Callie awoke to sound of the front door closing. Hoping out of bed, she went to investigate the sound. The hallway was dark, shadows danced around on the wall as the silver moonlight shined through the windows, giving her enough light to see where to go. Suddenly, she stopped. And she listened.

There was someone in the kitchen.

And when Callie reached the kitchen door, she pushed it open to see not Carl, but Jake standing before her in only his boxer shorts.

"Hello Callie. I've been waiting for this for a long time." Jake said walking up to her, his eyes fixed on her slender curves that were hidden from him by the thin black nightgown she wore.

"What have you been waiting for, Jake?" Callie asked him. Well, she got her answer, but in the most exciting way.

Jake then pushed Callie against the wall, kissing her fiercely. Callie felt her heart rate speed up as her body began to burn with desire-desire for her ex-boyfriend-and she loved it. Jake's hands traveled from her hips to the straps of her nightgown. He slid them off and Callie's nightgown came off, leaving her necked body for Jake to enjoy.

Their lips connected a second time as Jake picked Callie up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom. It would have been dark because none of the lights were on, but Jake could see clearly thanks to the silver moonlight that illuminated his path to the bedroom.

Then when Jake reached the bed, he laid Callie down and began to make love to her. Their moaning filled the room as they kissed, moaned and switched places during their love making.

"I love you, Callie," Jake said between moans.

Callie smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you too, Jake."

But their moment of passion ended when Carl busted into the room, armed with a shotgun! He killed Jake first by blowing his head off and then began beating Callie to death.

"AHHHH!" screamed Callie as she shot up from her bed. She was breathing heavily, before she quickly looked around. She was in her and Carl's bed, and he was gone. She gave a relived sigh, and laid back down.

That dream she had made her wonder about many things. Callie's thoughts were interrupted when her cell phone began to ring. "Hello?" she said answering the caller on the other end of the line.

It was Commander Feral. He sounded upset. "You better come down to Megakat hospital. Your ex-boyfriend was almost murdered."

At first Callie said nothing, then she flipped out. "Please tell me, is Jake alright! Is he hurt? Is his attacker in custody?" these questions kept coming with no end to them. So Feral told her what happened.

One hour before Callie got the call...

As Jake slept peacefully, his mother sat beside his bed, reading a book on house and lawn care. A few doctors came in now then to check Jake out, to see how he fairing. Whatever Carter gave him was restoring his health to the fullest. Max was doing even better himself, in fact, he was already walking around.

Janet looked up from her reading when the door opened and in stepped Jessica. "Oh, sorry. I didn't know you were still here." said Jessica with a smile.

"No problem at all," Janet said with a polite nod. Flipping a page in her book, she couldn't help but notice the way Jessica was acting as she pulled out a syringe. But that was when she saw it!

There, sticking out of her lab coat pocket was a small bottle of poison.

Jessica was going to kill her son. With all her might, Janet threw her book at Jessica. The book struck the nurse across the face, causing Jessica to drop the syringe. Both women looked at each other, shock and anger could be seen growing on their faces.

Outside Jake's room, Commander Feral was talking to Dr. Konway and Carter. The conversation was cut short when they heard Jake cry out in agony. All three kats rushed into the room to see Jake writhing on the floor in pain, his hand over his left eye as blood ran down his cheek.

"Grab her!" Carter shouted as he saw Janet get thrown through the glass window by Jessica. The attacking nurse took off through the broken window as Commander Feral helped Dr. Konway with Jake, leaving Carter to chase after Jessica alone.

Through doors and hallways Carter ran, keeping Jessica in sight. She turned a corner and made her way down a flight of stairs. The warrior smiled at her speed and endurance, Jessica could really move fast. With a running leap, Carter landed on the hand rails and slid down to the bottom of the stairs.

As he reached the end of the rails, he jumped and landed behind Jessica. "Stop!" he shouted, pulling out a hand held crossbow from under his cape. "In the name of Queen Callista I order you to stop!" His order was also death threat, because he would kill Jessica without a blink of the eye.

Jessica stopped dead in her tracks, her feet felt like they glued to floor as she stood there. Slowly Carter advanced toward her, still keeping a close eye on her body movements. The she-kat knew this would be the end for her, but also for Carl.

Suddenly Jessica's partner came to her aid. He drew his gun and aimed at the warrior, then squeezed the trigger. Carter had seen him in the corner of his eye and threw himself behind a nearby sofa. The smell of gunpowder and smoke filled Carter's nose as the other tom continued to fire more rounds off at the sofa.

Carter was trapped.

Then another shot rang out. Looking up, Carter saw Commander Feral standing with his gun in hand. The commander's eyes were locked on his target, he fired again, this time nailing the gunman in the left leg.

The wounded tom then turned and fled back the way he came, leaving Jessica there as two Enforcers rushed in and arrested her.

But as Commander Feral got things under control, Jessica's partner was heading for the back exit. He would have made it, but someone else was waiting for him. Max came bursting through the door, sending the other tom falling backward, but he quickly got before being punched in the face. The sudden impact from the blow sent him flying into the wall.

Jessica's partner was trying to talk, his speech hampered by the damage Max had done to his jaw, but he managed to get out, "Don't hurt me...give me a chance, man. I've been shot twice today...!"

Max couldn't believe what he was hearing, and he grabbed the tom by the neck. "What about my boyfriend, Josh? My cousin, Jake. Did you give them a chance...well did you?" The tom didn't answer Max, which only made his anger boil.

"Answer me!" Max shouted, but then there was a loud gang. Max looked down and saw the tom who he was still holding by the neck had managed to get his gun and fired a round off into his stomach.

"See you in hell," the wounded tom laughed as he placed the barrel of his gun to Max's head, but...

BANG! Another shot rang out from Commander Feral's pistol. And this time, he shot to kill.

One hour later after Callie got the call...

Callie couldn't not believe what she was hearing as Jessica confessed to everything, from her secret love affairs with Carl, to the orders he gave her to kill Jake, and much more. She wanted to believe that what she said about Carl was a lie, but when Commander Feral looked at the footage from the hospital security videos, everything Jessica said had been proven true.

"I'm so sorry, Jake," Callie sobbed as she held his hand. "It is my fault that this happened to you."

Jake looked at her, his wounded eye was covered by a bandage, but he smiled. "It's not your fault," he said, running his fingers through Callie's golden hair. His words lifted her spirit a little, and a smile was seen for a brief minute.

And after that day, news of Carl's wicked deed was made public, and the whole city was out looking for him. Tips were coming in from all over the city, there was no way to hide, but Carl had returned to his old employer.

"Well, will take me back as one of your loyal henchmen?" he asked with a bow to his dark master who was hidden by the shadows.

"Yes," Dark Kat said as he stepped into the light, "because I need you to help me and Lord Darkclaw take out Queen Callista when she gives the deputy mayor her blessing next month on the night of the Hunter's moon." Dark Kat laughed and then the other Omegas joined in laughing.

Carl finally could breath a sigh of relief, being grateful to his leader, he bowed and took the oath of the Omega once again. Though he made the oath this time, there was no doubt he had just used up the last bit of mercy and pity Dark Kat had for him. Leaving the Omegas a second time would be the end of his life, and he wanted to live long enough to see Jake Clawson dead.

The next morning, Jake was released from the hospital, his mother and father were walking next to him, smiling. "Oh, Jake, I'm so happy about you getting to come home," his mother said, as four Enforcers gave the Clawsons some gifts from the gift shop.

Jake's father eyed all the gifts. There get well cards, assorted candies, even a small pink teddy bear. He cocked his head as he heard the sound of a eingin revving up in the parking lot. Driver must not know this is a quiet zone! Johnathan thought, then turned to his son and spoke. "Jake, I just want to say that you are the best son that I could ever have. . ."

But Jake wasn't listening to his father, his mind drifted off and something caught the corner of his eye. He look over his shoulder to see a red SUV driving toward them. Then the passenger side window opened and sticking his head out was Carl Lockman. But what Jake was now looking at was the UZI aimed at him.

"Jake, look out!" Johnathan yelled as he pushed his son out of the way.

Carl fired the UZI at his target. "See you next time, Jake!" he laughed, fired the remaining rounds at Jake who was still on the ground. Then, Carl reloaded a new clip and begun firing again.

Everyone outside the hospital ducked as rounds were fired from the UZI. Soon the red SUV drove off and disappeared into city traffic.

Jake got up after everything was quiet and brushed off the dirt from his clothing, but then it dawned on Jake that his father and mother wasn't asking if he was hurt. "Mom? Dad?" Jake said aloud, as he looked around for his parents and saw them still lying on the ground. At first he thought they were going to get up, but then he saw the blood pooling around their bodies, it was clear for him to see-his parents were dead!
