A delivery van pulled away from Ms. Schweinbein’s home just as Squirrel Girl arrived. Ms. Schweinbein was dragging several large boxes from her porch into the house.

Several large, suspicious boxes. And they seemed even more suspicious when Ms. Schweinbein looked around suspiciously before shutting the door.

Tippy-Toe climbed up the trunk of the tree in two leaps, landed on a branch in front of Squirrel Girl, and stared at her, inches from her face. With two claws she pointed to her own black, blinkless eyes.

“Yes, I see you, Tip,” said Squirrel Girl.

“Chkt-chuk,” Tippy-Toe said.

“Yes, I can see the rage in your black, blinkless eyes, Tip. And I thank you for being on my side. But before we attack, we should try the talking thing with Ms. Schweinbein, too…I guess.”

Tippy-Toe twitched her tail and let out a stream of chittering that roughly translated to If any more of those weevil-brained dog-men or cat-ladies are in there I am going to personally bite off every one of their toes.

“Whoa! Dial it back a little, Tip,” Squirrel Girl said. “I know you’re upset at having your territory invaded by villainous animal-humans, but I don’t think things are so bad that we need to start eating people.”

“Chkka.”

“Or biting off body parts. Same difference.”

Squirrel Girl and girl squirrel stared at the house.

“Maybe I could just go knock,” Squirrel Girl said. “That worked before.”

Tippy-Toe sniffed. The last time Squirrel Girl had just knocked on the door of someone she thought was a bad guy, evil robot people had answered. That unexpected encounter had ended in a big fight involving crashing trees, totaled cars, and terrified neighbors.

“Okay, so maybe that last time wasn’t ideal,” she said. “But we did end up stopping the bad guys.”

“Chukka.”

“Let’s just go take a closer look.”

Tippy-Toe and Squirrel Girl tipped on their toes across the street and to Ms. Schweinbein’s house. Something in the basement squealed. Squirrel Girl peeked into a window well. The basement windows had been covered over with newspaper.

“She’s definitely hiding something,” Squirrel Girl whispered.

Ms. Schweinbein’s neighbors switched on their porch light, bathing Squirrel Girl in a yellow glow. She scampered to the roof just as a woman opened the porch door and came out carrying a full garbage bag.

A voice from inside the neighbor’s house said, “How’s the stench house tonight?”

The neighbor woman groaned, looked at Schweinbein’s house, and shook her head.

“Still smells like a zoo,” she replied, “but at least the wind isn’t blowing our way.”

The neighbor went back inside and shut the door. The outside light turned off.

“Ugh,” Squirrel Girl whispered. “I hate sneaking around. I’m the good guy. I’m not supposed to sneak.”

Tippy-Toe sniffed again and twitched her tail.

“You are so one of the good guys, Tippy,” she said. “You just do your thing, and if people don’t notice you, that’s on them for being supremely unobservant of the great furry ones.”

Tippy-Toe scampered to the chimney, held up a paw, and motioned Squirrel Girl closer. Squirrel Girl knelt to listen. From the chimney came a muffled voice, full of echoes but still very familiar: Ms.
