Chapter Three: Protective Custody

Where we previously left off.:

T-Bone made his way back to Callie after he was sure that she was now safe and asked her, "Are you all right, Miss Briggs?"

Callie replied, "Yes, thanks to you."

He looked deeply into her green eyes, and could not help himself, so he leaned in and kissed her deeply. Callie did not know what was happening. First she had been held hostage by Dark Kat and the Past Master. Nowshe was being kissed by T-Bone!

Jake arrived on the scene a few minutes later, already dressed as Razor. He ran behind City Hall to where Chance hadleft his duffle, and also where the grappling line was. He attached the line to his Glovatrix, but before he could start up the side of the building, Felina showed up and asked:

"Now where do you think you are going?"

"I am going up to the Mayor's office to help out T-Bone in rescuing the Deputy Mayor and dealing with the two psychos up there!" Razor replied.

"Not without me, you're not, and I will not take no for an answer! Is that CLEAR?!" Felina yelled back at him.

"Suit yourself. Just don't blame me if you get sucked into the portal or worse, Lieutenant!" Razor yelled back at her.

Razor attached the line from the Glovatrix to her belt and gave it a firm tug to make sure that it was attached firmly so she would not fall. Then heactivated the winch function, lifting them both up to the top floor and the Mayor's office.

Once they were both inside safely, he detached the line. They both made their way to the door and proceeded slowly and carefully.

Not hearing any commotion from Callie's office, they both barged in.

They both looked around with their weaponsdrawn, looking for signs of trouble, before spotting T-Bone and Callie in a passionate lip lock.

Razor and Felina both blushed before Razor let out a cough, just to let the two know that they were not alone.

T-Bone, not wanting to stop kissing Callie, tried to shoo them away, but Razor and Felina were having none of that. Razor let out another "A-Hem!" louder this time.

Callie heard that andpulled back from the kiss, blushing and giggling.

T-Bone, on the other hand, looked at his partner with a look of, "When we get back to the hangar, I am going to de-claw you!"

Felina finally broke the silence and said, "Are you alright, Deputy Mayor?" since they were located in City Hall and not their apartment house.

Callie replied, "Yes Lieutenant Feral." Still blushing and out of breath from the kiss.

Razor looked around the office. Seeing not that much damage except the broken window, heasked, "What in kat's name went on here?"

Callie explained in detail what happened, minus the kissing part. She guessed that they knew that part already.

T-Bone cameout of his daze, lookedaround and didnot see Dark Kat anywhere. Just what was left of his net.

"Crud!" he said. "Dark Kat got away yet again. Can't thatguy stay down for once?"

By the time all of this happened, Commander Feral had made his way to the Deputy Mayor's office. He saw the Deputy Mayor, his niece, and the two vigilantes standing there among the chaos and said:

"Deputy Mayor Briggs, are you alright, and what are you two Hot Shots doing here? This is Enforcer business! It has nothing to do with you two!" Feral barked out.

"With all due respect Commander, if it wasn't for these two 'Hot Shots',as you callthem, I would be kidnapped by Dark Kat and the Past Master right now. So BACK OFF!" Callie screamed at Feral.

Feral huffed at this, and made his way over to his niece. He bent over so that she was the only one who could hear him say, "Make sure that all of this is reported in detail. Leave nothing out. Is thatunderstood?"

Felina replied, "Yes sir, uncle."

"Good job here, Lieutenant." Then Feral muttered under his breath, "You, too, SWAT Kats."

Razor, hearingthat,said sarcastically, "A compliment from the Commander? Hey T-Bone, I think we are going to get commendations from Commander Stick-in-the-Mudhere!"

Feral turned bright red and yelled back at the two vigilantes, "If I find that you two had anything to do with this, I will hunt you down and make sure that you do not see the light of day again! Is that clear?!"

Both T-Bone and Razor looked at each other and replied back at the same time, "Crystal."

With that, Feral said, "With Dark Kat still on the loose, who knows when he is going to come back after you, Miss Briggs. I would feel better takingyou into protective custody at one of the safe houses."

Callie replied, "Over my dead body! I have seen your so-calledsafe houses and there is no way I am going to stay in one of those flea traps. Besides, who is going to guard me? One of the newbie Enforcers? I don't think so. I am going to go back to my apartment and goon with my life."

Feral replied angrily, "And what? Have Dark Kat come knocking at your door? I don't think so!"

Felina interrupted, "She can stay at my place, or I can stay at hers. Either way, she will have the best Enforcer on the job protecting her."

T-Bone added, "When your niece is not with her, the SWAT Kats will be."

Feral sighed, knowing better to argue with his niece. "Fine. Take her back to headquarters and get all the fire power that you will need to protect her. I will have round-the-clock patrolsset up, along with sharp shooters on the adjacent roof tops."

With that, he left.

"Better get your things together, Deputy Mayor. This is going to be a long few days, if notweeks," Razor said.

Callie went over to her desk and grabbed what files she needed to work on, as well as her laptopcomputer. She also called the Mayor, who was currently teeing off on the 12th hole.

"Ah, Callie, to what do I owe the pleasure?" the Mayor asked in his Irish brogue.

Callie explained to him in detail what happened, and that she wasgoing to be held in protective custody at her apartment.

That bit of news caused the Mayor to hit the golf ball off center, so thatit bounced off of a tree and came back at him, hittinghim onthe head.

"Ouch! That is going to leave a mark! Take what you think that you are going to need from the office, Callie, and if you need anything else, have one of the Enforcers get it, "The Mayorsaid, while rubbing the newly formed welt.

Callie hung up the phone and walked up to Felina and the SWAT Kats, then said, "Let's go to my new prison."

They proceeded down the elevator to Felina's awaiting patrol car. The two she-cats got in and drove off to Enforcer Headquarters.

Razor and T-Bone looked at each other before Razor spoke. "Careto tell me what was with the lip lock up there?"

T-Bone replied, "I just could not help myself. She looked like a Goddess, and those green eyes just did me in."
