Enjoy the chapter guys :)
" Ok. Let me get this straight..." Callie was sitting in her chair with her legs crossed, she just listened to Zack's plain that has to involve with City Hall. Zack rolled his eyes and said, " I'll explain it to you again Callie, were breaking inside City Hall to tap into the city's bank account."
Callie shook her head. " Uh huh. I'm following you, keep going." Zack pointed on the map the east side of the building, where the garage is and said, " Aright, see, were going to enter in the back door-"
" Excuse me." Callie interrupted Zack and pointed to the West side of the building where the " How come you don't go in the front door? Isn't it easy?"
Zack shook his head " No way. You are right, it's easier, but a majority of the guards inside city hall patrol the front doors then the back. The only security in the back doors area or garage is an outdated security camera and it's a fact that enforcers patrol the West side of the building more often then the East. Probably because a lot of guys break in the front."
" Oh. Ok." Callie said.
" Now after we enter inside the building we'll take the stairs to the second floor and take the elevator-what question do you have now Callie?"
Callie asked, " Why can't we take the elevator on the lobby? Isn't it easy?"
Zack shook his head, " No. There's a security desk right in front of the elevator in the lobby. We don't want to be seen. However, I was planning to take the stairs all the way up to the thirtieth floor but...I don't fell like walking up a flight of stairs tonight. Do you?"
" Uhh...Nope. Keep going." Callie said.
" When were on the thirtieth floor were gonna go to the financial office down the hall. That's when we need you Callie, the door has a pin code number that you can just put in, but inside there's this special computer that's like an ATM machine in the office."
Callie thought back when the computer was delivered into the office. The whole reason why the city bought that computer was to keep track of all the money in the treasury, and to stop taking trips to the bank. Mayor Manx was having a hard time remembering the ten-numbered password so the man who made the computer told Callie too. Just incase if the mayor forgets it.
Zack looked at Callie and cleared his throat, " Well, you know what's going to happen next. You know the code, you open the account, I take this disk and that's it..." Zack hold up a black disk between his fingers, " And we both live happily ever after riding in our new Mustangs into the sunset."
Callie look at Zack and said with amazement, " Your gonna take all of the money that's in the treasury?"
" Umm...Yep."
Callie thought for a while and said, " What will I get in return?"
Zack leaned his head and looked up while he was calculating the numbers inside his head, " Lets see there is approximately 85 million in the bank, so divide that by five and you will have a share of seventeen million, not bad isn't?."
Callie looked down on the map and noticed the black X that was marked with a permanent marker where the computer was stationed at, she thought, ' Zack has everything planed. If I say no who knows what's going to happen to Sally, and if I say yes who knows what the enforcers will do to me. What's worse is that I'm just making this plan up by the minute. Oh why does Zack has to be polite, and have those mysterious blue eyes, and he's so good-looking-WHAT AM I THINKING!? He's the bad guy! Oh WHY does he have to be the BAD GUY!?'
" So what do you say Callie?" Zack asked. Callie thought for a good while and she gave her answer, " Ok."
' I cant believe she just said ok like that. It's not even an official answer.' Thought Zack, 'Man she so...no NO Zack you promised yourself not to fall for them, even if they are smart, and attractive and she has that charm, and Callie does have the perfect figure, and I wonder how she'll look in a-' Zack broke from his train of thought and said, " Are you really sure?" He looked into Callie's bright green eyes and continued, "Because you cant go back once we start, and you don't look like the type of woman that just turns like this... I mean with your clothing and everything."
Callie stand up from her seat and snapped, " What does my clothing has to do with this!?"
" For one, it's basically all pink. I mean c'mon there's a large assortment of colors in the rainbow to choose from, and nobody wasn't wearing that since '95."
" For your information Zack pink is my favorite color, and this was out since last year! It's a remake of an old outfit I had in 95' you idiot." Callie yelled. Zack rose up from his chair and stuffed the map inside the desk drawer, he thought, 'Their she goes again, man I love getting her angry.' He smiled at Callie and said, " I just ask that question because I say you look nice with black, with matching high heel shoes and a mini skirt." Callie fold her arms and look at Zack and said asked with anger, " Zack do you like it when I yell at you or something? 'Cause it's getting old."
" Sorry I can't help it, it's just something about you when you get angry... four eyes...alright Callie I was just kidding."
" When is it time to leave Zack because I want this over with." Asked Callie. She was getting really inpatient. Zack look at his wrist watch and said, " Well I guess it's almost time to-"
Then Lenny burst opened the door and said with alarm, " Yo boss! Ya know that little Valley girl downstairs, she's gone!" Callie's eyes widen with surprise, 'Way to go brownie eyes!' she thought.
" Well, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do." Casually Zack said, " Theirs only one entrance and you cant use that as an exit, and there's only one exit and there's a guard there so he may shoot if he sees here there so you know what to do Lenny." Callie turned her head and saw Lenny slowly pulled out a Black Hand gun. Alarmed Callie shouted out, " I'll get her!"
Zack raised an eyebrow and said, " What?" Callie rose out of her seat and walk towards the door angrily, " I'll get her Zack. She's not going to mess up the best opportunity of my life." And then she slammed the door almost breaking the glass panel.
Zack look at Lenny, and asked, " Well, what are you still doing here Lenny? Go help Miss. Briggs." Lenny shook his head stupidly and was about to open the door until Zack continued, " Oh yeah, and tell Benny to help you out too, and also tell him don't shoot to kill, just frighten her a little bit."
Outside, the Turbokat landed in a long forgotten empty lot. The engine started to quiet down and the canopy slide back. T-Bone and Razor jumped out and when they landed there was a disgusting squish sound. Razor sniffed and his nose burned from the smells of rotten eggs, fish and sour milk, he pinched his nose trying to block the fowl smell, " Crud! T-Bone, do you smell what I smell?"
T-Bone was swatting flies away from himself, he moaned, " Man, I smell it too. What is this place?" Razor lifted his feat and green brownish goo was all over the bottom of his bare feet dripping and oozing off., " Eww, I think this use to be an old dumpsite." He went into his pocket and took out a small test-tube. Curious at what he was about to do T-Bone asked, " Razor what the heck are you doing?"
" I'm taking a sample of this stuff." Razor said it like he was amazed. He scooped the smelly stuff from underneath his foot until the tube was filled with it. He capped off the tube safely with a cork and put it back in his pocket. " I'm gong to study it when the mission is over." He said.
" Alright buddy," T-Bone said, "
The Swat Kats literally ran across the barren lot and finally found an old hydrant that was spewing out water that kind of look like it was unclean. It took the two cats a few minutes to "cleanse" their feet from that unknown stuff.
" Well, I'll be more careful when I land the Turbokat." T-Bone said. Razor sniffed his foot, it was clean but the smell was still lingering underneath his foot, " And to wear boots when were anywhere near the warehouse district."
The Warehouse district has a history for being the most disgusting place in Mega Kat City. Most of the buildings were dilapidated, dark, and barely standing up. The streets were barely lighted with streetlights, even though at and some were flickering on and off and most of the lights look like there were shot at, and most needed some new bulbs and care. There were parked cars, but for some cars, all you see is the skeleton of the cars, some look like they were set on fire, and the tire's were gone, and underneath the rim was concrete cinder blocks. Not only was this place disgusting but also there were sleazy bars, sleazy motels, sleazy cats, and most of all... criminals and mobsters.
Razor checked his tracking device and gasped, " Hey guess what T-Bone were almost close to Callie." T-Bone check the tracking device and notice that they were only two block's away from Callie and Sally.
" It's only a hop, skip and Jump away Razor, that thing works great." T-Bone said. Razor smiled and said with pride, " Well there is no question about that, it's made by me."
" Uh huh. Let's get walking and get Callie."
T-Bone and Razor began to walk across the street until T-Bone heard the screeching of car tires and they saw a blinding car light. Instinctively, T-Bone grabbed Razor and barely dodged out of the car's way. Whoever was driving the car immediately stepped on the breaks causing the car to screech on the road the friction started to make a white cloud that smelled like burning rubber and stopped right in the middle of the street. The car shut off, the door opened, and Felina popped out waving to Razor, and T-Bone who look mad, "Hi guys what's up?"
" What's up?" T-Bone yelled, " You mean, who almost got hit!" Felina rolled her eyes at T-Bone and said without a care in the world, " Well you move out the way didn't you? So where's Miss. Briggs?"
" Before me and my partner and me was almost hit by you we were going to go 'n get her." T-Bone said. All of a sudden, the passenger sidecar door opened and Katie fell out onto the ground. Unfortunately for her there was a puddle there," Sorry Felina my seatbelt was stuck again and I-" Katie looked up and saw Razor's hidden face she blinked a couple of times to see if it was a dream, but it was Razor in the flesh and fur. Quickly she got up, attempt to dry herself off, even though her uniform was still damp, and jogged over to Felina's side, " Hey guys- Felina stop looking at me weird- ok let's go get Miss. Briggs and that kid, alright."
Razor, T-Bone, Felina and Katie finally arrived at the place where the tracking device was taking them and it leaded them to an abandon warehouse that was very dirty. The windows and the doors were boarded up and it look like there wasn't a way in side the building. Katie look at the halfway dilapidated building and made a soft whistle, " Razor are ya sure this is the place? I mean it looks a little crappy and I think there's no way inside." Razor look at the tracking device and everything was working ok. Razor said, " It hast to be, it says Miss. Briggs is in that building."
Katie climb up the steps and tried to push the door open but it didn't budge, " Man It won't budge." Katie leaned her back onto the boarded up door and slowly the door opened causing Katie to fall on her back, " Ow! Crud what's gonna happen next?!" Razor T-Bone and Felina jogged through the door and help Katie up. Your alright?" Razor asked. Katie looked at Razor and snapped, " Do I look alright to ya? I just fell on my back and-"
" Shut up." T-Bone growled, " Do you guys hear that?"
" Hear what?" Razor, Katie, and Felina asked.
T-Bone use his hearing sense and tried to figure it out what it is, " I hear something...it's ...it's high heel shoes."
" I don't hear that I just hear old pipes leaking." Katie said.
" Well I do, and the it sounds close, follow me." T-Bone started to lead the way. Felina tapped on Razor's shoulder and said, " I didn't know T-Bone have really good hearing."
" You think that's good, he could smell food half a mile away." Said Razor.
The group was walking along a dark damp hallway until they found a large empty spaced lined with boxes and the moonlight that was coming through the glass panel ceiling that look like it wasn't wash in quite some time. While T-Bone, Razor, Felina and Katie were on the left side of the warehouse, Sally was on the right.
' I wish Callie was here,' Sally thought. She was hiding behind a large wooden crate. Trembling in fear because not only she was chilly but also she was beginning to doubt of someone or anyone helping her or Callie.
' What if the Swat Kats have to get rid of some monster and forgot about me? Or maybe, what if they were jumped by those cats who got me and Callie, or what if they crashed?' Once again, Sally started to tear up, but then she heard Lenny and Benny's footsteps,
" Ya think the Valley girl is long gone man? I mean this place is just a big ol' warehouse with a buncha leaky pipes man, she could be lost or slipped and crack her skull or something." Lenny whispered.
The Swat Kats and the two enforcers hid behind a large crate. Katie gasped, " Felina ya think those got ta be the guys who kidnap Miss. Briggs and Sally?"
Benny scratched his arm and whispered, " Naw, I think the kid must be hiding behind these stupid boxes. You go over there, I'll go over here, and when ya see the kid yell alright."
Felina stared at Benny's bandaged head, which had spots of dried blood. She remembered that the middle age cat told her that Callie hit one of the cats on the head. She gasped, " Katie you are right these are the guys who abduct Miss. Briggs and Sally."
" So let's go and get them!" T-Bone growled, he was about to get out of hiding and go beat up those two guys but Razor hold him back," T-Bone we just can't go and beat up on people, we have to see what were dealing with."
Sally began to hear footsteps that were coming closer and closer to her. She starts to panic and she looked around for a new area for herself to hide in. Finally, she found another dark hallway that had a door that was marked EXIT. Sally jet towards the door until she had to stop and look at that familiar blond haired shecat, Sally rubbed her eyes and she whispered to herself, " Callie? Is that you?" and she was right, that was Callie. Sally jogged towards Callie and whispered, " Callie! I'm so glad I found you! How did you escape?"
Katie squint her eyes and whispered, " Hey there's Miss. Briggs But why she's out in the open like that? Those two guys can find her."
' Great." Callie thought, 'She didn't go through the door yet.' Sally look into Callie's bright green eyes and notice something was wrong, " Hey Callie what's wrong are you hurt?" Sally grabbed onto Callie's arm and started to pull her towards the exit, " Come on let's get out of this place before those two guys find us and-"
Callie tighten her fist, she was mad with Sally and was mad at what she was about to do,' I'm sorry what I'm going to do to you sis but it's for your own good.' Callie thought.
" No." Callie said coldly.
Sally was shock; she turned around stunned, " What do you mean Callie? I found the exit and-" Callie quickly snatched her arm away from Sally loose grip and yelled, " No!"
' What in the heck is Callie doing?' T-Bone thought, ' Now those two guys know where she's at.'
" Hey Benny I think I heard that lady's voice C'mon let's get her." Lenny whispered. Sally heard the footsteps of two cats running towards her, she started panicking and she grabbed Callie's arm again and started running towards the exit, " Come on Callie we got to get out of here before its-"
" No Sally!" Callie stopped right in her tracks and grabbed Sally's arm very tightly. Sally tried to struggle away from Callie's grip but it was no use, she looked at her sister with confused eyes and asked, " Callie are you crazy, those guys are going to hurt us."
' I'm sorry sis but I got to do this.' Callie thought. Callie screamed, " Shut up!"
" Is Miss. Briggs losing it or what?" Katie said. Felina stared at Callie and said aloud, " Something not right with her... I think-"
" You think so too?" Katie and Razor said together.
" I can't believe what you guys are thinkin' about Miss. Briggs wouldn't do that." Said T-Bone, " You guys probably looking at it totally wrong."
Sally was stunned, she never heard Callie yell like that before, except when she broke her portable CD player when she was a little kitten even though that was a accident. None of the less Sally knew something was wrong. Callie continued, " What are you doing!"
" I-I just wanted us to get out of here Callie." Sally said trying not to sob, she pointed to the exit sign and said, " I was brave just like you said and I found the exit over their. We can get out of this scary place and-"
" Well what made you think I wanted to leave? Huh?" Callie said in a bossy way.
" What are you talking about?"
" What I mean is I'm going to stay here and to show the boss I mean business, " Callie grabbed Sally and started to pull her towards Lenny and Benny, " I'm gonna personally had you over to him."
Sally started to struggle out of Callie's grip sobbing, " Callie stop it, please, how could you do this aren't we sisters?"
" Were not sisters!" Callie growled, " I'm adopted remember we have no blood relation."
Sally still continued to get out of Callie's grasp but she figured, what was the use, and she quit. Benny and Lenny walk up to Callie with Sally in her grip. Benny made an evil smile and said, " So ya actually did it huh."
" Yeah, I finally got the little brat in my hands." Callie sneered.
Tears started to roll down Sally cheeks. She said repeated under her breath, " Why?" Benny snatch Sally away from Callie and poor Sally cried with fear. Benny looked at Sally with his dangerous eyes and grinned, "Well look it here. A little Valley Girl was runnin' away from us."
" The boss is gonna be happy when he finds out we got this kid, huh Miss. Briggs." Said Lenny.
Callie made an sinister laugh and smiled, " Yeah, and imagine all the money we'll make once we take it all out of the treasury."
" I don't think Miss. Briggs lost her marbles," Katie said with alarm, " She's helpin' the other guys." But there was someone lurking behind the small cat. Closer and closer, he continued to walk towards Katie, who was unaware of his presents. Katie look around and whispered, " Hey guys doesn't it feels like someone's watching us? I mean I- OW MY TAIL!"
Katie quickly look behind her and she found the large orange colored cat that escorted Callie grabbing on her tail and clutching on it tightly. He snarled, " I hate Enforcers!" The large cat lifted her from off the ground. Katie was hanging upside down and it felt like her whole tail was going to be ripped out, Katie screamed in pain, " Leggo it hurts!"
" Let her go!" Razor ordered. He aimed his Gloveatrix at the orange cat and shoot out gray cement at the orange cat's face and it was a direct target,
" Bull's-eye!" Razor shouted cheerfully, but it was short lived. Because it just made the orange cat really, really, mad.
He wiped the gray cement off his face and roared " And I hate Swat Kats!"
" Run he's gonna go after you guys!" Shouted Katie. The orange cat hustled towards Felina, Razor and T-Bone and smashed the three of them through the wooden crates. Then the orange cat walked over to Razor who was moaning in pain, and grabbed him by the neck. He lifted him up in the air and made a twisted sick smile and laughed while he look at the small Swat Kat trying to fill precious air into his lungs. T-Bone quickly regained where his surroundings were and found his partner being chocked to death, " Razor!" T-Bone shouted in horror. He mad a mad dash towards the large cat (nearly twice the size of T-Bone) and was about to tackle him football style onto the ground, but the large orange cat punched him with the hand that Razor was being chocked with and T-Bone flew across the room and crash through wooden crates,
" What's this guy's on! Steroids?!" T-Bone moaned.
Felina sat up, shook her head, and looked for Razor and T-Bone, she found Razor being choked to death by that large orange cat, and T-Bone was down. She was about to stand up and help out the two until she felt a stinging pain around her ankle. She fell back down and screamed in pain, " Crud! My ankle's broke!"
Benny pulled out a twenty and waved it in Lenny's face, " Hey Lenny, I'll give ya twenty dollars sayin' that he's gonna die in one minute." Lenny pulled out a thirty and said, " I say two man."
Callie hand out her hand to Benny and said, " Give me your gun now."
" What! Lady this is mine gun! Get your own! It's mine!"
" Just give me the gun you idiot!" Callie yelled. She snatched the gun away from Benny and Callie started to walk towards Felina thinking,
' I can't believe I'm doing this!'
Hanging upside down, Katie was looking at Razor, his eyes were closed and it looked like he was about to stop breathing any second.
' Crap! I gotta do something before he passes out, but what can I do, I CANT FREAKIN' MOVE!' Katie thought. Her whole body felt paralyzed because of that large orange cat squeezing on her tail. In fact, if you hit, squeeze, or pull on her tail she can hardly move. Then Katie had an idea. She started to move her legs back and forth like she was on a swing, then she gained enough momentum that she reach towards the orange cat's face and kicked him directly on the nose. The large cat screamed and he dropped Razor onto the ground along with Katie and covered his nose crying in pain. Quickly Katie crawled over to Razor, lift his head and cried,
" Razor! W-wake up, breath or something!"
Razor slowly opened his eyes and saw Katie's worried face. He smiled weakly and said, " Hey Katie."
" Hi Razor." Katie smilled.
T-Bone stood up slowly, walked over to Razor and grinned, " Hey buddy are ya alright?"
Razor was about to answer T-Bone's question until Callie shouted, " Your not going to feel alright once were done with you guys."
T-Bone, Razor, Katie and Felina were surrounded by Lenny, and Benny who found another gun, and Callie who felt like she had butterflies in her stomach, she swallowed hard and ordered, " You guys got two choices, either surrender your weapons and give up-"
" What in the heck are ya talkin' about Miss. Briggs." T-Bone said, " Are ya ok?"
" Or you, Razor, and the two enforcers will die," Callie ordered. Her voice sound certain, however she couldn't stop shaking the gun. She swallowed again and continued, " Think you can dodge bullets T-Bone?"
" Miss. Briggs calm down, put the gun down before ya-"
Before T-Bone could finish talking to Callie, she accidentally pulled the trigger, and if T-Bone didn't jump back in time he would of got shot in the foot. Callie realize what she did and gasped,
' Oh my god! I almost shot T-Bone! Umm...ok Callie just play it off before they notice.' Callie thought. She tightened her grip on the gun and ordered in a bossy way, " Do as I say or I will not miss again."
" Alright Miss. Briggs!" Razor aimed his Glovatrix directly at Callie and was about to fire until something in his mind was holding him back. He tried to fight it but he was losing the battle. Immediately he shouted, " Nobody's gonna shoot at my partner and going to get away from it. Not even you!"
Callie aimed the handgun towards Razor and yelled, " Do as I say or-" Callie look at Benny who was stupidly laughing while holding his gun. She yelled,
" Hey you! Where did my sister go?!"
" Uhh...oh. I must of didn't watch her when I was looking for dis gun ya see and umm."
" You idiot!" Callie wanted to physically harm to Benny for what he did but instead she grabbed Benny by the collar of his shirt and hissed, " Go find Sally NOW!"
" There's no need Cal I got her." Zack walked over to Callie holding onto one of Sally's pigtails. The gray teenager looked like she just didn't care anymore if she was caught or not.
" How did you get her?" Callie asked.
" She bumped into me while she was running." Said Zack, " And when she tried to get away the only thing I could of catch was her pigtails...so...that's it."
" All I wanted to do was to go home." Sallie muttered, " But no, I had to get caught by the mob, locked in a dungeon, my older sister hates me, and this man is pulling on my hair.... Why is this happening to me?" Sally sighed and she shook her head.
Zack stared at Razor and T-Bone and said nonchalantly, " Umm. You guys are new. Who are you?"
" No. Who are YOU. " T-Bone said, coldly.
" I asked first."
" My question is important then yours."
" No MY QUESTION!"
" MY QUESTION!"
" MY QUESTION!"
Lenny interrupted the argument and said, " Um. Boss these are da Swat Kats man, the small one's named Razor and the fat one's named T-Bone." Felina also added, " And Swat Kat's this is Zack Wiskerson...Ow my leg."
" Wow. I got a couple of loonies runnin' around thinking their super heroes after me now."
" Shawdup Wiskerson." T-Bone growled, " Or I'll-"
" Do what?" Zack said, " Shoot me? You got three people surrounding you and not only you have two cats who are advanced in hand weaponry. So, do you super hero's know how to dodge bullets too?"
T-Bone muttered. Outside, Felina and Sally was pushed into the damp room that was next door to Razor and T-Bone, but Katie was holding her ground,
" You bastard! You better let me go or I'll-"
" Or WHAT?" Benny yelled. He lifted Katie up clutching her stomach and started walking her into the small room. Katie started kicking and screaming, " Your not gonna put me in that room!"
" Shut up!" Benny whined. He threw Katie inside and slammed the door onto her tail. Katie shrieked in pain and yelled slurs of not very good words at him. Benny laughed and shouted, " Maybe that'll shut you up." As the two cats walked away Benny sighed, " Of all the girls I had ta hold why I got ta get the one with the hole in her ear."
" Ya mean the skinny-ugly-small one with the unkempt-red-hair-with-the-hole-in-her-left-ear-tomboy?" Lenny asked.
" Yeah that one. I swear, that's the last time I'm not going to hold the ugly ones again."
Inside the room Katie was thrown in was the same one that Sally was in. Katie roared and stomped towards a corner of the damp room...and she was fuming mad. She curled up into a ball and screamed, " Stupid, I don't have red hair, its orange."
Sally went into the corner and slumped down to the floor and sobbed, " I can see the news now, if I'm alive, Deputy Mayor Goes Bad Locks Sister in Dungeon For Dead. Were all doomed."
Felina looked at Sally and patted her on her shoulder and the brown-eyed girl look at her with her sad brown eyes, " You know kid, you shouldn't think like that. It's unhealthy for your age."
" I always think like this I can't help it." Sally answered, she curled her legs up and laid her head onto her knees, " Ever since I was a little kitten I was afraid of..." Sally started to chuckle, " Well...everything. But my parents and Callie made me not scared of things that much anymore. Until..." Sally started to remember images of that last day, her eyes started to tear and she buried her eyes in her yellow sleeves,
" ...Until there was a freak storm out at sea and the boat must of hit some rocks or something. Water started to flow inside and it capsized."
Katie sat on the floor with her bruised tail entering into the conversation, " You mean that cruse accident three years ago?"
Sally shook her head, " Yes. They were helping some of the other passengers to the life boats." Tears rolled down her cheeks and she wiped them off with her sleeve, " They thought they had time, but they were so wrong. The boat went under along with my parents and a few of the others. Nobody couldn't save them because they were afraid the lifeboats would go along with it too. I told them don't go on the cruse because the boat is going to sink, or malfunction or something bad is going to happen. But Dad said, sweetie nothing's going to happen, cruse boats don't sink, you should think positive. After that he gave me a present, the same picture of him, Mom, Callie and me that he put in his shoe so when the MBC building has to evacuate because of a bomb threat or something he wouldn't feel so scared." Sally look at her right shoe sadly and continued, " That was the last thing my Dad ever gave to me, and you know what, it's not working now..."
Next to the girl's prison, Razor was already busy drilling a hole threw the door to escape. T-Bone however was listening in on Sally's conversation thru the walls, " Poor kid, and she went through all that. Nobody should go through that."
" Imagine what it did to Callie." Razor said.
" Who cares about Callie." T-Bone growled. He started to walk back to back to each side of the wall while waiting for Razor to finish the job, " She abandoned her sister, almost killed us all, and sold herself out to that stupid english jerk." The large Swat Kat started to crack his knuckles thinking of harming Zack, " Oh, I love to ring his neck and kick his tail all over the city." After he finish thinking semi-evil thoughts he folded his arms and started to remember the highly detailed cut out of Callie holding a handgun, he still couldn't believe it.
" Well, it was always in the back of my head." Razor stated.
" What do you mean?"
" I mean, ever since you... and...her..." T-Bone stared at Razor for a response but instead the burnt orange cat exhaled and went back to making that circle, " Aww. Never mind, just forget what I said."
There was a moment of silence between the two cats. T-Bone stood in one spot looking at his friend with worried eyes. Finally, after a few seconds it popped into mind,
" What a minute... oh no it's the " you and her" incident again."
T-Bone knew eventually that Razor was going to talk about the "you and her" incident and he couldn't take Razor being paranoid all the time. So he took a deep breath to ready himself and he asked, " Razor are you scared of the cats on our side going to turn on you?"
Razor continued to work, almost completing his task trying to ignore the question. T-Bone was getting inpatient with him and he growled, " Razor did you even hear me!? I said-"
" Sometimes." Razor said. He turned around and made a sad sigh, " I mean, when you went on her side I thought you betrayed me and I didn't know what to do. After we bust her and she ended up in the litterbin everything was ok until I started thinking, what if you wasn't acting, what if you did switch sides on me, or what about Commander Feral, Felina or even Callie. So I started to prepare myself mentally, like playing a trick on my mind like. Just incase it ever happened and even prepare myself if they do attack."
T-Bone turned around to the wall and asked, " Well Razor if you tried to trick yourself incase they attack then why didn't you fire your glovatrix at Callie."
Razor's ears perked up. Why did he have to ask that question, he thought. He pretended he didn't hear T-Bone and went back to work.
' He's ignoring me,' T-Bone thought, ' Well I have to dig it out of him.'
T-bone folded his arms again and he said with spite, " If you couldn't even shoot at her and you trained yourself then why didn't you do it, Razor, we didn't have to end up in here ya know."
" I don't know." Razor said. Even though with the tone of voice he had he wanted to say something else.
The large Swat Kat started to walk back and forth interrogating him, " What was wrong Razor, you couldn't aim."
" I had her in sight T-Bone."
" Then why didn't you do it."
" I don't know."
" You were only a few feet from Callie."
" I know that T-Bone."
" I coulda tackle her to the ground and took the gun out of her hands. Why didn't you do that instead."
" I don't know."
" Why didn't you do it, huh. Scared."
" I...I...Don't-"
" You had dust in your eyes or are you going blind?"
" N-no T-Bone." Razor growled.
" Are ya loosing your edge?"
" N-no T-Bone leave me alone."
Razor tried to ignore T-Bone for as long as he can, and was doing a good job of doing it. Until-
" I know what it is... you can't cut it."
Razor turned his head and shouted, " Y-yes I can."
" No you can't, " T-Bone growled, " You can't even bring down Callie! How could you, of all cats, be a Swat Kat."
" I'm a Swat Kat now," Razor muttered, " I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far."
T-Bone laughed with anger and he shouted, " What if Katie was held hostage by Callie, huh?"
Razor's hand was shaking with anger; he couldn't say anything to defend himself. However, he was holding himself together until T-Bone said,
" Oh I know what's going to happen, you're going to start aiming right after she shoots Katie."
And that was the last draw for him, Razor burst out shouting, " I aimed the glovatrix and I had everything but...but something was holding me back. Like some voice in my head telling me that it was wrong, and I was trying to fight it, but I couldn't do it T-Bone! I couldn't do it! Maybe your are right, maybe I-I cant cut it. I can't even bring down Callie, how can I take out larger cats out there!"
But all of a sudden Razor stomped up to T-Bone, grabbed him by the collar and lowered him down to his eyes. Face to face " And I wouldn't let Callie or Feral or ANYBODY ever physically or mentally hurt Katie for as long as I live and even before I'm dead! YA GOT THAT!"
After a long pause, Razor quickly let go of T-Bone's collar and apologized to him as he never did before, " I-I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over me and-"
T-Bone patted him on the shoulder and smiled apologetically, " Don't worry about it buddy. I know some cats are going to betray us, but most of them on our side are not going to turn on use any time soon. And it's going to be hard facing them when they go bad, were only cats... But I'll promise one thing to you Razor."
Razor looked at T-Bone, " What's that?"
" I'm not going to ditch you anytime soon buddy, so stop getting all worked up over it 'cause your driving me nuts."
Razor smiled and went back to work, " That's all I need to here." Razor made the last incision on the door and with a loud thud the dropped out onto the floor.
In Enforcer Headquarters Felina waking with Steel was in crutches explaining everything from what happened to the time she was interviewing the middle aged cat to when they escape the abandon warehouse, " So after the Swat Kats set us free we figure that since the Deputy Mayor was with Wiskerson then they will go to City Hall. Katie volunteered to go with the Swat Kats and since I sprang my ankle I'm no good so I drove Miss. Briggs sister to headquarters, to see if she had any other relatives to stay with."
However, it seems like Steele had a problem listening to her,
" Then where's Katiez?" Steele asked while playing Tic-Tac-Toe on his yellow notepad.
Felina was getting annoyed and losing her patients with Steele, " I already told you Steele, she's with the Swat Kats were you not listening to me!?"
" Darn, I was going to ask her out and look what's she's doing out in the streets, flying with those vigilantes," Steele said with a hint of envy. Steele walked back and forth thinking aloud his plan, even though Felina couldn't believe that he had the brainpower to do that, " Should I take her to my place first, then dinner and then back to my place? Or should it be, dinner then my place, and then her place."
" You idiot." Felina hissed, "she's going to say no because you are a loser."
" Listen Feral, " Steele lectured while he tore the paper with stick drawings of cats, rolled it up in a ball and tossing it aside. He started talking to Felina as if she was lower then him,
" Katie Katiez should be lucky enough the I, David Steele, is slightly interested in her to ask her out. With the measly amount of ample time I have for my self, I can't believe she says no to an important figure of my self." He finished writing something on his pad then he asked with haste, " So where is the other Briggs?" Felina pointed towards a depressed Sally who was sitting at the end of a long wooden bleacher next to her was a row of unusual cats, from she kats to tomcats to kittens to old cats. However, Steele suspected a full figured teenage girl sitting where Felina pointed towards but all he saw was a ordinary, plain, teenage shekat. Is this girl supposed to be a member of the Briggs family? Steele thought. He scratched his head and asked, " This is Sally Briggs?" He took another look at Sally and he was dumbfounded " She-but- wha? How-"
Felina arched her eyebrows, " You was suspecting a smaller version of Miss. Briggs?"
" This can't be Miss. Briggs sister." Steele said, " She looks so...so... plain she's suppose to stand out."
Sally looked up at him with her hesitant eyes with a question on her mind, " Sir, I was wondering if I could call my-,"
Steele went up close face to face from the gray teenage shekat inspecting her as if she was a science project. He scratched his head and looked at Felina, " She doesn't look like the deputy mayor or have any of her features."
Sally was scared and beginning to feel very uncomfortable and very nervous. Did I do something wrong, she thought.
Steele looked at Sally again and said loudly, " Hey kid, where's your green eyes, blond hair, no hourglass shape, your glasses?"
Sally was stuttering, she didn't know what to say. She knew that they weren't biologically related but why would anybody ask her that. " I-I-I-"
" Are you a imposter or are you adopted?" Steele asked waiting for an answer, " I know the Briggs family wouldn't have such a plain looking kid hanging around with them so which one are you?"
Felina grabbed him by the collar, dragged him away from her, and whispered with anger, "You idiot you don't ask out of the blue if you're adopted like that!"
" Hey I just wanted to know Feral so but out, okay."
Felina shut her eyes tight and growled, " Your going to freak her out she very sensitive!"
" So what?" Steele said, " She looks like any other cat on the street Feral she's probably an imposter, don't you know the Briggs family is one of the most prestigious families in Mega Kat City. "
" And?" Felina hissed, " She's related I said so myself."
" Doesn't matter," Steele argued back, " Do you know how many low life, middle lower-class, no nothing, ally cat losers in this city want to be the around the high class aristocrats? Especially since ninety-nine percent of those cats in this city is the low life, no nothing, lower middle-class, ally cat losers? You probably know how it feels to be like those cats since your father's a penniless Lounge Lizard comedian anyway."
Felina's fur raised and she growled with anger, " Why you-"
As the two lieutenant started to argue each other Sally was resting her head on her hand sadly staring at nothing, " How can Callie say that? Sure she's adopted, but were still family. And why does everybody think I'm the adopted one, she is." She thought.
Sally looked around the office and seen two shekats, the other one who looked tough, speak in a heavy Texan accent,
" Yeah me and my sister robbed the bank whattaya gonna do buster!" The tough shekat's sister was more petite and less scary, and like her sister, she had a Texan accent,
" Yep were gonna be in the history books, once we git a lawyer! Right sis." The enforcer told them to shut up and he pushed them through a hallway filled with handcuffed cats.
Sally looked down and sighed, " What's going to happen now since Callie's going to run away or end up in prison."
A middle-aged petite shekat with light brown fur and long black wavy hair that was put up in a quick bun on top was sitting across from Sally. The shekat smiled at her. She moved her seat away from the overweight tomcat with grease stains on his undershirt next to Sally.
" Little girl are you alright you look like your in distress?" The nice shekat said, " And at such a young age too, you should be the one getting in trouble not worrying like a parent."
Sally weakly smiled, she thought she was the nicest cat she ever met since she entered in the headquarters, " It's nice that you are concerned. But...But."
" Your worried about something?" The petite shekat asked.
Sally was surprised, " Huh? How did you know?"
" I'm a mother with kids," The petite shekat explained, " Kind of like a hidden six sense that reveals itself when you become one. Anyway, why are you worried? You're lost? Don't worry, my husband and me lived here in this city for years," The petite shekat giggled and her gold, or yellow or green (or whatever eye color she had) eyes gleamed, " We can find our way through this city blindfolded while one of our legs is tied to the other."
Sally shook her head, " No. No. It's not that, it's my sister; she did something bad...very bad....'Maximum-Security-Prison-For-Life' bad."
The middle-aged shekat apologetically smiled, " Oh my goodness I'm so sorry-Oh! I know what can cheer you up!" The petite shekat open up her black pocketbook and started to look through it for the item that was suppose to 'cheer' Sally up. As she was looking through her messy pocket book, Sally started to ponder about the future, " I may end up staying with Aunt Amelia and Uncle Donald, but they're so snobby sometimes. Especially Aunt Amelia and Cousin Sasha. She'll probably make me act like Sasha and go hang out with the mean preppy kids around the club and date the guys and dress like her...Yuck! And Aunt Amelia probably wouldn't let me visit Callie if she gets thrown in prison since she and Callie don't get along." Sally sighed out of distressed and continued thinking aloud, " I wish Callie didn't turn bad." The petite shekat was still looking through her pocketbook, but she did listen to Sally, " Your sister name is Callie you said?"
Sally nodded, " Uh huh."
The petite shekat eyes glimmered at Sally and said with an exiting tone, " My second oldest son, his name is Jake Clawson says he fixed her car a couple of times. He says she's very pretty and his friend Chance was trying to impress her and when she was leaving she ...wait I think Chance was the one who got winked at...no... I think it backfired and Jake was the one...or did she..." Ms. Clawson paused and laughed lightly tapping Sally's shoulder, " Wait. I rather not say anything, that's how rumors get started."
Sally laughed, " Hey. My sister did a play like that when she was the lead actress in school called " How Rumor's Get Started" It's about a girl who's affected by these rumors in school and she had to act like a good girl turned-"
Then something jumped into mind, Sally gasped and said aloud, " Those things she said weren't true!"
" What's not true?" One rough looking tomcat said wearing handcuffs.
Sally rose up from her seat and said, " My sister was just acting! She's not a bad person after all!"
One cat with swish cheese type ears shouted at Sally, " Who's not a bad person?"
" My sister!" Sally gleamed. She rose up and ran out of the front doors, " I got to tell the others before it's too late!"
A loud cat with long whiskers was shouting, " Hey kid ya figure that out all by yourself?! I'll pay ya a thousand bucks to be my lawyer!"
" Me too!" one cat shouted.
" My lawyer's a crook!" another cat shouted, " I rather go with her." When Sally made a mad dash out of the Headquarters, Ms. Clawson quickly rose up and walk towards Felina and Steele who was still arguing, " Excuse me?"
" Yes M'am." Felina greeted.
" You know that sweet gray young lady with the brown pigtails and brown eyes?"
Felina was getting worried, " Yes?"
" Well, I thought she was going to cry her little heart out, so I started talking to her to ease her troubled mind, but then she jumped out of her seat and ran out of here."
" Oh no she ran away!" Felina cried.
" Great!" Steele shouted, " This is not only your fault Feral but if Katie would of come back to headquarters and actually do her job, watching the little brat, this wouldn't of happen!"
" That girl wasn't a brat," Ms. Clawson defended, " She was the sweetest thing next to my daughter Josie." However, Steele and Felina didn't hear what she said because they were trying to yell over each other. After a minute of arguing Steele was dominate in their argument, " But no, she's goes around the city with a couple of brainless, slow, hotshot vigilantes in dark suits. We could of at least had someone in this place to actually not disappear!" Steele stomped away and bawled, " I should report to the commander how she's running around with those vigilantes, that'll bring down her chances of becoming a lieutenant."
Felina started to walk with Steele growling with anger, " You better not Steele or I'll bust your tail-"
Steele stopped and turned around," But why should I waste my time with some tomboy with a hole in her ear, that's her loss."
The cats in the headquarters were all listening in on the intense argument. If a pin would of dropped, everybody would of hear it.
Felina cleared her throat and narrowed her eyes, " As a fellow lieutenant Steele I can tell you myself that she's doing her job two hundred percent, and she one of the few best enforcers we have in this city. Also, the Swat Kat's are better then twenty pilots put together so you don't know what you're talking about, which is ninety-nine percent of the time."
Steele sighed with anger and stomped away, " I don't know what you guys see in those cats, they aren't nothing."
" The Swat Kats are intelligent, polite, head strong, tough, talented, and I have to add good looking nice guys who knows how to treat a lady. Characteristics that you, David, never had, have never shown, and will never have in your nine lives." Felina started to walk towards the exit door. Enraged and highly embarrassed Steele yelled, " Feral where the heck do you think your going!?"
" I'm going to find commander Feral at the warehouse. How about doing your job for a change." And with that Felina walked out and slammed the door.
Everyone was quiet and staring at Steele and some guys were snorting underneath their breath. Ms. Clawson finally saw a window of opportunity. She went through her pocket book took out a white slip of paper and casually walked over to Steele with a smile on her face and said in her nicest tone, " Excuse me Lieutenant Steele can I pay this car ticket now? I've been waiting for almost three hours."
Steele snatched the ticket from Ms. Clawson, " Sure."
Ms. Clawson gave him the money upfront and nodded, " Thank you Mr. Steele."
" You welcome."
Ms. Clawson walk straight towards the door and opened it she was about to walk out until she paused and look back, " Excuse me Mr. Steele but since I am a mom and all, I always tell my children this: If you don't have nothing nice to say-"
" DON'T SAY IT AT ALL!!" Everybody shouted.
" 'Cause that way nice cats won't scream at you so much." Mrs. Clawson said giving a friendly smile. And with that, she walked out the office.
The rough looking shekat with the Texan accent smiled with humor, " Insult with injury, someone just got cursed out, huh sis?"
The petite shekat didn't hear her sister. She was scratching her head with a complex look in her eye, " I always thought the Swat Kats were handsome, but I always did like Razor the best, he's a fine lookin' guy if I say so myself."

Enjoy the chapter guys :)
" Ok. Let me get this straight..." Callie was sitting in her chair with her legs crossed, she just listened to Zack's plain that has to involve with City Hall. Zack rolled his eyes and said, " I'll explain it to you again Callie, were breaking inside City Hall to tap into the city's bank account."
Callie shook her head. " Uh huh. I'm following you, keep going." Zack pointed on the map the east side of the building, where the garage is and said, " Aright, see, were going to enter in the back door-"
" Excuse me." Callie interrupted Zack and pointed to the West side of the building where the " How come you don't go in the front door? Isn't it easy?"
Zack shook his head " No way. You are right, it's easier, but a majority of the guards inside city hall patrol the front doors then the back. The only security in the back doors area or garage is an outdated security camera and it's a fact that enforcers patrol the West side of the building more often then the East. Probably because a lot of guys break in the front."
" Oh. Ok." Callie said.
" Now after we enter inside the building we'll take the stairs to the second floor and take the elevator-what question do you have now Callie?"
Callie asked, " Why can't we take the elevator on the lobby? Isn't it easy?"
Zack shook his head, " No. There's a security desk right in front of the elevator in the lobby. We don't want to be seen. However, I was planning to take the stairs all the way up to the thirtieth floor but...I don't fell like walking up a flight of stairs tonight. Do you?"
" Uhh...Nope. Keep going." Callie said.
" When were on the thirtieth floor were gonna go to the financial office down the hall. That's when we need you Callie, the door has a pin code number that you can just put in, but inside there's this special computer that's like an ATM machine in the office."
Callie thought back when the computer was delivered into the office. The whole reason why the city bought that computer was to keep track of all the money in the treasury, and to stop taking trips to the bank. Mayor Manx was having a hard time remembering the ten-numbered password so the man who made the computer told Callie too. Just incase if the mayor forgets it.
Zack looked at Callie and cleared his throat, " Well, you know what's going to happen next. You know the code, you open the account, I take this disk and that's it..." Zack hold up a black disk between his fingers, " And we both live happily ever after riding in our new Mustangs into the sunset."
Callie look at Zack and said with amazement, " Your gonna take all of the money that's in the treasury?"
" Umm...Yep."
Callie thought for a while and said, " What will I get in return?"
Zack leaned his head and looked up while he was calculating the numbers inside his head, " Lets see there is approximately 85 million in the bank, so divide that by five and you will have a share of seventeen million, not bad isn't?."
Callie looked down on the map and noticed the black X that was marked with a permanent marker where the computer was stationed at, she thought, ' Zack has everything planed. If I say no who knows what's going to happen to Sally, and if I say yes who knows what the enforcers will do to me. What's worse is that I'm just making this plan up by the minute. Oh why does Zack has to be polite, and have those mysterious blue eyes, and he's so good-looking-WHAT AM I THINKING!? He's the bad guy! Oh WHY does he have to be the BAD GUY!?'
" So what do you say Callie?" Zack asked. Callie thought for a good while and she gave her answer, " Ok."
' I cant believe she just said ok like that. It's not even an official answer.' Thought Zack, 'Man she so...no NO Zack you promised yourself not to fall for them, even if they are smart, and attractive and she has that charm, and Callie does have the perfect figure, and I wonder how she'll look in a-' Zack broke from his train of thought and said, " Are you really sure?" He looked into Callie's bright green eyes and continued, "Because you cant go back once we start, and you don't look like the type of woman that just turns like this... I mean with your clothing and everything."
Callie stand up from her seat and snapped, " What does my clothing has to do with this!?"
" For one, it's basically all pink. I mean c'mon there's a large assortment of colors in the rainbow to choose from, and nobody wasn't wearing that since '95."
" For your information Zack pink is my favorite color, and this was out since last year! It's a remake of an old outfit I had in 95' you idiot." Callie yelled. Zack rose up from his chair and stuffed the map inside the desk drawer, he thought, 'Their she goes again, man I love getting her angry.' He smiled at Callie and said, " I just ask that question because I say you look nice with black, with matching high heel shoes and a mini skirt." Callie fold her arms and look at Zack and said asked with anger, " Zack do you like it when I yell at you or something? 'Cause it's getting old."
" Sorry I can't help it, it's just something about you when you get angry... four eyes...alright Callie I was just kidding."
" When is it time to leave Zack because I want this over with." Asked Callie. She was getting really inpatient. Zack look at his wrist watch and said, " Well I guess it's almost time to-"
Then Lenny burst opened the door and said with alarm, " Yo boss! Ya know that little Valley girl downstairs, she's gone!" Callie's eyes widen with surprise, 'Way to go brownie eyes!' she thought.
" Well, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do." Casually Zack said, " Theirs only one entrance and you cant use that as an exit, and there's only one exit and there's a guard there so he may shoot if he sees here there so you know what to do Lenny." Callie turned her head and saw Lenny slowly pulled out a Black Hand gun. Alarmed Callie shouted out, " I'll get her!"
Zack raised an eyebrow and said, " What?" Callie rose out of her seat and walk towards the door angrily, " I'll get her Zack. She's not going to mess up the best opportunity of my life." And then she slammed the door almost breaking the glass panel.
Zack look at Lenny, and asked, " Well, what are you still doing here Lenny? Go help Miss. Briggs." Lenny shook his head stupidly and was about to open the door until Zack continued, " Oh yeah, and tell Benny to help you out too, and also tell him don't shoot to kill, just frighten her a little bit."
Outside, the Turbokat landed in a long forgotten empty lot. The engine started to quiet down and the canopy slide back. T-Bone and Razor jumped out and when they landed there was a disgusting squish sound. Razor sniffed and his nose burned from the smells of rotten eggs, fish and sour milk, he pinched his nose trying to block the fowl smell, " Crud! T-Bone, do you smell what I smell?"
T-Bone was swatting flies away from himself, he moaned, " Man, I smell it too. What is this place?" Razor lifted his feat and green brownish goo was all over the bottom of his bare feet dripping and oozing off., " Eww, I think this use to be an old dumpsite." He went into his pocket and took out a small test-tube. Curious at what he was about to do T-Bone asked, " Razor what the heck are you doing?"
" I'm taking a sample of this stuff." Razor said it like he was amazed. He scooped the smelly stuff from underneath his foot until the tube was filled with it. He capped off the tube safely with a cork and put it back in his pocket. " I'm gong to study it when the mission is over." He said.
" Alright buddy," T-Bone said, "
The Swat Kats literally ran across the barren lot and finally found an old hydrant that was spewing out water that kind of look like it was unclean. It took the two cats a few minutes to "cleanse" their feet from that unknown stuff.
" Well, I'll be more careful when I land the Turbokat." T-Bone said. Razor sniffed his foot, it was clean but the smell was still lingering underneath his foot, " And to wear boots when were anywhere near the warehouse district."
The Warehouse district has a history for being the most disgusting place in Mega Kat City. Most of the buildings were dilapidated, dark, and barely standing up. The streets were barely lighted with streetlights, even though at and some were flickering on and off and most of the lights look like there were shot at, and most needed some new bulbs and care. There were parked cars, but for some cars, all you see is the skeleton of the cars, some look like they were set on fire, and the tire's were gone, and underneath the rim was concrete cinder blocks. Not only was this place disgusting but also there were sleazy bars, sleazy motels, sleazy cats, and most of all... criminals and mobsters.
Razor checked his tracking device and gasped, " Hey guess what T-Bone were almost close to Callie." T-Bone check the tracking device and notice that they were only two block's away from Callie and Sally.
" It's only a hop, skip and Jump away Razor, that thing works great." T-Bone said. Razor smiled and said with pride, " Well there is no question about that, it's made by me."
" Uh huh. Let's get walking and get Callie."
T-Bone and Razor began to walk across the street until T-Bone heard the screeching of car tires and they saw a blinding car light. Instinctively, T-Bone grabbed Razor and barely dodged out of the car's way. Whoever was driving the car immediately stepped on the breaks causing the car to screech on the road the friction started to make a white cloud that smelled like burning rubber and stopped right in the middle of the street. The car shut off, the door opened, and Felina popped out waving to Razor, and T-Bone who look mad, "Hi guys what's up?"
" What's up?" T-Bone yelled, " You mean, who almost got hit!" Felina rolled her eyes at T-Bone and said without a care in the world, " Well you move out the way didn't you? So where's Miss. Briggs?"
" Before me and my partner and me was almost hit by you we were going to go 'n get her." T-Bone said. All of a sudden, the passenger sidecar door opened and Katie fell out onto the ground. Unfortunately for her there was a puddle there," Sorry Felina my seatbelt was stuck again and I-" Katie looked up and saw Razor's hidden face she blinked a couple of times to see if it was a dream, but it was Razor in the flesh and fur. Quickly she got up, attempt to dry herself off, even though her uniform was still damp, and jogged over to Felina's side, " Hey guys- Felina stop looking at me weird- ok let's go get Miss. Briggs and that kid, alright."
Razor, T-Bone, Felina and Katie finally arrived at the place where the tracking device was taking them and it leaded them to an abandon warehouse that was very dirty. The windows and the doors were boarded up and it look like there wasn't a way in side the building. Katie look at the halfway dilapidated building and made a soft whistle, " Razor are ya sure this is the place? I mean it looks a little crappy and I think there's no way inside." Razor look at the tracking device and everything was working ok. Razor said, " It hast to be, it says Miss. Briggs is in that building."
Katie climb up the steps and tried to push the door open but it didn't budge, " Man It won't budge." Katie leaned her back onto the boarded up door and slowly the door opened causing Katie to fall on her back, " Ow! Crud what's gonna happen next?!" Razor T-Bone and Felina jogged through the door and help Katie up. Your alright?" Razor asked. Katie looked at Razor and snapped, " Do I look alright to ya? I just fell on my back and-"
" Shut up." T-Bone growled, " Do you guys hear that?"
" Hear what?" Razor, Katie, and Felina asked.
T-Bone use his hearing sense and tried to figure it out what it is, " I hear something...it's ...it's high heel shoes."
" I don't hear that I just hear old pipes leaking." Katie said.
" Well I do, and the it sounds close, follow me." T-Bone started to lead the way. Felina tapped on Razor's shoulder and said, " I didn't know T-Bone have really good hearing."
" You think that's good, he could smell food half a mile away." Said Razor.
The group was walking along a dark damp hallway until they found a large empty spaced lined with boxes and the moonlight that was coming through the glass panel ceiling that look like it wasn't wash in quite some time. While T-Bone, Razor, Felina and Katie were on the left side of the warehouse, Sally was on the right.
' I wish Callie was here,' Sally thought. She was hiding behind a large wooden crate. Trembling in fear because not only she was chilly but also she was beginning to doubt of someone or anyone helping her or Callie.
' What if the Swat Kats have to get rid of some monster and forgot about me? Or maybe, what if they were jumped by those cats who got me and Callie, or what if they crashed?' Once again, Sally started to tear up, but then she heard Lenny and Benny's footsteps,
" Ya think the Valley girl is long gone man? I mean this place is just a big ol' warehouse with a buncha leaky pipes man, she could be lost or slipped and crack her skull or something." Lenny whispered.
The Swat Kats and the two enforcers hid behind a large crate. Katie gasped, " Felina ya think those got ta be the guys who kidnap Miss. Briggs and Sally?"
Benny scratched his arm and whispered, " Naw, I think the kid must be hiding behind these stupid boxes. You go over there, I'll go over here, and when ya see the kid yell alright."
Felina stared at Benny's bandaged head, which had spots of dried blood. She remembered that the middle age cat told her that Callie hit one of the cats on the head. She gasped, " Katie you are right these are the guys who abduct Miss. Briggs and Sally."
" So let's go and get them!" T-Bone growled, he was about to get out of hiding and go beat up those two guys but Razor hold him back," T-Bone we just can't go and beat up on people, we have to see what were dealing with."
Sally began to hear footsteps that were coming closer and closer to her. She starts to panic and she looked around for a new area for herself to hide in. Finally, she found another dark hallway that had a door that was marked EXIT. Sally jet towards the door until she had to stop and look at that familiar blond haired shecat, Sally rubbed her eyes and she whispered to herself, " Callie? Is that you?" and she was right, that was Callie. Sally jogged towards Callie and whispered, " Callie! I'm so glad I found you! How did you escape?"
Katie squint her eyes and whispered, " Hey there's Miss. Briggs But why she's out in the open like that? Those two guys can find her."
' Great." Callie thought, 'She didn't go through the door yet.' Sally look into Callie's bright green eyes and notice something was wrong, " Hey Callie what's wrong are you hurt?" Sally grabbed onto Callie's arm and started to pull her towards the exit, " Come on let's get out of this place before those two guys find us and-"
Callie tighten her fist, she was mad with Sally and was mad at what she was about to do,' I'm sorry what I'm going to do to you sis but it's for your own good.' Callie thought.
" No." Callie said coldly.
Sally was shock; she turned around stunned, " What do you mean Callie? I found the exit and-" Callie quickly snatched her arm away from Sally loose grip and yelled, " No!"
' What in the heck is Callie doing?' T-Bone thought, ' Now those two guys know where she's at.'
" Hey Benny I think I heard that lady's voice C'mon let's get her." Lenny whispered. Sally heard the footsteps of two cats running towards her, she started panicking and she grabbed Callie's arm again and started running towards the exit, " Come on Callie we got to get out of here before its-"
" No Sally!" Callie stopped right in her tracks and grabbed Sally's arm very tightly. Sally tried to struggle away from Callie's grip but it was no use, she looked at her sister with confused eyes and asked, " Callie are you crazy, those guys are going to hurt us."
' I'm sorry sis but I got to do this.' Callie thought. Callie screamed, " Shut up!"
" Is Miss. Briggs losing it or what?" Katie said. Felina stared at Callie and said aloud, " Something not right with her... I think-"
" You think so too?" Katie and Razor said together.
" I can't believe what you guys are thinkin' about Miss. Briggs wouldn't do that." Said T-Bone, " You guys probably looking at it totally wrong."
Sally was stunned, she never heard Callie yell like that before, except when she broke her portable CD player when she was a little kitten even though that was a accident. None of the less Sally knew something was wrong. Callie continued, " What are you doing!"
" I-I just wanted us to get out of here Callie." Sally said trying not to sob, she pointed to the exit sign and said, " I was brave just like you said and I found the exit over their. We can get out of this scary place and-"
" Well what made you think I wanted to leave? Huh?" Callie said in a bossy way.
" What are you talking about?"
" What I mean is I'm going to stay here and to show the boss I mean business, " Callie grabbed Sally and started to pull her towards Lenny and Benny, " I'm gonna personally had you over to him."
Sally started to struggle out of Callie's grip sobbing, " Callie stop it, please, how could you do this aren't we sisters?"
" Were not sisters!" Callie growled, " I'm adopted remember we have no blood relation."
Sally still continued to get out of Callie's grasp but she figured, what was the use, and she quit. Benny and Lenny walk up to Callie with Sally in her grip. Benny made an evil smile and said, " So ya actually did it huh."
" Yeah, I finally got the little brat in my hands." Callie sneered.
Tears started to roll down Sally cheeks. She said repeated under her breath, " Why?" Benny snatch Sally away from Callie and poor Sally cried with fear. Benny looked at Sally with his dangerous eyes and grinned, "Well look it here. A little Valley Girl was runnin' away from us."
" The boss is gonna be happy when he finds out we got this kid, huh Miss. Briggs." Said Lenny.
Callie made an sinister laugh and smiled, " Yeah, and imagine all the money we'll make once we take it all out of the treasury."
" I don't think Miss. Briggs lost her marbles," Katie said with alarm, " She's helpin' the other guys." But there was someone lurking behind the small cat. Closer and closer, he continued to walk towards Katie, who was unaware of his presents. Katie look around and whispered, " Hey guys doesn't it feels like someone's watching us? I mean I- OW MY TAIL!"
Katie quickly look behind her and she found the large orange colored cat that escorted Callie grabbing on her tail and clutching on it tightly. He snarled, " I hate Enforcers!" The large cat lifted her from off the ground. Katie was hanging upside down and it felt like her whole tail was going to be ripped out, Katie screamed in pain, " Leggo it hurts!"
" Let her go!" Razor ordered. He aimed his Gloveatrix at the orange cat and shoot out gray cement at the orange cat's face and it was a direct target,
" Bull's-eye!" Razor shouted cheerfully, but it was short lived. Because it just made the orange cat really, really, mad.
He wiped the gray cement off his face and roared " And I hate Swat Kats!"
" Run he's gonna go after you guys!" Shouted Katie. The orange cat hustled towards Felina, Razor and T-Bone and smashed the three of them through the wooden crates. Then the orange cat walked over to Razor who was moaning in pain, and grabbed him by the neck. He lifted him up in the air and made a twisted sick smile and laughed while he look at the small Swat Kat trying to fill precious air into his lungs. T-Bone quickly regained where his surroundings were and found his partner being chocked to death, " Razor!" T-Bone shouted in horror. He mad a mad dash towards the large cat (nearly twice the size of T-Bone) and was about to tackle him football style onto the ground, but the large orange cat punched him with the hand that Razor was being chocked with and T-Bone flew across the room and crash through wooden crates,
" What's this guy's on! Steroids?!" T-Bone moaned.
Felina sat up, shook her head, and looked for Razor and T-Bone, she found Razor being choked to death by that large orange cat, and T-Bone was down. She was about to stand up and help out the two until she felt a stinging pain around her ankle. She fell back down and screamed in pain, " Crud! My ankle's broke!"
Benny pulled out a twenty and waved it in Lenny's face, " Hey Lenny, I'll give ya twenty dollars sayin' that he's gonna die in one minute." Lenny pulled out a thirty and said, " I say two man."
Callie hand out her hand to Benny and said, " Give me your gun now."
" What! Lady this is mine gun! Get your own! It's mine!"
" Just give me the gun you idiot!" Callie yelled. She snatched the gun away from Benny and Callie started to walk towards Felina thinking,
' I can't believe I'm doing this!'
Hanging upside down, Katie was looking at Razor, his eyes were closed and it looked like he was about to stop breathing any second.
' Crap! I gotta do something before he passes out, but what can I do, I CANT FREAKIN' MOVE!' Katie thought. Her whole body felt paralyzed because of that large orange cat squeezing on her tail. In fact, if you hit, squeeze, or pull on her tail she can hardly move. Then Katie had an idea. She started to move her legs back and forth like she was on a swing, then she gained enough momentum that she reach towards the orange cat's face and kicked him directly on the nose. The large cat screamed and he dropped Razor onto the ground along with Katie and covered his nose crying in pain. Quickly Katie crawled over to Razor, lift his head and cried,
" Razor! W-wake up, breath or something!"
Razor slowly opened his eyes and saw Katie's worried face. He smiled weakly and said, " Hey Katie."
" Hi Razor." Katie smilled.
T-Bone stood up slowly, walked over to Razor and grinned, " Hey buddy are ya alright?"
Razor was about to answer T-Bone's question until Callie shouted, " Your not going to feel alright once were done with you guys."
T-Bone, Razor, Katie and Felina were surrounded by Lenny, and Benny who found another gun, and Callie who felt like she had butterflies in her stomach, she swallowed hard and ordered, " You guys got two choices, either surrender your weapons and give up-"
" What in the heck are ya talkin' about Miss. Briggs." T-Bone said, " Are ya ok?"
" Or you, Razor, and the two enforcers will die," Callie ordered. Her voice sound certain, however she couldn't stop shaking the gun. She swallowed again and continued, " Think you can dodge bullets T-Bone?"
" Miss. Briggs calm down, put the gun down before ya-"
Before T-Bone could finish talking to Callie, she accidentally pulled the trigger, and if T-Bone didn't jump back in time he would of got shot in the foot. Callie realize what she did and gasped,
' Oh my god! I almost shot T-Bone! Umm...ok Callie just play it off before they notice.' Callie thought. She tightened her grip on the gun and ordered in a bossy way, " Do as I say or I will not miss again."
" Alright Miss. Briggs!" Razor aimed his Glovatrix directly at Callie and was about to fire until something in his mind was holding him back. He tried to fight it but he was losing the battle. Immediately he shouted, " Nobody's gonna shoot at my partner and going to get away from it. Not even you!"
Callie aimed the handgun towards Razor and yelled, " Do as I say or-" Callie look at Benny who was stupidly laughing while holding his gun. She yelled,
" Hey you! Where did my sister go?!"
" Uhh...oh. I must of didn't watch her when I was looking for dis gun ya see and umm."
" You idiot!" Callie wanted to physically harm to Benny for what he did but instead she grabbed Benny by the collar of his shirt and hissed, " Go find Sally NOW!"
" There's no need Cal I got her." Zack walked over to Callie holding onto one of Sally's pigtails. The gray teenager looked like she just didn't care anymore if she was caught or not.
" How did you get her?" Callie asked.
" She bumped into me while she was running." Said Zack, " And when she tried to get away the only thing I could of catch was her pigtails...so...that's it."
" All I wanted to do was to go home." Sallie muttered, " But no, I had to get caught by the mob, locked in a dungeon, my older sister hates me, and this man is pulling on my hair.... Why is this happening to me?" Sally sighed and she shook her head.
Zack stared at Razor and T-Bone and said nonchalantly, " Umm. You guys are new. Who are you?"
" No. Who are YOU. " T-Bone said, coldly.
" I asked first."
" My question is important then yours."
" No MY QUESTION!"
" MY QUESTION!"
" MY QUESTION!"
Lenny interrupted the argument and said, " Um. Boss these are da Swat Kats man, the small one's named Razor and the fat one's named T-Bone." Felina also added, " And Swat Kat's this is Zack Wiskerson...Ow my leg."
" Wow. I got a couple of loonies runnin' around thinking their super heroes after me now."
" Shawdup Wiskerson." T-Bone growled, " Or I'll-"
" Do what?" Zack said, " Shoot me? You got three people surrounding you and not only you have two cats who are advanced in hand weaponry. So, do you super hero's know how to dodge bullets too?"
T-Bone muttered. Outside, Felina and Sally was pushed into the damp room that was next door to Razor and T-Bone, but Katie was holding her ground,
" You bastard! You better let me go or I'll-"
" Or WHAT?" Benny yelled. He lifted Katie up clutching her stomach and started walking her into the small room. Katie started kicking and screaming, " Your not gonna put me in that room!"
" Shut up!" Benny whined. He threw Katie inside and slammed the door onto her tail. Katie shrieked in pain and yelled slurs of not very good words at him. Benny laughed and shouted, " Maybe that'll shut you up." As the two cats walked away Benny sighed, " Of all the girls I had ta hold why I got ta get the one with the hole in her ear."
" Ya mean the skinny-ugly-small one with the unkempt-red-hair-with-the-hole-in-her-left-ear-tomboy?" Lenny asked.
" Yeah that one. I swear, that's the last time I'm not going to hold the ugly ones again."
Inside the room Katie was thrown in was the same one that Sally was in. Katie roared and stomped towards a corner of the damp room...and she was fuming mad. She curled up into a ball and screamed, " Stupid, I don't have red hair, its orange."
Sally went into the corner and slumped down to the floor and sobbed, " I can see the news now, if I'm alive, Deputy Mayor Goes Bad Locks Sister in Dungeon For Dead. Were all doomed."
Felina looked at Sally and patted her on her shoulder and the brown-eyed girl look at her with her sad brown eyes, " You know kid, you shouldn't think like that. It's unhealthy for your age."
" I always think like this I can't help it." Sally answered, she curled her legs up and laid her head onto her knees, " Ever since I was a little kitten I was afraid of..." Sally started to chuckle, " Well...everything. But my parents and Callie made me not scared of things that much anymore. Until..." Sally started to remember images of that last day, her eyes started to tear and she buried her eyes in her yellow sleeves,
" ...Until there was a freak storm out at sea and the boat must of hit some rocks or something. Water started to flow inside and it capsized."
Katie sat on the floor with her bruised tail entering into the conversation, " You mean that cruse accident three years ago?"
Sally shook her head, " Yes. They were helping some of the other passengers to the life boats." Tears rolled down her cheeks and she wiped them off with her sleeve, " They thought they had time, but they were so wrong. The boat went under along with my parents and a few of the others. Nobody couldn't save them because they were afraid the lifeboats would go along with it too. I told them don't go on the cruse because the boat is going to sink, or malfunction or something bad is going to happen. But Dad said, sweetie nothing's going to happen, cruse boats don't sink, you should think positive. After that he gave me a present, the same picture of him, Mom, Callie and me that he put in his shoe so when the MBC building has to evacuate because of a bomb threat or something he wouldn't feel so scared." Sally look at her right shoe sadly and continued, " That was the last thing my Dad ever gave to me, and you know what, it's not working now..."
Next to the girl's prison, Razor was already busy drilling a hole threw the door to escape. T-Bone however was listening in on Sally's conversation thru the walls, " Poor kid, and she went through all that. Nobody should go through that."
" Imagine what it did to Callie." Razor said.
" Who cares about Callie." T-Bone growled. He started to walk back to back to each side of the wall while waiting for Razor to finish the job, " She abandoned her sister, almost killed us all, and sold herself out to that stupid english jerk." The large Swat Kat started to crack his knuckles thinking of harming Zack, " Oh, I love to ring his neck and kick his tail all over the city." After he finish thinking semi-evil thoughts he folded his arms and started to remember the highly detailed cut out of Callie holding a handgun, he still couldn't believe it.
" Well, it was always in the back of my head." Razor stated.
" What do you mean?"
" I mean, ever since you... and...her..." T-Bone stared at Razor for a response but instead the burnt orange cat exhaled and went back to making that circle, " Aww. Never mind, just forget what I said."
There was a moment of silence between the two cats. T-Bone stood in one spot looking at his friend with worried eyes. Finally, after a few seconds it popped into mind,
" What a minute... oh no it's the " you and her" incident again."
T-Bone knew eventually that Razor was going to talk about the "you and her" incident and he couldn't take Razor being paranoid all the time. So he took a deep breath to ready himself and he asked, " Razor are you scared of the cats on our side going to turn on you?"
Razor continued to work, almost completing his task trying to ignore the question. T-Bone was getting inpatient with him and he growled, " Razor did you even hear me!? I said-"
" Sometimes." Razor said. He turned around and made a sad sigh, " I mean, when you went on her side I thought you betrayed me and I didn't know what to do. After we bust her and she ended up in the litterbin everything was ok until I started thinking, what if you wasn't acting, what if you did switch sides on me, or what about Commander Feral, Felina or even Callie. So I started to prepare myself mentally, like playing a trick on my mind like. Just incase it ever happened and even prepare myself if they do attack."
T-Bone turned around to the wall and asked, " Well Razor if you tried to trick yourself incase they attack then why didn't you fire your glovatrix at Callie."
Razor's ears perked up. Why did he have to ask that question, he thought. He pretended he didn't hear T-Bone and went back to work.
' He's ignoring me,' T-Bone thought, ' Well I have to dig it out of him.'
T-bone folded his arms again and he said with spite, " If you couldn't even shoot at her and you trained yourself then why didn't you do it, Razor, we didn't have to end up in here ya know."
" I don't know." Razor said. Even though with the tone of voice he had he wanted to say something else.
The large Swat Kat started to walk back and forth interrogating him, " What was wrong Razor, you couldn't aim."
" I had her in sight T-Bone."
" Then why didn't you do it."
" I don't know."
" You were only a few feet from Callie."
" I know that T-Bone."
" I coulda tackle her to the ground and took the gun out of her hands. Why didn't you do that instead."
" I don't know."
" Why didn't you do it, huh. Scared."
" I...I...Don't-"
" You had dust in your eyes or are you going blind?"
" N-no T-Bone." Razor growled.
" Are ya loosing your edge?"
" N-no T-Bone leave me alone."
Razor tried to ignore T-Bone for as long as he can, and was doing a good job of doing it. Until-
" I know what it is... you can't cut it."
Razor turned his head and shouted, " Y-yes I can."
" No you can't, " T-Bone growled, " You can't even bring down Callie! How could you, of all cats, be a Swat Kat."
" I'm a Swat Kat now," Razor muttered, " I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far."
T-Bone laughed with anger and he shouted, " What if Katie was held hostage by Callie, huh?"
Razor's hand was shaking with anger; he couldn't say anything to defend himself. However, he was holding himself together until T-Bone said,
" Oh I know what's going to happen, you're going to start aiming right after she shoots Katie."
And that was the last draw for him, Razor burst out shouting, " I aimed the glovatrix and I had everything but...but something was holding me back. Like some voice in my head telling me that it was wrong, and I was trying to fight it, but I couldn't do it T-Bone! I couldn't do it! Maybe your are right, maybe I-I cant cut it. I can't even bring down Callie, how can I take out larger cats out there!"
But all of a sudden Razor stomped up to T-Bone, grabbed him by the collar and lowered him down to his eyes. Face to face " And I wouldn't let Callie or Feral or ANYBODY ever physically or mentally hurt Katie for as long as I live and even before I'm dead! YA GOT THAT!"
After a long pause, Razor quickly let go of T-Bone's collar and apologized to him as he never did before, " I-I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over me and-"
T-Bone patted him on the shoulder and smiled apologetically, " Don't worry about it buddy. I know some cats are going to betray us, but most of them on our side are not going to turn on use any time soon. And it's going to be hard facing them when they go bad, were only cats... But I'll promise one thing to you Razor."
Razor looked at T-Bone, " What's that?"
" I'm not going to ditch you anytime soon buddy, so stop getting all worked up over it 'cause your driving me nuts."
Razor smiled and went back to work, " That's all I need to here." Razor made the last incision on the door and with a loud thud the dropped out onto the floor.
In Enforcer Headquarters Felina waking with Steel was in crutches explaining everything from what happened to the time she was interviewing the middle aged cat to when they escape the abandon warehouse, " So after the Swat Kats set us free we figure that since the Deputy Mayor was with Wiskerson then they will go to City Hall. Katie volunteered to go with the Swat Kats and since I sprang my ankle I'm no good so I drove Miss. Briggs sister to headquarters, to see if she had any other relatives to stay with."
However, it seems like Steele had a problem listening to her,
" Then where's Katiez?" Steele asked while playing Tic-Tac-Toe on his yellow notepad.
Felina was getting annoyed and losing her patients with Steele, " I already told you Steele, she's with the Swat Kats were you not listening to me!?"
" Darn, I was going to ask her out and look what's she's doing out in the streets, flying with those vigilantes," Steele said with a hint of envy. Steele walked back and forth thinking aloud his plan, even though Felina couldn't believe that he had the brainpower to do that, " Should I take her to my place first, then dinner and then back to my place? Or should it be, dinner then my place, and then her place."
" You idiot." Felina hissed, "she's going to say no because you are a loser."
" Listen Feral, " Steele lectured while he tore the paper with stick drawings of cats, rolled it up in a ball and tossing it aside. He started talking to Felina as if she was lower then him,
" Katie Katiez should be lucky enough the I, David Steele, is slightly interested in her to ask her out. With the measly amount of ample time I have for my self, I can't believe she says no to an important figure of my self." He finished writing something on his pad then he asked with haste, " So where is the other Briggs?" Felina pointed towards a depressed Sally who was sitting at the end of a long wooden bleacher next to her was a row of unusual cats, from she kats to tomcats to kittens to old cats. However, Steele suspected a full figured teenage girl sitting where Felina pointed towards but all he saw was a ordinary, plain, teenage shekat. Is this girl supposed to be a member of the Briggs family? Steele thought. He scratched his head and asked, " This is Sally Briggs?" He took another look at Sally and he was dumbfounded " She-but- wha? How-"
Felina arched her eyebrows, " You was suspecting a smaller version of Miss. Briggs?"
" This can't be Miss. Briggs sister." Steele said, " She looks so...so... plain she's suppose to stand out."
Sally looked up at him with her hesitant eyes with a question on her mind, " Sir, I was wondering if I could call my-,"
Steele went up close face to face from the gray teenage shekat inspecting her as if she was a science project. He scratched his head and looked at Felina, " She doesn't look like the deputy mayor or have any of her features."
Sally was scared and beginning to feel very uncomfortable and very nervous. Did I do something wrong, she thought.
Steele looked at Sally again and said loudly, " Hey kid, where's your green eyes, blond hair, no hourglass shape, your glasses?"
Sally was stuttering, she didn't know what to say. She knew that they weren't biologically related but why would anybody ask her that. " I-I-I-"
" Are you a imposter or are you adopted?" Steele asked waiting for an answer, " I know the Briggs family wouldn't have such a plain looking kid hanging around with them so which one are you?"
Felina grabbed him by the collar, dragged him away from her, and whispered with anger, "You idiot you don't ask out of the blue if you're adopted like that!"
" Hey I just wanted to know Feral so but out, okay."
Felina shut her eyes tight and growled, " Your going to freak her out she very sensitive!"
" So what?" Steele said, " She looks like any other cat on the street Feral she's probably an imposter, don't you know the Briggs family is one of the most prestigious families in Mega Kat City. "
" And?" Felina hissed, " She's related I said so myself."
" Doesn't matter," Steele argued back, " Do you know how many low life, middle lower-class, no nothing, ally cat losers in this city want to be the around the high class aristocrats? Especially since ninety-nine percent of those cats in this city is the low life, no nothing, lower middle-class, ally cat losers? You probably know how it feels to be like those cats since your father's a penniless Lounge Lizard comedian anyway."
Felina's fur raised and she growled with anger, " Why you-"
As the two lieutenant started to argue each other Sally was resting her head on her hand sadly staring at nothing, " How can Callie say that? Sure she's adopted, but were still family. And why does everybody think I'm the adopted one, she is." She thought.
Sally looked around the office and seen two shekats, the other one who looked tough, speak in a heavy Texan accent,
" Yeah me and my sister robbed the bank whattaya gonna do buster!" The tough shekat's sister was more petite and less scary, and like her sister, she had a Texan accent,
" Yep were gonna be in the history books, once we git a lawyer! Right sis." The enforcer told them to shut up and he pushed them through a hallway filled with handcuffed cats.
Sally looked down and sighed, " What's going to happen now since Callie's going to run away or end up in prison."
A middle-aged petite shekat with light brown fur and long black wavy hair that was put up in a quick bun on top was sitting across from Sally. The shekat smiled at her. She moved her seat away from the overweight tomcat with grease stains on his undershirt next to Sally.
" Little girl are you alright you look like your in distress?" The nice shekat said, " And at such a young age too, you should be the one getting in trouble not worrying like a parent."
Sally weakly smiled, she thought she was the nicest cat she ever met since she entered in the headquarters, " It's nice that you are concerned. But...But."
" Your worried about something?" The petite shekat asked.
Sally was surprised, " Huh? How did you know?"
" I'm a mother with kids," The petite shekat explained, " Kind of like a hidden six sense that reveals itself when you become one. Anyway, why are you worried? You're lost? Don't worry, my husband and me lived here in this city for years," The petite shekat giggled and her gold, or yellow or green (or whatever eye color she had) eyes gleamed, " We can find our way through this city blindfolded while one of our legs is tied to the other."
Sally shook her head, " No. No. It's not that, it's my sister; she did something bad...very bad....'Maximum-Security-Prison-For-Life' bad."
The middle-aged shekat apologetically smiled, " Oh my goodness I'm so sorry-Oh! I know what can cheer you up!" The petite shekat open up her black pocketbook and started to look through it for the item that was suppose to 'cheer' Sally up. As she was looking through her messy pocket book, Sally started to ponder about the future, " I may end up staying with Aunt Amelia and Uncle Donald, but they're so snobby sometimes. Especially Aunt Amelia and Cousin Sasha. She'll probably make me act like Sasha and go hang out with the mean preppy kids around the club and date the guys and dress like her...Yuck! And Aunt Amelia probably wouldn't let me visit Callie if she gets thrown in prison since she and Callie don't get along." Sally sighed out of distressed and continued thinking aloud, " I wish Callie didn't turn bad." The petite shekat was still looking through her pocketbook, but she did listen to Sally, " Your sister name is Callie you said?"
Sally nodded, " Uh huh."
The petite shekat eyes glimmered at Sally and said with an exiting tone, " My second oldest son, his name is Jake Clawson says he fixed her car a couple of times. He says she's very pretty and his friend Chance was trying to impress her and when she was leaving she ...wait I think Chance was the one who got winked at...no... I think it backfired and Jake was the one...or did she..." Ms. Clawson paused and laughed lightly tapping Sally's shoulder, " Wait. I rather not say anything, that's how rumors get started."
Sally laughed, " Hey. My sister did a play like that when she was the lead actress in school called " How Rumor's Get Started" It's about a girl who's affected by these rumors in school and she had to act like a good girl turned-"
Then something jumped into mind, Sally gasped and said aloud, " Those things she said weren't true!"
" What's not true?" One rough looking tomcat said wearing handcuffs.
Sally rose up from her seat and said, " My sister was just acting! She's not a bad person after all!"
One cat with swish cheese type ears shouted at Sally, " Who's not a bad person?"
" My sister!" Sally gleamed. She rose up and ran out of the front doors, " I got to tell the others before it's too late!"
A loud cat with long whiskers was shouting, " Hey kid ya figure that out all by yourself?! I'll pay ya a thousand bucks to be my lawyer!"
" Me too!" one cat shouted.
" My lawyer's a crook!" another cat shouted, " I rather go with her." When Sally made a mad dash out of the Headquarters, Ms. Clawson quickly rose up and walk towards Felina and Steele who was still arguing, " Excuse me?"
" Yes M'am." Felina greeted.
" You know that sweet gray young lady with the brown pigtails and brown eyes?"
Felina was getting worried, " Yes?"
" Well, I thought she was going to cry her little heart out, so I started talking to her to ease her troubled mind, but then she jumped out of her seat and ran out of here."
" Oh no she ran away!" Felina cried.
" Great!" Steele shouted, " This is not only your fault Feral but if Katie would of come back to headquarters and actually do her job, watching the little brat, this wouldn't of happen!"
" That girl wasn't a brat," Ms. Clawson defended, " She was the sweetest thing next to my daughter Josie." However, Steele and Felina didn't hear what she said because they were trying to yell over each other. After a minute of arguing Steele was dominate in their argument, " But no, she's goes around the city with a couple of brainless, slow, hotshot vigilantes in dark suits. We could of at least had someone in this place to actually not disappear!" Steele stomped away and bawled, " I should report to the commander how she's running around with those vigilantes, that'll bring down her chances of becoming a lieutenant."
Felina started to walk with Steele growling with anger, " You better not Steele or I'll bust your tail-"
Steele stopped and turned around," But why should I waste my time with some tomboy with a hole in her ear, that's her loss."
The cats in the headquarters were all listening in on the intense argument. If a pin would of dropped, everybody would of hear it.
Felina cleared her throat and narrowed her eyes, " As a fellow lieutenant Steele I can tell you myself that she's doing her job two hundred percent, and she one of the few best enforcers we have in this city. Also, the Swat Kat's are better then twenty pilots put together so you don't know what you're talking about, which is ninety-nine percent of the time."
Steele sighed with anger and stomped away, " I don't know what you guys see in those cats, they aren't nothing."
" The Swat Kats are intelligent, polite, head strong, tough, talented, and I have to add good looking nice guys who knows how to treat a lady. Characteristics that you, David, never had, have never shown, and will never have in your nine lives." Felina started to walk towards the exit door. Enraged and highly embarrassed Steele yelled, " Feral where the heck do you think your going!?"
" I'm going to find commander Feral at the warehouse. How about doing your job for a change." And with that Felina walked out and slammed the door.
Everyone was quiet and staring at Steele and some guys were snorting underneath their breath. Ms. Clawson finally saw a window of opportunity. She went through her pocket book took out a white slip of paper and casually walked over to Steele with a smile on her face and said in her nicest tone, " Excuse me Lieutenant Steele can I pay this car ticket now? I've been waiting for almost three hours."
Steele snatched the ticket from Ms. Clawson, " Sure."
Ms. Clawson gave him the money upfront and nodded, " Thank you Mr. Steele."
" You welcome."
Ms. Clawson walk straight towards the door and opened it she was about to walk out until she paused and look back, " Excuse me Mr. Steele but since I am a mom and all, I always tell my children this: If you don't have nothing nice to say-"
" DON'T SAY IT AT ALL!!" Everybody shouted.
" 'Cause that way nice cats won't scream at you so much." Mrs. Clawson said giving a friendly smile. And with that, she walked out the office.
The rough looking shekat with the Texan accent smiled with humor, " Insult with injury, someone just got cursed out, huh sis?"
The petite shekat didn't hear her sister. She was scratching her head with a complex look in her eye, " I always thought the Swat Kats were handsome, but I always did like Razor the best, he's a fine lookin' guy if I say so myself."
