With a grin, Adam said, "We're a little far from the ocean an' we dun't get many peddlers, but lemme see what I c'n find..."
The boy poked around the hospital for a bit until he found a large, clear plastic box. Using a ballpoint pen from the desk, he pounded some holes in the top and sprinkled paper from the paper shredder across the bottom. With two petri dishes for food and water and a bedpan to hide in, Adam thought it'd make a good enough rat home for a while. He placed the box at the foot of Loki's bed and approached the rat.
"Now you just stay real still, rat. I'm gonna pick you up an' put you in this box so you c'n keep Loki comp'ny, okay?" Surprisingly, or not, the rat did just that and Adam gently placed him in his new temporary home and carefully replaced the lid.
"I'll get him some vegetables an' things from the kitchen in a bit," the young man explained. "But be careful when you open the lid or he could run off."
