Chapter eleven: New House
-At the Garage-
Chance was at the garage alone today. Jake was spending some time with Callie. Chance was under a car when he heard someone walk up to him. Chance thought it was Jake until a boot was under the bar of the creeper and pulled him out. Chance was shocked at who was in front of him. It was his father Duke.
"Father what are you doing here?" He asked.
"I have something to show you. So get up and clean up and you are coming with me." He told his son. Chance got off of the creeper and went to clean up some.
-In the Car-
Chance was in the back of the car with his father. Chance looked at the driver and then at his father. He didn't know what to think. He was not use to being in the back. In fact he was not use to someone waiting on him or opened the door for him.
"What's wrong son?" Duke asked looking over his son.
"I'm uncomfortable with the whole being rich thing. I have always worked for everything that I have." Chance said to his father. Duke looked away and smiled.
"Son, you better get use to it. I am giving you a million dollars for you and my new daughter." Chance looked over at his father.
"No father I am not going to take your money."
"You have no chose. I have already put it in your bank account." Duke said with a smile. Chance narrowed his eyes at his father.
"Don't give me that look son. You and Felina will need it for your futures, and for when you two have children." Chance thought about it for a while and knew that his father was right.
The car pulled up to a lager house. The driver got out and let Duke and then Chance out. Chance got out of the car and looked up at the house. Chance was about to say so something when the front door opened and Marcellus walked out. He walked over to the two toms and stopped in front of them.
"What is going on here? Whose house is this?" Chance asked both toms.
"This is yours and Felina's. We bought it for you two." Duke said Chance looked at him and then at Marcellus. Chance looked at the house then at the two toms again.
"Why would you do that?" Chance asked
"Because you and Felina need a home, I mean you cannot stay there at the garage." Duke told his son.
"But father I, I mean Jake and I have to stay there. We have a debt to pay off." Chance said while looking at his father and then at the house.
"I know that. That is why I am paying the debt off for you." Duke said with a smile. Chance looked at his father.
"No Jake and I have to pay off the debt ourselves." Chance said in a strong voice.
"He already paid it off." Marcellus said making both toms look at him. Duke had a why did you tell him that kind of look. While Chance had a pissed off and shock kind of look.
"You WHAT!?" Chance yelled looking back at his father.
"I paid Feral the money. He said that you and Jake were very close to paying it off. So I paid off the rest."
"How much did you pay?" Chance asked him.
"About twenty thousand." Duke said in a low voice.
"WHAT!" Chance yelled again.
"Now now son, I was just wanted to help you two out, and Feral said that you two would have paid that off in three years anyway." Duke said while smiling at his son. Chance looked at his father. Marcellus could see Chance's paws were shacking. 'Wow he must really be mad.' He thought to himself.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!" Chance yelled again.
"CHANCE!" Chance looked over toward Marcellus.
"That is enough; your father did that to help you and Jake out. And besides you two were going to pay it off in three years anyway." Chance was about to say something when Marcellus looked at him with an evil look. Chance shut up real quick. Duke looked at the two with an odd look. 'He did he do that?' he thought to himself.
"Now that we have all calmed down, how about we go into the house and look around." Marcellus said and started to walk off. Chance was about to follow Marcellus when Duke grabbed his arm.
"Why did you…?"
"Would you really want to piss him off." Chance said and walked off. Duke thought about it for a minute and he shook his head.
-Back at the Garage-
The driver let Chance out of the car. Jake walked out of the garage and meet Chance near the car. Duke said goodbye to his son for now and would see him the new house later. Jake looked at Chance with an odd look.
"What did he mean by the house?" Jake asked. Chance turned and walked back into the house/garage.
"Father and Marcellus bought me and Felina a house and father paid off our debt." Jake stopped walking and looked at Chance.
"Really so you mean that we our free from the debt." Jake asked running after Chance.
"Yes we are." Chance said in a pissed off kind of way.
"If your father paid off the debt then why are you so mad?" Jake asked his friend.
"I mad because my father paid off the debt!" Chance yelled. Jake looked at him and narrowed his eyes. Chance looked at Jake and explained.
"We were supposed to pay off the debt together. Just me and you, and now that my father has paid it off. We can't be the SWAT Kats." Jake got what Chance was trying to tell him.
"Chance we will find a way to be the SWAT Kats."
"Really Jake and how are we supposed to do that?" Chance asked turning and looking at his friend.
"I don't know but we will come up with something." Jake smiled at his friend. Chance looked away. Just then his cell phone began to ring. Chance got his phone out of his pocket and looked to see was calling him. It was Marcellus.
"Yes…okay but why?" Jake heard Chance ask.
"Okay we will." Chance hung up and looked at Jake with an odd look.
"What?" Jake asked.
"Marcellus wants us to fly the Turbokat over the new house." Jake looked at Chance with an odd look. The two went down to the hanger and got dressed. They got into the jet and left. Chance flew the jet over the house. Jake looked at the house from above.
"Wow Chance this place is huge." Chance looked at the house.
"I know that it is a good house but still they didn't have to do it." Just then they both look down and saw the ground open up.
"What is that?" Jake asked.
"It's your new hanger." Said Marcellus over the radio.
"What?" Chance asked.
"Just fly the damn thing in!" Marcellus yelled. Chance did as told and flew the jet in the whole and though the tunnel. He stopped on a platform and it rose up from the ground. The platform stopped and they opened the canopy of the jet. The two got out and looked around.
The place was huge! It was so much bigger than the one back home. They saw Marcellus standing by one of many computers that were down in their new hanger. Chance walked over to Marcellus and Jake walked over to the new computers.
"This place is amazing." Chance said looking at his father-in-law.
"I thought that you two would need a new hanger now that you are going to be living here." Jake looked at the two tom.
"Wait what about me?" Jake asked walking over to the two.
"What about what Jake?" Marcellus asked.
"How are Chance and I going to become the SWAT Kats if he is here and I'm at the garage?" Both toms smiled at him.
"Jake you are moving in with me and Felina." Chance said. Jake looked at him with an odd look.
"There are two sweets in the house as well as eight bedrooms." Marcellus told him.
"No I cannot live with you and Felina." Jake said holding up his paws in front of him.
"Why not?" Chance asked.
"Come on Chance you and Felina would want to be alone and I will just get in the way."
"No you are part of the family and Felina and I talked about it and you are going to live with us for as long as you want to." Chance said. Jake look at him with a smile on his face.
"Well do you two want to look around?" Marcellus asked.
"Yes." They both said at the same time.
-Back at the Garage-
Felina was setting down at the kitchen table when she heard the jet fly over. 'What are they doing out? Nothing happened today that they would need to be out. Maybe they were testing something.' She thought to herself. Felina got up to go and meet them.
Chance walked over to Felina while Jake closed the hatch. Chance kissed Felina on the lips and hugged her. Jake walked by them and into the kitchen. He knew when Chance told Felina about the house that she was not going to be happy.
"They what?" She kind of yelled.
"Yea the bought us a house."
"But why?"
"They said that we needed a house. Oh did I tell you that my father paid off mine and Jake's debt." Felina looked at her husband with wide eyes.
"He did? Well isn't that kinda a good thing?" She asked.
"Well kinda but still I wish that he didn't."
"Well we can go and look at the house tomorrow." Felina walked into the kitchen. Chance followed her and took a set at table.
-The next morning-
Then next morning Felina had the day off and all three went to look at the house. When they saw it Felina could not believe how big it was. The house was a McMansion tan with a brown roof. She had to give it to her father and father-in-law they had good taste. They walked through the door and looked around. They looked downstairs and then upstairs. Chance and Felina looked at their room and could not believe how big it was. Jake looked at what would be his room and liked what he saw. After looking at the inside they went out to look at the garden. Felina was happy to see that it was a Roman style garden. When Felina smiled at the garden Chance smiled at her. He was happy that she was happy.
