DC: Leave my Cat alone

Chapter 35: Chapter 34: Questioning



Chapter 34: Questioning

"So Mr Morningstar." The Detective said as he sat on the opposite side from me on a table. Tom was right there beside me too, as it was slowly sinking in for him that he might be in trouble.

He was visibly deflated and awfully stressed out about the whole situation right now.

Constantly biting his nails, shaking his legs and even having tears being built up in his eyes.

"It says here that your cat is a stray you found in Central City and adopted, yes?" Detective Lance questioned me as he opened a file.

"That is correct detective."

"And you just so happen to have your cat's particulars and details on you at all times?" He continued.

"What can I say, I like to be thorough."

"Well, so do I." He said with a slight pause as he stared into me before continuing, "Your cat managed to pull out a nerf gun out of nowhere which can shoot bullets that destroys the items around it."

He then played the CCTV video pulled from Verdant and played it to Tom, who nodded, as if not seeing anything wrong.

The footage however for some reason stopped before Tom even stabbed Savage.

"Why is he nodding?"

"Ignore him detective, so what are you charging me with?" I questioned.

"I am just here to ask some questions, but if you are not corporate I can charge you with illegal possession of arms."

I thought about it for a second, before a calm smirk appeared on my face.

"Illegal possession you say…" I then looked at my cat, who was just staring back at me in confusion.

"Search him."

"What?"

"If you can find anything on Tom that is against the law, I will answer every single one of your questions. But if you can't, you will have to let us go."

The Detective looked at me, then at Tom.

"I do not make deals with criminals, the police have rights to search people they believe are breaking the law."

"Yes, people. You seem to forget just because he walks on 2 legs that my cat is in fact a cat." I told the detective, as I started to give Tom some head pats.

"So are you saying you have the right to search animals?"

At this the Detective began to hesitate. He knew most laws regarding humans, but what the hell was a cop like him supposed to know about cats.

"So, if you find a gun on him, I will answer all your questions."

Detective Lance then leaned in slightly and whispered, "Is he one of those Meta-Humans?"

Tom immediately shot up from his seat and slammed the desk with his paws. In outrage he began to swing his arms around.

"Why is he getting worked up?"

"He hates being called human." I replied.

"So what does he want to be called?"

I looked at Tom who conveyed what he was feeling as I nodded to his entire rant.

I don't know when I picked up learning Tom's unique form of sign language, but how I wished I didn't due to the ridiculous things he was saying.

"So?" Detective Lance probed.

"He says he will charge you for animal abuse unless you say this word for word, 'Tom is an Ordinary House Cat.'"

Detective Lance deadpanned at me but I didn't know what he wanted me to do.

I just want to go home.

"Tom." I called out to my cat who was happily strolling down the sidewalk and looking at a recording as we left the police station.

He turned back to me and threw me a questioning look.

"How did you record him when he took your phone?"

He shrugged his shoulders, signifying he didn't know.

Why do I even try at this point?

Tom was able to record the Detective saying what he wanted, and he then let the Detective search him. 

Obviously they didn't find anything. They couldn't even find Tom's pockets let alone the mountain stash of things he keeps.

"Blair isn't picking up." I told Tom as we walked towards her house.

Wait a second…

'Steel, are you still alive?' I questioned, to which I promptly got a response.

'Yes Lucas, I am simply in the middle of almost cracking the code for one of our strongest modes….I need to do it before the cat does.'

'I see.' I responded, and as I thought that, Tom quickly ran towards me with a piece of paper.

"What is this?" I questioned my cat as I took the paper and read its title. "Code for Turbo-Rocket Mode."

'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.'

"So we are just going to leave her be?" I heard a voice coming from inside Blair's house as I entered it.

'These seem to be new human voices.' Steel chipped in.

'Steel at least give me a moment to process my own thoughts.'

'No can do, I have been kept silent for way too long, and I shall be hushed no longer!'

The stupid robot has been blabbering non stop the whole time.

"Tom, can you do something?" I pleaded with him.

Tom nodded, as he placed his paw on my chest and just…pulled Steel out.

"What the hell, how is that possible?" Steel muttered in shock but before he could do anything else, Tom opened the wooden box Buzz was inside.

"Wait, wait, wait." Steel tried to bargain but Buzz inside was really happy.

"Oh nice new roommate."

"No we are not going to just leave her be." A voice which sounded like Serena's came from her house too.

"But why is she like this?"

"She got attacked again, in Verdant. You know how bad these past few years have been. That time she got kidnapped as well." Serena continued.

"Kidnapped?" A new voice chimed in, confused.

"Right Dan you didn't know us back then. Blair and Serena were kidnapped before in Middle-School. Her family had to pay massive ransoms but eventually the kidnappers just left."

"You sure it isn't because they heard how she talked and weren't able to handle her?" The guy named Dan questioned.

"Dan if you aren't going to be helpful then please leave."

"Alright Nate, calm down. I am here to help. Whatever you guys need."

"Well then how about you go and find a guy named Lucas Morningstar, one of my friends from the media said a Detective brought him in for questioning." Serena asked.

"On it." Dan replied as he came out of the house door, to see me at the entrance of the house.

"Hey man, looking for someone?" He questioned as he closed the door, and from the corner of my eye I was able to see Serena and the other guy named Nate talking.

"Yeah, I am the guy you're about to go look for." I replied.

"Your Lucas Morningstar?"

"The one and only."

"And what are you to Blair?" He questioned

"I guess you could say I am her boyfriend."

He paused for a second before he asked in a semi-serious tone, "And why would you want to date that girl and all her issues?"

I paused for a second as I gathered my thoughts before replying.

"I know she can be a little sassy but she is a nice person."

"Oh boy." Dan said as he walked close to me and led me out of the house entrance.

"Where are you taking me?" I questioned.

"I am taking you on a walk, to tell you the story of Blair Waldorf."
