15. Fourteen

Eight and a half hours later, Ozone finally stumbled out of the bar. He bumped into several walls and actually fell down the stairs once. Luckily, two felines had come to his aid and dragged his sorry butt out of there. The hairless cat was very high on catnip and drunk on catnip wine. He could barely see a thing as he stepped out into the late evening sunlight. Hiccuping, he was about to head home when he was suddenly tackled to the ground at the entrance of a nearby alley.

"You imbecile! Do you know how long I was out here?!" Tiberius snarled, his feathers soaking wet. It had finally stopped raining for about a minute or so before Ozone had come outside. The hawk was just in a terrible mood at this point. His talons wrapped around the Sphynx cat's throat, he picked up the feline and pinned him against a brick wall as he went on with his lecture, "You said you'd be gone for ten to fifteen minutes! Instead, I had to wait out here, chained to this stupid pole in the rain, for at least EIGHT HOURS!"

"Get off me!" Ozone snapped grumpily, his green eyes narrowing to thin slits. Not waiting for a reply, he raised his paw, claws unsheathed, and lashed out blindly. His vision terribly blurry and his head pounding from a monstrous headache, the Sphynx cat couldn't even see what he had struck or hear the screech of pain. At least the pressure on his throat had been removed. Growling irritably, the hairless feline had nothing to say as he was about to begin his long journey home. He didn't get very far when Tiberius rasped behind him, "You forgetting something?!"

"Nope, goodbye!" Ozone retorted, lashing his tail angrily. In his groggy state, he couldn't remember why in the world Tiberius was there. He definitely didn't recall that he had chained the old hawk to a metal pole. However, the cat did sense it was gonna start raining again. Huffing, he continued on his way just as the clouds opened up. Never once did he look back at the hawk, who was now stranded outside in the storm while blood dripped down from a wound on his neck.
