-Y/N's pov-

My eyes scanned over the paper for the hundredth time

'the week is long, the silver cat feeds when blue meets yellow in the west'

The same boring neat handwriting, the same boring words, the same annoyingly smart code.

As I sat on the back counter of scoops the bell rang over and over and over again

"excuse me! Ahoy!" Erica shouted

Robin turned around and took her headphones off

"I'd like to try the peanut butter chocolate swirl, please."Erica smiled

"No. No more samples today." Robin shook her head

"Why not?" Erica put her hands in the counter

"Because you're abusing our company policy." Robin explained

"Where's the sailor man?" Erica looked around

"Sorry he can't help you. He's busy." Robin turned back around

"Busy with what?" Erica asked

"Listen, Erica. What can I do to get you to leave?" I asked

"Uhm, get me ice cream." She crossed her arms

"If I personally buy you an ice cream, will you please leave for at least a day?" I jumped off the counter

"all day. Yeah." She leaned on the counter. I looked at Robin and handed her 3 dollars, then she started making the cone for Erica

"all day, no coming back. Not even standing around outside." I looked at Erica

"Deal." She shrugged

I sat back on the counter and picked up the notepad, it's like the words were already burned into my brain.

'the week is long, the silver cat feeds when blue meets yellow in the west'

What could it mean?

"I got more." Robin looked at me

"What is it?" I asked picking up the pencil from beside my thigh

"a trip to China sounds nice if you tread lightly."

I wrote it down, sure she had already written it down in her notepad but she had Russian letters and words all over the place. So I keep only the code on my notepad

"The week is long, the silver cat feeds when blue meets yellow in the west. A trip to china sounds nice if you tread lightly."

There was a knock on the delivery door and Robin went to go answer it.
I watched through the back window.

A man with a mustache and a hat that read 'lynx' handed a package to Robin

'lynx'

A type of cat, I slid my legs over the counter and jumped off as the guy walked away, I could see a silver cat on his back.

I pushed Robin out the way and ran out into the small hallway, I watched as the man walked away with the silver cat symbol on his back.

"Y/N, what are you?--" Robin started, I pushed her again and jumped back over the counter, grabbing my notepad in the process

"Silver cat." I mumbled

"Yo, Y/N, you're not gonna believe--" Steve started as he saw me walking towards them, I picked up my page and ran past them.

I stood on a huge marble plant holder, looking around as gears whirled in my head

"A trip to China sounds nice." I mumbled, spinning around quickly. Colors blurred as I stopped, seeing the Chinese place in the food quart 'Imperial Panda'
