Inside a rich mice residence in New York City, a rich and pompous rat, Mr. Grasping, is sat down on his sofa, reading a newspaper from the Daily Nibbler. He is a greedy industrialist who owns the largest cheese factory in the Tri-State Area along with his partners, Mr. Toplofty and Mr. O'Bloat. Mr. Toplofty presents himself as the benevolent face of the factory owners and the most perceptive of the trio. Like his associates, Mr. O'Bloat is greedy and ruthless. However, he lacks their subtlety and cunning. He is also the most paranoid of the trio. As for Mr. Grasping, he's the most cunning, manipulative, and ruthless of the trio.

Pff... listen to this boys... Mr. Grasping said to his fellow factory owners sitting in sofa's next to him near the fireplace. It seems that Nellie Brie, the reporter of the Daily Nibbler, is now trying to expose corruption in OUR cheese factory!

What!? How could this be!? Mr. O'Bloat asked, his eyes widened.

This is impossible... there's no way she could have figured that out... unless... she went undercover somehow... Mr. Toplofty said with a glare.

Calm yourselves, boys. There's no need to worry. She's playing a dangerous game here. So we'll just have to fight back. Mr. Grasping said with a scheming smile.

And just how exactly are we going to do that!? Mr. O'Bloat asked.

And don't forget that our chief of police, Chief McBrusque is now dead... they won't help us anymore, now that they are led by that goody-two shoed cat ally, Tiger. McBrusque said with a glare.

Ohhhh, there are lots of ways to get rid of that cat... don't worry... We will make sure we maintain power. She's not going to take us down that easy. That I can promise you. Grasping said with an confident smirk before he hears a knock. Hm?

It was the factory owner butler. Excuse me sirs. You all have a visitor. The butler said.

Who could it possibly be? Mr. Grasping asked.

The person the Butler mentioned soon appears.
