Jason, the large anthro ferret leaned against the wall of an alleyway, picking at his claws with a small utility knife. It was a dark moonless night, just how the ferret liked. Standing at a formidable 6'6'' with an extra three feet of tail extending beyond his feet, the ferret had quite and intimidating presence. His natural mask of fur just added to the effect. His ears perked up as he heard the slight sound of footsteps approaching on the sidewalk. He kept his place, concealed by the shadows. Who could this be? It was dead quiet except for the footsteps and the soft beat of the ferret's heart.
