This was a very intense chapter to write as you will see. Thank you my Co-Author MisaRae for all that you do.
Mark and Lisa were wrapping up the booking paperwork for the tom that had tried to mug the she-cat back at the galleria, when they heard over the paging system, "Patrolmen Samuelson and Ericson, report to dispatch for your ride along."
Mark looked over to Lisa and asked, "What ride along is he talking about?"
"I have no idea. Are you done with your half of the booking statements yet?" Lisa responded as she tapped her paperwork on the desk to line up the pages.
"Just about. You know, this would be a lot faster if you handled the paperwork, and I just handled everything that needed muscle," Mark said as he flexed his biceps, stretching the arms of his shirt almost to the point of ripping.
Lisa watched as Mark flexed his arms. She sighed, stapled her paperwork, and got up to walk over to him. She ran her left paw over his left bicep before saying, "Not on your life. You need to learn to fill this garbage out as well as I do. Then we can spend more time out there doing what we are supposed to be doing instead of filling out multiple copies of the same form."
Mark relaxed his muscles and said, "Fine, I'll try to be more efficient in getting this stuff done. By the way, what are we doing for dinner break tonight? I don't want fish burgers again. We had them for the past seven shifts. Any ideas?"
Lisa took her paw back and said, "You know how I like those fish burgers, Mark. Besides, by the time we actually get to take our dinner break, the diner is usually the only decent place that is still open. This city is going to hell in a hand basket. I thought that things would get better now that Dark Kat is off the streets, but they are actually getting worse somehow."
Mark finished up his half of the paperwork. He stapled the paperwork together, just as Lisa had. Although, not as neatly. He put the papers down on his desk and pulled Lisa into a hug. He then asked, "Have you given any more thought as to what I asked you last week? We need to start saving up some money in order to buy that house you wanted. So you moving in with me just makes sense. We spend almost every waking hour together, anyway."
Lisa returned Mark's embrace and turned her head so her left cheek was against Mark's chest. She smiled because she not only loved him, but she loved listening to his heart beating in his chest. She replied, "I have given it some thought, and it does make sense. However, my parents would have a coronary if I moved in with you out of wedlock."
Mark just held her tighter and said, "I am not asking your parents to move in with me. I am asking you. We are going to be married at the end of the year, so what are a few months?"
"My father is the pastor at our church. How is he going to explain that his daughter is living with a tom without being married to him? Not to mention my mother is not exactly a fan of yours since you showed up at the house on your motorcycle, wearing all of that leather," Lisa replied.
"Samuelson and Ericson, I don't have all day! Get your tails up here now!" the PA screeched.
Mark gave Lisa a quick kiss between her ears before letting her go and saying, "We had better see who is waiting for us, or we are going to get the third shift again." He took her right paw in his and led her to dispatch.
They walked through the doors into the main hall of the precinct and over to the dispatch desk. Lisa crossed her arms on top of the desk that was at the height of her shoulders and looked the Sergeant directly in the eye. She asked, "So, who is this ride along that you have assigned to us?" She swished her tail back and forth just a little and turned on a 1000 watt smile.
The Sergeant looked at her and replied, "Turn off the charm, Ericson. You and Samuelson are riding with Jones tonight. His partner called in."
Lisa removed her arms from the desk and walked over to Jones, who was standing over in the corner, trying to stay out of the way. She said, "Come on, Jones, we have work to do."
Jones grabbed his hat from the bench to his right and placed it on his head. He walked over to Lisa and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before asking, "How are the marriage plans coming, Cuz?"
"They are coming along. Mark still wants me to move in with him so we can save up for the down payment on a house. But you know Mom and Dad. They will hit the roof if I do that," Lisa replied.
"Your parents are so old-fashioned, Lisa. Mine were ecstatic that I got out of their house. They converted my room into a place for my mother to do all of her crafts in the moment I left," Jones said.
"That might be true, but your father is not the Pastor of your church. He lives and breathes by what the church tells him. I can't imagine what he would say if someone told him that his daughter had moved in with her fiancée without being married to him. I don't think I would be welcome in my parents' home anymore if I did that," Lisa said.
Jones took her by the paw and led her over to Mark before saying, "So don't tell them, and be very discreet about it. You have your own place, and are hardly ever at the house, anyway. So chances are they will never find out."
Mark was leaning against the wall with one leg crossed over the other by the doors that led into the precinct. Several she-cats that were in the process of being arrested on a variety of charges looked at Mark leaning against the wall and gave whistles of approval at him as they were led away. Mark ignored their whistles and crossed his arms over his chest while waiting for Lisa to come back with the ride along that they had been assigned.
Lisa was close enough to Mark in order to hear the she-cats' whistling at her fiancée. As she got closer to Mark, she asked, "Fans of yours, dear?"
Mark stood upright and uncrossed his arms before saying, "Hardly." He then looked over to Jones and said, "Long time, no see."
Jones replied, "Well, if you guys were on first shift every once in a while, maybe I'd see you more often than the occasional family function."
"Let's go, you two, before the Sergeant blows a gasket. You can play catch-up in the squad car," Lisa said.
Jones, Lisa, and Mark left the precinct and went out to the parking lot. They walked to the rear of the lot and over to an older patrol car.
Jones asked, "Can't they give you a newer car? This thing is over six years old."
"It maybe old, but she is ours. Mark and I rebuilt this car after one of the officers blew the motor. It is 100% custom under the hood," Lisa said as she opened the hood, revealing a small racing motor and cross braces that went from the shock towers to the firewall, stabilizing the entire front end.
Jones took one look at the motor and let out a whistle. He asked, "What else did you do to this? I highly doubt that you stopped at just the motor?"
"You would be right. The transmission has been re-done, the rear end differential is an air-locker posi-traction, and I built the entire suspension. This girl can turn on a dime and give you change. Those new patrol cars don't even come close to what she can do," Mark replied.
Jones took a quick look around the car and noticed that the car sat about two inches lower than every other car in the lot. He then crouched down and looked at the tires. He saw that they were top-of-the-line Bridgestone Potenza RE-970 all season, high performance tires. He asked as he stood up, "Where did you get the money for all of this? Clearly, Feral did not issue a purchase order for all of this hardware?"
Lisa replied, "The salvage yard had most of the stuff from cars that had been used by illegal car clubs, and were waiting to be scrapped. I told Jake what we wanted to do, and he was more than helpful in finding the right parts for the job. Although, it did take a little bit of work to find a motor that would fit under the hood without modifying the chassis."
"Shall we hit the streets? Feral wants me to find this tom that is impersonating an Enforcer and haul him in. When I met with Feral earlier, he did not seem too happy that some rogue tom was running around, calling himself one of us."
Mark threw Lisa the keys to the car and said, "You drive. I had to take that tom to central booking while you got to have milk and cookies with the supply cat."
Lisa caught the keys and replied, "I was not having milk and cookies, Mark. I had a cup of coffee while waiting for the ammo that you ordered, my dear."
Mark rolled his eyes and got into the passenger seat, followed by Jones, and finally Lisa. She strapped herself into the seat and started the car. The car roared to life. After a few seconds, she put the car in gear and left the yard.
Tina was finishing cleaning up from dinner as Katerina made up the spare room for them. They had already guessed that Felina would not take too kindly to them using her bed.
Tina finished washing the last of the dishes and placed them in the drain board to dry. She then walked back to the spare room to help Katerina make up the bed, and discovered that she was already done. Tina said, "I was going to help you with that, but it looks like you're already done. So what do you want to do before bed?"
Katerina looked up at Tina and replied as she smoothed out the sheet with her paws, "I have spent the past five years behind bars, and then in Dark Kat's version of prison. I have not relaxed or been some place that I could call home for a very long time, Tina, so whatever you want to do is fine."
"Why don't we get comfortable and curl up on the couch and watch a movie or something? I can make popcorn, as long as it has not expired," Tina said.
"Ah, a night of watching chick flicks. The only thing that would make it better would be a bottle of wine," Katerina said.
Tina left the bedroom and went back into the kitchen in order to look for Katerina's beverage of choice. She opened up several cabinets until she came across Felina's liquor stash. She carefully moved some of the hard liquor bottles aside and found what she was looking for; Way in the back was a bottle of merlot. Tina took it out and closed the cabinet before making her way back to the cupboard where Felina kept the glasses and removed two wine glasses before closing the cabinet door. Tina walked into the living room, then placed the glasses and the wine on the coffee table in front of the TV. Then she walked back to the bedroom and said to Katerina, "I found a bottle of merlot hidden behind a bunch of hard stuff that I didn't think you'd like." Tina started to get undressed and ready for their movie night.
Katerina followed suit, removing her clothes and changing into the nightshirt that she had bought earlier. After changing, she looked at herself in the mirror and saw that the shirt fell a little higher on her thighs than she had hoped for, and the shirt was cut a little too low in the front for her liking. Otherwise, the soft cotton almost felt like she was wearing nothing at all.
Tina's sleepwear consisted of a pair of pink silk shorts and a pink silk camisole that stopped at her ribs, leaving her mid-section completely exposed. She turned to Kateriina and saw how good she looked in her nightshirt. She licked her lips as her eyes raked over Katerina's body. Tina asked, "You ready for a night of movies, my love?"
Katerina turned and faced Tina. She replied, "Sure."
They both left the bedroom and took each other's paw as they walked into the living room. Katerina went over to the couch and opened the bottle of wine, while Tina perused Felina's movie selection. Apparently, Felina was not the type of she-cat that was fond of romantic fluff. Every movie she had was either an action movie, or what could be considered soft porn. Neither of which appealed to her as of now. Tina asked, "Can you see what is on one of the movie channels? Unless you want to see either things blowing up or couples faking making out?"
Katerina picked up the remote for the cable box and started flipping through the channels. She eventually found a romantic comedy that had just started. She sat down on the far left of the couch and leaned against the armrest. Tina sat down next to her and leaned against her, then took Katerina's paws in hers.
As the movie played, the wine flowed. By the time the movie was half over, the bottle was empty. Both Katerina and Tina were feeling very warm and content.
Tina was feeling very affectionate towards Katerina at that moment. She looked up into Katerina's eyes and saw a reflection of the TV flickering there, almost like a candle flame. Tina was mesmerized by what she saw. She let her left paw caress Katerina's, while her right started to caress Katerina's right leg.
Katerina was also feeling the effects of the alcohol, but she kept her gaze locked onto the screen. She was slightly nervous being alone with Tina. It was not that Katerina did not love or trust Tina; it was simply the fact that she had never been in this sort of situation with a fellow female before that set her heart aflutter. She then felt Tina's ever-so-soft caresses on her paws and her leg, and she stiffened for a second. Then she relaxed and gave in to Tina's ministrations. Katerina returned Tina's caresses.
Tina felt Katerina returning her gestures and decided it was time to take the next step. She removed her right paw and brought it up to touch the area just under Katerina's left breast while she started nibbling on Katerina's neck.
Katerina felt Tina's playful nibbles and let out a small purr. This shocked her, since she had not purred for anyone in a very long time. She brought her right arm around Tina's waist and pulled her close in order to encourage Tina to continue.
Tina was definitely feeling very hot, especially after Katerina pulled her even closer. She stopped kissing Katerina's neck and pulled back to look at her face.
At the same time, Katerina looked down at Tina, saw her beautiful, exotic face looking back at her, and she could not help herself anymore. She leaned forward and drew Tina's lips into a passionate kiss.
Tina returned the kiss with vigor as she let her paw slip up to Katerina's breast and savored the feel of it. She opened her mouth and tapped Katerina's lips with her tongue, asking for entrance.
Katerina complied with Tina's request and opened her mouth, but instead of letting Tina's tongue in, she pushed her tongue into Tina's mouth, becoming the aggressor of their makeout session.
Tina was more than happy to let Katerina take over. She kept her left paw on Katerina's breast and moved her right paw up Katerina's leg, letting it slip under her nightshirt, while letting her tongue run over Katerina's.
Katerina pulled back from the kiss, breathless. After she panted for a few seconds, she said, "I think we had better take this to the bedroom before Felina accidentally walks in on us being very intimate."
Tina was also trying to catch her breath after Katerina pulled back. Although, she missed having Katerina's lips touching hers. Tina got up and extended her right paw to Katerina, inviting her to join her in the bedroom in order to continue showing their affection for each other.
Katerina took Tina's extended paw in hers and stood up. She looked down at Tina's face and let instinct take over as Katerina swept Tina off of her feet, picking her up bridal style, and walking towards the bedroom while resuming their kiss, kicking the door closed behind them once they were safely inside.
As the final rays of the sun were slipping down below the horizon, a non-descript black sedan rolled up onto the cliff known by the locals as "Makeout Point". Someone cut the engine, and two toms emerged from the vehicle. They looked around and spied one other car in the area, but this one happened to be shaking and its windows were fogged up. After exchanging a glance, they made their way around to the trunk of the sedan and opened it. Inside was the body of the tom formerly known as Snow. Each of them picked up two corners of the tarp underneath the body and lifted it, carrying their cargo like the dead weight it was. Once they had made their way over to the edge of the cliff, they set the body down just long enough for one of the toms to put a waterproof envelope in the corpse's jacket pocket. Then they lifted the tarp once more, swinging it back and forth until it had enough momentum to send the body flying out over the cliff to land with a definite splash into the river below.
One tom looked at the other and nodded. They carefully rolled up the tarp to be disposed of later, tucking it back in the trunk and closing it before turning their attention to the other vehicle. They both reached for their weapons, withdrawing their guns from their holsters as they closed in on the oblivious, rocking car.
"Oh, Kenny," the teenaged she-cat moaned, exposing her throat even more to her boyfriend as nibbled on her neck, his body covering hers as they took "Makeout Point" at its word.
Kenny smirked, loving the way his girlfriend writhed beneath him. His hands roamed her body, doing his best to find where she was most sensitive. She had just let out a startled but obviously happy cry when a knock on the window interrupted them.
Stifling a curse, Kenny shifted upward and wiped the glass of the backseat window clear with his paw to see what appeared to be a badge. He cracked open the window and asked, "Can I do something for you, officers?"
One of the toms replied, "Sorry for ruining your fun."
Kenny opened his mouth to speak, but didn't get the chance.
BANG!
His girlfriend stared, her eyes wide with terror as Kenny slumped against her, then fell off the seat with a sickening thud.
BANG!
Her head lolled to the side, the life quickly fading from her eyes.
Nodding to each other at a job well done, the two toms put their guns away and walked back to their own car.
