Of Spice and Ferrets

"Murray! In here!" The pink hippo scurrying about the cell turned as he located the source of the voice. Murray ran to the little vent in the wall and breathed a sigh of relief as he saw his best friend.
"Man Sly, am I glad to see you," he said, looking around him nervously. "I feel all funny inside. They've been feeding me food covered in spice, and I'm starting to see things." Murray scratched his large stomach.
"It's alright Murray," said Sly's voice as it floated out of the vent. "Bentley says he's got a plan. All you need to do is get yourself in an isolated cell. If you, say, start a fight, the guards might think you're not suited for company..."
" 'The Murray' knows not many things- but he does know how to start a fight!" Sly smiled as he watched The Murray stomp over to the iron cage bars and took a deep breath. Then, with surprisingly little effort, Murray smashed the gate down. Suddenly, alarms went off and the other cages opened, letting the other inmates out. Murray yelled, and werewolf fur started flying as the fight broke out. Sly smiled to himself.
"Bentley, Murray's started the fight," he whispered into his binocucom.
"Roger that Sly," Bentley said. "Head on back to the safehouse. There I can inform you on the full plan."
"Can't you just tell me from here?"
"We can't take any risks, Sly!" Bentley said irritably. "What if we're being listened in on AS WE SPEAK?"
"Alright, alright," Sly shushed the angry turtle. "I'll head on back-" Suddenly a sound caught his ear, and he turned in the vent.
"Sly?" Bentley's voice cracked through the binocucom. It was met with silence. "Sly? Are you-"
"Shh, Bentley," he whispered and crawled nearer to the sound. Three cells away from Murray, chained to the wall and singing a nonsense lullaby, was Sachet.
