the great detective.” Kata had a hint of sarcasm, in her voice. I got straight to the point,
“Well Katamania...”
“Kata”
“Kata, why is your * eww*chewing gum, in the safe?”
“Oh there’s no need to suspect Kata, Miata! She is the only other person, who comes in here! “
“My point precisely! No offence!”
“Non taken.” Kata said dismissively
“ Well… um… stop it!! Your making me think, no, I don’t like thinking it hurts my head!”
Kata and I rolled our eyes at the same time.
“Dex, how about we go into another room so that you can relax.” Kata suggested.
“Oh yes lets go into the ‘mirror room’” Dex said brightly and showed us to a dark room.
“Me and my big mouth.” Kata whispered.
Dex flipped a switch and the room was so bright that for a while I couldn’t see. Soon my eyes adjusted to the bright lights, I saw Kata with DARK sunglasses on and Dex sitting in the weirdest room I had ever seen. The whole room was covered from the walls to the ceiling with mirrors, Dex sat a very loooong bench that was covered with cosmetics and hair accessorises. Dexia started brushing her fur.
“Ok well Kata why was your chewing gum in the safe?” I asked.
“That? Oh well I’ve had that since I was a kitten, I blew the biggest bubble outta all my friends, so I kept it, Dex’s safe is the safest place, well was the safest place in the world!”
“You mean you’ve had that gum since you were a kitten? EWWWWW!! THAT’S GROSS!!”
“WHAT?”
I looked at my watch and noticed it was 7:30pm.
“@#$%^&*!! I’m sorry I have to go!” I said, glad to get out of that weird room.
A few days later, I was looking through my e-mail, when Polly rushed in.
“You’ll never believe this Miata!”
“Its Miss Pawz to you!”
“Oh yeah sorry, Miss Pawz, but you have a letter, on paper, in an envelope!!”
“You’re kidding? No one uses the post anymore!!”
“Well you got a letter!” Polly handed me a small white envelope, on the front was typed, with a typewriter, my address and name. *God this person must be in the dark ages! * I opened it up. The letter wasn’t a letter at all it was a ransom note!! “DUM DUM DUM!!!”
This is what it said:

*Oh great, now I have to save her if I want to get paid!* I thought. So it seemed it was time for me to go on one of my famous spy walks. As soon as I was out of my office I went into a phone box, and turned invisible, a power I inherited from my father.
When I got to Dex’s house, looked for a way in. there was no need to the front door was open. As I walked in a noticed the furniture was everywhere, obviously she had struggled, when the kidnapper had taken her.
I walked up the stairs, trying to find Dexia’s bedroom. It took me 15 minutes to find. God she has a big house! Dexia’s bedroom is quite nice, compared to some of the other rooms. She has a big screen TV, playstation, a fake fur rug and a HUGE bed. I started looking through her draws, you wouldn’t believe hew many pictures of toms she has!! There was nothing to tell me who, robbed her, or kidnapped her, though I was pretty sure it was the same villain. I went back downstairs and spied on the maids, and butler, they didn’t seem too distressed that their employer has been kidnapped.
“‘Tis a pity, ain’t it?’ Said one of the younger maids, “we always did thinks that she was trust worthy, never thought she’d do a thing like that!”
“Well what did you expect, she was always interested in Madam Dexia’s money and jewels.” The butler snapped. I wrote down on my little notebook:
BUTLER.
HAS BAD TEMPER. TOUCHY.
Another maid spoke up,
‘Leave ‘er alone, you’re just pissed because you didn’t get to do it first.”
The butler stomped of in a sulk.
*Hmm. The plot thickens. *
I walked into the main entertaining room. I still didn’t have enough evidence, to arrest anyone and it was already lunchtime! I sighed and leant against the mantle piece. Then wall swung around revealing a hidden passage way. I slapped my fore head, how obvious can you get? I walked down the passageway; it was dimly lit with a few candles, after ages the passageway split into three. I sniffed the air, yup there was no mistaking Dexia’s Chenelle3000 perfume! I kept going straight. It wasn’t long until I could hear her sobs.
“PLEASE, TELL ME WHAT DID I DO? IM SORRY!! HELP SOMEONE!! WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS? HEY? WHAT’S THAT IN YOUR HAND? NO PLEASE, IM TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DIE!”
I started to walk faster, I found Dex tied to a chair in an open area. There was a figure in a black hooded coat. The figure hissed,
“Look Dex I’m sick of you. If you were anymore annoying I would shoot myself! I stole you collar, wrist bands and mirror…”
“But why?” Dex whimpered.
“Why do ya reckon? For the money, my boss pays me very well for stuff like that! But anyway now I am going to kill you, see you in hell!!” The figure pulled out a gun and waved to Dex.
I ran over and kicked the villain in the back. She fell over; the gun flew out of her hands and into mine.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! GHOST!!!” Dex screamed.
I forgot I was still invisible; I made my self visible and walked over to the figure, who was now getting up, and pulled back the hood.
“KATA?!?!” Dex screamed.
“Shut up!”
“Katamania you are under arrest for the robbery of Dame Dexia’s jewellery and the kidnapping of Dame Dexia herself. Anything you say or do can be use against you in the court of law!”
“Does this mean I’m going to jail?” Kata asked.
“Probably!”
“WOOOO HOOOO!!! Now I can go see my friends!” I slapped the handcuffs on and lead Kata down the passageway.
“Umm guys do you think you could untie me? Guys? GUYS??”
THE END.
