Willow settles down wiff a nice cuppa tee and a pwate ob cookies. Hur reads da title ob da book in hur lap, "Murder in da Arctic". "Oh", hur meows softly to hurself, "dis gonna be a dood story!" Hur opens to chapter one and begins to reed...

Da ship SS FeeLine was making good progwess. Wiff a crew ob 18, dey had left Barrow on da Norf Slope ob Alasky 3 days earlier and were due to reech da point where dey wood leef da ship and do sum eggsploring on da Arctic continent fur a few days. Captain Larry was da mostest eggsperienced pilot awound and efuryone felt safe unner hims command.
Suddenly, Furst Mate Caleb came running up da stairs and into da bridge. "Cap'n Larry, Cap'n Larry, I fink yu bedder come rite away, dere a fight happening in da gallery!" Da two kits race back down da stairs and into da gallery. Dere dey see two kits glaring at eech ofur, hissing, dere ears flat and claws extended! Dey were da too kits dat had been hired on at Barrow as eggstwa help fur da eggspedition pardee. "I did not take yur fambly heirloom toy mousie!" da furst kit meowed. "Yes yu did," da ofur one spat back, "yu were da only one dat knew I bwought it wiff me!"
Cap'n Larry intervened, "Com'on yu two, calm down. We'll conduct a search and I'm sure we'll be able to find it." Da second kit meowed, "We bedder find it, or dere gonna be trubble! Dat mousie is veby speshul to me, it was inherited frum my gweat gwandpakit."

Tarrigo perks up his ears (well, one ear anyway, the other ear doesn't stand up.)
"I am needed!" He runs as fast as his swift little pawkies will go, up to the pool deck of the ship and checks on Belle. He listens to her heart, her lungs, checks her flippers, scrapes off some barnacles and scratches her back.
"Her is in tip top shapes, Fwanci. What's up?"
"Oh, her gonna haff a baby beluga soon."

Tarrigo pulls on his Forensic Gloves and begins his examination of the artifact. He turns it, listens to it, sniffs it, and finally realizes that the O in Nevermore is a keyhole.
"Otay, all. We needs a berry tiny key! We also needs to find out why dis big crow haffs Nevermore engwafed on it."
