Waitaminnit! They'd mentioned this Valdez guy! They'd probably follow him! He sounded like someone used to giving orders! It'd give these furry girls something to do, and get the onus of leadership off of Jim. Damn that Genevieve, anyhow!
"Valdez. We go for Valdez. Now get me out of here, and back to headquarters." Jim tried to sound imperious, but knew he was coming across like some cardboard actress.
The three looked at each other, confused. The vixen suddenly had a flash or realization, "OH! The storefront! Yeah, let's go there. We can get the cars and head out for the Fortress." The others nodded happily-an action that produced results Jim knew should have affected him, but didn't. Geez, shouldn't that much bouncing breast do something for a guy?
Jim spent most of the trip with his eyes closed as the three took him rappelling down the castle walls, zipping across lines on pulleys, leaping from rooftop to rooftop and finally entering a dress shop in the fashionable part of town. It was late enough that only a few people were still out. As soon as they entered, the three rescue members split into different parts of the store, leaving Jim standing there by the register.

The ewe pointed to the bottom tip, and muttered, "Ingenious. It's the single point of entry. We'll have some trouble getting in there."
Jim tried to look important and pored over the material, "All right. I see we'll need our full force to go in. We'd better get everyone together."
The three just stared at him, until the vixen spoke up with puzzlement in her voice, "Are you okay, Genevieve? We're it! You always said there weren't too many of us crazy enough to try to do these things."
Jim stared back for a moment before stammering, "Of course…of course…I forgot that Valdez wasn't here…." He went back to studying the map deeply, not understanding anything he was looking at. Finally he decided:
