Tricked Chapter 2 Part Three
Disclaimer: how many times do I have to tell you lawyers! I do not own the Swat Kat's or any of the characters. And if your thinking about suing me then you looking the wrong place to get money 'cause I don't have a penny.
Since the warehouse district wasn't that far from City Hall, it only took Zack, Callie, Benny, Lenny and Tiny, thirty-five minutes to get there. It was just like Zack said when he was explaining the plan, it wasn't that hard to get inside the back doors then through the front and it wasn't that hard to take the elevator on the second floor. Once they reach the thirtieth floor, Callie put it the pin code and they entered the financial office. " Wow. That was easy." Callie said surprisingly. Zack pulled out the black disk and smiled, " And it's all going to be really easy once you put in the code for the computer." Callie walked over to the computer and type in the ten number pin code. Zack put the disk inside, did some typing, and it was done. He put the disk filled with the treasury money inside his pants pocket and said, " That's it. Now let's get out of here."
" Not so fast Zack." Benny, Lenny and the large orange cat pointed their guns at the two cats. Callie went close to Zack and whispered, " Zack what are they doing? Is this part of the plan?"
" No. Ugh why didn't I think this would happen now."
Benny made a sinister laugh and smiled, " Well, look at dis! Zack Wiskerson made a wrong c-cacula-caa...uhh..."
" Calculation?" Both Zack and Callie corrected.
" Shawdup!" Benny yelled, " I know how to say Cowculation! Now you twos go to dat chair, sit down and shawd up!" Zack and Callie stared blankly at Benny, for a few seconds Zack finally broke the silence, " Which chair Benny? This is an office full of chairs... you idiot."
Zack got Benny really aggravated, Benny yelled out of frustration and pointed to a black leathered office chair, " Dat's it! Yous twos sit in that chair- yeah the same chair!"
Since Callie and Zack didn't bring any weapons to protect themselves, they did what Benny ordered and sat in the same office chair; Lenny tied the two up together. Unfortunately for Callie, she had to sit across Zack's lap.
" Ha ha! Now I'm in charge now! Everything's gonna go my way and YOUR not gonna tell me what to do Zack."
Zack narrowed his eyes and said, " How could you be in charge if I had to help you count your change when you buy something at the store?"
" Shut up Zack," Benny yelled, "Or I'll shot the blond! Now give me the disk or I'll-"
" What? Spend it all at Seven-Eleven?" said Callie.
" Ohh. That's a good one Cal." Said Zack.
" Thanks."
Benny pointed his gun at Callie and shouted even louder, " Now don't you start that blond before I blow ya brains out! If ya got any."
" Look who's talking." Callie said.
Zack trying to hold his laughter snorted," Ohh, another one, she's on a roll Benny."
Benny was fuming mad but he passed it off with an laugh," Well yous two won't be talkin' crap anymore once these things go off!" The large orange cat zipped open his red duffle bag and inside was seven-
" Bombs!" Callie and Zack said together.
" Yep bombs! I did it all by my self- NO I DON'T WANTA COOKIE ZACK- it's gonna go off in about two hours...or was it an half an hour..."
" Yo Benny, ya set it on an hour in a half." Lenny corrected. Benny blankly look at Lenny, " Anyway I'm gonna put these next to ya Zack and I'm gonna leave and be filthy rich!" Benny snatched the red duffle bag from the large orange cat and tossed the bag of bombs next to Zack and Callie.
" You're not going to get away from this!" Zack yelled, "If I'm not going to get you Benny the enforcers are going to eventually!"
Callie narrowed her eyes and said, " And if the enforcers can't catch you then the Swat Kats are going to bust your tail!"
Benny laughed and smiled, " The enforcers!? The Swat Kats!? Those guys can't touch me once I make it to the border. While I'll be in a tropical resort with girls in bikini servin' me drinks while sitting in a beach chair, you guys are gonna be six feet under."
Benny walked over to Zack's and roughly search his hands in his pants pocket and pulled out the disk that's filled with the money, " That's all I need from ya, Zack. C'ya around, in peaces."
" Go to hell!" Zack roared.
" You first." Benny smirked, He walked away from Zack and pointed his gun towards Lenny and Tiny, " Along with you twos."
Tiny looked at Lenny and Lenny had a confused look on his face, " What the? Benny what are ya talkin' about?"
" If you think I'm going to split the money then you must be out of your mind! " Benny said with anger. He point the gun directly at Tiny and shouted, " Far's I know you was probably with Wiskerson from square one, so I'm not talkin' any chances with you! So back off towards Wiskerson and the blond!"
Tiny raised his hand and started to back away from the crazed cat slowly and without any sudden movements. While Benny's attention was solely on Tiny, Lenny was quietly sneaking towards him to snatch the gun out of his hands, until Benny perked up to what happened and aimed the gun directly Lenny ready to shoot, " What the heck are ya doin'!"
Quickly Lenny took two steps back and pleaded, " Benny calm down, were not going to do anything to ya. I wasn't goin' to do anythin' to ya, I swear it."
" Oh yeah!" Benny shouted. Then a loud bang and the smell of faint gun smoke filled the room and a scream woven with pain came out of Lenny. Callie gasped and looked at Lenny, who collapsed on the floor holding his left leg groaning in pain, it appears the bullet went through that leg,
" I've seen you talkin' to one of them enforcers the other day." Benny said. " Tellen' all our business to dem."
Trying to suppress his pain, Lenny tried to speak but sometimes he sounded like he was holding his breath and gasping for air,
" Yeah, I was an informant Benjamin...so you think you won huh just 'cause you figured me out...But you don't know the damage we already done..."
As Lenny was talking, Callie felt Zack's hand moving on her leg, immediately she hissed, " Zack what the heck are you doing to my leg."
He signaled her to quiet down, " Lenny's making time for us."
" What does that have to do with what your doing with my leg?! And how did you free your hands?"
" He deliberately screwed up tying the rope without Tiny or Benny finding out, It was loose around my hands so I got them free and part of the rope looks like its loose around your leg."
" How long is it going to take to free us?" She asked.
" I don't know just give me time."
As Zack continued to untie himself and Callie, Lenny continued his speech trying to buy time for Zack, " We got all the evidence in the headquarters Benjamin...I can't wait to see your face when they get you. "
" Oh yeah!" Benny started to chuckle and pointed to Callie, " So with the fake info I got on the deputy mayor you guys wasted all ya time."
" What are ya talking about?" Callie shouted, " I was abducted from my car."
" You are so stupid!" Benny laughed and he sniffed his nose, " I spread a false rumor on you all over the city on how you em...em...em-embe-"
" Embezzled?" Everybody said except Tiny.
" I KNOW HOW THE HECK HOW TO SAY INBEDZLED!" Benny shouted out.
Lenny cracked a smile, " You shouldn't use words that you don't know how to say Benny."
" Shawd up!" Benny mumbled, " Anyway, I told everyone that you, Miss. Deputy Mayor, was going taking money out of the treasury and you would take the money out if you will get half."
Lenny's jaw dropped and he look like he had a sick look on his face, " And then I felled for the trick."
" Yep." Benny smiled, " And you told Zack all about it and he ended up getting the blonde ova here and get my money. You was thinkin' that if you bust me and the Deputy Mayor in one you'll be famous for it," He started to laugh and he shouted, " But the only thing you will be famous for is blowin' up yourself, Wiskerson, and the blond to kingdom come!" He made a warm smile and his beady eyes started to gloss with pride, " My old man would of finally be proud of me, if I didn't slip cyanide into his food."
" Your insane." Callie said.
" No I'm nuts, " Benny cracked, " And I don't give a damn." The crazed cat laughed once again and continued.
" Now with my very, very, very smart thinkin' I got a five in one deal. I get ta have all the money, I don't have to share it all, I can get rid of an enforcer scum like Lenny, I can get rid of the Deputy Mayor, and I finally can get rid of Zack from getting the title that I deserved."
" You don't deserve a damn thing!" Lenny shouted in anger, " Your father knew he was poisoned by you that's why he made Zack boss. He rather let someone who's not related to you run things instead of his own incompetent son!"
Benny's face started to turn red with anger, he aimed his gun at Lenny and growled, " Lenny, or who eva the heck your names is. You better shut up 'cause in a hour bit's of pieces of you are going to fly everywhere around the city."
After the last knot, Zack finally untied himself and Callie. She was about to jump out the chair and hit Benny for spreading rumors around about her until the dark gray cat grabbed her arm, " Wait a minute," Zack whispered, " When Benny turns his back I'll jump him and you get yourself out of here as fast as you can."
Callie had a worried expression in her green eyes, " B-But what about you Zack?"
" I'll be fine." Zack said with a half smile, "Just as long as you get out of here and go straight to headquarters, you'll be safe. That's all I care about right now Call, just to see that you're safe."
Callie nod her head, " Alright, but just don't get killed by him, Okay."
" I promise."
Benny twirled the gun in his hand and started to walk away backwards, " Now I'll be leaving ya guys." He waved goodbye and turned around walking out of the office room.
" Now!"
Callie jump out of Zack's lap and ran out of the way and Zack sprinted towards Benny and knocked him down towards the floor. The gun slipped out of Benny's hands and sided a few feet away from the two. The two cat's look at each others eyes breathing heavily looking to see who would be the first one to go for the gun. Benny crawled madly towards it trying to get it, but Zack tacked his legs trying to make the other cat immobile but Benny kicked him in the face a couple of times until Zack jumped on his back. Callie stood there looking at Zack struggling to not let Benny take the gun, " I can't leave him alone! I got to do something." She thought.
Lenny ripped off his left sleeve and wrapped it around his wound, " Lady you better listen to Zack." After the third wrap he made a knot and exhaled, " The enforcers by now think your one of the bad ones, you gotta clear your name or-"
" I don't care, Zack needs my help." She looked at the gun and she ran out of the room and into the hallway and quickly grabbed it before Benny could get it,
" Freeze Benny!" Callie shouted as loudly as she can. Benny froze in fear and crawled off of Zack, " I-I..."
" Get away from him!"
Benny cowardly crawled away from Zack back to the office room, " Please lady, D-don't shoot me- I-I beg ya!"
Zack stood up bruised but not severely hurt, and walk next to Callie, " Give me ONE good reason for Cal not to blow your miserable brains all over the bloody floor!" Zack shouted. His accent was heavier now then when he talked before.
Benny back all the way until he hit an adjacent wall, and rolled into fetal position while covering his head while crying, "I don't want to die I don't want to die-"
" Freeze!"
Benny screamed hi pitch, pointed towards the source of the voice, and started to tremble with fear, "Ahh! I-It's the Swat Kats! And the ugly Enforcer!!" Katie or the Ugly Enforcer Benny named her, made a death stare at him and growled in a very intimidating way, " Ya better swallow those words back down ya mouth or I'll stuff them down with my fist!"
" Aww go ta Hel-"
"Shut ya trap!" T-Bone shouted. Him and Razor both aimed their Gloveatrix at Benny, Zack and Callie. Razor shouted towards Callie, "And you! I can't believe you was about to wipe out this loser so you and Zack would get more of the money!"
Callie and Zack look at each other, "Huh?"
" Don't act stupid Briggs. You was about the do the same thing you almost did with that other guy."
Callie looked around and found Lenny who collapsed spread out onto the floor with blood slowly seeping out of his leg that he tied up by ripping out his long sleeve shirt and tying it, then she looked at the gun that she was holding in her hand, " HUH! N-No it's not what you think guys!" She made an apologetic smile and toss the gun away from her, " Me and-"
Zack tried to explain along with Callie, " And her-"
" That idiot tied us up in a chair-"
" I was about to die until- Wait! Tiny could tell you he seen everything!" Zack franticly looked around for tiny but he was nowhere to be found until he can hear Tiny's pain filled moan from behind one of the desk, " Tiny! What's wrong chap," Zack started to laugh out of frustration and shouted, " Me and Cal are at gun point and we really need your HELP!"
" He's lying about the whole thing I bet." T-Bone muttered.
" Are you calling me a liar." Zack asked with intimidation.
" If the shoe fits."
" Don't you have something better to do T-Bozo-aw whatever the hell's your name is." Zack hissed. He pointed out the window and ordered, " Go jump out the window, see if you can fly, since you're a 'super hero'."
" I'll throw you to see if gravity working right." T-Bone growled.
A middle aged cat (the same middle aged cat with colorblindness) with a mop bucket knocked on the door lightly and asked, " I didn't know you had an after office hour in here Miss. Briggs?" The middle-aged cats sighed out of exhaustion and wipe the little beads of sweat from his forehead, " Ya guys should'a of called me before ya had the party I wouldn't come to this room. Hey-wait a minute there goes that same girl I saw on the street...what were we talkin' about before?"
As the middle-aged man was pondering on where he met Katie, Benny, who was sitting against the wall, stared at the man, looked at the handgun and stare back at the middle aged man. Finally the light bulb dimly flashed. Quickly he crawled over, grabbed the gun and ran towards the man, grabbed him and put the other end of the gun pressed on his cranium,
" Uhh- Look at dis everybody!"
The whole group turned their heads and saw Benny, who look like he's at the point of insanity, made a tooth to tooth smile while trying to press the gun further into the middle aged man's head, " I got a hostage!"
" We all see that Benny." Zack said.
" Shut ya pie hole! Now all of yous are goin' ta let me go 'cause one, I'm crazy, b, I want ta get away from ya losers with da money, and ten, 'Cause I can shoot this guy in the head! But it doesn't matter anyway 'cause all of ya are gonna be dead in one minute, that stuff that I put into Tiny is gonna work soon."
Zack scratched his head, " Exactly what did you put into Tiny?"
Tiny started to growl not out of pain almost like some kind of animal. Lenny sat up and had a very sick look on his face, " Oh no, Benny ya didn't use that stuff right?"
Benny's laughter sounded like it was almost to the point of insanity, " I use this stuff that my father hid away from me when he raided this ship a couple of years ago and blew up. Some kind a chemical crap that had the words steroids, extremely dangerous, and uncontainable." After Benny said those words Lenny started to make a mad crawl behind one of the desk, " This isn't happeing! This isn't happening! This isn't happening!"
"He's gonna turn into one big scary monster right?" Katie asked. She yawned and it seamed like she experience a couple of monsters in her time, " We just do what we always do around here..."
" What's that?" Zack said.
" Blow it up. It always works."
" That's not going to work!" Lenny yelled from behind the desk far away from a morphing Tiny, " That thing is like a homing device with razor sharp claws! Once it looks at you it's going to hunt you down 'till it shred you to ribbons."
On other side of the office one of the desks was picked up, and thrown out of a window. Benny who was somewhat scared at the power of what he created, pushed the middle aged cat into the room and ran towards the staircase. A large roar could be heard and everybody hid behind one of the desk or something that could hide themselves from the monster.
Hiding with Zack, Callie was pretty angry thinking on how her whole night felt like it was going straight to the ultimate pit of despair, "Alright I want to know who's idea it is that made up that drug!"
" It was actually made in my wonderful hometown Katland," Zack said sarcastically, " They banned it all over the country and over here. It's so dangerous nobody even want to buy it in the Black market. But it's a good thing it doesn't make the cat who eats it explode-"
" Oh no! I forgot," Callie, gasped, She looked at T-Bone and Razor who was across from them also hiding behind one of the desk, " I forgot to tell you Benny made a couple of bombs,"
" How many?" Razor asked.
" About seven of them and a hour passed a long time ago so it's going to go off in a half an hour."
" Where?"
Zack pointed towards the other side of the office.
" This is my lucky day." Razor said with sarcasm. Katie who was behind a large trashcan thought, I don't want Razor to get hurt.. She started to crawl over to where the bombs were place, she whispered, " Don't worry Razor I'll get 'em for you."
" What the heck are ya doing Katiez?!" T-Bone whispered to her.
" I'm going to were the guy pointed to so I can get the bombs."
" Missy are ya nuts," The middle-aged cat whispered hoarsely hiding behind a desk with Lenny, " That guy said I'll cut you into shreds-gees- just like my niece, stubborn."
" But I'm the better cat around here, I'm light, I'm fast on my foot and-"
" Katie do you even have bomb experience?" Razor asked.
She didn't answer Razor's question but she was determined to not let Razor go, " Y-yeah-kind of- I'm goin' Razor and you can't-" And the argument between the two would of continued until they heard a young girl's voice calling out " Callie? Callie! Where are you?"
" That's Sally!" Callie cried. T-Bone eyed her and thought, " What she's doing here? Oh no!"
The group could hear the vibrations the monster that Tiny turned into running out of the office room and into the hallways. The middle aged cat raised out of his hiding spot and shouted, " Where did that thing- or whatever- went to!? Who's voice is that?!"
" That's my sister!" Callie cried, " And it's after her!"
" Hello?" Sally called out unsure and somewhat frightened. She has a little knowledge about the layout of the building because she rarely comes to Callie's job because the last time she was here she was lost for the whole day so she vowed that she'll never come back without Callie showing her the way. However, she didn't know how scary it was going to be when it's the after hours. How the hallways were overshadowed, the noise from her shoe echoes thought the building every time she took a step, and the only light source was coming from the city lights from outside, but it didn't illuminated the hallways as she wanted it.
" Why did I run in here?" She whispered aloud while sneaking down the hall. She knew Callie and that other guy, she believed named Zack, ran off to this building for something. She could feel her heart beating fast in her chest that she thought it was going to burst out of her and run off. Sally was slowing down her pace until she made a abrupt halt, wrapped her arms around herself, and cried, "I'm afraid of the dark...It's too scary... I-I." She wanted to continue walking but her legs felt like dried cement.
" I can't go anymore..." Sally sobbed.
Salty water started to drop down from Sally's eyes, she dried them away with her sleeve, and sobbed, "I'm afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of nighttime in the city. I'm afraid of water, snakes, bugs, and blood." She sniffed her nose and thought aloud, " Look at your self Sally you're a scary cat you're afraid of everything how could you help Callie if you can't even move? You can't do anything without getting scared to death I'm useless! How could I save my sister if I can't even watch a scary movie with monsters."
All of a sudden, Sally heard a faint growl. A scary, hungry growl. Sally froze in fear and beads of sweat started to form on her forehead, " W-what was that? Please...please don't make it be one of the things I'm highly afraid of." She wanted to scream as loud as she could but her throat was dry with fear.
Closer and closer, the growling creature came to her. Sally shut her eyes tight, " Please just let it go away. Please." Despite Sally's wishes, the thing that was growling was walking closer and closer to her. She knew that whatever that was growling like that isn't a cat, and it's a high probability that thing is possibly stronger and bigger.
Sally slowly backed away from the monster, and the monster moved closer. She did it again and the monster moved closer. She went so far back that she hit an adjacent wall and the monster was growing nearer. Sally opened her eyes to see across from her was a large shadowed creature with long dark orange hair and scary glowing red eyes. She looked around franticly to see if there were any doors around her to escape too, however there wasn't any. Shaking with fear, she gulped and yelled, " Please someone help me? Anybody?"
The monster made a very angry growl and was about to pounce onto Sally until she heard T-Bone's voice shout out, " Sally lay low!" Sally did what she was told and lowered herself as close as she can to the floor and covered her head with her hands. Quickly T-Bone fired a mini missile at the monster and it was a direct target while the monster was in the air, it lost its balance and started flying towards the window and smash through it. The monster made a large howl while falling towards the city streets.
Sally uncovered her head and looked around, there were dust partials coming from the busted wall and white smoke. She was never so happy to see a wall with a big hole in it.
Callie searched around the area looking for any first aid kit; luckily, she found one underneath one of the desks that was in the room. Immediately she went to Lenny to give him some needed care on his leg.
" I hope Zack and T-Bone finds Sally soon," Callie said to Lenny, he didn't give a response, " I don't know what I'll do if she's-"
Lenny coughed a couple of times and gave her a half smile, " Don't worry 'bout it Briggs."
Callie gasped, " You was up the whole time?"
" Yeah I was." Lenny answered, " I've been shot at so many time's I get use to the pain after awhile, so you don't have to worry 'bout me." The injured cat said. He sat up and looked up at her and said in a encouraging way, "Anyway, I knew Zack since he was a 'lil kitten. He'll find her, especially when he has that Swat Kat with him. They'll do fine. "
" I hope T-Bone isn't in trouble." Razor said. While staring at the bag with worry, he looked up at Katie who was on the other side of the bag impatiently waiting for Razor to open it, " Open it so we can cut the wires." She said in a hasty nervous way.
" We should be careful at opening the bag," Razor said, " We don't know if that guy trigger the bombs to blow when we-HEY! What are you doing?!"
Katie grabbed the black bag roughly and quickly zipped it open without thinking on what the danger of opening the bag may bring, " There. Now do we cut the wires?"
" You know what could of happen?!" Razor shouted, " Pieces of us would of flown everywhere."
" Ok Razor it didn't happen so can we cut the wires now?" Katie complained.
The middle age cat shook his head, " Just like my niece...just like my niece."
Katie was getting annoyed, " Who is your niece anyway?"
Razor peeked into the bag and said, " Since this is your above average mobster he probably made normal bombs. And since you never really had bomb experience-"
" I went through bomb training!" Katie shouted defensively. Her sentence started to trail off as she continued, "I just didn't do as 'good' as the others that's all."
Razor looked at her unbelievingly, " Uh huh. Anyway, all we have to do is cut the red wire and the bomb is offline." He did found seven plastic explosives that were in the bag, all of them were blinking red lights. They look like normal bombs except-
" Crud! He used purple and pink wires!" Razor said with frustration, " Who in their right mind would use that!?"
Katie tightened her fist and growled, " That stupid psycho sonofa-"
" Then what are you twos going to do?" The middle-aged cat said worryingly interrupting Katie. He glanced at her and scold, " And you missy, you don't need to use language like that your gonna have a sailor's mouth like my niece."
Katie rolled her eyes, " Yeah whatever." She glanced over at Razor who was thoroughly studying the two colored wires in his hand.
" Why would anyone use purple and pink wires? Either this guy is a complete moron, doesn't know what he's doing, or he's colorblind."
Katie gasped, ran towards the Middle aged cat, grabbed him, dragged him over to Razor, and ordered, "Mister look at those wires and tell me what you see."
The Middle aged cat look at the two wires while scratching his raggedy hair, " Umm...I see that one of 'em wirers look blue and that other one looks like a red."
Razor looked at the Middle Age Cat and Katie and grinned, " Katiez, I think you solve the problem to our dilemma!"
" Great." Katie took the pair of clippers away from Razor and said happily, " Now we can cut the wires." Without realizing the damage she would cause she clipped the pink wire. Razor quickly snatched the clippers away from her,
" What have you done!? We could of-Hey!" He noticed that there wasn't a loud boom or fire around the building. He cheered, " Bingo! We didn't explode! It worked!"
" Alright!" Katie cheered. She wipe some bead of sweat from her forehead, " Razor did you do this stuff before? You must be an bomb expert unless if you had training or something?"
" Aww. It's nothing Katie. It's just something I know." Razor gazed at the orange haired enforcer and smiled, " Hey, you wasn't bad...for my first student."
" Really?"
" Yeah, if you wasn't hear who know what would of happen."
Katie smiled with relief and gazed into Razor's eyes, " To tell you the truth Razor...I-I didn't really get a high grade on bomb squad but in the academy and-"
" That's ok," Razor chuckled, " I almost flunked the course." As Razor continued to laugh, Katie stayed quiet for a while until she asked with skepticism, " Your tellin' me that you was in the Enforcer Academy for the basic bomb squad course?"
Razor stopped and realized he was halfway revealing his secret identity. He thought of anything to tell her and immediately he said, " N-NO! I was...uhh...reading about bombs when-uhh I was in...umm NEW JERSEY while sitting in a course about making bombs! Yeah! That's right New Jersey. NO where NEAR Mega Kat City....hehe...yeah...New Jersey."
Katie stared at Razor a couple of minutes, " Uhh...Ok Razor-"
" Excuse me kids," The Middle Aged Cat interrupted, " I'm almost at my retirement year and I'll like to reach it you two."
Razor and Katie looked into the bag together looking for some more bombs. " Sure, it's going to be easy as pie now. " Katie said.
" Since we figure out which is red and which is-oh no!" Razor pulled out another bomb, this time it had orange and aqua colored wires.
" T-Bone!" Sally smiled almost near tears. She jumped up from off the floor, opened her arms, and gave the large tabby the tightest hug she could give around his shoulders and she shouted happily,
" Oh! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!"
" Don't mention it." T-Bone smiled. He put Sally down on the floor and his attitude changed, " Kid, why didn't you stay at headquarters with the others?"
" I did stay with Miss. Feral," Sally cried, " Then this man name Mr. Steele started to make me scared asking all these questions. Then I was talking to this nice lady named Ms. Clawson and while we was in our conversation I realized that Callie was-"
" Are you alight Sal?"
Sally eyes then full with fear. She went behind T-Bone and pointed at him, " It's the guy who pulled on my hair! It really hurt!"
" Geez I'm so sorry," Zack said mockingly, " That was like, a long time ago. Anyway, I came here incase fat cat got stuck somewhere and needed my help saving you."
" You're pushing it Wiskerson." T-Bone growled.
" Yeah yeah. So where's the bloody monster at?"
T-Bone pointed towards the broken window, " Are you that stupid that you cant tell that the monster went through the window?"
" ...Shut up."
" You shut up."
" You!"
" You!"
" YOU!"
" YOU!"
Sallie went between the two who look like who was getting ready to fight and pleaded, " Please guys cant you two just get along?"
" NO!" the two shouted.
" Then can I see my sister now?"
"YES!" T-Bone and Zack shouted. They both pointed towards the room where Callie was and shouted, " She's in there."
Sally ran towards the door and called out, " Callie! Are you in here?" Callie looked around and found the gray shekat looking around helplessly in the room, " Sally!
" Callie!" Sally shouted with glee. She ran towards Callie and literally jumped on top of her, embracing her tightly almost to the point of cutting off her circulation. Sally inhaled and with one big breath she said, "IthoughtyouwasabadcabutthenwhenIwasatenforcerheadquartersIfinallyfigureditoutandyouwasjustactingoutandI'msogladthatIfoundyouIamreallyreally happythatIfoundyouandIthoughtIwasgoingtogeteatenbythisbigscarymonstebutT-BonesavemeandthatgrayKatlandcatandT-BonetoldmewhereyouwasandthenI foundyou!"
Callie giggled and hug her sister back, " Sally I don't understand a word you said but I'm so glad that you're safe and sound."
The middle age cat wiped a coming tear with his sleeve and sobbed, " This is so sweet," The cat look at Katie who looked disgusted and asked, " don't ya think so missy?"
Katie rolled her eyes, " Eww, now you remind me of my uncle, he always like those sappy movies-"
" Now you really remind me of my nice." The Middle aged cat continued to sob.
" Bingo!" Razor cheered to himself, " That was the last bomb in bag."
In the hallway, Zack was looking out of the window where the monster smashed through. He shook his head and made a low whistle, " I feel sorry for the cat who owns the car down there, hope their insurance covers monster damage."
" How could you be worried about somebody else's car?" T-Bone asked with frustration, " That cat just left with all of the treasury money."
Zack turned around and growled with frustration, " Don't you think I'm not worried about that too?"
" Worried about what?! He has your money he's practically doing what you wanted to anyway."
" Listen fatso," Zack yelled, " If I had the money I would of do something different with it and...I..." Zack trailed off on his sentence and suddenly his eyes were wide open. He grabbed onto T-Bone's collar and the gray cat's eyes look like he had a wild thought full of madness, " T-Bone! How long does it take to go to the airport from here!?"
" International or National?"
Zack shook his collar violently, " Anyone!"
" It's only an hour, depending on traffic or if theirs a checkpoint. Now let go of me who knows where you been!"
Zack pushed him away and he jetted towards the stairway, " Listen, I can't explain because I'll take me hours! However, if you want to arrest me or beat the crap out of me then come and follow me. FATTY!" He then slam the door close.
" Crud! He's not goin' to get away that easy." T-Bone growled with anger. Quickly he ran in the office where Razor was and picked him up like a suitcase.
" H-HEY T-BONE! What the heck are ya doing!?" Razor said.
" That katland cat decided to jet outta here! Were goin' after him!"
Katie walked behind T-Bone shouting, " Hey I'm goin' too!"
" No your not Katiez." Razor told Katie, " Make sure the Briggs and others get to headquarters safe and sound. Alright."
" Aww man." Katie kicked the ground and she mumbled, " Sure Razor."
At the Mega Kat City Docks, it been considered a dangerous place during the daytime, but the nights are horrendous. It is dark and desolate place where good-natured cats don't go around because of the shady cats around the area. In the damp darkness, a black car rolled up and stop to a halt. Without cutting off the car, the driver flew open the driver side door and Benny jumped out, " The odds of finding a black car out in the city for me to steal." He took the disk out of his pocket, tossed it up in the air and caught it. " It's a lucky night for ya Benny Martinez." He said. The cat kissed the disk and smiled triumphantly. He then started to walk towards a medium size yacht that had the name " S.S. Ginger." He jump off the pier and into the boat and said, " I got the luck, the money, and the transportation to go anywhere in the world without da enforcer looking for me, the Swat Kats can't touch me, and the stupid Wiskerson is out of my life forever!"
" I don't think it's going to be that easy Martinez."
Benny franticly looked around yelling, " Who! Who's that!?!?"
" Who do you think you ignorant fool?" Zack jumped out of nowhere and smiled, " Surprise! It's me."
" Damn it Wiskerson," Benny furiously shouted, "Why wont you leave me alone! You're the boss of my father's business and you have more money then anybody! What more do you want!?"
" Nothing really." He answered. He cracked his knuckles in the palm of his hands. Slowly he walked towards Benny who was also ready to fight, " Just beating the living daylights out of you is all I want." Then Zack sprinted towards Benny until he pulled out a handgun from hinding and shouted, " Let's see if you'll try and beat dis!" Benny pulled the trigger and a loud gun blast came out of it. Benny pictured Zack falling on the floor dead but the katland cat somehow dodged the bullet just in time and tackled Benny onto the ground. The gun fell out of Benny's hand and the force of the tackle also made the disk fly out of Benny's pocket and stop at the very edge of the boat. Dancing towards the edge of it's destruction.
" The disk!" Zack and Benny shouted wide eyed. They both glanced at the gun and shouted simultaneously, " The gun!" Benny started to scramble towards the gun but Zack was wrestling with the cat trying to get ahead to get the two items before the other cat did and he almost reached it until Benny grabbed onto his face and pulled himself in front of him. He made it to the disk and gun instead.
" Look who made it now Wiskerson." Benny taunted. He aimed the handgun at Zack who backed away from him so Benny wouldn't be too alarmed,
" Great I let a ignorant fool beat me." Zack said disappointedly.
" Shut up!" Benny roared, " I've been waiting for this day for so long, I have dreams at night just thinking about it. And now I'm the one with all the power and you're the one goin' to be dead in a few seconds."
" Congratulations Benny." Zack said in fuming sarcastic tone, " I guess poisoning your father, changing Tiny into a monster and attempted murder on an undercover enforcer really put you in the lead. I know and you know that you possibly cannot get away from it-"
Benny loaded the gun and pointed it towards Zack's head, " But I did and I am Zack. Kiss your tail goodbye."
Zack wished for any miracle that could stop Benny pulling the trigger and he started to think that it wouldn't come true. Benny was somehow thrilled at Zack being scared out of his mind, which caused him to laugh wickedly but all that stopped, when Zack started smiling.
" What the hell are ya smiling 'bout?" Benny demanded.
" I'm smiling about what's about to happen to you," Zack answered. He looked up at the night sky and on the top of the flat roof on the boat was T-Bone and Razor looking over and ready to pounce onto Benny. The gray cat continued, " You'll see why I'm smiling. ...Right about...Now." A hard heavy blow was felt on Benny's face, which caused him to fall hard. The impact was so strong that the gun slid out of his hand and fell into the water. Zack jumped up and brushed himself off, " What took you two so long? I could of lost one of my lives. You guys are not very dependable cats you know." T-Bone clenched his fist and grumbled in annoyance, " What ever happen to, ' Thank you for saving my life.' and ' I'm happy that you came.'? I didn't have to follow you all the way over here ya know." Razor was the last to safely leap off the roof. " Please guys can we just-"
" NO!" T-Bone and Zack shouted.
Razor bent his eyebrows and spat, " What the!? You guys didn't even know what I was going to-"
" WE KNOW!" The two shouted again.
" Hey supercat, can you please stop saying the same thing I'm going to say?" Zack demanded. He then continued along like he sounded like he was going to be sick, " Not only it annoying but sharing the same words is starting to make me think I'm related to you. Which I hope that it isn't true."
" Listen Katland boy." T-Bone emphasized, " YOU better stop saying the same thing I'm sayin' or I'll-"
" What?" Zack hissed angrily, " Punch me in the face? C'mon, try it, I dare you."
As the two cats continue bickering and Razor trying to keep the peace, Benny opened his eyes and his blood started to boil. He knew that he was going to end up in prison eventually and he'll lose all the money, but what made him angrier than anything was that his boss was going to win. Slowly Benny pulled out a small Swiss knife from his jacket and position himself to attack him, who was focusing all his attention to the large Swat Kat. Then with one inhale he screamed, " Prepare to die Zack!" And he started charging towards him with full force. T-Bone and Razor acted quickly, T-Bone pushed Zack away from Benny's path, and Razor reached into his pocket, popped the cork off the test tube and splashed the contents all over Benny's face. The strong fowl stench of the brown icky sludge cause Benny to stop in his tracks and screamed.
" Ahhh!!! What the heck did ya put all over my face it stinks!?" Benny shouted wildly. He tried to wipe the sludge off his face but his fur was entangled with the sticky slime. Making a wild scream, he ran off the boat and continued to scream until out of nowhere he saw the sand colored fist coming at him right between the eyes and all he saw last was just blackness.
" I didn't know this stuff would be this powerful." Razor said with awe when he jumped of the boat along with T-Bone and found Katie cracking her knuckles standing over a knocked out Benny, " Hi guys." She greeted, " The party's over already?"
" What are you doing here Katiez!?" T-Bone growled, " Aren't you suppose to be with the others?"
" I was." She said, " After that I grabbed another enforcer vehicle and drove over here. Incase you guys needed me help" Katie smelled a fowl stench close by, she sniffed her nose and cried, " What the heck is that smell!? Is it coming from him?"
" Yeah." Razor point out. He looked at the empty test tube and he made a smile " I think it's our new weapon. Hey T-Bone did anyone seen Zack?"
T-Bone thought for a moment and answered, " No. Not until I pushed him away from-"
" Excuse me!" Zack shouted out. He was soak and wet all over his body, which was a funny sight. " Why did you push me over the railing you idiot Don't you know your own strength!?"
T-Bone rolled his eyes, " This guy I tell ya, he doesn't even know how to say, 'Thank you for saving my life.'" Zack ignored T-Bone and walked over to Benny. He whistled, " Wow. I knew he always had a distinguish kind of stench on him but I didn't know he smelled this bad. At least he's going to jail anyway so he wont bother me no more."
T-Bone, Razor and Katie looked at Zack all with their faces twisted with confusion, " What the heck are ya talking about?" Katie questioned him, " You're the boss of the whole Martinez group your going to jail too."
Zack started to laugh so hard that T-Bone growled, " What's so funny Wiskerson?"
" You are right about me being the boss of the whole Martinez group and me going to jail," Zack explained, " but none of you guys don't really know who I really am.," He went into his pocket and pulled out a black wallet and opened it in front of them. Katie and Razor was surprised but not more as surprised as T-bone,
" For you see," Zack smiled halfway and continued, " I'm part of the Katland Enforcers Undercover Division."
" You!" T-Bone emphasized, " You are a undercover agent?!"
" Do I really have to repeat myself to you?" Zack sneered. T-Bone was about to say something back at Zack until Katie interrupted, " Hold it. If you are an undercover agent then how did you end up the boss? Why didn't Feral tell me this before!?"
" I'll explain later, " Zack answered, " But how about we take this loser to enforcer headquarters shall we say, now?"
After the Swat Kats, Katie and Zack took Benny to Headquarters Zack started to tell the whole story about his undercover work which took about an hour to finish. But to sum it up in two of more sentences Zack and his partner Lenny was an undercover enforcer working for Benny's father. He did a good job, or as Lenny called it, a too good job into tricking Benny's father into thinking he was a legit mob cat. When Benny's father was dying, he asked Zack to be the new boss because he found out Benny poisoned him. And...Well. You guys know what happened from there. A few days latter Katie did ask Feral why he didn't tell her Zack was on their side. His answer was,
" You never asked." He answered casually while finishing some paper work that was neatly placed in a very efficient way.
" WHAT!? You knew about it all along!?" Katie exclaimed, " How long was this was happening!?"
" For two years. Lenny Tailsson, he was an undercover veteran in Katland years ago until he transferred over to Mega Kat City so he could aid Wiskerson, since he's not accustom in undercover work. Lenny also gave us information about the Martines when he consulted with one of our operatives. He is also responsible for capturing Mac and Molly Mange on information he gave us. I didn't tell you anything about Wiskerson or Tailsson because I didn't want a leak coming out." Feral went back into his paper work, " Is that all Private Katiez?"
" No."
" Then what is it then?" He said somewhat in a hasty way.
" I just wanted to know just how many cats are undercover in this city alone sir."
Feral moved his eyes away from the papers and looked at Katie" That's on a need to know basis Katiez, you know that."
" Alright sir." She was about to walk out of Feral's office until he stopped writing on the papers and called out, " Katiez. There's something I need to discuss with you."
Katie turned around, " Yeah sir what'cha want?"
" I just wanted to tell you that Lieutenant Steele made a report on how you left with those vigilantes days ago."
Katie stood in the middle of the office looking at Feral very upset, " Your going to punish me 'cause I was with the Swat Kats!? Just because you don't like 'em-"
" Before you start screaming I also have an report from Felina, Wiskerson and Tailsson the next day after Steele send over his report.." Feral interrupted. " I was about to follow Steele's recommendation, but you also capture Martienez with Wiskerson and from the report I read you diffused a couple of bombs at City Hall, sum it up you did somewhat alright."
" Alright!" Katie cheered. She started jumping up and down until she paused and questioned Feral with a suspicious tone, " So what's the deal?"
" I'll ignore Steele's request for now." Feral said. He went back to his papers. Katie made a tooth to tooth smile and jogged towards the door, " Well Feral 'cya latter, I'm off to patrol the-"
" There's one last thing I want to add, " Feral pointed out, " The next time you decided to run off with those vigilantes I won't be so lenient on you." Katie was about to speak her mind but the commander raised his hand and spoke, " Don't start to quarrel with me I do not have the time to do so. You're dismissed."
Katie closed Commander Feral's office door." Phew, that was close. Must be a good day for him or something." She sighed. As she was walking towards the elevator doors she began to smile as she thought about the time she spent with the Swat Kats. Especially with a certain cat named-
" Oh Katie!" Steele called out interrupting Katie's train of thought. The orange haired private mumbled, " What does he want now."
" I heard Feral calling you to his office." Steele smiled as if he won the lottery, " You been demoted to janitor huh?"
" Not today or tomorrow lieutenant." Katie grinned, " 'Cause I'm that good to get demoted!" She turned her back, started to walk away from the lieutenant, and called for the elevator, "Oh, and Steele."
" What?" He growled.
" Have anything to say before I mentally block ya out for today?"
" I got something to say...you wanna go out?"
" You wanna get punched in the face?"
Steele blanked," ...No."
" Same answer." She said to him as she walked into the elevator. As the doors closed shut and when Katie noticed she was the only one on the elevator she started to smile again as she began to think again about the time she spent with the Swat Kats. Especially about a certain cat she doesn't want to admit to herself she's really fond of.
In the middle of Sylvie Street construction workers were busy at work filling in the potholes on the street. In the middle of that street was Callie's green sedan being hooked up to Chance and Jake's towtruck.
" I'm glad all that stuff is over. " Chance said while hooking up the hook to the front of the bumper. Jake, who was on the other side of the crane, helped Chance also, " I can't imagine that I thought Callie was bad. I mean, what was I thinking?"
" You was just preparing for the worst." Chance answered. They finished hooking Callie's car to the crane and the large tabby brushed his hands off, " But I think you went to far with that buddy, not all cats are going to turn on your back. But I'm glad about one thing that happened out of all of this."
" What?"
" That stupid katland cat Wiskerson gone back home!" Chance emphasized. He leaned onto the tow truck, cross his arms and smiled triumphantly, " I never have to see his ugly face again for a very long time."
" What's wrong big guy?" Jake said playfully, " Can't take the competition?" Chance turned his eyes towards the small mechanic and mischievous smile, " Your talking about me? What about you."
" What about me?"
Chance moved from the truck and cuffed his hands together fluttering his eyes like a love sick cat and then to the best of his ability he imitated Jake's voice, " Oh, I never, ever, ever, ever want to see Katie get hurt. I wouldn't let Callie or Feral or a big old monster or anybody ever physically or mentally hurt her as long as I live and even when I'm dead." After that Chance laughed so hard that he almost fell on his tail. Jake folded his arms and pointed his nose up in the air, " Your exaggerating, I didn't say it like that."
" Yeah ya did." Chance argued, " What was wrong with you? You drank rotten milk? You accidentally sniffed some of the jet paint?" He paused and Jake who was looking at the endless yellowish green sky. Chance waited for a response until he gasped. Jake backed away from him and asked worriedly, " C-Chance? W-what's wrong?"
" I know what it is." He said while making a playful smile. He stepped over to Jake, put him in a headlock and started to rub his head with his cap still on his head, " My little buddy finally has that little fuzzy feeling inside."
Jake face reddened and he tried to breath for some air, " Ack-What?!"
Chance started his fake crying and he sobbed," It is true! They always grow up so fast."
" N-negative Chance!" Jake said still with a red face, " I-I do-NOT like her! I mean I like her a lot but I don't-uhh-like her like her that way I mean...umm...she, I mean, I just like her as a-a-a. "
" Girlfriend.": Chance answered.
" NO!" Jake screamed in his I'm-not-going-to-tell-you way.
All the construction workers stopped working and stared at Jake who was extremely embarrassed. Everyone was quiet until Chance yelled, " What are you guys lookin' at!?"
The construction workers shrugged their shoulders and went back to work.
Chance let go of him and patted him on the shoulder," Ok Jake I wont bother you. I don't know why you like Katie for; I can understand Felina Feral, but KATIE? I mean she's skinny, she short, she always screaming and she acts...wait...IS a tomboy. Maybe you have a thing for red heads."
" Negative Chance." Jake corrected. His eyes then began to show that drowsy dreamy look that he only shows when he get's a new peice of hardware. He cuffed his hands togeather and looked up at the sky and spoke like he was reciting a poem, " Her hair is of an orangey color that looks like the sunset on a summer day at the beach,"
Chance just stood there, " Uhh....Jake are you ok?"
" Her eyes are true blue like tropical waters."
Chance carefully tapped on Jake's shoulder and wispered, " Hey buddy are you alright?"
" Her smile is...uhh...really pretty."
" JAKE!"
Jake jumped, he finaly broke out of that hypnotic state, " Huh?"
" You was rambeling on about how Katie look, either your stalking her or you really like her."
" I dont like her okay Chace." Jake finalised. Jake just shook his head and said, " Whatever you say. But let me teach you a few trick on how to pick up the ladies. I bet when she's with you in a couple of hours she'll be putty in your hands. Well...if she is a girl. "
" You mean how to make them ignore your presence?"
" Funny Jake. Real funny."
Chance and Jake then saw Callie walking down the sidewalk waving and giving a bright smile at the two mechanics, " Hi guys." Callie called out, " Hope I didn't make you guys wait too long for me."
" No Miss. Briggs." Chance and Jake answered simultaneously.
" That's wonderful." The blonde-haired feline cheered. She glanced at the car and noticed that her blown out front left tire was replaced with a brand new one.
" You guys change the tire?" Callie said surprisingly, " Wow! you guys must be the best mechanics in the city."
Jake blushed, " Aww. It nothing new or anything, but we need to take it to the garage so we can replaced the battery." Callie leaned onto the her car door and thought aloud, " Ever since the Swat Kat's rescued me everything's been going great."
" Like what?" Chance asked.
" Well, the guy who turned into that monster actually survived, since the car broke his fall. Now he's in the Mega Kat City Biochemical Lab and he's getting treatment. In no time he'll be back to normal. And Benny's finally in jail for life, where he belongs."
" How about your sister Sally?" Chance asked.
Callie looked at him and paused, " How did you know I have a sister name Sally?"
Jake secretly jabbed Chance on his side then cleared his throat, " Ha ha. Why, Chance wanted to know is...is..."
" I saw her!" The large tabby shouted out. Callie still stared at the two perplexed, " I saw her on the news the other night and I wanted to know how she was doing."
Callie blanked a couple of times, " Oh. Well she's doing fine. She was a little afraid of going out in the street because she feared some guy was going to abduct her again, but with much persuasion and dragging her out of her room I made her go out the street." Callie waved her hand and continued, " She's way over that fear now. She's really popular in her school since that night, but the only problem is that her friend always wants to hear what happen to her fifty thousand times. Sally's friend is, well, how can I say this, she's a really big fan of T-Bone."
There was a moment of silence until she remembered, " Oh I forgot about one thing."
" What?" The two mechanics said at the same time.
" Zack." Callie said vaguely.
Chance placed his hands in his pockets and rolled his eyes," What's about him."
" He went back to Katland."
" He did? When?" Jake asked. He looked at Chance and by the looks of his smile he was going to jump for joy at any moment.
" During the morning." She said with a hint of sadness.
" REALLY!" Chance exclaimed with total happiness, " For how long!"
" He doesn't know yet." She answered, " He said it could be days."
" Maybe weeks." Chance smiled.
She nodded her head, " Could be months."
" Probably years!" Chance said with wide eyes.
Callie sighed and with a finalized tone she thought aloud, " But he has to go back home. It's been two years he was away from his home county. He's probably homesick. But he wouldn't never get to go back home if it wasn't for the Swat Kats."
" Ain't it the truth." Chance mumbled.
"Sometimes I sit at my desk and wonder who those guys are."
" I do." Jake added. He glanced at Chance who was trying to contain his laughter, " I always think about who they really are."
" It could be anybody," Callie said, " And the ironic thing is I probably even talked to them on the street."
" Wouldn't that be ironic." Chance smiled.
" Anyway, since you guys are going to the shop that's about where I'm going. I would of called the chauffer but he's busy with Mayor Manx, so can I hitch a ride with you?"
Before Jake can answer her question, in a blink of an eye Chance was escorting Callie into the truck, " I'll be very happy to Miss. Briggs." He smiled. Callie was about to enter inside the car until a ruby red hoodless car started rolling down the street honking it's horn it halted on the right side of the Towtruck.
" Hi Callie." Zack shouted, " Miss me?"
" Zack!" Callie shouted with glee, " What the heck are you doing here?!"
" What the heck are you doing here Zack!?" Chance emphasized.
" What about your flight?" Jake asked.
Zack jumped out of the car and said, " You would not believe what happened, I was just about to board the plain with Lenny until the announcement was made; there was a malfunction with the plane. So it's under repair until midnight."
" That's really wonderful." Chance said with sarcasm.
" So Cal where you're headed?" Zack asked while gazing at her. Callie smiled, " I was just about to hitch a ride to the other side of town."
" Inside that?" Zack said with disgust while pointing at the old dusty towtruck, " C'mon Cal I'll drive you over. It's no problem at all. I'll even treat you to lunch and possibly dinner?" He looked over at Chance and grinned, " You wouldn't want to bother the mechanics with their job." He looked at Jake and Chance and for some strange reason it felt like he saw them before. But he dismissed this feeling and continued, " So you're coming?"
" Sure!" Callie answered. She jogged over to Zack's car and the Katland cat open the door for her. Finally he jumped into the driver's seat and start up the car, roaring its engine,
" Bye guys!" Callie waved. And as the car screeched down the street the blond feline shouted, " Thanks for offering the ride!" Chance and Jake stood there feeling like they lost the battle.
" Chance?" Jake called.
" Yeah Jake."
Jake scratched his head underneath his red hat, " What just happened?"
Chance sighed, " I don't know...all I know is I want to beat the crap out of that guy."
Jake looked up at Chance and said, " I think Zack just won the battle."
" Yeah." Chance frowned, " He won for today." He climbed into the truck and started the engine up and yelled, " But the war isn't over."
" That's the Chance I know." Jake cheered. He jumped into the truck and gave the large tabby a high five. " He think he's going to win, but he gotta get through me first." Change growled.
And as the tow truck speeded down the bumpy, street it entered into the mass city traffic. In this metropolis, it has been considered normal to have these problems since it's usual to have unusual trials and tribulations. However, as long as the city is in trouble they can always count on two cats named T-Bone and Razor who will surely save the day in this vast crazy city named Mega Kat City.

Since the warehouse district wasn't that far from City Hall, it only took Zack, Callie, Benny, Lenny and Tiny, thirty-five minutes to get there. It was just like Zack said when he was explaining the plan, it wasn't that hard to get inside the back doors then through the front and it wasn't that hard to take the elevator on the second floor. Once they reach the thirtieth floor, Callie put it the pin code and they entered the financial office. " Wow. That was easy." Callie said surprisingly. Zack pulled out the black disk and smiled, " And it's all going to be really easy once you put in the code for the computer." Callie walked over to the computer and type in the ten number pin code. Zack put the disk inside, did some typing, and it was done. He put the disk filled with the treasury money inside his pants pocket and said, " That's it. Now let's get out of here."
" Not so fast Zack." Benny, Lenny and the large orange cat pointed their guns at the two cats. Callie went close to Zack and whispered, " Zack what are they doing? Is this part of the plan?"
" No. Ugh why didn't I think this would happen now."
Benny made a sinister laugh and smiled, " Well, look at dis! Zack Wiskerson made a wrong c-cacula-caa...uhh..."
" Calculation?" Both Zack and Callie corrected.
" Shawdup!" Benny yelled, " I know how to say Cowculation! Now you twos go to dat chair, sit down and shawd up!" Zack and Callie stared blankly at Benny, for a few seconds Zack finally broke the silence, " Which chair Benny? This is an office full of chairs... you idiot."
Zack got Benny really aggravated, Benny yelled out of frustration and pointed to a black leathered office chair, " Dat's it! Yous twos sit in that chair- yeah the same chair!"
Since Callie and Zack didn't bring any weapons to protect themselves, they did what Benny ordered and sat in the same office chair; Lenny tied the two up together. Unfortunately for Callie, she had to sit across Zack's lap.
" Ha ha! Now I'm in charge now! Everything's gonna go my way and YOUR not gonna tell me what to do Zack."
Zack narrowed his eyes and said, " How could you be in charge if I had to help you count your change when you buy something at the store?"
" Shut up Zack," Benny yelled, "Or I'll shot the blond! Now give me the disk or I'll-"
" What? Spend it all at Seven-Eleven?" said Callie.
" Ohh. That's a good one Cal." Said Zack.
" Thanks."
Benny pointed his gun at Callie and shouted even louder, " Now don't you start that blond before I blow ya brains out! If ya got any."
" Look who's talking." Callie said.
Zack trying to hold his laughter snorted," Ohh, another one, she's on a roll Benny."
Benny was fuming mad but he passed it off with an laugh," Well yous two won't be talkin' crap anymore once these things go off!" The large orange cat zipped open his red duffle bag and inside was seven-
" Bombs!" Callie and Zack said together.
" Yep bombs! I did it all by my self- NO I DON'T WANTA COOKIE ZACK- it's gonna go off in about two hours...or was it an half an hour..."
" Yo Benny, ya set it on an hour in a half." Lenny corrected. Benny blankly look at Lenny, " Anyway I'm gonna put these next to ya Zack and I'm gonna leave and be filthy rich!" Benny snatched the red duffle bag from the large orange cat and tossed the bag of bombs next to Zack and Callie.
" You're not going to get away from this!" Zack yelled, "If I'm not going to get you Benny the enforcers are going to eventually!"
Callie narrowed her eyes and said, " And if the enforcers can't catch you then the Swat Kats are going to bust your tail!"
Benny laughed and smiled, " The enforcers!? The Swat Kats!? Those guys can't touch me once I make it to the border. While I'll be in a tropical resort with girls in bikini servin' me drinks while sitting in a beach chair, you guys are gonna be six feet under."
Benny walked over to Zack's and roughly search his hands in his pants pocket and pulled out the disk that's filled with the money, " That's all I need from ya, Zack. C'ya around, in peaces."
" Go to hell!" Zack roared.
" You first." Benny smirked, He walked away from Zack and pointed his gun towards Lenny and Tiny, " Along with you twos."
Tiny looked at Lenny and Lenny had a confused look on his face, " What the? Benny what are ya talkin' about?"
" If you think I'm going to split the money then you must be out of your mind! " Benny said with anger. He point the gun directly at Tiny and shouted, " Far's I know you was probably with Wiskerson from square one, so I'm not talkin' any chances with you! So back off towards Wiskerson and the blond!"
Tiny raised his hand and started to back away from the crazed cat slowly and without any sudden movements. While Benny's attention was solely on Tiny, Lenny was quietly sneaking towards him to snatch the gun out of his hands, until Benny perked up to what happened and aimed the gun directly Lenny ready to shoot, " What the heck are ya doin'!"
Quickly Lenny took two steps back and pleaded, " Benny calm down, were not going to do anything to ya. I wasn't goin' to do anythin' to ya, I swear it."
" Oh yeah!" Benny shouted. Then a loud bang and the smell of faint gun smoke filled the room and a scream woven with pain came out of Lenny. Callie gasped and looked at Lenny, who collapsed on the floor holding his left leg groaning in pain, it appears the bullet went through that leg,
" I've seen you talkin' to one of them enforcers the other day." Benny said. " Tellen' all our business to dem."
Trying to suppress his pain, Lenny tried to speak but sometimes he sounded like he was holding his breath and gasping for air,
" Yeah, I was an informant Benjamin...so you think you won huh just 'cause you figured me out...But you don't know the damage we already done..."
As Lenny was talking, Callie felt Zack's hand moving on her leg, immediately she hissed, " Zack what the heck are you doing to my leg."
He signaled her to quiet down, " Lenny's making time for us."
" What does that have to do with what your doing with my leg?! And how did you free your hands?"
" He deliberately screwed up tying the rope without Tiny or Benny finding out, It was loose around my hands so I got them free and part of the rope looks like its loose around your leg."
" How long is it going to take to free us?" She asked.
" I don't know just give me time."
As Zack continued to untie himself and Callie, Lenny continued his speech trying to buy time for Zack, " We got all the evidence in the headquarters Benjamin...I can't wait to see your face when they get you. "
" Oh yeah!" Benny started to chuckle and pointed to Callie, " So with the fake info I got on the deputy mayor you guys wasted all ya time."
" What are ya talking about?" Callie shouted, " I was abducted from my car."
" You are so stupid!" Benny laughed and he sniffed his nose, " I spread a false rumor on you all over the city on how you em...em...em-embe-"
" Embezzled?" Everybody said except Tiny.
" I KNOW HOW THE HECK HOW TO SAY INBEDZLED!" Benny shouted out.
Lenny cracked a smile, " You shouldn't use words that you don't know how to say Benny."
" Shawd up!" Benny mumbled, " Anyway, I told everyone that you, Miss. Deputy Mayor, was going taking money out of the treasury and you would take the money out if you will get half."
Lenny's jaw dropped and he look like he had a sick look on his face, " And then I felled for the trick."
" Yep." Benny smiled, " And you told Zack all about it and he ended up getting the blonde ova here and get my money. You was thinkin' that if you bust me and the Deputy Mayor in one you'll be famous for it," He started to laugh and he shouted, " But the only thing you will be famous for is blowin' up yourself, Wiskerson, and the blond to kingdom come!" He made a warm smile and his beady eyes started to gloss with pride, " My old man would of finally be proud of me, if I didn't slip cyanide into his food."
" Your insane." Callie said.
" No I'm nuts, " Benny cracked, " And I don't give a damn." The crazed cat laughed once again and continued.
" Now with my very, very, very smart thinkin' I got a five in one deal. I get ta have all the money, I don't have to share it all, I can get rid of an enforcer scum like Lenny, I can get rid of the Deputy Mayor, and I finally can get rid of Zack from getting the title that I deserved."
" You don't deserve a damn thing!" Lenny shouted in anger, " Your father knew he was poisoned by you that's why he made Zack boss. He rather let someone who's not related to you run things instead of his own incompetent son!"
Benny's face started to turn red with anger, he aimed his gun at Lenny and growled, " Lenny, or who eva the heck your names is. You better shut up 'cause in a hour bit's of pieces of you are going to fly everywhere around the city."
After the last knot, Zack finally untied himself and Callie. She was about to jump out the chair and hit Benny for spreading rumors around about her until the dark gray cat grabbed her arm, " Wait a minute," Zack whispered, " When Benny turns his back I'll jump him and you get yourself out of here as fast as you can."
Callie had a worried expression in her green eyes, " B-But what about you Zack?"
" I'll be fine." Zack said with a half smile, "Just as long as you get out of here and go straight to headquarters, you'll be safe. That's all I care about right now Call, just to see that you're safe."
Callie nod her head, " Alright, but just don't get killed by him, Okay."
" I promise."
Benny twirled the gun in his hand and started to walk away backwards, " Now I'll be leaving ya guys." He waved goodbye and turned around walking out of the office room.
" Now!"
Callie jump out of Zack's lap and ran out of the way and Zack sprinted towards Benny and knocked him down towards the floor. The gun slipped out of Benny's hands and sided a few feet away from the two. The two cat's look at each others eyes breathing heavily looking to see who would be the first one to go for the gun. Benny crawled madly towards it trying to get it, but Zack tacked his legs trying to make the other cat immobile but Benny kicked him in the face a couple of times until Zack jumped on his back. Callie stood there looking at Zack struggling to not let Benny take the gun, " I can't leave him alone! I got to do something." She thought.
Lenny ripped off his left sleeve and wrapped it around his wound, " Lady you better listen to Zack." After the third wrap he made a knot and exhaled, " The enforcers by now think your one of the bad ones, you gotta clear your name or-"
" I don't care, Zack needs my help." She looked at the gun and she ran out of the room and into the hallway and quickly grabbed it before Benny could get it,
" Freeze Benny!" Callie shouted as loudly as she can. Benny froze in fear and crawled off of Zack, " I-I..."
" Get away from him!"
Benny cowardly crawled away from Zack back to the office room, " Please lady, D-don't shoot me- I-I beg ya!"
Zack stood up bruised but not severely hurt, and walk next to Callie, " Give me ONE good reason for Cal not to blow your miserable brains all over the bloody floor!" Zack shouted. His accent was heavier now then when he talked before.
Benny back all the way until he hit an adjacent wall, and rolled into fetal position while covering his head while crying, "I don't want to die I don't want to die-"
" Freeze!"
Benny screamed hi pitch, pointed towards the source of the voice, and started to tremble with fear, "Ahh! I-It's the Swat Kats! And the ugly Enforcer!!" Katie or the Ugly Enforcer Benny named her, made a death stare at him and growled in a very intimidating way, " Ya better swallow those words back down ya mouth or I'll stuff them down with my fist!"
" Aww go ta Hel-"
"Shut ya trap!" T-Bone shouted. Him and Razor both aimed their Gloveatrix at Benny, Zack and Callie. Razor shouted towards Callie, "And you! I can't believe you was about to wipe out this loser so you and Zack would get more of the money!"
Callie and Zack look at each other, "Huh?"
" Don't act stupid Briggs. You was about the do the same thing you almost did with that other guy."
Callie looked around and found Lenny who collapsed spread out onto the floor with blood slowly seeping out of his leg that he tied up by ripping out his long sleeve shirt and tying it, then she looked at the gun that she was holding in her hand, " HUH! N-No it's not what you think guys!" She made an apologetic smile and toss the gun away from her, " Me and-"
Zack tried to explain along with Callie, " And her-"
" That idiot tied us up in a chair-"
" I was about to die until- Wait! Tiny could tell you he seen everything!" Zack franticly looked around for tiny but he was nowhere to be found until he can hear Tiny's pain filled moan from behind one of the desk, " Tiny! What's wrong chap," Zack started to laugh out of frustration and shouted, " Me and Cal are at gun point and we really need your HELP!"
" He's lying about the whole thing I bet." T-Bone muttered.
" Are you calling me a liar." Zack asked with intimidation.
" If the shoe fits."
" Don't you have something better to do T-Bozo-aw whatever the hell's your name is." Zack hissed. He pointed out the window and ordered, " Go jump out the window, see if you can fly, since you're a 'super hero'."
" I'll throw you to see if gravity working right." T-Bone growled.
A middle aged cat (the same middle aged cat with colorblindness) with a mop bucket knocked on the door lightly and asked, " I didn't know you had an after office hour in here Miss. Briggs?" The middle-aged cats sighed out of exhaustion and wipe the little beads of sweat from his forehead, " Ya guys should'a of called me before ya had the party I wouldn't come to this room. Hey-wait a minute there goes that same girl I saw on the street...what were we talkin' about before?"
As the middle-aged man was pondering on where he met Katie, Benny, who was sitting against the wall, stared at the man, looked at the handgun and stare back at the middle aged man. Finally the light bulb dimly flashed. Quickly he crawled over, grabbed the gun and ran towards the man, grabbed him and put the other end of the gun pressed on his cranium,
" Uhh- Look at dis everybody!"
The whole group turned their heads and saw Benny, who look like he's at the point of insanity, made a tooth to tooth smile while trying to press the gun further into the middle aged man's head, " I got a hostage!"
" We all see that Benny." Zack said.
" Shut ya pie hole! Now all of yous are goin' ta let me go 'cause one, I'm crazy, b, I want ta get away from ya losers with da money, and ten, 'Cause I can shoot this guy in the head! But it doesn't matter anyway 'cause all of ya are gonna be dead in one minute, that stuff that I put into Tiny is gonna work soon."
Zack scratched his head, " Exactly what did you put into Tiny?"
Tiny started to growl not out of pain almost like some kind of animal. Lenny sat up and had a very sick look on his face, " Oh no, Benny ya didn't use that stuff right?"
Benny's laughter sounded like it was almost to the point of insanity, " I use this stuff that my father hid away from me when he raided this ship a couple of years ago and blew up. Some kind a chemical crap that had the words steroids, extremely dangerous, and uncontainable." After Benny said those words Lenny started to make a mad crawl behind one of the desk, " This isn't happeing! This isn't happening! This isn't happening!"
"He's gonna turn into one big scary monster right?" Katie asked. She yawned and it seamed like she experience a couple of monsters in her time, " We just do what we always do around here..."
" What's that?" Zack said.
" Blow it up. It always works."
" That's not going to work!" Lenny yelled from behind the desk far away from a morphing Tiny, " That thing is like a homing device with razor sharp claws! Once it looks at you it's going to hunt you down 'till it shred you to ribbons."
On other side of the office one of the desks was picked up, and thrown out of a window. Benny who was somewhat scared at the power of what he created, pushed the middle aged cat into the room and ran towards the staircase. A large roar could be heard and everybody hid behind one of the desk or something that could hide themselves from the monster.
Hiding with Zack, Callie was pretty angry thinking on how her whole night felt like it was going straight to the ultimate pit of despair, "Alright I want to know who's idea it is that made up that drug!"
" It was actually made in my wonderful hometown Katland," Zack said sarcastically, " They banned it all over the country and over here. It's so dangerous nobody even want to buy it in the Black market. But it's a good thing it doesn't make the cat who eats it explode-"
" Oh no! I forgot," Callie, gasped, She looked at T-Bone and Razor who was across from them also hiding behind one of the desk, " I forgot to tell you Benny made a couple of bombs,"
" How many?" Razor asked.
" About seven of them and a hour passed a long time ago so it's going to go off in a half an hour."
" Where?"
Zack pointed towards the other side of the office.
" This is my lucky day." Razor said with sarcasm. Katie who was behind a large trashcan thought, I don't want Razor to get hurt.. She started to crawl over to where the bombs were place, she whispered, " Don't worry Razor I'll get 'em for you."
" What the heck are ya doing Katiez?!" T-Bone whispered to her.
" I'm going to were the guy pointed to so I can get the bombs."
" Missy are ya nuts," The middle-aged cat whispered hoarsely hiding behind a desk with Lenny, " That guy said I'll cut you into shreds-gees- just like my niece, stubborn."
" But I'm the better cat around here, I'm light, I'm fast on my foot and-"
" Katie do you even have bomb experience?" Razor asked.
She didn't answer Razor's question but she was determined to not let Razor go, " Y-yeah-kind of- I'm goin' Razor and you can't-" And the argument between the two would of continued until they heard a young girl's voice calling out " Callie? Callie! Where are you?"
" That's Sally!" Callie cried. T-Bone eyed her and thought, " What she's doing here? Oh no!"
The group could hear the vibrations the monster that Tiny turned into running out of the office room and into the hallways. The middle aged cat raised out of his hiding spot and shouted, " Where did that thing- or whatever- went to!? Who's voice is that?!"
" That's my sister!" Callie cried, " And it's after her!"
" Hello?" Sally called out unsure and somewhat frightened. She has a little knowledge about the layout of the building because she rarely comes to Callie's job because the last time she was here she was lost for the whole day so she vowed that she'll never come back without Callie showing her the way. However, she didn't know how scary it was going to be when it's the after hours. How the hallways were overshadowed, the noise from her shoe echoes thought the building every time she took a step, and the only light source was coming from the city lights from outside, but it didn't illuminated the hallways as she wanted it.
" Why did I run in here?" She whispered aloud while sneaking down the hall. She knew Callie and that other guy, she believed named Zack, ran off to this building for something. She could feel her heart beating fast in her chest that she thought it was going to burst out of her and run off. Sally was slowing down her pace until she made a abrupt halt, wrapped her arms around herself, and cried, "I'm afraid of the dark...It's too scary... I-I." She wanted to continue walking but her legs felt like dried cement.
" I can't go anymore..." Sally sobbed.
Salty water started to drop down from Sally's eyes, she dried them away with her sleeve, and sobbed, "I'm afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of nighttime in the city. I'm afraid of water, snakes, bugs, and blood." She sniffed her nose and thought aloud, " Look at your self Sally you're a scary cat you're afraid of everything how could you help Callie if you can't even move? You can't do anything without getting scared to death I'm useless! How could I save my sister if I can't even watch a scary movie with monsters."
All of a sudden, Sally heard a faint growl. A scary, hungry growl. Sally froze in fear and beads of sweat started to form on her forehead, " W-what was that? Please...please don't make it be one of the things I'm highly afraid of." She wanted to scream as loud as she could but her throat was dry with fear.
Closer and closer, the growling creature came to her. Sally shut her eyes tight, " Please just let it go away. Please." Despite Sally's wishes, the thing that was growling was walking closer and closer to her. She knew that whatever that was growling like that isn't a cat, and it's a high probability that thing is possibly stronger and bigger.
Sally slowly backed away from the monster, and the monster moved closer. She did it again and the monster moved closer. She went so far back that she hit an adjacent wall and the monster was growing nearer. Sally opened her eyes to see across from her was a large shadowed creature with long dark orange hair and scary glowing red eyes. She looked around franticly to see if there were any doors around her to escape too, however there wasn't any. Shaking with fear, she gulped and yelled, " Please someone help me? Anybody?"
The monster made a very angry growl and was about to pounce onto Sally until she heard T-Bone's voice shout out, " Sally lay low!" Sally did what she was told and lowered herself as close as she can to the floor and covered her head with her hands. Quickly T-Bone fired a mini missile at the monster and it was a direct target while the monster was in the air, it lost its balance and started flying towards the window and smash through it. The monster made a large howl while falling towards the city streets.
Sally uncovered her head and looked around, there were dust partials coming from the busted wall and white smoke. She was never so happy to see a wall with a big hole in it.
Callie searched around the area looking for any first aid kit; luckily, she found one underneath one of the desks that was in the room. Immediately she went to Lenny to give him some needed care on his leg.
" I hope Zack and T-Bone finds Sally soon," Callie said to Lenny, he didn't give a response, " I don't know what I'll do if she's-"
Lenny coughed a couple of times and gave her a half smile, " Don't worry 'bout it Briggs."
Callie gasped, " You was up the whole time?"
" Yeah I was." Lenny answered, " I've been shot at so many time's I get use to the pain after awhile, so you don't have to worry 'bout me." The injured cat said. He sat up and looked up at her and said in a encouraging way, "Anyway, I knew Zack since he was a 'lil kitten. He'll find her, especially when he has that Swat Kat with him. They'll do fine. "
" I hope T-Bone isn't in trouble." Razor said. While staring at the bag with worry, he looked up at Katie who was on the other side of the bag impatiently waiting for Razor to open it, " Open it so we can cut the wires." She said in a hasty nervous way.
" We should be careful at opening the bag," Razor said, " We don't know if that guy trigger the bombs to blow when we-HEY! What are you doing?!"
Katie grabbed the black bag roughly and quickly zipped it open without thinking on what the danger of opening the bag may bring, " There. Now do we cut the wires?"
" You know what could of happen?!" Razor shouted, " Pieces of us would of flown everywhere."
" Ok Razor it didn't happen so can we cut the wires now?" Katie complained.
The middle age cat shook his head, " Just like my niece...just like my niece."
Katie was getting annoyed, " Who is your niece anyway?"
Razor peeked into the bag and said, " Since this is your above average mobster he probably made normal bombs. And since you never really had bomb experience-"
" I went through bomb training!" Katie shouted defensively. Her sentence started to trail off as she continued, "I just didn't do as 'good' as the others that's all."
Razor looked at her unbelievingly, " Uh huh. Anyway, all we have to do is cut the red wire and the bomb is offline." He did found seven plastic explosives that were in the bag, all of them were blinking red lights. They look like normal bombs except-
" Crud! He used purple and pink wires!" Razor said with frustration, " Who in their right mind would use that!?"
Katie tightened her fist and growled, " That stupid psycho sonofa-"
" Then what are you twos going to do?" The middle-aged cat said worryingly interrupting Katie. He glanced at her and scold, " And you missy, you don't need to use language like that your gonna have a sailor's mouth like my niece."
Katie rolled her eyes, " Yeah whatever." She glanced over at Razor who was thoroughly studying the two colored wires in his hand.
" Why would anyone use purple and pink wires? Either this guy is a complete moron, doesn't know what he's doing, or he's colorblind."
Katie gasped, ran towards the Middle aged cat, grabbed him, dragged him over to Razor, and ordered, "Mister look at those wires and tell me what you see."
The Middle aged cat look at the two wires while scratching his raggedy hair, " Umm...I see that one of 'em wirers look blue and that other one looks like a red."
Razor looked at the Middle Age Cat and Katie and grinned, " Katiez, I think you solve the problem to our dilemma!"
" Great." Katie took the pair of clippers away from Razor and said happily, " Now we can cut the wires." Without realizing the damage she would cause she clipped the pink wire. Razor quickly snatched the clippers away from her,
" What have you done!? We could of-Hey!" He noticed that there wasn't a loud boom or fire around the building. He cheered, " Bingo! We didn't explode! It worked!"
" Alright!" Katie cheered. She wipe some bead of sweat from her forehead, " Razor did you do this stuff before? You must be an bomb expert unless if you had training or something?"
" Aww. It's nothing Katie. It's just something I know." Razor gazed at the orange haired enforcer and smiled, " Hey, you wasn't bad...for my first student."
" Really?"
" Yeah, if you wasn't hear who know what would of happen."
Katie smiled with relief and gazed into Razor's eyes, " To tell you the truth Razor...I-I didn't really get a high grade on bomb squad but in the academy and-"
" That's ok," Razor chuckled, " I almost flunked the course." As Razor continued to laugh, Katie stayed quiet for a while until she asked with skepticism, " Your tellin' me that you was in the Enforcer Academy for the basic bomb squad course?"
Razor stopped and realized he was halfway revealing his secret identity. He thought of anything to tell her and immediately he said, " N-NO! I was...uhh...reading about bombs when-uhh I was in...umm NEW JERSEY while sitting in a course about making bombs! Yeah! That's right New Jersey. NO where NEAR Mega Kat City....hehe...yeah...New Jersey."
Katie stared at Razor a couple of minutes, " Uhh...Ok Razor-"
" Excuse me kids," The Middle Aged Cat interrupted, " I'm almost at my retirement year and I'll like to reach it you two."
Razor and Katie looked into the bag together looking for some more bombs. " Sure, it's going to be easy as pie now. " Katie said.
" Since we figure out which is red and which is-oh no!" Razor pulled out another bomb, this time it had orange and aqua colored wires.
" T-Bone!" Sally smiled almost near tears. She jumped up from off the floor, opened her arms, and gave the large tabby the tightest hug she could give around his shoulders and she shouted happily,
" Oh! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!"
" Don't mention it." T-Bone smiled. He put Sally down on the floor and his attitude changed, " Kid, why didn't you stay at headquarters with the others?"
" I did stay with Miss. Feral," Sally cried, " Then this man name Mr. Steele started to make me scared asking all these questions. Then I was talking to this nice lady named Ms. Clawson and while we was in our conversation I realized that Callie was-"
" Are you alight Sal?"
Sally eyes then full with fear. She went behind T-Bone and pointed at him, " It's the guy who pulled on my hair! It really hurt!"
" Geez I'm so sorry," Zack said mockingly, " That was like, a long time ago. Anyway, I came here incase fat cat got stuck somewhere and needed my help saving you."
" You're pushing it Wiskerson." T-Bone growled.
" Yeah yeah. So where's the bloody monster at?"
T-Bone pointed towards the broken window, " Are you that stupid that you cant tell that the monster went through the window?"
" ...Shut up."
" You shut up."
" You!"
" You!"
" YOU!"
" YOU!"
Sallie went between the two who look like who was getting ready to fight and pleaded, " Please guys cant you two just get along?"
" NO!" the two shouted.
" Then can I see my sister now?"
"YES!" T-Bone and Zack shouted. They both pointed towards the room where Callie was and shouted, " She's in there."
Sally ran towards the door and called out, " Callie! Are you in here?" Callie looked around and found the gray shekat looking around helplessly in the room, " Sally!
" Callie!" Sally shouted with glee. She ran towards Callie and literally jumped on top of her, embracing her tightly almost to the point of cutting off her circulation. Sally inhaled and with one big breath she said, "IthoughtyouwasabadcabutthenwhenIwasatenforcerheadquartersIfinallyfigureditoutandyouwasjustactingoutandI'msogladthatIfoundyouIamreallyreally happythatIfoundyouandIthoughtIwasgoingtogeteatenbythisbigscarymonstebutT-BonesavemeandthatgrayKatlandcatandT-BonetoldmewhereyouwasandthenI foundyou!"
Callie giggled and hug her sister back, " Sally I don't understand a word you said but I'm so glad that you're safe and sound."
The middle age cat wiped a coming tear with his sleeve and sobbed, " This is so sweet," The cat look at Katie who looked disgusted and asked, " don't ya think so missy?"
Katie rolled her eyes, " Eww, now you remind me of my uncle, he always like those sappy movies-"
" Now you really remind me of my nice." The Middle aged cat continued to sob.
" Bingo!" Razor cheered to himself, " That was the last bomb in bag."
In the hallway, Zack was looking out of the window where the monster smashed through. He shook his head and made a low whistle, " I feel sorry for the cat who owns the car down there, hope their insurance covers monster damage."
" How could you be worried about somebody else's car?" T-Bone asked with frustration, " That cat just left with all of the treasury money."
Zack turned around and growled with frustration, " Don't you think I'm not worried about that too?"
" Worried about what?! He has your money he's practically doing what you wanted to anyway."
" Listen fatso," Zack yelled, " If I had the money I would of do something different with it and...I..." Zack trailed off on his sentence and suddenly his eyes were wide open. He grabbed onto T-Bone's collar and the gray cat's eyes look like he had a wild thought full of madness, " T-Bone! How long does it take to go to the airport from here!?"
" International or National?"
Zack shook his collar violently, " Anyone!"
" It's only an hour, depending on traffic or if theirs a checkpoint. Now let go of me who knows where you been!"
Zack pushed him away and he jetted towards the stairway, " Listen, I can't explain because I'll take me hours! However, if you want to arrest me or beat the crap out of me then come and follow me. FATTY!" He then slam the door close.
" Crud! He's not goin' to get away that easy." T-Bone growled with anger. Quickly he ran in the office where Razor was and picked him up like a suitcase.
" H-HEY T-BONE! What the heck are ya doing!?" Razor said.
" That katland cat decided to jet outta here! Were goin' after him!"
Katie walked behind T-Bone shouting, " Hey I'm goin' too!"
" No your not Katiez." Razor told Katie, " Make sure the Briggs and others get to headquarters safe and sound. Alright."
" Aww man." Katie kicked the ground and she mumbled, " Sure Razor."
At the Mega Kat City Docks, it been considered a dangerous place during the daytime, but the nights are horrendous. It is dark and desolate place where good-natured cats don't go around because of the shady cats around the area. In the damp darkness, a black car rolled up and stop to a halt. Without cutting off the car, the driver flew open the driver side door and Benny jumped out, " The odds of finding a black car out in the city for me to steal." He took the disk out of his pocket, tossed it up in the air and caught it. " It's a lucky night for ya Benny Martinez." He said. The cat kissed the disk and smiled triumphantly. He then started to walk towards a medium size yacht that had the name " S.S. Ginger." He jump off the pier and into the boat and said, " I got the luck, the money, and the transportation to go anywhere in the world without da enforcer looking for me, the Swat Kats can't touch me, and the stupid Wiskerson is out of my life forever!"
" I don't think it's going to be that easy Martinez."
Benny franticly looked around yelling, " Who! Who's that!?!?"
" Who do you think you ignorant fool?" Zack jumped out of nowhere and smiled, " Surprise! It's me."
" Damn it Wiskerson," Benny furiously shouted, "Why wont you leave me alone! You're the boss of my father's business and you have more money then anybody! What more do you want!?"
" Nothing really." He answered. He cracked his knuckles in the palm of his hands. Slowly he walked towards Benny who was also ready to fight, " Just beating the living daylights out of you is all I want." Then Zack sprinted towards Benny until he pulled out a handgun from hinding and shouted, " Let's see if you'll try and beat dis!" Benny pulled the trigger and a loud gun blast came out of it. Benny pictured Zack falling on the floor dead but the katland cat somehow dodged the bullet just in time and tackled Benny onto the ground. The gun fell out of Benny's hand and the force of the tackle also made the disk fly out of Benny's pocket and stop at the very edge of the boat. Dancing towards the edge of it's destruction.
" The disk!" Zack and Benny shouted wide eyed. They both glanced at the gun and shouted simultaneously, " The gun!" Benny started to scramble towards the gun but Zack was wrestling with the cat trying to get ahead to get the two items before the other cat did and he almost reached it until Benny grabbed onto his face and pulled himself in front of him. He made it to the disk and gun instead.
" Look who made it now Wiskerson." Benny taunted. He aimed the handgun at Zack who backed away from him so Benny wouldn't be too alarmed,
" Great I let a ignorant fool beat me." Zack said disappointedly.
" Shut up!" Benny roared, " I've been waiting for this day for so long, I have dreams at night just thinking about it. And now I'm the one with all the power and you're the one goin' to be dead in a few seconds."
" Congratulations Benny." Zack said in fuming sarcastic tone, " I guess poisoning your father, changing Tiny into a monster and attempted murder on an undercover enforcer really put you in the lead. I know and you know that you possibly cannot get away from it-"
Benny loaded the gun and pointed it towards Zack's head, " But I did and I am Zack. Kiss your tail goodbye."
Zack wished for any miracle that could stop Benny pulling the trigger and he started to think that it wouldn't come true. Benny was somehow thrilled at Zack being scared out of his mind, which caused him to laugh wickedly but all that stopped, when Zack started smiling.
" What the hell are ya smiling 'bout?" Benny demanded.
" I'm smiling about what's about to happen to you," Zack answered. He looked up at the night sky and on the top of the flat roof on the boat was T-Bone and Razor looking over and ready to pounce onto Benny. The gray cat continued, " You'll see why I'm smiling. ...Right about...Now." A hard heavy blow was felt on Benny's face, which caused him to fall hard. The impact was so strong that the gun slid out of his hand and fell into the water. Zack jumped up and brushed himself off, " What took you two so long? I could of lost one of my lives. You guys are not very dependable cats you know." T-Bone clenched his fist and grumbled in annoyance, " What ever happen to, ' Thank you for saving my life.' and ' I'm happy that you came.'? I didn't have to follow you all the way over here ya know." Razor was the last to safely leap off the roof. " Please guys can we just-"
" NO!" T-Bone and Zack shouted.
Razor bent his eyebrows and spat, " What the!? You guys didn't even know what I was going to-"
" WE KNOW!" The two shouted again.
" Hey supercat, can you please stop saying the same thing I'm going to say?" Zack demanded. He then continued along like he sounded like he was going to be sick, " Not only it annoying but sharing the same words is starting to make me think I'm related to you. Which I hope that it isn't true."
" Listen Katland boy." T-Bone emphasized, " YOU better stop saying the same thing I'm sayin' or I'll-"
" What?" Zack hissed angrily, " Punch me in the face? C'mon, try it, I dare you."
As the two cats continue bickering and Razor trying to keep the peace, Benny opened his eyes and his blood started to boil. He knew that he was going to end up in prison eventually and he'll lose all the money, but what made him angrier than anything was that his boss was going to win. Slowly Benny pulled out a small Swiss knife from his jacket and position himself to attack him, who was focusing all his attention to the large Swat Kat. Then with one inhale he screamed, " Prepare to die Zack!" And he started charging towards him with full force. T-Bone and Razor acted quickly, T-Bone pushed Zack away from Benny's path, and Razor reached into his pocket, popped the cork off the test tube and splashed the contents all over Benny's face. The strong fowl stench of the brown icky sludge cause Benny to stop in his tracks and screamed.
" Ahhh!!! What the heck did ya put all over my face it stinks!?" Benny shouted wildly. He tried to wipe the sludge off his face but his fur was entangled with the sticky slime. Making a wild scream, he ran off the boat and continued to scream until out of nowhere he saw the sand colored fist coming at him right between the eyes and all he saw last was just blackness.
" I didn't know this stuff would be this powerful." Razor said with awe when he jumped of the boat along with T-Bone and found Katie cracking her knuckles standing over a knocked out Benny, " Hi guys." She greeted, " The party's over already?"
" What are you doing here Katiez!?" T-Bone growled, " Aren't you suppose to be with the others?"
" I was." She said, " After that I grabbed another enforcer vehicle and drove over here. Incase you guys needed me help" Katie smelled a fowl stench close by, she sniffed her nose and cried, " What the heck is that smell!? Is it coming from him?"
" Yeah." Razor point out. He looked at the empty test tube and he made a smile " I think it's our new weapon. Hey T-Bone did anyone seen Zack?"
T-Bone thought for a moment and answered, " No. Not until I pushed him away from-"
" Excuse me!" Zack shouted out. He was soak and wet all over his body, which was a funny sight. " Why did you push me over the railing you idiot Don't you know your own strength!?"
T-Bone rolled his eyes, " This guy I tell ya, he doesn't even know how to say, 'Thank you for saving my life.'" Zack ignored T-Bone and walked over to Benny. He whistled, " Wow. I knew he always had a distinguish kind of stench on him but I didn't know he smelled this bad. At least he's going to jail anyway so he wont bother me no more."
T-Bone, Razor and Katie looked at Zack all with their faces twisted with confusion, " What the heck are ya talking about?" Katie questioned him, " You're the boss of the whole Martinez group your going to jail too."
Zack started to laugh so hard that T-Bone growled, " What's so funny Wiskerson?"
" You are right about me being the boss of the whole Martinez group and me going to jail," Zack explained, " but none of you guys don't really know who I really am.," He went into his pocket and pulled out a black wallet and opened it in front of them. Katie and Razor was surprised but not more as surprised as T-bone,
" For you see," Zack smiled halfway and continued, " I'm part of the Katland Enforcers Undercover Division."
" You!" T-Bone emphasized, " You are a undercover agent?!"
" Do I really have to repeat myself to you?" Zack sneered. T-Bone was about to say something back at Zack until Katie interrupted, " Hold it. If you are an undercover agent then how did you end up the boss? Why didn't Feral tell me this before!?"
" I'll explain later, " Zack answered, " But how about we take this loser to enforcer headquarters shall we say, now?"
After the Swat Kats, Katie and Zack took Benny to Headquarters Zack started to tell the whole story about his undercover work which took about an hour to finish. But to sum it up in two of more sentences Zack and his partner Lenny was an undercover enforcer working for Benny's father. He did a good job, or as Lenny called it, a too good job into tricking Benny's father into thinking he was a legit mob cat. When Benny's father was dying, he asked Zack to be the new boss because he found out Benny poisoned him. And...Well. You guys know what happened from there. A few days latter Katie did ask Feral why he didn't tell her Zack was on their side. His answer was,
" You never asked." He answered casually while finishing some paper work that was neatly placed in a very efficient way.
" WHAT!? You knew about it all along!?" Katie exclaimed, " How long was this was happening!?"
" For two years. Lenny Tailsson, he was an undercover veteran in Katland years ago until he transferred over to Mega Kat City so he could aid Wiskerson, since he's not accustom in undercover work. Lenny also gave us information about the Martines when he consulted with one of our operatives. He is also responsible for capturing Mac and Molly Mange on information he gave us. I didn't tell you anything about Wiskerson or Tailsson because I didn't want a leak coming out." Feral went back into his paper work, " Is that all Private Katiez?"
" No."
" Then what is it then?" He said somewhat in a hasty way.
" I just wanted to know just how many cats are undercover in this city alone sir."
Feral moved his eyes away from the papers and looked at Katie" That's on a need to know basis Katiez, you know that."
" Alright sir." She was about to walk out of Feral's office until he stopped writing on the papers and called out, " Katiez. There's something I need to discuss with you."
Katie turned around, " Yeah sir what'cha want?"
" I just wanted to tell you that Lieutenant Steele made a report on how you left with those vigilantes days ago."
Katie stood in the middle of the office looking at Feral very upset, " Your going to punish me 'cause I was with the Swat Kats!? Just because you don't like 'em-"
" Before you start screaming I also have an report from Felina, Wiskerson and Tailsson the next day after Steele send over his report.." Feral interrupted. " I was about to follow Steele's recommendation, but you also capture Martienez with Wiskerson and from the report I read you diffused a couple of bombs at City Hall, sum it up you did somewhat alright."
" Alright!" Katie cheered. She started jumping up and down until she paused and questioned Feral with a suspicious tone, " So what's the deal?"
" I'll ignore Steele's request for now." Feral said. He went back to his papers. Katie made a tooth to tooth smile and jogged towards the door, " Well Feral 'cya latter, I'm off to patrol the-"
" There's one last thing I want to add, " Feral pointed out, " The next time you decided to run off with those vigilantes I won't be so lenient on you." Katie was about to speak her mind but the commander raised his hand and spoke, " Don't start to quarrel with me I do not have the time to do so. You're dismissed."
Katie closed Commander Feral's office door." Phew, that was close. Must be a good day for him or something." She sighed. As she was walking towards the elevator doors she began to smile as she thought about the time she spent with the Swat Kats. Especially with a certain cat named-
" Oh Katie!" Steele called out interrupting Katie's train of thought. The orange haired private mumbled, " What does he want now."
" I heard Feral calling you to his office." Steele smiled as if he won the lottery, " You been demoted to janitor huh?"
" Not today or tomorrow lieutenant." Katie grinned, " 'Cause I'm that good to get demoted!" She turned her back, started to walk away from the lieutenant, and called for the elevator, "Oh, and Steele."
" What?" He growled.
" Have anything to say before I mentally block ya out for today?"
" I got something to say...you wanna go out?"
" You wanna get punched in the face?"
Steele blanked," ...No."
" Same answer." She said to him as she walked into the elevator. As the doors closed shut and when Katie noticed she was the only one on the elevator she started to smile again as she began to think again about the time she spent with the Swat Kats. Especially about a certain cat she doesn't want to admit to herself she's really fond of.
In the middle of Sylvie Street construction workers were busy at work filling in the potholes on the street. In the middle of that street was Callie's green sedan being hooked up to Chance and Jake's towtruck.
" I'm glad all that stuff is over. " Chance said while hooking up the hook to the front of the bumper. Jake, who was on the other side of the crane, helped Chance also, " I can't imagine that I thought Callie was bad. I mean, what was I thinking?"
" You was just preparing for the worst." Chance answered. They finished hooking Callie's car to the crane and the large tabby brushed his hands off, " But I think you went to far with that buddy, not all cats are going to turn on your back. But I'm glad about one thing that happened out of all of this."
" What?"
" That stupid katland cat Wiskerson gone back home!" Chance emphasized. He leaned onto the tow truck, cross his arms and smiled triumphantly, " I never have to see his ugly face again for a very long time."
" What's wrong big guy?" Jake said playfully, " Can't take the competition?" Chance turned his eyes towards the small mechanic and mischievous smile, " Your talking about me? What about you."
" What about me?"
Chance moved from the truck and cuffed his hands together fluttering his eyes like a love sick cat and then to the best of his ability he imitated Jake's voice, " Oh, I never, ever, ever, ever want to see Katie get hurt. I wouldn't let Callie or Feral or a big old monster or anybody ever physically or mentally hurt her as long as I live and even when I'm dead." After that Chance laughed so hard that he almost fell on his tail. Jake folded his arms and pointed his nose up in the air, " Your exaggerating, I didn't say it like that."
" Yeah ya did." Chance argued, " What was wrong with you? You drank rotten milk? You accidentally sniffed some of the jet paint?" He paused and Jake who was looking at the endless yellowish green sky. Chance waited for a response until he gasped. Jake backed away from him and asked worriedly, " C-Chance? W-what's wrong?"
" I know what it is." He said while making a playful smile. He stepped over to Jake, put him in a headlock and started to rub his head with his cap still on his head, " My little buddy finally has that little fuzzy feeling inside."
Jake face reddened and he tried to breath for some air, " Ack-What?!"
Chance started his fake crying and he sobbed," It is true! They always grow up so fast."
" N-negative Chance!" Jake said still with a red face, " I-I do-NOT like her! I mean I like her a lot but I don't-uhh-like her like her that way I mean...umm...she, I mean, I just like her as a-a-a. "
" Girlfriend.": Chance answered.
" NO!" Jake screamed in his I'm-not-going-to-tell-you way.
All the construction workers stopped working and stared at Jake who was extremely embarrassed. Everyone was quiet until Chance yelled, " What are you guys lookin' at!?"
The construction workers shrugged their shoulders and went back to work.
Chance let go of him and patted him on the shoulder," Ok Jake I wont bother you. I don't know why you like Katie for; I can understand Felina Feral, but KATIE? I mean she's skinny, she short, she always screaming and she acts...wait...IS a tomboy. Maybe you have a thing for red heads."
" Negative Chance." Jake corrected. His eyes then began to show that drowsy dreamy look that he only shows when he get's a new peice of hardware. He cuffed his hands togeather and looked up at the sky and spoke like he was reciting a poem, " Her hair is of an orangey color that looks like the sunset on a summer day at the beach,"
Chance just stood there, " Uhh....Jake are you ok?"
" Her eyes are true blue like tropical waters."
Chance carefully tapped on Jake's shoulder and wispered, " Hey buddy are you alright?"
" Her smile is...uhh...really pretty."
" JAKE!"
Jake jumped, he finaly broke out of that hypnotic state, " Huh?"
" You was rambeling on about how Katie look, either your stalking her or you really like her."
" I dont like her okay Chace." Jake finalised. Jake just shook his head and said, " Whatever you say. But let me teach you a few trick on how to pick up the ladies. I bet when she's with you in a couple of hours she'll be putty in your hands. Well...if she is a girl. "
" You mean how to make them ignore your presence?"
" Funny Jake. Real funny."
Chance and Jake then saw Callie walking down the sidewalk waving and giving a bright smile at the two mechanics, " Hi guys." Callie called out, " Hope I didn't make you guys wait too long for me."
" No Miss. Briggs." Chance and Jake answered simultaneously.
" That's wonderful." The blonde-haired feline cheered. She glanced at the car and noticed that her blown out front left tire was replaced with a brand new one.
" You guys change the tire?" Callie said surprisingly, " Wow! you guys must be the best mechanics in the city."
Jake blushed, " Aww. It nothing new or anything, but we need to take it to the garage so we can replaced the battery." Callie leaned onto the her car door and thought aloud, " Ever since the Swat Kat's rescued me everything's been going great."
" Like what?" Chance asked.
" Well, the guy who turned into that monster actually survived, since the car broke his fall. Now he's in the Mega Kat City Biochemical Lab and he's getting treatment. In no time he'll be back to normal. And Benny's finally in jail for life, where he belongs."
" How about your sister Sally?" Chance asked.
Callie looked at him and paused, " How did you know I have a sister name Sally?"
Jake secretly jabbed Chance on his side then cleared his throat, " Ha ha. Why, Chance wanted to know is...is..."
" I saw her!" The large tabby shouted out. Callie still stared at the two perplexed, " I saw her on the news the other night and I wanted to know how she was doing."
Callie blanked a couple of times, " Oh. Well she's doing fine. She was a little afraid of going out in the street because she feared some guy was going to abduct her again, but with much persuasion and dragging her out of her room I made her go out the street." Callie waved her hand and continued, " She's way over that fear now. She's really popular in her school since that night, but the only problem is that her friend always wants to hear what happen to her fifty thousand times. Sally's friend is, well, how can I say this, she's a really big fan of T-Bone."
There was a moment of silence until she remembered, " Oh I forgot about one thing."
" What?" The two mechanics said at the same time.
" Zack." Callie said vaguely.
Chance placed his hands in his pockets and rolled his eyes," What's about him."
" He went back to Katland."
" He did? When?" Jake asked. He looked at Chance and by the looks of his smile he was going to jump for joy at any moment.
" During the morning." She said with a hint of sadness.
" REALLY!" Chance exclaimed with total happiness, " For how long!"
" He doesn't know yet." She answered, " He said it could be days."
" Maybe weeks." Chance smiled.
She nodded her head, " Could be months."
" Probably years!" Chance said with wide eyes.
Callie sighed and with a finalized tone she thought aloud, " But he has to go back home. It's been two years he was away from his home county. He's probably homesick. But he wouldn't never get to go back home if it wasn't for the Swat Kats."
" Ain't it the truth." Chance mumbled.
"Sometimes I sit at my desk and wonder who those guys are."
" I do." Jake added. He glanced at Chance who was trying to contain his laughter, " I always think about who they really are."
" It could be anybody," Callie said, " And the ironic thing is I probably even talked to them on the street."
" Wouldn't that be ironic." Chance smiled.
" Anyway, since you guys are going to the shop that's about where I'm going. I would of called the chauffer but he's busy with Mayor Manx, so can I hitch a ride with you?"
Before Jake can answer her question, in a blink of an eye Chance was escorting Callie into the truck, " I'll be very happy to Miss. Briggs." He smiled. Callie was about to enter inside the car until a ruby red hoodless car started rolling down the street honking it's horn it halted on the right side of the Towtruck.
" Hi Callie." Zack shouted, " Miss me?"
" Zack!" Callie shouted with glee, " What the heck are you doing here?!"
" What the heck are you doing here Zack!?" Chance emphasized.
" What about your flight?" Jake asked.
Zack jumped out of the car and said, " You would not believe what happened, I was just about to board the plain with Lenny until the announcement was made; there was a malfunction with the plane. So it's under repair until midnight."
" That's really wonderful." Chance said with sarcasm.
" So Cal where you're headed?" Zack asked while gazing at her. Callie smiled, " I was just about to hitch a ride to the other side of town."
" Inside that?" Zack said with disgust while pointing at the old dusty towtruck, " C'mon Cal I'll drive you over. It's no problem at all. I'll even treat you to lunch and possibly dinner?" He looked over at Chance and grinned, " You wouldn't want to bother the mechanics with their job." He looked at Jake and Chance and for some strange reason it felt like he saw them before. But he dismissed this feeling and continued, " So you're coming?"
" Sure!" Callie answered. She jogged over to Zack's car and the Katland cat open the door for her. Finally he jumped into the driver's seat and start up the car, roaring its engine,
" Bye guys!" Callie waved. And as the car screeched down the street the blond feline shouted, " Thanks for offering the ride!" Chance and Jake stood there feeling like they lost the battle.
" Chance?" Jake called.
" Yeah Jake."
Jake scratched his head underneath his red hat, " What just happened?"
Chance sighed, " I don't know...all I know is I want to beat the crap out of that guy."
Jake looked up at Chance and said, " I think Zack just won the battle."
" Yeah." Chance frowned, " He won for today." He climbed into the truck and started the engine up and yelled, " But the war isn't over."
" That's the Chance I know." Jake cheered. He jumped into the truck and gave the large tabby a high five. " He think he's going to win, but he gotta get through me first." Change growled.
And as the tow truck speeded down the bumpy, street it entered into the mass city traffic. In this metropolis, it has been considered normal to have these problems since it's usual to have unusual trials and tribulations. However, as long as the city is in trouble they can always count on two cats named T-Bone and Razor who will surely save the day in this vast crazy city named Mega Kat City.
