Part Twenty-Six
Tugger was driving like a mad man, taking the corners as close as he could to keep his speed. Mungojerrie had grown semi used to the mad driving and was trying not to get sick when he looked out the window.
"'Oly shit! Yer drivin' kinda fast, Tuggah. Oi 'ope yew don't get pulled ovah oh sumfing..." Munkustrap looked back at the tabby tom with a grin.
"If he does, we'll explain that someone is about to get raped." The silver tom said, his green eyes flashing with anger.
A cruel smile was spread across Griddlebone's red-slicked pouty lips. The blue corset she was wearing pushed up her ample bust, and as she walked her jeans strained against her curved thighs. Leaning against Macavity's shoulder, Gridd wrapped her arms around him.
"Oh what fun it is to play with a trusting queen's young mind." She sang mockingly to the tune of 'Dashing Through the Snow'. Demeter's green eyes sparked with anger, and turned up to Macavity's face. The words she spit were stiffled against the gag, and Griddlebone chuckled. Putting a white paw up to her ear, she blinked innocently.
"I'm sorry dear, we can't hear you. Try to speak up?" The tied queen strained against the binding and snarled at the pair in front of her. Macavity wore a facade of indifference, but the pain in his eyes and the position of his ears said otherwise. Tears formed at the corner of Demeter's eyes as she tried to spit useless curses around the gag. Griddlebone giggled with glee and rested her head against Macavity's chest.
"This is great fun, wouldn't you say love?" Turning her chin up, Griddlebone welcomed the kiss Macavity placed on her mouth. Demeter snarled again, but this time, she swung her body and slammed her feet into Griddlebone's side. A gasp of surprise and pain escaped the queen's lips as Griddlebone was propelled out of Macavity's arms and into the wall. Her head smacked roughly against the concrete and the lovely white queen fell to the ground in an unconcious heap. Macavity's eyes widened, and his tail slashed angrily. Turning to Demeter, Macavity back handed her.
"How dare you!" He snarled angrily, grabbing Demeter's bruising chin and forcing her to look up at him. Fear paled her when Macavity's evident fury hit her full force. He tore her shirt, sending buttons flying every direction. The ginger tom's paw was on the hem of her skirt when the door opened and shadows marred the light.
"Hey Mac. Better take a good step back." Tugger said, stepping into the room. Munkustrap's form blocked the doorway and his eyes went to Demeter. Tugger bent down to check Griddlebone and he tsked.
"Geez Mac. Beat up Gridd and rape your girlfriend. That's a lovely record." Macavity snarled, launching himself at Tugger's prone form. Munkustrap didn't move quickly enough and Macavity's paw connected with Tugger's cheek.
"Don't touch her!" Macavity snarled, kicking Tugger in the chest and scooping Griddlebone into his arms. He backed up until his legs hit the bed, his green eyes flashing dangerously. Munkustrap helped Tugger up, and the Maine Coon dabbed his paw against his lip. Seeing blood, he chuckled.
"Nice punch, Mac." He commented dryly. The ginger tom snarled, putting Griddlebone down on the bed while keeping his eyes on his old friends.
"Now what does it come down to, old friends? The three of us having a showdown?" He asked sarcastically, walking back to where Demeter was standing. With his eyes on the two in front of him, Macavity failed to notice Mungojerrie climbing in the window at the back of the old building. Macavity's arms went around Demeter's bound form, and she shivered with disgust. His lips coursed down her neck, and he chuckled when Munkustrap held Tugger back.
"Aren't you going to save Demeter?" Mac asked, nipping at Demeter's chin. She struggled gently, her eyes locked imploringly on those of Tugger. He went to take a step forward, but Munkustrap's arm was firmly in his way.
"Oy Mac!" Macavity jolted, turning towards the voice behind him. Mungojerrie's paw connected with the side of his face, hitting the ginger tom hard enough to knock him to the ground, unconcious. Shaking his paw, Jerrie looked up at Munkustrap.
"Dat 'urt, it did!" He said with a lopsided grin. The silver tom grinned, chuckling as he shook his head. Tugger moved around Munkustrap's arm and started to untie Demeter. When she was untied, the tabby queen fell into Mungojerrie's arms weakly, clinging gently to him with fear. Her eyes were locked on Macavity's still figure and she swallowed a lump in her throat.
"Is he... dead?" She asked cautiously. Mungojerrie hugged her gently and took her chin gently. Turning her eyes to him, he shook his head.
"Jus' knocked out fer a bit, luv." He said, smiling gently. Shakily, Demeter stood up and wrapped her arms around herself. Munkustrap took off his jacket and offered it to her, but she shook her head.
"I'll be fine..." She said, but Tugger caught her as she fainted.
"Let's go back. Jem'll be worried." Tugger said, the fury evident in his voice. Looking directly at Mungojerrie, Tugger's lips twitched.
"You did good. Now call the cops and get these two picked up." He said, carrying Demeter out to his car.
