Redhawk Caldera Put it in reverse, Terry!

Unfortunately for Fennec, Killer was not deaf, not blind, and not very inclined to mind his mother. Where there was "stay," he heard GO, especially given the scream that rattled the air, which sounded like—

OHH-EEEEE! the boy shrieked, bursting out of the brush behind Fennec in a grand imitation of an air-raid siren. Which then quickly evolved into a miniature lawnmower, as he spotted the stranger that had rounded upon his grandmother, and which his mother was now attacking, and, what—?

All his chocolate-and-vanilla fur bristled up as he placed himself between Towhee and the unfamiliar woman, emitting a small but fierce RRRRRRRRRRRR and staring up at her menacingly. 

He may not be any help to this situation in actuality, but within his own mind, Killdeer was the hero of the day, here to back up his Mom and save his Oh-ee from baddies. His growing tail thrashed, ears pinned back, lips revealing gleaming milk teeth.
