So sorry about Leia. Maybe she is living it up in some cat cafe in the sky with Sprinkles.

The Jim-Dwight contempt is STRONG in this one. And I love the quickly replicating pattern of Pam as Jim's co-conspirator but also Dwight whisperer.
The image of Pam pointing the flashlight at her own face and teasing Jim is adorable and so very them.
Michael ripping his Ross-purchased pants to get into the cat cafe is a great remix of canon. Also, I very much want to see Michael end up with one of the cats now.
"Michael leaned in. “You know, you can just walk right under that stuff.”" Lol.
This was a *very* fun chapter. Sorry it comes on such a hard day. RIP Leia.

Very sorry to hear about Leia. It's always heartbreaking when one of our pets leaves us.
So yes, it's a cat murder, but as Pam said, it's still a mystery. The fact that it was Dwight who was in full on "who brought the joint into the parking lot," investigative mode tracks beautifully. Of course, he'd try to go all out for something like this. Great characterization.
Pam knows her way around the warehouse and where exactly to get a flashlight in locker R.A.? Feels like a bit of backstory to be had there. Hopefully it won't interfere with burgeoning JAM.
They're either being really smart about all this or they're being overly analytical about everything. Or both. Still, it's fun to see them start to bond over everything and to start to put some pieces in place.
Looking forward to more for sure.
Jellybean for Leia as well.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, and thoughts for Leia. She was a good cat and will be missed.

So I know about those cat cafes -don;t know how but I do and I love that detail in this story.
"He wondered why she knew so much about the inner workings of the warehouse, but didn’t press." - OH No...this can't be good for Jim.
*People didn’t always listen, but animals had a way of making you feel noticed.* - this line - esp. in light of your news really tugged at my heart. And very characteristic of Michael.
And I appreciate the line about the pot on the roof having just come from a concert where I'm sure I got a contact high from the smell. But being it's Michael who said it, it could just be an herb garden, someone growing basil and oregano.
I see you with those finger guns...
I love how organically you have introduced and inserted the characters and some canon moments...Dwight as the officer, the firing at DM, the PPC, Phyllis, Sprinkles' death.
I agree with Pam. This is going to be fun.

The weed garden will definitely come back, lol. Glad you picked up on the warehouse reference... there be trouble ahead...
I knew you (and only you) would pick up on the finger guns <3

You are so good at writing dialogue for these characters, it's crazy. The Pam/Jim/Michael interaction feels so authentic, and I definitely laughed out loud a few times. Have I mentioned what an awesome writer you are? Love you, love the fic, can't wait for the next chapter.

Okay, to start off: I'm so sorry about Leia! All the good vibes to you and your family, losing our furry friends is never easy!
“"Hank is being stingy on the details, but he said whoever did this is – and I quote – one sick fuck.”" - I love reading Michael cursing xD
Dwight being the cop on this case, and almost losing his badge because of it? Perfect. I love it!
The piece about the Alicia Keys concert KILLED ME! I am now deceased, thank you TD xD
I love that they all come together over the death of a cat, and THAT'S why Michael wants to make a podcast. I knew he would be Oliver!
Can't wait to see if they talk to Phyllis! I wonder how that will go.
Great job as always, TD! Now, time to continue watching the show
Author's Response: Thanks, Em! I'm glad you liked Michael cursing, when I read it back I picture him being bleeped and blurred out, lol
