Chapter Two: The Letter

Felina walked into the garage and up the stairs to hers and Chance's room. Jake watched her walk off. Jake turned around to look at Chance with a worried look.

"Everything is fine Jake." Chance told his friend as he got up from the chair.

"I don't know Chance, the lieutenant walking around her doing nothing. I mean come on she had to be doing something." Chance looked at his friend again. Jake was right she had to be doing something while they were gone.

-Up Stairs-

Felina walked into the bedroom and got out her cell phone. She texted her Uncle to see what he was doing. She was not going to tell her Uncle until one of them told her that they were the Swat Kats. Although she knew that they were. She sat her phone down on the bed and had a look around Chance's room. She looked in the dresser drawers and found nothing.

There was a trunk in the room at the foot of the bed. She went over to it and it was locked. She was about to give up until she remembered seeing a key in one of the drawers. Felina walked back over to the dresser drawer and opened it. She found the key and placed it into the lock. She turned the key and she could hear it unlock. Felina smiled to herself as she opened the trunk.

Felina moved some stuff around. She found some papers, and some other things that did not make any sense to keep. She picked up a letter and flipped it over, and saw that it was for her. Just then her phone went off. She knew that it was her Uncle. She was going to write him back but, first she had to read the letter. She sat down on the bed and opened the letter. She read to herself.

Sweet Felina

I have and will always love you. I had first fallen for you when I first saw you. Every time I look into your eyes I see love and hope. You are what I live for. You are the reason why I get out of bed in the mornings. You are everything to me. I just wanted you to know that you are everything to someone even if they are below you. I love you and one day I hope you will love me in return.

With Love Chance Furlong a.k.a T-Bone

Felina could feel the tears run down her cheeks. She then hears someone coming up the stairs. She moved quickly to put everything back like it was before. She sat back down on the bed and read the text from her Uncle. It read *Doing paperwork* Just then the door opened and Chance walked in. He looked over toward Felina and he could see that she had been crying.

"Felina what's wrong, why have you been crying?" She looked at Chance and smiled.

"Uncle just told me something great." Felina lied to him again.

Chance walked over to the dresser and got out a shirt. He took off the one he was wearing. Felina could not believe what she saw. There were scars on his chest and stomach and on his back. She wanted to ask him where he had gotten them from, but could not. Chance pulled the new shirt on. He looked over at the trunk and saw the key in the lock. His eyes widen with fear. Felina looked down and saw the key. Chance walked over and opened the trunk. He could see that someone 'Felina' had went throw it. Chance narrowed his eyes at her.

"I'm so sorry. I guess that my curiosity got the best of me."

"You are to never to look inside this ever again!" Chance yelled at her. Then he saw the letter under her leg. His eyes with widen once again in fear.

"You read the letter?" He asked her as she moved her leg and picked it up. She handed it to him. Chance took it slowly.

"The letter is what made me cry." She told him while looking into his eyes. Chance looked down at the floor. He didn't know what to say. Then his eyes widened again. 'I put T-Bone on there that means that she knows.' Chance thought to himself.

"I'm not going to tell my Uncle if that is what you're thinking." Felina said while placing her paw on his shoulder.

"I have one question. Why did you say that you are below me?" Chance looked up at the she-kat, and then looked away toward the window.

"Because I am below you in the social ring. You are on the top and I'm way below you. Your family would never like the idea of you dating a mechanic." Chance looked at back at her with sadden eyes. Felina got down on the floor and took his paws into hers.

"Chance I don't care if you are mechanic or a king I would love you no matter what." Felina leaned in and kissed Chance on the lips. Chance looked at her and closed his eyes and kissed her back. Felina ended the kiss and looked at Chance. Chance looked at her and then looked away. Felina had a sad look on her face.

"I'm sorry; I shouldn't have done that…"

"No it's ok. I just don't want to be hurt again. Last time it hurt very badly." Felina watched as Chance stood up. Chance held out his paw and help her up.

"What happened?" Felina asked and saw his face sadden even more.

"She was killed in front of me." Felina placed her paw over her mouth. She didn't think that is what happened.

"Did they…"

"No they never caught the guy." Chance said quickly.

"We should go back down stairs before Jake starts too worried." Chance chuckled. Felina nodded her head. Chance put the letter on the bed and Felina picked up her phone.

They walked out of the room and down the stairs. Jake watched the two walked into the kitchen. He could see that something had happened between the two. Felina sat down at the table as Chance walked over to the refrigerator and opened it. He got out a water and opened it.

"She knows that we are the Swat Kats." Chance said as Jake took a drink of his coffee. Jake chocked on the coffee and looked up at his friend. Felina looked up at Chance. Jake looked at Felina and set down his cup.

"What do you mean she knows?" Jake yelled out.

"She found the hanger." Felina looked up at him.

"How did you know about that?" Chance took a drink of his water and look at her.

"Video." Felina looked away 'I should have know that they would have video cameras.' She thought to herself. She looked over at Jake and smiled. Jake did not smile back. He looked over at Chance who had sat down at the table.

"What if she tells Feral? You going to tell him?" Jake asked her. Felina looked at him and shook her head no.

"She will not tell."

"How do you know that Chance" Jake asked his friend. Chance looked at him and smiled.

Later that night Chance and Felina were in Chance's bedroom. They were getting ready for bed. Felina was in the bed looking threw her phone. She looked up in time to see Chance take his shirt off. She could not help herself. She had to ask him.

"Where did you get those scars?" Chance looked at her and then looked down.

"I had a rough past." He said as he walked to the bed.

"So you are not going to tell me?" Felina asked him. Chance shook his head no. Chance got into the bed and rolled over onto his right side. Felina put her phone on the side table and laid down onto her left side.

"Felina." Chance said in a low voice.

"Yea?" She answered him.

"I'll tell you what happened to me in time. It's just hard to talk about." Felina rolled over to look at him. Chance did the same.

"I'm sorry; I should have known that it would be hard to talk about." Chance smiled which made Felina smile.

"But I will tell you that I got some of them from training." Felina tilted her head.

"What kind of training were you doing?" She asked him. Chance smiled at her.

"Okay how do you know how to use the bow?" She asked him.

"I learned how to use one when I was in the woods by myself for a year. Then I learned how to street fight when I was living on the streets for a year." Felina looked at him with her mouth open.

"You were in the woods for a year and then a year on the streets. Where was your parents!?" Felina asked while setting up in the bed. Chance looked at her and smiled even wider.

"I don't know I didn't have parents at the time." Chance said setting up in the bed as well.

"What do you mean you did not have any parents at the time?"

"I was an orphan at the time. See I was found on the Eastside Bridge and was placed in an orphanage. I jumped from home to home, place to place. I was adopted by Mrs. Furlong at the age of sixteen." Felina was floored at what she was just told.

"Please Felina don't tell Jake, he doesn't know that was an orphan. I'll tell him in time." Chance asked her. Felina nodded her head.

"Wow, wait so how old were you when you were in the woods and the city?"

"I was fourteen and then I was fifteen." Felina looked at him with wide eyes.

"You were fourteen and fifteen at time!" Felina kind of yelled out.

"Yea I was. And I got the scar while training in the woods and got a few from street fighting. I got some from my masters and some from fighting." Chance realized what he had just told her. Felina looked at him and smile.

"Well thank you for telling me where you got them at." She giggled. Chance could feel his face get red which made Felina giggle again.
