Cassidy winced.
"I'm like a cat stuck up a tree! We'll have to call the Fire Brigade!"
"And then they'll ask how he managed to get up there, and the neighbor will grass up on me and get me into trouble," Cassidy muttered. "Either that or they'll complain that we wasted their time by getting stuck up there in the first place.
"We'll have to get him down eventually, though..."
