I do not own them, just Kat. Happy Easter and Passover!

The next morning brought sunshine and birds singing. Kat sipped her coffee and looked at the number again, finally calling it and setting up an appointment to see the house. She sighed softly and smiled a little. Hopefully if a few days she'd be out of here and starting a new part of her life.

As she walked out her door, she almost tripped over a box left outside. She looked around to see if anyone was there and looked for a card. Finding none, she slowly opened the box, looking inside. Inside the box was a pale blue dress that looked like it hung off the shoulder, under it were smaller boxes, containing matching jewelry and hair clips with dangling crystals. She quickly closed the box, now seeing who it was from and pushed it into her door, walking away quickly.

Outside children ran around laughing, enjoying the weather. Looking at her watch she went to the bus stop, waiting for it to come. "I just hope he stops following me." She looked at the bus as it came into view. Boarding it as it came to a stop she put money into the slot and sat down. A few stops later a man in a trench coat boarded and sat a few rows behind her, watching her.

Negaduck watched Kat. She had no idea it was him, but why was she heading into the city. It was unlike her, considering she rarely went there unless she had to renew her license. 'The must be it.' he thought. He would pay a visit to her bar tonight. He loved making her uncomfortable in her 'safe zones'. Though, he was furious that she had simply pushed his gift inside her apartment. How dare she simply look at it like it was a common thing. His eye twitched as he looked down at the gun in his hands. He would make her listen.

Kat applied her lipstick, looking in the drivers large rear view mirror, noticing for the first time the man sitting a little behind her, watching her. She was hoping it was her imagination, but was wrong when he moved a little, seeing a flash of yellow from under the coat. Quickly she looked at where they were and pulled the quick stop cord running off the bus. The driver noticed at as she left the other passenger get up to leave as well and figured that was the reason she bolted. He drove off quickly, knocking the man off his feet, keeping an eye on him.

Kat ran down the busy street and looked back, seeing the bus take off, and Negaduck falling on his ass. She slowed down to a quick walk, knowing she was going to be late now for her appointment. She just hoped the lady would wait for her to get there, wishing she had a cell phone.

After an hour walk she finally made it to the street the woman had told her over the phone. It was a nice neighborhood. She walked down the sidewalk, stopping outside a small house with a for sale sign on it. Walking up to it she looked at the small garden of flowers, the nice lawn and a tree in the middle. It was perfect. She didn't hear the woman behind her till she heard her chuckle. Turning she saw a woman in her late thirty's with her blonde hair up in a roll on her head wearing a blue skirt suit.

"You must be Kat. I'm Binky. I was happy to get your call this morning, but was worried you had forgotten how to get here." Kat too her hand shacking it. "Oh, no I had...car trouble. I had to walk to get here." Binky nodded and lead her inside. It may have looked small on the outside, but it was a good size inside. From what Binky had told her it was a two bedroom with a living room and kitchen and full basement. After an hour they walked down a two doors to what she found to be Binky's house. Herb was watching TV with Honker. Herb looked over, noticing Kat. " Hey Binky, this the new neighbor?" "Oh Herb, we're still talking it over." She lead Kat into the kitchen, pouring her a cup of coffee. For the next few hours they talked about the neighborhood, and the price of the house.

Drake looked out his living room window seeing Binky walked out of her house. He flinched inwardly, thinking she was heading over to talk to him. He was surprised for a moment when he saw Kat walk out behind her. He watched them shack hands as Binky handed her a set of keys. Launchpad walked up next to him. "Guess Binky sold their renter house finally. But did you have to tell Kat about it. If Negaduck finds her here, we'll all be in trouble." Drake rolled his eyes. "Don't worry about it Launchpad. Kat knows better then to leave anything behind for him to find. Anyway, I can keep an eye on her from here. I don't know if she is or isn't with Negs." He watched her walk to the house and walk inside it.

Kat looked at her new house. It cost her most of her savings for the down payment, but hopefully her apartment would sell and she could afford it easier. But it was worth every penny to get away from him and finally be safe. Now she had to figure out how to move everything without him seeing.
