Love or Turmoil? Authors: Felicia McFurry, Ace and Isis Email: Riochet@email.msn.com Jenson was staring at the picture of Felicia that he had on his desk. It had been almost a year since she moved out of her apartment and he still didn't know where she was. For the first couple of days he believed that she was kidnapped but when he found out that she told the land lord that she was going to move out then he knew she couldn't have been kidnapped. The only thing that bothered him was that why didn't she tell me where she was or anything. Victoria's parents told him that Victoria said that her and Felicia had a job now but she didn't tell them where she was working at or who she was working for. Victoria hasn't called her parents or anything yet either which was kind of strange to them also. They constantly called Jenson and asked them if he has heard anything about Felicia's and Victoria's whereabouts but he always had none. Now Jenson had this horrible thought that she was in some kind of trouble and did not tell him so she was killed. But Jenson knew that she would tell him because she practically told him everything. "She has been kind of quiet ever since mom and dad though", stated Jenson out loud to himself. He sighed and placed the picture down. Suddenly there was knock at the door. "Come in", said Jenson. The door opened, of all of the kats in the force it had to be Commander Feral and he looked pretty mad. "Colonel, you know very well that this building isn't a place for your friends to call anytime they want. The phones are for enforcer business only.", said Feral. "There's some she-kat calling for you on line 2 and I suggest that you tell her to call you back at your own place." Feral walked out of the room and slammed the door. "Bite me.", Jenson said under his breath then he picked up the phone and pushed the line 2 button. "This is Colonel Jenson speaking.", he said. "Jenson. This is Felicia", said Felicia. Felicia was waiting for this moment to come. She could have called Jenson a long time ago but she was afraid to tell him. She wasn't going to tell him now either but she just wanted for him to know that she was okay. "Felicia?!", said Jenson. He couldn't believe it. "Are you okay? Where are you?" "I'm fine. Listen, Jenson I can't talk long. But I just wanted to tell you that I have a job now and that I am fine." "Where are you working at?", asked Jenson Felicia wished she could tell him but she knew that she couldn't let her brother know about her working with Turmoil because he would come get her. "I have to go now, Jenson.", she quickly said. Jenson knew that there had to be something wrong. "Okay, just tell me where are you so I can know that you're safe.", said Jenson as he gripped the receiver the tighter. "I have to hang up, Jenson", said Felicia wishing now that she never called him. Jenson knew that she wasn't going to tell right off where she was and if she was in trouble or not. So he decided to let her know about what he thought. "You're in trouble aren't Felicia?", said Jenson. There was silence coming from the other end of the line. Felicia knew that he was right and that she was in trouble but no matter what she wasn't going to tell him. "Bye, Jenson", she said and then hung up. She kept her hand on the receiver then let go. She started to cry. "You don't how much trouble I am in.", said Felicia. "Felicia? Felicia are you there? Felicia?!", said Jenson but he knew that the other end was disconnected so he slammed the phone's receiver down in frustration. "Why won't you tell me, Felicia?", said Jenson. He knew that he was angry and sitting here in the office wasn't going to help him calm down either. "I am going to find you, sis.", he said as he left the office and walked to the hangar. ******************************************************************** Felicia was laying down on her bed still crying when there was a knock on the door. Felicia quickly got a tissue to wipe the tears away and then said, "Come in." It was Turmoil. "Hello, Felicia", she said. Turmoil was wearing the same uniform that she did when she battled the SWAT Kats for the first time. She wore practically all of the time. Turmoil saw that Felicia had been crying and was wondering why she was. "What's the matter?, she asked. "Nothing.", Felicia quickly said. She didn't want Turmoil that she had been talking to her brother and the fact that he was an enforcer. "Cadet.", Turmoil said. "You can tell me, besides I might be able to help. Now what's the problem?" Felicia knew that she had to tell Turmoil something to keep her from bugging her about it. "Well", Felicia started. "I am still pretty upset about my parents' deaths and all." This wasn't exactly the reason why Felicia was crying but it was part of it. Turmoil put her arm around Felicia. "I know that first couple of years will be tough but Felicia, you'll be alright.", said Turmoil as she smiled. "I am your friend, you can always count on me to take care of you." Felicia smiled. "Thanks.", she said. She was beginning to doubt about what her brother told her. "Well, I have a surprise that will cheer you up.", said Turmoil. "Well, you have worked for me for a year now. But you have the same qualifications as my lieutenant. It's unfair for you to be a lower rank than she is but it's also unfair to her for you to take your position since she has been working for me longer than you have. So the best thing to do is to have two lieutenants. Felicia, you are being promoted to lieutenant." Felicia couldn't believe it! She was speechless. "I don't know what to say, Turmoil. I can't believe it! Thank you! Thank you so much!", said Felicia. Turmoil smiled and got up. "Well, I'll let you rest, Felicia. Excuse me, Lieutenant McFurry.", she said. She walked towards the door but she turned around. "Lieutenant, I see you where that necklace all the time. Do you wear it for some sentimental reason?", she asked. Felicia held the locket part. "Actually I do. It was present that I received from a very special friend when my parents died.", she said hoping that Turmoil would leave at that and not ask who gave it to her. Turmoil nodded and then left which made Felicia happy. Felicia laid back down and closed her eyes. She fell asleep knowing that she would dream the same dream. ********************************************************************** Jake was disgusted after watching the news. This was actually the first time that he was glad the news was over. He always enjoyed watching the news, laughing at the remarks that Feral made about the SWAT Kats or even when Dark Kat or some other villain was attacking the city. But for the past year the news was very depressing. The young she-kat whose parents he tried to save was missing along with her friend. He remembered that her name was Felicia. Her brother was an enforcer but he didn't hear anything from her until tonight. Ann Gora reported that he received a phone call from her today all she told him that she was alright but she wouldn't tell him where she was. He said he continued to ask her for her whereabouts but she ended up hanging up on him. Chance was downstairs working out when Jake came into the room. "Anything on Felicia?", asked Chance as he got up from doing 100 sit-ups. Chance knew that Felicia's disappearance was hitting Jake pretty hard. The only reason why that Chance could figure was that Jake felt responsible since he was unable to save her parents. Jake shook his head sadly. "Well, actually they said that she called her brother at Enforcer Headquarters but wouldn't tell him where she was", said Jake as he walked over to the treadmill. Chance walked over to the ladder to go upstairs and get him a glass of milk. "Want some milk, buddy?", he asked. Jake shook his head and then got up onto the treadmill. "Don't worry, Jake. The enforcers will find her.", said Chance and then smiled. "If you want to Jake, we could go out tonight and search for her." "Okay. That might get some of this stress off my mind.", said Jake. ********************************************************************** Jenson had been searching for Felicia for almost 5 hours and still nothing. It had went to Enforcer Headquarters to refuel almost twice. Even though the Pursuer had a high tech radar it still was unable to find any trace of Felicia's whereabouts. He was getting tired and knew he needed to rest, it was about 11:00 at night. "One more hour.", said Jenson as he struggled to stay awake. "I'm going to find her." He banked right and started to fly towards the outskirts of Megakat City." ********************************************************************** The SWAT Kats were also looking for Felicia but couldn't find her either. "Anything, Razor?", asked T-Bone. He knew that this was hopeless because it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but he wasn't going to tell that to Razor. Razor was already depressed about this and T-Bone wasn't about to make him worse. Razor was constantly staring at the radar screen. "Nothing.", Razor said. He was very frustrated at this and by the fact that they had been searching for almost 3 hours. But he wasn't about to quit looking. He had this horrible thought that she could have went after Dark Kat and got into trouble or was kidnapped. There were a lot of horrible thoughts about her whereabouts but Razor kept telling himself that they were wrong. "We're bingo fuel, buddy.", said T-Bone. "No.", Razor said to himself but he knew that they couldn't risk losing the Turbokat. "Let's head back. It's hopeless." T-Bone shook his head at Razor's last comment. This was the first time that Razor had been pessimistic about something and it scared him. He turned around and started to fly towards the hangar. ********************************************************************** Jenson had suddenly caught something on radar. It was the Turbokat. He wondered if they knew anything about Felicia's whereabouts. Jenson knew that it was strictly against to get help from the SWAT Kats but this was his sister. He turned on his radio and said, "SWAT Kats come in." T-Bone and Razor heard Jenson calling in as they saw his Pursuer coming in range. "This is T-Bone", said T-Bone. "This is Colonel Jenson McFurry. I was wondering if you two know anything about the whereabouts of my sister?", asked Jenson. "Negative. We were out to help look for her.", said Razor. "Why would you vigilantes want to look for Felicia?", asked Jenson. "We want to help too you know. We have a right to.", said Razor Suddenly Jenson remembered the SWAT Kats trying to help his parents. But his anger about their deaths and his sister's disappearance was starting to get to him or either that Feral was rubbing off on him. "Look. I don't want you in my way. You made me lose my parents and I am not about to let you make me lose Felicia.", growled Jenson. T-Bone was angry at Jenson's remark. He was about to yell back when he heard Razor yelling at Jenson. "Listen, you. I tried my best to save them while you did nothing. So don't blame me for their deaths. I saved your sister from trying to risk her life for them. If it wasn't for me she wouldn't be alive right now.", Razor yelled back. He had never been this angry before and T-Bone knew that for a fact. Usually it was T-Bone that needed to calm down but Razor was furious. "Calm down, buddy", said T-Bone. Razor moaned. "I just want to go home, T-Bone.", he said as he laid back into his seat. His head hurt and he was tired. "Roger that", said T-Bone as he flew by Jenson. Jenson was speechless from Razor's comment. ************************************************************************ Felicia woke up the next morning very tired. It was 8:00 and she needed to meet Turmoil in her room at 8:30. Felicia quickly put on the new lieutenant's uniform that she received last night. It was light purple with a light purple army like hat that had Turmoil's symbol colored in red. She walked out of her room towards Turmoil's quarters. Turmoil's room was much bigger. She had a king size bed that had red sheets. She had a radio that was playing easy listening music. Even though Turmoil was supposed to be bad, her room seemed so peaceful which made Felicia wish that she could have the same room. Turmoil was brushing her hair when Felicia arrived. It was only 8:20 and Turmoil was impressed on Felicia arriving early. "Looks like you're ready before I am.", said Turmoil. "Such devotion." "Thank you, Turmoil", said Felicia. "Hmm. That uniform looks good on you. How does it feel to be a lieutenant?", asked Turmoil as she put on her hat. "It's a honor to be your lieutenant.", said Felicia. "Such good answers.", said Turmoil as she stood up. "The reason why I wanted to come here is for a mission. We are going to land the airship near the abandoned industrial site and we need for you to patrol the area and make sure that no one is snooping around.", said Turmoil. "Yes, mam.", said Felicia. "I am going to be very busy with working on my new project and would hate to be caught off guard.", said Turmoil. Felicia saluted and walked out of the room. *********************************************************************** At the salvage yard, Jake was changing into his flight suit. Chance had gone out that morning to fly around in the Turbokat. He told Jake that he was going to fly the canyon run and should be back in 2 hours. Jake decided that it would be the perfect time to look for Felicia again. He could use the cyclotron and check things on the ground. Jake knew that Chance wouldn't allow him to go on his own if he was there but Chance wasn't. Jake wrote a note to Chance just in case he returned home early. Jake tied on his mask and put on his helmet. He started up the cyclotron and drove towards the city. ********************************************************************** Razor had searched for almost a hour and still no sign of Felicia. "She has to be somewhere.", said Razor to himself. Suddenly a big blip appear on the radar screen on the cyclotron. "Huh? What is that?", Razor said. "I better go check it out, it might just be the Fear Ship." He drove towards the location where the big blip was. Razor stopped at where the big blip was, it noticed that it was somewhere inside the abandoned industrial site. "I thought this place was abandoned.", he said to himself as he got off the cyclotron and put on his glovatrix. He started to look around. Razor was getting deeper among the warehouses but still no sign of what ever he was looking for until he went behind one of the warehouses. "Holykats!", Razor said. "It's Turmoil's airship!", he said as he started to approach the airship with caution. ************************************************************************ Felicia was patrolling the area but when she reached the other side of the airship she saw someone she wished wasn't there. "Oh, no! Not him, not now.", she said to herself when she spotted Razor. Razor was looking around, fortunately his back was turned towards her. "I can't capture him but I have to if I want to please Turmoil", she said. She aimed her gun at him and started to approach him. ************************************************************************ Razor knew that he couldn't enter the airship without back up which meant for him to contact T-Bone first. Razor knew when to do things on his own and when not to. He was about to turn around and head back to the cyclotron when suddenly he heard a gun cock behind him. Razor's eyes grew wide and he held his hands up. He turned around and saw one of Turmoil's guards pointing a gun at him. "Don't move", said the guard which was Felicia. Razor couldn't believe who it was when he recognized the voice. His eyes grew wider and he said, "Felicia?!" He finally found her but he wished this wasn't the place. He couldn't believe it! "She joined forces with Turmoil!", he said to himself. "Consider yourself a prisoner of Turmoil", said Felicia. To be continued...... By: Felicia McFurry, Ace, and Isis
