Makkenzie walked lazily into a room in the base, flopped down on the floor and sighed. Macavity had been making her do a lot of things to get her ready for some robbery he was going to pull off in a few days. She had to get across a large room without being seen, she had to run from one side of the base to another without getting caught, and she had to outrun Macavity. She had just been working on 'getting out of the crime scene before anyone shows up' routine. She was beat.

Makkenzie rolled over on her side and fell right asleep.

..::at the junkyard::..

Demeter let out a sigh. After Munkustrap found out about Makkenzie being Macavity's daughter she had been obviously avoiding him. He had been in a very bad mood for quite a while. Demeter walked over to the pipe hoping to take a nap. But when she got there, Mistoffelees pocked his head out.

"Demeter? Come in, quickly."

Demeter eyes the small black cat and did as he had said. She slipped into the pipe and looked at Mistoffelees, "Yes?"

Misto returned her stare and said, "Listen, I know what's going on. I know why Munkustrap is upset and I know why Makkenzie is gone."

Demeter quickly covered up her worried expression with a confused one, "What so you mean?"

"I mean to say that I am aware of whom Makkenzie's true father is. It's not Munkustrap, is it?"

Demeter solemnly shook her head, "What, did Munku tell you already?"

"No, actually 'Munku' has been doing a good job of keeping his mouth shut."

Demeter let out a sigh of relief, "Good, at least he still has some respect for me."

There was a short moment of silence before Mistoffelees said something, "Why did you not tell us?"

Demeter bit her lip, "I…I was afraid. Afraid for what would happen to Makkenzie. I thought that Old. Deuteronomy would…well…kick her out of the tribe for…"

"For being related to Macavity?"

"Yes. And what everyone think out her. Would they make fun of her? Would they be afraid of her? I had no idea what would happen. You must understand why I didn't tell anyone." Demeter breathed. She looked down to the floor, "I'm sorry. I should have known this would happen."

Mistoffelees lowered his head as well, "I understand. I would have done the same thing in your place."

Demeter sighed again, "What will Munkustrap do?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean…"

The conversation was quickly interrupted by a loud crashing noise from outside. Demeter and Mistoffelees rushed out of the pipe only to find Munkustrap headed out the gate onto the sidewalk nearby. A few other cats were starring at him.

Mistoffelees ran over to Alonzo, "What's going on?"

"Munku, he's, I don't know. I…I think he's going after Macavity!" Alonzo replied, not taking his eyes off Munkustrap.

Demeter immediately ran in front of Munkustrap in an attempt to stop him, "What are you doing?" She cried.

"I'm ending this once and for all." Munkustrap spoke clearly and without making eye contact he continued walking.

Demeter had to run to catch up with him, "Macavity'll kill you! It's too dangerous! You don't even know where he is!"

"I'll find him even if takes be all night.""

"Munku, please!"

But Munkustrap paid no attention her.

"Munkustrap Makkenzie… "

Munkustrap stopped and starred hard at Demeter, "If I can't be her father Macavity sure as Hell won't!" Munkustrap hissed.

Demeter just starred at him in disbelief, 'Is he really that jealous?'

..::at the base::..

The next morning Macavity woke Makkenzie up early. The sun hadn't even risen yet.

Makkenzie yawned and slowly got up, "What now?" She asked, half irritated and half asleep.

"I want you to come with me." Macavity said coolly.

"Why?"

"I'm going back to the jewelry store and I want to see how much you've learned."

Makkenzie stared at him, "Huh?"

"C'mon," He sighed, walking over to the window.

Makkenzie yawned again and slugged over to the window. Macavity leaped over the ledge and ran out into Russell Square with Makkenzie following slowly.

There was a small, old brick building that had just opened not too long along. It was short and looked like an ant compared to the other buildings that surrounded it. The store lights were on but the gate that covered the entryway at night was still up. The window were locked but you could still see through them.

Makkenzie scanned the inside of the building quickly. The only person inside was just a janitor, mopping up the floor in front of the counter.

"Okay, now what?"

"I'm going back for an amethyst."

"Eh?"

Macavity sighed, "A very valuable stone. I want you to help me."

"Really?"

Macavity nodded.

"Awesome!"

"Shhh!" He hissed, "There may be only one person but take it from me, nothing is as it seems."

Makkenzie gave a quick smile and watched as Macavity lifted a section of the gate up slowly without making a sound. He squeezed inside and Makkenzie followed setting the gate back in place behind her.

She looked around carefully, keeping one eye on the janitor and the other on Macavity. Makkenzie crept behind the counter where the janitor was mopping and inched closer to the edge. When the janitor turned around, Makkenzie dove out behind him and ran after Macavity who was head into a darker room in the back. Makkenzie followed him carefully and crept inside. Macavity was already in there, he could see fine in the dark room but Makkenzie was having some trouble. Macavity flickered on a small light that was attached to a table. On the table was a large purple stone surrounded by a glass frame and a few very faint pinkish lights. Makkenzie could barely see them. But she could see the stone. She couldn't look away from its beauty. It shimmered in the light and in gave out a light glow in the dark.

Macavity jumped up onto the table without much complication and very gently created a slit in the glass with his claw. The glass fell into Macavity's hand. Makkenzie looked up at him and he made a motion to guard the door and made sure no one saw him. Makkenzie crept over tot he door and noticed that the janitor was gone. She whipped her head around and tried to yell out for Macavity but fell silent when she see saw the stone again. She felt mesmerized by it. She couldn't say anything.

Macavity noticed her and mouthed 'what' softly. But out of nowhere a siren went off and the room lit up with bright red and blue lights. Macavity grabbed the stone and him and Makkenzie ran. They ran to a window and only Makkenzie stopped when a sound of a door being thrown open was heard. Macavity jumped down from the window but Makkenzie was frozen. She whipped her head around to see at least ten humans dressed in blue suits come charging into the room.

With a swift leap Macavity jumped onto the ledge and grabbed Makkenzie. The men saw a flash of red fur and immediately starred firing. Macavity and her got out of the clearing and into a nearby forest that led up to the base.

When they were far away from the store Macavity stopped and turned towards Makkenzie, "What the fuck happened back there?! Why did you stop? I almost lost the stone and you almost got caught! What's the matter with you?"

Makkenzie starred at him, "I was afraid, okay? The door swung open and I got scared!"

"Why didn't you tell me the guards were coming? That was your job! Remember?" Macavity hissed.

"I'm sorry all right? I tried but that damn stone, it…I just felt like it, I just couldn't say anything!"

"God Makkenzie!"

"I'm sorry!" Makkenzie yelled at him and ran off.

It took a second for Macavity to realized what happened, "Makkenzie! Come back!" He yelled after her.

Macavity began to run in the direction she took off, "Don't go in there! There are…" But a voice from behind stopped him.

"Macavity."

Macavity froze.

"What'd you do her?"

Macavity turned around and was face to face with Munkustrap.

"Where's my daughter?"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

He he….evil cliffhanger. MWA AH HA AH HA! cough sorry. Okay, this was a long chapter, I know. But I couldn't figure out where to stop it. So there! Yea, so…what will happen to Macavity and Munkustrap? And what was Macavity trying to tell Makkenzie?!?! Well, the only way to find out is to review! Well, actually, no. But that doesn't mean you don't have too! (wink,wink) (nudge,nudge)
