(Authors note: For those who have read Beauty Pageant before and liked it, I'm sorry I haven't updated it, in forever. To be honest I just forgot about it. I'm going to read do the chapters that I have up and then start on a new one. Hopefully it want be as long before I get them up. The plot is the same I just went back and added more detail.)
"Ok, listen up, enforcers. We have some new information on the kitty," Commander Ferral announced.
All the enforcers that were on duty that day were in the conference room. They were discussing the new criminal the kitty. All they knew about him or her was that they would send a coded letter to enforcer headquarters, before they bombed a place. If the enforcers could figure it out in time they could try to stop the bomb. So far there had been three bombs and the enforcers hadn't stopped one of them.
"We've just received another letter from the kitty. I've sent it down to the decoders, they should have it up here in just a few minutes," Commander Ferral told the room, full of enforcers. The one thing Ferral was thankful of was that since the letters came to enforcer headquarters, the Swat Kats didn't get involved until it was too late. Just then two decoder officers walked into the room and handed Commander Ferral a sheet of paper.
"It appears that they have finished decoding the kitty's letter. Humm... It looks like the kitty's next target is the Miss Mega Kat beauty pageant. It's a big deal Kat's from all over the world come here to compete in it. Not to mention it brings a lot of publicity and money to the city, which the mayor loves. We've got to stop the kitty. This time we're going to have to come up with something better then our last three plains, because we couldn't stop him and two officers were killed," Commander Ferral finished.
"I could go undercover," Steele quickly volunteered.
"Sure, so you can see all the girls in bathing suits and dresses," Tim one of the decoders said.
"Steele, you idiot!" Commander Ferral yelled it was because of Steele that the two enforcers got killed. "After the last stunt you pulled, do you think you are going to be doing anything. Though the undercover idea is not that bad, we would need a female, one that is pretty, and can handle herself, so she can get backstage and try to find the bomber."
"That's a good idea, sir. Do you have anyone in mind?" Tim asked.
"Not right off, but I want you to go through all our files and pull out the ones that fit the description," Ferral said pointing to Tim.
"I'll get right on it, sir", Tim said heading to the computer room. He started searching through the files, of the woman enforcers they had. There wasn't that many. The first one the computer pulled up was getting married in a week. The second woman was on leave because she was getting ready to have a baby. After going through a few more files, he finally found the perfect girl, Felina Ferral. "Commander Ferral we've found someone."
"Who?" Ferral asked.
"Felina," Tim told him.
"She's not at work today, but I will tell her as soon as I get home, in fact I think I will leave now, my shift's almost over," Commander Ferral was worried. How could this happen. I know Felina's a good cop, but so were the two that got killed. He decided to tell Felina in person so he drove to her apartment.
Felina was cleaning her gun, when she heard a knock on her door. She got up to answer it and found her uncle standing there.
"Felina I need to talk to you," Ferral said.
"Sure, come on it," Felina said shutting the door behind him. "What's up?"
"Well, Felina we have a special assignment for you, but you're not going to like it. You're going to have to do it anyway, because it might help us catch the kitty," Commander Ferral told his niece.
"If it helps to catch the kitty, I will do whatever it takes." Felina could tell that the assignment must be dangerous, because her uncle was very nervous. He always got nervous, when she was sent into a dangerous situation.
"I want you to go undercover as a contestant at the Miss Mega Kat beauty pageant. We believe it's the kitty's next target," Commander Ferral told her.
Felina was expecting almost anything except that. My uncle has lost his mind, Felina thought. "The Miss Mega Kat pageant, you've got to be kidding! How will I be any help to you? I don't even own a dress. There is no way I'll be able to make it into the top five to get backstage to everything," Felina finished ranting.
"Don't worry Felina, I will find someone to teach you the ropes. In fact I already have someone in mind. Can I use your phone?" Commander Ferral picked up the phone and proceeded to call Callie.
"Hello," Callie said answering her cell phone. She was just getting ready to go pick up her car from Jake and Chance.
"Hey Callie, this is Commander Ferral. I need a huge favor," Ferral told Callie.
"Sure, what can I do for you," Callie asked, very curious, Ferral never asked for favors.
"Well, we've got a lead on the kitty," Ferral informed her.
"That's good," Callie said, wondering what she was about to get herself into.
"We think he's going to hit the Miss Mega Kat beauty pageant, so we're putting Felina undercover as a contestant," Ferral told her.
"So what do you need my help for?" Callie asked, still a little confused.
"It starts in two days and she doesn't even own a dress. I need you to get her ready. Please Callie I don't know of anyone else," Ferral said trying to sound nice.
This could be fun. I haven't done makeovers and girl stuff in years, Callie thought. "Sure, send her to the junkyard, I need to pick up my car, then we'll be on our way. We have so much to do and so little time," Callie said hanging up.
"Ok Felina, she's going to help, your going to meet her at the junk yard in a few minutes," Ferral told Felina.
"You can't be serious uncle, there has to be someone better for this," Felina tried to reason again.
I wish, Commander Ferral thought, but instead he said "nope you're the only one; the computer picked you out of all the female enforcers."
"Ok if I have to. Callie's going to help me all the way, right?" Felina asked glade someone would be there with her every step of the way.
"Yes, now go or you'll be late. I'll lock up your apartment for you," Ferral said pushing her out the door.
"Ok, Ok, I'm going," Felina said walking out of her apartment and down the street to the junkyard. It took her about fifteen minutes to get there.
Jake was working on Callie's car, when he saw Felina approaching. That is never good an enforcer coming here, Jake thought. He didn't need this right now after all Callie was supposed to be there any minute and her car was nowhere near done. "Hey Lt. Ferral," he called out.
"Hello," Felina said walking up. She still couldn't believe this was happening. How could she possibly compete in a beauty pageant?
"Good Felina, you made it, we have a lot to do if you're going to be ready in two days. Come on lets go," Callie said heading towards her car.
"That might be a problem; you're cars not ready. What's going on anyway?" Jakes asked as Chance walked up beside him.
"Felina's going to be entering the Miss Mega Kat beauty pageant, as an undercover cop, but the contestants can't know, so she must make it into the finals on her own," Callie told them.
Chance couldn't help himself, picturing Felina parading around on stage in a dress. He started laughing.
"Hey don't laugh, it's bad enough that I have to go through it, I don't need you to laugh at me," Felina yelled. The nerve of Chance, I should teach him a lesson, Felina thought.
"Sorry, it's just that I can't picture you doing that," Chance said.
"Well, if I had a choice I wouldn't," Felina told him, man I don't like this guy.
"Hey, why don't we lend you a hand? We can drive you since your cars not ready," Jake suggested. Since both he and Chance really liked Callie, this would give them a chance to be with her.
"Ok, sure", Callie said, she didn't mend them coming; in face she thought it was a great idea.
I don't want them with us. They'll just make fun of me, Felina thought, but there was nothing she could do. She and Callie climbed into the backseat of Jake's car and rove toward town, with Jake driving and Chance riding shotgun.
