David will learn that the mothers of the girls who were tormented under his so-called care have very sharp teeth and claws.
Plus the two teenagers get measured for their new prosthetics. However, as simple as the procedure is, what occurs solidifies their relationship, quite spectacularly.
Paul, Tom, and Eduardo sat at the Prosecutor's table. Each had their notes and citations sitting neatly in front of them. Paul was wearing a Tan Tweed Suit, while Tom was wearing a dark blue suit, and Eduardo wearing a bright yellow suit, letting his Latin heritage show.
In the two rows behind them, sat Artemis, Roland, and Callista. Roland had his left paw wrapped tightly around Artemis' with no intention of letting it go.
Artemis turned to her right to face Roland, and asked, "Do I look alright?" In attempt to hide her nervousness.
Roland rolled his eyes, since he had answered the same question from her, quite a few times already that day, and said, "You look gorgeous, Artemis. The light blue suit Callista lent you looks amazing on you." He brought up her paws to kiss them, and said, "Its only a Plea Hearing. You don't have to testify or face him."
She breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I guess you're right. I really don't have anything to be nervous about."
David entered the courtroom, wearing an expensive three-piece suit. He was followed by a lawyer, who was dressed in a suit that was ancient.
As David approached, he noticed Artemis, or in his case, Angel sitting to the left of Callista. As much as. He wanted to attempt to woo Callista to his side, he knew he had more pressing matters to deal with. He stopped at the end of the row, turned to his right, and said, "Pleasure seeing you again, Angel."
David's voice attracted Eduardo. He instantly rose from his seat, went over to them, and said, "Sir, you're not supposed to be addressing the witnesses, period. Please take your seat at the Defendant's table."
He turned towards Eduardo, and said, "Mr. Valdez, I presume. I was only going to wish her a good day, and nothing more."
"Now you have. Take your seat so we might get these proceedings started," Eduardo said.
"Very well," David said. He turned to Artemis, and said, "We will be seeing each other again, very soon." And went to take his seat.
Eduardo made sure David was seated before he turned to Artemis, and said, "You will not be seeing him, anytime soon if my team has anything to say about it."
Artemis looked into her adoptive father's eyes, and responded, "Si, pater (father)."
Hearing Artemis speak in Latin warmed his heart. He thought, 'She could have been our daughter. However, she is now part of my family and I'll be damned if I'm going to let a Slime Ball like David anywhere near her!' "I need to get back. Camille will be here soon." He returned to his seat.
The Bailiff entered the courtroom and commanded, "All rise! The honorable Judge Carrol presiding."
David felt a bout of nauseousness wash over him as soon as Judge Carrol's name was said since he bribed his way into having Judge Carrol replaced with Judge Petersen.
Judge Carrol entered the courtroom wearing the standard robe over a white shirt and black tie. He took his seat behind the dais and smiled at Eduardo and his team, then turned to David and his lawyer, and said, "Shall we get things going?" he opened the case folder in front of him, and said, "Will the Defendant rise."
David rose from his seat and waited to be addressed.
Judge Carrol glanced over the charges one last time, then asked, "On the Counts of Kidnapping, how do you plea?"
"Not Guilty, your honor," David Replied.
Judge Carrol made a note in his file, then asked, "On the Counts of Endangering a Minor, how do you plea?"
"Not Guilty, your honor," David replied.
Another note taken, then Judge Carrol asked, "On the Count of Conspiracy to Manslaughter, how do you plea?"
"Not Guilty, your honor," David replied.
Another note taken. But this time as he read the charge, a scowl crossed the judge's face. He faced David, deadpanned, and asked, "On the Multiple Counts of Sexual Abuse of a Minor, how do you plea?"
"Not Guilty, your honor," David replied.
The judge took the final note of the plea, then addressed the Defense, "A plea of Not Guilty on all charges has been entered. I'm remanding you to County Corrections for the remainder of the trial."
The Defense Attorney rose and said, "I object!"
"On what grounds, Councilor?" Judge Carrol asked.
"My client is not a Flight risk, nor does he have anywhere to go," The Defense Attorney said.
Judge Carroll face the Prosecution, and asked, "Do any of you have any Counter Objections to the Defense?"
Eduardo rose, straightened his suit, then asked, "May I have a Side Bar with my Colleagues?"
"You may," Judge Carrol answered.
The Prosecution huddled around each other. Each one making aggressive paw movements but with hushed tones. This went on for a few minutes, then Eduardo faced Judge, and said, "We won't deny the Defendant's Rights. However, we believe the charges brought against the Defendant warrant a guarantee the Defendant will appear."
"Very well. The Defendant shall be placed under House Arrest, fully supervised by the Enforcers. Does the Defense have any objections?" Judge Carrol asked.
"None, your honor," The Defense Attorney Replied.
Judge Carrol made note of the lack of objection in the file, then said, "The Defendant shall wear a Tracking Collar at all times and may not leave his premises for any reason. If my ruling is violated, the Defendant will be placed in custody of County Corrections for the remainder of the trial. Proceedings will continue in three weeks from today. Court adjourned!" He then hammered the gavel to the bench, signaling the adjournment.
Camille entered the Courtroom just as the Adjournment was announced. She found Artemis, Callista, and Roland on the right side of the Courtroom, still seated with Roland's left arm around Artemis' shoulders. Then, she spotted David, getting a Tracking Collar attached to his left ankle. Her blood began boil the longer she saw the tom who caused Artemis all those years of pain and agony. She wanted to inflict the same amount of pain on him, he caused her family, and that was exactly what she was going to do. She waited for him to start exiting the Courtroom before she made her move.
David had his collar fitted around his ankle and secured. He started walking out of the Courtroom when he was confronted by an obvious Latin, she-cat, wearing a very form fitting dress and had shoulder length curly black hair. He really liked the way her dress formed around her curvy body. He lightly smiled, and asked, "Can I help you with something? Maybe you would like to return to my abode for a drink?"
"You definitely can help me with something," Camille said. Right before she let her right fist fly into David's left cheek, sending him to the ground. She pounced on top of him, straddling his stomach with her right paw held high and her claws out. "Quomodo me transire audes, postquam filiae meae nunc fecisti? Curis tempus servem et unguibus pellem vivam meis! (How dare you make a pass at me, after what you did to my now daughter! I should save the Courts time and skin you alive with my own claws!)"
Roland and Eduardo reached Camille before she could act further, removing her from David and holding her back.
She fought back with everything she had, saying, "That tom deserves to feel the wrath of a very livid mother for what he did to al those girls! And I'm just the she-cat to do it! Let me go and I'll make sure he feels the anguish everyone of his victims felt!"
Eduardo managed to secure both of her arms behind her back with his, and said, "Justice will be served, but not by me or you! We both love and adore Artemis, Camille and I prefer we continue to do so, on this side of Prison Bars!"
"Mrs. Valdez. I may not know you as well as I should, which I need to rectify. However, I do know you are a very kind and compassionate she-cat. All your students seem to love you and love being taught by you. Artemis couldn't dream up a better mother. Plus, I as well as several toms in the dojo, really like watching you cut loose when you think there is no one else round. And I think Mitch has a crush on you." Roland said.
Camille stopped fighting her husband, faced Roland, and asked, "What? I'm almost twice his age. What makes you think he has a crush on me?"
"Have you seen the way he looks at you? His tongue is almost hanging out of his mouth, the longer he stares at you while you are dancing." Roland answers.
Camille let out a laugh, and said, "Guess I still can turn the heads of younger toms."
"You most certainly can, Mrs. Valdez," Roland said. Followed by, "You certainly are as beautiful as my soon to be wife."
She went over to Roland, gave him a quick kiss, and said, "Save that Silver Tongue for Artemis, Roland. I don't want to hear you are turning on the charm for every she-cat in the city."
"Never happen, Mrs. Valdez. I'm completely devoted to Artemis," Roland said.
"As he should be," Artemis said. She was standing at the end of the row of seats with her paws on her hips and her tail lazily swaying.
Roland walked the short distance to Artemis, placed his paws on her hips, and said, "My heart, body, and mind are completely yours, and yours alone. I will never be swayed by another she-cat, even if she looks like Camille or Callista."
Artemis scowled, then said, "I believe, you and I are going to have a long conversation as to why you should not be complementing my mother and friend on their looks in front of me, Roland." She grabbed ahold of his shirt and dragged him out of the Courtroom.
David got up from the floor, dusted off his suit, and demanded, "I want her arrested and locked up!"
Judge Carrol was already standing by Eduardo and asked, "On what charges?"
David faced the judge, and answered, "Assault for one."
"Since she did hit you, in my Courtroom, I have no choice," Judge Carrol said. He turned to two of the Bailiffs, and said, "Arrest Mrs. Valdez on the single charge of Assault."
"If I'm going to be arrested, might as well make it for something worthwhile," Camille said as she strode over to David. She stood in front of him, then said, "This is for all the girls, you have tortured over the years." She forcefully brought her right knee to his crotch, sending him back to the floor.
As the two bailiffs secured her paws, Eduardo quickly kissed her, then said, "I'll have to freed soon, my dear."
She kissed him back, and said, "Whatever time I spend, it will be worth it, Eduardo."
Yi and Li were finishing setting up a trailer outside of MegaKat General which held a machine to take the detailed measurements of Iris and Roy's bodies for the fabrication of the two new prosthetic limbs. Despite their father's wishes to be dressed conservatively, each one wore a pair of jean shorts, black tights, and a cropped t-shirt.
Roy wheeled Iris out of the hospital's Front doors and over to a large trailer with Claw-Tek's logo emblazoned on the front and both sides. They were both dressed very comfortably with Iris in a pair of gray cotton shorts and a gray t-shirt while Roy wore a pair of gray sweatpants and a sleeveless shirt. He parked Iris' wheelchair in front of a set of retractable stairs, kissed her, went up the stairs, and knocked on the door.
Yi finished firing up the Imaging computer when she heard the knock. She left the station and went over to the door. And with a swift turn on the release with her right paw, she pushed open the door to see a younger, but decently built tom wearing sweatpants and a sleeveless shirt. She almost let out a purr, but instead, she said, "Mr. Warrens and Miss Murphy. Please come in."
As Yi opened the door wider, Roy descended the stairs to carry Iris back up the stairs. He crouched down, swept his right forearm under her thighs, while his prosthetic arm supported her upper back.
Roy looked down to Iris, and said, "One day, I'm going to be carrying you like this, for a different reason."
Iris instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, and asked, "Roy, isn't it way too soon to be thinking about things like marriage?"
Roy started climbing the stairs and answered, "Yes, its too soon for us to be thinking about marriage. But not too soon to be thinking about carrying you off of the Dance Floor. Will you go to the Senior Prom with me?"
"Of course I will go to the Prom with you, Roy," Iris answered.
He reached the top of the stairs and entered the trailer. What they both saw was a large Control Desk with multiple keyboards and mice stretched across the surface, one large monitor placed in the center of the wall just above the desk, which was flanked by several smaller monitors. In front of the desk were three black fabric office chairs.
Li was sitting in the chair on the far left, entering in the Start up codes for the scanner. She looks to the right to the two teens, and asks, "Who wants to go first?"
Roy looked down to Iris, and asked, "Want to go first?"
"Sure," she responded.
"Mr. Warrens, since you have Miss Murphy in an interesting position, please bring her through the door on the left and place her on the table, with her head facing the scanner," Li said.
Both teens blushed for a second, before Roy carried Iris into the other room.
In there was a large circular scanner with a table directly in front of it. The scanner was emitting several clicks and beeps as it sat idle.
Roy gently placed Iris down on the table and started to leave, when they heard, "Give her a pair of Ear Plugs before you leave. They are in the container on the far wall," Yi said through a set of speakers.
Roy went over to the wall with a clear plastic container, full of individually wrapped colorful foam Ear Plugs. He reached in with his right paw and withdrew one set. As he brought them over to Iris, he opened the package. He presented the open package of Ear Plugs to Iris, and said, "Not what I wanted to give you as a first gift, but I guess they will have to do."
She took the Ear Plugs from him, and said, "They will. Thanks, lover." She slipped them in hear ears and laid down on her back.
Roy gave her a quick kiss, then existed the room. He closed the door behind him and started walking to the Control Desk.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Warrens and we can get started.," Li said as she moved a small joystick, which moved the table Iris was laying on, positioning Iris's head barely into the scanner.
Roy sat in the chair towards the back of the room, watching as the large monitor started showing a detailed gray scale image of the tips of Iris' ears.
Yi and Li pressed a few more buttons on the console, enabling the scanner to run in Full-Automatic, which will allow the scanner to position the patient according to its needs.
Inside the Examination Room, the noises the scanner was emitting grew louder, and if it wasn't for the Ear Plugs, the noises could have damaged Iris' ears. Then the table she was laying on started inching forward, bringing more and more of her body into the machine.
On the other side of the wall, Yi, Li, and Roy watched as Iris' body's measurements were being displayed and recorded on one of the smaller monitors, while more and more of her body was being rendered on the large one. At first a very detailed rendering of her head was shown, followed by her shoulders and chest, which made Roy's eyes bulge.
Li turned her chair around to face Roy, and said, "Turn around, now, Mr. Warrens. I highly doubt your girlfriend wants to to see her body, this intimately yet."
Roy spun his chair to the left and faced the opposite wall.
"Good boy," Li said, before she faced the Controls again.
The scanner continued to measure Iris' body and create the rendering, where the measurements will be transposed onto. It progressed to her stomach and her waist. To the two sisters, the image on the screen was an exact copy of Iris' body, although completely bare. The scanner moved onto her hips and thighs. Yi pushed a few buttons to slow the machine down so it could take even more detailed measurements of her body. However, with the scanner measuring her body down to a Macro-meter, the screen churning out the measurements was flooded with data and the rendering became more detailed to where the observer could almost see the follicles in her fur.
Curiosity got the better of Roy to the point he turned around to look at the screens. Unfortunately for him, the image showed Iris' very bare body to him, which caused his body to react. He glanced down at his lower half, and quickly brought his paws to the apex of his thighs to hide the growing problem between his legs.
The scanner finished measuring Iris' body and fell back to idle. Then the table slid Iris out of the scanner and Li pushed a button on the console, turning on a microphone, and said, "All done. You can get up, Miss Murphy." She tuned around to see Roy, looking like a kitten who got caught with his paw in the Cookie Jar. "You peeked, didn't you?" She asked.
Roy was embarrassed that he was caught. He tried to hide his embarrassment by turning his head to the left, away from the large screen still showing Iris in all her glory, and said, "No, not really."
Both sisters looked at the way his paws were trying to hide his crotch, then they both said at the same time, "Right." Followed by Li saying, "Go help your girlfriend into your chair, then its your turn to get measured."
Roy got up from his seat and went into the Examination Room.
Iris was already sitting up and removing the Ear Plugs from her ears as Roy approached her.
"How was it?" He asked, extending his prosthetic paw to her to help her off the table.
"Not bad. Kind of freaky as you are being inserted into a giant donut, making all sorts of noises though," she answered as she took his paw.
Roy swept her into his arms and carried her back to the Control Room, Where Iris got to see the rendering of her body on the large screen for the first time. "Do I really look like that?" Iris asked.
Yi finished saving all the data from the scan, cleared the screens, and answered, "The render is an exact copy of your body, Miss Murphy. From the tips of your ears to the soles of your feet. To answer your question, yes, you look just like that."
Iris never expected to see herself, in such detail on a screen, completely naked. Nor did she want to see it again. She was quite embarrassed, and asked, "Who is going to be seeing that image?"
"Other than the doctors and us two, no one else will see the full rendering. The Mechanical Engineers will only be able to see the leg renders and measurements," Yi answered. "Mr. Warrens, your turn."
Roy placed Iris in the chair he one occupied, quickly kissed her, and returned to the Examination Room.
Once the door was closed, Yi turned around to face Iris, and said, "Your Boyfriend is completely enamored with you."
"Thank you. I'm as devoted to him as he is to me," Iris said.
"Welcome. He was embarrassed to see your body's rendering on the screen. However, he didn't see too much. Now that its his turn to be scanned, you will be able to see all those muscles he's been hiding under those clothes. Just watch," Yi said, as she turned around to start up the scanner again.
Roy slipped a fresh pair Ear Plugs into his ears and laid down on the table, just as Iris had done and waited for the scan to start.
Just Ike before, the table moved on its own, positioning Roy's head into the scanner with just the tips of his ears entering the scanner.
Li pressed a few buttons on the console, starting the measuring procedure.
The scanner made a few loud noises as Roy started inching into the scanner
Iris watched as the rendering of her boyfriend started materializing on the screen. She smiled at the familiar face of the tom she loved. His neck was next to be shown. Then Li pressed a few buttons, slowing the scanner down to allow the more detailed measurements to be recorded.
Roy's upper body slowly entered the scanner, which very accurately the scanner rendered on the large monitor, it churned out pages after pages of measurements on one of the smaller screens.
Iris wasn't paying attention to anything but what was being displayed on the large monitor. The rendering now showed, Roy's broad shoulders, large chest with nickel sized nipples, his well-developed right bicep and tricep muscles, and the beginning of his left prosthetic arm. The scanners started to render the rest of Roy's upper body, which caused Iris to almost start to drool. On the large monitor, was a completely naked rendering of Roy, all the way to the beginning of his hips. She knew he was built, but to see him, completely shirtless with his muscular upper body, which she has felt through his clothes a few times before, was making her start to wonder what all those muscles would feel like, without his shirt.
"Not a bad specimen of how a tom should be," Yi said. "But we are about to get to the good part."
Iris was't sure what Yi was referring to, until the rendering started showing where his paws laid and a quite a decent sized bulge between his thighs.
Iris couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing. She's seen the male anatomy in her Biology Text books, but nothing like what the rendering showed on the screen. The Textbooks made that part look cartoonish, while the rendering appeared very lifelike. "Is it ok for me to be seeing this?" She asked.
Yi and Li either didn't hear Iris or they didn't care. They were focused on the naked tom's body being rendered. "Quite an impressive package he's got," Li said.
Iris heard her complimenting Roy's anatomy, then she let out a fierce; possessive growl leave her mouth. "He's mine, ladies! Stop ogling my boyfriend and finish your jobs!"
Yi and Li turned around to see Iris staring back at them with a very angry snarl on her face, her teeth were exposed, as well as her claws. "Yes, Miss Murphy," they said in tandem and finished the scan.
Roy's scan was finally completed, and Iris stood from her chair. She limped her way to the door separating the Exam Room from the Control Room and opened the door with enough force, the door slammed against the wall.
Roy didn't hear the door opening, or Iris entering the room. However, as soon as he removed the Ear Plugs from his ears, he felt a pair of feminine paws lightly slap on his cheeks, then a pair of lips kissing him.
Iris staked her claim on Roy, with the way she passionately kissed him, and then placing her paws under his shirt to feel his hard pecs and his rapidly increasing heartbeat. But before things got too heated, she ordered, "I want those cameras turned off, now!"
Yi didn't want to be on the wrong end of Iris' claws and teeth at all. She quickly turned off the cameras in the Exam Room, making a few of the monitors go black.
Iris resumed kissing Roy, letting her paws examine his upper body under his shirt. She withdrew from the aggressive kiss long enough to proclaim, "No one, other than me gets to see you naked again, Roy. You're mine, and mine alone!" She slammed her lips back to his. But this time when he went to take a breath, she slipped her tongue into his mouth and her right paw traveled from his abs to the waistband of his shorts, then slipping inside to feel his hardness directly.
Roy moaned into her mouth when he felt her paw's pads on him, begging her to continue what she was doing.
Iris broke the kiss and started nibbling on his neck, increasing the speed of her paw. He was so aroused by her actions that he came undone. He rested his head on her right shoulder as his body surrendered to her actions, making a very sticky mess in his pants. Between breathing pants, Roy said, "That felt incredible, Iris. May I have the honor of retuning the favor?"
She quickly brought her mouth to his again, kissed him, and said, "You may, once we are out of here and have a few, real dates."
"Then, why did you do what you did?" He asked.
Iris didn't skip a beat, and answered, "Seeing you, completely bare on that screen, and listening to Li's comments about how you are quite well, endowed. Triggered something in me, telling me to claim what is mine."
Roy took her paws in both his real and prosthetic paws, and said, "I know who I belong to. Mind, body, heart, and soul. I love you, Iris Murphy."
"And I love you, Roy Warrens," Iris said. Followed by, "Can we head back into the hospital? Arlene made a Peach pie, Cheryl said was to die for."
"If Peach Pie is what my love wants, then Peach Pie is what she gets. Once I clean up." Roy said before he swept her up in his arms and carried her out of the Examination Room, past the two sisters.
As Iris passed them, she said, "Not a word is to be said about what you two heard, right ladies?"
"Yes, Miss Murphy," they both replied.
