Time to flee! I sure wouldn’t want to be the one putting that hyena into a “traveling case.” I still think a train chase might be fun. We will see. (The cops aren’t as naive as the siblings hope.)
A demonic silhouette with yellow eyesA quick snap of the jaws and Sprocket diesA barefoot villain with a coffee house lookSuch a grisly end for even this lowlife crookSlavering, the beast makes a leapAnd Sprocket collapses in a bloody heapRending and tearing, the beast begins to feedComeuppance it seems, for her dastardly deedsDo not weep for her, she would not for youHer life of crime, now she must rueOh, if only she could have seenThe glorious life for her that might have beenBut she chose to follow her murderous brotherFrom one nefarious scheme to anotherNow she reflects, she cannot even shoutFor that’s impossible to do with your throat ripped out.
Lena should never have been allowed to sample human flesh….wanna bet those bare feet (perhaps a cut or something on them) were emphasized before for a purpose?
Even if Sprocket survives the packing scene, things are not looking rosy for the siblings. No cash, no ally, the police on their trail—this con is a bust!
Lena sighed as she lifted herself up From her very small hay filled cage,It took every ounce of inner strength To withhold all of her pent-up rage.Her yellow eyes glared at the sight of this chickJust the thought of her made Lena immensely sick.“All they ever ask me to doIs grab an arm and begin to chew”.“I really wish they’d understand, I have a dream, I have a plan.”Lena knew right from the startShe was different from others She was born with a heart.She wanted to give up ever having to eat,Anything alive or any type of meat. “A vegetarian is all I ever want to be,But they keep tossing in more flesh,There’s no end in sight for me.”
Congrats to all the poets this morning! (Awaiting Pequod77’s entry). Good ol’ Nitrate was concerned about Lena’s health if she were to eat Miles, had he been poisoned. Wait ’till he sees Lena after she eats that barefoot skunk! He had better invest his money on a veterinarian than a train ticket!
I don’t get this . . . it seems that Nitrate is pleased with the way things are going, but why? He is leaving without one cent of the money he originally hoped to get from Vitamin. And he is now just one jump ahead of the law. He’s committed a murder with absolutely no gain. Total bust.

I wonder….I’m betting on Lena deciding she’s had enough of cages.

It almost looks like a set up for Sprocket to be Lena’s next meal. By accident of course.

Lena looks menacing in the last panel. Beware, Sprocket!
