Chapter 3: Unmasked
~ Police Headquarters ~
“Sir, what are we to do about the SWAT Kat case in the murder of Hard Drive? It’s still an open case” The soldier saluted to Commander Feral as he stood gazing out the windows and down on the city, the panther thought long and hard until he grabbed his coat off his seat and began to walk out the door. “Sir?”
“I have someone to see about that, pay no mind to it soldier. I have to see someone I haven’t been nice to in a long ass time.” Feral explained as he walked towards the elevator waiting for it to come to the top floor, finally the bell rung as the doors opened and the Commander went inside. Turning around to see the soldier still standing in his place looking confused, the doors closed as the elevator made its way to the bottom floor, Feral thought to himself as he stood tall and strong.
“Chance Ferlong, so you were one of the elusive SWAT Kats after all huh? Can’t say I’m not surprised, you were one of our best pilots. I’m starting to wonder though; Jake Clawson was giving birth at that same hospital, in the same room where you killed Hard Drive. I don’t believe in coincidence, and if I’m right you both have a lot of explaining to do.” Commander Feral snapped out of his deep thinking as the elevator stopped and the doors opened, the tall panther power walked out of the building and to the police parking garage. Feral noticed his niece walking to her own car, Feral couldn’t be any more happy to see her. “Lieutenant, are you off duty right now?”
“Yes uncle, what’s up?” Felina took off her uniform vest and stretched out her shoulder muscles.
“I need you to come with me on a secret operation, and bring you pistol with you” Commander feral opened the door to his car and got inside, Felina was surprised at what he said, but she followed his instructions and got into the passenger side of the car. Quickly the police vehicle backed out of the parking space and sped out of the parking garage and onto the streets of MegaKat City.
“Uncle, what’s going on? Where are we going?” Felina questioned as she put on her seat belt, Feral drove out too fast before she could fasten herself in; she checked her ammo in her gun and smiled knowing it was still full.
“We’re going to the junkyard Felina, unexpected and most likely uninvited.”
“Then why armed? I mean the only one’s there are Chance and Jake, they’re nice. You should really try to get that debt off their shoulders uncle, they’re good pilots and….”
“And they’re the SWAT Kats” Feral interrupted, Felina laughed at the statement for a moment until she looked back at her uncle who’s facial expression didn’t change one bit. Slowly her smile vanished as the seconds passed.
“You’re serious aren’t you?” Felina asked.
“Chance is T-Bone, he showed me his face the day he killed Hard Drive because his mate was in that same hospital giving birth.” Feral sped past 3 red lights already, Felina held onto the dashboard for dear life. “His mate was also attacked, in the same room where Hard Drive died at”
“But the files said that Jake Clawson gave birth in that room. You mean…..” Felina gasped as she put the pieces together, Jake was Chance’s mate! The news blew her mind with questions.
“Felina, he’s more than his mate…..if one of the Enforcers former pilot is the pilot for the SWAT Kats, then who do you think is his partner who also got booted from the force?” Felina’s eyes opened wide, it made perfect sense.
“But that still doesn’t explain where they got the jet from? Or their weapons? Or a lot of other things uncle?”
“That’s why we’re on our way to find out; if we’re going to get information I want to get it from them directly. I wanted you to be armed because I don’t think T-Bone told Razor what he did for me to let him go, and since they had kittens I’m sure he won’t be able to leave them behind.” Feral’s car finally connected to the main road that leads to the junkyard, they would be there within minutes.
“You want us to use their kittens as bait, or hostages?” Felina questioned tucking her weapon in the back of her pants.
“If need be, yes. But I’m getting to the bottom of this once and for all, after figuring out that Jake is most likely Razor I have to know more.” The sign on the road indicated the junkyard was less than a mile way, Feral floored it as the car now reached 90 mph on a 40 mph road.
~ Jake’s Room ~
Jake dressed in his white silk pants and short sleeve shirt before going back into the kitten’s room, Chance stood over Lance’s crib wearing only his black boxer briefs; he continued to make funny faces at his son while the kitten smiled and tried to reach for his father. Chance would stick his finger into the crib to let Lance hold onto it, trying to see if the baby would be able to hold on while Chance lifted his hand higher with each grasp.
“Stop teasing him already Chance, that’s not the nice thing to do to your son” Jake wrapped his arms around Chance’s waist hugging tight, Chance purred lightly as patted Lance on the head before standing up straight again.
“Hey, he’s still got energy to burn. Might as well try to get him to use it all up before he goes to sleep, Lord knows Emma is the daytime kat of the two and little Lance is the knight Owl.” Chance began to walk towards Jake’s old closet where they kept the kitten’s toys and clothing, Chance dug into the drawer and took out a stuffed snake that rattled. “I don’t know why he loves this toy, it would have scared the living daylights out of me if I was little” Chance smirked as he heard Lance’s laughter when he saw his toy, going back to the crib he placed the snake next to Lance watching the kitten hold onto it tight. Both Chance’s and Jake’s ears popped in the air, they could have sworn there was a car outside and they were right when they heard two slam sounds from the car doors. “Someone at this hour of the night? They should know we’re closed……how did they get by the gate?” Chance looked out the window but couldn’t see anything in the dark; he could only tell that the car was silver with a blue line running across the side of the car, it looked familiar somehow. Like a car he’s worked on before.
“I locked the gate, that’s odd” Jake said as he smiled down on Lance, there was a hard knock on the door downstairs. Chance left the room and went downstairs to the front door.
“I’m sorry buddy, but we’re….” Chance lost his words as he gazed at the figures standing in front of him, the taller one already had his gun drawn and pointed at Chance.
“We need to have a little talk Chance, mind if we come in?” Commander Feral asked, Chance slowly backed up and let the two enforcers inside. Felina closed the door behind herself as she saw the light coming from upstairs and the sound of faint. Immediately she began to go upstairs without permission from Chance, but he knew he had no say in what they did; Feral put his weapon down and put the safety on. “I don’t mean to barge in like this, but you knew I would come one day. Might as well be a day you would never expect me to visit. Now then Chance, is there a place we can talk?”
”The kitchen, follow me Commander” Chance’s tone was stern and direct, he lead them both into the kitchen and turned on the lights; both kats sat across from one another at the table. “So, what do you wish to talk about sir?”
“Tell me everything SWAT Kat, I need to fill in the hole of my theories” Commander Feral sat up straight in his chair, he knew this would take some time for Chance to explain, it was a good thing he scheduled off tonight.
Felina reached the top of the stairs and slowly made her way to the room, she could see Jake leaning forward against a crib with his elbows on the bar, and a small kitten was moving on the inside; Jake’s tail slowly swayed from side to side in a calm manor. Felina didn’t want to startle him, but when she placed her hand on the frame of the doorway it made a squeak sound that gave away her position.
“Do Chance, who was at the door?” Jake turned his head, his heart skipped a beat as he shot up and froze in his place, Felina entered the room but kept her distance. “Felina Feral! What are you doing here?”
“Hello Jake, I came to see the kittens. I’ve heard all that you’ve been through and I didn’t get to stop by months ago to see how you were doing; I was a bit under the weather myself.” She explained in a calm manor, Jake was a bit surprised as he looked back on Jake who continued to play with his toy, Emma slept sound and quiet in her own crib. “Jake I have to ask you something, how well can you handle computers?”
“Very well, I did go to college for computer science before joining with the Enforcers. You should know that Felina” Jake said as he tried to act casual.
“Yeah, I’m sorry but I was given some surprising news by uncle”
“What more does he say about us now? We’ve done enough still paying off the debt we owe.” Jake snorted; he picked up an empty bottle that layed in Lance’s crib from lunchtime.
“Well, I’m sure you use some extra cash to fix up things around here, find things in the junkyard and put them together.”
“Or we pay for the bills, out food and taking care of our kittens more like it. Felina I have nothing against you but your uncle has put us through enough for something that wasn’t our fault in the first place. Chance could have taken Dark Kat out years ago and now he still roams free, and yet he’s still in charge and breathing down out necks” Jake gripped the bottle tight in his hand, if he remembered correctly Felina was someone who always had some sort of weapon on her persons at all time.
“I agree he can be harsh but his job is stressful, protecting the city and enforcing the law. Catching criminals and trying to catch the SWAT Kats…”
“You mean the actual people protecting this city” Jake interrupted, Felina was getting aggravated and decided now was the time, she moved closer to the crib to see the male kitten in full view still playing with his snake. Her right hand was behind her back brushing the handle of her pistol, she noticed Jake look at her with shifty eyes.
“You would know” Felina said softly, almost in a whisper as she grabbed her gun and took it out the back of her pants, before she could point it at Jake the chocolate colored tom squirted the remaining liquid from the bottle at her face watching the mist spray enter her eyes. Growling to herself, Felina backed up a little still holding her weapon in the area Jake was; she managed to open her eyes a little onto to feel her body fly towards the doorway when Jake connected his kick to her stomach. Felina scrambled to get up as she brushed her eyes for a moment, raising her pistol with her finger on the trigger. “STOP RIGH THERE!” Without hesitation she fired a single shot in the room, the bullet hit the ceiling fan light as small pieces of glass fell onto Jake; now the room became pitch black except for the areas lit up by the hallway light. Felina stood there for a moment, still holding onto her pistol pointing in the dark, Lance began to cry as he wiggled around his spot with small fragments of glass were sprinkled inside of his crib. Felina slowly walked towards the entrance trying to hear anything besides the wail of the kitten; suddenly she saw a small flash of red light up and more towards her. She fired her shots at it only to see it bounce off, before she could move feline was pinned to the wall by an Octopus Missile; she struggled as the small booster ran out of gas. Jake quickly came out of the room with his kittens in both hands, Lance muffled his cries in his father’s shoulder, Emma was wide away being held in his other arm, the arm that was equip with his GloveTrix. Jake didn’t waste any time and went downstairs.
“Chance, we got a problem” Jake turned the corner to see Chance and Commander Feral in the living room, Feral held onto his own pistol tight, but not threatening Chance or Jake with it. Jake’s heart skipped a beat; they were discovered finally by the one person who put them in the junkyard. Noise could be hear from upstairs as feline managed to pull the metal claws off of her, she followed downstairs and noticed everyone standing still. Chance went over to Jake and pulled Lance off of his shoulder cradling the kitten in his own arms, Jake was still speechless.
“There was something I never told you Jake, and now I think it the right time” Chance smirked a little, knowing there was nothing funny about this situation.
~ The Kitchen~
Felina held onto Emma rocking the kitten back to sleep in her arms, Lance continued to hold onto Lance as he sat at the kitchen table with the rest of the group. For the past hour they’ve discussed how they were able to create the TurboKat and the rest of their transportation vehicles. Their weapons were part of Jake’s idea, in the subbasement he kept his schematics and design charts for the missiles; also the fact they didn’t take long building the landing bay underground since there was a large creator sized hole in the ground when they explored the junkyard.
“Just how were you able to beat the firepower that the Enforcers had?” Feral asked he took a sip of coffee from the mug Jake handed to him earlier.
“I just messed around with some wires and put my know-how into works, and we were able to have faster machines and stronger weapons. It took a while and a lot of test runs but we managed to make some useful weapons to fight off maniacs like Dark Kat.” Jake went to the refrigerator and pulled out a can of beer, something he hardly drinks; but he opened the top and began to pound it away. Chance just looked at Jake for a moment before taking a sip of his own Raspberry MilkOff he got himself.
“I just can’t believe we never even suspected you two, out of all the people in MegaKat City, out hero’s were right under our noses” Felina stated, there was a awkward silence that fell upon them, no one knew what to say or do from that moment. Feral got up from his seat for a moment, everyone looked at him.
“I’ve been trying to catch you for years; now that I know who you are…..it confuses and angers me more than anything has before. We’ll make the Hard Drive murder a close case with no leads. That’s my favor to you” He began to walk out of the kitchen, Felina handed Lance over to Jake and quickly followed suit. Both Chance and Jake heard the front door open and close, Jake placed his empty can on the counter and slowly made his way upstairs, Chance turned off the light in the kitchen and joined his lover in the kitten’s room moments later.
“So, you had no other choice? You would only do that if you had no other option Chance, tell me why though” Jake pleaded as he placed Jake in his crib after brushing off the shards of glass off from it, he looked over to Chance who did the same with Emma.
“Because if I hadn’t told Feral right then and there, they would have taken me to the station instead of the hospital, you know what would have happened to you and our kittens.” Chance explained, Jake walked out of the room and waited for Chance to close the door behind himself. “I love you, but it had to be done Jake. I couldn’t see any other way of escaping.” Jake only hugged Chance holding back his sobs the best he could. Both kats returned to Chance’s room and finally went to sleep for the night, now they had to wait to see if Commander Feral was going to keep his word and drop all charges on the SWAT Kats.
