The Fugitive

Two work-related e-mails received today


First one:

"Attention everyone,

We have a hamster who broke out of his cage and is on the loose. He was in his cage at bed check last night and must have escaped sometime overnight. A hamster traveling on foot with a time frame of approximately 8 hours travel time could be anywhere in the building by now, but will probably be seen at his favorite haunts, either behind a refrigerator or in a cupboard somewhere. Please use caution in trapping or detaining him, he may poop on you if spooked. This is not a joke. If you see said hamster, please notify the vet tech department immediately for recapture."



Which was followed by the following a couple of hour later:



"This is not a joke - the hamster is still on the loose.

After close observation of the pocket pets room, some droppings were discovered by the dirty laundry. We thought for a minute that we were on hot on the unidentified hamster's trail until one of the vet techs pointed out that the droppings were that of a rabbit and too large to come from a hamster. All the same, we searched the nearby laundry to make sure he wasn't trying to escape in the laundry basket (I've seen other escapees do this in movies).

Additional information regarding the hamster whereabouts is still needed. He is described as being small and brown. Again I would caution you that any sudden movements may cause him to poop unnecessarily so caution is recommended. We want to take him alive, so please watch where you step."



Many Many hours later and there has been no further updates.

Run, Sprinkles, RUN!!!
