The three of us began brainstorming ideas for our secret handshake, until we were interrupted by another voice.
"Can I join your gang, too?" said Bella, her voice pleading.
Collins and Clinton exchanged a look, their expressions unreadable.
"Sorry, Bella sis, but this is just for us three", Collins replied, his tone apologetic.
Bella's face fell, fake disappointment written all over it.
"But why not?" she asked, her voice small.
"You're our sister, but we want to have something special that's just for the three of us", Clinton went on to explain.
Bella wasn't deterred, so she continued to beg and plead with this two baby rats.
Finally, they relented, but on one condition.
"You can join our gang," Collins said.
"But you have to pay the price of admission", he concluded.
Bella
