Archie's Night on the Town

Last night Archie was missing. For 2+ hours. I noticed at about 8:15 that I hadn't seen him in awhile. I looked in all his favorite hiding spots, but didn't find him. Virgil and I searched the whole house at least twice with still no luck. We checked the back yard, the front yard, and around the side of the house, but still didn't find him.
We got out our big flashlights and prepared to search the neighborhood for him. Before I could get the front door locked, Virgil had spotted him under the neighbors truck. He was all hunched down behind the rear tire. I ran over to him and scooped him up. He was scared and cowering in a fuzzy ball. I took him back inside where he flopped out on his side like he was exhausted. He used up one of his lives last night. How many are left?
