chapter 3 of it's like this cat this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by bologna times it's like this cat by emily chaney neville chapter 3 cat and coney nick and i have been friends pretty much since i can remember our mothers used to trade turns fetching us from kindergarten nick lives around the corner on third avenue upstairs from the grocery store his old man runs if anyone asked me how come we're friends i couldn't exactly say we're just together most of the time neither of us is a real whiz at sports but we used to roller skate and play a little king and stick ball and ride our bikes around exploring one time when we were about 10 we rode way over to 12th avenue at the hudson river where the queen mary docks this is about the only time i remember my mom getting really angry she said pop ought to take my bike away from me and he did but only for about a week nick and i still ride bikes a lot otherwise we sit and do our homework or play chess and listen to records another reason we're friends is because of this creepy little kid who lived down toward the corner between me and nick he always tagged along wanting to play with us and of course in the end he always fouled up the game or fell down and started to cry then his big brother came rushing out usually with another big guy along and they figured they were entitled to beat us up for hurting little joey after a while it looked to me as if joey just worked as a lookout and the minute me or nick showed up on the block one of the big guys came to run us off they did little things like throwing sticks into our bike spokes and pretending it was just a joke nick and i used to plot all kinds of ways to get even with them but in the end we mostly decided it was easier to walk around the block the long way to get to each other's houses i'm not much on fighting and neither is nick especially not with guys bigger than us summers up in the country the kids seem to be all the time wrestling and punching half for fun and half not if i walk past some strange kid my age up there he almost always tries to get me into a fight i don't get it maybe it's because sidewalks are uncomfortable for fighting but we just don't do much scrapping for fun the only couple of fights i have ever had i was real mad come spring nick and i got restless hanging around the street with nothing to do but stickball and baiting the super at 46. it was so easy to get him sore it wasn't even fun cat stayed out of that basement but i wanted to get him really out in the open where he could chase squirrels or something one day we rode our bikes up to central park i put cat in a wicker hamper and tied it on the back of my bike he meowed a lot and people on the street would look at me and then do a double take when they heard him we got up to central park and into a place they call the horseshoe because the parking area is that shape i opened the lid a crack to look at cat he hissed at me the first time he ever did i looked around and thought gee if i let him loose he could go anywhere even over into the woods and i might never catch him there were a lot of hoodie looking kids around and i could see if i ever left my bike a second to chase cat they'd snatch the bike so i didn't let cat out and i wolfed my sandwich and we went home nick was pretty disgusted then we hit a hot saturday and the first one in may and i get an idea i find nick and say let's put cat and some sandwiches in the basket and hop on the subway out to coney nick says why bring cat he wrecked the last expedition i like to take him places and this won't be like central park no one's at coney this time of year he can chase around on the beach and hunt sand crabs why do i have to have a nut for a friend nick moans well anyway i'm keeping my...

now what scotty suggested substitute letters for the numbers that would make it dc i i f ic that doesn't mean anything maybe you counted the wrong way barbie said thoughtfully count down the columns instead of a cross rick did so that's 8 3 3 seven three seven three substitute and it comes out let's see h c c g c g c nothing there either scottie had a pad of paper and a pencil and was making idle doodles i'm trying to recall when did chada learn anything about codes rickpop for a moment he never did that i know of he said finally barbie stood up well i'm going to shower and change before dinner she announced but i'll keep thinking i have an idea that talking about it won't help much if dad and rick are right about his using a code we are sure to know it must be staring us in the face and we're too blind to see it good idea rick agreed let's break this up and each think about it if we search our memories maybe we'll come up with a clue barbie went upstairs and scotty retired to his favorite seat on the porch but rick felt that he could think better on his feet a glance at his watch told him he had...
