Riuko: I apologize for the terrible chapter that I just replaced. It sucked. I was in such a rush to update before tour, that I did some stupid stuff. I'm sorry. I apologize to everyone who read it. Thank you chocolateluvr13 for bringing the worst stuff to my attention. This will begin like the other chapter, but it will be better I promise. By the way, White Dove Ch. 1 is now up. White Dove was the prototype to White Cat, but my friend liked Dove better, so I decided to start posting it. Also, sorry if I take a while to update. There are some problems with my health, so I won't get into it now, but it'll take a while.
Caress: Shut up and get on with it.
Riuko: I do not own Black Cat. Also, I am very busy with gigs, college visits, taking care of a friend's giant dog, watching my health, and chores. So once again, patience please.
Train POV
I saw Sven pick up the phone and sift through a stack of phone numbers. All the while, he was muttering something about a person who had too many phone numbers. I slapped him on the back and grinned.
"What'cha doin Sven?" Sven growled and glared at me.
"I'm looking for a phone number," he muttered.
"Who's?"
"Rins'." I took a step back.
"Am I going crazy, or are you calling Rinslet?"
"I'm calling Rinslet," he replied. "I have a feeling Caress is keeping quite a bit of info from us and I want to see what Rins can dig up. Aha! Found it!" Then he started pressing buttons on the phone. I had a nagging feeling this was not going to end well.
I walked into the main room of our safehouse and found Caress rubbing at her back.
"Damn this hurts!" She snapped. Then she looked up at me. "This is your fault."
"What? What'd I do?" I yelled.
"You just had to use me as bait, didn't you," she snapped. She turned to face me and yelped, cringing at some sort of pain.
"If you need a band-aid, just ask."
"I don't need a f*cking band-aid! I need new skin on my back!" Eve entered the room and stood behind Caress.
"Let me see." Caress removed her hand from her back and Eve pulled down the collar of Caress' shirt to show a bit of her back. For a moment, I thought I saw Eve cringe.
"C'mon, she didn't hit the wall that hard, did she?" I asked. Eve just looked at me.
"See for yourself," she replied. I walked over and almost cringed myself. Five large bruises covered Caress' back, a line of deep gashes running through them.
"It doesn't look like she only hit a wall." I looked at Caress with a questioning look.
"Alright fine! The guy had a knife and he managed to get it behind me before he shoved me into the wall. It was serrated, that's why there are multiple wounds instead of one." Caress slumped forward, forcing Eve to release the collar of her shirt.
"I'll get Sven," Eve stated.
"You'll have to do it in a few more minutes, he's on the phone with Rins," I replied.
"Who's Rins?" Caress asked.
"She's an informant of ours," I lied. Eve gave me what looked like a glare, but I ignored it.
Caress POV
"I am not being bait ever ever again," I muttered. Eve walked around the couch and sat beside me.
"When I was bait, I thought I could handle it, but I couldn't. I almost got killed. Sven saved me. He won't let you die either, secrets or not." I smiled at Eve.
"Thanks," I replied. "I'll keep that in mind." I looked over at the clock. '11:00, joy. No wonder I'm exhausted.' I stood up slowly, trying to minimalize the pain. "I'm going to bed," I stated. "You should turn in soon too Eve." Eve merely nodded and watched me walk up the stairs.
Train POV
"Done yet," I asked as I sat down backwards in a chair. Sven nodded and groaned. "Well, what'd Rins say," I asked before perching my head on the back of the chair.
"She's coming tomorrow," Sven stated.
"What?"
"I know, but she insisted on it, and you know how that woman can get," Sven replied, taking a seat and lighting a cigarette.
"Something tells me this isn't going to go over well," I muttered. "There's no telling how Caress will act with Rins, especially since she's already pissed."
"Wh-Why?"
"Green managed to get out a knife and cut up her back when he shoved her into the wall," I replied, rocking on the legs of the chair.
"Oh geez." Sven pulled down his hat. "We're screwed aren't we?"
"Not until tomorrow. Caress just went to bed." There was a slight pause.
"Do you think Rinslet will be able to tell us anything we don't already know?" I asked.
"I hope so, 'cause if not, we're still at square one."
Riuko: Finally! Rins will come in next chapter, so enjoy! R&R!
