Schwenk glanced around the place—it was small but it would do. "I've got that bed..." he pointed to a comfy bed wedged in the corner.
The tiger shrugged. "I have no complaints, Schwenk…It’s all yours."
Cassie surveyed the room. "I don't feel comfortable sharing a room with two strangers I have just met. Surely this place has another private bedroom on the floor?"
"You came to us...shut up and go to sleep or fuck off!" Schwenk climbed into bed.
Cassie sniffed with wet tears forming in her eyes she turned to Lumar. "Why is that human so mean? I don't like people yelling at me...I'm very sensitive!" She covered her face weeping; the Beni glowered over at Schwenk, "Unfortunately it is in his nature to be mean...Just ignore him, Cassie...Come on...let's see what we can do."
Schwenk rolled his eyes and snuggled down. "Keep the damn noise down!"
Lumar sent Cassie to have a nice long bath then taking some bed sheets he draped them across a line he had strung up effectively dividing the room to give the lioness more privacy. "Come on Schwenk, lighten up..."
"You're so dumb, aren't you?!! Repeatedly hit with the 'stupid stick'..."
"I'm not dumb...I wish you wouldn't keep saying that. You're just jealous because she came to me for help isn't that right?"
"When we're in Sh’iar custody I'll remind you of this!!" The human harped.
Lumar blew out his breath in frustration. "Schwenk, she is not a Sh'iar! I told you already she is too beautiful to be a Sh'iar! They are horrible genetically altered beasts! I refuse to believe that she could be one of them...she is a delicate flower...she couldn't hurt a fly."
"Oh you're so fucking NAIVE!!!!" he screamed.
"Schwenk keep your voice down! I am not naive..."
"You are....a flash of tits and you're anybody's....it was probably you who got Teegara killed..." he instantly wished he hadn't said that.
Lumar's expression changed; it was as though Schwenk had sucker punched him in the gut with his words--the tiger's usually sedate green eyes literally blazed red filled with fury. The Beni gave a deafening roar and attacked!
"No....I'm sorry!!" Schwenk cringed flopping under the covers attempting to act passively.
Cassie hearing the commotion raced out of the bathroom in time to see Lumar getting ready to turn the human into sushi! “Oh shit...” Crys muttered under her breath...she needed them both alive and undamaged. She ran around the tiger and flung herself protectively across the human. "Lumar--NO! I will not allow you to take this human's life! Please...you are a good man...don't do it!"
Claws extended Lumar had his big hand raised high above his head ready to bring it down in a swiping motion to open up Schwenk. With Cassie using her body as a shield protecting the human, he stopped himself and slowly lowered his arm. Cassie breathed a sigh of relief. "Why don't you go into the kitchen Lumar and find us something to eat...I'm starving." The tiger wordlessly left the bedroom.
"Shit....Sorry, Lumar....I didn't mean it!!" Schwenk panted, his heart thumped heavily in his chest.
The she-cat turned on the cowering human hissing. "Maybe I should have let him damage you--would have served you right! I saved your life now if I were a Sh'iar would I have done so?"
Schwenk looked at her and then the kitchen. He had an idea. "Lumar....get out here...I've got an idea!!" he yelled.
The tiger lumbered half-heartedly back into the bedroom. "What do you want Schwenk?"
Cassie frowned suspiciously at the human not liking the way his beady eyes watched her...
"I'm asking for proof, right? If she can prove she ain't Sh’iar...I'll shut the hell up, OK??"
"What sort of proof? What do you have in mind?" Lumar asked sulkily. "I hope you're not planning something awful."
"I'm planning on a conclusive test...." Schwenk climbed out of the bed and walked over to the far side of the room where the golden idol rested. "One tiny test and I'll be satisfied, Lumie..."
Cassie laid a hand on the big tiger's arm. "It's all right Lumar...I'll take his test whatever it is...I am not afraid." She stared defiantly at Schwenk. "Give me your test and I'll prove to you that I am not a Sh'iar."
"Excellent..." he beamed. "So...you stole this idol...So...you hate the Sh’iars, right?"
"Of course!" The she-cat spat. "I hate the Sh'iars with every fibre of my being!"
He placed the idol on the floor, a yard in front of her. "OK, so piss on the idol...if you hate them you can....if you're one of them, you couldn't possibly blaspheme like that!" he winked.
Cassie stared at the human. "Y-you want me to piss on the idol?! YOU want me to URINATE on it in front of you?!"
Lumar gave Schwenk an incredulous look of disgust. "I can't believe you are going to make her do that! Cassie you don't have to degrade yourself!"
"She don't...BUT....I'll think she's Sh’iar...and Lumar....she IS Sh’iar....a murdering psychopath! What's a little wee, hell, we'll turn away while you do it, not that one lioness snatch don't look a lot like another!"
Crys gritted her teeth and made a silent vow to make the human suffer when AND if Argo decided to give the order to capture them. She then said a quick prayer begging for forgiveness from the Phoenix for what she was about to do..."Well if that is the case--pay close attention!" The she-cat whipped off her towel, walked over to the statue, and squatted boldly urinating over it much to Lumar's horror. He rushed over and quickly covered her naked body with a blanket he pulled from the bed. "Go into the bathroom and clean yourself." He ordered then to Schwenk. "I'm going outside for a walk...I can't begin to tell you how much I-I despise you right now."
"Lumar.....don't overreact...you'll thank me for this later..." he placed his arm on Lumar's
The huge Beni pulled his arm away growling and left.
After some time, Cassie came out of the bathroom dressed in a robe and glared at Schwenk. "You are a fucking arsehole."
"It's OK...you peed...we can be friends now, Cassie..."
The lioness snarled skirting around Schwenk. "Somehow I don't think we'll EVER be friends! I'm going to find Lumar and make certain he's all right."
"He's fine....don't you worry about him...I'm sorry about not believing you, but....you know what those Sh’iar are like, right?"
"They are animals, but compared to you I think I would rather hang around them!"
Schwenk smiled. "Sassy bitch ain't ya?" he winked. "Nice snatch too..." he chuckled.
Outraged Cassie grabbed the nearest object at hand, a book and hurled it at the human purposely missing him. If her throw had been accurate, she would have taken off his head! "You are a worm!" She screamed and exited...Crys left the house walking out into the darkness in search of the Bengalian tiger. She didn't have to travel far, he was at the back of the house perched on a concrete wall idly tugging at his tail...Now was the time to pick the big cat's mind for information...
"Hey Lumar." Cassie called. "Are you all right?"
"Cassie...I'm SO damn sorry about...about....him!!" he shook his head. "He's just scared, that's all..."
"Scared? It's impossible to believe that he could be scared of anybody!" She sat beside the big cat and rested her head on his muscular arm.
"Oh....he most assuredly is!!" Lumar nodded affirmatively. "Schwenk has lived with cats for many years, he can cope with them....mostly...but he knows his limits!"
This was interesting information Crys mused thinking..."So why are you two on the run? What have you done to be at this safe house?"
"Oh...well...I probably shouldn't say, Cas...." he scratched his neck.
Cassie rubbed her head against Lumar's shoulder eliciting a low purr from the tiger. "Well I guess that's okay if you feel you shouldn't...It's just that I told you why the Sh'iars were after me...and I thought we were kindred spirits you know with us both being on the run..,." Cassie tickled under Lumar's chin; he grinned down at her.
"Well....OK....but I didn't want to endanger you as well..." he sighed. "We stole some Sh’iar gold and.....Well..." The tiger looked very awkward. "Schwenk went too far..."
"As long as I am with you Lumar, I don't feel I'm in danger...What did the human do?"
"Killed a priest...I was horrified..." The Beni paled. "Schwenk is a human...he didn't understand..."
Cassie shook her head. "And through all this you are still with the human? I don't understand your loyalty to him..." Her eyes narrowed slightly. "Could it be
Schwenk killed the priest deliberately under orders by another faction you think?"Lumar frowned. "Another faction?? Like who?"
"ThunderCats...” she said quietly almost throwing up from mentioning her dreaded enemies; Cassie fluttered her long eyelashes making the tiger's heart beat faster. "What do you think?"
"Schwenk has no friends in those places.....but..." he wondered.
The she-cat gracefully hopped off of the wall. "Oh well...it could be nothing at all...it was just a thought." Ha ha ha...she had sown the seeds of doubt in the tiger's mind--the next person to question would be Schwenk now that his mind was eased of suspicion over her not being a Sh'iar. "Lumar--let's go inside...I'm feeling cold plus I'm starving!"
"OK, yes...I'm not sure what food we have in this place though..." he shrugged.”There may even be no food....not sure what we'd do then...."
"Don't forget there is always Schwenk--we can dine on him!" Cassie joked seizing the tiger's hand.
He chuckled. "I don't think he'd see the funny side of THAT comment..." he squeezed her hand back affectionately.
"Ah humans are such strange creatures..."
Once inside, they banged several cupboards open rifling through the contents. Yes, there was food for the felines but nothing that the human would find palatable. Cassie held up a tin and showed it to Lumar--it said, ‘Thunderian Cat Chow made from processed road kill’. "Let's open this and share it with Schwenk!"
The tiger raised an eyebrow. "Schwenk would be insufferable all damn night...I guess I'll need to go and get something for him..." he sighed.
"Like what? What do humans eat? Are you going hunting to bring back fresh meat? Or why don't you just kill a rat or something?"
He laughed. "Humans do not eat rats.....No; I'll go to a vendor and buy something he'd find palatable....probably something deep fried..."
Cassie screwed up her face in disgust. "Deep fried? Now that is totally disgusting! Humans deep fry their food? Why would they do something stupid like that? They don't know what they are missing by not eating a fresh kill."
"It would likely kill them...They're hot house flowers...Not everyone enjoys raw....but he's good to me....he allows me my diet....even buys me living food...."
"You are lucky then...I have to make a living stealing to get money to buy my food." The she-cat sighed wistfully. "You go on then...I'll stay with Schwenk and try to strike up a conversation with him."
Lumar smiled. "I won't be long...don't look so worried...."
"Okay...it's just that he frightens me, Lumie." Cassie shuddered.
"I promise you...Schwenk will not hurt you..." he left through the front door.
"Lumar..." Cassie called running up to the big tiger. "Hurry back...” she went up on her toes and planted a gentle kiss on his furry cheek.
He went red and rushed away. Just then Schwenk came through. "Oh....where's Lumie?"
The she-cat whirled around. "Oh...he just left to get you something palatable to eat...He said you wouldn't want to share our tin of Thunderian Cat Chow made from processed road kill. Is that true?"
He pulled a face. "That's disgusting! Mind you, cats lick their own arse, soooooo....what's a bit of road kill..."
"Who said that? Only the lower class do that." Cassie pushed a lock of her long dark brown mane aside. "Would you like some coffee while we wait for Lumar?" With the tiger gone, now was the time to pick the human's brain...
"Coffee? You making?" Schwenk was taken slightly by the thawing in her attitude.
The she-cat nodded. "I may live on the streets but I think I make a mean cup of java." Cassie motioned for the human to join her at the table. "Lumar explained that you acted the way you did because you were scared...I understand now that I have had the time to think."
"Well.....maybe..." he was annoyed that Lumar had been blabbing. "I'm sorry you....uh…peed...."
She waved it off. "At least you know I'm not one of...them." the lioness shuddered for emphasis while plugging in the kettle. "If you are in so much trouble, why haven't you gone to ...the ThunderCats for uh help?"
He didn't reply for a while. "ThunderCats? They would do fuck all....everyone knows that the Sh’iar rule the ThunderCats...So the T-Cats don't make waves..."he snorted.
Cassie nearly dropped the cup she was holding. "Is that right? Everyone on the street always talks about the ThunderCats with awe...I've seen them...they're so very majestic..."
"Sure they are...but they let the Sh’iar do what they want...they need taking down a few pegs, that's for sure!!" Schwenk nodded.
"Nobody can touch the Sh'iar...I wouldn't want to even try....But do you know the reason why the ThunderCats leave the Sh'iar alone?" Cassie asked measuring out the coffee mixture. "I bet you don't know..."
"I'm afraid I do not..." he shook his head.
"A friend told me that it's guilt...they feel guilty because they were once kin...Then one of the ThunderCat scientists got the brilliant idea of producing 'special' ThunderCats to protect the nobility."
He snorted. "Nothing special about Sh’iars! Fuckers!! Only thing special is their extra arrogance!"
"And don't forget their bloodthirsty nature." Cassie placed the completed cup of coffee in front of Schwenk. "Go ahead and drink." She picked up her own cup and took a dainty sip. "Mmmm now that's good."
He took a healthy slurp. "Very nice...tasty....Thank you. Yes....bloodthirsty....well....savage, really...like I said...all fuckers! It's just slice and dice with them, no finesse and no skills of interrogation...."
Cassie raised an eyebrow. "Now how would you know this? You talk as though you've seen them in action."
"Oh I've heard the tales...they kill their enemies swiftly, brutally and move on..."
"It's in their nature...its how they were bred...Sh'iars are killing machines." The she-cat stated; she put her cup down and paled. "Could we talk about something else? I don't enjoy talking about the Sh'iars."
"No? Well, I've got nothing good to say about them....the only good one is a....Hey, did Lumar tell you...about the priest?"
Cassie picked up her coffee cup. "Yes, as a matter of fact, he did...He mentioned gold and the killing of a priest."
"Yeah..." Schwenk chuckled. "The filthy old god-basher had all this gold...and then, when I asked all politely for it he got all mouthy...so...I taught him a lesson..." he smirked.
The she-cat gripped the cup hard almost breaking it. "Lumar said you killed the priest and by doing so you placed yourselves in danger...I believe that is the reason why you're in this safe house."
"Exactly...mind you, don't get me wrong...it's because those filthy Sh’iars want their gold back! They don't give a flying fuck about the dead priest!!"
"How would you know?" The lioness asked.
"Common knowledge!" he snorted.
She shrugged rising from the table. "If you'll excuse me, I am going to change...I'll be right back."
He frowned. "Are you OK? I...I haven't offended you, have I?"
"Offended me in what way? Of course not...I'm tired of sitting around in this terry cloth bathrobe and besides, I want to look pretty for when Lumar returns." Cassie gave Schwenk a big smile. Okay, Crys decided. It was time to get back to Argo with this information but she needed to place an electronic tracker on the big tiger and she had an idea how she would do this...Damn insufferable human...she wished that she could kill him on the spot but Argo wouldn't approve.
"I prefer you in that towel...." he chuckled leering as the lioness walked off. Although not as tall as the tiger, she was tall for a female and well-built. "Oh, by the way...for a street cat...you're darn muscular...and well-fed....How??"
Cassie glanced back at Schwenk over her shoulder grinning. "Hmmm so you've noticed my figure--are you interested?" She laughed at the human's expression. "Just because I live on the streets doesn't mean that I can't ensure I'm in great shape...I have to be to fight off unwanted male advances...Also, when have you ever seen a scrawny lioness? I have good genes thanks to my parents. Anymore questions? Oh...do you think Lumar would be uh maybe interested?" She winked.
"Fuck! He'd be interested in a female mouse!!" he snorted. "Put lipstick on me and he'd worry!!"
She laughed. "Ah...well...that tells me a lot. The poor tiger doesn't have much opportunity to be around suitable females...I've got to fix that." The front door opened and in walked the object of topic; he glanced at Schwenk confused when all talk abruptly ceased. "What?" The tiger asked.
"I dare say you'll find out all in good time...What food did you get me?"
Lumar's frown deepened not understanding. "Uh fast food...” he pushed the greasy bags across to Schwenk. "I got you three burgers and French fries. Where's Cassie?"
"Mmmmm...Smells great....she's getting some clothes on, I believe..."
"Oh?" The tiger took a seat opposite. "At least I see you're in better spirits."
"Yeah...." he tucked in. "She apologized to me!"
A slow smile spread across Lumar's face. "I am quite pleased to hear that...You see Schwenk, she's not so bad...very pretty too."
"Strange eyes and built like a thug too....I guess I'm glad she didn't attack me earlier..."
The tiger's whiskers twitched. "She has the most incredible eyes I have ever seen on a female...as for her figure...I'm not complaining." He sighed and looked off into the distance with a dreamy expression on his face.
Schwenk reached out and gave the tiger's nuts a hard squeeze. "Stay focused, lover boy..."
Lumar yelped leaping out of his chair. "Schwenk what did you do that for? I am focused...sheesh!" The tiger limped over to the sink tugging at the crotch of his pants. "Can't a man dream?"
"You're living the fucking dream! You're also got 'that look' on your face too...."
"What look?" The tiger demanded; seeing the boiled water and coffee canister on the counter, he began to fix himself a cup.
"The look whereby your penis makes your decisions...not your pea-sized brain..."
Lumar snorted. "Nothing wrong with lusting...I do have drives that I can't control...Besides what do you care if I do decide to…uh pursue Cassie?"
"Apart from knowing she's not Sh’iar, we know nothing....besides, she's from the street....she is probably.....you know....'dirty'..."
"Do you have a condom then that I can use?" the tiger asked drinking his coffee. "Better safe than sorry--right?"
"You taking the piss??" Schwenk snorted. "Just tie a knot in it!"
Lumar sighed. "Never mind...I was just kidding...I...uh...usually walk with a spare just in case."
He rolled his eyes. "Filthy beast!"
"Hey!" The tiger exclaimed. "Nothing wrong with me walking around with a condom..." he coloured. "At least I learned to use one after being with Teegara."
"I don't want to hear about your dirty habits!"
"I'll spare you the details because I don't want you speaking ill of the dead." He sighed again thinking of the deceased tigress. "You said Cassie was getting dressed? I wonder what's taking her so long."
"Probably removing fleas!" he winked.
Lumar growled; Cassie emerged from the bedroom, "Hi Lumar...you're back!" She ran up to the tiger and embraced him. His jaw nearly hit the floor when he laid eyes on the suggestive outfit she wore. "Hey Schwenk...what are those long pale things you're stuffing your face with?"
"Fries....fried potatoes....Want to sample?"
"No I better not...it doesn't look very appetizing." She turned to Lumar. "Are you hungry? Lumar? Uh Lumar?" Cassie frowned. "Schwenk, what's wrong with him?"
"He has a tiny brain, that's the most obvious thing wrong..." The human rolled his eyes. He grabbed the end of Lumar's tongue and pinched it between fingers. "Get a grip!!"
"AWK!" The tiger gagged; he blinked giving both Schwenk and Cassie a sheepish look. "I'm all right...it's just that...wow--Cassie, I-I like your outfit."
Schwenk looked at the lioness up and down. "Not bad...but, if you ever want a real man instead of a striped clown then knock on my door..." he winked at her.
Cassie giggled, "Why thank you for the compliment Schwenk, but I have a thing for 'striped clowns'“ She wrapped herself around the tiger and planted a suggestive kiss on his lips then went over to the counter to open the tins of cat food.
Schwenk rolled his eyes. "Don't mind me...I'll be sitting over here in the corner!"
Lumar blushed a deep crimson, he took a seat opposite Schwenk but his eyes were focused solely on the lioness. "Wow...." he breathed.
"You're going to have sex tonight, aren't you?" Schwenk commented with a resigned sigh.
With her back to the tiger and human, Crys pretended to be busy preparing the food, but she was listening intently to the conversation...
Lumar slowly turned to Schwenk. "In all honesty, I don't know...I think the decision is up to her...I mean--I would like to...But ultimately it is up to Cassie...I don't want to come on strong."
"No! Your feet do that, brother..." he snorted.
The tiger's ears flickered, Lumar was prepared to respond but he let it go. "Besides Schwenk it would be awkward with you being there even though I put up a sheet as a divider."
Cassie approached the table and placed two big plates down--one in front of the tiger and the other next to him. "What will be awkward?" She asked innocently licking her fingers.
"Him banging you..." Schwenk spared none of Lumar's blushes.
The lioness' eyebrows shot up, "What do you mean by that expression, 'him banging' me? I'm not familiar with that phrase." She took a seat and looked from the human to Lumar who was practically red in the face. "What's wrong with you?" Cassie asked.
"Why Lumar....you've gone awfully red. What's wrong?" he asked serenely, watching the tiger squirm.
The Beni wanted to die on the spot; he lowered his head and kept his mouth clamped shut. Cassie turned to Schwenk. "What's wrong with Lumar?"
"Oh, he's just embarrassed...you see....Lumar is gay..." he whispered conspiratorially.
Cassie gave the tiger a curious look. "Is he really? I had no idea...I was under the impression that he...well I thought he liked women and that he would have wanted to sleep with me. That changes everything...Wait...then you and Lumar are a couple?"
Schwenk's jaw dropped, he was unable to squeeze the words out.
Lumar raised his head, "I'm sorry Cas..."
The lioness shushed the tiger, "You don't have to say anything...I understand...you're gay and I embarrassed you in front of your lover. Schwenk told me..."
"WHAT?!" Lumar exclaimed glaring at the human
Schwenk's eyes widened and he refused to face the tiger, preferring to pretend he wasn't there. "That looks....interesting..." he pointed to Cassie's plate.
The big cat stood and grabbed the lioness' hand. "Cas--I am not gay! I am a healthy heterosexual male tiger and I want to have sex with you."
She glanced up at Lumar. "You don't have to prove anything to me...there is nothing to be ashamed of if you are homosexual..."
The tiger roared, picked up the she-cat, and threw her over his shoulder.
"Oh Gods...how stone-age!" Schwenk groaned. "Well don’t think you'll be doing her in here...not whilst I'm here you won't!"
"You don't have to worry about that!" Lumar shouted turning. "Stay out of the bedroom--you can sleep in the living room for all I care!" He raced out with Cassie.
"Um, I guess I will wish you good night!" she called.
"I wish you good luck!!" he snapped back. "Make sure he finds the right hole too..."
In anger Schwenk picked up the uneaten cat food and slung it across the room where it splattered against the wall. "Shit!" He swore.
