Chapter 10: Cats and Mouse
In the cafeteria, after eating, Garfield was lying on the dining table with his bloated belly, his right hand on his stomach, and he was enjoying it with his eyes closed.
"Now, we can go back!" Phil, who had been silently staying next to him, came to the table.
"Wait, hiccup! I just finished eating, I don't want to exercise, I need to rest! Garfield hiccuped, his eyes too lazy to open, and said in a lazy tone.
Phil didn't say anything when he heard Garfield's words, his task these days was to stay by Garfield's side and never leave for a moment.
Garfield lay like this for more than an hour before slowly turning over and standing up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tongue deftly stretched out to lick his lips, as if he was savoring the deliciousness of his food.
"Are you rested?" Seeing Garfield staggering to his feet, Phil hurried over with a polite smile on his face.
"No, I'm hungry again! I want a piece of pasta! Garfield, who was still unsatisfied, raised his head with a longing look in his eyes.
Hearing Garfield's words, Phil's expression stiffened, an hour ago, Garfield had eaten 5 steaks, a plate of fried chicken, 3 fries, 2 Big Mac burgers, and a full-meat pizza, but now he was hungry again.
"Okay!" Phil's tone was very helpless, but he still turned around and ordered food for Garfield, after all, it was better to let him eat here than to let the fat cat go around causing trouble.
In this way, after about an hour, Garfield followed Phil out of the cafeteria, ready to see his room.
"I'll stay with you these days, so you live with me!" Phil, who walked in front, explained to Garfield behind him.
"I don't do it! I want a girl! Pretty big-breasted girl! You're so ugly that it will affect my sleep. Garfield, who was following Phil, protested dissatisfiedly.
Phil ignored Garfield's constant protests, and led the way with a calm face, but the bruises on his forehead showed the anger in his heart.
Following Phil, Garfield walked for a long time, this office building is too winding, and all kinds of prohibitions on approaching and prohibiting passage, Garfield feels that he is about to be dizzy.
As he and Phil walked around the Nth corner, Garfield suddenly screamed in horror, "Meow! ”
The frightened and miserable screams startled Phil, who was walking in front, and quickly turned to look at Garfield.
At this moment, Garfield was clutching tightly to the wall, because he was so hard that his limbs had already been caught in the wall, Garfield looked down with a horrified expression.
"Garfield, what's wrong with you?" Phil's tone was extremely helpless.
"Rats, rats!" Garfield said in a slightly trembling voice, holding out a finger to the shadow in the corner of the wall.
Following Garfield's direction, Phil saw a gray-black mouse in the corner, "Garfield, are you a cat?" ”
Faced with Phil's questioning, Garfield retorted indignantly, "What's wrong with the cat?" Cats can't be afraid of mice! Now this king commands you, lowly slave, to take away for me that filthy rat of evil deeds. ”
The corners of Phil's mouth twitched slightly, and the idea of killing the fat cat kept popping up in his heart, but considering the difference in strength between the enemy and me, and Nick's order, Phil endured it.
Looking at Garfield, who was clinging to the wall, Phil didn't take action, and it was rare to see this cheap cat eating deflated, which relieved Phil's depressed mood a lot.
Garfield, who was on the wall, looked at Phil, who was motionless, and shouted angrily, "Bastard! Have you not heard the king's commandment? ”
Seeing that Garfield was about to be embarrassed, Phil took action, only to see him quietly walk over and stomp on it violently, and the mouse instantly turned into a mass of flesh.
"Alright, the rat is dead!" Phil, who had finished dealing with the rats, looked up at Garfield.
"Whew!" Garfield breathed a sigh of relief and fell off the wall.
When Garfield was a child, when he was still in an orphanage, he was bitten hard when he was teasing a mouse out of curiosity, which left a shadow in his heart.
This also caused him to be very afraid and hate rats, which had nothing to do with race, nothing to do with strength, and pure mental illness.
Garfield, who fell, looked at Phil and forced a smile, knowing that he had lost face, "Listen, big forehead!" If anyone else knows about it, I'll make you bald completely! ”
In the face of Garfield's threat, Phil hurriedly raised his hand to signal that he would not talk nonsense, of course, it would be better if his face did not turn red from holding back laughter.
"Laugh what a laugh! Don't hurry up and lead the way, what kind of place are you, there are even rats! Garfield screamed angrily, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"Okay!" Phil couldn't help but laugh and quickly turned around and walked forward.
Garfield, who was following Phil, would have been as red as a monkey's butt if it weren't for the thick fur on his face, which was too embarrassing.
Because of this small episode, the relationship between Garfield and Phil has improved a lot, and Garfield, who followed Phil to the dormitory, felt panicked, and rarely did not make trouble, and as soon as he entered the dormitory, he lay on the sofa and closed his eyes to recuperate.
A few days later, in a small conference room, Nick was organizing a small meeting, which was attended only by some of Nick's cronies.
The main purpose of the meeting, of course, was how to deal with Garfield, and after dealing with the Council, the White House, Congress, the military and other major organizations one after another, Nick finally had a little free time and began to discuss the issue of Garfield.
The Statue of Liberty incident, because Garfield is extremely fast, except for inside S.H.I.E.L.D., other forces do not know the real murderer, but only determine that it is an inhuman unknown creature.
This makes Nick very happy, although he has been held accountable and provoked by various kinds of accountability, but at least Garfield's situation has not been fully exposed.
If those stupid politicians really knew about Garfield's situation, those idiots would definitely be tempted to do it, Garfield's magical and powerful abilities, whether used for research or as a weapon, are very tempting.
Those high-ranking politicians, who think they are powerful, once they make a move and provoke Garfield, then it will definitely cause a big war.
At that time, no matter who wins or loses, it will cause great turmoil, and even if Garfield wins, there may be a huge crisis in the United States, which is not what Nick wants to see.
Nick, who already had an idea in his mind, was not so much about holding a meeting to discuss how to deal with Garfield, but about conveying his thoughts and instructions.
The order is very simple, use gentle means to treat Garfield for the time being, try not to provoke Garfield, but at the same time hurry up to study Garfield, try to find his weaknesses, so as to create a weapon or plan that can control or defeat Garfield, and of course, the most important thing is to pay attention to secrecy!
Nick and the others, who were holding a meeting, stayed in a very private conference room far away from Garfield, but unfortunately Garfield's super eyesight was far beyond their imagination.
Garfield, who was in the dormitory, was watching Nick and them, listening to them talk about their plans for him, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
