"Look, you really don't need her." Talon was saying to a weeping Claw as they walked through the Labyrinth. "You got us!" Claw buried his face in his hands. Hmmm...Maybe that was the wrong thing to say. Talon thought. "Come on, you can play with Lili before she goes to bed. That always cheers you up." Talon noticed Jeremy talking to some other boys. "Yo! Jeremy!" Talon called out. "You seen Maggie?"
"Saw her bring some food to the jailhouse." said Jeremy. "Guess snake boy's gotta eat too."
"Thanks." said Talon. "She'd probably be gone from there by now." Talon said to Claw as they walked towards the cell where they kept prisoners. "Thug's on guard duty. He'll tell us where she want. Plus, I wanna try interrogating Claudius again." What Talon saw at the jailhouse was a complete shock. "What the hell is he doing out of his cell?" Talon demanded, pointing at Claudius. He noticed Maggie sitting in a chair, bent over and holding her nose in a bloodstained handkerchief while Lili sat on her blanket, placidly chewing on her fingers. "Maggie?" He came closer to see a bruised lump on her forehead. "What did you do to her?" Talon demanded, causing lightning to spark from his hands. Claudius shuddered and cowered away.
"Settle down, Boss Cat." said Thug, grabbing his arm. "It's cool."
"Derrick, le'be explain." said Maggie, wiping her nose.
"Alright, Maggie." sighed Talon. "Explain. Explain why this dangerous monster isn't contained. And near our daughter no less!"
"Claudius saved our baby, Derrick." said Maggie. She wiped her nose and sniffled. The bleeding had mostly stopped. "I'll start from the beginning. I brought some food for Claudius. While we were eating, Thug was attacked. While he fought one of Thailog's...."
"Thailog?" interrupted Talon.
Maggie nodded and picked up Lili. "Claudius told me everything. Thailog had Sevarius clone more minions for him. Two of them came to take Lili away." Maggie hugged her baby closer. "One of them grabbed Lili from me. I tried to fight him for Lili, but he knocked me out cold."
"The one I was fighting managed to get the keys away from me." said Thug. "They let Claudius out, but, he turned on them. Saved your baby, then saved my sorry butt. That's them in the cell now." He pointed to the cell that used to hold Claudius, but now held an unconscious reptillian gargoyle with black hair and a gargoyle with speckled fur who was having convulsions.
Talon was aghast. This monster that tried to kill one of his charges had just saved his baby, and had confessed everything to Maggie. He scratched his head, trying to figure it out. "Maggie, I-I don't...how?"
"I gave him cookies and milk." she said with a smile.
"Hey, someone call for tech support?" asked Lexington, entering with Staghart and Tamora. Claw glared at Tamora and stormed out.
"Why'd you bring her here?" Talon asked, pointing at Tamora.
"Derrick, be nice." Maggie scolded.
"Nice?" sneered Talon. "Her little pet tried to kill me and she stomped poor Claw's heart flat!"
"I know what I did was wrong." said Tamora. "But I was afraid of my Master." She rubbed her bare neck. "But he can't hurt me anymore, so I'm not afraid!" She looked at Claudius. "Claudius! Lexington can take your collar off too! Will you let him?"
"Yessssss." hissed Claudius, slithering over to Lex. "Take it off!"
"I say, that's my line!" joked Staghart as Lex neutralized Claudius' collar. He looked over at the cell. "Say, love, when you're done there, there's two other blokes here wearing collars."
"Well, not like they're going anywhere soon." said Thug, unlocking the cell.
"Just a suggestion, mind you." said Staghart. "But if you want that blue one to live to sunrise, he's going to need a doctor."
Lex picked the tracking devices off the prisoners collar and added them to the one he took from Claudius. "Here." he gave them to Staghart. "Get rid of these on your way to get Dr. Sato."
"Right-O, love!" said Staghart. "Back in two shakes of a gargoyle's tail!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"O'Leary!" wailed Margot, clutching the dead canary to her chest.
"There, there, Margot." said Brendan, patting her shoulder.
"Everything's been going wrong lately!" she sobbed. "We have gargoyles running amuck, destroying property, killing people and innocent birds."
"A gargoyle didn't kill O'Leary." said Brendan.
"One of the police told me about a gargoyle in the park who was murdering those cute little duckies. And it had this ferocious beast at its command!" She sniffled. "And the dry cleaner accused me of doing something perverted when he cleaned my blazer. It turns out it wasn't pigeon poop, it was semen! No doubt from a gargoyle!"
"How can you be so sure, Margot?"
"It fell from the sky, Brendan! How many other people could drop their semen from the sky?" She whimpered. "And now my little O'Leary is dead! How can things get worse?" She felt three sharp strikes on her head. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" she rubbed her head. "Who threw that?" She looked up just in time to see a winged silhouette glide away. "Come back you monster!" Margot shouted. "My husband will tear you a new one!"
"N-now let's not get carried away, dear." said Brendan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oops. Staghart thought, glancing down at the irate blonde. I really should've looked before I just dropped those tracking devices. Oh well, too late to do anything about it now. He sought out the apartment building Dr. Sato had shown the gargoyles where he lived, in case he was needed in an emergency.
Meanwhile, little Kay Sato was playing with her Barbies. She dressed Barbie's Asian friend Kira up in Dr. Barbie's lab coat. When she was satisfied with the appearance, she picked up a blonde Barbie she had dressed in a pink and white polka dotted mini. "Help me, Dr. Kira!" she made Barbie say. "What seems to be the trouble, Barbie?" she made Kira say. "My leg keeps coming off!" Kay popped off Barbie's leg, then pretended Kira was making a diagnosis. "Hmm...you seem to have a case of legpopitis! Let me help you with that." She pretended Kira popped the leg back in place. "Now we'll just wrap it in these bandages!" Kay began winding a length of toilet paper around Barbie's leg. Her play was interrupted by the sound of a tapping at her window.
Kay went to the window and pulled back the curtain. Her jaw dropped and her eyes went wide at what she saw. She quickly opened the window and asked "Are you a reindeer?"
Staghart chuckled. Little children so often assumed that. "I am a friend of your daddy's." he said. "Tell him I need him right away."
"OK!" She turned and ran in search of her father.
"I'm just asking you to think about it, Sandra." Dr. Sato was saying to his wife. "Xanatos is offering me a sizable salary and a very nice suite to live in. The Aerie Tower is in a very good school district."
"I don't know, Jay." sighed Sandra. "Those gargoyles...they scare me! There's that one on the loose that killed two officers. Plus, some of the kids at the shelter have been telling me stories about a Blue Lady with wings." Mrs. Sandra Sato was a social worker. "I thought at first it was just scary stories like the Boogieman or Bloody Mary. When some of them turned up with bleeding marks, I thought they were just covering for abusive parents. But now, I start to wonder."
"Sandra," said Dr. Sato. "They invited me to a...wedding ceremony of sorts on Saturday. Come with me, and you'll see that they're perfectly...."
"Daddy! Daddy!" yelled Kay, running into the living room. "One of Santa's reindeer is at my bedroom window! He wants to talk to you!"
Dr. Sato smiled. "Now, Kay, isn't it a bit soon to think about Christmas?"
"I mean for reals!" said Kay, hopping in place. "He's so pretty! He's got white fur and bright blue eyes and his horns are all silvery like the moon."
Dr. Sato nodded. "I think I know him." he said, his tone suddenly becoming serious. He went to Kay's bedroom. "Hello, Staghart." he said to the gargoyle outside the window. "What's up?"
"Been another poisoning at the Labyrinth." said Staghart.
"Same creature?" asked Dr. Sato. Staghart nodded. "I better grab my bag and a dose of polyvalent crotalid antivenin." He left the room.
"Hi!" Staghart smiled at the mother and daughter left behind. Kay smiled brightly, but her mother blanched as her eyes nearly bugged out.
"So, uh," Sandra stammered. "You're a gargoyle?"
"Last time I checked." said Staghart. "Do I have the pleasure of addressing Mrs. Sato?"
"Y-Yes." Sandra nodded. "Um, Jay says you're having a wedding Saturday?"
Staghart smiled brightly, not realizing that the sight of his fangs startled Sandra. "Why yes!" he said. "I'll be one of the lucky grooms."
"One?"
"It's a double ceremony." Staghart explained. "Saves time, you know."
"How come you talk like Paddington Bear?" asked Kay.
"Kay!" Sandra was afraid her child said something offensive.
Staghart just giggled. "Do you like Paddington Bear?" he asked.
"Uh-huh. I got the cartoons on video."
"I'm from England, Sweetie." said Staghart. "Just like Paddington and his friends."
"I'm ready." said Dr. Sato, coming in, carrying his bag. "Staghart, I trust you want me to come in the quickest way possible."
"Of course." Staghart backed away from the window, allowing Dr. Sato to join him on the fire escape. Staghart crouched down with his back to Dr. Sato and spread his wings.
"Jay!" Sandra protested. "You're not going to...."
"I've done it before. It's quite safe." Dr. Sato kissed his wife on the cheek. "Back when I can." He kissed his daughter. "Be a good girl, Kay, and you can come to the wedding with us on Saturday. I'll even introduce you to the mermaid I operated on."
"Wow!" was all she could say. She watched her father climb onto the back of the gargoyle and waved good-bye as they glided away into the night.

Once the collars were neutralized, Lex went in search of Claw. He found him grousing in a stairwell, head on hands. "Hey, Claw, got a second?" Claw looked up at Lex and shrugged. "Listen, Claw," Lex scratched the back of his neck. "I'm not the best on giving romantic advice, but, I-I think you need to give Tamora another chance." Claw frowned even deeper. "Claw, remember when Fang put himself in charge? You did what he said because you were afraid of him. Well, it's the same with Tamora. Thailog's been making her do things because she's afraid of him." Claw's expression softened a bit. "But she doesn't have to be afraid of him anymore! For two good reasons. One, I got rid of the collar he was using to hurt her and two, she's got you to protect her. If you will protect her." Claw smiled and stood up. Lex was right. He couldn't judge Tamora for doing what he had done in a similar situation. And maybe, just maybe, there really had been some feelings on her part. One way to find out. He made the "Thank you" sign to Lex and went to look for her.
He found her standing alone, leaning against a wall, her tail twitching. He touched her shoulder. She turned her head and was surprised to see him smiling at her. "Claw?" She sighed. "You have every right to hate me for what I've done." Claw shook his head and took her hands in his, lifting them to his lips. "You forgive me? Oh, Claw! I never...never thought there was anyone in the world like you. I thought everyone was as harsh and cold as Thailog, and then I found you." Claw held up his right hand, his middle and ring fingers bent down. Tamora mirrored the gesture as best as she could with four talons, not quite sure what it meant. Claw embraced her with both arms and wings, holding her close to him for a very long time.
In the cell, Tybalt gave a short squeak when Dr. Sato injected the needle into his buttock, then lay still. "Trash bag." he prompted. Staghart opened the sturdy plastic bag with the bio-hazard symbol on it so Dr. Sato could dispose of the needle. "Circular Band-Aid." Staghart gave him a round adhesive bandage to cover the injection site. "Antiseptic creme." Staghart gave him a tube of gel that Dr. Sato used to dress the claw marks Maggie had put on his arms.
"If you ask me," said Talon. "He deserves every mark for hurting Maggie and trying to take Lili!"
"Gauze." Dr. Sato prompted Staghart to give him a roll of gauze. "Ever hear of the Geneva Convention?" he asked, wrapping up the wounded arms.
"I never been much into Europop." said Talon.
"Derrick!" Maggie whipped at his arm with her handkerchief.
"It's a joke!" Talon said.
Dr. Sato pinned the bandages in place and examined Brutus. "He'll probably come around soon. With a splitting headache."
"You might wanna come out of there then, Doc." Talon decided. Dr. Sato got out of the cell so Talon could lock it. "Could you take a quick look at Maggie?"
"Derrick, it was only a bloody nose." said Maggie. "I'm fine now."
"Let's take a look anyway." said Dr. Sato, getting a tiny flashlight out of his bag. "Look up." He inspected her nose. "OK, bleeding's stopped. Of course, a sneeze could start it again. If it does, just pinch it shut and keep your head down. And that's quite a goose egg you got, Maggie." He pointed at the lump on her forehead. "Did you lose consciousness?"
"I-I'm not sure." said Maggie. "It probably wasn't for a long time."
"OK, I'd like to test your pupils, see if they dilate." He held an eye open and shined a light in it. "Good. Now follow my finger with your eyes." She did. "Good. She's probably not concussed, but I'd recommend waking her up after she's been asleep for two hours."
"I'm a mother." said Maggie. "I'm used to that."
Dr. Sato chuckled and took an endothermic ice pack out of his bag and gave it a few good hard squeezes. "Put this on your head. It will bring down the swelling." Maggie put the pack on her head. "Then just take two aspirin and call me in the morning!" Dr. Sato chuckled and closed his bag. "Take me home, Staghart? It's time for Kay's bedtime story."
"Will do." said Staghart. "Oh, and Talon, Bachelor party at Stonewall tomorrow night. Hope to see you there."
"Uh, I'll come." Talon was a little uncomfortable at the idea of walking into a gay bar, but it was the only type of establishment where gargoyles would be welcomed.
"Maggie," said Staghart. "Hope you'll be well enough to come to Angela's bridal shower. Bring Tamora, I'm sure she'd like to meet her."
"Keeping it in mind." she said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next evening, Thailog was out searching for his minions, Brentwood, Salome and Goneril following. It was not good. Shylock was still out of range. Four tracking devices were found scattered in the street. Caliban's dead body was found in the Labyrinth. Octavia's tracking device had been found in Central Park, inside an owl pellet. Perhaps the very one that owl had dropped on him the first night he went in search of Octavia. It was unlikely that a creature as big as Octavia would be eaten by an owl, so she must be alive somewhere. Thailog followed Tamora's signal to the edge of the park. He found a cross made with Popscicle sticks embedded in the ground, the name "O'Leary" written on it in Sharpie. According to the meter, Tamora, or at least her tracking device, was buried a foot below it. Thailog clawed up the earth only to dig up an Altoid tin that contained a dead canary. He sat there and growled. Ten minions, and now only two.
"Thailog always have Brentwood." Brentwood said, putting his arms on Thailog's shoulders. Well, he could always count on Brentwood's loyalty.
"Salome!" They heard a voice from above cry out. They looked up to see Hollywood come in for a landing. He ran up to the clone of Angela and embraced her. "Salome! Me glad me find you!"
She returned the embrace. "I'm so glad too, Hollywood!" Salome looked over Hollywood's shoulder and winked at Thailog. Thailog smiled.
"You will always have a home at Night Stone, Hollywood." said Thailog. "Would you like to go home with us?" Half a loaf was better than none.
"Yes!" Hollywood said with a smile. "Hollywood go with Salome!"
"Let's go home right away, sweetie." cooed Salome, stroking Hollywood's arm. They scaled a tree together and glided away.
"We all happy, right Thailog?" Brentwood asked, taking his hand.
Thailog forced a grin. "Right." he said. Truthfully, he wasn't happy. He lost the bulk of his new minions, only managed to reclaim one of his old ones and as far as he knew, Delilah was still alive. Oh, well, Thailog thought as he scaled the tree. Tomorrow is another day. "Come along, Goneril!" he shouted down to the grousing female.
"Coming!" sighed Goneril. She couldn't believe it. Salome had been the one to succeed in seducing a male to their side. That wasn't going to make her look good. And those two other males barely even looked at her! She was going to have to step up her game, else Thailog might become unhappy with her. And an unhappy Thailog was not good.
