Chapter 9

Written by: Cody Furlong & Razorslove

Cody panted loudly in his corner of the room, he looked towards Jett; he watched as Turmoil's goons swarmed around her getting bitten by the half crazed demon. His mother looked back at him; defeat and failure was apparent on her face, each one of the females were instantly taken from the room and to their own. Turmoil's second in command stood there and watched over Jett and Cody, keeping her eyes on the clock as the time drew near for the hostage exchange.

"Everybody get out." The second in command ordered.

Everyone turned and left the room leaving her in there with them, the black and white she-kat looked over the both of them. She looked towards Jett first then she looked towards Cody; obviously she was deciding on who was going to be let go. Jett looked at Cody silently; blood covered her muzzle and her eyes bright. She then walked out of the room; the door closing behind her, Cody looked to Jett once more.

"Mom? Are you alright?" Cody questioned softly.

Jett hadn't taken her eyes off him the entire time that the female was in there with them; she didn't answer him just remained quiet it. Her soulless eyes stared directly at the giant gaping wound on his chest. There was a shape pain as his flesh started to stitch itself back together; a low growl came from Jett then a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine Cody they will give you up first before they give me up." Jett replied softly as she leaned back in her chair.

Cody's ears flattened against his head; the seering pain running through his chest made him grunt loudly and hiss.

"When you're gone there will be nothing to keep me under control with, I don't want you to worry about me though. I'm sure your father has a plan to get me out before Turmoil decides she wants anymore damage." Jett continued her voice low so nobody outside the room could hear her.

"What more could you do?" Cody questioned quietly licking his dry lips.

Jett just sat there quietly her gaze shifted from him to the floor; there were probably many things Turmoil would ask her to do but she would just refuse no matter how terrible the consequences would be. The snow leopard looked up at her son and shook her head silently not sure what to tell him now.

"Don't worry about it now Cody; I can deal with whatever she can dish out." Jett responded solemnly.

"And what if they let you go and keep me instead?" Cody added calmly.

Jett's eyes narrowed on him, her ears perked up and pointed towards him.

"They won't, then again they can totally go in another direction by giving them a false hostage." She replied. "Which they most likely won't do." Jett continued.

Cody sighed softly; he looked down at his bloody chest, it had almost completely healed. The last bit of flesh stitched together and his skin and fur started to grow back over the wound. The burning in his lungs had stopped and he let out deep sigh of relief, at least some of the torture would stop for him. Even though Jett had told him not to worry about her; there was nothing he could do to stop himself from worrying about his new mother. Jett's head snapped up as the door slid open with a loud hiss; the black and white she-kat stepped into the room followed by a few others that weren't nearly as decorated as she was.

"Get the boy out of the chair and restrain him." She ordered loudly.

The three females walked up to Cody; two placed their hands firmly against his shoulders to keep him in his seat, while the other she-kat walked behind him and unchained his hands. Cody felt the two she-kats pull him up out of his seat and stand him up in front of the second in command. His hands were once again bound behind his back once again; there was a low demonic rumble that came from his chest as he stood in front of her. The female stiffened a bit as she heard the low rumble from Cody; the soldiers who held his arms gripped him tighter.

"I wouldn't attack me if you want to see your mother severely punished for your moment of stupidity." She said aloud.

Cody looked to Jett who was sitting next to him quietly; she looked up at him her ears still perked up. His growl silenced quickly as he looked back at the female; and let out a loud huff of compliance. Cody wasn't about to risk an injury to his mom that would turn out to be worse than his, one of the three subordinate soldiers walked around him and put a large black fabric bag over his head.

"Hey!" Cody growled loudly as the females pushed him forward and out of the room.

The door hissed loudly as it slid closed and the lights turned off; Jett sat in the dark room quietly her red eyes glowing brightly in the dark. She sighed softly and tried to close her eyes for a bit; she didn't know how long they would be gone for and she needed all the rest she could get. Blu calmed a bit while she rested reserving the tiny bit of energy she had left in her body; the demon whimpered softly and it echoed through her mind.

"Please Blu just let me sleep for a while." There was an exhausted tone in Jett's voice as she pleaded with the demon for rest.

The whimpering stopped and Jett relaxed a bit in the chair and chains; her ears lay against her head and she licked the blood off her mouth. The snow leopard shuddered in the cold room; there was nothing to keep her company but the pounding of her own heart and Blu.

-Mega Kat City Docks-

T-bone tapped his foot impatiently against the old wood panels of the dock; it was almost 3:30 and nobody had shown up except for the Enforcers, the gold, Razor and himself. Nobody from Turmoil's end had made an appearance yet. He crossed his arms over his broad chest; Razor stood next to him silently, he leaned up against one of the old warehouses. T-bone wasn't sure how much more suspense he could take; everything had been fine and dandy till Turmoil showed up.

"Its 3:30 and they haven't shown up yet." Razor announced quietly.

T-bone looked down at him and sighed softly; as he was about to open his mouth to reply to his small friend a helicopter he recognized all too easily flew overhead. Razor looked up and sighed softly as he pushed himself away from the side of the warehouse; T-bone took a step forward as the chopper landed near the end of the dock. A few she-kats and one large blonde tabby stepped out of the chopper; two of them had their hands gripped tightly around his forearms as they lead him towards the exchange point. The five of them stopped a little over ten feet away from them; T-bone's knuckles cracked and popped as he clenched his fists tightly as they forced the dirty blonde darkly striped tabby down onto the wood.

"Did you bring the ten million in gold?" The black and white she-kat questioned.

Commander Felina Feral stepped up into sight of the female; she reached under a black tarp and pulled out a gold bar, it shined brightly even on a cloudy day. She slipped it back under the black tarp; the Enforcer commander stepped forward towards the much smaller group.

"And I see you brought one of the hostages." Felina commented lowly as she eyed the male sitting on the ground.

Cody's ears perked up; the black bag obscured his vision so he couldn't see what was going on around him. He couldn't tell if his father or if Jake was there; he could hear Commander Feral's female voice off in the distance. He sighed with relief as he heard a very familiar male voice speak up; his father was there and possibly Jake.

"What will happen to the other hostage?" T-bone growled loudly.

Cody shifted uneasily where he sat; curious and worried about what she would say about Jett, she was more than likely to lie through her teeth.

"She will be taken care of until we make another request is made by Commander Turmoil." The decorated female responded.

T-bone growled again; he's footsteps got closer when a female voice he didn't recognize spoke up.

"Wait a minute T-bone we don't want to put the hostage's life at risk." She said softly.

Cody's head turned in direction of the voice; he felt his body tighten suddenly and his demon stirred. Cody knew his demon wanted this female for whatever reason it was; he licked his lips in anticipation and his demon purred deeply in approval. What was wrong with him, he was gay into males not females; what was wrong with him. The black bag was pulled off his head suddenly and the bright light was blinding; he squeezed his eyes shut and turned his head down and blinked a few times getting his eyes used to the natural sunlight. He lifted his head up and looked around the dock; he saw Felina and her Enforcers standing off to the right with one very large block of gold bricks. To his left he saw his father in full swat kat gear and next to him stood the female he had heard earlier; she too was in swat kat gear. Her fur was a dark shade of brown like Razor, except she filled out the uniform in certain places. Her thick chocolate brown hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail; he felt his heart start pounding in his chest.

"Mine, I must have." Grendel growled loudly.

Cody swallowed the lump in his throat he looked to his father and one of his eye brows rose slightly; questioning who she was and why she was wearing the uniform. T-bone looked back at Cody seeing his eyebrow raise; then looked down at Razor who stood next to him quietly. He noticed that Razor's eyes were glued on Cody; he looked between the both of them unsure what to expect from Cody. He raised his chin slightly and smiled at him; he had a lot to tell him about what was happening to Jake. He wasn't sure how he would react to the news of Jake turning into a woman by the will of his demon.

"Now if you want the hostage; put the gold into the chopper quickly." The black and white calico ordered.

Felina looked around and pulled the tarp off the large pile of gold; the enforcer's moved around her quickly picking up the heavy bars and taking them to the chopper quickly. Cody watched as the gold was loaded into the chopper; the weight of the gold made the large helicopter sink down slightly as it was loaded up. As soon as the last of the gold was placed inside the dark red chopper; Turmoil's goons stood Cody up off the wood deck. They unchained his hands and pushed him forward as they backed up away from the meeting point; Cody looked back at them and walked forward. The Enforcers swarmed Cody quickly taking him to the sedans that were parked at the other end of the dock; T-bone and Razor watched quietly before they made their way back to the Turbokat. The deep crimson red chopper took off; and headed to the middle of the large storm that hovered over the city menacingly.

-Salvage yard-

Daski and Roland sat quietly in the living room of the salvage yard quietly; Jake and Chance hadn't been back for a few hours. Daski looked at Roland out of the corner of his eye quietly; the demon had relaxed since Jake had left with the blonde tabby that morning. He sat back into the old couch; he crossed his arms over his broad muscular chest, he wasn't interested in Jake or the female demon that resided in his body. Because his mate had died a long time ago; no, she hadn't been his true mate and he didn't think he would ever find her. His ears perked up as he heard the knob leading to the garage giggle and the door opened up; Jake and Chance walked into the living room chattering about some tom named Cody. Daski listened closely to them chatter about him, his ears twisted around honing into the conversation.

"He'll be a little surprised when he finds out it's you." Chance said loudly crossing his arms over his chest.

"I'm sure he will be." Jake replied his female voice soft.

"You both sound secretive." Daski added gruffly.

Chance and Jake looked over in his direction quietly; Chance's ears perked up slightly.

"We're not just worried about how Cody will react when ever Chance is allowed to bring him to the salvage yard." Jake responded.

Daski looked over the small curvy female quietly as he stood up off the couch; Jake looked up at him as he stood up, the male's bright blue and green eyes looked down at him.

"Well, when does Cody come back to the salvage yard?" Daski asked.

"We don't know the Enforcers have him." Chance replied as he leaned against the door frame.

Daski nodded slow looking over them both; he looked down at Roland who had stiffened up since Jake and stepped into the room. The black tom walked behind the couch and put his large paw on Roland's shoulder; the black, orange and white calico kat looked up at him quietly. The calico stood up silently looking down at Jake with smile; that edgy smile sent a shiver down Jake's delicate female spine.

"We'll be back, Roland and I have a few things to do before Cody gets back and Jett gets home." Daski announced loudly as he walked to the front door and opened it.

Roland walked towards the door quietly with his hands in his pockets; his spotted tail flickering about aggressively, the tom stepped out of the door and into the stormy weather. Daski walked out after Roland quietly; he pulled the door closed behind him, he ran his paw through his thick hair as he walked down the steps towards the red Ford. He opened the driver's side door and got in quietly; Roland sat beside him. The Calico's arm was stretched over the back of the seat his body was in the corner of the seat and door.

"Where are we going off to now Daski?" Roland spoke loudly his voice gruff.

Daski put the key into the ignition and gave it a quick jerk bringing the engine roaring to life; he looked to the tom sitting next to him and huffed a reply. Roland shrugged his shoulders as the truck jerked backwards as the burly black tom put the truck in reverse; as soon as the wheels hit the asphalt the truck took off in the opposite direction of the city.

"Daski the city is the other way." Roland commented as he looked to the older male.

"I know it is Roland but we don't need to be here for the next few days." Daski replied quietly as he leaned back in the padded seat.

"Why is that?" Roland questioned as he rubbed his chin.

"I'm sure Jetta wouldn't want us to interfere with Cody and Jake." Daski responded quietly.

Roland shrugged his broad shoulder and the cab grew unnaturally quiet as the two toms drove away from the city.
