Chapter 2: Farewell of a Friend and Making New Arrangements
It was the middle of the morning as the two junkyard operator tom-kats was finishing up repairing cars and then closing the garage for the day.
When morning came around in Megakat City, everything was peaceful and calm as it could be for a place this large. The city was quiet including the outskirts of the city where the Megakat City Salvage Yard, except the light noise came inside the room of Chance Furlong as he was busy packing some things in the suitcase that was on top of his bed.
Once Chance was done packing his things by tossing a picture frame with a photo with him and Jake who were Enforcers on top of the clothes that were already packed inside the suitcase. Then the thick-build tabby tom-kat used both of his paws to slam the suitcase hard in anger and frustration of how the conversation of them going back to the Enforcer replayed in his mind of how messed up the whole thing had turned out for the both of them.
Chance used his free left paw to picked up the suitcase and walked towards his room door. then used his free right paw to grab the doorknob and gave it a forceful turn to the left as he used the light force from his heft arm to pull it open. The thick-build tabby tom-kat proceeded to walk out of room and
After the discussion about their decisions of going back with the Enforcers yesterday afternoon, the two tom-kats decided to part ways of give each other space. Chance went back to his room to get his things that he has already packed earlier. Once inside his room that has been his space for four years, Chance grabbed the duffel bag that was on his bed, some suitcases full on clothes and left the room. The tabby tom-kat then proceed down the stairs as he exit the main doorway to place his things inside the trunk of the blue sedan.
Chance did this process six time without looking at Jake as he was almost done moving all of his things out of the room he lived in for four years and into the trunk of his blue sedan in the garage. Each step that Chance Furlong had made, it felt like a million pieces of broken glass that was stepped on with one glass shard at a time. That is what Jake Clawson was feeling.
To Jake, the feeling was much worse. It felt like that someone was wearing football cleats, then stomping forcefully on his heart and smashing everything around him along with everything he has hold dear for as with each cruel stomp.
Jake was sitting on the chair and is looking at Chance with a sad expression on his face. On the inside he was also sad, angry and disgusted of the choice that Chance made by leaving their selflessness volunteer work of the SWAT Kats for the corrupt self fame from the Enforcers.
Then Chance look at Jake with a pleading look one more time in hopes in reconsidering of going back with him, while Jake gave Chance the same look in hopes of reconsidering of him staying.
Since neither of them had changed their minds on the decision that have been made by the both of them, Chance broke the silence as he spoke to Jake who is still sitting in his chair one more and for perhaps the last time with a sad tone in his voice.
"Well, I guess this it it." Chance said.
When Chance spoke to him as he was done packing his in the blue sedan in the salvage yard parking garage, Jake's facial expression look didn't change as he was trying not to let any tears form around his eyes. The situation was unbearable as the cinnamon tom-kat voice has started to waver with sadness when he spoke.
"Yes I... I guess soo." Jake said.
The way Jake was looking at him, Chance was wondering if he should try again to make him come back with him. During a little digging around his now ex-partner's room awhile back that resulted of him finding some questionable material that was in there, Chance knows for a fact that Jake was either gay or bisexual.
As thinking on a last ditch effort to convince Jake to return to the Enforcers with him, Chance was planning on telling Jake of the recent hidden feelings that he had recently improvised of hopes of Jake would accepting those feelings and for him to come back with him to the Enforcers on that alone.
Then after what Jake has told Chance about him leaving the life they had build together for four years, he then decided against it as it would probably made the parting worse if Jake had acknowledge those feelings and still did not want to go back with him. The tabby tom-kat look at his former cinnamon tom-kat one last time and said his farewell softly as his own voice was beginning to break.
Um, I... No. It's nothing. Goodbye, Jake. Chance said.
Jake was wondering on what Chance was about to say, but after when Chance decided to say those two words that he did not dare to dream of hearing his partner say that mean anything. Jake no longer cared of what Chance was going to say because of the pain that it might bring.
In his pain, Jake also squashed any idea of anything of what Chance had to say after the decision to leave best friend and partner for four years. Jake then decided to send Chance on his was with a difficult smile as his voice was breaking softly.
"Whatever how things turn out for the both of us Mister Furlong, may the Goddess watch over you." Jake said.
When Chance heard Jake say that and called him by the suffix along with his last name afterwards, Chance knew for the fact that whatever they had was now over. Chance nodded as he proceeded to the garage door, open it walked out and shut the door.
Jake was still stunned and broken hearted after Chance had shut the front door of the salvage yard. Then the cinnamon tom-kat then heard a trunk door of the car slam, then a car door open, shut and heard the loud engine from it as the car itself has roared to life.
As Jake was still in his distraught state, he slowly walked towards the garage window to see Chance's blue sedan backed out of the parking garage. The cinnamon tom-kat then seen the blue sedan turn backwards, then saw the car moving forward as he heard it going out of the salvage yard.
After Chance's blue sedan left the garage, Jake had slumped down on his knees as he let the tears from his face came down at full force and was crying very loudly. Jake decided he needed this release as the cinnamon tom-kat kept going until he could not cry anymore.
For three long hours, Jake had finally stopped crying as his face was matted with the tears that he shed because of his partner for four years leaving. Once Jake was finish wiping the tears from his eyes with his left paw, he needed to get his inventions ready to be dismantled and transferred to another location. The cinnamon tom-kat used his right paw to went into his pants pocket as he pulled out his cellphone and hopes of a very close friend of his would do him a favor.
On the outskirts of Megakat City Beach, there was a huge estate sitting on the top of the flat mountains above the shoreline. The estate happens to be the home and research laboratory that belong to Professor Howard Hackle, a former Pumadyne Weapons Designer. Hackle was sitting in his chair as to enjoying his evening meal until his house phone rang. With the dismay of having him getting up to answer the phone that was probably a telemarketer calling, Hackle gave a sad sigh as he did not wish to be bother while having some time for himself from his hard work. Hackle went to his phone that was on the coffee table, then picked it up and answered it with a calm voice.
"Good Afternoon, This is the Hackle residents, Professor Hackle speaking. How may I help you?" Hackle said.
Jake had second thoughts of how was he going to ask Hackle for a place to stay until further notice as he was nervous. The cinnamon tom-kat then realized that Hackle did not know his civilian identity and decided to use his vigilante call sign as begins to speak on the phone in hopes of the old inventor would recognize him.
"Professor Hackle. It's me, Razor." Jake said.
When Hackle heard that it was Razor on the other end of the phone line instead of a telemarketer call, the old inventor tom-kat was excited to hear his friend again and asked the tom-kat on the other end of the receiver on how he was doing with excitement in his voice.
"Ah! Razor! How are you, my friend?!" Hackle said.
When Jake was hearing Hackle's excited voice on the receiver end of his cell phone, it made the cinnamon tom-kat feel good on the inside because that made him felt like he was loved and wanted as he resume the conversation with a soft calm voice.
"Not too good. Let's say that some personal problems has come up and I need a place to stay for awhile." Jake said.
Hackle suspected that Razor was in trouble or needed his help again and was shocked of why the lean-build masked vigilante tom-kat needed a place to stay because of personal problems. For being concern for other kats well being by nature, the old inventor wanted to make sure that everything was okay and asked him in a soft voice if his partner will be joining with him.
"I see. That is no problem, my friend. Will T-Bone be joining you anytime soon or was this a temporary thing for you only?" Hackle said.
When Hackle asked about T-Bone be joining him, Jake fight the tears that was about to form in his eyes because the question had reminded him of his partner that chosen the Enforcers over him. The cinnamon tom-kat shook the hurtful feeling from his mind as he resume speaking with a sad shaky voice.
"I'm... I am afraid that... T-bone... will... not... be joining... me. It will be just me... and me... alone... If this... is a problem... of me showing up and asking something unexpected of you, then I apologize. I just do not have no one else to turn too, right now." Jake said.
After Jake had said that and possibility heard that the kat on the other end was about to cry, Hackle decided to lend the masked vigilante tom-kat an invitation for him to stay with him. The old inventor did not know why he had done this, but it was something in his gut that told him that the tom-kat who he was the key to his happiness.
The old happiness that Hackle used to had when he had a family in a distance land and was lost to him soo long ago. The lost of it all was too much for the old lonely inventor to bear as he shook those painful thoughts from his mind and went back to the response to Razor's request with a soft firm tone in his voice.
"Do not worry, Razor. You are always welcome here, anytime and can stay here as long as you want." Hackle said.
To his shock and amazement, Razor was relieved when Hackle has accepted him into his home to let him stay for as long as he needed to until a new base of operations and a new home could be found. Even though he has found a temporary home for awhile home, Jake was still happy nonetheless as he praise the old inventor kindness on the other end of the receiver with excitement in his voice.
"Thank you! Thank you so very much, Hackle! I will never forget this! I will help you in whatever you need me to do around the house or anywhere else! Cook. Clean. or some help with one of your inventions! You name it and I will do it! There is a good chance that I might have to reveal myself to you to avoid any complication in the long run, but I know I can trust you. By the way, is the offer to use your Cybertron Two still any good? If it is, can I use it? I need to have some heavy stuff moved, some things dismantled and to be out of my home very quickly." Jake said.
Hackle was very excited when Razor decides to come over to his home and to stay with him. Ever since his wife left him twenty five years ago because of the pain of their family gone, the old inventor was beginning to feel very lonely.
Now since someone else is coming to stay with him that shared his brilliant mind Hackle can finally interact with someone with who could understand his inventing ways and could not be any happier as if he were going to experience the joy that he had lost again.
To calm himself down of the excitement of having someone to share his conversations with, Hackle then took unnoticeable small breaths and decided to answer Razor's question with a relativity calm voice as the lean-build masked vigilante tom-kat on the other end of the receiver had asked him about the old offer that he gave the SWAT Kats of using the Cybertron II for a while back.
"The offer of you using the Cybertron Two is still good, Razor. The Cybertron Two has a lot of storage space and has a hover capabilities that can move all your things anywhere by land sea and air Is you planning on using it now?" Hackle said.
Like Hackle, Jake was too was excited and also has taken some small unnoticeable breaths to calm himself as he calmly answered Hackle question.
"Yes. I going to need the Cybertron Two help to move some of the equipment that I have from my home. A lot of it would be very heavy as I would need something strong to lift them. I would be using it for storage as well. When can I come over and pick it up? I need to move out of my home right away." Jake said.
Hackle smiled when Razor decided to use his inventions for good purposes instead of using them for some violent crusade for saving the city as he resume speaking on the receiver with a calm voice.
"Right now if you want, if I am around when you arrive, then I am probably in the the other room researching or in the living quarter relaxing. I also have a room prepared for you and had the basement cleaned out to place all your gear inside for when you get back." Hackle said.
After Hackle told him that not only he had a roof over his head, but he would have some room for his inventions as well. As a result, Jake was happy beyond belief and was very lucky to have someone like Hackle as a friend. Then the cinnamon tom-kat spoke to the receiver to Hackle with a grateful tone of voice.
"Thank you, Hackle. I appreciate this, really. I don't know how I will be able to pay you back for this." Razor said.
Hackle smiled when Razor thanked him and was relieved. to use his inventions for good purposes instead of using them for violent as he resume speaking on the receiver with a calm voice.
"Think nothing of it, my boy. I will see you soon once you are finish getting settled in, okay?" Hackle said.
Jake smiled at Hackle's kindness as he begins to mentally make preparations of moving his things out of the salvage yard and go straight to the old inventor's estate. The cinnamon tom-kat was hoping he could stay until he figures out on how to continue on being the SWAT Kats just by himself or just stay with Hackle as a normal kat with a extra pair of paws of the old inventor's independent research.
"Okay and thank you soo much! I will be on my way as soon I am done, okay?" Razor said.
The old former Pumadyne researcher tom-kat chuckled at the masked vigilante tom-kat that was on the other end of the receiver who had shown his excitement of the move as the resume speaking in his calm voice.
"Okay I see you later, Razor." Hackle said.
When Hackle allow Razor to stay with him Razor was smiling as if he had won the Megakat State Lottery as he was barley containing the excitement in his voice when he spoke to Hackle again on the receiver.
"Sure, Professor. See you soon. Jake said.
Howard Hackle place the phone back on the hook and was very excited when Razor decides to come over to his home to stay with him. Ever since his wife left him twenty five years ago because of the pain of loosing their family with the exception of is daughter-in-law younger sister, the old inventor was very lonely.
The daughter-in-law youngest sister who happens to be Hackle house aide from her off hours, were also staying with him from time to time, The live-in-aide was sweet just like her sister as the old inventor had enjoyed her help and the company. The sister-in-law who was the wife of his deceased son were so busy at the Megakat Museum of Natural History, she barely had the time to eat and any free time to spend with him besides the house duties that she have to do. It was nice that some semblance of his family living with him, but he needed someone who can share his knowledge with.
Since someone else is coming to stay with him that shared his brilliant mind other than his daughter in-law youngest sister Hackle needed someone to interact with and could not be any happier as if he were going to experience the joy he had lost again.
When Jake hang up the phone that ended the conversation, the cinnamon tom-kat got up, then uses both of his paws to wipe the excess tears from his face and then proceeded to the other side of the garage that was the emergency entrance of the hanger. Jake used his free paws to grab the wheel and turned it counter clockwise.
Then Jake pulled the wheel and look forward to see a pole that leads downwards to the underground hanger. The cinnamon tom-kat released his paws of the wheel, then grab the handles of the pole to secure the grip as he slide down.
Once Jake arrived inside the hanger, the cinnamon tom-kat ran quickly to his locker and grab his SWAT Kat suit. Jake quickly removed his clothes in a hurried manner as he put on the SWAT Kat Suit and to assume his vigilante identity as Razor.
After changing into his SWAT Kat Suit, Razor then placed his civilian clothing into the locker on top of T-bone SWAT Kat uniform and shut the door.
As running towards the black jet that is the Turbokat as his life depend on it, Razor then pulled out a device that was a remote access key to open the jet cockpit doors. The jets doors slide backwards as Razor hopped onto the jet's wing and jump into the pilot's seat.
Once inside the jet, Razor pressed a button on the console to close the cockpit doors. When the cockpit doors was shut, Razor then pushed a few more buttons as a result the jet engines starts up and the underground hanger door begins to open along with the sidelights on the wall for the safe take-off of the Turbokat.
With Razor on the pilot side of the Turbokat, the jet takes off in a fast speed from the underground hanger and into the air as the door of the underground door of the hanger closes.
Once the Turbokat was in the skies of Megakat City, Razor flew the jet at the direction of Professor Hackle's Laboratory to pick up the Cybertron II and return to the hanger to begin preparations of moving his things into the professor's home.
When the Turbokat arrived at professor Hackle's Laboratory, Razor pressed a button on the the pilot console as a result the cockpit doors slide open again and the lean-build masked vigilante jump up from his seat. The lean-build masked vigilante was on the wing of the Turbokat as he jumped off the wing and landed on the ground firmly on his feet.
Once the Turbokat was securely landed, Razor walked towards the Cybertron II that was waiting beside the unarmed missiles. The lean-build mask vigilante tom-kat was prepared to give the huge purple robot some orders of what to do with a calm voice.
Then Razor press the auto-pilot button to keep the Turbokat steady as the lean-build masked vigilante used left paw to go into the left pocket of the suit and pulled something from it that resembles a remote control.
As Razor pressed a few more buttons the Cybertron II eyes lit up and proceed towards the opening of the hanger. Once the Cybertron II was inside, it parked itself besides Razor's unarmed missiles as the Turbokat begins to fly inside the underground hanger landing way. The jet was on the runway as it has slowed down and stopped in front of the unarmed missiles.
Razor pressed another button on the the pilot console as a result the cockpit doors slide open again and had jump up from his seat. The lean-build masked vigilante tom-kat landed on the wing of the Turbokat as he jumped again off the wing and landed on the ground firmly on his feet.
Once the Turbokat was securely landed, Razor walked towards the Cybertron II that was waiting beside the unarmed missiles. The small masked vigilante tom-kat was prepared to give the huge purple robot some orders of what to do with a calm voice.
"Alright, Cybertron Two. I want you to carefully dismantle my huge computer beside the lockers and place it in your storage compartment in your chest. Once you is done with that, I want you to take my unused missiles that is in front of the Turbokat and also place them in you storage compartment." Razor said.
Once it had receive the orders that was given by Razor, the Cybertron II beep in response and went to do the assigned task. As the huge purple robot went to Razor's computer, the robot's arm was stretched out forward as it's hands turned into variety of tools and starts to disassemble the huge computer with ease.
After it was done disassembling the huge computer, the Cybertron II went towards the unarmed missiles and had disassemble those too with ease. Then the huge purple robot chest opened up to reveal it's storage compartment and use his arms to gather the disassemble equipment and placed them inside it's chest, then it's chest closed as the robot continued to do it assigned task.
To Razor's surprise and amazement, it took the Cybertron thirty minuets to do the assigned tasks with out any problems or damage to his now dismantle computer, along with the disassembled missiles that was now stored inside the huge robot's massive chest storage space.
As most of the afternoon went by that eventually went to late at night and it was now in the early morning when it was still dark outside, Razor has disassembled all of the SWAT Kats' related equipment. The SWAT Kats equipment, included some of the computers that kept up with the Supercriminal activity in the area, were now disassembled and was inside the Cybertron storage compartment in it's chest. The design sketches, including T-Bone's SWAT Kat equipment, the clothes he got from his room was packed and loaded at the back floor of the seat at the weapon systems operator part of the Turbokat.
After Razor was done loading the back seat of the Turbokat, he jump off the jet and had landed safely on his feet. Once on the ground, the lean-build masked vigilante had used both paws to grab a heavy gym bag from the floor beside the Turbokat and walked towards the opposite direction of the hanger.
When Razor got to the other side of the hanger, the lean-build Then Razor uses his right paw to grab the the zipper and unzipped the heavy gymbag to reveal some rectangular devices and lean-build masked vigilante tomkat alng with the huge purple robot place some satchel charges at key locations of the hanger. If there was a good chance of anyone trying to find the underground hanger in the salvage yard inner quarters, then it would already been destroyed.
Once the explosion has been initiated Razor along would be long gone before he activated the charges from a safe distance so the Cybertron II, the Turbokat and himself won't be caught in the explosion.
Razor made sure that the destruction of the underground hanger would not damage the upper levels of the salvage yard living quarters and everything that was inside the building. Not to mention it would not damage the outside of the building, including the building itself.
It took six days of all of the stuff was properly dismantled and was prepared to be transferred out of the hanger and away from the salvage yard to Professor Hackle's Lab before the explosion take place. In preparation of any of the Enforcers could find out his former base of operations finding out his the customers that came to the salvage yard for the repairs of their vehicles or when Burke and Murray came with some scrap to be delivered, Jake had posted a cardboard sign with words written in black that had 'closed until further notice' at the front door at the shop main entrance.
The closing of the salvage yard has caused lot of metal backup at the yard, but Jake did not care. The only thing that mattered to the cinnamon tom-kat was concerned of getting all of his item pack up and transferred to Professor Hackle's lab as soon as possible while detonating the hanger without being detected by anyone.
With everything was packed and ready to go, Razor used his left paw to pull out a device in the suit's left pants pocket and pressed a huge black round button.
The result of the black round button that was pressed by Razor had lit up the garage runway as it also open up the underground hanger runway door. After placing the device back into the suit left pants pocket as the runway door was completely open, Razor look at the Cybertron II and decides to issue another order to the huge purple robot with calmness in his voice.
"Okay, Cybertron Two. I want you to go outside and wait somewhere close to the salvage yard so the Turbokat can see you for when I can pick you up, alright?" Razor said.
The Cybertron II gave the lean-build masked vigilante tom-kat an affirmative beep as the huge purple robot used it wheels to speed towards the the runway and was now outside beside some huge pile of scrap metal waiting for the Turbokat to pick it up.
With a new resolve of starting a new life with Hackle, Razor walked towards the Turbokat, then jumped onto the right wing of the black jet as he walked carefully towards the cockpit doors and pressed the side button on the bottom of it.
As the result of the cockpit's button being pressed by Razor, the cockpit doors slide backwards to open as the small masked vigilante quickly got in, sat down on the seat and pressed another button on the pilot's flight controls. The result of that button that Razor pushed, the cockpit doors slide forward to close.
Once inside the jet, Razor then pushed a few more buttons as a result the jet engines starts to roar to life as the underground hanger door begins to open along with the sidelights on the wall for the safe take-off of the Turbokat.
With Razor on the pilot side of the Turbokat, the jet takes off in a fast speed from the underground hanger and into the air as the door of the underground door of the hanger closes. Once the Turbokat was in the air around the salvage yard, Razor saw the Cybertron II that was beside some scrap metal of the salvage yard and moved the jet closer to the huge purple robot as he press the same button on the console that released the Mega Manacles from the flush of the fuselage of the Turbokat.
As the Turbokat was guided again by Razor, the masked vigilante guided the Mega Manacles onto the Cybertron II shoulders as the huge manacles gripped the purple robot's shoulders tight again and was lifted off the ground. When the huge purple robot was in the air, the jet took off at the direction towards Professor Hackle's Laboratory.
Once the Turbokat was in the midnight skies of Megakat city with the fully loaded Cybertron II in tow, Razor used his left paw to fly the jet steady and used his free right paw to pull out a cylinder looking device that had a small red button on top of it. As the jet was flying at a reasonable amount of distance, he then used the thumb on his right paw to press the red button of the cylinder device.
After Razor had pressed the red button on the cylinder device, the charges that was place inside of the now vacant hanger had let out a loud explosive sound as it completely destroyed the old Megawar II underground hanger that was on the bottom of the salvage yard. As for the salvage yard itself including the garage, has not suffered any noticeable damage.
As the Turbokat reached the landing pad of Professor Hackle's Estate, Razor descends the jet down slowly and pressed the same button to reference of the Mega Manacles that held the huge purple robot. That move by the lean-build masked vigilante had caused the Mega Manacles to release the Cybertron II and safely landed on the landing pad as the purple robot speed itself inside the already opened door to the building.
Inside the Turbokat, Razor pressed the button on the pilot control as a result the Mega Manicles retreat to the flush to the fuselage of the Turbokat and used the jet stick to carefully guide the Turbokat gently on the landing pad. Once the jet has landed, the lean masked vigilante tom-kat then pressed a button on the the pilot console as a result of the cockpit doors slide open.
Razor then got up and jump up from his seat. The masked vigilante was on the wing of the Turbokat as he went to the second seat that was behind him and picked up the sketches along with two gym bags the rest of the things jumped off the wing and landed on the landing pad firmly on his feet.
Once the Turbokat was securely landed, Razor walked towards the door where the Cybertron II headed as the lean vigilante went towards the huge door that the huge robot went and was waiting beside the wall with a large garage door with a small piece of paper that was tape to it.
After a closer look at the paper that was tape to the metal door, Razor realized that it was a note from Hackle. Then the lean-build masked vigilante took the paper from the door and scanned the paper to read mentally at the words that was written by the old Pumadyne inventor as his eyes was rested at the top of the page.
'Dear Razor,'
'I am sorry that I was not there to greet you in person. I wanted to see you again when you had arrived, but I soo busy with my work and my body was not as it used to be, for I had to went to bed early. I have an live-in-aide now and she is very nice. I have a feeling that you two will get along just fine. Again, I apologize for not greeting you for in person as when you have arrived.'
'With the help of my live-in-aide, I have a room prepared for you. You can store your personal items in there. I also have a underground basement in which I do not use, but you can have it as long as you needed. The underground basement is also a underground hanger as well. Not only you can store your jet there, but also all of your equipment and inventions there, too.'
'My aide and I has retired for the evening as we will be up at around eight-thirty in the morning to greet you then. You do not have to worry about my aide telling anyone about you staying here because she already knows you is a good tom-kat as she told me that you have saved her live far too many times for her to betray your and my trust.'
'I hope that one day you will trust me long enough to reveal yourself. I know you value your privacy, so I wont pry on the subject like a feeble old kat would. If you want me to know who you are, then you will be the one to tell me. Well, that is all for now. I, along with my aide will see you tomorrow morning. I have a lot or spare rooms and your room is located beside my storage room as it has a white 'R' on the door. I know you must be very tired from your ordeal of all that packing so I hope you have pleasant evening a nice rest and good dreams.'
'Your friend,'
'Howard Hackle.'
Razor stared blankly at the paper as he began to frown and the tears that slowly form between his eyes, knowing that he was happy that someone like Hackle who went all this way just for him. As the lean- build masked vigilante tom-kat thought of the old inventor's offer to reveal himself to him, the tom-kat decided to do so after he finished unpacking his things to their respective locations in his room and the new underground basement that would serve as the SWAT Kats base of operations.
As for him to start unpacking the things he got from the hanger, that chore would have to wait until morning. Right now, Razor was tired as for having to relocated the SWAT Kats materials elsewhere because of Chance's choice to go back to the Enforcers and the emotional stress that came with it had begin to take a huge toll on the lean-build masked vigilante tom-kat. Razor shook off the feeling of the hurt as he walked to the other side of the lab to pass twelve other rooms find his room with a white letter 'R' at the door and then go inside to his new living quarters to find somewhere to sleep the stress off his body.
Twenty minuents of walking around the hallway Razor had found his room with the door that had the huge white 'R' at the middle of it, he used his free left paw to grip the metal doorknob and gave it a counter clockwise turn to the left turn as he used some very light force his shoulder to pushed the door open.
Razor then looked inside his room with awe as he went inside, then lifted his left foot to lightly kick the back of the room door shut. Once the door was shut, the lean vigilante tom-kat then place his left foot down leg as he used his eyes to scan inside the looked at the spacious room to analyze everything that was inside.
The room itself was very spacious as Razor looked to his left to see a huge queen size bed with a small oak table that had a small lamp on top of it. Then the lean-build masked vigilante look to his right to see a tall matching oak dresser with a fifty inch flat screen television on top of it.
After finishing looking at the room that he was staying for a long tome, Razor then looked at the middle of the room and saw a round table with twelve chairs then further on down as he saw a door that leads to another room. The lean-build masked vigilante walked slowly to the other door as he used his free left paw to grip the metal doorknob and gave it a counter clockwise turn to the right turn as he used some very light force from his right paw to pushed the door open.
Razor then looked inside his other room with the same awe as he viewed his room for the first time by sticking his head at the crack of the door.

The only thing that the lean-build masked vigilante notice was a very sizable jacuzzi-like bathtub with a shower head that look like it could rotate.
After Razor has looked all the everything that he has acquired by Hackle, the tears in his eyes has begin to from again. Every since Chance had left him, it made the lean-build masked vigilante tom-kat feeling a bit worthless.
No matter how much Razor can tell himself that everything would be okay, it did not feel that way because it had seems that whatever he tried to do, it was not enough to make his former partner stay with him.
Razor look at the queen size bed and the slowly walked to it as if the bed was calling the lean-build masked vigilante to come to it and lay down. Once the lean-build masked vigilante went to the queen side bed, he then pulled back the covers very lightly as he got in the huge bed and pulled the covers back to cover his face to allow the darkness to take hold.
As Razor was slowly drifted off to sleep, the image of Professor Hackle that suddenly came into his mind. The lean-build masked vigilante tom-kat smiled as he whispered softly at the image once it has faded.
"Thank you..." Jake said.
