My vision slowly returned and I saw that I was resting in the back of a cop car. Everything still felt woosy but my body was able to move again. It was still late into the night from what I could see out the window, but from the fast passing trees seemed to be nowhere near where I think I was.
Attempting to get up resulted in a slow numbing sensation, followed by my danger senses going haywire as I remembered that I am in a cop car and possibly being sent to a damn mage guild. Even though things were still blurry, I tried to make due of who was in the car with me. To who was driving the car was surprising to me is that it was Kitsuno.
The car sped up as we swerved and I went flying off the seat and onto the floor. "Shit, take it easy with those turns Kit. Shade just fell over." Kitsuno was more focused on driving as she weaved around other cars on the road. Melissa shook her head a bit before looking down at me. "Hey Kit, I think she's coming to!"
"That's nice Mel, but I'm trying to get us out of here!" Groggily making my way up the seats, I slumped forward between their seats. "Girls... the fuck happened back there?" Melissa places a hand on my head and pats me gently. "You got tranqued by a few darts. Thankfully most of then were distracted hunting you down in the alley where it gave us enough time and force to snag a ride from one of those bastards."
I leaned more onto Melissa as Kitsuno kept on driving. "Right now we are evading the rest of the police and managed to give them the slip. No doubt they are going to have the borders hit up with some reinforcements though." Things kept on being silent for most of the ride before Kitsuno swerves again and we end up diverting into a different road before heading deep into a forest path. "Kitsuno, what are we doing?"
"What you said is correct Melissa. They will have the borders closed off. But if we don't show up, that forces them to come look for us. Which is exactly what we need to do." She then slows the car down and starts driving off of the road and into the trees. "Hold onto something." I slumped back down on the floor as the car rocked back and forth a lot several times before stopping. After that Kitsuno takes off her seatbelt and opens the door. "Come on, we'll leave this here and hide somewhere else."
Melissa does the same thing and then I saw the door behind me open up and Kitsuno reaches in to grab me by my waist to hoist me up. Once I was out of the car, I attempted standing up for a bit before getting really dizzy and kneeling forward. "Buh... I think I'm gonna be sick." Kit then wraps my left arm over her shoulder. "Try not to throw up on me sis." Melissa grabbed my other arm and lifted my right side up. I looked over her to see where was the blanket at. "What happened to our clothes?"
"Threw them in the nearest dumpster. You were more important. Besides, we can always steal more clothes." This is bringing back memories of my younger days with Kitsuno. Back when we had literally nothing to our names. Now we are basically back to that.
I swear, one of these days I am going to get enough power and destroy those mage guilds for this. Those bastards want me that badly, just they wait. I'll give them what they want, and they won't like it.
One month later
The place we originally wanted to stay at became a more risk factor of getting caught. Probably for the best cause from what we heard, a gunfight broke out between two tenants. Probably something we don't want to get involved with at all.
Thankfully for us we found a new place to live. The building was a little nicer than what Kitsuno and Melissa found and we were closer to a plaza that had a few bars and shops. Melissa managed to snag a position at one of the bars and is a waitress there. So long as she doesn't come back drunk, that's fine.
Kitsuno just got a position at nearby grocery store, so with that we get a small discount on anything we buy there so long as she is with us. It's not a huge store but it has the basic supplies we need for a lot of the stuff we could cook and clean. Definitely a plus since we had to start over again.
We did have to go steal some clothes though. At least a few pairs from a donation bin. Just enough for us to get by for a two weeks of pay and then we ditched them to get actual clothes from a thrift shop.
Me on the other hand, I have been laying low at the apartment. I was still at large at the moment from the escape but it has died down a bit since then. This gave me opportunity to figure out our neighbors and such and study on the locations of the city with the maps they had sitting around in the lobby.
I'm gonna have to give it about another month or two before things fully died down enough for me to wander outside during the day without having to worry about a cop seeing me. And this is just me saying this because a lot of stuff is still going on. What with the incident with me, but there was also an explosion at an industrial park that got investigated. This was near where we last worked.
From what news we gathered about that is not surprising at all. Someone was smoking and threw their butt over into a pit. Well in said pit was a puddle of oil from something that was leaking and it flared up to one of the heavy forklifts. Thankfully for them, the person who was manning said forklift had just left to get lunch. Unfortunately for all of them, said forklift fell over and crashed into the building near some important machinery. Ten people were injured and two were hospitalized.
Between this and several armed robberies built up in the area, the police were forced to withdraw on the search for me. Which is for the best on both terms. Cause they get to do an actual job instead of hunting down one woman.
My ears perked up as I heard the door open. I get up from the desk I was sitting at to help Kitsuno and Melissa with some supplies they have brought with them. "So, how is it out there?" Kitsuno places down several bags onto the counter and Melissa closes the door with her foot as she places down a case of water and ale. I look at her because of the ale. "Melissa, why did you bring a twelve pack?"
My mousey friend rubs her hands a bit before stretching her back. "My boss was gonna throw it out. Said it was past due on its date, which to me sounds weird for ale. So I took it before finishing my shift." Kitsuno shakes her head as she starts pulling out food from the bags and begins putting them away in the cabinets. "Melissa, you're gonna get sick one of these days. You sure that is drinkable?"
"Gonna find out right now." She grabs a bottle and cracks it open with a bottle opener that was sticking on the fridge. She took a sip of it and pauses a bit before putting the bottle down on the counter. "The hell. What kind of ale is this?" I grabbed the bottle and gave it a sniff. The smell was a bit appalling as it smelled heavy of citrus and fermentation. "Must be strong on the hops or something. Cause that smells weird."
Kitsuno shakes her head before fishing through one of the bags. "Well, while you two keep on with the ale. Maybe we can talk about something else important." She then pulls out her phone and opens it out to pull up a news article. "I overheard some people when I was stocking the shelves and there is some more news about what happened last month.
I grab her phone to start looking over the article. Much to a point, the case is still open right now and many things about it are true. Scrolling down a bit led to the police finding the stolen cop car after we abandoned it in the middle of a forest. Part of me thinks we should have scuttled it or set it on fire... but given that it was a forest, probably not.
I kept on browsing through the page until I caught a glimpse of something that made me do a double take. "Oh son of a bitch. Are they really calling it that?" Kitsuno nods as I went over a list that said, victims. On said list read a good handful of names thay have been infused with my magic in any shape or form. Mainly whoever I had sex with with my dick.
Look, sexual favors pay off sometimes. And when you have no job after trying for so long, sometimes you have to make sacrifices.
Several names I knew we lived near in that apartment complex. The second to last one was that bunny girl prostitute, says that she is condemned until DNA test results come back to her. Though, the same was said for a few others. Candice included despite her being arrested for illegal tresspassing. What for? I'm not fully sure, but I can take wild guesses it involves whatever she and Lincoln were doing at some other place.
Then my eyes stopped on a missing case. The receptionist, who went by the name Janet Bellevue, was reported missing the day after the attempt to apprehend me. The thirty year old cat girl dissappeared without much of a trace or warning. Possible speculations of why she fled is she had the most recent contact with the perpetrator sexually and had more exposure to her magic. Despite being the one to admit of the kitsune being harbored in the same building she owned.
I paused for a minute there. "Wait. So that woman was the owner? I thought she was just a random slut put in charge of the front desk while the actual owner had other stuff to take care of." Kitsuno shrugs before cracking open a bottle of water. "Beats me to be honest. Owner or not, it's not like she did much besides have sex and blackmail us."
"Fair point." With Janet's disappearance, the complex will undergo new management with an appointed contractor until further notice. Any documentations that were recovered involving Janet were illegible due to discoloration after being found in a nearby storm drain. Should anyone find this woman, they are to report her whereabouts to the authorities immediately.
The rest of the article continues on with the case before it ends with the usual section involving checking out the banking industries or whatever else is going on. Handing my sister her phone back, I lean over the counter. "So with her missing now, how much of a problem is that for us?"
Kitsuno shrugs before walking over towards the couch in the middle of the livingroom and sat down. "If anything sis, she's got a problem with us since she sold us out. Her ass is gonna be red when I'm done with her."
I laugh a bit before taking the ale and gave it a sip, only to immediately regret it and rush to the kitchen sink to spit it out. "God... that is appalling." Melissa laughs before heading into the bathroom to get showered. "I'll see if I can find you something sweetie. Definitely not that." We all shared a laugh as we enjoyed the day as it was needed.
Meanwhile Somewhere Else
Janet was sitting in the bathroom as her phone was dialing up a connection. After a few moments the ringing stops, "Hello?" She fidgets a bit where she was sitting. "Hey Stacy, it's Janet. I'm sure you are aware that--"
"That you failed in getting Shade captured. Yes yes, I know dearie. Sylvester already told me about your little mishap. It's fine though. We'll get her eventually. One of these days she'll slip up and we can get her cornered."
Janet continues to fidget a bit. "So what do you need me to do now?" Her eyes close a bit as she rubs her chest a bit. Stacy on the other end, "You are to lay low for a bit Janet before returning to the guild. Though, may I ask. Something seems off with you. Are you under the weather?"
She flinches a bit before responding. "You can say that..." Janet looks down at the floor as she mulls over her words. "Uh... Stacy. I may have fucked up more.
Silence filled the air and the phone before Stacy broke it. "Go on Janet, what's wrong?" Janet just stares at what was on the floor, which was a positive pregnancy test. "I might have gotten overzealous and got pregnant."
The silence grew thicker before Stacy once again breaks it. "So, had a little extra fun with Shade now did we? You do realize you are not getting a bonus for this right?" She panics a bit as she recognized the tone Stacy had. "Look, I'm sorry! I didn't realize how close I was to ovulating!"
"Just get back to the guild in one piece. We will discuss matters fully then." The phonecall then ends and Janet placed her phone down while clutching her chest. "She is so mad..."
Stacy had a paw on her face as she sat on her desk. "Leave it to my cousin to have the ancient kitsune knock her up. This is gonna get chaotic." A ghostly cat figure floats around her, "How many do you think she has?" Stacy sighs before getting up and leaping off her desk to walk out of the room. "Hard to say. We'll find out when she gets bigger. In the meantime, let's just get the nursery prepared. It's not full blood, but it'll have to do for now." The ghastly cat floats around the desk a bit more before following after Stacy.
