Fallen Angel Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I do not own Swat Kats.
Callie eyes was opening very slowly, when her eyes fully open and she notice she was laying on a bed, she then try to focus but her glasses were not on her. She said to herself, " Ugh, where's my glasses? I really need them." Callie then started to look for her glasses and she found it in her pocket. She put on her glasses and started to focus. Then she looks around the area that she woke up in.
All the walls were milky white, the ceiling was white, even the bed sheets were satin white. Except the doors, the doors are made out of wood. Callie started to look for her pocketbook but her pocketbook was nowhere in sight. " Oh no! Now no one can help me get out of here. Not even the Swat Kats. Now how can I get out of here? Waite a minute. How can I have pockets if I have a dress on?" Callie look at her body to see what she has on; she had her everyday pink work outfit on her, "Hey! how can I be in my work suite? I remember I was wearing a white gown...Ohh! Now I remember first I was hearing voices, then I started to fell pain, after that my nose bleed, then I cough up a lot of blood and I felt cold and I had a horrible pain all over my body. Then everything blanked out." Callie shook her head in disbelief and said, " Wow I had a wonderful evening, I'm going crazy, I cough up blood, I felt excruciating pain all over my body, and I'm in a strangers weird room sleeping on their bed. I hope I did not do anything I'll regret later. Or they did something funny." Callie climbed out of the unfamiliar bed. She also notices that her pink work shoes are on too. She then started to figure out which door to open. " I guess I'll pick this one. It's right in front of me." Callie opens the wooden door that was in front of her. She slowly walks inside.
Callie look around the area she walk into and her eyes widen with surprised, and she said with glee " Hey! I remember this place!" The area Callie walked into was outside the First MKC Bank. It was around summertime because the trees and grass were dark green. Callie carefully walks inside the revolving doors of the bank. Inside the first floor of the building were about twenty teller booths. On the second floor was a bunch of offices and desks. Then she sees a women with round glasses, long blond hair, and beautiful green eyes, Callie was in shock and said. " Hey. Is that me?" The other Callie was impatiently waiting in a long line, holding a white envelope in her hand. The other Callie said impatiently, " Today! Geez, I wish they hurry up!" The other Callie was impatiently tapping her left toe on the marble floor and looking at her wristwatch. Callie then walked up to the other Callie and said " Hello? Excuse me. I never knew I had a twin sister before."
Callie's twin did not hear her.
" Hello. Hello? Hello! Can't you here me! I'm right in your ear!"
Callie's twin did not here her still.
" Hey! Can you here me!"
Callie push her twin very lightly, Callie's hand went through her twin body like a phantom.
" I'm- I'm a ghost!? No it can't be?! I 'm not dead, I am NOT DEAD!"
Callie ran up further into the line, saw a large middle aged she kat, and screamed "HEY! Can YOU HEAR ME! Hello! Hello! Wait! She may speak Spanish. Hola!" The large women still did not notice the frighten Callie. Callie thought to herself aloud, " No! Maybe French. Yeah French!" Callie then started speaking French to the best of her ability, "Bonjor! Je m'appelle Callie Briggs. Et toi Mademoiselle?" (Translation: Hello! My name is Callie Briggs. And you Miss?) The large women still did not respond. Callie sadly walk through the bodies of unsuspecting cats, she sat on a black chair and slumped. " What a way to go Callie girl. I died right on national television." Callie then looks at her twin, and she notices something about her, " Waite a minute. I use to have round pink glasses like that when I became a deputy mayor two years ago, something happened to them and I got black glasses now. So how can my twin have the same exact old glasses unless." Then she had a thought and said " Unless if I'm in the past! Therefore, that means that my twin sister is actually my past me. That means I'M NOT DEAD! YES!" Callie eyes brighten like a kitten on Christmas day. She jump right out of the chair and acting like a High School cheerleader dancing, jumping, and chanting, "Calico Briggs is still in the game guys! HOORAY!" Then she did a cheer while dancing.
"Shake it to the left!
Shake it to the right!
Stand up sit down!
I'm still alive! YEAH!" She jumps into the air and did a split right on the marble floor. Amazed She stand up from her split and brushed her self off. Surprised, " Wow! I though I couldn't do that anymore, I guess I can still." Callie then notices two hooded men with pistols franticly rushing into the revolving doors at the same time. The two hooded men were caught in the revolving door, then they finally freed themselves from the door, and aim their pistols at all the cats.
" OK! Dis is a stick-up!" The short robber said.
" Duh, Everybode on da floor right now!" Said the large robber.
" And give us all ya money! Or else!" both the robbers yelled.
All the cats in the building dropped quickly to the floor also the past Callie. Callie was the only one standing. " Hey! They can't shoot me! I mean here! I mean my past me! I wont exist anymore!" Callie tried to push and scream at the two robbers but the two did not here her, or moved by Callie's many attempts of pushing them to the ground. " Oh no! I forgot I can't touch anybody because I just go through them. Or talk to anybody." Callie was walking in circles thinking aloud while the robbers were robbing the bank. " Ok. If this is the past, then why am I still alive? Unless something happened to stop these guys." Then Callie heard a window shattered. Callie and the past Callie quickly turned around to look what crash though the large window, both Callies saw two cats standing side by side pointing their weapons at the bad guys. Callie said happily, "HEY! The Swat Kats!" However, the other Callie stared at the two strangers and said, " Who are you?" The large light colored cat said, " Were the Swat Kats lady!" The small brown colored cat added " Yeah! We heard the alarm outside the building and since we don't like people breaking the law and hurting the citizens of Mega Kat City." Both of the cats aimed their weapons at the two robbers and said together, "Were gonna kick these two robbers tails to jail!"
" Oh NO! It's those Swat Kat guys!" the small bank robber yelled in fright. He franticly looks around, pick up the past Callie by the hair, and pointed the pistol near her. " Look hears Swat Kats! I got dis pretty lady as a hostage! Any closer and I pump her fulla lead! Ya got that!" The short robber franticly said. The past Callie was squirming and trying to let him get loose of her hair, screaming angrily " Let go of me you creep! You're hurting me!"
" Shawdup lady! All right!!" The small robber yelled at the Swat Kats " Ya guys are gonna let us go! Or I'm gonna do it! I can do it too! Just pull the trigger and POW! Now I don't think ya want that ta happen!"
" Oh no we wouldn't want that to happen, right T- Bone." the brown colored cat said.
" Yeah Razor, wouldn't that be horrible, very horrible, were just gonna walk outside and let you two go with all the money. Good bye everyone were leaving you."
" You guys are on your own." Razor said. Both the cats walked out the bank through the revolving doors. " Uhh Junior. I guess there really gone."
" Yeah, George lets get the heck outta hear!" Junior drops the past Callie on to the floor, took all the money, and both robbers ran into the revolving door. A loud shot was heard from outside the bank, a gray gooey substance covered the revolving doors causing it to spread inside the door and completely stop, with the two robbers inside.
The two cats jump back into the Bank through the already broken window, look at all the people and smile. "Man how stupid can a cat get?" Razor said, " Hey you though we will leave you guys?" said T- Bone. Razor said coolly, " We'll never do that, now everyone calmly exit-"
All the cats scream and panic, they all ran out of the bank through the large broken window almost toppling over Razor and T- Bone, and knocking over the past Callie, Callie didn't have to move because she had the ability of going through cats. All that was left was shattered glass, and paper all over the floor. Razor and T-Bone pin themselves on the wall to protect themselves from the herd of cats running for their lives. The past Callie was lying on the floor on a position to protect herself from the heard of cats. Also, Callie was just standing wondering what will happen next. T-Bone and Razor jogged to the past Callie. T- Bone grab the past Callie's hand and picked her up.
" Are you ok Miss? You're a little shaken up."
" Oh, uh yeah I'm ok. Someone knocked me over and my glasses flown off my face, can you help me find them."
" Is this is your glasses madam?" Razor gave the past Callie a pair of pink glasses, the lens was broken, and the frame for the glasses snap in half.
" Oh no! I can't believe what a day I'm having! I was hold hostage, I didn't get my check cashed, my glasses are broken, and I am completely blind. Oh well, at least I'm not hurt. Hey, how did you guys get here so fast?"
" Oh we have a jet, it's called the Turbo Kat." Razor said
" Yeah, its almost faster then a Enforcer jet. I'm the Pilot and Razor is the Gunner." T- Bone acknowledged.
" Are you guys a part of the Enforcers?"
" No, were what Commander Ferral calls vigilantes." Said Razor.
" Phew, well at least your on the good guys side. So does anyone call you to say if there is an emergency or something in the city?"
Razor and T- Bone shook their head " Naw we don't know who can be our informant yet. Were thinking about someone who is close with the city." Said Razor.
The past Callie then said, " Well I'm very close with the city. I am the Deputy Mayor, and I will be glad to help you. A lot of stuff been happening, and sometimes it is too overwhelming for the enforcers. Were dealing with a lot of these new types of bad guys nowadays. So how can I contact you?"
" How' bout me and T- Bone can make some kind of a distress signal, or a pager. Every time you push the button we get a signal, and you can speak in it too! Oh it would be cool-"
" Hey Buddy you can figure out how to make the distress signal pager thingy at base, we better get out of here before Ferral finds us and go crazy. Well see ya Miss. Uhh."
The past Callie smiled, " Briggs. Miss. Briggs."
" Well see you again Miss. Briggs. Bye." Said Razor. He was the first to exit the building by jumping out of the large broken window; T-Bone was walking to the broken window to leave until, " Hey! I don't want to go with you too!" T- Bone look back and he just notice that he was holding the past Callie's hand still. Embarrass T-Bone said, " Oh! I'm sorry Miss. Briggs!" T-Bone let go of her hand. He ran to the exit and waved goodbye. The past Callie stared at the two heroes said quietly " Thank you guys." Callie exit through window and started to walk to the wooden door, " Then a day later they mailed the pager to my office. I wonder why I don't remember this day? Especially this day." Callie was about to open the door until she was standing in complete blackness. A white light was over Callie " Hey! What's happening now!? Where the heck am I?" Callie heard a little girls voice saying, " You remember those days but not ours." Callie looks around in fright and said, " Who? Who are you? What do you want? Have I heard you before?" The little girls voice made a sigh and said " You don't even remember yourself anymore huh! Ok I'll give you three chances to figure out who am I"
Callie thought for a while and said, " Are you my cousin Michele?"
" No. One."
" Ok Ok are you Sally?"
" NO! Your wrong again! Two Callie. Last Chance."
" Ok. I don't know! I quit!"
" Geez you quitter! Ok I'll walk up to the light and I'll tell you who I am!"
Callie then heard light footsteps coming towards her to the light. She then saw the person who was talking to her. Callie gasps " Its- it's me, as I was a little kitten."
The little girl was a carbon copy of Callie. Except her hair was in pigtails with little pink bows in it, also like all kittens she had a short tail, something that Callie grown out of when she grew up. She was wearing a pink jumper with a white T-shirt with pink sneakers, and round pink glasses.
" Boy, I bet you fell pretty stupid right now. Geez not knowing who am I. I'm you. Stupid."
" HEY! You are you calling stupid!" Callie snap back
" Well let's see shall we, were the only ones here, and I'm not calling myself stupid, so I guess its you then. Stupid" She stuck her toung out.
Callie was about to tell her younger self off until she remember ' Oh yeah, mom told me when I was young I use to have a mouth like that. I'll just ignore myself, I mean her.'
Callie then asks her younger self " Ok. Can you tell me what is happening to me, why did I collapse on stage, you said I'm in my head? And what can I call you so we won't get confused? Since we both have the same name."
" Well I may be little kid but I do know what's happening to me, I mean you. I was going to name you Stupid Callie but you can call me uhh, Little Callie."
" All right Little Callie, but do you know how we can get out of this place? Its kind of creepy."
" All right just follow me. Hold my hand and don't let go so you wont get lost okay."
Callie and Little Callie hold hands and they walk together into the darkness. Then all of a sudden they walked into a hallway that was dimly lighted with green doors. Callie looks around the dimly lighted hallway and said, "Where am I Little Callie? Do you know this place?" Little Callie put her hand into her shirt and pulled out a metal beaded rope with a key on it. "You should know, this is were you use to live." She put the key into the socket and turns it to open the door. Both of the Callie walks into their home. Callie then started to remember the layout of the apartment.
" I'm starting to remember now, the kitchen use to, I think, be in the back, the living room is where were standing, and the bedrooms are in the back!" Callie jogs into the hallway and open a door, " And my room was here! And I could see the alleyway down my window! Callie open the window and poke her head outside to look, then she quickly put her head inside and close the window " Oh yeah I forgot, there was a lot of trash and it really smelled I guess that's why I keep it closed." Callie then saw a little twin bed with white sheets and a little doll that resembles a baby cat. Callie sat on the little bed, and holds the little cat doll preciously in her hands. " I think that my biological parents didn't have that much money, and they were always sick. I remember I use to play with this doll to death." Callie then start to remember why she is with Little Callie, " I can't play with this thing now." Callie put the doll safely back on the pillow, " Now tell me Little Callie what is happening to me? Am I dieing, or I dead already?"
Little Callie sat next to her older self, she explains to the best of her ability what's happening to Callie.
Katie finally woke up from her beauty sleep. She looks around the room and found out that T-Bone and Ferral walk out and Razor was watching TV. She also remembered a gray teenage shekat with dark brown hair stepped inside the room saying she is looking for Callie's room, also a doctor name Zack came to talk to her if anybody sprayed something on her, but she assured the doctor nobody was near her except Callie. She went back into the waiting room and went back to sleep. Katie stands up from the couch and look outside the window, she saw that the whole block which is the size of the hospital was blocked off from traffic and pedestrians. Katie started to pace around the room back and forth, thinking, and pondering.
' Maybe it's a genetic thing? On the other hand, she could be poisoned. But we didn't eat anything, and nothing was poisoned because a lot of the cats ate and didn't drop dead. I even drank some water and nothing happened to me. I don't even fell weird or sick'
Katie look at the brown colored Swat Kat and said, " Hey. Razor"
He turns his head to look at the sand colored cat.
" Where's Ferral? And T-Bone still is lookin' for a machine?"
" A doctor pulled Ferral out of the room to talk to him. And T-Bone is still looking for a machine."
Katie was curious at what Razor was watching on the television.
" What'cha watchin' Razor? Cartoons?"
" No, just the news."
Katie sat next to Razor to watch the news with him.
" So if anyone wanted to try to kill or hurt Miss. Briggs, why do ya think they will do it?"
" Ransom, Vengeance, or someone has to be crazy."
" Yeah that's probably one of the reasons."
Both cats continue to watch TV. Razor looks behind him and saw Katie's tail.
" What happened to your tail? It looks like it was smashed between two rocks."
Katie look at her tail and remembered it was smash between the doors in the elevator. It had a small cut with dried blood over it. Oddly it didn't hurt.
" Aw crud. Um excuse me do you have a band-aid on you?"
Razor checks all his pockets, found a small white bandage, and hand it to Katie.
" Here ya go."
Katie took the bandage and tied it around her wound.
" Names Katrina Katiez, if you don't know my name, but everyone calls me Katie. What's yours?" Razor opens his mouth to say his real name, until he saved himself.
'Hey! It was just a trick to find out who I am.'
Razor said casually." Very funny. Thought I was going to say my real name huh."
Katie was finishing wrapping her wound, " It almost worked though." Katie gave a grin and said, "But now I know you have a real name, instead of Razor."
" Think you're so smart huh?" Razor asks.
" Yeah. I'm smarter then you." Katie replied.
She finishes tying the bandage, she look at Razor and said, and "I'll mark today the worst day of my life. My car broke down on me and I had to take the subway. You know, I lived here for twenty-three years of my life, and I hate taking the subway. When I got on their wasn't a seat and I had to stand all the way from fifth street, to the hotel! Then I found out I left my sunglasses, at my apartment, I got my tail smashed in the elevator and to top it all off I screwed up protecting the Deputy Mayor and I may get the pink slip."
Razor stair at the orange haired cat and said, " Well at least your tail wasn't cut off." Both cats stared at each other and laugh. " Yeah, I'll look more like a freak without my tail. Imagine me walking around the street without a tail with this." Katie pointed to her earring accident. "I wouldn't even have to say freeze Enforcers! The bad guys would just look, point at me, and die laughing!"
Razor look at Katie who war laughing hard at the though of her without a tail. And said " You'll look pretty anyway with or without a tail."
Katie herd what Razor said and completely stop laughing. There was a silence.
" Uh.. Thanks Razor for the complement Razor." Katie and Razor both stand up and Razor told Katie " Uhh.. I think we had better look for Ferral and T-Bone to see if any of the doctor have an idea what's wrong with Miss. Briggs."
Katie shook her head " Y-y-yeah. We better go look for them."
The Swat Kat and the Enforcer walk out the waiting room, both cats thought at the same time.
'I can't believe I said that to her!'
'I can't believe he said that to me!'
" So you're telling me that the Deputy Mayor was poisoned." Ferral ask with concern.
"Yes Commander Ferral. Mali and Zack screened Miss. Briggs blood and told me it is a chemical called CJ84 inside her blood sample. When I look inside the microscope there were these crystals inside her blood. Also her dress had the poison all over it too."
" So what does this poison does?" Ferral said to the doctor
Dr. Harrison look through her cluttered notes trying to hold them together and pulled out a sheet of paper. Her thick black rim glasses keep sliding off her face onto her nose. With one finger, she slides it back to her face.
" Well, what it is really is an poison, you cant taste it, has no color, But it has the sent of a rose. In addition, it is from a poisonous plant in the rainforest in South America. The locals call it Fallen Angel because the way it affects and kills the person who is in contact. But since people still cut the rainforest down for wood it is very rare, possibly even wiped off the face of the earth."
" What's the effect?"
Dr. Harrison shook her head and sadly said " Well for the guy that is in contact with this poison, I don't even wish it on my enemies. First, you stat to think someone is talking to you like a dead relative or yourself at a younger age. Then you fell a dull pain in your head, because your lung is filled with the poison inside, thus oxygen is almost cut off from you brain. Also because of the poison, you start to bleed through your nose. And the poison starts to attack your lung causing blood to fill up." Ferral said to himself " That's why she started to bleed all over."
Dr. Harrison continued," Sadly that's not all. It causes your pulse to slow down, you also can't keep yourself under control, you start to panic, the poison drops your temperature to low levels and hypothermic shock."
Ferral look at Dr. Harrison and ask, " Please god tell me that is all."
" There is one last thing. Even though we have her in stable condition, the poison actually targets your brain to shut down, you'll start to forget your memories and you will become brain dead. Good thing this poison comes in three phases. Because if it didn't she would have been dead already."
" Does this thing have a cure, antidote, or something?"
" Yes, but the antidote is in South America, but it is very rare and deep inside the jungle, you have to look through the whole jungle and that will take a long time. It's very hard to make both the poison and the antidote"
Ferral ask Dr. Harrison " Why is it so hard to make the poison and the antidote?" "Because if you screw up it will explode, don't ask me why it will explode that what it does." She said. "The only person I know who can make the antidote by hand without killing themselves is a doctor know now as Dr. Viper. He knew how to make the poison too."
" Dr. Viper! If that psycho could make this poison, then he could of. Wait, This isn't his style, he would rather turn the city into one big swamp."
" Yeah, but it would be a reason why he did it."
" Hey Ferral. Ya got any news 'bout our Sleeping Beauty?" Katie ask. She and Razor walk up to Commander Ferral.
" Yeah, she was poisoned, Dr. Viper might have did it. But we don't know how. Its tasteless, you cant see it, but it smell like roses."
Katie said to herself " It smells like roses."
T-Bone walking down the hallway sipping a can of soda until he sees Razor, Katie, Ferral, and a doctor with glasses.
" What's happenin'?" T-Bone ask
" Miss. Briggs was poisoned after all." Razor said.
A tomcat ran up to the five cats almost sliding into them and yelled,
" Yo guys! There's some crazy weird looking cat on TV. He said he wants the you guys!" He points to the Swat Kats. He continued "And he has the antidote. Come quick!"
All the cats ran inside the waiting room, all of the staff that work inside the hospital, including Sally was looking at the 19-inch color TV with wide eyes.
" T-t-this is Ann G-G-Gora Kats E-Eye News. A-A-Achoo!" She was holding a microphone wearing a light blue robe. Everyone can tell she just came out of the shower because all of her fur was wet. She is shivering and stuttering because she was cold. W-W-were on t-t-top of the Mega Kat Towers, in D-D-Downtown Mega Kat City. T-These two c-c-creeps abduct our c-cameraman B-Buster and me from our homes!" The camera was snatch away from Buster; everyone can here Buster in the background yelling at the guy who snatch his camera, " Hey! Give back my camera! It's delicate equipment Man!"
Happily, the large cat said, " Hey George look I'm on TV! Hi everyone!"
George slapped the big cat silly " Ya idiot! Boss said nobody s'pose ta know who we is Junior! Now point the camera at Dr. Viper or I'll slap ya again!"
The camera turned around and all the viewers can see is just a close up of Dr. Viper's nose. " Back up you idiot!" yelled Dr. Viper.
" Ok Boss." Junior walk back a few steps, the camera focus and now the camera can see the whole body of Dr. Viper holding two testubes, one clear like water and one green.
"Swat Kats! I got the antidote and the poison right in my hands! If you don't come here in a half a hour I am going to douse this poison all over these two!" Dr. Viper rapped Ann and Buster tightly with his snakelike tail. " You saw what happened with Miss. Deputy Mayor when she was in contact with the poison, imagine what will happen with these two!"
Ann's was beginning to get a cold her nose was congested she couldn't breath through her nose, she yelled, " L-let us go! If you p-p-pore that stuff all over us- A-a-achoo!"
" C'mon man, let us loose! Annie's getting sick!"
" Shut up! I do not care if she sick, this poison can kill the most horrible way! It's worse then some common cold! Now I want the Swat Kats to come to the Mega Kat Towers in half an hour. No jets, no guns, no enforcers!"
The transmission was cut off.
T-Bone was frustrated, " Aww man! What are we gonna do now! No jet."
" No guns." Added Razor.
" Also no Enforcers." Included Ferral.
Sally slumped on the couch and said, " Oh no. I wish there were two Swat Kats."
Both Swat Kats look at the teenage cat and said " You got a good idea!"
Sally blushed " I-I do! Thanks a lot."
" C'mon Razor we need to the store!" said T-Bone.
" Wait! Why do you need to go to a store! What store ya goin' to!? What's the plan!? And can I help?" Katie ask.
Razor and T-Bone stared at Katie.
" Hey T-Bone you think she can-"
" Yeah! Ferral can too! C'mon we got to go! Ferral, Katie Meat us at the Mega Kat Towers."
" Ferral I forgot to tell you about more information about Miss. Briggs!" Dr. Harrison yelled.
" What is it?"
"You remember about the three phases I told you about. Well Miss. Briggs is ending phase two. Which is the comma."
" So how long would phase three will come?"
" Well in about a few hours. It can happen any hour really. You guys better hurry getting that antidote because it has a fifty fifty chance of working once it enters phase three. If that happens, we will try to slow the process down if you guys are late."
" Ok Miss. We'll be right back." Ferral said. He pulled out a radio and said in it, " I want a chopper as fast as you can on the rooftop of MKC Memorial Hospital ASAP." Razor and T-Bone took the elevator that leads to the rooftop. Sally ran out of the waiting room and yelled down the hall " Hey T-Bone do you think my sisters gonna make it, I'll think I'll go crazy if she-"
T-Bone yelled back at Sally before the elevator doors close " Yeah! Callie's a fighter she'll make it!" The elevator doors closed.
Well that's end of Chapter three! Chapter four is the last. How did you like chapter 3?
Jersey Girl
Disclaimer: I do not own Swat Kats.
Callie eyes was opening very slowly, when her eyes fully open and she notice she was laying on a bed, she then try to focus but her glasses were not on her. She said to herself, " Ugh, where's my glasses? I really need them." Callie then started to look for her glasses and she found it in her pocket. She put on her glasses and started to focus. Then she looks around the area that she woke up in.
All the walls were milky white, the ceiling was white, even the bed sheets were satin white. Except the doors, the doors are made out of wood. Callie started to look for her pocketbook but her pocketbook was nowhere in sight. " Oh no! Now no one can help me get out of here. Not even the Swat Kats. Now how can I get out of here? Waite a minute. How can I have pockets if I have a dress on?" Callie look at her body to see what she has on; she had her everyday pink work outfit on her, "Hey! how can I be in my work suite? I remember I was wearing a white gown...Ohh! Now I remember first I was hearing voices, then I started to fell pain, after that my nose bleed, then I cough up a lot of blood and I felt cold and I had a horrible pain all over my body. Then everything blanked out." Callie shook her head in disbelief and said, " Wow I had a wonderful evening, I'm going crazy, I cough up blood, I felt excruciating pain all over my body, and I'm in a strangers weird room sleeping on their bed. I hope I did not do anything I'll regret later. Or they did something funny." Callie climbed out of the unfamiliar bed. She also notices that her pink work shoes are on too. She then started to figure out which door to open. " I guess I'll pick this one. It's right in front of me." Callie opens the wooden door that was in front of her. She slowly walks inside.
Callie look around the area she walk into and her eyes widen with surprised, and she said with glee " Hey! I remember this place!" The area Callie walked into was outside the First MKC Bank. It was around summertime because the trees and grass were dark green. Callie carefully walks inside the revolving doors of the bank. Inside the first floor of the building were about twenty teller booths. On the second floor was a bunch of offices and desks. Then she sees a women with round glasses, long blond hair, and beautiful green eyes, Callie was in shock and said. " Hey. Is that me?" The other Callie was impatiently waiting in a long line, holding a white envelope in her hand. The other Callie said impatiently, " Today! Geez, I wish they hurry up!" The other Callie was impatiently tapping her left toe on the marble floor and looking at her wristwatch. Callie then walked up to the other Callie and said " Hello? Excuse me. I never knew I had a twin sister before."
Callie's twin did not hear her.
" Hello. Hello? Hello! Can't you here me! I'm right in your ear!"
Callie's twin did not here her still.
" Hey! Can you here me!"
Callie push her twin very lightly, Callie's hand went through her twin body like a phantom.
" I'm- I'm a ghost!? No it can't be?! I 'm not dead, I am NOT DEAD!"
Callie ran up further into the line, saw a large middle aged she kat, and screamed "HEY! Can YOU HEAR ME! Hello! Hello! Wait! She may speak Spanish. Hola!" The large women still did not notice the frighten Callie. Callie thought to herself aloud, " No! Maybe French. Yeah French!" Callie then started speaking French to the best of her ability, "Bonjor! Je m'appelle Callie Briggs. Et toi Mademoiselle?" (Translation: Hello! My name is Callie Briggs. And you Miss?) The large women still did not respond. Callie sadly walk through the bodies of unsuspecting cats, she sat on a black chair and slumped. " What a way to go Callie girl. I died right on national television." Callie then looks at her twin, and she notices something about her, " Waite a minute. I use to have round pink glasses like that when I became a deputy mayor two years ago, something happened to them and I got black glasses now. So how can my twin have the same exact old glasses unless." Then she had a thought and said " Unless if I'm in the past! Therefore, that means that my twin sister is actually my past me. That means I'M NOT DEAD! YES!" Callie eyes brighten like a kitten on Christmas day. She jump right out of the chair and acting like a High School cheerleader dancing, jumping, and chanting, "Calico Briggs is still in the game guys! HOORAY!" Then she did a cheer while dancing.
"Shake it to the left!
Shake it to the right!
Stand up sit down!
I'm still alive! YEAH!" She jumps into the air and did a split right on the marble floor. Amazed She stand up from her split and brushed her self off. Surprised, " Wow! I though I couldn't do that anymore, I guess I can still." Callie then notices two hooded men with pistols franticly rushing into the revolving doors at the same time. The two hooded men were caught in the revolving door, then they finally freed themselves from the door, and aim their pistols at all the cats.
" OK! Dis is a stick-up!" The short robber said.
" Duh, Everybode on da floor right now!" Said the large robber.
" And give us all ya money! Or else!" both the robbers yelled.
All the cats in the building dropped quickly to the floor also the past Callie. Callie was the only one standing. " Hey! They can't shoot me! I mean here! I mean my past me! I wont exist anymore!" Callie tried to push and scream at the two robbers but the two did not here her, or moved by Callie's many attempts of pushing them to the ground. " Oh no! I forgot I can't touch anybody because I just go through them. Or talk to anybody." Callie was walking in circles thinking aloud while the robbers were robbing the bank. " Ok. If this is the past, then why am I still alive? Unless something happened to stop these guys." Then Callie heard a window shattered. Callie and the past Callie quickly turned around to look what crash though the large window, both Callies saw two cats standing side by side pointing their weapons at the bad guys. Callie said happily, "HEY! The Swat Kats!" However, the other Callie stared at the two strangers and said, " Who are you?" The large light colored cat said, " Were the Swat Kats lady!" The small brown colored cat added " Yeah! We heard the alarm outside the building and since we don't like people breaking the law and hurting the citizens of Mega Kat City." Both of the cats aimed their weapons at the two robbers and said together, "Were gonna kick these two robbers tails to jail!"
" Oh NO! It's those Swat Kat guys!" the small bank robber yelled in fright. He franticly looks around, pick up the past Callie by the hair, and pointed the pistol near her. " Look hears Swat Kats! I got dis pretty lady as a hostage! Any closer and I pump her fulla lead! Ya got that!" The short robber franticly said. The past Callie was squirming and trying to let him get loose of her hair, screaming angrily " Let go of me you creep! You're hurting me!"
" Shawdup lady! All right!!" The small robber yelled at the Swat Kats " Ya guys are gonna let us go! Or I'm gonna do it! I can do it too! Just pull the trigger and POW! Now I don't think ya want that ta happen!"
" Oh no we wouldn't want that to happen, right T- Bone." the brown colored cat said.
" Yeah Razor, wouldn't that be horrible, very horrible, were just gonna walk outside and let you two go with all the money. Good bye everyone were leaving you."
" You guys are on your own." Razor said. Both the cats walked out the bank through the revolving doors. " Uhh Junior. I guess there really gone."
" Yeah, George lets get the heck outta hear!" Junior drops the past Callie on to the floor, took all the money, and both robbers ran into the revolving door. A loud shot was heard from outside the bank, a gray gooey substance covered the revolving doors causing it to spread inside the door and completely stop, with the two robbers inside.
The two cats jump back into the Bank through the already broken window, look at all the people and smile. "Man how stupid can a cat get?" Razor said, " Hey you though we will leave you guys?" said T- Bone. Razor said coolly, " We'll never do that, now everyone calmly exit-"
All the cats scream and panic, they all ran out of the bank through the large broken window almost toppling over Razor and T- Bone, and knocking over the past Callie, Callie didn't have to move because she had the ability of going through cats. All that was left was shattered glass, and paper all over the floor. Razor and T-Bone pin themselves on the wall to protect themselves from the herd of cats running for their lives. The past Callie was lying on the floor on a position to protect herself from the heard of cats. Also, Callie was just standing wondering what will happen next. T-Bone and Razor jogged to the past Callie. T- Bone grab the past Callie's hand and picked her up.
" Are you ok Miss? You're a little shaken up."
" Oh, uh yeah I'm ok. Someone knocked me over and my glasses flown off my face, can you help me find them."
" Is this is your glasses madam?" Razor gave the past Callie a pair of pink glasses, the lens was broken, and the frame for the glasses snap in half.
" Oh no! I can't believe what a day I'm having! I was hold hostage, I didn't get my check cashed, my glasses are broken, and I am completely blind. Oh well, at least I'm not hurt. Hey, how did you guys get here so fast?"
" Oh we have a jet, it's called the Turbo Kat." Razor said
" Yeah, its almost faster then a Enforcer jet. I'm the Pilot and Razor is the Gunner." T- Bone acknowledged.
" Are you guys a part of the Enforcers?"
" No, were what Commander Ferral calls vigilantes." Said Razor.
" Phew, well at least your on the good guys side. So does anyone call you to say if there is an emergency or something in the city?"
Razor and T- Bone shook their head " Naw we don't know who can be our informant yet. Were thinking about someone who is close with the city." Said Razor.
The past Callie then said, " Well I'm very close with the city. I am the Deputy Mayor, and I will be glad to help you. A lot of stuff been happening, and sometimes it is too overwhelming for the enforcers. Were dealing with a lot of these new types of bad guys nowadays. So how can I contact you?"
" How' bout me and T- Bone can make some kind of a distress signal, or a pager. Every time you push the button we get a signal, and you can speak in it too! Oh it would be cool-"
" Hey Buddy you can figure out how to make the distress signal pager thingy at base, we better get out of here before Ferral finds us and go crazy. Well see ya Miss. Uhh."
The past Callie smiled, " Briggs. Miss. Briggs."
" Well see you again Miss. Briggs. Bye." Said Razor. He was the first to exit the building by jumping out of the large broken window; T-Bone was walking to the broken window to leave until, " Hey! I don't want to go with you too!" T- Bone look back and he just notice that he was holding the past Callie's hand still. Embarrass T-Bone said, " Oh! I'm sorry Miss. Briggs!" T-Bone let go of her hand. He ran to the exit and waved goodbye. The past Callie stared at the two heroes said quietly " Thank you guys." Callie exit through window and started to walk to the wooden door, " Then a day later they mailed the pager to my office. I wonder why I don't remember this day? Especially this day." Callie was about to open the door until she was standing in complete blackness. A white light was over Callie " Hey! What's happening now!? Where the heck am I?" Callie heard a little girls voice saying, " You remember those days but not ours." Callie looks around in fright and said, " Who? Who are you? What do you want? Have I heard you before?" The little girls voice made a sigh and said " You don't even remember yourself anymore huh! Ok I'll give you three chances to figure out who am I"
Callie thought for a while and said, " Are you my cousin Michele?"
" No. One."
" Ok Ok are you Sally?"
" NO! Your wrong again! Two Callie. Last Chance."
" Ok. I don't know! I quit!"
" Geez you quitter! Ok I'll walk up to the light and I'll tell you who I am!"
Callie then heard light footsteps coming towards her to the light. She then saw the person who was talking to her. Callie gasps " Its- it's me, as I was a little kitten."
The little girl was a carbon copy of Callie. Except her hair was in pigtails with little pink bows in it, also like all kittens she had a short tail, something that Callie grown out of when she grew up. She was wearing a pink jumper with a white T-shirt with pink sneakers, and round pink glasses.
" Boy, I bet you fell pretty stupid right now. Geez not knowing who am I. I'm you. Stupid."
" HEY! You are you calling stupid!" Callie snap back
" Well let's see shall we, were the only ones here, and I'm not calling myself stupid, so I guess its you then. Stupid" She stuck her toung out.
Callie was about to tell her younger self off until she remember ' Oh yeah, mom told me when I was young I use to have a mouth like that. I'll just ignore myself, I mean her.'
Callie then asks her younger self " Ok. Can you tell me what is happening to me, why did I collapse on stage, you said I'm in my head? And what can I call you so we won't get confused? Since we both have the same name."
" Well I may be little kid but I do know what's happening to me, I mean you. I was going to name you Stupid Callie but you can call me uhh, Little Callie."
" All right Little Callie, but do you know how we can get out of this place? Its kind of creepy."
" All right just follow me. Hold my hand and don't let go so you wont get lost okay."
Callie and Little Callie hold hands and they walk together into the darkness. Then all of a sudden they walked into a hallway that was dimly lighted with green doors. Callie looks around the dimly lighted hallway and said, "Where am I Little Callie? Do you know this place?" Little Callie put her hand into her shirt and pulled out a metal beaded rope with a key on it. "You should know, this is were you use to live." She put the key into the socket and turns it to open the door. Both of the Callie walks into their home. Callie then started to remember the layout of the apartment.
" I'm starting to remember now, the kitchen use to, I think, be in the back, the living room is where were standing, and the bedrooms are in the back!" Callie jogs into the hallway and open a door, " And my room was here! And I could see the alleyway down my window! Callie open the window and poke her head outside to look, then she quickly put her head inside and close the window " Oh yeah I forgot, there was a lot of trash and it really smelled I guess that's why I keep it closed." Callie then saw a little twin bed with white sheets and a little doll that resembles a baby cat. Callie sat on the little bed, and holds the little cat doll preciously in her hands. " I think that my biological parents didn't have that much money, and they were always sick. I remember I use to play with this doll to death." Callie then start to remember why she is with Little Callie, " I can't play with this thing now." Callie put the doll safely back on the pillow, " Now tell me Little Callie what is happening to me? Am I dieing, or I dead already?"
Little Callie sat next to her older self, she explains to the best of her ability what's happening to Callie.
Katie finally woke up from her beauty sleep. She looks around the room and found out that T-Bone and Ferral walk out and Razor was watching TV. She also remembered a gray teenage shekat with dark brown hair stepped inside the room saying she is looking for Callie's room, also a doctor name Zack came to talk to her if anybody sprayed something on her, but she assured the doctor nobody was near her except Callie. She went back into the waiting room and went back to sleep. Katie stands up from the couch and look outside the window, she saw that the whole block which is the size of the hospital was blocked off from traffic and pedestrians. Katie started to pace around the room back and forth, thinking, and pondering.
' Maybe it's a genetic thing? On the other hand, she could be poisoned. But we didn't eat anything, and nothing was poisoned because a lot of the cats ate and didn't drop dead. I even drank some water and nothing happened to me. I don't even fell weird or sick'
Katie look at the brown colored Swat Kat and said, " Hey. Razor"
He turns his head to look at the sand colored cat.
" Where's Ferral? And T-Bone still is lookin' for a machine?"
" A doctor pulled Ferral out of the room to talk to him. And T-Bone is still looking for a machine."
Katie was curious at what Razor was watching on the television.
" What'cha watchin' Razor? Cartoons?"
" No, just the news."
Katie sat next to Razor to watch the news with him.
" So if anyone wanted to try to kill or hurt Miss. Briggs, why do ya think they will do it?"
" Ransom, Vengeance, or someone has to be crazy."
" Yeah that's probably one of the reasons."
Both cats continue to watch TV. Razor looks behind him and saw Katie's tail.
" What happened to your tail? It looks like it was smashed between two rocks."
Katie look at her tail and remembered it was smash between the doors in the elevator. It had a small cut with dried blood over it. Oddly it didn't hurt.
" Aw crud. Um excuse me do you have a band-aid on you?"
Razor checks all his pockets, found a small white bandage, and hand it to Katie.
" Here ya go."
Katie took the bandage and tied it around her wound.
" Names Katrina Katiez, if you don't know my name, but everyone calls me Katie. What's yours?" Razor opens his mouth to say his real name, until he saved himself.
'Hey! It was just a trick to find out who I am.'
Razor said casually." Very funny. Thought I was going to say my real name huh."
Katie was finishing wrapping her wound, " It almost worked though." Katie gave a grin and said, "But now I know you have a real name, instead of Razor."
" Think you're so smart huh?" Razor asks.
" Yeah. I'm smarter then you." Katie replied.
She finishes tying the bandage, she look at Razor and said, and "I'll mark today the worst day of my life. My car broke down on me and I had to take the subway. You know, I lived here for twenty-three years of my life, and I hate taking the subway. When I got on their wasn't a seat and I had to stand all the way from fifth street, to the hotel! Then I found out I left my sunglasses, at my apartment, I got my tail smashed in the elevator and to top it all off I screwed up protecting the Deputy Mayor and I may get the pink slip."
Razor stair at the orange haired cat and said, " Well at least your tail wasn't cut off." Both cats stared at each other and laugh. " Yeah, I'll look more like a freak without my tail. Imagine me walking around the street without a tail with this." Katie pointed to her earring accident. "I wouldn't even have to say freeze Enforcers! The bad guys would just look, point at me, and die laughing!"
Razor look at Katie who war laughing hard at the though of her without a tail. And said " You'll look pretty anyway with or without a tail."
Katie herd what Razor said and completely stop laughing. There was a silence.
" Uh.. Thanks Razor for the complement Razor." Katie and Razor both stand up and Razor told Katie " Uhh.. I think we had better look for Ferral and T-Bone to see if any of the doctor have an idea what's wrong with Miss. Briggs."
Katie shook her head " Y-y-yeah. We better go look for them."
The Swat Kat and the Enforcer walk out the waiting room, both cats thought at the same time.
'I can't believe I said that to her!'
'I can't believe he said that to me!'
" So you're telling me that the Deputy Mayor was poisoned." Ferral ask with concern.
"Yes Commander Ferral. Mali and Zack screened Miss. Briggs blood and told me it is a chemical called CJ84 inside her blood sample. When I look inside the microscope there were these crystals inside her blood. Also her dress had the poison all over it too."
" So what does this poison does?" Ferral said to the doctor
Dr. Harrison look through her cluttered notes trying to hold them together and pulled out a sheet of paper. Her thick black rim glasses keep sliding off her face onto her nose. With one finger, she slides it back to her face.
" Well, what it is really is an poison, you cant taste it, has no color, But it has the sent of a rose. In addition, it is from a poisonous plant in the rainforest in South America. The locals call it Fallen Angel because the way it affects and kills the person who is in contact. But since people still cut the rainforest down for wood it is very rare, possibly even wiped off the face of the earth."
" What's the effect?"
Dr. Harrison shook her head and sadly said " Well for the guy that is in contact with this poison, I don't even wish it on my enemies. First, you stat to think someone is talking to you like a dead relative or yourself at a younger age. Then you fell a dull pain in your head, because your lung is filled with the poison inside, thus oxygen is almost cut off from you brain. Also because of the poison, you start to bleed through your nose. And the poison starts to attack your lung causing blood to fill up." Ferral said to himself " That's why she started to bleed all over."
Dr. Harrison continued," Sadly that's not all. It causes your pulse to slow down, you also can't keep yourself under control, you start to panic, the poison drops your temperature to low levels and hypothermic shock."
Ferral look at Dr. Harrison and ask, " Please god tell me that is all."
" There is one last thing. Even though we have her in stable condition, the poison actually targets your brain to shut down, you'll start to forget your memories and you will become brain dead. Good thing this poison comes in three phases. Because if it didn't she would have been dead already."
" Does this thing have a cure, antidote, or something?"
" Yes, but the antidote is in South America, but it is very rare and deep inside the jungle, you have to look through the whole jungle and that will take a long time. It's very hard to make both the poison and the antidote"
Ferral ask Dr. Harrison " Why is it so hard to make the poison and the antidote?" "Because if you screw up it will explode, don't ask me why it will explode that what it does." She said. "The only person I know who can make the antidote by hand without killing themselves is a doctor know now as Dr. Viper. He knew how to make the poison too."
" Dr. Viper! If that psycho could make this poison, then he could of. Wait, This isn't his style, he would rather turn the city into one big swamp."
" Yeah, but it would be a reason why he did it."
" Hey Ferral. Ya got any news 'bout our Sleeping Beauty?" Katie ask. She and Razor walk up to Commander Ferral.
" Yeah, she was poisoned, Dr. Viper might have did it. But we don't know how. Its tasteless, you cant see it, but it smell like roses."
Katie said to herself " It smells like roses."
T-Bone walking down the hallway sipping a can of soda until he sees Razor, Katie, Ferral, and a doctor with glasses.
" What's happenin'?" T-Bone ask
" Miss. Briggs was poisoned after all." Razor said.
A tomcat ran up to the five cats almost sliding into them and yelled,
" Yo guys! There's some crazy weird looking cat on TV. He said he wants the you guys!" He points to the Swat Kats. He continued "And he has the antidote. Come quick!"
All the cats ran inside the waiting room, all of the staff that work inside the hospital, including Sally was looking at the 19-inch color TV with wide eyes.
" T-t-this is Ann G-G-Gora Kats E-Eye News. A-A-Achoo!" She was holding a microphone wearing a light blue robe. Everyone can tell she just came out of the shower because all of her fur was wet. She is shivering and stuttering because she was cold. W-W-were on t-t-top of the Mega Kat Towers, in D-D-Downtown Mega Kat City. T-These two c-c-creeps abduct our c-cameraman B-Buster and me from our homes!" The camera was snatch away from Buster; everyone can here Buster in the background yelling at the guy who snatch his camera, " Hey! Give back my camera! It's delicate equipment Man!"
Happily, the large cat said, " Hey George look I'm on TV! Hi everyone!"
George slapped the big cat silly " Ya idiot! Boss said nobody s'pose ta know who we is Junior! Now point the camera at Dr. Viper or I'll slap ya again!"
The camera turned around and all the viewers can see is just a close up of Dr. Viper's nose. " Back up you idiot!" yelled Dr. Viper.
" Ok Boss." Junior walk back a few steps, the camera focus and now the camera can see the whole body of Dr. Viper holding two testubes, one clear like water and one green.
"Swat Kats! I got the antidote and the poison right in my hands! If you don't come here in a half a hour I am going to douse this poison all over these two!" Dr. Viper rapped Ann and Buster tightly with his snakelike tail. " You saw what happened with Miss. Deputy Mayor when she was in contact with the poison, imagine what will happen with these two!"
Ann's was beginning to get a cold her nose was congested she couldn't breath through her nose, she yelled, " L-let us go! If you p-p-pore that stuff all over us- A-a-achoo!"
" C'mon man, let us loose! Annie's getting sick!"
" Shut up! I do not care if she sick, this poison can kill the most horrible way! It's worse then some common cold! Now I want the Swat Kats to come to the Mega Kat Towers in half an hour. No jets, no guns, no enforcers!"
The transmission was cut off.
T-Bone was frustrated, " Aww man! What are we gonna do now! No jet."
" No guns." Added Razor.
" Also no Enforcers." Included Ferral.
Sally slumped on the couch and said, " Oh no. I wish there were two Swat Kats."
Both Swat Kats look at the teenage cat and said " You got a good idea!"
Sally blushed " I-I do! Thanks a lot."
" C'mon Razor we need to the store!" said T-Bone.
" Wait! Why do you need to go to a store! What store ya goin' to!? What's the plan!? And can I help?" Katie ask.
Razor and T-Bone stared at Katie.
" Hey T-Bone you think she can-"
" Yeah! Ferral can too! C'mon we got to go! Ferral, Katie Meat us at the Mega Kat Towers."
" Ferral I forgot to tell you about more information about Miss. Briggs!" Dr. Harrison yelled.
" What is it?"
"You remember about the three phases I told you about. Well Miss. Briggs is ending phase two. Which is the comma."
" So how long would phase three will come?"
" Well in about a few hours. It can happen any hour really. You guys better hurry getting that antidote because it has a fifty fifty chance of working once it enters phase three. If that happens, we will try to slow the process down if you guys are late."
" Ok Miss. We'll be right back." Ferral said. He pulled out a radio and said in it, " I want a chopper as fast as you can on the rooftop of MKC Memorial Hospital ASAP." Razor and T-Bone took the elevator that leads to the rooftop. Sally ran out of the waiting room and yelled down the hall " Hey T-Bone do you think my sisters gonna make it, I'll think I'll go crazy if she-"
T-Bone yelled back at Sally before the elevator doors close " Yeah! Callie's a fighter she'll make it!" The elevator doors closed.
Well that's end of Chapter three! Chapter four is the last. How did you like chapter 3?
