On a very casual day in a very ordinary neighborhood the Tugger walked down the street to the café in which he was meeting his old pal Admetus. They had been pals for a long time. Admetus had done many things in the past, and the Tugger had helped with them. The Government had no idea that they had committed those acts. No one knew, but their other partner in crime. It was completely confidential. Those dreadful acts of crime and terrorism. But someone knew…

 

The Tugger walked into the café. It seemed almost empty. “Admetus!” He smiled as the tom stood up from the table. They gave a brotherly hug and sat down. “It’s been a while since we came here, eh?”

 

“Of course. But, we would eventually come back, right?” Admetus looked about the room cautiously, “Come back… to do the unforgivable.”

 

“Of course, no one could keep us from doing those ‘crimes’.” The Tugger smiled.

 

“Crimes, far worse then crimes.” Admetus starred at him. “We’ve been caught.”

 

“By who?” The Tugger’s face grew with worry.

 

“ I don’t know, Ghengis (Their other partner in crime) said that someone knew, and that we were in big shit if we don’t do anything.”

 

The windows all smashed open and cats dressed in black leather bodysuits not wearing masks jumped in through the broken windows armed with AK-47’s and Battle rifles.  One shouted, “DOWN ON THE GROUND!” While another shot out the cashier.

 

“You, Red, take out our guests.” An orange tom that had come in ordered.

 

A red queen approached the table that Admetus and the Tugger had been sitting in.

 

Police sirens wailed, as the police were only blocks away.

 

“Fuck! Red, take out everyone! No survivors!” The Orange tom ordered. “Teazer, come on!”

 

“But Jerrie! The refugees!” An orange queen argued.

 

“We have our orders!” the tom argued back. “Come Teazer, we gotta get out of here!” The orange tom exclaimed leaping out the window with the orange queen in toe.

 

The red queen loaded her AK-47 and began shooting everything and everyone. Smiling evilly and seeming to enjoy it, she blasted everyone. When she had killed everyone but Admetus and The Tugger she exhaled, “Ah…” as if being happy she had killed everyone. She kissed her gun then looked at Admetus and the Tugger. She walked over to the table. “You’ve been bad boys!” She purred pulling Admetus up by shirt cuff. She shoved him roughly against a wall then growled, “Why did you do it?”

 

He made no reply as if ignoring her.

 

“Why did you do it asshole!” She hissed.

 

“I am sworn to secrecy.” He replied.

 

“Secrecy? How about this secrecy?” She grunted pulling a magnum out of her leg pouch and pointing it to his neck still holding him by the shirt cuff.

 

“I can’t tell you they’d kill me.”

 

“Kill you? Mother fucker I’ll kill you I’ll just enjoy it more.” She coldly replied.

 

“We did it because of plan 67.”

 

“What?”

 

“You heard me.” He smiled at her.

 

“That was abandoned years ago.” She seemed confused.

 

“Well, think again baby.” He chuckled.

 

“You’re not even worth my time.” She smiled swirling him around, and roughly grasped his head and snapped his neck in two. She looked over at the Tugger. “You’re next handsome.” She walked towards him.

 

“Please don’t kill me I’m to beautiful to die!” He whimpered.

 

She smiled evilly.

 

He swiftly pulled a pistol out of his pocket. She quickly kicked it out of his hand.

 

“Nice try pretty boy.” She laughed as she grabbed him.

 

The police sirens grew louder. They were now outside the café.

 

“Fuck!” She hissed releasing the Tugger. “You’re not safe! We’ll be back eventually.”  She ran around to the kitchen, she tossed her gun out through the back window. She jumped out after it, and ran through the bushes.

 

The police ran into the café and all pointed their guns at the Tugger. “Don’t shoot! I’m unarmed!” he cried.

 

The red queen ran down the street towards the helicopter back behind the old factory.

 

The police took the Tugger down town for questioning.

 

At Phoenix Head quarters…

 

The red queen was taken back to Phoenix HQ (the corporation they work for) for questioning.

 

“Red, what the fuck happened back there?” Mungojerrie the orange tom yelled.

 

“Hell, would you stop calling me red!” She screamed.

 

“Fine then, Bombalurina, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED BACK THERE?” he yelled again.

 

“Shut your face asshole! You abandoned me!” She stood up out of her chair furious.

 

“This corporation is an independent one!” Mungojerrie snapped.

 

“Enough Sergeant, I’ll deal with her further more.” A ginger tom walked into the room.

 

Mungojerrie huffed angrily then was escorted out by Teazer (short for Rumpelteazer). When the two were gone the ginger tom looked at Bombalurina.

 

“Bombalurina, please sit.” He cooed as he sat at his desk.

 

“I’d rather stand.” She bitterly replied.

 

“Fine. Listen, you have once again, almost blown our cover.” He stared her down.

 

“But listen, I made it out, I always make it out!” She argued.

 

“But you have to do your job and leave, no screwing around! You always have to play around, act childish or do something that makes our corporation look like a game. It’s unacceptable.” He stood up to his defense.

 

She leaned over his desk and whispered, “You do your job and I’ll do mine. I do FINE out on the field. I do it MY way. The way that I do it is my own decision.”

 

“You are a stubborn bitch.”

 

“Thank you.” She nodded.

 

“But I guess as long as you do complete your task it does remain your own decision weather or not you finish it maturely.”

 

“Maturely? I took this job because I wanted it to be fun!” She hissed.

 

“And because I told you you were one of our best.” He smiled.

 

“Yes, that too.” She looked around a bit embarrassed by agreeing with him.

 

“Now leave my presence,” He waved a hand towards the door.

 

“Is that an order?” She grinned.

 

He exhaled then said, “It’s a recommendation.”

 

“Fine.” She then sashayed out the door. “Oh and Macavity, Fuck you.” She nodded and then left.

 

“Ow.” He smiled.

 

 

 Back in the city, at the police station…

 

“I already told you I don’t know anything! I just so happened to be in that café!” The Tugger cried.

 

The police looked at one another then nodded.

 

“Alright son, you are free to go, but if anything happens call.” An officer ordered.

 

“Yeah yeah whatever.” The Tugger snottily replied standing up from the chair and leaving the questioning chamber at the police station.

 

The Tugger went straight home and sat on his couch. He remained in a silence in which he thought hard. He looked up and agreed,

 

“I need to go to Ghengis.”

 

One week later, at Phoenix headquarters…

 

Bombalurina sat in her room laying on her cot relaxing.

 

“Will team 36706 please report to the briefing hall, I repeat will team 36706 please report to the briefing hall.” The voice on the announcement system ordered.

 

“Auh!” Bombalurina grunted as she sat up, “I hate this!” She got up and walked out the door. She met up with Mungojerrie in the hallway.

 

“Look Bombalurina, I’m sorry for getting so mad at you a week ago.” He apologized.

 

She stopped walking, “It’s taken you a week to apologize?”

 

“Look I’m sorry.”

 

“Aw, it’s ok.” She smiled hugging him.

 

“Are you screwing with me?” he cocked a brow.

 

“No, it’s ok.” She smiled. They continued walking down corridor.

 

“Anyways, you wouldn’t want me mad at you with a gun in my power.” She smiled evilly.

 

Macavity was waiting for them at the hanger. Rumpelteazer and Pouncival were already there.

 

“Welcome team 36706, AKA Phoenix.” Macavity began, “We’ve had recent reports of, high level explosives being imported to Montreal, Quebec.”

 

They all sat down at the table. Macavity pulled down a projecting sheet and turned on the projector. “China has been exporting them for weeks now. Ever since we first came onto the plan of Onatopp, they have been importing explosives. And we have learned that plan 67 is still in effect. Your job is to go into the Montreal and learn why they have been gaining explosives. Why China is exporting them for free.”

 

“Excuse me sir, did you just say free?” Pouncival asked.

 

“Yes.”

 

“Now you know that is suspicious.” Mungojerrie began to think.

 

“To continue, plan 67 is in the red zone so please, be careful.” Macavity warned, “You’re my best team, I don’t want you all going to waste. Alright, gear up, your going in one hour.”

 

They all got up and went to the locker room.

 

“Bomby, when you and a guy really like each other, how do you know when he wants too, you know.” Rumpelteazer began as she dressed in the change room.

 

Bombalurina poked her head out of the shower, “Why are you asking me?”

 

“Because you’ve dated about 500 guys.” She replied slipping her shirt on.

 

“Oh, well sometimes they’ll tell you.” She replied.

 

“Really? Mungojerrie doesn’t like to talk about stuff like that.”

 

“Who would have guessed that a guy who is evil on the battle field would be uncomfortable talking about sex.” Bombalurina smiled turning off the shower tap.

 

“Yeah, it’s kinda surprising, isn’t it?” Rumpelteazer laughed.

 

“Well, maybe when you guess actually kiss you’ll know when he wants it.”

 

“We’ve kissed.” Rumpelteazer snapped.

 

“When?” Bombalurina smiled putting her hands on her hips as she walked around in her towel.

 

Rumpelteazer remained silent, “I don’t remember the exact date, but we did.”

 

“Team 36706 report to the briefing hall now, no exceptions.” The intercom announced.

 

“Damn, I’m not even ready.” Bombalurina grunted.

 

“Well, just put your cloths on the way.” Rumpelteazer laughed running out of the changing room.

 

Rumpelteazer and the half dressed Bombalurina ran down the corridor to the briefing room. Pouncival and Mungojerrie were already there. Rumpelteazer stood beside the toms joining the salute. Bombalurina Began to put on her leather bodysuit.

 

“What are you doing?” Macavity asked.

 

“Getting dressed, or am I gonna get in trouble for that too?”

 

Macavity smiled, “Alright team, gear up.” He pointed to their guns.

 

They all walked over to the table except for Bombalurina who ran over and picked up her gun, “Oh yeah!!” She screamed, “Ass kicking time!”

 

The others were used to her childish behavior, so they casually got their guns and walked over to the helicopter.

 

Mungojerrie went on, then Pouncival and Bombalurina would race to see who was faster, but Bombalurina always won.

 

“You ass.” Pouncival would say. It was a set routine for the team. The heli took off and headed for Montreal.

 

“We’re setting you down at an old factory that we have been given word is the base for the operations.” Macavity said through the walkie talkies they each had.

 

“Yeah, yeah, whatever Maccy Baby.” Bombalurina purred.

 

“Knock it off Bomby.” Macavity snapped.

 

The Team was then taken to Montreal.

 

At the base of operations…

 

The Tugger had gone to Ghengis to find answers.

 

“Tugger, we need to be on our toes. This organization, Phoenix, they are very powerful.” Ghengis warned.

 

“I have news about Admetus…” The Tugger began.

 

“What?”

 

“Phoenix killed him.” The Tugger added.

 

“I hate Phoenix.” Ghengis growled standing up out of his chair. “They wear no masks because they know they won’t be caught. They fear nothing, but fear itself.” Ghengis walked about the room angrily. “Which team came? It was 36706 wasn’t it?”

 

“You’d have to be a bit more descriptive.” The Tugger replied.

 

“The team, with the two orange cats, the calico and the red one.” Ghengis replied deeply.

 

“Yeah, that’s the one, but there was no calico.” The Tugger raised a brow.

 

“Yes, the calico Pouncival doesn’t always go with his team.” Ghengis replied, “He’s a new-bee.”

 

“Ah.”

 

“That red one though, there is something about her that turns me on. Weather it be her bod, her sexiness or the way she acts, she turns me on.” Ghengis smiled.

 

“Yeah, tell me about it.” The Tugger couldn’t disagree with him; he too liked her, even if she did try to kill him.

 

“Did you tell them anything?” Ghengis growled.

 

“No, but Admetus said that plan 67 is still in effect.” The Tugger replied, “What’s plan 67?”

 

“He told them that? That bastard! You will learn about plan 67, but for now, you are an asset. Nothing but an asset.”

 

Outside the base…

 

The team landed about 500 yards away from the base. The team got out and set out towards the base.

 

“Good luck team, we’ll be out of communication to HQ for a while on account of the computer was having problems.” Macavity announced quietly.

 

“Alright, fall in people.” Bombalurina ordered as they were outside the base. “Maccy said there was a tunnel around here somewhere that would allow us to enter into the base.” They looked around and found it after about 15 minutes.

 

“Alright people, listen up.” Mungojerrie began as they entered the base, “Rumpelteazer and I will take the upper levels, Red and Pounce will take ground level.”

 

“Why am I stuck with new-bee?” Bombalurina growled.

 

“Because you’re the best out of this team, he needs to learn about the field work, ok?” Mungojerrie explained.

 

“Ok.” Bombalurina smiled, “As long as we all know I am the best.”

 

“Move out.” Mungojerrie ordered.

 

“Come on Pounce.” Bombalurina sighed walking down the corridor shouldering her gun. She looked over her shoulder, “Do I need to hold your hand? Come on!” She snapped.

 

2 hours later…

 

After an awkward silence between Pouncival and Bombalurina, Bomby finally said, “Ok, we need to be quiet, we don’t want to get caught, ok?”

 

“Yeah… uh, Red…” Pouncival began.

 

“What is it Hun?” She asked peering around the corner to see if the cost was clear.

“You look good in that outfit.”

 

She looked over her shoulder, “Sorry but no.”

 

“What?”

 

“I’m too old for you, not saying that I’m old but, older then you.” Bombalurina smiled.

 

“Sorry I don’t follow.” Pouncival replied.

 

“Look, go down that corridor, if anything breaths, kill it.”

 

“Ok.”

 

“Meet back here in 25 minutes.”

 

“Ok, I’ll be here.” Pouncival then went down the god for saken corridor.

 

Bombalurina opened the next door. Inside it seemed like warehouse inside.

 

She walked over to the table in the room and picked up the glass of red whine. “Red whine, I love red whine.” She purred drinking it. “Oh, what’s this?” She opened the Tugger’s diary.

 

The Tugger jumped up from behind her and shoved her against the table.

 

She screamed in horror. She looked over at him, “You again!”

 

He held her there for a while before saying, “Shhh, it’s ok.” He smiled. “See? I can be sneaky too.”

 

“I knew you were coming I just wanted to see if you would grab me.” She smiled.

 

He shoved her into the table harder, “Don’t be a smart ass.”

 

“Oh…” She moaned.

 

“What?” The Tugger asked curiously.

 

 “Your hurting me!” She whined. She had an idea. “Oh Tugger…” She groaned.

 

Two of Ghengis’s Hench cats peered around the corner to see what all the noise was.

 

“Do you see that?” One snickered, “He’s in the position that Ghengis would want to be in.”

 

The other one snickered, “But isn’t that every toms dream? To be on top of a queen wearing a skin tight leather bodysuit?”

 

“Yeah, it is.” The other nodded.

 

Bombalurina rolled over.

 

He leaned on her. He felt her legs grow tighter and tighter around him until suddenly, he passed out. She had knocked him out cold. She let his body fall to the floor.

 

She growled. She looked over at Ghengis’s Hench cats. “Wanna have a go?” She smiled sarcastically taking another sip from the glass.

 

The two took off running. She shook her head then sat in the table. She looked down at the Tugger. “I have secured a hostage.” She said into her mic. 

 

“Alright, meet outside, we have gotten all the info we need.” Mungojerrie replied.

 

 

“Pounce? You there?” Bombalurina began into the mic.

 

“Yeah, loud and clear.” He cheerfully said.

 

“Meet back at the heli, we’re leaving now.” She added.

 

“Ok, on my way.” Pouncival replied beginning to walk.

 

Bombalurina looked down at the Tugger, “Well, just you and me. Which, can’t be a good thing.” She leaned down and tied him up. She grabbed a piece of rope and dragged him along the cold floor.

 

Back at HQ…

 

The Tugger woke up on a cold dirty floor. He looked up to see bars. “Bars?” He cried, “I’ve been captured!” He cried again.

 

He looked stood up and ran to the edge of the cell. The chains that were around his wrists and ankles stopped him. He could just make it to the cell bars. Outside the cell was the oh so sexy red feline.

 

“Welcome back.” She smiled.

 

“How long have you been there?” He exclaimed.

 

“Long enough to hear you talking in your sleep.” She grinned.

 

“What happened?” He frowned.

 

“While you thought we were getting frisky, I knocked you out.” She growled.

 

“Really? Faking or not, your wonderful.” He smiled.

 

“Ha, ha, ha, get fucked!” She hissed leaving room.

 

“Whoa, what a sweet ass.” The Tugger smiled watching her leave.

 

“Don’t you get it? We’re prisoners!” Ghengis scowled at him.

“Who cares, as long as I get to see her sweet ass, I’ll never feel like a prisoner here! Wait…Ghengis? Did they get you too?” He looked over in the other cell.

 

“Yeah, they got me dumb shit! It’s all your fault!” He roared.

 

“Why my fault?” he asked a bit agitated.

 

“While you were off screwing her, they found me! You were supposed to be on patrol!” Ghengis snapped.

 

“I was though, I was distracting her, she is very sneaky.” The Tugger nodded.

 

“Yeah, because she tricked you into thinking she wanted to have sex with you!” He snarled.

 

“Yeah, I guess, I’m sorry boss.” The Tugger apologized.

 

“You better find a way out of here for us!”

 

In the briefing hall…

 

“Well, I have to say, well done. You have all successfully done your jobs.” Macavity nodded. “We have enough data to find out what those cats were up too, and you have captured two head cats.”

 

“Two head cats? Don’t you mean one?” Bombalurina asked.

 

“No I mean two, their both head of this organization, in fact, the Tugger as you’ve called him is the one who came up with plan 67. He had an accident a while back that made him forget that he created it and that he was in head command of the three cats.” Macavity explained.

 

“But, he’s such a dumbass! He couldn’t possibly be in charge?” Bombalurina grunted.

 

“Sir, you said that he was in head command of two cats, but, there were three. The data says that there is one other cat.” Mungojerrie added.

 

“Well, we’ll continue this later.” Macavity nodded leaving the room.

 

“That was rather weird.” Rumpelteazer raised a brow.

 

“I don’t care, he’s a nut so who cares!” Bombalurina hissed getting up and leaving the room.

 

Bombalurina walked down the prison cells. She walked in and looked at the Tugger.

 

“Hi.” He said politely she sighed shook her head she dropped what she had in her hand.

 

“God dammnet.” She hissed bending over to pick it up. The Tugger leaned over to get a better view of her.

 

When she stood up she looked over at him, “You have a hot ass.” She walked in and slapped him,

 

“Stop starring at my ass!” She hissed. “Now sit still,” she said softer.

 

“What are you doing?” He asked.

 

“I’m giving you a needle.” She replied.

 

“No, uh, uh, no way am I getting a needle!” He denied.

 

 “Come on it won’t hurt!” She reassured him.

 

“Oh yeah? We’ll see!” He cried.

 

She pulled up his sleeve.

 

“Please don’t hurt me!” He pleaded.

 

“I’m not going to hurt you!” She replied pulling out the needle.

 

“But you’d hurt me at any chance you would get!” He complained.

 

“All done.” She smiled putting the needle on the floor.

 

“Really?” he asked.

 

“Yeah retard! You were so worried about it hurting that you didn’t notice when I did it.”

 

“Oh, awesome.” He smiled happy he hadn’t felt it. She stood up and walked over to the garbage across the room. He tried not to stare but it was hard. She turned around and saw the Tugger staring.

 

“What did I tell you?” She asked walking over to the Tugger.

 

“Not to stare.” He replied.

 

“It’s ok, I don’t care. All the toms stare at my ass.” She shrugged.  “I’m leaving.”

 

“Why?” The Tugger asked.

 

“Because.” She replied leaving the room.

 

“That’s not an answer.” The Tugger shook his head.

 

Three days later…

 

Team 36706 was meeting in the briefing hall.

 

“OK, now we need to assign someone to stay with the ‘Tugger’ to keep an eye on him.” Macavity announced.

 

“What about Bombalurina? She kept him pretty occupied in the warehouse.” Pouncival giggled.

“Shut the hell up you ass!” Bombalurina hissed.

 

“What are you talking about?” Rumpelteazer asked.

 

“Never you mind!” Bombalurina grunted.

 

“Well, he is fond of you. I think it would make sense.” Macavity nodded.

 

After a few moments of silence, Bombalurina stood up, “Oh fuck you all.” She hissed.

 

She stomped off towards the prison cells.

 

“Bomby wait! If you want, I’ll stay with him.” Rumpelteazer offered.

 

“No, I don’t want anyone having to deal with him.” Bombalurina disagreed.

 

“Ok, whatever you say.” Rumpelteazer nodded.

 

Bombalurina walked into the prison cells.

 

“Hi baby!” The Tugger greeted standing up.

 

“Don’t say that!” She hissed.

 

“Ok, fine, hello Bombalurina.”

 

She walked inside the cell, and closed the door. She leaned against the wall and sighed.

 

“You ok?” He asked.

 

“Yes, I am fine!” She hissed.

 

“Do you want me to hurt myself? I know you like it when I hurt myself.” The Tugger smiled.

 

She gave a little smile.

 

“You know you’re much hotter when you smile.” The Tugger added.

 

She looked down at him. He had a bruise on his cheek. “Oh my god, did I do that when I kicked you?” she exclaimed.

 

“Yeah probably.” He replied not seeming to care.

 

She sat back down and looked away. Why did she even care weather or not he was ok? She was an agent, part of the highest agency.

 

“Are you mad?” He asked in a stupid voice.

 

“No.” She replied with her teeth clenched.

 

“Why are you here if you hate me so much?” he asked.

 

“I was assigned to stay with you.” She replied calming down.

 

“Oh, that’s cool.” The Tugger nodded. “You know, your not so bad after knowing you a while.” The Tugger nodded.

 

“Yeah, I bet secretly you have a big heart.” She looked over at him from where she sat.

 

“That’s not the only secret big thing I have.” He smiled.

 

“Oh ha ha.” She sarcastically laughed.

 

Ghengis watched the two from the other cell.

 

“Bomby, I really appreciate you staying with me.” The Tugger smiled.

 

“It’s a good way for us to bond. But I still hate you!” She smiled, “Bond? James bond.” She laughed,

 

“I can be James Bond.” The Tugger smiled. He imitated have a gun in his hands, and hummed the James Bond theme song. “Wait, doesn’t James Bond always have some hot girl with him?”

 

“Uh, yeah I think so.” Bombalurina thought for a moment. “I remember Famke Janssen play Xenia Onatopp.”

 

“Ok that can be you.” He smiled.

 

He started making the James Bond impersonations again.

 

“Having fun there?” She smiled

 

“Yes, great fun, cause James Bond kicks ass!” He smiled.

 

She looked about the empty room.

 

“Uh, when do we get fed?” He asked.

 

“What? You hungry?” She asked.

 

“Yeah, starving.” He replied.

 

“Well listen up, this is not a paradise for you! You are a prisoner!” She snapped.

 

“Ok, ok. Don’t get your thong in a twist!” He growled.

 

“Now, I’m off duty.” She turned and began to walk out of the cell.

 

“Wait!” The Tugger cried. She looked over her shoulder, “What’s gonna happen to me?”

 

“I don’t know, it’s not up to me.” She replied locking the cell.

 

She looked into Ghengis’s cell. He watched her very uncomfortably. She rolled her eyes and left.

 

“Ah, you lucky son of a bitch!” Ghengis smiled from the other cell, “You were all over her and she didn’t seem to care.”

 

“Well, I wasn’t all over her.” The Tugger replied, “But I am a chick magnet.” He smiled.

 

A week later…

 

“Alright, he have another mission. We’ve found another spot where we think plan 67 is taking place.” Macavity explained. “You are to go in there and neutralize all threats, understand?”

 

“Yes, but sir, what are we looking for this time? We already found everything needed.” Mungojerrie inquired.

 

“We didn’t find the blueprints for plan 67.” Bombalurina hissed at him.

 

“What’s wrong with you? Ever since last mission you’ve acted all bitchy.” Mungojerrie asked.

 

“Just never you mind!” She growled.

 

The team geared up and got into the heli. They commenced take off and flew to the other known base, in Toronto.

 

The team was dropped off into the complex. They walked about the area and secured it.

 

Not knowing that they had acquired hitchhikers, they walked deeper into the complex.

 

Ghengis looked out from the Heli. “All clear, see? I told you to trust me!” Ghengis laughed leaping out if the heli.

 

“Yeah, yeah. You’re just a big show off asshole!” The Tugger snapped.

 

“I’m going to find leader 586, you have to find your lady friend, yes?” Ghengis smiled.

 

“Of course…” The Tugger smiled.

 

Pouncival and Bombalurina were buddied up so he thought he might try again.

 

“Bombalurina, I really like you ya know.” He shyly began.

 

She stopped walking and faced him, “Look, perhaps I’ll screw you one day, but I’ll never really love you.” She firmly explained and then continued walking.

 

“Are you serious? You would screw me?” He asked somewhat smiling.

 

“Just shut up, every time you talk you give away our position.” She whispered.

 

“Sorry…” Pouncival replied.

 

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer walked around the dark room that they had just discovered.

 

“Jerrie… we need to talk more…” Rumpelteazer began.

 

“About what?”

 

“Our relationship.”

 

“I know, but we need to find time to.” He stopped and faced her, “I do love you if that’s what you’re getting at.”

 

“No, I know you do, I just needed to hear you say that.” She smiled.

 

Pouncival and Bombalurina walked into a big open room. She pointed her gun around looking for movement. “Pouncival, secure the perimeter.” She ordered.

 

He nodded and ran off into the darkness.

 

She looked at the large desk in the light. She looked about the desk carefully. She heard someone coming up behind her but didn’t take notice, as soon as she felt them grabbing her, she flipped them and pointed her AK-47 at him, “Tugger? What the fuck are you doing here?” She hissed. “How the hell did you get out?” She asked.

 

“Long story.” He moaned.

 

“Well, you’re certainly not staying here.” She shook her head. “All units report to the left wing, I repeat all units report to the left wing.” She ordered into her mic. “Now Tugger be a good boy and sit on that chair.” She smiled pointing to the chair in the light. He stood up and sat in the chair. She hand cuffed him and smiled. She heard a noise from behind her. She spun around and fired at the Hench cats that were coming towards her. “Assholes.”

 

“You want to have dinner some time?” The Tugger asked.

 

“No.”

 

“What was the firing?” Mungojerrie asked as he and Rumpelteazer ran into the room.

 

“Some of Ghengis’s Hench cats tried to jump me.” She replied.

 

Pouncival ran into the room firing down the corridor that he had just been in. He slammed the door. “Shit! We gotta get the hell out of here!” He cried.

 

“Why what’s wrong private?” Mungojerrie asked.

 

Pouncival just kept muttering.

“Dammnet Private what the fuck were you firing at!” Mungojerrie roared. 

 

“I found a medical lab in the basement. They have been creating monsters!” He cried.

 

“What kinds of monsters?” Rumpelteazer asked suspiciously.

 

The door smashed open and creatures ran into the room attacking them.

 

Bombalurina sat on the Tugger lap still facing the creatures and smiled, “Assholes.” Then began shooting like crazy. The other’s joined shooting as they defended themselves from the creatures, Bombalurina laid back against the Tugger resting her head on his shoulder, “That was rough.” She smiled at him.

 

“You have to stop teasing me.” He frowned.

 

Mungojerrie walked over to a dead body, “What the Fuck are these?” He asked in total shock. “They look, mutated. They look like hell!”

 

“Kinda like Tugger here.” Bombalurina smiled.

 

“Oh ha ha.” The Tugger sarcastically laughed.

 

“It’s plan 67.” Bombalurina replied. “They added a something into the cat DNA, and turned them into, these mother fuckers!” Bombalurina explained.

 

“How do you know this?” Rumpelteazer asked.

 

“I red it on the paper work on the desk. It explains everything. The only strange thing is, it doesn’t say if it’s irreversible or not.” Bombalurina looked at her.

 

“So, their gonna take over the world with mutated cats?” Pouncival exclaimed.

 

“Yeah. Pretty much.” She nodded. “We gotta get to HQ and deliver these documents to the Big Mac.”

 

The team set off through the complex towards the heli, with the Tugger still captive. They flew back to HQ and gave Macavity the documents.

 

“Well done team. You’ve done well. We have come into hand of a big problem though.” Macavity announced. “We’ll have to look more into this later on.”

 

The team went about doing whatever pleased each of them, except Bombalurina who was still stuck with the Tugger.

 

“I’m board.” The Tugger moaned. After his last escape, they had cuffed him so he couldn’t really move about the cell freely. “This is retarded! Please uncuff me!” He pleaded.

 

“No, I’m not aloud.” She disagreed.

 

“Babe, come here.” He whispered. She knelt down to his eye level, he then whispered, “Who’s that guy?” and tilted his head. She stood up. She was trying not to be sucked into liking him; she had a duty to guard him. She looked over in the other cell.

 

“That there is a hobo. We found him sneaking around the base.” She replied.

 

“Come here.” He motioned for her to lean over to him. When she did, he kissed her on the cheek.

 

She stood up straight and pulled out her magnum, “Don’t try another move.” She growled.

 

“Ok, ok, I’m sorry for liking you.” He apologized.

 

She put her magnum back into her leg pouch and walked back out of the cell. She closed and locked it then walked over to the computer. The Tugger stood up with a bit of difficulty and walked over to the edge of the cell. “What are you doing?” He asked.

 

“Shut up.”

 

“Playing a game?”

 

“No, I’m setting up the camera’s in here again. They went offline.” She replied. She continued to tap onto the keys. The Tugger looked around. He was so board.

 

“Hey babe can I come out?”

 

“I told you no.”

 

“I won’t do nothing, I shouldn’t. I don’t work for Ghengis any more he’s a dick. I hate him he abandoned me. Did I mention he’s a dick?”

 

Bombalurina began to laugh, “You idiot.”

 

“I know, rub it in…” he frowned trying to make her laugh again. The Intercom buzzed.

 

Bombalurina pressed the button, “Prison cells.”

 

“You got the cams back online sweetie.” A kind voice cheerfully announced.

 

“I know, I can’t see why he thought it was so hard. And don’t call me sweetie!” She hissed.

 

“Ok, I’m sorry, and um, that prisoner we got the Tugger is what his profile says, you need to take him to the infirmary for disease check ups.”

 

“Alright, on the way.” Bombalurina moaned. “Come on.” She growled opening the cell.

 

“Awesome, I get to see outside the prison area?? Cool!” He smiled.

 

She roughly grabbed him and dragged him down the hall.

 

“Ow, Ow your so damn violent.” The Tugger complained.

 

 She walked into the infirmary and sat him on the table and uncuffed him. “Don’t move.” She warned.

 

She walked over to the cupboard and grabbed the stethoscope. “You’re gonna need to take your shirt off.” He quickly removed his shirt and then said,

 

“Now you.”

 

“Not even funny Tug.” She growled as she set the Stethoscope on his chest. She leaned over him to grab a Popsicle stick to use to check his throat. When she did, she felt his heart jump. She looked over at him, and smiled.

 

She stood up straight and said, “Sit up so I can see down your throat.”

 

He sat up and opened his mouth. She looked inside his mouth then said, “Alright, take off your pants.” He smiled and practically ripped of his pants. As he worked of his boxers she said, “You can keep those on, I won’t need to see anything underneath your boxers.”

 

“Oh that’s a pity, you’d be surprised.” He smiled childishly. She rolled her eyes then checked his legs for irritation, illness or disease.

 

“Alright, you’re clean.” She smiled.

 

“You know how they always say that the nurses are hot, now I know why.” The Tugger grinned.

 

“Thanks for the compliment.” She replied.

 

As he put his pants and shirt back on he asked, “Have you ever ridden a tank?”

 

“Yeah, many times. Blowing shit up is awesome.” She replied serious. “Come, you need to be taken back to the prison cells.”

 

“Aw but…I like it out here.” He wined.

 

“I have to take you back.” She cuffed him again. She dragged him back to the prison cells.

 

“But, I don’t like the cells.” He complained.

 

“I’m sorry but-”

 

“Bomby, there’s been an accident!” Rumpelteazer cried at the door of the prison hold.

 

Bombalurina and Rumpelteazer ran to the briefing hall.

 

“What the hell is this?” Macavity hissed.

 

“What’s what sir?” Bombalurina asked.

 

He turned his laptop in her direction. It showed the building that they had recently gone to for information. Where they had found the creatures. It then suddenly blew up in a nuclear explosion. Her eyes widened.

 

“That Ms. Red is 6 hours after your team was sent into the complex.” Macavity explained, “Now, this is what happens when you FUCK around. People die!”

 

“People? What people? Our team was out of there 6 hours before that, you already know this.” Bombalurina replied.

 

“We had sent a team into the complex to find out more on these creatures. They had planted bombs around the complex if anything were to say, happen.” He frowned. “We sent in a team to get more information about the monsters, and they blew the place.”

 

“I’m sorry to hear that but I don’t understand how it’s always my fault.” Bombalurina defended herself.

 

“Your acts of immaturity have always led to your doings in these missions.”

 

“But I didn’t do it! I was the one who found the plans I was the one who sent Pouncival to see if there was anything around there!” She snarled.

 

“Oh yes and about that, something’s happened.” He stood up seeming more upset then before.

 

“What?” She looked at him worried.

 

“It’s Pouncival…”

 

“What about him?” She became very upset as well.

 

“He’s turning.”

 

“Sir what are you talking about?”

 

“He was injured by one of them, and now, he’s turning.” Macavity explained. “They carry the disease Ms. Red. They have put it into him through a wound.” Macavity yelled. “You have put this whole facility in the red zone!”

 

“Me? What the hell have I done?” She spat.

 

“You sent him down to the lab to check it out.” Macavity replied.

 

“I didn’t know they were down there! How could I have known?” She spat again.

 

“Look, someone has to be to blame,” Macavity began.

 

“But I didn’t create those mother fuckers!” She yelled.

 

“Ok, I agree that it wasn’t entirely your fault.” He nodded. “But we had a level 4 team in there. That isn’t exactly the type of team that dies unthought of.”

 

“I know sir, but if it should be anyone you’re mad at it should be the bad guys. They created the beasts.”

 

“Of course.” Macavity nodded. “Be on your way. I need to examine this paper work you brought back.”

 

She left the room still very agitated.

 

Team 36706 stared at Macavity. “You shouldn’t be so hard on her.” Mungojerrie was surprisingly defending her.

 

“Yeah, it wasn’t her fault.” Rumpelteazer added.

 

“I told you to get out.” He ordered.

 

The Two glared at him then left the room.

 

Bombalurina returned to the prison cells. She angrily growled and walked over to the computer.

 

“Hey Bomb. What’s wrong?” the Tugger asked still cuffed and unable to move practically.

 

“My boss is an ass, ok?” She hissed.

 

“Ok, I understand. My old boss was a dick, do you know who I’m talking about?” He smiled.

 

She showed no sign of happiness.

 

She pressed the intercom button.

 

“Head room.” A toms voice announced.

 

“Can I take prisoner 365 out?” Bombalurina asked.

 

“Green lights to go. Enject a beeper though.” The tom then ended the conversation.

 

Bombalurina walked over to the cell in which the Tugger was. She walked over to him and uncuffed him. “Stand.” She ordered. He stood up. “Turn around.” He turned around. She injected a small amount of liquid into his back with a needle.

 

“OW!” He bellowed. “What the hell!” He cried.

 

“It’s a beeper, so if you try and make a run for it, we can track you down. No matter where you go, where you hide, I will come and kill you if you try and escape. I have the authority and clearance to do it too. And I will enjoy it.” She smiled pointing to the 63 A3 on her back.

 

“Ok, ok I’ll be good.” He nodded.

 

“Alright, where would you like to go?” She asked.

 

“I don’t know, anywhere is fine.”  He nodded.

 

“Would you like to go for a walk outside?”

 

“Oh yes, the air will do me some good.” He nodded.

 

The two went outside. They sat on the grass and watched the sunset. “How beautiful.” The Tugger smiled.

 

“Yeah it is a nice sunset.” She nodded not really to interested in anything but the wind.

 

“Not the sunset…you.” The Tugger smiled,

 

She looked over at him, “Don’t suck up. I hate suck ups.”

 

“Team 36706, come in.” Her walkie-talkie sounded.

 

“What is it Big Mac?” She replied.

 

“You’re team is being sent to China to investigate the explosives threat.” He replied, “And the Tugger is going with you.”

 

“Tugger? Why Tugger?” She replied.

 

“He gives us some diplomatic leverage.” He replied, “He might start remember what’s going on.”

 

 

Briefing hall…

 

“As you all know, the Tugger is coming to China with you. He will be on your team of operations.” Macavity announced as they came to the hall, “Gear up, this mission is going to be harder then anything you’ve encountered. You’re going to China to find out what they needed so many explosives for.”

 

“But, I thought the complex incident was why they-”

 

“No,” Macavity cut Rumpelteazer off, “That was not nearly as big as how many explosives they have. They probably are getting more as we speak. Gear up fast; you need to get there within 7 hours. Instead of taking the east you’ll be taking the west. Much faster.”

 

“OK, you heard’em team go, go, go!” Mungojerrie ordered.

 

The team grabbed their equipment and jumped into the Heli they were using. They were then flown to China.

 

7 and a half hours later…

 

“Ok team 36706, listen up, we’re behind schedule so we need to do this fast. Your mission is to kill EVERYONE on sight. Anyone and anything that breaths, kill it.” Macavity explained through the walkie-talkie.

 

“Ok everyone, you heard the Bug Mac, move out!” Mungojerrie ordered, “Red and Tugger, upper levels, Teazer and I will take the sub basement”

 

They all went to their assigned areas.

 

The Tugger watched Bombalurina make her way down the hall.

 

“Can I have a gun?” He asked.

 

She stopped and turned to him, “You’re not getting a gun.” She gave him a look that said, “You crazy?”

 

“Why?” He replied.

 

“Cause I don’t want you pulling anything.” She growled continuing to walk.

 

“What? Don’t give me that shit, I’ll be good.” He pleaded.

 

She stopped walking again then sighed. “How about I give you a bullet?”

 

“Huh?” He looked confused. “What the hell would I want with a bull-”

 

She quickly armed herself with a magnum and grabbed him. She pointed the gun to his neck and hissed, “If you don’t shut up, I will put a cap in your head!”

 

“I’m sorry Bomby.” He apologized.

 

She set him down.

 

“What are you afraid of?” He asked. She turned to him with flaming eyes. “I mean why do you treat me like trash?”

 

“Oh please Tugger, it would take me years to finish the list.” She sighed turning and returning to her sweep.

 

“Are you afraid of me?” He asked.

 

“Why the hell would I be afraid of you?” She laughed.

 

“Because-” He grabbed her and pushed her against the wall and pointed the magnum to her neck, “I have your magnum.”

 

“You think your so clever don’t you?” She smiled, “I’m not afraid of you.” She laughed.

 

“No, your afraid of something else.” He looked into her eyes. “They say you can read a person from looking into their eyes.”

 

“I don’t believe that.” She looked away.

 

He let go of her and handed her the magnum.

 

“What? Why did you let me go? You could have killed me. Taken me hostage. Why didn’t you?”

 

“Because I’m not afraid of what your afraid of.” He smiled that charming smile of his.

 

It made her smile.

 

“My god, you smiled!” He laughed.

 

She shoved him away and snarled, “Shut up, and keep your filthy hands off me.” She began to walk again. He smiled and followed her.

 

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer walked in the subbasement. They hadn’t found much. The area seemed clear.

 

“Jerrie?” Teazer began.

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Do you still love me?” She seemed shyer then usual.

 

“Teazer, you know I do. I always will.” He smiled as he turned to her. He kissed her on the cheek. Teazer smiled. He stroked her face and added, “We’ll have a nice dinner after this mission, okay?”

 

“Alright Jerrie. I’d like that.”

 

Bombalurina and the Tugger entered a room that had file cabinets everywhere. Paper work on desks and so much more.

 

“If those documents were in this building, this is the room they’d be in.” Bombalurina and the Tugger walked into the room. They each took one side of the room. The doors suddenly slammed shut and smoke canisters were thrown into the room.

 

“All units evacuate the building, we have come into hostile contact! Repeat all units evacuate! Don’t wait for us! Just get out!” Bombalurina cried.

 

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer paused, “This whole thing was a set up, the documents aren’t really here!” Bombalurina cried into her mic.

 

“Move.” Mungojerrie ordered and walked quickly towards the stairs.

 

“What the hell are you doing? We have to help them!” Teazer cried.

 

“No, we have to get out of here. They can handle themselves.”

 

“But Jerrie!” Teazer argued.

 

“Let’s go, that’s an order, private.” Mungojerrie glared at her and jogged out of the building. Teazer followed, they escaped the building and were taken to Phoenix.

 

In a place HQ doesn’t know of as of yet…

The Tugger woke up on a hard cold floor. He sat up and looked around the room. He tapped the unconscious Bombalurina on the shoulder.

 

“Bomby, Yo babe, wake up.” He whispered.

 

“Uh…mhm…” She groaned in her sleep and slapped his hand lightly.

 

“Red!” He spat shaking her more roughly.

 

“What?” She growled.

 

“Look.” He pointed.

 

She looked up. They were in a cage. Two guards stood outside the bars. Bombalurina sat up. She looked at the toms standing outside. They looked at the two awake in the prison.

 

“Shall we tell leader 586?” One whispered.

 

“Yes, let’s do. I’m sure the boss has plans for them.” The two marched out of the room.

 

Bombalurina stood up and squeezed through the bars but got stuck. “Damn, my chest is too big, I can’t get through.” She hissed.

 

“Well at least one of us is happy about your chest size.” The Tugger smiled.

 

“Oh, it’s useless to try and get away, I guess we’ll have to wait for the team.” She sighed. She looked over at the Tugger. He looked kinda scared. ”Don’t worry Tugger, it’ll be ok.” She patted him on the leg.

 

“Since when do you care about me?” He asked confused.

She looked the other way blushing. “Red…” He purred. She looked over at him. He leaned towards her and passionately kissed her. It was weird she actually liked it… and she wanted more…

 

“Hey, check it out.” One guard said to the other returning into the room, “We got love birds.” He laughed.

 

Bombalurina pulled away from the Tugger’s embracement.

 

“Oh come on girlie, you know you want it.” The guard taunted. She casted a dark glare on him.

 

“Hey, isn’t he the one boss 586 has been looking for?” The guard asked the other guard.

“Yeah, I think he is.” The other one replied. “I can’t believe he fell in love with a Phoenix member.” He chuckled.

 

“A love that could never be.” One laughed. “That’s so sad.”

 

“Come here pretty girl, boss 586 wants to see you.” The guard opened the door and grabbed her by the back of her suit.

 

“Ah! Let go!” She hissed.

 

“Stop struggling, or I’ll put a cap in your head!” He snapped pointing a pistol at her head.

 

“Hey, that’s what I say!” She hissed.

 

He took her to a room far away from the holding prison. He opened the door and threw her in the room. He slammed the door behind her. She rubbed her sore neck and looked up at the cat sitting in the desk. He starred at he with menacing eyes. “Welcome, to the torture chamber.” He smiled greeting her.

 

“Your fucking sick.” She growled.

 

He glared at her then got up. He grabbed her and threw her into the wall. “Ah!” She yelled in pain.

 

“You little whore!” he grunted picking her up again. He threw her into another wall.

 

The Tugger could hear her screaming through the vents. Her agony. Her suffering. Her misery. Her distress. Her pain.

 

“AH! Let me go!” He snapped

 

“Sorry brother, but we can’t do that.” The guard smiled knowing she was being tortured.

 

“Stop this…” Bombalurina moaned.

 

“Na, it’s ok, I like doing this.” The cat growled with a smile. He picked her up and glared into her eyes. “Look at you, pitiful. Defenseless. Completely venerable.” He dropped her limp, bloody body to the floor. He walked over to the up window. “You see? Phoenix had to lose sometime. Be taught a lesson. I hear your Macavity’s favourite.” He smiled through his yellow teeth. “I can see why. I’m guessing your as good as you look.”

 

She moaned and looked up at him. “But, why?” She groaned.

 

“Phoenix isn’t all it says it is. Sometimes it fights for the wrong reason. With the wrong people. On the wrong side of good and evil.” He looked over his shoulder. “Like you for example. You seduce your victims most time, but my boy Tugger… you really fell for him.” He chuckled. “I’d say he was one lucky bastard but, I don’t know about you.” He grinned picking her up again.

 

“Your boy?” She shakily made out.

 

“Yes, Tugger is my son. He would have never been able to find this organization without the help of someone.” He replied, “He’s not the most clever cat out there.” He added.

 

Bombalurina remained silent.

 

“He is one of our best, but, I whipped out his memory years ago. He knows nothing about me, or plan 67. Only about his times with Ghengis and Admetus.” He threw her over his desk. “But just think it’s not all that bad, I am the only one who can bring back his memory.”

 

She shakily went onto her hands and knees. Panting.

 

“Come on, I’ve heard about your amazing skill to seduce people. Seduce me, I haven’t had fun in weeks.” He sat in his chair.

 

“Fuck you.” She hissed wiping the blood from her mouth.

 

“Watch your mouth, princess!” He growled, “I can kill you now, but, I decided not too. I wanted to have a little fun with you.”

 

“Fun?” She looked up at him.

 

“Yes. Throw you around a little bit, then kill you.”

 

“Take a bow you sick fuck, you’ve done your worst, kill me now.”

 

“My worst? Oh my dear queen, you haven’t even seen my kindest ways to hurt you. I’ve just been introducing myself.” He smiled.

 

 

Back in the prison…

 

“Come on let me out!” The Tugger hissed.

 

“No, the boss wouldn’t allow that type of thing.” One guard began.

 

The intercom turned on, “Listen, let the Tugger come to my office, I want him to see the Phoenix member.” Their boss laughed.

 

“You heard the man, let me out you fucken Asses!” the Tugger growled.

 

The guards took the Tugger down the damp hall and into the office. They shoved him in and locked the door.

 

“Welcome my son.” The cat smiled. “Welcome to my office, I know you don’t remember it, but that’s alright.”

 

“Son? I’m not your son.” The Tugger lowered his brow.

 

“Yes, you are. I whipped your memory a while back. But I can bring it back.” He replied.

 

“Prove you’re my father.” He demanded.

 

 The cat gave him a picture of them both smiling arms over each other’s shoulder.

 

“It can’t be.” The Tugger frowned, as his eyes grew larger.

 

“It is, now would you like to see your beloved Bombalurina?” He asked.

 

“What have you done to her?” The Tugger demanded.

 

“Tugger look, they’ll never except you back in Phoenix again knowing you are the son of me. Face it, your top priority, they will want you dead.” The Cat smiled. The cat pointed to Bombalurina sitting in the corner watching them shaking her head smiling.

 

“The son of the cat we’ve been trying to track down for years. You really are good at playing games Tugger. Screwing up has always been your most famous characteristic.” She stood up and walked up to them.

 

“Your alive.” The Tugger smiled beginning to hug her.

 

“Keep your filthy fucken hands off me you little shit!” She hissed throwing him to the floor.

 

“Bomby, what’s wrong?” He asked.

 

“What’s wrong? You’ve been playing me, for your father.” She hissed.

 

“What? No I wasn’t! I didn’t even know about him till now!” He defended.

 

“He knew you would fall for me and I would fall for your charm, and he set you and I up!” She hissed. “I can’t believe I kissed you! I can’t believe I let you, touch me!” She snarled

 

“No! I didn’t want this!” He explained.

 

“I don’t even want to think about you let alone look at you!” She growled. “I hate you! I will kill you!” She grasped his throat.

 

The cat grabbed her and threw her into the wall again. 

 

“No! Father don’t!” The Tugger cried running to her.

 

“Leave her. She has nothing left for you.” His father grabbed him before he could go to her. She glared up at both of them.

 

 

“Come son, shall we get you a drink?” The cat grinned.

 

“What of her?” The Tugger asked.

 

“She can remain here.” The cat nodded. He led the Tugger to a ballroom at the end of the hall. He gave the Tugger a bottle of scotch and said, “Drink up.”

 

“Father, what’s your name?” The Tugger asked taking a sip.

 

“Growltiger. I’m a bravo cat who traveled on a barge; in fact I was the roughest cat who ever roamed at large. From Gravesend to Oxford I pursued my evil aims. Rejoicing in my title as the terror of the thams.”

 

“Ok then…” The Tugger looked like he was really surprised by the way his father rhymed.

 

“Listen, I can get you anything you want. Kill anyone you want. Destroy anything you want.” His father fiddled with some toothpicks. “What do you want most? I will get it or do it for you. Except it as a fatherly gift.”

 

“I want nothing from you father.” He looked at the red carpet.

 

“I see, then what is it that you want?” Growltiger stared into his face.

 

The Tugger remained silent.

 

“Very well, we’ll do this the easy way.” Growltiger looked over the Tugger, “Quaxo!” He yelled. A cloud of purple smoke appeared and a Black cat walked out of it. He bowed to Growltiger and said,

 

“What is it master?”

 

“Read my boys mind, find out what he wants most.” Growltiger flicked his wrist at him as he sat back in his chair.

 

Quaxo put his finger on the Tugger’s head and closed his eyes. “He wants the red queen,” He replied as he opened his eyes.

 

“Holy fucken shit, are you serious!” Growltiger spat sarcastically as he sat forward in his chair. “Anyone could have told me that you idiot! Out of my site before I snap your back in two!” He roared as the black cat disappeared into thin air. Growltiger turned to the Tugger, “So, you want her?”

 

“Yes.” The Tugger replied straightly.

 

“Come on son, there’s money waiting out there, you wouldn’t believe how much.” Growltiger made a motion with his hands, “Son, what do you really want?”

 

The Tugger looked him in the face and snapped, “I want you dead.”

 

Growltiger’s face grew angry as he stood to hit his son, the Tugger pulled out the pistol he had snatched from Growltiger and pulled the trigger. BANG! Went the gun. Growltiger fell to the floor behind the bar. The Tugger stood there for a moment then ran back to Growltiger’s office.

 

Bombalurina rummaged through Growltiger’s things. She searched through the desk and the binders that lay across the floor.

 

The Tugger slowly opened the door and saw her, “What are you doing?” He asked her.

 

She spun around with a start. She glared at him, “I’m gonna kill you! I’ll kill you will my bear hands if I have too!” She grasped his neck and squeezed. He grabbed her wrists and kissed her. She rested her arms around his shoulders. They stood there, in an intimate embracement. When the Tugger released her she hugged him tightly, “Tugger I’m so sorry. I was angry.”

 

“I know what you were so afraid of.” She looked at him, “You’re afraid of me.”

 

“I’m not afraid of you, for the last time!” She hissed backing away.

 

“You’re afraid of love, afraid you’d fall in love with me.” He smiled slightly.

 

 

“Tugger I-”

 

The door flew open. Growltiger stood there glaring at them. He slammed the door behind him, “You little shit! I tried to be nice. I wanted to be a good father. But no, you didn’t want that.”

 

“But… how? I shot you!” The Tugger exclaimed.

 

Growltiger ripped his shirt open. A bulletproof vest was exposed. “I’m a clever kitty, eh?” He grinned and chuckled.

 

“No…” the Tugger moaned.

 

“They say you learn everything you ever wanted to know before death. But, I can’t say for sure.” Growltiger pulled out a magnum and pointed it at Bombalurina.

 

She gave him an evil glare, “Get the gun out of my face.” She growled.

 

Growltiger chuckled, “And what if I don’t?” he grabbed her by the top of her suit. She began to struggle, even though the gun was still pointed at her.

 

“Let her go Growltiger!” The Tugger hissed pointing his pistol at Growltiger. Growltiger laughed.

 

“Gonna make me?”

 

The Tugger shot Growltiger again and again and again before he saw Growltiger fall. He released Bombalurina and she fell to the floor as well. She groaned as she stood up.

 

“Bomby, you okay?” he asked as she stood up.

 

“No.” She grunted rubbing her sore head, “I need an Advil.”  The Tugger smiled. He put his hand on her shoulder, “Don’t touch me!” She hissed.

 

“I didn’t do anything! Just relax.” He stared her in the face.

 

“Just stay away from me ok?” She was very angry with him, but he couldn’t see why. “Come on, we have to get out of here.” She walked out of the room not even turning to see the Tugger.

 

They made their way through the building. When they arrived at the holding prisons, there were three toms in there talking, “How did they get out?” One gasped.

 

“Growltiger must have made a move.” The other replied, “What of plan 67?”

 

“What about it?” The other replied.

 

“Did Growltiger make the plans in Moscow?” He snapped.

 

“Yeah. He did. The terrorists are in position. They’re waiting for their que.”

 

“Terrorists? Moscow? I need to call in. This is precious information. She reached for her radio, but it wasn’t there. She looked up again and saw it on the table in the room the toms were in. “Damn!” She grunted.

 

“What?”

 

“My radio is in the room.” She hissed, “Give me your pistol.” He handed her his pistol. She peered around the corner and shot out all the toms.

 

“Nice.” He smiled.

 

She looked over at him, “Only speak when spoken to.” She growled, “Your not even worth being an asset.”

 

“Why are you being a bitch?” He snapped.

 

She ran into the room, “Look just forget about it.” She fiddled with the radio then spoke into it, “This is Red, come in base over.”

 

“Stragglers of team 36706, what is your status?” The voice replied.

 

“I’m alright requesting immediate pick up.” She exclaimed.

 

“What is your position?” The voice asked.

 

She looked over at the Tugger, “Last mission area drop off station.”

 

“Alright, immediate rescue team is being assembled now. Over and out.” The voice ended and radio static sounded.

 

“So what will we do until the rescue team arrives?” The Tugger asked.

 

“Not what your thinking of doing…” She growled.

 

“Oh come on! Is that all you think I think about?” He snapped.

 

“What do you mean? That is all you think about.” She smiled deeply.

 

“Oh haha…” He snapped.

 

Several hours later…

 

“Holy shit I’m bored…” the Tugger moaned.

 

 

“Your bored? I’m bored! You have been playing on that stupid computer the past few hours. I’ve been just sitting here.” She groaned.

 

“Come here.” He motioned for her to come over to him. She walked over to him and sat beside him on the chair. “Look Red, I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye but I think your probably the most attractive, beautiful, intelligent, coy, seductive, kind and sassy queen I’ve ever met and I’ve met a lot of queens.”

 

She rolled her eyes, “I don’t doubt that.” She replied.

 

“Would you let me finish?” He growled.

 

She motioned her hand and replied, “Oh please, continue.”  Then leaned back on the chair giving him a deathful glare.

 

“Well…” He scratched the back of his head, “I think you deserve a tom that will be completely devoted to liking you.”

 

She cocked a brow, “Wow your smarter then you look.”

“Yeah and I thought-”

 

“And you thought you could fit that file? I don’t think so.” She stood up and started laughing, “It’s cute how you think I like you.” She brought her hand across his fur then along his chin, “And it’s cute how your wrong.”

 

He made a face that somewhat resembled a frown, then was quickly taken by a confused look, “If you don’t like me, then why did you kiss me in the cell?”

 

“Alright, fine! You want the truth?” She hissed.

 

“Yes, yes I would.”

 

“From the moment I set eyes on you I have loved every part of you. And thought you were the most handsome tom around. But no matter what nice thing I say to you, I still hate you.” She replied.

 

“Wow.” Was his only reply, “I never knew you felt that way.”

 

“You knew I hated you already though.”

 

“No that you actually liked me. I never thought you would have.” He smiled, “But I am happy that you do.”

 

“I am too.” She smiled, “That I admitted it to you.”

 

“Me too.” He grinned back. He sat a bit closer to her and rubbed the back of her neck, “I like you too. But as if you don’t know that.”

 

She relaxed in his arms and purred softly. “Tugger,” she smiled slyly, “I think I’m in trouble…”

 

The rescue team arrived a few minutes later. Bombalurina and the Tugger were waiting outside seeming very agitated.

 

The side door on the heli opened and Jerrie looked out, “Common guys! Get in!” He yelled over the noise of the spinning blade.

 

“Took you long enough…” Bombalurina growled.

 

“Hey we came as soon as we could.” Jerrie snapped helping the Tugger into the heli.

 

Bombalurina sat across from the Tugger, and Jerrie thought, “Uh oh.”

 

When they all arrived at the head quarters Bombalurina and the Tugger went there separate ways. Mungojerrie followed the Tugger and Teazer followed Bombalurina.

 

“Hey, uh, Tugger…” Jerrie began “Did you and Bomby uh…”

 

“Have sex?” The Tugger asked.

 

“Yeah.”

 

“What is it to you?” The Tugger unlocked his door to his room.

 

“Cause we’re pals right? You’d tell me? Right?”

 

The Tugger set his hand on Jerries shoulder, “Brother I’d tell you anything, but this is my personal life your getting into.”

 

“You did… didn’t you?” Jerrie became worried.

 

The Tugger turned to him, “Hey I didn’t say that.” He smiled then shut the door.

 

“Oh no…”

 

Rumpelteazer stood with her back to Bombalurina as Bomby changed into some more casual cloths.

 

“Bombalurina please be honest with me.” Teazer pleaded, “Did you or did you not have sex with the Tugger.”

 

Bombalurina turned around to see Teazer’s back, “I don’t understand why it matters so much. What if I did? What’s the matter with that?”

 

“The matter is, you aren’t suppose to fraternize with prisoners.” Teazer snapped and turned around as Bombalurina finished changing.

 

“Prisoner? I that it was clear that he was no longer our hostage,” Bombalurina became angry, “Are you saying HQ lied to me?”

 

“Yes, we needed him so we could get closer to Growltiger.” Teazer replied, “He was expendable. They were hoping he wouldn’t make it through the mission.”

 

“So he was an asset? An expandable asset?” Bombalurina started to yell.

 

“Bomby please keep your voice down.” Teazer quietly told her.

 

Bombalurina put her hand to her forehead and paced back and forth, “You knew and you didn’t even tell me.” She snapped pointing a finger at Teazer.

 

“Bomby you have to understand it was classified. You know as very well as I do that these types of things must be kept confidential.”

 

Bombalurina took a deep breath, “Well,” she paused, “I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t have sex with him.”

 

“So you didn’t?” Teazer asked again.

 

“No, I don’t understand why you would think I did!” She exclaimed.

 

“Alright, I just needed to make sure that you hadn’t done it. I’m glad you didn’t.” Teazer hugged Bombalurina and headed for the door.

 

Later that month…

 

The Tugger was told of the fact that Macavity used him as an asset and he was transported to the city and was told to keep a low profile or he would be killed. HQ was quite generous to let him go or even live.

 

Bombalurina was still part of Phoenix, and her last mission didn’t affect her.

 

She was going on a mission into the city with Munkustrap (Macavity’s younger brother) and she was fond of him as he was of her. It seemed so much easier to have a boy friend that was actually part of the corporation. Less hassle.

 

They were going to the city for a shoot in and out. Meaning they were going to kill someone and that was it. It was not the Tugger but the chances of him being there were incredibly low. Which was good considering they hadn’t the authority to kill him.

 

As the heli brought them into the city, Macavity said over the radios, “Remember, we need this to go smooth and quick, no fucking around, Bombalurina.” He snapped.

 

“Oh haha that’s hilarious you ass hole.” She replied and smiled as she finished.

 

“Watch your self queen…” He warned.

 

“Is that a threat? You know harassment has a very fine line Mac, haven’t you read your handbook?” She replied over her radio.

 

All the cats in the heli began to snicker as she continued to argue with him considering this was announced to all the cats on duty.

 

“Just get the job done private.” He snapped as he ended the call.

 

“Hey Bomby you might not want to purposely try and lose your job.” Munkustrap laughed.

“I’m obviously not trying hard enough cause I’m still here.” She replied.

 

As they came closer to the building, some toms came out with RPG’s and attacked the heli. It was sent swirling to the ground and hit hard. Some of the cats didn’t make it but Munkustrap, Bombalurina, Teazer, Mungojerrie and Alonzo made it out. They all had bruises and cuts.

 

“Shit! Well now what the fuck are we suppose to do? Were in deep shit now man!” Alonzo began to become very frustrated, even as an experienced member.

 

“So much for it going over quick.” Bombalurina grunted.

 

Mungojerrie became quite stressed, “Hey just shut up team, we need to rethink this. Are any radios working?”

 

Bombalurina picked up her radio, “No.”

 

“Is there anything we can salvage from the heli?”

 

Bombalurina looked over at the little remains from the heli, “No.”

 

“Are our fire arms alright?”

 

Bombalurina looked at her battle rifle, “Yes,”

 

“Is anyone else besides Bombalurina gonna reply?”

 

Bombalurina looked around at everyone sitting looking quite irate, “No.”

 

“Then we have a good chance of getting our Asses kick but we still need to try and finish the mission.”

 

“Hey maybe you haven’t been keeping up on current events but we just got our asses kicked pal.” Alonzo snapped.

 

“Yeah like how the fuck are we suppose to get through this? We have no way to contact HQ if something goes wrong.” Munkustrap snapped at Mungojerrie.

 

“We haven’t really got a choice do we?” Mungojerrie argued.

 

“Yeah we do, we can back out now and be back to HQ in say… 3 weeks if we walk.” Alonzo replied.

 

“Or one week by car. Takes 3 times less the time.” Munkustrap added.

 

“Look, I’m running this mission and since Macavity has no say, you follow my jurisdiction. Got it?” Mungojerrie snapped.

 

“Yes sir.” Munkustrap grumbled.

 

“Good now lets go.” Mungojerrie was very upset, “You guys really make me angry the way you act.”

 

“What!” Bombalurina snapped started to jolt towards him but was tripped by Munkustrap in fear she would try and kill Jerrie.

 

“Can you blame us though Jerrie? We just crashed in a heli! We’re kinda banged up.” Teazer replied.

 

Jerrie looked around at everyone again, “Ok, I’m sorry.”

 

Bombalurina looked up at him from the ground, “I’m sorry too.”

 

“For what?”

 

“For joining this thing.” Bombalurina stood up.

 

“But don’t you love the way killing people makes you feel?” Alonzo smirked, “I know you more then anybody loves to kill people.”

 

“And just think Red, had you not joined you wouldn’t have met Tugger.” Jerrie made butterfly lashes.

“Shut up the past is better off forgotten.” She set her hands on her belt.

 

“Who?” Munkustrap asked.

 

“The one guy that she actually liked back.” Alonzo laughed.

 

“Hey! Shut your face!” She growled jumping on his back and hitting him relentlessly.

 

“Hey! Baby stop it!” Munkustrap grabbed her and pulled her back falling over his tail and making them both fall.

 

Bombalurina looked up at Alonzo and growled glaring her teeth.

 

“Hey knock it off or I’ll smash both your faces in!” Jerrie yelled.

 

“You’d hit a girl?” Bombalurina gave him an angry sexy look.

 

“Don’t push it flower.” Alonzo snickered.

 

“Oh your insulting me now?!” Munkustrap sat up angrily.

 

“Knock it off! Lets just finish this damn mission and get the hell out of here!” Teazer yelled at the top of her lungs. Everyone went silent. No one ever heard he yell like that. Not even Jerrie.

 

Jerrie looked over at the team again, “Well you heard her lets go! You two get up off your Asses!”

 

Munkustrap stood and helped Bombalurina up.

 

“Your even letting him help you up how sweet.” Alonzo smiled.

 

“I’ll kill you pal.” Bombalurina scrapped her teeth together.

 

They went inside the building. Jerrie secured the perimeter and came back to the team, “OK we’ll split up into two teams, Alonzo you’ll come

with Teazer and I. Munkus you and Bomby take that hallway, we’ll take this hallway, “Alright lets go people.”

 

15 minutes later…

 

Bombalurina and Munkustrap walked endlessly around the building. Bombalurina lowered her firearm.

 

“Babe what are you doing?” Munkustrap asked still watching for enemies.

 

“Common there’s no one here.” Bombalurina smiled leaning against the wall.

 

“What about those toms with RPG’s?” Munkustrap replied.

 

“Well there’s no one around us right now.” She shrugged smiling.

 

“Common Munkustrap baby, it’s a perfect time to have a little fun.” She grabbed his tail.

 

He jumped slightly, “We can’t do anything here.”

 

“And why not?” She wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

 

“For one its not safe. For another we’re on a mission.” She started to purr.

 

“Just a little bit of fun? Please?” She unzipped her suit slightly.

 

“Well…” He peered down her suit a bit, “I suppose a little bit of fun.” He smirked.

 

Teazer and Jerrie walked silently then Alonzo broke the silence, “Are you sure it was safe to leave Bombalurina and Munkustrap alone? I mean Bombalurina is very good at persuading toms.”

 

Jerrie stopped walking and looked at Teazer.

 

“He’s right Jerrie. Perhaps it would be best if Alonzo went to check on them” Teazer looked at Jerrie.

 

“Alright go private, but no screwing around! Got it?” Jerrie pointed at Alonzo.

 

“Got it.” Alonzo then went to find Bombalurina and Munkustrap.

 

Bombalurina and Munkustrap were in a passionate entanglement (But not to deep). When Alonzo turned a corner we could see them down the hallway, luckily they didn’t notice. He took out his camera, turned off the flash. He snapped a picture and it came out, “Great picture.” he chuckled to himself.

 

He walked down the hallway and Bombalurina caught him in the corner of her eye and jumped back from Munkustrap.

 

“Oh could this get any worse!” Bombalurina moaned.

 

“Oh yes it could.” Alonzo smiled.

 

“And How’s that?” Munkustrap asked zipping up Bombalurina suit for her.

 

Alonzo pulled the picture out from his pocket.

 

Bombalurina’s jaw dropped and she let out a sharp gasp, “Give that to me!” She lunged at Alonzo.

 

“Bombalurina stop it!” Munkustrap tried to get her off him before she actually did kill him.

 

“You can’t have what you see!” Alonzo laughed hysterically at her attempts to get the picture.

 

A few enemy toms saw them down the hallway and chuckled to each other, “Are you seeing this clearly?” One nearly lost it laughing.

 

“That queen is a nut case.” The other one laughed.

“Well come on perfect advantage.” The third tom motioned for them to follow him.

 

The three toms ambushed them.

 

“Holy shit!” Alonzo yelped.

 

“Oh well done Alonzo!” Bombalurina snapped as one of the toms grabbed her.

 

As the one tom grabbed Alonzo, Alonzo struggled.

 

“Stop struggling!” Bombalurina hissed.

 

“Stop?” Alonzo grunted back, “I should be struggling so I can,” Alonzo struggled, “Get away!”

 

“You obviously haven’t been captured have you?” She leaned towards him still being held by the tom, “You never struggle cause they’ll hit you or they’ll start to dislike you.” The tom pulled her back roughly, “And you don’t want them to dislike you.”

 

“Hey Logan, I like this queen.” The tom that was holding Bombalurina smirked, as he smelt her hair.

 

“Get off me you pig!” She hissed struggling to be freed.

 

“But Bombalurina I thought you liked that.” Alonzo smiled.

 

“This isn’t the time fuck face!” Bombalurina growled.

 

“Quite a mouth you got.” The Tom that was holding her smiled.

 

“Yeah, she uses it a lot, but not just for talking.” Alonzo busted out laughing.

 

“Alonzo stop being so immature!” Bombalurina snapped.

 

Alonzo continued to laugh then sharply replied, “Shut up you fucking slut!”

 

Bombalurina shot him a dirty look.

 

“Well, at least we know this cooperation isn’t well prepared.” One tom budded in.

 

“Look, just cause you caught us at a bad time doesn’t mean you can call all of our cooperation well prepared.” Munkustrap hissed.

 

“Munkustrap, I never knew you were so dedicated to our cooperation.” Alonzo gasped sarcastically.

 

“Alonzo!” Bombalurina screamed at the top of her lungs, “Shut your god damn face!” She yelled.

 

Alonzo grew strangely silent.

 

Not to far away…

 

The Tugger strolled down the sidewalk just normally. He suddenly out of absolute nowhere he smelt burning… something. He looked over the fence and saw a helicopter that had crashed. He rushed over to see if anyone was still alive. He saw a tom’s body, wearing a phoenix cooperation suit. The Tugger smelt a familiar perfume and smiled, He ran inside the building after his target.

 

Bombalurina sat in the same cell with Alonzo because of how much the guards saw she favored him.  Munkustrap sat in the cell next to them. Bombalurina held Munkustrap’s hand through the cell. He kissed her hand through the cage, “Don’t worry we’ll be ok.” Munkustrap softly told her. Alonzo scooted over to Bombalurina.

 

“Are they gonna… kill us?” He stammered.

 

Bombalurina looked over at him, “I don’t know, why?” She replied.

 

“Cause I really don’t wanna die in this cell.” He frowned.

 

“Or worse be tortured.” She smiled.

 

Alonzo’s eyes widened, “Who would torture a cat? Especially me!” He questioned in fright.

 

Bombalurina smirked, “I probably would.”

 

The cell was dark and the floor hard and cold and the room was very large and damp. There was little light in this particular room. They all knew they were probably in a basement before they went down stairs.

 

Bombalurina stood up and walked over to the cell door, “Hey you.” She began talking to the guard.

 

“What?” He replied.

 

“Let me out.” She ordered.

 

“No.” He scowled at her.

 

She frowned and made a sad face, “Why…”

 

“The boss would be angry.” He replied, “And I ain’t in the mood for him right now.”

 

‘What’s your bosses name?” Bombalurina asked.

 

“Plato.” The tom replied.

 

“Wait… does he have a friend named Macavity? A close friend?”  Bombalurina asked.

 

“How should I know? Now sit down.” He ordered.

 

Bombalurina looked over at Munkustrap in the other cell. The expression on Munkustrap’s face told her he was thinking the same thing as her.

 

“Let me out so I can kill Macavity.” She hissed.

 

“No, now shut your face bitch before I bash it in.” The guard snarled.

 

“What you gonna do about it!” She snarled back. He pointed his gun at her, “Oh, you’ll do that.” She gazed at the gun.

 

Somewhere in the building…

 

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer walked alone together in the building.

 

“Jerrie its been 2 hours, and there hasn’t been any sign of life. I think that if there was someone or someone’s here their gone now.” Teazer spoke as she broke the silence.

 

“Well, you could be right, or we aren’t looking in the right spot.” Jerrie replied.

 

They walked towards a hallway that was white and had lots of lights on. Seeming to have been life there once at some point in the past 3 hours.

 

“Teazer, take point.” Jerrie whispered.

 

Teazer walked towards the doorway and peeked around the corner. “Move up.” Teazer motioned for Jerrie to follow.

 

Jerrie walked into the hallway leading them both into what they didn’t know would be their worst decision yet.

 

The Tugger wandered through the warehouse. He had no idea where to look for her. “What the hell am I doing?” The Tugger asked out loud to himself. He had been walking inside the building for what it seemed like hour, which it was. He finally saw some lights that were turned on. Not the hallways that the two Jerrie and Teazer went down but at least it ment someone was alive down there.

 

Alonzo sat by the front of he prison hold watching the guards talk quietly. Bombalurina slept by the left side of the cage while Munkustrap scratched behind her ears through the cage bars. Alonzo scooted over to wards them, “I hate being in a cage.” He growled deeply.

 

“No one likes being I a cage. No one likes to feel owned, and by being in a cage your capturers can treat you as they own you.” Munkustrap replied.

 

“Well ether way I want to get out of this hell hole.” Alonzo snapped in a whisper.

 

The guards looked over into the cages. One started laughing.

 

“Hey!” Alonzo snapped crawling over to the edge of the cage, “What’s so funny?”

 

“Speak only when spoken too!” The guard snapped.

 

Alonzo flew back to the back of the prison hold in fear, “Yes sir.” He whimpered.

 

The guards continued to talk amongst then selves. One of the radios buzzed, “Yes sir?” One of the guards replied.

 

“I need two of you down here pronto!” The voice replied.

 

“Right away sir.” The guard egnolidged him. “You two go.” The guard that had been talking on the radio ordered. The two rushed out of the room. The guard looked back at the prisoners. Alonzo was still pissed off, Bombalurina was sleeping and Munkustrap was watching her sleep.

 

Alonzo stood up and looked at the guard, “I’ve had enough of this bull shit let me out!” He yelled.

 

“Sit the hell down!” The guard pointed his gun at Alonzo.

 

“Make me chicken shit!” Alonzo was right at the front of the cage.

 

Bombalurina woke up from all the commotion.

 

“Either stop or I blow your fucking head off!” The guard grabbed Alonzo through the cage.

 

There was a slight bang and the guard fell to the floor. The Tugger stood behind him with a blunt piece of wood in his hand.

 

“Tugger?” Bombalurina almost feel over, even though she was sitting down.

 

“Tugger?” Alonzo repeated but with more of a confused tone.

 

“Who’s Tugger?” Munkustrap asked her through the bars.

 

The Tugger unlocked the doors and ran in and picked Bombalurina up. “Oh Bomby you haven’t changed a bit.” he smiled setting her down, “I really missed you.” He smiled sliding his hands down her back, lower and lower and lower grabbing her.

 

She slapped his hands, “Stop touching me!” She hissed and backed away.

 

“Oh right right sorry. I know how you dislike me doing that.” He smiled kissing her.

 

She slapped him and rushed over to where Munkustrap was, “Stop it!” She snarled.

 

“What’s up with you?”  The Tugger asked.

 

“I don’t understand why you keep insisting that you own me.” She growled.

 

“What’s up with you? You’re acting like you don’t want me around.” He Tugger seemed quite upset.

 

“Tugger, we never had anything.” She replied.

 

“What?”

 

“You seem to think that we had a relationship, but we never did.” She replied a bit more sympathetic that he thought so much of something that never was.

 

“But… I thought… we could have…” He was totally stunned.

 

“Wait a minute what?” Munkustrap looked like he walked right in the middle of a season of one of those dramatic soap opera’s. In other words he was completely confused and had no idea what they were talking about.

 

“This tom here, he was on of the people that we were suppose to kill.” She began.

 

“And he, rose from the dead…?” Munkustrap looked at her puzzled.

 

“No, we didn’t kill him. I kinda… didn’t have enough time. Then we found him at a different place. And we took him back to HQ. Then after about a month or 2 we let him go into the city and well, here we are. All of us.”

 

“Oh… I understand.” Munkustrap nodded.

 

The Tugger looked at Bombalurina and smiled, “So I guess your free then?”

 

“Actually, I’m with Munkustrap.” Bombalurina held onto Munkustrap’s arm.

 

“Oh.” The Tugger seemed upset by that news as well.

 

“So yeah, I’m Munkustrap.”  Munkustrap held out his hand to shake the Tugger’s.

 

“I’m Tugger.” He replied somewhat angered and sad. When they shook hands Munkustrap could feel from how hard the Tugger grasped his hand that he was angry.

 

“Got quite a grip.” Munkustrap smiled as he was released.

 

Bombalurina smiled knowing the Tugger was extremely angry, “Common gentlemen.” She started to walk out of the room.

 

“Yeah, common gentlemen.” Alonzo mimicked to make fun of Bombalurina.

 

The four wandered through the building before Munkustrap began. “We really need to find Jerrie and Teazer so we can get the hell out of here.”

 

“As if we hadn’t already thought of that you moron.” The Tugger growled.

 

“Hey as far as I know you don’t work for phoenix, in fact, you are a threat to this whole mission.” Munkustrap poked The Tugger in the chest.

 

“Don’t point fingers at me you ass hole.” The Tugger hit his hand away.

 

“Watch your tongue or I’ll slit it out.” Munkustrap warned pulling out a very expensive looking knife.

 

“Stop it!” Bombalurina shoved them both away from each other. “This is non-sence!” She spat.

 

“You know your boy friends a real jerk.” The Tugger grunted walking around them.

 

Bombalurina glared at the Tugger.

 

“Don’t worry. He’s still under our say. Remember, we have the guns.” Munkustrap tapped on his gun.

 

Bombalurina smiled then walked behind Alonzo. 

 

Jerrie walked into the lightly lightened room. Teazer followed. They both had really bad feelings. Like something was down there that they shouldn’t see. That normal cats shouldn’t see. Then there it was. The one thing that stood in their way: A huge metal door. One that you needed a certain handprint to get in: Which as you could plainly see is a problem.

 

“You know what that means.” Jerrie sighed.

 

“Yep. There’s something behind there that we need to see.” Teazer replied, having a horrible feeling in her stomach.

 

They heard footsteps coming and hid behind some crates in the corner. They heard familiar voices arguing.

 

“Well if you weren’t so jealous of Munkustrap…” Bombalurina snapped.

 

“I am not jealous of that shit hole.” The Tugger snarled at her.

 

“Don’t snap at her!” Munkustrap stood in front of her.

 

“What are you gonna do pretty boy?” The Tugger asked angrily.

 

Munkustrap shoved him so hard the Tugger flew into the crates Jerrie and Teazer were hiding behind.

 

“Holy shit!” Jerrie spat standing up, “What the fuck are you doing?” Jerrie exclaimed.

 

“Dealing with a prisoner.” Munkustrap replied.

 

Teazer helped the Tugger up, “Prisoner?”

 

“Yeah in case you’ve forgotten, that tom isn’t part of this corporation.” Alonzo began.

 

“He’s been nothing but trouble ever since we found him.” Munkustrap growled. 

 

“I say we fuck this rat son of a bitch right now.” Alonzo grabbed the Tugger and pinned him to the wall.

 

“No!” Bombalurina pushed Alonzo away.

 

“Oh so you do care about him?” Alonzo taunted.

 

“No, but I can’t just stand by while you kill him. He hasn’t done anything.” She hissed.

 

“Oh yes he has. He’s surpassed my annoyingness!”  Alonzo snapped.

 

“Oh great reason Alonzo.” She grunted

 

“What the hell are you all talking about?” Jerrie hissed.

 

“These three have been arguing the entire time. Well mostly the Tugger.” She stared at the Tugger her eyes sinking into him like knives. 

 

Munkustrap walked over to Jerrie, “What’s that?” He asked looking at the door.

 

“The thing standing between us and the reason as to why there are those creatures.” Teazer replied.

 

“And why those creatures are so well hidden, and their files.” Jerrie added.

 

“So how do we get into that door?” Teazer gazed over at the door.

 

“You don’t think Growltiger would have ever used that door do you?” Bombalurina asked thinking hard.

 

“He probably did. I mean what better place to hide top secret files then in a obvious place?” Alonzo replied.

Bombalurina grabbed the Tugger by the arm and pulled him over to the hand scanner. “Put your hand on the hand scanner.”

 

“The what?” The Tugger asked.

 

“Hand scanner.” She repeated, “Scans your hand… idiot.” she mumbled.

 

The Tugger looked at her feeling very rejected. He put his hand on the scanner and the door made a loud clashing noise like huge gears. The door opened and revealed a large silver plated room. Bombalurina cuffed the Tugger.

 

“Team take positions.” Jerrie whispered. All the team got onto position. Alonzo went in first with Bombalurina. They secured the area and returned to their team.

 

“There a some scientists in there. Nothing to serious. We did manage to see guards in front of another steel door.” Bombalurina replied coming back with Alonzo.

 

“But unfortunately we need to take out the guards in order to get into the room. There’s no other way.” Alonzo added.

 

“Oh that’s great.” The Tugger budded in.

 

“Quiet.” Munkustrap pointed his gun at him. 

 

“Alright, Teazer and I will take out the guards, you two worry about getting all the scientists taken out. Got it?” Jerrie began walking into the room.

 

Jerrie and Teazer both went on separate sides of the room and waited for the others to get into their places. They all took cover behind silver crates and iron boxes. They were large, probably for carrying parts for machines or specimens for experiments.  Mungojerrie made a motion for Teazer and him to take the first attack.

 

Jerrie and Teazer stood up and began firing at the two guards.

 

The other two began firing at the scientist going in and out of the large doors they needed to get into. After about 15 minutes of firing all went silent. The chains swayed back and fourth in the breeze from the fans on the ceiling. Dripping water came from several cracks in the ceiling. No real living noise.

 

“I think it’s clear.” Jerrie whispered peering over some crates. “Lets move.” Jerrie stood up and frantically ran across the room to the other door. The team followed.

 

Alonzo walked into the unknown room and looked around. When the firing began, everyone ran for safety. “It’s all clear.” Alonzo called.

 

The team all poured into the room. There were large steel doors. They weren’t locked because of the large security they had already had to go through.

 

“Which door?” Bombalurina walked into the room slowly examining the doors.

 

“We can’t risk splitting up. We’ve already lost most of our team in the crash.” Jerrie explained, “We are gonna move through each room and search them inch by inch to figure out what the mutated cats, explosives and recent alliance between China and Montreal has to do with each other.”

 

“I agree, better to know something then nothing.” Teazer nodded.

 

They moved into the first room. There really wasn’t anything in there but medical equipment. Most likely a storage room.

 

The second room was much more interesting. There were medical examining tables, and equipment. Several mingled bodies in crates. Probably failed experiments. There was a computer in there to keep track of the ‘lab rats’ they used. Teazer tapped into the computer and searched to see how many people they had used in experiments. She tried bypassing the passwords, and deactivating security cams in the room.

 

“Well?” Alonzo was anxious to see how many they had to face.

 

“Well according to this computer,” she continued to rapidly tap on the keys, “There have been 142 ‘lab rats’ used.”

 

“142! Wow we are gonna get our asses kicked.” Alonzo began to panic.

 

“Used in this lab.” Teazer looked up at Alonzo form in the chair.

 

“Just in this room?” Alonzo nearly snapped at her.

 

“Look, we need to stay calm. Handle this like we were trained.” Jerrie set a hand on Alonzo’s shoulder.

 

“Yeah…” Alonzo frantically replied, “Yeah…” He added more calm.

 

“These bodies…” Teazer was examining the crates with Bombalurina, “Are so mutated.”

 

“And the smell is so over powering. Decomposing body was never my most favourite smell.” Bombalurina wrinkled her nose.

 

“They have the same characteristics as the ones found in the complex,” Teazer closed the crates, “But obviously these ones didn’t make it out of the lab. Something must have gone wrong.”

 

“But what? There demented as the others, why not survive like the others?” Alonzo asked, “Wait, you searched up how many were put through this process. Look up how many survived it.”

 

Jerrie sat at the computer and tapped away at the keys, “83.” Jerrie leaned back in the chair, “That can only mean one thing.”

 

“Yep. This process is quite risky. Probably the chances are… I don’t know; 2/3 cases survive.” Teazer estimated.

“There must be other rooms that have these files in it. That is probably the most recent update. Download the data. It’s better if we take it with us to Macavity.” Jerrie handed Teazer a CD.

 

“No!” Bombalurina exclaimed.

 

“What?” Jerrie and Teazer both looked over at her.

 

The Tugger was still silent. Just tuning into what was going on.

 

“Macavity maybe someone else.” Alonzo budded in.

 

“What?” Jerrie’s voice seemed far away, as if not understanding.

 

“Plato is Macavity’s best friend. And Plato is the boss of this place. Or so we heard.” Bombalurina finished.

 

“But your not completely positive.” Jerrie looked at them hoping it wasn’t true. That would mean they were working for the side they have been fighting against.

 

“Teazer, still download the data but we won’t give it to Mac yet. Not until we know he isn’t with this team.” Jerrie handed Teazer the disk.

 

“Bombalurina stay with Teazer, we’ll look for more computers to download information from.” Jerrie motioned for Munkustrap and Alonzo to follow him.

 

“Alright Jerr. I’ll stay watch here. Make sure your girl don’t get eaten by mutated cats.” Bombalurina smiled messing up Teazer’s hair.

 

“That wasn’t funny.” Jerrie shock his head.

 

The three toms exited the room.

 

Jerrie, Munkustrap and Alonzo walked into the next room. It was what seemed a data base type room. Exactly what they were looking for.

 

Teazer continued to download the files onto the CD.

 

Bombalurina sat on the desk beside the computer watching Teazer, “So Teazer, how is your relationship with Jerrie going?”

 

“It’s going well.” She replied not taking her eyes off of the screen.

 

“Had anything ‘good’ happen?” Bombalurina asked.

 

Teazer stopped typing and looked up at her.

 

“It’s just a question.” She smiled knowing Teazer would be like, “wtf?”

 

“If you must know yes.” She replied with a smile looking back at the screen and continuing to type.

 

“What are you talking about?” The Tugger requested confused.

 

Bombalurina looked over at him cuffed sitting in a chair, “Girl stuff. Nothing that concerns you lets say.”

 

“I’ve been quite quiet, can you please uncuff me? I’ll still be good.” He pleaded.

 

“I’ll take it too you straight ok.” She slid off of the desk and walked over to him, “Unlike last time, I don’t like you. I do not feel the urge to protect you anymore. There was never anything, there will never be anything.”

 

“What the hell does that have to do with me getting out of these cuffs?” He snapped.

 

“I’m not going to fall into your charming smile like I did before, alright?” She made it simpler for him.

 

He stayed silent, “just because you have a boy friend now doesn’t mean you have to treat me like trash, just because you don’t like me doesn’t mean I don’t like you. Even as a friend,” she knew he felt really hurt, “I never did anything to hurt you, why do you insist in hurting me?” She nearly saw water building up in his eyes. He looked away not wanting her to see him cry.

 

“Tugger… I…”

 

“No. Don’t pity me.” He growled.

 

She sat beside him on a chair, “Tugger,” She whispered, “I never wanted to hurt you… well, not emotionally. I’m sorry.”

 

“Hey it’s ok. Just don’t forget about me ok? I mean, now that you have a boy friend, you need to remember everyone else.” He struggled to hug her still cuffed.

 

She hugged him back, “Tugger I think you’ve taught me a very valuable lesson.”

 

Munkustrap stood with Alonzo at the door of the data base room watching out for coming threats. A slight steel rattling noise split the silence, “I’m on it.” Alonzo cocked his machine gun and walked out of the room to investigate the problem.

 

“Jerrie you almost done? Munkustrap asked.

 

“Yeah, just a few more minutes and all the computers data bases will be loaded onto the CD’s.” He replied keeping an eye on the uploading status.

 

“Jerr have you ever liked Bombalurina?” Munkustrap inquired.

 

“Like as a girl friend?” He replied looking up at Munkustrap.

 

“Yeah.”

 

“No not really. She seemed to… sexy.” Jerrie replied.

 

“And that’s a bad thing why?” Munkustrap looked at him funny.

 

“I like queens that are calm, have an easy going personality but can be quite fun at the same time.” Jerrie smiled thinking about Teazer.

 

“Well I think Bombalurina is great. Beautiful. Elegant. Good taste. My kind of queen.” Munkustrap smiled at the thought of her, “And at times can go a little insane but hey that’s alright with me.” A slight beeping was heard, “What is that?” Munkustrap asked.

 

“There’s an error on the hard drive. I’m going to try and bypass it.”

 

“Hey.” Bombalurina and Teazer walked into the room with the Tugger still cuffed.

 

“Hey babe.” Munkustrap greeted.

 

“Are you done yet Jerrie?” Teazer asked.

 

“No, there’s some kind of virus on this computer.” He replied tapping at the keys discouraged.

 

“Here,“ Teazer pushed Jerrie aside, “Let me try.” She began to fix the hard drive so they could obtain all the files needed.

 

Alonzo returned. “What was it?” Jerrie asked.

 

“A couple of scientists.” He replied, “There’s none left now. I also walked about a bit further. There’s no one here but us.”

 

“Are you sure?” Munkustrap looked surprised.

 

“Yes, I even double checked.” Alonzo added.

 

“Alright, it’s fixed and I have the data.” Teazer held up and disk and Jerrie took it.

 

“We need to keep this confidential. No one must know about the information we have encountered. Also we need to check the last room. And I think we all know what is in that room.” Jerrie looked at his team.

 

They all went and circled the last door. It was much thicker then the others and seemed to have more security.

 

“Yeah we all know what is in this room.” Alonzo replied, “And I am really hoping weren’t not going into this room.”

 

“Sorry Alonzo, we have too.” Jerrie stepped towards the door.

 

Jerrie listened for a moment trying to sence any movement. He slowly opened the door and they could hear menacing snarling and growling.

 

Many steel cages that were somewhat bloody were in the room. Jerrie looked at the cages with a disgusted look. The air reeked of rotting flesh.

 

Alonzo slowly approached the cages. A mutated cat jumped forward in the cage making Jerrie jump away.

 

“Well at least we know that this is where they keep em.” Alonzo pointed out.

 

“Yeah,” Jerrie couldn’t stop staring at the creature that continued to snarl at him. Other creatures were on many cages. The room was huge. Extra metal plating was on the walls and the windows had been sealed shut.

 

“We need the files off the computer there. Shows the status right now I suppose.” Jerrie walked deeper into the room.

 

“Jerr, you may wanna look at this.” Teazer called, “It’s a laptop. Quite expensive one too.” She explained as Jerrie walked over to her. “I’ll need about 20 minutes to get into it. Laptops are harder then computers to crack. More files to go through.” Teazer explained. “Give me some time.”

 

“Alright, while Teazer does that, search the room. Munkustrap watch Tugger.” Jerrie watched as the others went deeper into the room. The Tugger watch Bombalurina walked into the room. He watched her intently. Munkustrap walked in front of his view.

 

“Keep your eyes to yourself.” He grunted.

 

The Tugger looked away.

 

Alonzo walked up to a rectangle crate that was standing. One of the creatures inside attached to wires (supposedly to keep it from dieing).

 

“I wonder… these creatures must need some form of food to survive. Something for them to get strength out of.” Bombalurina said out loud to the other two.

 

“Probably feeds on other living creatures. You know?”  Alonzo suggested.

 

Jerrie looked through the small glass window on a similar to the one Alonzo was looking through, but on a different box, “I can believe that thought.”

 

Teazer was still trying to bypass the codes, but there were more numbers involved with it then any other she had ever done. “Jerrie,” She called.

 

Jerrie came running over, “What?”

 

“This thing has more numerical sentences then a bloody polynomial unit.” She explained. “This damn thing will take days, maybe weeks to crack. We’ll have to take it with us.”

 

Jerrie remanded silent for a moment then said, “Something like that will be hard to hid, especially when we first walk back in.” He thought hard.

He looked over at the Tugger, then back at Teazer. “But were gonna have to take our chances.”

 

Teazer picked up at laptop and put it into her backpack.

 

“Team, lets move out. We’re leaving this place. We’ve covered all the information we need. We’re going out the way we came in.” Jerrie ordered, “Lets move!”

 

6 hours later…

 

After 6 exhausting hours of fighting there way through the building, they managed to get out of the building. They then took shelter in an old building just outside the city.

 

“Alright, now that we’ve secured an area, we need to find a way to contact HQ to get out of here.”  Jerrie sat down somewhat stressed.

 

“I could try and use the Internet waves from the laptop to make a radio from our old ones. There only shocked. Not completely destroyed.” Teazer offered.

 

“Yes, do that.” Jerrie looked up at her. She sat down and started fixing the radios.

 

“Everyone else, get some sleep. Teazer and I will stay up and try and figure out a way out of this city.” Jerrie announced.

 

The team settled in the building while Jerrie and Teazer made an escape route back to HQ.

 

In the morning…

 

Alonzo woke up feeling very uneased. His back hurt from the hard floor. He looked up at Munkustrap and Bombalurina sharing the old couch. Why was it he had to sleep on the floor? He poked Bombalurina on the side of the head, “Eh Bomby, waky waky.”

 

“Errr…” She groaned rubbing her eyes.

 

“Wake up you stupid whore!” He snapped.

 

Munkustrap sat up drowsily, “What?” He grunted.

 

“Nothing honey, just go back to sleep.” Bombalurina yawned pushing Munkustrap back on his back.

 

“Wake up you lazy asses!” Alonzo hissed.

 

“What is your problem?” Munkustrap sat up and glared at Alonzo.

 

“He’s just jealous that we got the couch and he got the floor.” Bombalurina laughed still half asleep.

 

“I don’t think that was fair, but that’s not the point!” Alonzo exclaimed.

 

“How you doing?” Munkustrap asked Bombalurina turning over towards her.

 

“I’m fine.” She purred kissing him, as they usually did every morning.

 

“Oh come on! Stick to the program!” Alonzo snapped.

 

“Alright what is it?” Munkustrap asked after Bombalurina released him.

 

“We need to focus on what really matters.” Alonzo began to freak out.

 

“You mean me?” Bombalurina smiled purring into Munkustrap’s ear. 

 

“NO! Getting the hell out of here!” Alonzo disagreed.

 

Munkustrap looked at Alonzo, “That is a very good option right now. I miss our room Baby, this place smells almost as bad as Mac.”

 

Bombalurina began to laugh.

 

Jerrie walked into the room with Teazer, “We got a radio working.” Jerrie began.

 

“A heli is picking u up in 800 hours.” Teazer added.

 

“What time is it now?” Munkustrap asked as Bombalurina laid back down.

 

Jerrie looked at his watch, “We have half an hour to saddle up before the heli comes.”

 

Bombalurina sat up, “What’s gonna happen to the Tugger?”  She asked.

 

Jerrie looked over at the Tugger sleeping on an old table, “I don’t know. We’re gonna have to take him with us.”

 

Bombalurina stood up, “Haven’t we had enough of that guy already?” She hissed.

 

“Bomby-” Munkustrap began.

 

“Hold on Hun, now we have had him every step of the way on this whole mission. He is most likely a threat.” She hissed.

 

“That’s all good but would you, mind putting your suit back on?” Teazer giggled.

 

Bombalurina looked down at herself. She was wearing her underwear and an undershirt. Thank god she hadn’t worn a thong, otherwise she really would have been embarrassed. She walked over and put her suit on. “Come Munkus, we should get our things,”

 

Munkustrap followed her towards his suit.

 

“While they do that we should get our things, Alonzo could you wake Tugger for us?” Teazer asked as she and Jerrie exited the room.

 

Alonzo began to walk over to where the Tugger slept, “I’m starting to like this Tugger guy more then them.”

 

25 minutes later…

 

“Where are they?” Alonzo growled.

 

“It’s only been 25 minutes relax.” Jerrie replied smoothly.

 

They could hear a heli in the distance.

 

“Alright people, lets send up the flares.” Jerrie ordered.

 

Bombalurina and Teazer sent up the flares into the sky for the heli to see. Soon after they could see the heli coming towards them.

 

“Lets go people.” Jerrie smiled happy to be going back to HQ. “Teazer keep that equipment hidden.”

 

“I know. I will.” She replied going towards the heli that had now landed a couple meters away.

 

Back at HQ…

 

The team walked into HQ. Munkustrap sighed relived.

 

“Don’t worry Munkus baby… we can be free here. Well as free as free gets here.” She smiled hugging him.

 

The Tugger watched them jealously.

 

“Tugger, you wouldn’t be Jealous now would you?” Alonzo laughed.

 

“I am not!” He snapped back at him.

 

Alonzo began to snicker.

 

“Lets go back to our room.” Munkustrap smiled at Bombalurina, “We can do something there.”

 

She smiled back at him and replied, “Yes Munkustrap. Lets go.” They both walked down the hall hand in hand.

 

The Tugger glared at them. He hated the way she made him feel, but when she was around him she always made him go crazy. He was determined to stop them from liking each other.

 

At Bombalurina and Munkustrap’s room…

 

Bombalurina walked into her room. Munkustrap had moved in with her. She liked her room so he agreed to stay with her. Of course they had to get a bigger bed.

 

“So Munkustrap, what did you want to do. There’s really not that much we can do.” She sat on their bed.

 

“Well…” He sat beside her and set his hand on her leg, “I had something in mind.”

 

She smiled and kissed him, “Munkustrap…” She asked as e began to push her on her back.

 

“Yes.” He stopped and looked at her.

 

“I would like a shower first. If that’s alright.”

 

“Of course.” He let her up.

 

“Don’t worry, I’ll be in a better mood after my shower.”  She smiled kissing him on the cheek.  Munkustrap was not a demanding tom in relationships, but he wanted what any other tom wanted. He didn’t demand it. He could wait. He laid down on the bed.

 

Bombalurina took of her suit and everything else and put on her robe. “I’ll be back in 15-20 minutes, alright?” She purred bringing her hand down his chest.

 

“Yep, I’ll wait here.”

 

She walked down the hallway towards the showers. She had to walk by the prison cells in order to get to the showers. She didn’t go in though, she knew better.

 

The Tugger could hear footsteps but he didn’t take much notice. He sat against the thick rock wall and glared at the bars. They had been generous enough to give him the same cell.

 

A tom that was brown and black walked into the room and opened the cell. The Tugger looked up at him. He looked back at the Tugger and set down a plate of food. The Tugger didn’t seem at all amused by the food.

 

“Macavity will be in shortly.” The Tom said lowly.

 

The Tugger didn’t seem interested in what the tom said. The tom nodded at him as if saying good-bye and left the room securely locking the cell behind him.

 

In the queens locker room…

 

Bombalurina felt the soothing warm water slid down her body and enjoyed its warmth.

 

She heard soft footsteps in the room but didn’t take much notice. She thought it would be another queen coming to shower or what not. But it wasn’t. The misty curtain was swooshed open Bombalurina let out a scream and grabbed the curtain and covered herself. In horror she looked at the tom standing in front of her.

 

“Macavity! You fucking pervert!” She hissed backing closer into the corner of her small shower.

Look, I didn’t just come in here to see you naked, not that that’s not pleasing me,” He looked her up and down. She scowled at him, “Come I need you for more then that.” He gave her a towel.

 

She watched him angrily. She wrapped the towel around herself and growled deeply.

 

“Well come on princess.” He grabbed her by the arm roughly and dragged her out of the queen’s locker room. He dragged her down the hallway passed a few other cats,

 

“Let me go you sicko!” She hissed trying to squirm away. He grasped her wrist harder, “Ow…” She groaned softly. They entered the prison hold and Macavity pushed her forward and snapped,

 

“So Bomby, this is the Tom that has caused us, you, quite some trouble.”

 

The Tugger looked at Bombalurina very uncomfortably since she was wrapped in a towel dripping wet.

 

“Trouble am I? If you ask me-” The Tugger was cut off by a guard pointing a gun at him.

 

Macavity looked at Bombalurina, “Well?” He snapped.

 

She looked at him, “Yes.” She said in a Russian accent. 

 

“I never knew you were Russian, you hide it well.” The Tugger smiled.

 

“Yes well I usually cover it up with my American accent so no one knows.” She growled still in the Russian accent.

 

“Russian’s are sexy!” The Tugger smiled his eyes widening as her towel began to slip down.

 

“Shut up.” The guard growled.

 

“This tom knows far to much. We need to ether keep him here or, stop it all here.” Macavity walked around Bombalurina.

 

“You mean kill me?” The Tugger swallowed hard.

 

“Of course that’s what he ment you idiot.” Bombalurina snapped as she stopped using the accent.

 

“Keep your mouth shut Red.” Macavity glared at her.

 

“Well you weren’t just jumped in the shower, seen naked by your boss, dragged down a hallway half naked in front of other cats that you work with and now standing in front of prisoners pretty much nude!” She angrily glared at him.

 

“It could have been worse.” A guard replied after a moment of silence.

 

“And how so?” She snapped at him.

 

“Look, now all of just shut up, you two secure the Tugger, you escort Bombalurina to her room.” Macavity ordered.

 

When the tom came to take her arm to escort her to her she slapped his hand and said, “Don’t touch me!” The tom gave her a funny look, “I can escort myself.”

 

Munkustrap ran in with Teazer beside him, Teazer had told Munkustrap that she saw Macavity dragging Bombalurina very roughly into the prison hold.

 

“Bombalurina!” He ran over to her still dripping wet, “What happened?”

 

“Never mind.” She stormed passed him out of the room leaving a trail of water behind her.

 

Munkustrap shot Macavity a look of disgust.

 

“Watch yourself brother!” Macavity warned.

 

“No you watch yourself!” Munkustrap pointed a finger at Macavity. He turned around and stomped out of the room.

 

Macavity shook his head and left the room as well as the other 5 toms locked the Tugger back up and stayed guard.

 

“Baby what happened?” Munkustrap asked closing the door behind him as they entered their room.

 

“Your brother is what happened.” She growled deeply as she searched her drawer for her pajamas.

 

Munkustrap walked behind her as she slipped her pants on, “What did he do?”

 

“Well to start off,” She began as she slid her silky shirt on to match her silky pants, “He jumped me in the shower. Then dragged me down a hallway half naked and then brought me to the prison hold.”

 

He hugged her from behind, “Don’t worry I’ll kick his ass next time I see him.” He purred as she rubbed the arms that embraced her.

 

“Munkus,” She smiled looking up a bit.

 

“Yes?” He replied biting her ears.

 

“I’ve made you wait long enough.” She walked out of his arms.

 

He smiled and followed her towards the bed. She lay on her back and smiled at him sitting up slightly. He slid on top of her and rubbed his face against her shoulder and across her chest. Her purr sounded like a motor. She rolled her head back in the sensation she felt.

 

“Just relax… He purred into her ear laying her down completely working his pants off. She bit her lip at his first touch then slowly slipped away into him.

 

In Macavity’s office…

 

“Tell me private, how did your little mission go.” Macavity asked Mungojerrie as Jerrie sat down in front of his desk.

 

“Horrible we found nothing of importance.” He replied trying his best to sound as if he wasn’t lying.

 

Macavity smiled at him, “You are such a bad liar Lieutenant. You really need to learn a thing or two about lying.”

 

“So do you. You’re lying that you think I’m lying.” Jerrie stood up and then added, “I’m sorry sir but I have some things I need to attend.” Jerrie exited the room hoping he hadn’t given Macavity to many ideas.

 

In the detention room…

 

The detention room is where the cats would go when they were to be disciplined or talked to very well.

 

“Tell me Tugger, what happened throughout your time with Phoenix?” A cat that was asking questions.

 

“Well, I met this beautiful red cat.” He smiled.

 

“Cut the crap we wanna know everything you know.” Another tom snapped.

 

“All that really happened was that they found information about this plan 67 and what not, but I still don’t know what that is. They never actually showed me the paper work.” He replied.

 

“What was there on your last mission?” The tom asked having already asked the others.

 

 

“Nothing really just some scientists, nothing serious.” He stretched out very calmly.

 

“The others said the place was dead.” The tom looked at him suspiciously.

 

The Tugger swallowed hard but silently.

 

“Why were there scientist? Why would they need them there?” They asked him.

 

“Well…um… I kinda made that up, the part about the scientists. I was trying to get uh… Munkustrap in trouble.” The Tugger scratched the back of his head.

 

“Why is that?” The tom inquired.

 

“Because he stole my woman!” The Tugger snapped standing up.

 

“Please sit down Tugger.” The tom motioned for him to sit down.

 

The Tugger sat down somewhat angry.

 

“Tell us about this queen that Munkustrap stole from you.” The Tom began to jot down notes.

 

“I met her first in the café down town New Jersey. She had gone with team 36706 to kill Admetus and me. But she didn’t have time to kill me. She managed to kill Admetus though.” He thought back to those few months ago. “She hated me after she met my father, but I never even knew him… it wasn’t my fault.” The Tugger became angry again.

 

The tom nodded. “Ok, now tell us more about the mission you went on with her.” The tom continued to jot down notes.

 

“She kissed me…” He softly replied.

 

“Pardon?” The tom asked.

 

The Tugger looked up at her, “She kissed me.”

 

“You must feel very special.” The tom nodded.

 

The Tugger shot the tom a angry look, “Anyways, that’s all I have.”

 

“Are you sure?” The tom asked.

 

“I never thought I’d be so honest with you guys.” The Tugger looked kinda shocked with himself.

 

“Alright, take him to his cell.” The tom looked down at his notes.

 

The other tom took the Tugger back to his cell.

 

A few hours later…

 

Munkustrap rolled off of Bombalurina and breathed heavily. Bombalurina felt very weak and exhausted (but not in a bad way).  She slowly pulled the blankets over her body and sighed dreamily. Munkustrap leaned over and asked, “Are you alright?”

 

She smiled up at him, “Yes Munkus, I’ve never felt better. You make me feel wonderful.” She leaned forward and kissed him.

 

He looked down her body, “You have such elegant curves.” He set his head on her chest watching her watch him.

 

“Thank you…” She purred and exhaled deeply.

 

Munkustrap stood up and slid his boxers on. Bombalurina watched him smirking.  “You have such a muscular body.” Bombalurina smirked.

 

He looked at her being covered by their silky sheets they used for ‘special occasions’, “you got a lot of stuff most queens only wish they had.”

 

She laughed and rolled over on her back, “I know!”

 

The Tugger was asleep on the rock floor drooling… A snarling noise was heard he sat up in horror, “What was that?” He looked really scared. He stood up and looked around the room vigilantly. He heard the snarl again, it sounded more distant this time. He sighed relieved but then thought, “I’m still not safe…” Then a massive thing jumped at the cage blood dripping from its mouth and snarling. It made the Tugger fly back hitting the rock floor quite hard. “Oh god…” He thought, “It can’t be!”

 

Munkustrap slid on some cloths and stretched out. Bombalurina exhaled happily. She had never known a tom that could make her that tired (in fact every tom she had slept with never made her tired, she always made them tired).

 

She slid off the bed and walked over to the dresser and put a t-shirt and jeans on. She looked up looking confused.

 

“What’s wrong?” Munkustrap looked at her wanting to know.

 

“Something’s wrong.” She replied softly.

 

The Alarms started blaring. She ran over to the bedside and pulled her magnum out of her drawer. She kept it there for safety reasons. She opened their door and walked outside cautiously. Munkustrap followed closing the door. “Bomby, I’m unarmed. We need to go to the armory.”

 

They both heard a snarl from down the hall. They both snapped their heads in that direction. They couldn’t see anything but they knew something was down there.

 

“Oh you have to be shitting me!” Munkustrap hissed beginning to go towards the armory.

 

Bombalurina took a step forward and exclaimed softly, “But how?” Munkustrap grabbed her by the arm and pulled her down the hall,

 

“Common!”

 

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer were in the armory with a few other cats like Demeter, Alonzo, Cassandra (another female combat cat) ECT.

 

Munkustrap walked into the room and all the cats that were there jumped forward aiming at Munkustrap, Munkustrap put his hands in the air and snapped, “Shit! Maybe I was safer outside.”

 

“Munkus! There you are!” Jerrie gave him a brotherly hug, “Where’s Bomby?”

 

“Right here.” She replied puffing from her cigarette.

 

“I thought you stopped smoking?” Teazer looked at her shocked.

 

“I did, but I really need it.” She took another puff.

 

Cassandra glared at Bombalurina as she walked by her. They hated each other. It was very plain to see. That’s why they were no longer on the same team.

 

“Ok, Arm yourselves.” Jerrie ordered. Bombalurina casually walked over to the table selecting her favourite gun, the AK 47.

 

It somewhat surprised the other cats because she usually was greatly excited when she would receive her gun to kill people with.

 

Cassandra walked over to Bombalurina and smiled a type of hatful grin, “Hey Bomby, how was your night with Munkus?”

 

“It was alright.” She replied putting the cigarette between her lips while loading her AK 47.

 

“I’m sure he wasn’t the only one in there with you.” She mocked her.

 

Bombalurina turned to face Cassandra and smiled, “Your just jealous,” she then puffed in more of the cigarette and blew it in Cassandra’s face. Cassandra coughed as she tried to catch her breath. Bombalurina shook her head and walked away.

 

“Alright that’s enough ladies.” Jerrie knew they would do nothing but argue if he didn’t do something ahead of time. Bombalurina hip bumped Cassandra as she walked over to Munkustrap.

 

“Alright, listen up. What we’re dealing with people, is not cat.” Jerrie looked a but afraid.

 

Cassandra laughed, “Shut your face.” Bombalurina hissed.

 

“How can it not be cat?” Cassandra ignored Bombalurina’s comment.

 

“Well…” Jerrie knew he was going to sound stupid, “It’s a mutated cat, in fact it’s Pouncival.”

 

Bombalurina dropped her cigarette knowing what was going on, “But… he… that… what….” She was baffled by this sudden change.

 

“Yes,” Jerrie began, “Pouncival has mutated like the sudden discovery of what we know as plan 67.”

 

Bombalurina picked her cigarette back up and started smoking it again, “This sucks so much.” She hissed.

 

“You so suck so much.” Cassandra mocked.

 

“Wow, you really suck at insults.” Bombalurina cocked a brow at Cassandra.

 

“Stop arguing!” Jerrie snapped.

 

“Yes! Your both giving me a headache!” Alonzo hissed.

 

Cassandra gave Bombalurina a dirty looked, but Bombalurina just looked away.

 

“Anyways, we need to be sharp. You don’t want to be infected by him. Or else you’ll turn too.” Jerrie warned. “Now lets all hold this room until we are able to evacuate the building ok?”

 

“Sure whatever as long as you make sure Bombalurina isn’t near any toms in the time being.” Cassandra flicked her wrist at Jerrie.

 

Bombalurina laughed, “Cass, you have such a good sence of humor! Which makes up for the lack of intelligence.”

 

Cassandra hissed at Bombalurina.

 

“Stop it or both of you will be executed.” Jerrie warned.

 

2 hours later…

 

Bombalurina sat very bored beside Munkustrap. No one had heard anything since when Bombalurina and Munkustrap had first arrived.

 

Jerrie walked back into the armory after having done a quick sweep of the area, “I think it’s safe to say we’re ok, for the moment…”

 

“No really?” Alonzo sassed.

 

Jerrie looked at Alonzo, “Well it’s better to be safe then sorry.”

 

Bombalurina and Munkustrap stood up arming themselves, “So are we evacuating now?” Munkustrap inquired.

 

Jerrie nodded, “We need to go now, while that thing isn’t near the doors.”

 

Munkustrap nodded. The cats that were left began moving towards the door. “It’s weird though…” Alonzo began, “Those creatures are like almost programmed to attack anything that lives, with a living organic system, right?”

 

Jerrie gave him a funny look, “Yeah, so?”

 

“That thing would have found us and kill all of us by now. Why didn’t it come looking for us?” Alonzo seemed quite afraid.

 

“Maybe because it didn’t know where we were.” Cassandra replied.

 

“No, like I said, it’s almost like it’s programmed to find us. Maybe it has some kind of tracking device in it’s system.” Alonzo replied.

 

“Not tracking device, heat seeking abilities.” Rumpelteazer’s voice came into the conversation.

 

“What?” Alonzo looked over at her typing at the laptop they had recovered from the last mission.

 

“The mutation enables them to seek body heat from half a mile away.” She replied persistently tapping on the keys.   

 

“You got into the laptop?” Jerrie asked.

 

Rumpelteazer ignored his question for a moment then replied, “Yes.”

 

“How much information is in there?” He inquired.

 

“You’ll have to give me some more time. There’s so much information in this thing that it will take me a while to get through all of it.” She looked up only to look at the screen to make sure all was going well.

 

“Wait… if you didn’t get attacked by that thing while were securing the area let alone being found by that thing, where is it?” Alonzo looked quite afraid.

 

Jerrie knew what Alonzo ment and hoped to the everlasting cat Alonzo was wrong, “We need not think of that now, for now we need to get the hell out of here.” Jerrie motioned for everyone else to follow him.

 

They walked through the complex carefully and slowly. When they reached the quarantine door they noticed the security system had been destroyed, as if pulled apart by something very strong.

 

“That can’t be too good.” Alonzo broke the silence pointing at the ripped wires coming out of the wall where a metal panel had been protecting them safely.

 

“No it can’t be to good.” Munkustrap looked a bit shocked.

 

“Guys, that panel was the main security system of the facility.” Rumpelteazer looked at the panel.

 

“So?” Jerrie asked.

 

“That means any prisoners we had, are now out.” She looked back at everyone else.

 

Bombalurina looked at her very angry, “So that means the Tugger is bound to come and find us.”

 

“Hey everyone!” The Tugger’s voice seemed quite happy to see them. Everyone turned and aimed their firearm, “Shit!” He jumped back falling over.

 

Jerrie helped him up.

 

“This day just got worse! All over again!” Bombalurina hissed.

 

“Why is it whenever I’m around you get all bitchy and sassy!” The Tugger walked straight up to her.

 

“Because you make things an ass end of a very bad day!” She hissed pushing him away.

“Enough! Lets just focus on getting out of here!” Jerrie pulled Bombalurina away as she growled at him as he pushed her.

 

As they exited the building the air smelt of rotting flesh. That could only mean one thing: the virus was spreading and spreading incredibly fast.

 

“Well as I said, things get worse as the Tugger arrives.” Bombalurina crossed her arms.

 

The Tugger walked behind her, “Common you know you love it when I’m around, you love how I drive you crazy.” He smiled dirtily at her. “Crazy in more then one way.”

 

“Oh shut up!” She swatted at him.

 

Munkustrap dislike the Tugger attempting to flirt with ‘his’ queen. He walked in front of the Tugger. “Keep your eyes to yourself, boy.”

 

The Tugger scowled at Munkustrap. “I can stare at whatever I want to stare at.” He began to stare at Bombalurina allowing himself to stare at her in places he knew she would have killed him for having stared at

 

Munkustrap punched the Tugger in the jaw sending him to the ground hard. Jerrie lent out a hand to help the Tugger, “No leave him.” Munkustrap ordered, “He is not part of this corporation. He doesn’t deserve to be helped up. Nor does he deserve to be walking along side you me or anyone else here.”

 

Jerrie understood his anger but also understood that without their help The Tugger was as good as dead right there and then. “I understand that your angry, but we need to remember that he knows to much and he needs to stay with us for the sake of this corporation.” Jerrie tried to explain.

 

“Our corporation? In case you haven’t noticed but most of our corporation is dead.” Demeter finally spoke. She was a nurse in the facility.

 

“Can we please just keep walking?” Bombalurina hissed. They all began to walk with the Tugger beside Jerrie, his face covered in blood. A few minutes down the road and they found a dead corps.

 

“Shit, the virus is spreading. I was hoping we were wrong and it hadn’t escaped the building.” Jerrie knelt beside the body.

The Tugger looked at Bombalurina. She looked back at him. He had changed since she had last been with him. He seemed more aggressive. More of a snob. Just plain rude. He used to be a kind tom, a tom that she hated to admit, that she actually loved.

 

He felt that she had changed. Become more of a bitch. Become angrier. More seductive ever since she had met Munkustrap.  Not that the Tugger didn’t find that a problem.

 

They found a stopped bus in the middle of the road near there. It was obvious that the creature had made them pull over and he had killed everyone aboard. But the question was, where was everyone that had been aboard?

 

Alonzo and Bombalurina checked out the interior of the bus while everyone else searched the area. After a very long search of the area it seemed very clear that whatever had been killed was now gone, which didn’t make much sence until they went back to Jerrie’s theory of everyone else turning too.

 

“Well, since we have no other transportation I guess we’ll all have to use this bus.” Jerrie explained. “Bombalurina, since you’re the best driver here, I guess you’ll be driving.”  Jerrie knew he’d regret making that decision.

 

Bombalurina jumped into the bus and sat in the drivers seat. All the cats walked by her and grabbed seats. “All aboard the bus to hell.” Bombalurina moaned. As she turned the key, the engine made a loud bang noise. “Oh Common!” She yelled. She stood up and looked around the bus, “Who here as a degree in engineering?” No one answered until the Tugger raised his hand. She hated to have to work with him but she knew he probably wasn’t lying. “Come on then.” She motioned for him to follow her.

 

When they went out side and opened the hood a cloud of pure black smoke came out. Bombalurina coughed relentlessly. The Tugger covered his nose and mouth with a cloth he had in his pocket. “That can’t be a good sign.” He peered into the hood.

“No shit captain wow!” Bombalurina hissed spitting on the ground.

 

The Tugger looked at her as if thinking, “What class…” After about 5 minutes of him inspecting the bus he remorsed, “I can’t see anything wrong with it.”

 

“Watch out.” She moved him out of the way with one hand. She leaned peering into the bus engine. She stood up straight and looked at him very angrily, “You can’t see what wrong?”

 

He shook his head.

 

“You’re a dumb ass.” She leaned into the bus again, “You couldn’t see this stick in the engine?” She added holding a fairly large stick.

 

He felt so stupid. “I’m sorry, I guess I was so wound up thinking about how much I like you that I didn’t notice that huge stick in the engine.” He put his hands in his pockets.

 

“You are a fool Tugger, but I guess that is what makes you have that allure.”  She set her hand on his shoulder, “Now get in the bus.” She went to work trying to patch up the dents in the engine. He nodded and walked back onto the bus.

 

The air was damp and very thick. It seemed quite the creepy type of scene.

 

Bombalurina walked onto the bus, “I think we’re ok now.”

“That’s good.” Munkustrap smiled at her.

 

She sat back down in the driver and started to bus. It worked now. That was a good thing. That ment they had a chance to make it out of the area, alive anyways. Bombalurina pressed down on the gas and began to drive. Munkustrap walked to the front of the bus and stood beside her. “Can I help you sir?” She asked.

 

“Yeah, where are we going?” He asked.

 

“Next stop hell.” She announced honking the horn. Munkustrap sat at the front seat.

 

“But seriously, where are we going?” He inquired. Mungojerrie came beside her.

 

“That’s a good question.” Jerrie pointed out. “Where are we going?”

 

Rumpelteazer ran to the front of the bus, “May I point out your not suppose to stand up while the bus is moving?” Bombalurina snapped playfully.

 

“Guys, I got into the laptop.” She announced to the three.

 

“That’s great and all but I’m still the driving a bus.” Bombalurina replied.

 

“Yeah, anyways, Jerrie and Alonzo were right about them needing to feed.” Teazer began.

 

“It wasn’t hard to figure that out.” Bombalurina narrowed her eyes still looking ahead.

 

Teazer added, “And I know how we can track Pouncival.”

 

“How?” Munkustrap asked.

 

“Well you all know how we have tracking nodes implanted in our head.” Teazer reminded them.

 

“Yeah so?” Jerrie asked, “Even if we were able to track Pouncival, the tracking system for the nodes have overloaded. They were at HQ.”

 

“Yes, but you keep forgetting I’m a computer genius.” Teazer pulled out a cd.

 

“You mean computer nerd.” Bombalurina mumbled.

 

“Does that have the tracking system on it?” Jerrie asked pointing at the mysterious cd.

 

“Yes. But I need to download it into the laptop.” Teazer began.

 

“No!” Bombalurina pushed on the brakes making them skid on the road, sending a lot of the cats forward out of their seats, including the Teazer, Munkustrap and Jerrie.

 

“What?” Teazer asked, “Why did you stop?”

 

“Are you crazy! Insane?” Bombalurina stood up.

 

“What’s wrong?” Jerrie asked helping Munkustrap up.

 

“You claim to be a computer ‘genius’ but you are doing the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen!” Bombalurina pointed a finger at Teazer.

 

“Excuse me?” Teazer looked offended.

 

“If you download that system onto that laptop, you’ll make the system on the laptop crash. That thing is already holding more then it should be and you’ll cause an overload from the data from the tracking system.” Bombalurina sat back down.

 

“Whoa, whoa hold on, she’s right.” Jerrie looked at Teazer, “It’s kinda like a fusion reactor. If it sets off, everything goes down with it. We’d loose everything on the laptop.” Teazer nodded understanding.

 

“Then how are we suppose to track Pouncival without the system?” Munkustrap questioned.

 

“The old fashioned way, look.” Bombalurina answered starting to drive again.

 

“Bombalurina, don’t stop driving, we need to get to cover.” Jerrie made out shakily.

 

“What’s wrong?” Teazer asked knowing she really didn’t want to know.

 

“I just saw something in the forest over there. Something big, and I really don’t wanna know what it was.” Jerrie looked a bit frightened.

 

Bombalurina remained silent for a moment then stated, “Their mutating further.”

 

“You know, as if we weren’t scared enough, you have to go and make it worse!” Alonzo snapped joining the group at the front.

 

“Oh look who it is, it’s Dr. Stupid…” Bombalurina didn’t seem too happy to see him.

 

Alonzo narrowed his eyes, “Look who it is, Ms. Slut…”

 

“Shut up!” Bombalurina snapped.

 

“Yeah, anyways…” Munkustrap didn’t want to listen to one of their arguments.

 

“Ok, before I completely loose it where do you want me to go?” Bombalurina inquired.

 

Jerrie looked at everyone, “Does anyone know a safe place to go?”

“There’s my place. A reasonably big house might I add.” The Tugger stood up.

 

Bombalurina rolled her eyes, “Yes, as if we want to go to your house.”

 

“No wait, Tugger how big is your house?” Jerrie requested.

 

“I dunno. Big. I mean, takes me 2 minutes to get to the other side.” He shrugged.

 

“In other words, if your sober it would take a matter of seconds.” Bombalurina began to sound rather rude.

 

“Bomby, for once in your life shut up! Ok?” Jerrie growled.

 

“I can’t shut up, it’s like my favourite thing to do, next to being a total bitch, and we all know how the Tugger loves it when I’m a bitch.” She sarcastically replied.

 

Jerrie looked at her for a moment somewhat shocked but then added, “Yeah so Tugger, would your house be big enough to fit everyone in it?”

 

“Yep.” The Tugger nodded, “I mean you could fit more if you need to.”

 

“Alright, we’re going to the Tugger’s place.” Jerrie looked out the window shield.

 

“And now where’s that?” Bombalurina questioned.

 

“It’s near the café where we first met.” Tugger smiled. “That was a great day. Changed me completely.”

 

Bombalurina rolled her eyes.

 

“I know how to get there from here.” Teazer began, “It’s a couple hours away.”

 

“Ok, settle up for a long ride.” Jerrie moaned. How he hated long car rides. Especially when it was for a useless cause. Which it was… to go to the Tugger’s place wasn’t his idea of a great day ether.

 

 Several Hours later…

 

They were outside the café now, and the Tugger started giving directions to his place. “Ok now turn right here, there’s my house.” He nodded.

 

“My god, it is big.” Bombalurina was stunned it was a big house!

 

The Tugger walked up beside her as she stood up, “I told you I wasn’t lying.”

 

“You didn’t say you weren’t lying.” She argued.

 

“Oh boy here we go…” Alonzo moaned.

 

“Well you should have known I wasn’t lying.” The Tugger continued walking.

 

 

“You suck…” Bombalurina growled.

 

Munkustrap stood up beside her, “It’s ok.” He padded her back, “He just likes to mess with you.”

 

“He also likes to screw her.” Alonzo snickered.

 

“I’m sure you do too…” Bombalurina snapped, “But just like the Tugger it will never happen.”

 

“That’s a lot off my mind.” Munkustrap whipped his forehead.

 

“Munkus!” She slapped his chest playfully. “Common…” She walked out of the bus with Alonzo and Munkus behind her. They walked through the broken gates and up the long, long drive way.

 

They went into the Tugger’s house. It was surprisingly clean. Not what you’d expect from a tom like him.

 

“Ok, this is my house, and uh, there’s a lot here. There’s a bathroom a kitchen, an armory,” he looked at Bombalurina, “And of course my bed room.” She rolled her eyes.

 

“Wait, did you say an armory?” Jerrie asked.

 

“Yep. A lot of guns in there.”  The Tugger sat lazily on his couch, “You can go see if you want.”

 

“Where is it?” Bombalurina asked.

 

“Well,” He sat up a bit more, “There’s a map of the place over there.” He pointed to the wall with a map.

 

“Why can’t you just take us there?” Jerrie asked.

 

“Because I don’t feel like taking you there.” The Tugger smirked.

 

“Ok, everyone we’re going to the armory. Now we need to make fencing around this place.” Jerrie resumed command.

 

“This place already has 10 feet brick walls around it. And 1 foot thick. I think we’ll be ok.” The Tugger smiled getting up and walking to the bar in the room.

 

“What about those gates? I think we may have a problem with those.” Jerrie spoke.

 

The Tugger poured some scotch into a glass, “Well I guess we’ll have to set up some remote sentry gun’s out there.”

 

“Alright, everyone come with me, except Alonzo and Bombalurina, you guys stay and accompany the Tugger here.”  Jerrie motioned for the rest to follow him.

Bombalurina sat on the couch. Alonzo stood by the door keeping an eye out for anymore of those things. The Tugger walked over to the couch with his scotch and sat beside Bombalurina, “So… how you doing?”

 

“I’m fine.” She didn’t seem too interested in talking to him.

 

“That’s cool. Alonzo how you doing?” The Tugger called into the next room where Alonzo was.

 

“How am I doing? Besides being attacked by cannibal cats that are mutated beyond belief I’m having an overall good day.”  Alonzo replied.

 

 The Tugger set his hand on Bombalurina’s leg, “You are so beautiful.” She moved his hand away, “Common I know you like it when I touch you.” He kissed her shoulder.

 

“Tugger stop.” She was trying to remain calm.

 

“You are gorgeous.” He smiled kissing her neck.

 

“Would you stop! I already am dating another!” She snapped standing to her feet. Munkustrap walked into the room. He did not trust the Tugger so he had decided to head back. He walked over to Bombalurina.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“Nothing.” She seemed very distressed.

 

Munkustrap looked at the Tugger. He seemed pretty happy. “Tugger, are you drunk?”

 

“I dunno…” The Tugger stood up and fell on his butt, “Is everyone ok?” He asked.

 

“Yeah your drunk. Lets get you to your room.” Munkustrap helped lift him up. “Your bed room is up stairs right?”

 

“Oh yes, a very lovely place up there.” The Tugger slurred his words.

 

“Bombalurina would you help me? This guy is heavy for a skinny guy.” Munkustrap struggled to keep the Tugger from falling to the ground. Bombalurina helped the Tugger stay up.

 

As they entered the bedroom, after having to struggle to get the Tugger up the stairs the Tugger grabbed Bombalurina’s chest. “Nice tits very firm, are the real?” He smiled.

 

“Fuck you!” She slapped him.

 

“Stop it Tugger, that’s very rude! And very offending to some people!” Munkustrap shoved the Tugger onto the bed pointing a gun to him.

 

“I’m sorry Munkus, I didn’t mean to offend you and your fake tits.” The Tugger slurred again.

 

“Common Munkus lets just go.” She took his hand and brought him with her. They walked down the stairs hand in hand and sat together on the couch.

 

“I’m sorry he grabbed your chest.” Munkustrap took Bombalurina’s hand and stroked it.

 

“Don’t worry about it.” She smiled, “Besides, it’s not like you’ve never done that.” She smiled at him with a crocked smile.

 

“Yes well…” Munkustrap scratched the back off his head not really knowing what to say.

 

“It’s alright Munkus, I love you. It doesn’t bother me.” She put her leg over his.

 

Munkustrap smiled, “Bomby, I think we should wait for that, don’t you?” He kissed her hand.

 

“Your right.” She moved her leg. “So now what?”

 

“We wait for the others to come back with the things.” He replied.

 

Jerrie and the others looked around the armory. It was half as good as the one at HQ, which was very good, but also bad. Which ment that the organization the Tugger had worked for was very professional. They all grabbed many guns and many sentinel guns. Also a lot of ammo so they wouldn’t need to come back to soon.

 

When they entered the large living room again, there was Bombalurina and Munkustrap on the couch kissing with Munkustrap’s hand in her shirt. “What a surprised.” Jerrie mumbled.

 

“Ok, we’re back.” Teazer announced coming into the room. Bombalurina and Munkustrap looked at the others. Munkustrap slipped his hand out of Bombalurina’s shirt.

 

“Where’s Alonzo?” Jerrie asked.

 

“He’s guarding the door.” Bombalurina replied playing with Munkustrap’s fur.

 

“I’m here I’m here.” Alonzo walked out of the kitchen where the door was.

 

“Was there anything out there?” Jerrie asked.

 

“Not yet.” He replied kinda frowning.

 

“Ok, everyone lets set up those remote sentry’s now before anything comes.” Jerrie walked into the kitchen with a few other toms behind him.

 

Alonzo sat beside Bombalurina, “I am so bored.” He stretched out.

 

“Why don’t you turn on the TV?” Bombalurina asked.

 

“Where’s the remote?” He asked.

Cassandra looked around for a remote. “Here.” She handed it to Alonzo.

 

“Thanks sweet thing.” Alonzo smiled. It was obvious that Alonzo and Cass really liked each other.

 

“Bomby, where’s the Tugger?” Demeter asked.

 

“He got drunk so we sent him to his room.” She looked kinda mad just thinking about it.

 

“What did he do?” Demeter frowned.

 

“Nothing.” Bombalurina stood up and walked over to Demeter, “Let’s get something to eat, shall we?” Demeter nodded following her into the kitchen.

 

Alonzo turned on the Tv, “There is no information as to what these creatures are, but what we do know is the feed on living flesh.” The reporter spoke.

 

“Oh my god, this is spreading fast…”Alonzo moaned.

 

“As if this day couldn’t get any worse.” Bombalurina looked at them through the open window that led from the kitchen to the living room, while she ate some ice cream.

 

 “Well, there’s not too much we can really do.” Demeter frowned.

 

Teazer was still playing around with the laptop. “Teazer are you able to access anything in that now?”

 

“Yes, but some things are password protected and I’m just deactivating that now. Done. Why?” Teazer looked at her.

 

“I’d like to have a look at that after.” Bombalurina set the spoon back into the ice cream container. “Dem, wanna come with me and find some more fitting cloths?”

 

“Yes, that sounds quite arousing.” Demeter smiled following Bombalurina up the stairs. Demeter walked over to a closed door.

 

“Don’t open that!” Bombalurina exclaimed.

 

“Why not?” Demeter questioned.

 

“Cause we locked the Tugger in there.”

 

“Oh ok.”

 

“Let’s try this room then, ok?” Bombalurina opened the door to another room. It was another bedroom. “This must be the guest room.” Bombalurina walked along the soft carpet.

 

“Yeah, this place looks so clean. Do you think he had a maid?” Demeter walked over to the dresser.

 

“I dunno. Probably.” Bombalurina opened the closet.

 

“Hey I found some dresses… wait… these aren’t dresses.” Bombalurina backed up.

 

“What are they?” Demeter inquired. “Lingerie?”

 

Bombalurina nodded, “Lets avoid that closet.”

 

“Agreed.” Demeter continued to look through the drawers. Bombalurina walked to her side and browsed through the drawers as well.

 

Bombalurina found some nice wind pants and a black long sleeved that she just rolled the sleeves up.

 

Demeter found some gray sweat pants and a white t-shirt. As the were both unchanging from their suits Alonzo opened the door, “Bomby? Dem?”

 

“Ah! Pig get out!” Demeter snapped.

 

“Pervert!” Bombalurina hissed.

 

“Oh…” He now noticed they were unchanging. From the fact they were in there bras kinda gave it away. “Ok, ok I’m going!” He snapped as they began to throw stuff at him. “Wow!” He looked shocked after he closed the door.

 

“What a perv…” Bombalurina growled pulling the pants on.

 

“Yeah, some people…” Demeter grunted pulling the shirt over her head. After they had changed they walked back down stairs. “What frazzles me is why the Tugger has woman’s cloths…” Demeter laughed as they walked down the stairs. 

 

“He’s probably a cross dresser.” Bombalurina laughed.

 

“Where have you been?” Jerrie snapped at them, “And what are you wearing?”

 

“First of all we’re wearing cloths, second why don’t you ask Alonzo where we were.” Bombalurina crossed her arms.

 

 

“Alonzo said he couldn’t find you guys.” Jerrie replied.

 

“Well he found us. He walked in on us while we were changing.” Demeter walked by Jerrie.

 

“Alonzo is that true?” Jerrie turned to Alonzo.

 

“Yeah…” Alonzo looked at the floor.

 

“Then why didn’t you just say you saw them changing in stead of worrying Munkustrap like that?”

 

“Cause you’d think I was a perv.” Alonzo laughed.

“All guys are perv’s and that’s why woman are attracted to them.” Bombalurina sat beside Munkustrap, “But Munkustrap’s not a perv, he’s just sweet.” She purred tickling Munkustrap’s chin. Munkustrap smiled at her.

 

“Bombalurina your such a sexist!” Alonzo hissed.

 

“Well guys have more sex hormones then women.” She looked at him, “Or did you not take sex Ed in high school?”

 

“Enough.” Jerrie calmly began, “We set up the sentry’s outside the gate and patched it up as best we could.”

 

Teazer walked into the kitchen, “I got into the lap top. You can basically get anywhere into it.”

 

“Ok people listen up, I need a few to guard the gates while a few get caught up on sleep. Can we do that without arguing?” Jerrie narrowed his eyes at Bombalurina and Alonzo.

 

“Don’t look at me, she always starts it!” Alonzo growled.

 

“Alright Alonzo you come with me, we’ll be first on patrol of the gate. Everyone else get some rest.” Jerrie and Alonzo walked out the doors and along the long driveway towards the gates.

 

Bombalurina guided Munkustrap upstairs, “Where are we going?” Munkustrap asked quite thrilled to be going upstairs with her, which could mean a number of things.

 

“Well I’d rather not sleep on the couch.” She smiled opening the guest room door. “Wouldn’t you rather sleep in soft sheets?”

 

“There’s a lot of things I’d rather be doing right now.” He laughed, “Fearing that zombie cats are trying to find us is not one of those things.”

 

Bombalurina laughed and sat on the bed and patted the bed cueing for him to join her on the sheets. He sat beside her and watched her lazily fall onto her back. “Munkus, are you afraid?”

 

“Kinda why?” He slid closer to her.

 

“I dunno, just wondering I suppose.” Bombalurina sat up and looked at him, “What if we die?”

 

“What if we do?”

 

“What do you think would happen?” She smiled hugging him.

 

“We’d go to the heavyside layer.” Munkustrap cuddled her.

 

She laughed, “The heavyside layer?”

 

Munkustrap nodded, “You don’t believe in the heavyside layer? Or the everlasting cat?”

 

“No I do, I just thought that it was cute how you replied it to me.” She stood up and slid under and sheets. She took the long sleeve and her pants off so she could just sleep in her bra and underwear. She exhaled dreamily and began to drift off to sleep. Munkustrap found his way to her side under the sheets and drifted off to sleep as well.

 

Teazer was alone sitting on the couch. Since Jerrie was on first duty she was with no one. Until Demeter came over to her. “Hey Teazer. What’s a matter?”

 

“Nothing really. I’m just bored is all.” Teazer frowned. “Jerrie is out on patrol, so I really have no one to be with.”

 

“You can hang out with me and Cass if you want.” Demeter smiled.

 

“Alright, as long as I’m not imposing.” Teazer gave a sheepish smile.

 

“Of course not! Your welcome to come and stay with us.” Demeter helped her up and guided her to the other side of the house.

 

Munkustrap rolled over half asleep in the soft white sheets. He opened one eye. Bombalurina was still sleeping. She really stood out. Her fur was bright red so yeah on white sheets mostly anything would stand out. He reached out and brought his hand down her back. He brought himself closer. She rolled over and smiled, “What are you doing Mr.?” He smiled back and kissed her.

 

“I wasn’t doing anything.” He lied. “It was all a dream.”

 

“Look, I’m not completely stupid Munkus… I know you were making your way up my back…” She purred.

 

He grinned, “You see right through me and I can’t hide.”

 

“Ewww that’s an Avril Lavinge song!” Bombalurina hissed sitting up. (WHAT AN INSULT!)

 

Munkustrap watched her walk over to the dresser and brows through the drawers. “What are you doing?” He asked.

 

“I’m being nosey, got a problem with that buster?”

 

“Nope, but I think you look just fine right now.” Munkustrap grinned in a tomish way. 

 

“So you’d rather me be in my under wear and my bra?” She glared at him.

 

He nodded, “You have elegant curves, that I like to admire.” Munkustrap grinned, “Why? You don’t like to when I admire your curves?”

 

She turned, “No, I don’t really mind. I just like to be covered when I’m in front of everyone else.”

 

“But we’re not in front of everyone else. We’re alone.” Munkustrap stood up and walked towards her.

 

“I think I know what your getting at, but I don’t think this is the time to be doing that.” She smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

 

“Why not? Your always the one that starts it, this time I want to start it.” He purred into her ear making there way over to the bed still having his arms wrapped around her waist.

 

“But Munkustrap, what if someone walks in?” She laughed as he pushed her onto her back.

 

“Just tell them I’m attacking you.” He smiled working off his pants. She bit her lip trying not to laugh.

 

Demeter and Teazer walked through the house. “Cass should be waiting over here.” Demeter smiled. Teazer nodded. Cass and Bomby had never seen eye-to-eye so she worried Cass would dislike her as well.

“Hey Cass!” Demeter smiled walking over to her with Teazer.

 

“Hey.” Cass looked at Teazer, “Hey Teazer!” Cass smiled.

 

“Hello Cass.” Teazer smiled shaking her hand.

 

“So you gonna hang out with us?” Cassandra asked leaning back in her chair once more. “So you guys wanna go flirt with some toms?” Cassandra laughed.

 

“Sure.” Demeter giggled.

 

“I can’t…” Teazer replied, “I’m with Jerrie.” Teazer softly replied.

 

“That never stopped me. I’m with Alonzo and I still flirt with other toms. He knows I’m just fooling around and that I would never actually cheat on him.”

 

“Yes, but I’d prefer not to anyways.” Teazer looked down at her feet.

 

“Alright, Dem you coming?” Cass asked.

 

“Yep, I’ll be there in a second.” Dem called over her shoulder as Cass left the room. “Are you sure you don’t wanna come? You don’t have to do anything. You and I can just sit and have something to eat.” Dem smiled.

 

“Ok, but please don’t leave me alone with any tom.” Teazer smiled.

 

“I won’t leave you alone. Don’t worry.”  Dem walked out of the room with Teazer in toe. Demeter walked into the bar like room where all the other cats were. They had turned the café that was there into a bar. “Wow this is fantastic…” Dem sarcastically remarked walking into the room.

 

“I don’t think this is a good idea.” Teazer looked a bit afraid of the crowd of people in the room.

 

“Don’t be silly, what could possibly happen?” Demeter laughed.  Teazer had a bad feeling in her stomach so she just sat down at a table and stayed quiet.

 

Jerrie and Alonzo walked around outside the gate, “Holy shit is it ever cold.” Alonzo complained.

 

“Stop complaining about the coldness! If you think about it you will only feel colder, if you don’t talk about it you won’t feel it as much.” Jerrie explained loading his fir arm.

 

“Easy for you to say, your wearing a jacket.” Alonzo snapped.

 

“Shhh listen.” Jerrie looked around. They could hear the bushes outside the gate rustling. A squirrel jumped out.

 

“Oh Jerrie you should have seen your face!” Alonzo laughed hysterically.

 

“Common, we’re off duty.”  Jerrie motioned for Alonzo to follow him. When they got inside they walked to the café. When Jerrie saw that everyone was dancing and partying he yelled very loudly, “What is this!” Everyone stopped and looked at him. Including Teazer who was still sitting at the table with Demeter. Everyone looked awfully guilty. They all left except for the few that were just there to have some coffee or tea. Jerrie walked over to Demeter and Teazer, “What were you doing Teazer?” He looked very angry.

 

“I was just sitting-”

 

“And don’t say you weren’t doing anything.” Jerrie sternly interrupted her.

 

“But Jerrie she wasn’t doing anything.” Demeter replied for her.

 

“And I’m suppose to believe that?” Jerrie snapped.

 

“Jerrie I wasn’t doing anything, Dem and I were just sitting here talking.” Teazer began to cry.

 

“I may seem like a moron but I actually have a bit of sence.” Jerrie yelled.

 

“Jerrie please you gotta believe her, it was me that dragged her down here anyways.” Demeter frowned.

 

“It’s true Jerrie.” Teazer cried. Jerrie looked away. Teazer became so upset that she just ran away with her face buried into her hands. Jerrie watched her run away into the house while Demeter glared at him, “She was telling the truth you know. If you should be mad at anyone it should be me.” Demeter hissed.

 

“She should have enough common sence to know better then to do such things.” Jerrie growled.

 

“So now it is wrong to come and have a seat at a café with a friend? Your unbelievable.” Demeter snapped and walked away.

Teazer ran up to the guest bedroom and swung open the door. She slammed the door behind her and slid to the floor crying.

 

“Teazer?” Bombalurina asked quite surprised from the bed.

 

“What was that about?” Munkustrap looked at her even more surprised.

 

“I’m sorry. I’ll leave.” Teazer wiped her waterfall like tears away.

 

“No wait.” Bombalurina grabbed a spare sheet and wrapped it around herself. She walked over to Teazer and knelt beside her. “What happened?”

 

“Jerrie and I got into a fight, and I think it’s over…” Teazer cried.

 

“Come here.” Bombalurina hugged Teazer. Bombalurina cradled Teazer in her arms as she sobbed ever so sadly. Munkustrap slid on his pants and walked over to them.

 

“I can go talk to Jerrie if you want.” He offered.

 

“Your so sweet Munkus.” Bombalurina smiled at him, “Please talk to him.” Munkustrap nodded and walked down the stairs shirtless. He walked by some queens that gave him looks but he was more loyal then that. He found Jerrie sitting at the café table looking as if he was deep in thought.

 

“There you are Jerr, I was looking for you.” Munkus sat across from him.

 

“Why aren’t you wearing a shirt?” Jerrie looked at him absolutely baffled. 

 

“Oh, um… I was with Bombalurina. Couldn’t keep her hands off me.” Munkustrap smiled, even though it was him that couldn’t keep his hands off her…

 

“I don’t doubt that.” Jerrie looked down at the table.

 

“I heard about your little argument with Teazer.” Munkus became very serious, “You know she is really hurt. How can you live with yourself while she is so upset.”

 

“Well she was wondering around with different toms, or so I think. Anyways, what we she have come to a party for?” Jerrie whipped his forehead.

 

“Maybe she was pressured.” Munkustrap suggested.

 

“Oh Munkustrap I am such an idiot. How could I have done that to her!” Jerrie cried.

 

“It’s ok Jerr. We all make stupid mistakes.” Munkustrap leaned over to set his hand on Jerrie’s shoulder. “Sometimes for the worst and sometimes for the best.”

 

“But what if this is for the worst?” Jerrie felt a tear trickle down his cheek but quickly flicked it away.

 

“Well there’s only one way to know for sure, right?” Munkustrap smiled hopefully at Jerrie.

 

“Your right, there is only one way to find out.” Jerrie looked down a bit sadly, “You need to ask her if she is still willing to except me back.”

 

“What? Jerr that’s not what I ment.” Munkustrap shook his head, “I mean you have to go se her.” Munkustrap chuckled, but remained serious a moment after. “Common I’ll take you to her.” Munkustrap stood up and waited for Jerrie to come as well.

 

“Ok, I’m coming.” Jerrie stood up and followed Munkustrap to the stairs.

 

Bombalurina and Teazer laid back on the bed staring at each other, “Teazer stop crying it will be ok.” Bombalurina whipped her tears away.

 

“But he hates me Bomby! He won’t ever want to talk to me again.” Teazer walled into the pillow. Munkustrap opened the door.

 

“Ladies, there’s someone here to see Teazer.” Munkustrap walked into the room. Teazer looked up from the pillow to see Jerrie standing in the doorway hands in his pockets looking quite embarrassed.

 

“Jerrie!” She cried running over to him and hugging him.

 

“I am so sorry flower, I will never do that to you again!” He purred.

 

“Jerrie you have to promise me you will believe me more often!” Teazer cried hugging him.

 

“I will don’t worry.” Jerrie hugged her tighter. Teazer looked up at him and kissed him.

 

“Low and behold, they finally kissed.” Bombalurina smiled sliding off the bed.

 

“Shut up…” Teazer smiled still kissing Jerrie. Munkustrap looked around the room not really wanting to watch them kiss, it made him feel uncomfortable.

 

“Common Munkus, lets go. I think we should leave them the bedroom.” Bombalurina purred grabbing her cloths (She was still wrapped in sheets just so you know).

 

As the two walked down stairs a few toms saw Bombalurina in the sheets walking down the stairs. “Oh baby, check her out…” The tom that had a brown patch over his left eye (Tumblebrutus) mewed. “I never saw her around before.”

 

“Me ether.” The other one replied. He looked similar to Pouncival but had darker colours (Carbuckety). “I’ve never even seen a queen with red fur before.”

 

“But I think you rejected him because you were afraid to fall in love with him.” Munkustrap crossed his arms.

 

“You sound just like him.” Bombalurina growled.  

 

“Like who?”

 

“Tugger! He said that! In those same word: You’re afraid to fall in love with me.” She made motions with her hands.

 

“Were you?” Munkustrap look quite interested.

 

“No!” She snapped.

 

“Are you afraid to fall in love with me?”

 

“Of course not, Munkus I love you and wanted to marry you one day had work not got in the way!” She cried. “Why are you asking questions like this? Are you trying to make me feel bad of something that wasn’t suppose to happen?”

 

“Wasn’t suppose to happen? Did you do something with him that I should know about?” Munkustrap looked a bit angry.

 

“No! Why do people keep getting it into their heads that I had sex with him!” She screamed turning around putting her hand on her forehead.

 

“Baby look…”

 

“Just go.”

 

“But I just-”

 

“Munkustrap just go.” She sounded as If she was going to cry.

 

Munkustrap looked down at the floor then back at her back, “Ok.” He nodded. He then began walking towards the front of the house to go on duty.

 

Bombalurina stood there and cried. She had never cried that hard, and she never had cried that much over a tom. In fact she had never cried over a tom. Usually she would grow bored from toms and move on. She had never found a tom she truly loved, up until the last few months.

 

“Bomby?” A feminine voice asked.

 

Bombalurina looked over her shoulder tears still forming in her eyes. It was hard to see clear but she could tell it was Cassandra, “Oh, it’s you.” Bombalurina attempted to whip her tears but other ones just took their place.

 

“Why are you crying?” Cassandra asked, she actually sounded as if she cared.

 

“Wow she’s good at acting.” Bombalurina thought, “Nothing.” Bombalurina replied.

 

“Well if it was nothing you wouldn’t be crying.” Cassandra made a smile that was sympathetic but curious.

 

“Munkustrap and I got into a fight.” Bombalurina whipped more tears away a sniffled.

 

“A fight? How bad was it?” Cassandra sounded worried now.

 

“Why do you even care? You hate me.” Bombalurina walked into the living room slowly.

 

Cassandra followed her slowly as well, “I don’t hate you, I always thought you hated me.”

 

“Well I don’t really hate you, I disliked you for hating me which you don’t so I guess I don’t dislike you anymore.” Bombalurina sat on the couch.

 

“Well, that makes sence so I guess we can be friends.” Cassandra sat beside her, “So since we’re friends do you wanna talk about it?”

 

“I guess.” Bombalurina leaned back, “Munkustrap and I got into a fight, and now I think we’ve broken up. He claims I love the Tugger, which I don’t.” Bombalurina made that last part very clear.

 

Cassandra nodded, “Your into two toms huh?” Cassandra began to ponder.

 

“I’m not into two toms! In fact I hate that Tugger!” Bombalurina hissed leaning forward again.

 

“Why are you making this such a big deal?” Cassandra questioned.

 

“Because everyone else is!” Bombalurina stood up, “Everyone is claiming I love him! But I fucking don’t!” She yelled.

 

“I can see that you really don’t like him.” Cassandra began, “And I think that everyone should understand that.” Bombalurina looked back at her,

 

“I’m glad we became friends. I’m also glad that you agree with me. Not many people have.” Bombalurina rubbed her eye.

 

“When Munkustrap comes back, you should talk to him.” Cassandra suggested.

 

“Yeah, I think I will.” Bombalurina smiled. Bombalurina stood up,

 

“Where are you going?” Cassandra watched her walk towards the stairs.

 

“I’m going to talk to Tugger. I can’t stand the thought of me actually winding up with him in the end.” She moaned, “That would suck…” She continued walking up the stairs. It took her a well thought out 1 hour before she actually opened the door. She closed the door behind her to see the Tugger under his covers watching TV. He looked over at her,

 

“Bomby, what are you doing in here?” He asked.

“I came to talk to you.” She walked over to the bed and sat on the edge. “Tugger, I don’t know why but everyone thinks I love you. Pfft, imagine that…” She smiled.

 

“I can imagine that.” He laughed sitting up revealing his shirtless chest. “So is that all?”

 

“Tugger, why do you like me?” She asked.

 

“Why? Your hot!” He exclaimed.

 

“Most toms say that but their not stalking me day and night to just see me…” She smiled tracing her fingers along his chest but quickly stopped.

 

“Well I like your attitude, and when you kissed me, my world completely changed. Now I crave your lips.” He smiled feeling her cheek. She took his hand and held it. “I love you Red.”

 

“No you don’t. You’ll bed me then leave me. Most toms do that.” She seemed somewhat upset about that, “But Munkustrap’s different. He loves me because he loves my personality.”

 

“I love you for everything. You’re like a perfect queen. You’re the most beautiful creature on earth.” He smiled sitting up more.

 

“Tugger, I could never really love you.” She stood up to leave, “I’m sorry.”

 

“Wait.” He grabbed her hand, “One last kiss.”

 

“What?”

 

“One last kiss before you completely leave me.” He frowned. “Please?”

 

She stood there thinking for a minute before sitting beside him, “Tugger, please don’t make this too intimate.” She sighed leaning towards him.

 

“I won’t.” He smiled faintly. Bombalurina pressed her lips to his. He seemed to gentle; not what you’d expect from a tom that apparently created plan 67. His fingers traced along her face and through her hair. Her hands just stayed on his shoulders. She stopped and looked at him. “Why’d you stop?” He frowned.

 

“I told you I didn’t want it intimate.” She replied standing up.

 

“It wasn’t intimate though.” He frowned.

 

“Any longer it could have been.” She walked over to the door.

 

“I love you, but you’ll never love me. I think it’s time for me to move on.” He leaned back onto his pillow.

 

She smiled, “I’m glad you agree.”

 

He turned his head in her direction, “But I’ll never be able to.” She walked out of the room closing the door behind her.

 

The Tugger stared at the door she has just closed. Did she feel nothing for him? He loved her so much, and she wanted nothing to do with him. He laid back on his pillows and sighed.

 

Demeter sat on the balcony watching the night air fly past the moon. She was so terribly bored. Alonzo walked onto the balcony, “Hey Demeter.” He smiled shyly.

 

She looked over at the handsome tom, “Hey.” She replied.

 

He sat beside her, “Nice night, isn’t it?” He smiled at her watching moon.

 

“Yeah.” She was captured in thought. He went a bit closer to her, without her noticing. “What brings you out here Alonzo?”

 

“Well, I was just walking by and saw you sitting here. Alone.” He stretched out.

“Well, at some points I like to be alone.” She stood up and walked over to the edge of the balcony.

 

“Why do you like to be alone?” Alonzo asked.

 

“I don’t know. I guess ever since Munkus went with Bomby, I’ve never really wanted any one else.”

 

“Uh oh, sounds like someone is jealous.” Alonzo made a charming grin.

 

“I am not!” Demeter hissed, “Well, not anymore. I’ve learned to cope with it.” She sighed sitting back down.

 

Alonzo looked at her and sat beside her, “Dem,” She looked at him, “I think your beautiful.”

 

“Aren’t you with Cass?” Demeter nearly chocked.

 

“She won’t notice anything.” Alonzo smiled kissing Demeter.

 

Bombalurina sat on the edge of the bathtub feeling the warm water. She traced her fingers across the top thinking. She walked over the door and locked it. She didn’t want anyone, walking in on her. Well maybe Munkustrap… She dropped her pants to the floor and slipped off her top. She slid slowly into the hot water. She exhaled closing her eyes thinking gently. The bathroom was very nice; expensive looking. Very white and shiny. She shifted through the bubbles making herself more comfortable. The tub was large, 6 feet long and three feet across.

 

Munkustrap stood on duty with Coricopat. “So you and Bomby huh?” Cori began not liking the silence.

 

“Yeah. Her and I really got something going on.” He smiled. “Can you keep a secret?” Munkustrap whispered.

 

“Sure man.” Cori and Munkus went way back, they were together in the British Military.

 

“Bomby and I have had a really great relationship.” Munkustrap began reaching for something in his pocket.

 

“You mean great sex.” Cori laughed.

 

“Yeah well that too.” Munkustrap smiled, “And I was gonna give her this.” Munkustrap opened a velvet red box revealing a beautiful golden diamond ring.

 

“Munkus, this is a wedding ring.” Cori looked at it astonished.

 

“Yeah. I dunno how it’s gonna happen though.” He frowned putting it away again.

 

“What do you mean?” Cori asked as Munkus pulled his hand out of his pocket empty.

 

“Mutant cats are running rapid and you had to ask.” Munkustrap laughed. “And well, her and I got into an argument…” They suddenly heard moaning from the bushes. Macavity stumbled out falling to the ground.

 

“Mac.” Cori ran out towards Macavity.

 

“Wait!” Munkus cried.

 

“What?”

 

“The remote sentries will pick up your movement. Mac’s lucky it didn’t detected his.” Munkustrap pressed the unarm button in the panel next to the gate. Coricopat ran over to Mac helping him up towards the house. Munkus rearmed the remote sentries and followed Mac and Coricopat. They three walked into the house. “Hey! We need some help down here!” Tantomile, Carbuckety and Tumblebrutus ran down the stairs. Cassandra leapt up from the couch, which was right near the entering of the door. Demeter and Alonzo ran over as well from where the balcony’s direction was. Their hair muffled and ragged. “What happened to you two?” Munkustrap curiously asked them.

 

“Nothing. Oh my everlasting cat is that Macavity!” Alonzo gasped.

 

“Is he bitten?” Demeter asked running over to inspect his body for wounds.

 

“Not that we know of.” Cori replied.

 

“He doesn’t seem bit, just weak. Someone help me take him to the health area downstairs.” Demeter ordered. Tanto and Tumble both helped take Macavity down stairs.

 

Jerrie ran down the stairs into the room past Macavity, “Where’d he come from?” He asked.

 

“We found him out side. He stumbled in front of the gates.” Munkustrap replied.

 

“Carbuckety, Cass you two go on duty.” Jerrie ordered, “Munkus you and Cori are off duty.”

 

“Yes sir.” Carbuckety saluted Jerrie, as did Cass and they both armed them selves and went outside.

 

“Sir, have you seen Bombalurina?” Munkustrap asked.

 

“Um, she went up stairs.” Cass replied closing the door behind her.

 

Munkustrap walked past Jerrie, “Um Munkus.” Jerrie began.

 

“Yeah?”

 

“Don’t go into the guest bed, Teazer is still sleeping.” Jerrie added.

 

“You sly dog!” Munkustrap smiled walking back up the stairs. Munkustrap looked around. Where could she be? He opened the door to the Tugger’s room. The Tugger looked over at him,

 

“Can I help you?” He asked.

 

“Have you seen Bomby?”

 

“No. Well she did come in and kiss me not to long ago.”

 

“What?” Munkustrap looked angry.

 

“She came in to say she didn’t love me, then gave me one last kiss saying good bye. Nothing to bad.”

 

Munkustrap was a bit baffled at that, but knew it probably would never happen again, “Ok, thanks.” Munkustrap turned and left. Munkustrap looked over at the bathroom door.

 

Bombalurina felt relaxed and safe, up in till someone knocked on the door, “Hello?” Munkustrap began.

 

“Munkus?” She grinned. “Come in.” She added.

 

Munkus rattled the door knob, “I can’t you locked it.”

 

“Oh… I’ll be out soon.” She added.

 

“Ok, I’ll wait in the living room.” He replied heading for the stairs. Bombalurina rushed to get out of the tub. As she grabbed a towel she heard a loud blood-curtailing scream. Bombalurina stood still trying to think what that could have been. She was really hoping it wasn’t cannibal cats that Jerrie claimed were zombies. “Pfft… yeah right…” She though to herself. She slipped her cloths on and walked out of the bathroom. As she did Rumpelteazer came out of the guest bedroom.

 

“What was that noise?” Teazer asked looking quite frightened.

 

“I don’t know. Common lets find Jerrie.” Bombalurina replied. The Tugger jumped out of his room and made a horrible animal noise. The queens screamed and ran into the guest bedroom.

 

The Tugger laughed, “This is just like high school!”

 

Bombalurina swung open the door, “Tugger,” She growled, “Fuck off!”

 

The Tugger frowned I was just having a little fun.  Lighten up toots.”

 

Bombalurina clenched her teeth together. “Common.” Teazer took her by the arm and escorted her down the stairs. “We have to find Jerrie.” As the walked into the living room Bombalurina asked Munkustrap,

 

“Did you hear that scream?”

 

“Yeah that was you.” He replied.

 

“No no before that!” She added.

 

“No.”

 

“It sounded horrible. Like someone was getting killed.”

 

“You know that sound to well.” Munkustrap frowned. “Maybe this job wasn’t for you.”

 

“Munkus this is serious!” she seriously stated.

 

“Ok, ok I’m sorry.” He stood up. “Well we should tell Jerrie then.”

 

“Where is he?” Teazer inquired.

 

“I dunno. Maybe downstairs with Mac.”

 

“Mac?” Teazer looked surprised by the reply, “Macavity?”

 

“Yeah. Cori and I found him wandering around outside.”

 

“That’s fantastic isn’t it?” Teazer did not look amused.

 

“You don’t like Mac?” The Tugger asked walking into the room still topless.

 

“I think the better question is who would like Mac.” Bombalurina glared at the wall for no apparent reason. The Tugger gave her a strange look then looked away.

 

“Anyways…” Munkustrap broke the silence. Jerrie walked out from the basement, “Ah! Just the tom we’ve been waiting for.” Munkustrap smiled.

 

“What?” Jerrie asked, “What for?”

 

“Well, we heard some commotion from outside.” Munkustrap looked at the door, “Should we go out and secure the perimeter?”

 

“No. I think it’s best that I send out someone who I think is better to be expendable.” Jerrie replied.

 

“How about Tugger?” Bombalurina offered.

 

“Thanks you-” The Tugger was cut off.

 

“You what?” Bombalurina looked angry.

 

“Oh nothing…” the Tugger sighed.

 

“Who’s on duty now?” Jerrie interrupted their argument.

 

“Cass and Carbuckety but-”

 

Carbuckety ran through the front door covered in blood.

 

“Carbuckety are you alright? Where are you hurt?” Jerrie ran over to him examining the blood-drenched cat.

 

“It’s not my blood…” He gasped trying to catch his breath. A loud snarl came into the room. Jerrie pulled the magnum out of Bombalurina’s pocket landing a bullet in the head of the creature.

 

“Well that was exciting.” Munkustrap sarcastically remarked.

 

“Oh yeah that was great.” The Tugger scowled at him. “You got blood on my fucking carpet.”

 

“Oh the horror of the carpet.” Bombalurina sassed at him.

 

“You know what I’ve had it up to here with your shit Bombalurina.” The Tugger snapped.

 

“Oh I’m hurt deeply.” She scowled at him.

 

“Stop arguing or I’ll put you both in a room and let you sort out your problems.” Jerrie warned.

 

“I wouldn’t trust him in a locked room Jerr.” Bombalurina looked frightened. “I mean, have you seen his fathers behavior?”

 

“No he killed him before we could question him.” Jerrie replied.

 

“Idiot…” Bombalurina whispered. “You and your bright idea’s Tugger…”

 

“Hey, you haven’t seen me in action.” He argued back.

 

“Action and you don’t go in the same sentence well.” She smiled.

 

“Shut up you…” He had an opportunity to mock her; to humiliate her but he didn’t continue his sentence. He just sighed. She never understood why he was still nice to her but she ignored it.

 

“Ok, we obviously have a situation here.” Jerrie began trying to get their attention again, “We need to warn everyone else.”

Demeter ran into the room nearly crying, “Bomby!” She wailed into Bombalurina shoulder.

 

“Ahh!” Bombalurina exclaimed startled, “What is it?”

 

“It’s Cori and Tanto!” She whipped her tears away, “Those savage cat things are in the house!”

 

“What?” Munkustrap’s eyes widened, “Please don’t say that.”

 

“They got attacked right in front of my eyes.” She explained, “They came in through the windows.”

 

“Wait their in the house!” Jerrie questioned. Demeter nodded. Teazer stood by Jerrie’s side listening.

 

“You know, we’re fucked.” The Tugger began getting some scotch.

 

“Stop drinking!” Bombalurina slapped the scotch glass from in his hand letting it smash to the floor.

 

“Back off babe.” The Tugger grabbed her by the cuff and held her close threatening her. Munkustrap shoved the Tugger.

 

“Knock it off.” Munkustrap warned the Tugger.

 

“Hey, don’t snap at me, snap at your girlfriend.” The Tugger pointed at Bombalurina. A zombie jumped on the Tugger’s back. Bombalurina clutched the mutated cat and flung it to the floor. Reaching for her magnum to finish it off, there was nothing in her pocket. She looked straight ahead of her and quietly whispered, “Oh shit…” The creature grabbed her leg tripping her. She let out a small scream kicking it. The Tugger picked Bombalurina up and shoot the creature himself. Bombalurina looked at the Tugger, which she was now hugging. She pushed him away.

 

“Uh… thanks.” She smiled.

 

“No prob. any time.” He smiled back. Munkustrap didn’t like that incident but still walked over to Bombalurina to make sure she was ok.

 

“Ok I’m going to the armory.” The Tugger began to walk.

 

“Me too. Apparently, some toms feel the need to take my guns.” Bombalurina scowled at Jerrie.

 

“Ok, you two go and get some supplies, Munkustrap, Demeter, can you go get all the rest of the cats together?” Jerrie asked.

 

“Yeah.” Munkustrap replied.

 

“We’ll be back soon.” The Tugger replied walking to the basement with Bombalurina.

 

Munkustrap and Demeter walked down the hallway towards the café like area. They saw Alonzo sleeping on the sitting area outside the café. “Alonzo, wake up.” Demeter shook Alonzo.

 

Alonzo grunted and looked up at Demeter, “Hey Baby.” He smiled kissing her cheek, “Oh hi Munkus.”

 

“Alonzo, aren’t you and Cass going out?”

 

“OH I am so over Cassandra.” Alonzo smiled hugging Demeter.

 

“Well that’s ok cause Cass is dead. We think she was killed by one of those Zombie things.” Munkustrap replied.

 

“She was what!” Alonzo exclaimed.

 

“I thought you said you were over her?” Munkustrap looked at him suspiciously.

 

“No, if she was killed by one that means that those thing are near here!” Alonzo exclaimed standing up.

 

“We’re getting all the cats together. Wanna come?” Munkustrap asked.

 

“Yeah ok.” Alonzo replied.

 

The Tugger walked in the basement looking for the armory. “So Bomby, why did you save me?” He asked.

 

“Look Tugger, its not as if it was because it was attacking you, more to the point where it might have attacked Munkustrap, or Teazer or any other friend of mine.”

 

The Tugger came in front of her from nowhere, “Face it, you want me.”

 

Bombalurina laughed, “Tugger look, I like you and all but I love Munkustrap.”

 

“And I’m sure he likes you too.” The Tugger smiled charmingly.

 

“Yeah. He’s a sweet guy. Very sexy too might I add.” She grinned thinking of him.

 

“Sexy?” The Tugger though, “I can be sexy.” He walked towards her courting her towards a wall.

 

“Tugger look, we should really be looking for the armory.” Bombalurina looked for a way to get away.

 

“Look, Munkustrap loves you. One little kiss won’t make him hate you.” The Tugger pressed Bombalurina to a wall.

 

“Well maybe you pinning me to a wall in a very uncomfortable position might.” She smiled nervously. The Tugger leaned to kiss her. “Tugger no.” She pushed him away.

 

“Bomby look, I’m crazy about you. I mean, I’d stalk you to love you if I had too. I’d sale the ocean’s wide if I had too!” He took her hand.

 

She looked back at him. She really was becoming attached to the Tugger but loved Munkustrap. She was in such a bad position. “Tugger, what if I say I’ll think about it?”

 

“Then I’d say I love you.” He smiled.

 

“Well look, I love Munkustrap and that’s final. I can’t love you, even though I want too. Munkustrap is my boy friend, not you.” She walked away from his embarrassment (Or attempted embarrassment). She found the armory and some large sport bags. She began filling them with guns and ammo. The Tugger also joined the raid of the guns.

 

Alonzo, Demeter and Munkustrap came back. All they had found was bodies of Tumblebrutus and Victor. (No one else to be seen). They had obviously been killed or tried to escape and been killed. When they returned, Jerrie looked very curious about why they had only come back with one. “Where is everyone else?”

 

“They were… dead. Or missing.” Alonzo replied.

 

“Oh god…” Teazer began to cry again. Jerrie hugged her.

 

“What are we gonna do?” Munkustrap asked.

 

“We have to get the hell out of here is what. We have no chance now. Our barricades have been broken. It’s no longer safe here.” Jerrie sighed, “We’ll leave as soon as Tugger and Bomby are back.”

 

Bombalurina picked up the two bags she had filled. The Tugger filled up two as well. They walked by a lightened room. “What’s in there?” She asked.

”The infirmary.” The Tugger replied, “Why?”

 

She ran into the room. There wasn’t anyone to be seen but then in the back corner was a ginger boy. Macavity. She ran over o him, “Look.” She began, “It’s Macavity.” Macavity’s eyes opened. She jumped back. Macavity sat up and looked around.

 

“Where am I?” He asked.

 

“My house.” Tugger replied.

 

“What the hell.” Macavity rubbed his head. He stood up and lost balance falling onto Bombalurina knocking her over.

 

“Oh god get off.” She moaned. Macavity rolled off trying to sit up.

 

“Can I have some water.” Macavity rubbed his head again. Tugger passed him some water. Macavity gulped I in one drink. “How did I get here?”

 

“I dunno. They found you wandering.” Tugger replied.

 

Macavity nodded, “I remember now. I escaped the HQ and started walking. From hydration and lack of food, I found myself at those front gates. Munkustrap and Coricopat were there.” Macavity rubbed his forehead, “That’s all I remember.”

 

“Common, we’re leaving here.” The Tugger picked his bags back up. Bombalurina stood up brushing herself off.

 

“Well thanks for knocking me over.” She hissed. She picked up her things and walked towards the stairs.

 

Munkustrap met Bombalurina at the top of the stairs. He helped her bring the bags into the front room. “Ok, here’s what we’re going to do; Mac what are you doing awake?”

 

“You say that as if you just want to leave me here.” Macavity growled.

 

“No, I had forgotten you were here.” Jerrie replied, “Anyways, we’re gonna cover the ones taking the bags to the bus and then get on ourselves.”

 

“Oh I got an idea.” Demeter smiled raising her hand and jumping.

 

“What?”

 

“We can take out the crowds in front of the house with grenades.” She replied, “Someone can stand up on the balcony and throw grenades while someone snips until the cost is clear enough to go to the bus. Someone drives the bus over to the balcony, the sniper and grenade cat jump on and get through the roof.”

 

“That’s brilliant.” Jerrie exclaimed. “Good work Demeter. Ok, we need a sniper.” Jerrie looked at Munkustrap, “You have a good shot, Munkus you’re the sniper.”

 

“Can I be the grenade cat?” Bombalurina pleaded.

 

“Why?”

 

“Cause I love blowing shit up!” She pleaded.

 

“Ok fine…” Jerrie sighed, “Alonzo, you and Teazer take the gun bags. Tugger, you bring the other things. Demeter and I will cover you both while we all make our way to the bus after the cost is clear.”

 

“OK. Sounds like a pretty good plan to me.” Teazer smiled.

 

“I agree.” Tugger nodded,” Man, for a bunch of morons ya’ll got good idea’s.” Tugger added. “What about Mac?”

 

“Mac, you don’t have to do anything. You just worry bout keeping your strength up ok?” Jerrie asked.

 

“Ok. Sergeant?” Macavity began.

 

“Yes?”

 

“You make me proud sometimes.” Macavity smiled setting his hand on Jerrie’s shoulder, “And for a nurse Demeter, you are very bright.” He stroked her face. She jerked her face away.

 

“Don’t touch me.” She snapped. Macavity looked at her angrily then looked away.

 

“Ok! Lets get a move!” Macavity ordered. Munkustrap and Bombalurina went up to the balcony with 2 snipers (In case Bombalurina wanted to snip) and 7 frag grenades.

 

“What a nice evening.” Bombalurina smiled kissing Munkustrap in the cheek throwing a grenade out into the crowd of mutated cats below them. Guts and blood flew every which way. It covered much of the front of the house. She continued to throw more and more. It was smoky and dark. The air smelled of burning flesh. “Oh lovely…” Bombalurina wrinkled her nose. She picked up the walkie talkie, “Grenades used. Sniping is gonna start now.”

 

Munkustrap set up the sniper and started firing away. He fired for about 10 minutes before giving her the clear. “Ok, head for the bus now.” Jerrie and the others flung open the door rushing the bus with the 7 bags they had packed with ammo, food water and other essentials. Munkustrap covered them. Jerrie sat in the driver’s seat and drove over to the balcony. Bombalurina jumped down first and slid into the bus. Munkustrap followed with the 2 snipers and grenades.

 

”Move.” Bombalurina shooed Jerrie so she could drive, “I’m in charge if this bus.” She began to drive. They continued to drive before their gas tank grew low, “We need to find a gas station.” Bombalurina called to Jerrie.

 

“There’s one up ahead.” He replied, “Since your in charge of the bus you can fill it.” He added. “We’ll cover you.”

“Fine fine…” She pulled into the gas station. She began to pump the gas. A couple mutant cats came charging at them, but none got close to her. With Jerrie’s keen eyes she was safe. She got back on the bus. “Are we ready now?”

 

“Yeah.” Jerrie nodded.

 

“OK then lets go.” She replied. “You know what would be good right now?”

 

“What?”

 

“A couple nukes.” She smiled turning a corner, “Blast the fuckers into next year.”

 

“Nukes,” Jerrie mumbled, “I’m very glad those things haven’t got you yet.” Jerrie smiled.

 

“Yet?” Bombalurina snapped.

 

“Nukes are a perfect idea!” He chuckled. “Where is the main point of the city?” Jerrie asked.

 

Teazer opened the lap top, “I’m sure I can find out.”

 

“You still have that thing?” Munkustrap asked.

 

“What thing?” Macavity asked.

 

“Um…” Teazer stalled.

 

“Um, sir,” Jerrie began feeling his stomach turn, “We found a lap top.”

 

“And you never told me!” Macavity snapped, “All of this could have been avoided.”

 

“I know sir. I apologize for my actions.” Jerrie frowned, “It was for safety precautions.”

 

“From what?” Macavity narrowed his eyes, “From me? Why would you hide it from me?”

 

“Well…” Teazer began, “We heard rumors that you were Plato’s friend…”

 

“Well yeah, I was but not anymore. We went our separate ways.” Macavity made a lousy attempted of a smile.

 

“Oh. Well, after long time and devotion for the lap top, Teazer finally cracked it.” Jerrie replied.

 

“Yeah I got the msn working.” She smiled.

 

“Msn?” Bombalurina laughed. “Wow that’s really important Teazer…”

 

“Oh I know!” Teazer laughed back.

 

“Jerrie, do we even have any nukes?” Bombalurina asked changing the subject.

 

“Yeah, I packed about 8.” Tugger replied, “I love nukes.”

 

“Well, for once Tugs, you used your head.” Bombalurina laughed.

 

“Ok, I found out where the center of the city is.” Teazer looked up from the lap top, “Turn right.”

 

30 minutes later…

 

After a long period of securing the area, they began setting the nukes up. They were remote activated so it was fine. Jerrie laid down the fourth nuke wiring it to the others.

 

“How much longer Jerr? More of those things keep showing up.” Munkustrap inquired shooting another zombie.

 

“Well, this takes time and if done wrong you can kiss your ass good-bye.” Jerrie stood up straightening his back.

 

The Tugger leaned against the bus watching them. Demeter stood on the bus looking for any other distant enemy. She had a sniper so she was good cover. She looked around with the scope. She nearly dropped the sniper when she saw it. The massive creature waddling towards them from at least 400 yards away. “Oh my god…” She gasped.

“What?” Bombalurina looked up at her.

 

“Well… we have bigger problems then zombie cats Munkustrap…” Demeter looked as if she was going to cry, “I dunno what it is, but its coming this way.”

 

“What does it look like?” Teazer asked.

 

Demeter took another look through the scope, “Your not gonna believe this…”

 

“What?”

 

“It’s Pouncival…”

 

“WHAT!” Bombalurina snapped, “That can’t be!”

 

“Well, I’m sorry to say but it is. They must be mutating.” Demeter looked down at her.

 

“I was really hoping they wouldn’t.” Munkustrap moaned. Jerrie finished wiring the sixth one.

 

“Almost done guys.” He stated wiring the seventh one. “I’ll keep the eighth one just in case.”

 

“Hurry up its getting closer!” Demeter seemed tense and frightened, which she couldn’t be blamed for. “Times up.” She jumped down form the bus.

 

“Done.” Jerrie dusted off his hands. “Holy shit!” He saw the massive form of Pouncival.

 

Munkustrap rapidly began shooting at the mutant, “Get on the bus everyone!” Everyone ran onto the bus. Jerrie started it up.

 

“Munkustrap get your ass over here!” Bombalurina cried at the door of the bus.

 

“No! Just go!” he yelled back.

 

“No! I won’t!” She called back. She ran over to him, “I won’t let you die alone!”

 

Munkustrap smiled at her, “You’re a fool, but so beautiful.”

 

Alonzo ran beside them, “I can’t let ya’ll have all the glory!” He smiled.

 

“Lets kick some mutated cannibal cats ass!” She smiled. They began shooting the zombie with AK 47s. After moments of firing they had to reload. Bombalurina took a head shot making it flinch, “Aim for the head!” She yelled over the commotion of the gunfire. Munkustrap aimed up and blew the head off. “Not bad.” Bombalurina nodded.

 

Teazer ran off the bus, “Are you ok?” Just as she said it, a zombie came from nowhere and bit her in the neck, wailing in pain she feel lifelessly to the ground.

 

“NO!” Bombalurina screamed charging the creature. She shot it until it was basically a pill of ground up cat. “Teazer…” A tear trickled down her face. She hugged the queen in her arms. Jerrie ran off the bus and pushed Bombalurina away.

 

“Baby…” Jerrie sobbed. He hugged Teazer’s body, bloody and dead. Demeter ran off the bus. Frozen is fright, she fell to her knees.

 

“Teazer?” She watched as Jerrie padded Teazer’s forehead. Bombalurina knelt beside Demeter crying.

 

Munkustrap stood 2 feet away from the Tugger. He looked over at him, “This is horrible. We have to get out of here.”

 

“Thanks for the news flash Dr. Stupid.” The Tugger sarcastically remarked.

 

“Well I’m just saying we’ve lost everything!” Munkustrap snapped,
”we lost our entire group. We have seven cats left out of what? 14 maybe?”

 

The Tugger nodded, “I see your point.”

 

“Common Jerrie.” Munkustrap padded the tom on the back. “We need to keep moving.”

 

Teazer’s head flung up biting Mungojerrie’s shoulder. “AHH!” He flung her to the ground. “Shit!”

 

“Open fire!” Macavity ordered. Munkustrap laid a head shot in Teazer. She fell to the ground.

 

“I can’t believe I just did that.” Munkustrap took a deep breath. Jerrie lay on the ground grasping his wound.

 

“This always seems to happen.” Jerrie sighed sitting up, “When you think you got it all worked out it comes back and bites you in the ass.”

 

“Yeah. I feel yeah.” Munkustrap set his hand on Jerrie’s shoulder.

 

“Kill me.” Jerrie demanded.

 

Munkustrap looked at Jerrie, “What?”

 

“Kill me before I kill someone else…” Jerrie looked at his bloody shirt. “It’s better then walking around without a soul.” Munkustrap nodded. He stood up and back away. “Be seeing you.” Jerrie smiled. Munkustrap shot Jerrie in the head. Bombalurina let out a small scream hugging Demeter tighter.

 

“Fuck…” Demeter sobbed.

 

“Hey it’s ok.” Alonzo hugged both the queens. “We’re gonna make it.”

 

“We need to get going.” Macavity ordered. “On the bus now.”

 

The 5 walked onto the bus. “Your cold hearted Mac, you know that?” Bombalurina hissed walking past him in the driver seat.

 

“Oh, I’m hurt for life now. Being told I’m cold hearted by a slut does that to everyone.” She glared at him. She walked to Munkustrap’s seat and sat beside him.

 

“Fucking ass hole jerk.” She mumbled leaning against Munkustrap’s arm.

 

“Chill out. Your just stressed.” Munkustrap stroked her face.

 

“Stressed!” She sat up straight, “I just saw two of my closest friends get killed! And you call it stress!” She yelled.

 

“I’m sorry. My friends were killed too you know.” Munkustrap kissed her forehead. “We’re gonna make it though.”

 

“You promise?”

 

“He can’t promise you anything Red.” Macavity interrupted them, “But I can. I can promise you a quick death.”

 

“Shut up fucker!” Bombalurina hissed.

 

Demeter sat in the seat with Alonzo, “I’m so frightened…” She whispered.

 

“I know, me too.” He replied hugging her, “I won’t let anything happen to you though. Well I can try to protect you with every strength in my body.” He honestly added.

 

“Thanks Alonzo.” She hugged him tighter. “I’ll do the same.”

 

 

They began driving further and further. Soon they came into a dark forestry area. It was a surprise to see such a thick forest. Trees everywhere. Macavity stopped the bus. “We got a problem people.” Macavity began.

 

“What?” Munkustrap got up, “What’s the problem?”

 

“See that?” Macavity pointed out the windshield at gates in front of them, “That’s the border line for the city.”

“So?”

 

“This city is fenced.” He replied, “We open that we’d be letting out the fuckers as well.”

 

“Well then close it as soon as we go through it.” Demeter walked into the conversation. She stopped by Munkustrap.

 

“You don’t get it do you?” Macavity became frustrated. “We open that, we can’t close it again.”

 

“Why not?” Demeter was confused, “It’s a gate, it’s made to be opened and close again.”

 

“Not that one. You see, that thing is pure metal, weighing over 2 tons. To open it we’d need to bus to push through. There’s be no way to close it after.” Macavity explained.

 

“Just use the bus to close it again.” Demeter replied.

 

“We’d be on the wrong angle. There’s to many trees around here. He wouldn’t be able to get onto the right angle if we tried.” Munkustrap began to understand.

 

“So what if a couple get out?” Alonzo joined the convo as well.

 

“We can’t take the chance of them getting into another city. We don’t have that much firepower, plus we’d be taking out thousands of innocent lives. This place is dead. It’s different.” Munkustrap answered.

 

“We’ll just have to take that chance then. If we don’t, there’s also a chance they’re gonna find another way out.” Alonzo pointed out.

 

“That’s true. Mac, we’re going to have to go through the gates.” Demeter agreed,  “Unless your in the mood to get eaten by mutant cats.”

 

Macavity nodded, “Sit down, this could be rough.” Macavity sat down in the drivers seat and prepared for the drive through the metal gate. Everyone sat down and held onto something. Macavity pressed the gas. The bus pressed forward towards the gate. Faster and faster and faster until, they crashed into the gate. The bus smashed into it. The gate flung open. The bus pursued forward. Everyone in the bus fell to the floor except Macavity.

 

“Nice little drive in the country eh?” Alonzo sarcastically remarked helping Demeter up.

 

“Oh yes.” Munkustrap rolled his eyes.

 

They drove down the new road. There were still many trees. It was dark. Night had fallen. After hours of driving, Macavity felt drowsy. He refused to let someone else drive though. Bombalurina slept beside Munkustrap in her seat. Munkustrap was still awake keeping an eye on his stepbrother. Macavity’s eyes closed and his foot stayed down the gas. A tree fell from the side of the road hitting the bus. Everyone flung forward. Macavity went through the windshield. Everything went black for Munkustrap.

 

Alonzo woke up. The windows of the bus were broken the bus was pretty much trashed. He shook Demeter, “Dem wake up.”

 

“Wha…” She mumbled looking up. She had blood coming out of her nose and a bit from her head.

“Munkus, man wake up.” Alonzo whispered over to Munkustrap.

 

Munkustrap sat up, “Oh Fuck my head…” he groaned rubbing the back of his head. “Baby, you ok?”

 

Bombalurina didn’t reply.

 

“Baby!” He crawled over to her. She was breathing. “She’s knocked out.” Munkustrap replied. Her eyes twitched. She sat up and rubbed her back.

 

“Ow…” She moaned.

 

“Oh god I’m so glad your alright.” Demeter limped over to her. She hugged the scarlet queen.

 

“Yeah me too.” Bombalurina forced a smile. She had blood dripping down form her lip. They four limped out of the bus. “Where the fuck are we?”

 

“Well, after we left the gate, we drove for a couple of hours down the road. I dunno how long we’ve been out though.” Munkustrap responded.

 

“Where’s Mac?” Alonzo asked. They all looked around. They found him crippled over the tree that had fallen in front of the bus. He had the detonation remote in his hand. “We need to get that.”

 

Macavity opened his eyes. He looked at the remote in his hand and at the four below him. He weakly pressed the bottom.

 

“Oh shit!” Alonzo stepped back falling over a branch.

 

“No don’t worry, it’s not an automatic. It has a 30 minutes timer on it. It won’t blow for another half hour.” Munkustrap relived him.

 

A blur went by them. “What the fuck was that?” Demeter shakily asked. Another blur went by.

 

“Whatever it is it’s moving really fast.” Bombalurina replied. It jumped down from a tree revealing itself. It was tall. It had long claw like fingers. Its feet had long claws as well. Its teeth were large and blood stained. It had large blood red eyes. Its tail had a boney blade like form. It had thin brown fur with blood stained areas. Its long whiskers were probably what made it have such elegant running. It had a rough snarl and a scratchy hiss. It ran at them. Alonzo and Demeter ran one way Bombalurina and Munkustrap ran another way.

 

“What the fuck is that!” Alonzo cried.

 

“I dunno but there’s more!” Munkustrap replied. 2 more dodged towards them. “Open fire!” Munkustrap commanded. Alonzo and Demeter fired at one while Bombalurina and Munkustrap went solo. Bombalurina pulled out a grenade and threw it under the creature. It blew the creature along with a tree with it.

 

“Damn.” Bombalurina smiled. She went over to aid Munkustrap.

 

“Got anymore grenades?” Munkustrap called over to Bombalurina as she ran over.

 

“Yeah one more.” She pulled the pin and threw it under the creature, “Munkustrap get out of there!” She cried. Munkustrap dove out of the way and the grenade blew. “You ok?” She asked Munkustrap.

 

“Yeah.” They both ran over to Alonzo and Demeter, “Alonzo!” Alonzo was in he hands of the creature.

 

“Let me go you big fuck!” Alonzo snapped. He kicked the creature in the gut continuously. “Fucker!”

 

Munkustrap and Demeter began firing at the creature. “Aim for the head!” Munkustrap suggested.

 

Demeter looked over at him, “I’m sorry but which end is it’s head?”

 

“This is no time for jokes Dem!” Alonzo called. The creature tried to snap at Alonzo but his squirming made that impossible. The creature let out a loud roar like sound. Bombalurina threw a grenade and it landed in the mouth of the beast. It dropped Alonzo.

 

“Alonzo run!” Demeter screamed. Alonzo stood up and ran as fast as he could. The creature began chocking on the grenade. Then it exploded. Blood and guts flying everywhere.

 

“Shit.” Alonzo mumbled stunned he was alive. “That was close.”

 

“We don’t know how many there are out there. We got to get moving.” Munkustrap ran into the bus. He grabbed the biggest bag and came back out. “We can use these for now. Common.” They all grabbed 2 magnums and a G3 A3’s. “We have to get out of here. We don’t want to get caught in the blast.”

 

“How long do we got?” Demeter asked.

 

“Less then 10 minutes.” Munkustrap frowned. “Which is why we need to move, now!” The team began to run down the street. After 5 minutes they had to walk. Tired and exhausted the team went on. The sun began to come up. The sky turned a bright golden orange.

 

Alonzo sat down be a tree. “Common we can’t stop.” Demeter forced him back up.

 

“Aren’t we far enough away?” He moaned.

 

“Oh fuck…” Munkustrap looked at his watch.

 

“What?” Alonzo asked.

 

“Times up.”

 

The timer on the nuke went from 1 to 0 and the first one blew, along with the second one, and so on. A huge radiation wave sent them all flying. They flew to the ground. Huge winds started up and the dirt and sand took flight. After a couple minutes of harsh unconditionable weather, it stopped. Bombalurina looked up, following Demeter, Alonzo and Munkustrap. Their faces and cloths dark and dirty. There faces were black from the blast.

“Munkus, man wake up.” Alonzo whispered over to Munkustrap.

 

Munkustrap sat up, “Oh Fuck my head…” he groaned rubbing the back of his head. “Baby, you ok?”

 

Bombalurina didn’t reply.

 

“Baby!” He crawled over to her. She was breathing. “She’s knocked out.” Munkustrap replied. Her eyes twitched. She sat up and rubbed her back.

 

“Ow…” She moaned.

 

“Oh god I’m so glad your alright.” Demeter limped over to her. She hugged the scarlet queen.

 

“Yeah me too.” Bombalurina forced a smile. She had blood dripping down form her lip. They four limped out of the bus. “Where the fuck are we?”

Their faces and cloths dark and dirty. There faces were black from the blast.

Bombalurina and Demeter began laughing hysterically, “We fucking did it!” Demeter laughed.

 

“Oh my god…” Alonzo sat up, “We made it.”

 

“It’s over…” Demeter hugged Alonzo.

 

“No, it’s just getting started.” The Tugger came out of nowhere. “Thanks for helping me out of the bus.” He snapped.

 

“Where the hell did you come from?” Munkustrap asked.

 

“Well I’ve been following you guys since you left.” He replied, “I woke up when somebody set off a grenade.”

 

“Oh.” Demeter replied.

 

“Well, it wasn’t our fault, we didn’t see you.” Munkustrap defended. “The thing is your alright and that’s all that matters to you.”

 

“Oh gee thanks,” The Tugger laughed.

 

“Well now that everyone is here, lets move out.” Munkustrap ordered, “We’ll get a car somehow.” They all began walking down the street towards the rising sun.

 

“Well, at least we don’t have to worry about cannibal cats any more.” Alonzo smiled.

 

“Yeah, we just have to worry about Tugger now.” Demeter laughed.

 

This happened in an ordinary neighborhood in an ordinary café, on a casual day to an ordinary guy just minding his own business. This could happen to you!
