Cross of Swords Part 6 Richie's Apartment: November 1995 During the next few weeks, things had taken a turn for the worse. Duncan's friend Charlie had been killed by an Immortal named Andrew Cord who happened to be an old army buddy of Joe's. This is what had apparently caused the tension between Duncan and Joe. Joe had been torn between his loyalty not to interfere, and helping Duncan and Andrew work out a problem with Charlie. His loyalty caused Cord to kill Charlie, Duncan to take his head, and in grief, loose Duncan as a friend. Richie had come back from his trip, and never stayed home. He had given Cat permission to stay alone at his place until Duncan cooled down, but there were a few rules she had to follow. Mainly letting someone know where she would be and when she would be back. Chris had apparently dropped off the face of the earth, because no one had heard from her since she had left. This worried Cat, but Duncan told her she usually retreated to Holy Ground in Mexico when she had a problem. And she would be back soon, there was no need to worry. But Cat did worry. She couldn't help it, it was part of her nature. She had no one to talk to, and it drove her crazy. She had finally met Amanda who had popped back into Duncan's life and now she knew why she annoyed Richie and Joe. She was to perky, to bubbly, to slutty. Compared to Amanda, Cat looked like a virgin. To escape from craziness, one night Cat went to a party. She had been drinking heavily, and she got the buzz. She turned around to look across the room, when she saw a young guy about her age walking towards her. "Not too many of us around her tonight is there." "Usually isn't." She said with a smug tone. "I'm Kenny. What's your name?" "Caitlynnn, but my friends call me Cat." She said as she grinned. Kenny wasn't that bad looking. He was a few inches taller than she was, had dirty blonde long blonde hair that stuck out everywhere, and deep blue eyes. He also had an irresistible childlike sheepish grin. The two talked most of the evening and before she knew it, they had gone back to Richie's apartment. She was breaking another one of Richie's rules, but she was so drunk and stoned, she could care less. Kenny was going to be her first Immortal lover. She kissed Kenny on the lips, and he gave no resistance. He placed his hand under her shirt and started to feel her breasts. She sighed in ecstasy. He played with her nipples until they were peaks, and then slipped her shirt over her head and unfastened her bra. They made their way to the couch where she laid down. He started to suck her nipples, and used one hand to play with the other. With his free hand, he moved it slowly down her body and up her skirt. When he knew she was ready, he unzipped his jeans and plunged deep inside her. When Cat woke up the next morning, she was alone. She thought it might have been a dream until she noticed her sword was gone. She kept wondering if Kenny would've been mean enough to take her sword, or did she forget it at the party? She was about to call Duncan when she found a note. 'There Can Be Only One my young one! You should watch your pretty little head, especially now that you have no weapon. If you want it back, I'll be in touch.- Kenny' "Bastard!" she screamed. How could he do that to her? 'Love em and leave em' she thought. Amanda's words echoed through her mind. She called Duncan, but got his machine. "Duncan, it's Cat. I need to talk to you. Please call, it's a matter of life and death." Cross of Swords Part 7 The Loft above the dojo: November 1995 Duncan refused to go near Joe's place, so Cat went to the dojo. When she got there, she found Duncan returning from teaching at the University and Amanda trying to cook. Duncan handed her a cup of tea and they sat down on the couch. "Where is your sword?" Duncan asked. He use to always had to remind her about it, but lately, she had been pretty good about remembering to carry it with her. "That's what I needed to talk to you about. It was stolen." "Duncan looked at her. "This is a problem." He said as he sighed in disbelief. "Do you know by who?" Cat nodded and handed him the note from Kenny. "When did this happen? When did you see Kenny?" "Kenny!" Amanda said startled. "When in the hell did you see him?" "Last night. Why? What do you know that I need to?" Duncan and Amanda started to explain their recent episode with Kenny who was another one of Amanda's students, and how he was known to trap Immortals for their heads. "I'm surprised that little piece of shit had the balls to stick around after trying to take our heads." Duncan said as he went to look out the window. "I should've taken that son-of-a-bitches head when I had the chance." Amanda said slamming her fists on the table. "How could I have been to naive and trust him. How?" "It wasn't your fault Amanda." Cat said trying to comfort her. She began to see against popular belief, Amanda could be sensitive. "I want to deal with this, I just don't know how." "We just have to sit back and wait. Do you still have that other sword I gave you?" Cat nodded. When Cat came to America, Duncan had given her one of his swords to use as a backup in case something like this were to happen. "Can't we talk to Joe? Can't we ask him to help us?" Cat begged. She hated to see Duncan loose one of his dearest friends. "No, and don't bring it up again. If you want my help, then leave Joe out of this!" Joe's Place: The next day The next day, Cat went to Joe's. Amanda knew and promised not to tell Duncan, but the plan was to have Joe locate Chris and then Chris would take it from there. She walked into the bar and got the buzz. She started to run, but she couldn't. She felt like her feet had been nailed to the floor. She began to panic. "Joe!?" she yelled trying to walk towards his office. "Joe where are you?" "He's not here." Came a voice from the back. Suddenly a good looking guy walked out of Joe's office. "Is there something I can help you with?" Cat started to back away. "Who are you? Where's Joe?" she was almost out the door when he started to answer. "Joe's running some errands. He'll be back in a hour or two. I'm Adam. Adam Pierson." He said as he extended his right hand. Cat saw the tattoo and began to relax. That name sounded familiar, and she tried to think where she had heard it before. "Methos! Thank God. I'm Cat." "Oh yes, the juvenile delinquent Richie is taking care of." He said with a smile on his face. "You're hear for info on Cat right?" "How did you know?" "Duncan called me last night and asked me for help. That's why I'm here, I'm searching the Watcher file's for clues." "Do you know where we could find her?" "If I know Christine, I think so. I've sent word to a Watcher in the area where she may be, and I'm waiting to hear from her now. Can I get you something while we wait?" "Any chance I could get a beer?" Methos shook his head. "Didn't think so. Coke's fine." Methos got her a coke and they talked while they waited. They talked about their lives, how he became a Watcher, how he and Chris met, and about Joe and Duncan's fight. "Do you think they'll patch things up?" "They need time to cool down. Joe broke a serious rule, and it cost him more than his friends. It cost him the respect of himself, which should happen to no one." Just then his cellular phone rang. He answered it before the first ring ended. "Adam here... yes... uh huh... and no one has seen her?... Damn!... no, no, keep trying and keep me posted." He said as he flipped the mouthpiece up. "No one has seen her in a few days." "So now what do we do?" Cat asked. "We wait." He responded. "All we can do is wait." To be continued... Copyright 1996: Jen Thrailkill {CatsImmie@aol.com}
