The <em>reason</em> they're best friends is that the Grey Fox is every bit the fight-loving brawler Kit herself is. "Girl's Night Out" has the two uncovering a Nazi sabotage ring in the Fox's city. The Grey Fox displays how she gets information by threatening and, if need be, beating up whoever she has to. The Squirrel, in turn, teaches the Grey Fox how to use threats of drops from rooftops to interrogate suspects. In "The Lost Sheep", the Flying Squirrel wants to find out what happened to a boy she had tried and failed to keep out of the army after he enlisted. Since she feels the Red Panda won't go along with her on this one, she calls the Grey Fox to help her out. </li></ul></li><li> All the <em><a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Podcast/Sequinox' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Podcast/Sequinox' data-format='UG9kY2FzdC97e1NlcXVpbm94fX0='>Sequinox</a></em> girls, naturally, though to different degrees.
