Chapter 5 -- The Proud...
Siege went into the bathroom and got dressed. She walked into the city, once she got to the Enforcer Building she stopped to rummage through her knapsack and found a signaler. Siege pressed the switch on the signaler and now picked up on Surges' trail and him on hers. She was so busy watching the blip that she almost ran over Surge. One thing Siege has learned about Surge is that he loves and can't resist a good joke.
"Surge, you old thick-skulled pervert!"
"Siege, you water retaining sea cow!"
They greeted each other with insults all the time. Several of the Kats on the street stopped and stared at them. They thought the two kats were going to fight. When the twosome started laughing they figured there was nothing to worry about and left. Surge handed her a postcard.
"I wrote this while I was thinking of you." He said with a grin.
Siege read the card out loud, it said,
"Siege,
Yesterday I saw a spot on the floor that reminded me of your head. So I scrubbed it off.
Thinking of you,
Surge."
"Beastly ain't it?" Surge asked her.
"If I had my sword I'd cut off your hands so that you couldn't write any more "fine poetry"."
"You are too kind." Surge said as he ducked the punch that Siege threw at him.
"Listen, I found two kats who'll listen to me." She told him, but Surge wasn't paying attention. He was too busy focusing his attention on a big street light that wasn't on yet.
"Dang, I can't do anything to it. I must have lost my powers." Surge said dejectedly. Siege slapped him in the back of his head.
"You dip, there is no electric current running to it." she told Surge.
"Ow, do you always have to hit me there?" Surge asked her, rubbing his head where she hit him.
"Yes, I have to beat you over the head every once in a while." Siege told him. A battered looking tow-truck pulled up to the curb and Jake and Chance peered out at her new friend. Mage sat in the middle. Domingo, who had been accepted when it was found that he had a certain fondness for nachos, Scaredy Kat, and dismantling household appliances, sat on the back of the truck dressed in a big floppy hat and coat.
"Who's your new friend?" Jake asked her as Surge examined a taillight a little too closely for her liking. She gave him a swift kick in the vicinity of his tail. He turned around and rubbed his rump thoughtfully.
"This is Surge. I better not tell you who he's related to, although by his looks I suppose you could already guess." Siege introduced Surge.
It was beginning to get dark and the street light suddenly flickered on.
"All Right! I wanted another crack at that thing." Surge exclaimed jubilantly. He began to concentrate on the bulb and it grew brighter. POP. The light was gone.
"WooHoo! Gotcha!" Surge grabbed her and started dancing around like an idiot.
