Cat and Mouse: The Baby
By Bluto
News item on Telemundo (translated from the Spanish).
"Hola, this is Jaun Pegar Fantasia with news from South America:
Scattered reports are coming in now of a disaster on the Pacific Coast
of Peru. The small town of Puerto Diego has been destroyed with an
uncertain loss of life. Helicopter video shows the utter destruction
visited on the village from what one survivor called, and I'm not
making this up, folks, 'a giant, the biggest man I have ever seen.'
"According to one eyewitness, the 'giant' entered a local bar and
ordered a Shirley Temple, an alcohol-free drink preferred by white,
Anglo-Saxon females. The bartender and several patrons made the unwise
decision to poke fun at the 'giant' for his choice of drink and he went
ballistic, wrecking the bar and destroying everything in his path.
Local law enforcement officials were helpless, even though they were
equipped with automatic weapons and hand grenades."
Voice of Nolberto Solano, another eyewitness:
"It was crazy! They were firing away at this big dude and I know
they hit him but it was like they were shooting blanks. He must have
been eight feet tall and I swear he didn't have a nose."
"After wrecking the town the 'giant' was last seen running for
the Pacific Ocean in advance of several national guard units that had
been dispatched because of the disturbance. No boats were seen leaving
the dock but the 'giant' still apparently escaped, as no one has seen
him since. There have been no other reported sightings of this 'giant'
in the region."
WEEK TWO -
Gaby Doltry could not believe her eyes.
The Cat, Katherine Filin, her fellow Protector, was contentedly
nursing a little baby, whom she had just been informed was another
Protector, The Mouse aka Mick Montana.
"Nicky, why do you think this is the Mouse? How did this happen?
Just what the hell is going on?"
"Mick called me as soon as you three got back from the
Philippines," said Nicky Greao, Montana's oldest friend. "He was
excited about the success of your mission and said the Philippine
Government gave each of you a gold medal and said for me to come over
the next day to see his medal after he and Katherine took care of some
personal business. I, ah, kinda had an idea what that personal business
might be, so I made sure to call before coming over the next day. I got
no answer all day, so I waited one more day. Still no answer. I called
early the third day and when I still got no answer I decided to come
over here and see for myself what was going on."
Nicky paused for a moment and glanced at Cat, who continued to
sit and nurse, smiling like she had not a care in the world.
"The door was unlocked so I walked right in and there sat
Katherine, just as you see her now. 'Where's Mick and where'd that baby
come from?' I asked. She gave me that goofy grin and said 'Mickey and I
had sex, wonderful sex, and this is Mickey's baby.'"
"Oh God, Mick was worried that he was spending too much time
pretending to be a girl, too much time playing Mouse, worried that he
was losing his male identity. I actually encouraged him to have sex
with Katherine to prove to himself that he was a real man. I didn't
know it would do this to him!"
"But what proof do you have that that's Mouse?" the Medium said.
"You just told me that Cat said it was Mick's baby. Couldn't that be
the case?"
"As far as I know they only had sex that one time and that was
less than two weeks ago. I don't know what her problem is but Katherine
has been spaced out all week. Sometimes she says the baby is Mick,
sometimes that it's Mick's baby. But Mick is nowhere to be found. None
of his stuff is missing and there is no way he'd leave town and abandon
his own baby if he knew he had one. I even called Mick's folks and they
haven't heard from him in weeks. Besides, Katherine is magic, isn't
she? Doesn't she turn into a demon and eat people?"
As Gaby pondered how Nicky got wind of that bit of information
there was a knock on the door. Without waiting for an answer the
visitor came in. It was a tall, burly person wearing a tasteful flower
print dress and sensible shoes. The person was carrying four heavy
plastic bags full of diapers, baby powder and other infant care items,
as well as several dozen cans of cat food and some fruit.
"Jeez, if I knew there wuz someone here besides Katherine I would
have had yous come down and help me," the person said, as the bags were
dumped in the middle of the living room floor. "Oh, sorry miss, my name
is Tony Bass and I am so happy to make your acquaintance."
Gaby stood open-mouthed as she shook hands with the ex-mobster.
While the voice was still undeniably that of a man, everything else
advertised extreme gender confusion. Tony's face was smooth and hair-
free and very tastefully made up. His hair was down to his shoulders,
thanks to extensions, and permed very smartly. His arms were still
fairly thick, but he was starting to show a real contrast between his
chest and waist measurements. He wore no padding, but was already
supporting a C-cup bra and developing a very pleasing ass. Under the
flowing dress he wore some cute red panties and, since he still lacked
the money to buy an artificial penis, there was no chance of any nasty
bulges ruining the smooth effect.
"Thank you so much for the diapers, Tony dear," Cat said, from
her chair. "I swear, my little Micki seems to get bigger by the hour.
The diapers you brought us yesterday barely fit at all now and she's a
darling little crap machine."
Tony grunted in Cat's general direction and then set about taking
all the items he'd brought and putting them in their proper places. The
baby had finally eaten its fill and, after putting away her still
swollen breast, Cat put it on her shoulder and delicately patted its
back until it gave a loud burp. She then took one of the new diapers
and deftly changed the baby on the living room couch. Gaby could see
that there was no doubt about this being a female baby.
"Jesus, Nicky," she said. "I'm going into transgender overload!
What makes you so sure this baby girl used to be a man? And how'd you
know about Cat?"
"See Tony there? He used to be all man too, until he had sex with
Katherine. She bit his dick off and then a little later he had to have
his balls cut off too because of cancer, cancer he didn't have a trace
of until he fucked her. You see, Tony is a member of the Gamboli family
and so am I."
Gaby gasped once more.
"Yeah, Mick and Katherine never told me she was the monster who
rubbed out so many of my family members. And Tony never told me exactly
how he lost his dick. Ms. Medium, I might not be a detective or a
psychic, but I ain't dumb. I'd pretty much figured out who Katherine
really was a long time ago. I mean, come on, she's got a tail for the
love a God, but I never told Mick I knew because I figured he'd tell me
when he thought the time was right. He probably was afraid I'd hate
Katherine because of what she did to my relatives, but, hey, they were
all goombas; they knew what could happen to them in that business. But
what I didn't realize was that having sex with Katherine does strange
things to a man."
Nicky opened a drawer in a small end table and fished out a copy
of an article from "The New York Times." He handed it to Gaby and
continued speaking.
"I got this from a customer at my boutique a few weeks ago.
Because of the business I'm in I often get clips and articles about
gender change issues and I usually keep them on file. According to
this article, every man who had sex with the "porn star" wound up with
extreme sexual dysfunction, but I didn't put two and two together until
after Mick and Katherine did it. I showed it to Tony and he confessed
that it was indeed talking about something that happened while the
family was trying to kill Katherine for murdering family members."
"I been tryin' to tell Nicky about the cat woman for a long
time," Tony said, as he busied himself in the kitchen, making some
treats for everyone. "But something always seemed to interfere before I
could get the words out."
He brought a tray of cookies and tasty appetizers and set it on
the living room table. For Cat he had made Ritz Crackers topped with
cat food and an olive. She consumed all of them with great relish.
"Mmmm, these are good, Tony dear," she said, while licking her
lips. "I'm sorry I ate your dick, hon, really I am. But I hadn't had a
bite in a long time and it was right there in my mouth."
Tony picked up the baby from Cat and gleefully tossed it in the
air. The baby squealed and laughed and hugged Aunt Tony, who didn't
seem the least bit disturbed by what Cat had just said.
"Oh hell, easy come, easy go. I had a lota fun wit' little Tony
over the years, but when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Besides, the way
Nicky figures it, if I hadn't been stuck in the hospital back then, I'd
have probably been killed with everyone else at Uncle Salvatore's house
when you visited there."
Gaby felt like she had inadvertently walked into a roadshow
production of "Alice In Wonderland," when she suddenly remembered the
main reason for her visit.
"Cat, Nightman told me if you and Mouse don't show up for the
meeting tomorrow he's going to have the both of you kicked out of The
Protectors. He's really sore that you two missed the fight we had last
week with The Destroyers when they robbed Madison Square Garden."
"Sorry Hon, but I can't leave my little Micki for anything. Part
of my animal instincts, I guess."
"Look, we'll help you take care of Mickey. I'm sure he wouldn't
want to get thrown out of The Protectors when it wasn't his fault. He
always told me being a Protector was, like, his fondest dream and junk.
And don't forget, if they kick you out, there goes your stipend."
"Wellll."
"And think how happy Robichaux will be if you're booted out."
"That does it! We'll be there!"
***
The regular Protectors meeting was well-attended this week. In
addition to trying out potential new members for the first time in
months, it was rumored a couple of current members were in danger of
being kicked out on their tails. Several members were still hurting
from their last encounter with The Destroyers, especially The Arrow,
who was in a full body cast as a result of trying to take on the
Weapons Master, the Blue Ninja and EXO2 by himself. They beat him to
within an inch of his life and it would be a long time before he was
ready for action again.
"They sneaked up on me, damn it, otherwise ah'd have taken them
easy," he said, as they hauled him to his place on the dais. "If that
dam' Cat and Mouse had been dare, we could 'a won."
The Medium was afraid that was the general sentiment and knew it
would be a difficult job keeping Cat and Mouse in the group. The
problem, of course, was figuring out how much the Protectors, and the
general public, needed to know about the true situation. She had
persuaded Cat to come and speak for Mouse and herself, but it wasn't
easy. Because her breasts were so swollen with milk, Cat couldn't put
on her skin-tight costume. So she wore just her mask, a black T-shirt
and some yellow Capri pants to the meeting. Like a dutiful mother, she
carried the baby in a backpack. Nicky and Tony also came along to help
with baby if Cat got tied up. Both of them wore full hoods with
openings for their eyes and noses. Nicky resisted the urge to wear a
costume he had whipped up for himself a while back and just had on his
usual street clothes, while Tony wore a white blouse and a chic blue
skirt that came to mid-knee, along with pantyhose and 3" heels.
"Hey, Tony, is it OK if I ask you something?" Gaby asked.
"Yeah, what?"
"Well, it's none of my business but, Nicky told me you work for
him at a transsexual boutique. I know you wear women's clothing for a
living, but why are you wearing them now when you don't have to?"
"S' funny," Tony said, as he checked out his finery as if seeing
it for the first time. "Before we came here tonight I had set out a
white shirt, some gabardine slacks and some brown loafers to wear.
Then, when we get here I'm wearing this stuff. Isn't that odd? I sure
don't remember putting on this pink lipstick either. On da other hand,
I have to wear a bra and I don't got no dick or balls, so what should I
do?"
Gaby had no time to ponder that question because the meeting was
being called to order and she needed to take her place on the stage.
She took a seat next to Cat, who had the baby on her lap, sound asleep.
On Cat's other side was The Girl Goliath, who was fascinated by the
baby. It was all she could do to refrain from sweeping the child up in
her muscular arms.
"Oooo, what a beautiful baby," she cooed. "You and the father
must be very proud, Cat."
"Oh yes we are, very," Cat said, her goofy grin the only part of
her face visible because of the mask.
After quickly covering a few minor matters, Nightman got into the
meat of the meeting.
"We now must consider the recent actions, or, non-actions, as the
case may be, of our two newest members, The Cat and The Mouse. The
Medium assures me that the lady on the dais with the baby is The Cat,
although she is out of uniform. So I ask you, Cat, where is The Mouse?"
"As ya'll know our Daddy died tragically in Eastern Europe in a
pet food explosion some years ago. The country was under a communist
government at that time and sis and ah thought it best to flee when we
got the chance. Now that they have a more democratic government ovah
there, we decided that it was time to try to get our hands on Daddy's
estate, which is valued in the millions. Mah dear sister volunteered to
go and take care of the legalities, which could take months, ah am
told."
Gaby was proud. The hitherto almost-catatonic-seeming Cat had the
excuse they'd cooked up down to a "T." Now if only she didn't start
freelancing.
"Well, why the hell didn't youra sista tell us before she took
off for Europe? And where have you been for the past two weeks?" The
Arrow asked, from his wheelchair. "And for that matter, just what
'Eastern European' country are we talkin' about heah? Bullshitastine?"
Perhaps it was the sound of Robichaux's voice that did it but the
baby chose just that instant to start bawling. Without a moment's
hesitation the smiling Cat lifted her T-shirt, took out one of her
swollen breasts, stuck the huge nipple in the baby's mouth and let it
happily suck away.
The Girl Goliath sighed and giggled like a schoolgirl, while Mr.
Fix-it, who had been praying to God for something like this to happen
once he realized what the situation was with Cat and the baby, pursed
his lips and broke into a heavy sweat. The cameraman covering the event
for C-span used his zoom lens to get a tight close-up of the action,
while telephones all over the city started buzzing.
"Hey, stop dat!" Robichaux fumed. "In the name of decency, woman,
put yoah titty back in yoah shirt and answer mah questions!"
"Ah, shame on you, Arrow," Girl Goliath said, in a rare public
outburst. "What is indecent about a woman feeding her baby? Only in
this crazy country do you make a woman's breasts a sexual obsession,
and then get upset when they are used for what nature intended them.
Women nurse their babies in public in my country all the time and
nobody makes a big deal about it."
The women in the audience applauded.
"But, but, but we're on live TV," Robichaux sputtered. "And dat
woman's breasts are obscene. Look how big dey are, damn it."
Nightman pounded his mallet into the dais.
"People, this is a meeting of The Protectors, not a debate at the
LaLeche League. Ms. Cat, will you please answer The Arrow's questions."
But before Cat could speak, the Medium shouted at the top of her
lungs:
"Take cover everyone, now!"
The next second an explosion rocked the entire building.
"What the hell?" said Nancy Miller, Home Security liaison and
real leader of The Protectors.
"We're under attack, Mam," said one of the security guards
scurrying to shield her from harm. "I believe The Destroyers are
striking again."
"Medium, why didn't you give us a little more warning about
this?" Nightman asked, as another explosion shook the building,
knocking loose plaster and some light fixtures from the ceiling as
panicked members of the audience dove for cover.
"I keep telling you I have no control over my visions, dig?
Sometimes I can see junk like this coming and sometimes I can't."
Amid all the confusion, Cat gently plucked her nipple out of the
baby's greedy mouth and replaced it with a pacifier before she could
start crying again. She leaped off the stage and gave the baby to the
cowering Tony and Nicky.
"Make sure Micki comes to no harm," she said, in tones that let
the two babysitters know there was an "or else" attached. Then, after
handing them her chunky sandals as well, she grabbed Gaby with one arm
and sped barefoot to the roof to see what was going on.
The two explosions were caused by an unmanned airplane, the type
that had been used in the Second Iraq War with great success. It had
accurately targeted and taken out two of the building's automatic
defense systems with its missiles and was positioning itself for a
third run.
"Hey, isn't a weapon like that exclusively for the armed forces?"
Cat said, as she braced for action.
"Yes," said Mr. Fix-it, who had just joined Cat and Gaby on the
roof. "That is strictly military ordinance, but then, so are most of
the other weapons the Destroyers use. How are they getting this stuff?"
Cat didn't try to answer because she figured the pilotless plane
was close enough. She sprung from the roof to the fast-moving drone and
grabbed it with one hand.
"That woman is crazy," the Medium said.
Cat had leaped without a clear idea how to stop the plane, but
her added weight was enough to take it off course. Then she ripped off
the tail and rudder to make sure and jumped to a nearby utility pole.
The robot plane hit the street and exploded with a ball of flame, but
the attack wasn't over yet.
Two stripped down, remote controlled jeeps came rumbling down the
street in front of Protectors HQ. They were both loaded with surface-
to-surface missiles and their target was obvious. Small-arms fire
erupted from the HQ's security guards, but they did little damage to
the converted vehicles.
"Looks like the Destroyers have gotten cagey," Cat thought. "None
of them want to risk facing me personally so they let remote-controlled
robots do the dirty work. But I'll bet someone is around here to guide
the attack on scene."
With that, Cat tested the air with her more than human sense of
smell and soon sniffed up a familiar scent.
The Weapons Master was on the top of a nearby four-story
building, watching the attack with a pair of binoculars and relaying
results and corrections to Junk Yard Sal with a two-way radio.
"We are just about in position for the second phase of the
attack," he said. "In 30 seconds you can launch missiles at their
targets."
"But what about the cat woman?" Sal replied. "She took out the
drone, where is she now? I knew we should have canceled the attack when
we found out she was going to attend the meeting. The whole purpose of
attacking now was to get it done while she and The Mouse were out of
action."
"Haw, coward," Weapons Master barked. "I am the one in the field,
I am the one taking the risk. You always stay back at HQ and play with
your toys while we take the risks. Well, this plan is going to succeed,
Cat or no Cat, and if she tries to interfere I will take care of the
pizda like we took care of the Arrow last time."
"You know, the Arrow is an asshole, but he is mah teammate and I
don't like the idea of three of you goons ganging up on mah teammate,
you hear?"
The Weapons Master looked up from his binoculars and there stood
Cat, blocking out the sun. He mumbled "hivno" as he scrambled for his
Glock, but before it was halfway out of its holster Cat landed an
uppercut to his chinguard that sent him stumbling drunkenly backwards
and right off the roof. Cat hadn't meant for that to happen and leaped
to the ground to examine his squashed form.
"He's still alive, but he won't be ambushing anyone else anytime
soon," she told Gaby over the Protectors' communication system. "Ah
shore need to stop those rocket launchers now."
She scrambled back up to the roof and grabbed the Weapons
Master's RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) launcher. Taking careful aim,
she sent a grenade into the closest jeep and it went up with a huge
explosion. The shock wave from the blast was enough to flip the other
jeep over just as its missiles fired, causing another tremendous
explosion and minimal damage to Protectors HQ. Area residents, however,
would have quite a bone to pick with the government after this.
Cat smiled at her good work, but that smile turned to a frown
when she went back to where she had left the Weapons Master and found
him gone.
"There's no way he made off on his own power," she told the
Medium. "He was too seriously injured. They must have had another
Destroyer on scene, but ah didn't detect him or her. Damn."
"It was probably EXO1, Cat," the Medium said. "She's fast enough
to get in and out without being detected."
Meanwhile, Nicky and Tony were taking care of a little crisis of
their own.
"Yeah, there was a microwave in the kitchen, Nicky, so I got this
bottle all warmed up for our girl. That Medium is smart. She figured it
would be a good idea for Cat to express some breast milk for an
emergency. How are you doin'?"
"I got her cleaned up, Tony, and put a fresh diaper on her.
Jesus, Tony, have you noticed she's starting to grow a little tail? And
her baby teeth are coming in and they are sharp as razors."
"Yeah, she's already startin' to chew some holes in dis plastic
nipple," Tony said, as he sat down to get comfortable while the baby
happily sucked away. "Ye gods, don't that hurt Cat when she nurses
her?"
"Cat doesn't feel things the way us mere humans do, Tony, or
hadn't you noticed? You seem awfully concerned about her welfare,
considering what she did to you."
The ex-wiseguy paused for a moment before answering. Nicky
couldn't see the expression on his face because of the hood, but he
could tell his cousin was in deep thought.
"Ya know, I never bottle-fed any of my three kids, Nicky, not
once. I never changed a diaper, never told dem a bedtime story or
nothing. I was a bad father and a bad person, just like you tol' me
when dey almost locked me away. I've committed murder, Nicky, I've
rubbed out four men, personal. Yeah, it was all part a' the rackets,
but it was still murder. I shoulda gotten the death sentence. Now,
thanks to Cat, my dick and my balls is gone. Oh you bet, I was mad at
her at first. I wanted to kill da bitch. But now...maybe it's the meds,
the hormones, the counseling, whatever, but I don't blame Katherine for
what happened. Hell, I fucked her six times while we had her tied down.
I just feel like, maybe, I'm only getting what I deserve."
"Well, be careful what you say around here, Tony. They got all
kinds of security cameras and listening devices in operation. I
wouldn't say anything about murders here."
"Yeah, maybe you're right. Dat Arrow guy in the wheelchair hasn't
taken his eyes off us all night."
The Arrow had indeed been keeping a close watch on the
babysitters, but not for the reasons they may have thought.
"Hey, Dick," he said to one of the security guards assigned to
Nancy Miller. "Who's dat tall woman over dere with the Cat's baby?"
"What, the one with the hood over her head?" Dick said. "Don't
really know anything about her, sir. She's a personal guest of the Cat
and as long as the Cat is a Protector she's allowed two visitors to
these meetings and she doesn't have to provide any information on them.
However, I did hear the Medium call her Toni."
"Toni, eh? Dat's a cute name, yes indeed, a real cute name."
It took another half hour for the meeting to resume. Because the
meeting room took such a beating from the assault, and it was a nice
day anyhow, the rest of the meeting took place on the park-like back
lawn.
"All right Ms. Cat, the Arrow had asked you several important
questions before we were interrupted," Nightman said, as soon as the
meeting was called back to order. At that, Robichaux painfully raised
his hand.
"Well now, seein' as how the Cat here saved our bacon dis time,
dat, to me, kind a makes up for missin' out on the last go-round wit de
Destroyers," he said. "Ah wit'draw mah questions and ah say let us wait
until little Mouse returns to answer questions about herself. After
all, ah was the one most grievously injured last time and ah am ready
to forgive and forget."
Nightman was caught completely off guard by this reversal on the
part of the Arrow. He wanted those questions answered himself, but
agreed that this probably wasn't the time or place.
"Ms. Cat, can we depend on you to answer the Protectors' summons
from now on?
"Ah will do mah best, Nightman. Now that ah've got a breast pump
ah don't have to be with the little one 24/7 anymore, so it really
shouldn't be a problem."
"That's good enough for me. Due to the destruction and the unsafe
condition of the HQ, we will postpone tryouts until further notice. I
declare this meeting adjourned."
With that, the Protectors bid each other good-bye and left to
pursue their individual lives. As Cat passed Robichaux, he
motioned for her to stop.
"Ah heard what you told the Weapons Master and ah want to thank
you."
"Because ah called you an asshole?"
"No, dam' it, because you consider me a teammate. Ah know you an'
ah got off on kind 'a the wrong foot, but, maybe things can change
now."
Cat turned and hugged the ailing Arrow, making sure not to crack
his cast. When she was done, Robichaux placed a folded piece of paper
in her hand.
"What's dis?" she asked.
"Dat is mah private phone number," he said. "Please give it to
Toni and ask her, if she doesn't mind, to give me a call sometime.
Thanks."
***
Three days later Cat and Gaby were once again going to see the
Ole Perfesser at his Spanish Harlem home. It was almost two weeks since
the babyfication of Mick and some changes were definitely taking place.
The baby was acting much more independent now and wasn't too interested
in being carried around in a backpack. She still nursed at Cat's
breast, but seemed to be rebelling against that too, sometimes biting
Cat's nipple so hard with her sharp little cat teeth that she drew
blood. All in all, the baby was showing signs of entering the "terrible
twos" in less than two weeks and even the devoted Cat was beginning to
tire of her "daughter's" behavior.
"I swear, if the little hell-raiser bites me like that again, I'm
going to swat her a good one," Cat said, as she rubbed her sore nipple
before putting it away after Micki's latest feeding. "Don't you know
mommy's milk is the best thing in the world for you, Honey? Why else do
you think you're growing up so big and strong?"
Little Micki made a huffing noise, closed her eyes and folded her
arms in front of her chest. Both Cat and Gaby went all goo-goo with
just how cute that looked. Micki was dressed in a pink pinafore
decorated with cats and dogs. Her thick black hair was done up in
several pink ribbons and she wore pink crinkled panties. She had potty-
trained herself two days ago, so all the disposable diapers had been
donated to Goodwill. Her legs were bare because of the summer heat, so
she wore pink Strawberry Shortcake socks to go with her shiny patent-
leather Mary Janes. Her tail was still small enough so that it was
simply tucked under her dress.
"Yeah, like that is something, you know? How big she's getting. I
mean, yeah, like, this is magic and some junk, but, Jeez, she's like
doubled her bodyweight in less than a week. And she seems a lot older
too. She'll be talking before you know it. Do you have any idea what's
going on here, Cat?"
Cat's eyes got a far-away look that Gaby had seen often in the
past two weeks.
"All I know is my darling Micki will grow up healthy and strong
if she listens to her mommy and does everything I say. I must nurse her
at least three more weeks to make sure."
"I wonder where she got that idea?" Gaby thought, as they left
the car. Little Micki insisted on walking to the building herself (she
started walking yesterday) and the two adults indulgently followed
behind. It was during this long perambulation that a now-familiar local
made his appearance.
"Aha, Cat, you bitch, don't you be thinkin' you can sneak into my
neighborhood wit'out me knowin' it."
Cat had totally forgone a costume this time, but a blind man
could tell it was her. Her only concession to a secret identity was the
large Channel sunglasses she wore. She dressed in a leather motorcycle
blouse that zipped down the front for easy access and a pair of skin-
tight leather slacks with a hole in the back for her tail. About the
only casual aspect of her outfit were her size 18 Reeboks.
"Hermoso! Old buddy!" Cat said cheerfully. "How you doing, pal?
Where's your posse?"
"I ain't got no posse no more, filthy bitch!" Hermoso said, as he
shook with emotion. "Everybody laughs at the Broncos now. Nobody wants
to join up. And it's all because of you."
With that, Hermoso whipped a .45 Smith and Wesson from the back
of his pants. He had placed himself between the heroes and the Ole
Perfeser's building and he was closest to the baby. He aimed the
powerful weapon at Micki's head.
"Yeah, oh yeah, bitch, now I got you where I want you. I know
this is your little bastard. I seen you wit' your ugly titty stuck in
her mouth on the TV. So, you got some dumb alleycat to fuck you, huh?
How'd he get around the stink, eh?"
Cat began to tense, Gaby readied herself for action.
Forgotten at the moment was baby Micki, who had folded her arms
AND raised her left eyebrow. She started to emit a soft growl as she
stared at Hermoso's gun hand.
"Come on chichas, what you gonna do? Either I kill the little
bastard or you kill me and the way I see it, I win either way because I
hate this fucking life I'm living and...SON OF A BITCH!"
With an angry snarl, baby Micki had leaped on Hermoso's arm and
bitten a big plug out of his hand, forcing him to drop the .45 as he
howled in pain. She turned into a little pink blur as she ripped and
clawed her way over every inch of the gang leader's body. Hair and
pieces of clothing were still falling to the ground when Micki stopped
and Hermoso stood quivering in bloody tatters. He looked as if he'd
been locked in a tiger cage by mistake. Micki spat a piece of Hermoso's
ponytail out of her mouth, went "humph" and continued waddling to the
Perfesser's door. The whole thing took about three seconds.
"Well, I'd thought of about a dozen ways we could have stopped
him before he hurt Micki, but that wasn't one of them," Gaby said. "Do
you want to call the ambulance or should I?"
"Amazing! Magnifico!"
"Oh, oh Cat, it's your number one fan, fer shur," Gaby said, as
Diego ran and embraced Micki.
"What a baby!" he yelled, as he swung her in circles and tossed
her in the air. "You are going to be as great as your mother some day!"
"Stop throwing her around like that, Diego. You're going to make
her sick."
Lupe pulled on her cousin's pants leg to make him stop, but the
giggling Micki didn't seem to mind at all. Diego finally returned Micki
to terra firma, where Lupe hugged her like a long lost sister.
(Author's continuity note -- Yes, I said Diego was Lupe's brother
before, but I made a mistake, OK? Lupe is an only child -- Bluto)
"Ah, what a pretty little girl you are, muy bonita. Come Micki, I
have some clothes that don't fit me anymore and Aunt Alabreca wants to
see if you can wear them."
With that, Lupe ran up the stairs with Micki toddling after her.
"That ought to keep them busy for a while," Cat said, with a
motherly smile. "Let's go see what nonsense the Perfesser is up to
now."
As usual, the two Protectors climbed the stairs to the
Perfesser's private rooms. As usual, Diego tagged along like a lovesick
pup. But this time he was wearing a sad expression.
"Why the long face, sport?" Cat asked him.
"Ah, Ms. Cat, you have a lovely daughter, but I had hoped I would
have the pleasure of being the father of your first child myself."
"Oh, well, you never know kid, you can always be the number two
seed-planter," Cat said, with a grin.
"I don't think Diego wants to be number two," Gaby said, and
added in a lower voice to herself, "not if he knows what's good for him
and junk."
All three of them entered the top floor living room and found
refreshments placed on a modest table in front of a well-padded sofa.
The Ole Perfesser was waiting for them by the table.
"Ah, Ms. Cat, I am so glad that you could make it here today.
Please, sit down on the sofa, help yourself to anything you might want.
I know a nursing mother like yourself has to eat and drink a lot to
keep up the milk supply, yes?"
"So true, Perfesser," Cat said, as she unselfconsciously dug in
to the food and drink. "Can't go out hunting for food when you have a
little one to protect."
"Un huh, yes, I see," the Perfesser said, almost absentmindedly.
"Gaby and I need to confer in the next room before I can elaborate on
the purpose of this meeting, my dear. Would you mind if Diego
entertains you while we're gone? It will only take a few minutes."
"Take your time, Perfesser," Cat said, through her mouth stuffed
with food. "I'm sure Diego will make fine company."
Gaby and the Perfesser went through a side door to the
Perfesser's inner sanctum. The room was dark and soundproofed, but they
spoke in whispers anyhow because of Cat's inhumanly sharp hearing.
"I know you have only been reading auras for a short time, Gaby,
but I'm surprised you didn't catch it."
"Catch what, Perfesser? What have I missed?'
"The reason for the odd behavior in Cat that you have been
telling me about. Cat is the result of a delicate mixture of the woman
Katherine Filin and the demon Malato-Zu. Normally it is a 50/50 balance
of demon and human, resulting in The Cat, a completely different third
personality. She has the demon's fierceness and savagery, but
Katherine's humanity and sense of humor. However, on certain occasions
the demon overpowers the human side and becomes the completely dominant
personality. From what you have told me, this used to happen during the
full moon, but now seems to occur at random. And when it does happen,
the demon aura that always surrounds Cat becomes much stronger, as it
is right now."
"What? But Cat, she doesn't look any different."
"True, but I see a definite increase in the aura from the normal
state of things. It's a subtle increase, perhaps no more than 10%, not
enough to bring on the physical presence of the demon, but enough that
the demon is more in control mentally than it would usually be."
"Then that would explain a lot, why she's acting odd now and even
before, when we were all in the Philippines. The aura of Malato-Zu was
very strong then, even when the demon wasn't around. Mick, the Mouse,
told me on the return that Malato told him Cat was in heat, just like a
real lioness, and that she wanted to mate with him. He said Malato-Zu
had never communicated with him before."
"And apparently when they did mate after they got back home, she
did something to him that transformed him into a baby, and a female
baby at that. Haw, I never guessed that the Mouse was a man. He's
pretty good."
"But the question now, Perfesser, is how did she do it and can
anything be done to restore the Mouse to what he used to be?"
"Well, obviously, it had something to do with the sex act. Look
what happened to those goons who gang-raped Cat last Fall. I got in
touch with that doctor you read about in the Times, Dr. Mahindra. He
confirmed that all the men who had sex with Cat underwent some sort of
feminization. But none of them completely changed gender and none of
them were turned into babies."
"We need to find out what was different in Mick's case."
"That's what we're here to do today, Gaby, and I fear it won't be
easy getting the answer."
They re-entered the living room to find Diego sitting on the sofa
by himself.
"Don't look at me, I didn't run her off," he said. "We were
having a nice conversation when she hefted her breasts, said it was
time to feed Micki again and left. She said she'd be back as soon as
she was finished."
"Just as well," the Perfesser said. "We need to make some
preparations before she returns. You've told me you're suddenly ready
to explore your magical heritage, Diego. Well, now would be a good time
to start."
Cat found Micki, Lupe and Lupe's aunt in an apartment on the
second floor. They had gone through about half the clothes stored in
plastic bags and found several items that fit Micki. The floor was
littered with the tattered remains of the outfits Micki didn't like,
but she had allowed a few to survive without destruction.
"Sorry about the ones she tore to bits," Cat said, as she grabbed
Micki and positioned herself for the feeding. "Some of them look like
they were kind of cute. She is getting so finicky now."
The morning's activities had left Micki thirsty and hungry and
she didn't object to Cat's generous nipple being shoved into her mouth
this time. She sucked and squeezed for all she was worth and actually
made a good effort at emptying the giant gland of all its milk.
"Did I ever get fed like that when I was a baby, Auntie Al?" Lupe
asked her aunt.
"Er, no, child," Alabreca said, with a lowered head. "Your mother
never produced much milk. Your grandfather said it was probably due to
her...problem."
"Yeah, the same problem that's keeping her away from us today,"
Lupe said bitterly.
Micki soon finished suckling and had a very full tummy. Alabreca
could see she had eaten too much and volunteered to burp her. She
placed the toddler on her shoulder and patted her gently on the back.
Lupe wanted to take some part in the proceedings and laughed and held
Micki's hand.
Micki made a gurgling noise, hiccupped, then threw up right in
Lupe's face. Lupe was caught with her mouth open and swallowed a
mouthful of the liquid in surprised reaction.
"Ew, gross," her aunt said teasingly.
"Oh, it's not so bad. It's not sour or smelly at all. In fact, it
tasted kind of good, kind of like honey and cream."
Alabreca took both Micki and Lupe to the bathroom. She had them
undress while she ran a tub of warm water. Then she had them bathe
together to clean up, while she soaked the stains out of their clothes.
This was the first time anyone outside the family had seen Lupe's duel
genitals since the pajama party disaster, but she was just as curious
about Micki's little tail as Micki was about her special feature so
there was a bit of innocent examination on both sides.
When Alabreca returned to make sure they were using the soap,
they were laughing and splashing each other like old friends. She was
happy that Lupe had a friend now, because she'd had almost none in her
young life.
"Ah, what are we gonna do with you, Guadelupe, eh?" she asked, as
she washed her niece's hair. "You are almost 11 years old and you got
no tits. When I was your age, I was already wearing an adult bra.. You
don't even need a training bra for those little buds."
"AUNTIE AL, that's embarrassing!" Lupe said, as she put her hands
to her ears and shook her head.
"Oh, Micki doesn't care," Alabreca said, as she gently pinched
the toddler's nose. "I'll bet she gets some big ones when she's a
little older. Look at those watermelons her mother carries around."
Micki gave Alabreca a curious look and raised her eyebrow, but
the woman ignored it.
Auntie Al soon had the children dried off and put them in some
nightgowns for a little nap. In less than a minute they were both in
dreamland, holding each other's hands.
Meanwhile, Cat had returned to the Perfessor's apartment to find
some changes had been made. The furniture had all been moved to the
side and there was a symbol chalked on the floor.
"Well, what's all this then?" she asked.
"That is a pentagram, as I am sure you already know. We would
like to ask Malato-Zu a few questions and I think this will help us get
some answers."
Cat stayed near the entrance to the room.
"That could be a dangerous thing to do, little man. Malato-Zu is
not known to suffer fools easily, especially male fools."
The Perfesser produced a small item and handed it to Diego. It
was what looked like a rag doll made to resemble the idol of Malato-Zu.
Attached to it was a piece of Cat's costume that had come off when she
almost transformed to her demon form here before.
"Please come in and lay down in the pentagram, Ms. Cat," Diego
said, his voice strangely soothing. "I promise you nothing will be done
to harm you or your child. We just want to help."
Cat wavered for a moment and then walked to the chalked symbol
and laid down in the middle of it.
"You once asked my grandson what he could do and he didn't know.
We have since learned that he has the gift of persuasion. He has always
had a way with the ladies and could talk himself out of any bad
situation, but it apparently goes much deeper than that. Normally, you
could still resist his power, but the voodoo doll makes all the
difference."
Then the Perfesser, Diego and Gaby sat in a triangle around Cat,
each making sure not to touch the pentagram. The Perfessor started an
ancient Native American chant, while Gaby beat on a 200 year-old drum
and Diego held tight to the voodoo doll. After several minutes of
chanting, the Perfesser picked up an old peace pipe and lit it with a
wooden match. He took a healthy pull on it, blew the smoke in Cat's
direction and passed it to his grandson. The pipe passed among them
several times and each of them blew smoke in Cat's direction. The room
seemed to grow darker and darker, until there was a sudden flash of
light.
All four people in the room were transported to another place and
time, a place of clouds and fire and endless stars. Gaby and Diego
remained silent, but the Perfesser addressed Cat's stiff form.
"Come out demon, come out Malato-Zu. We wish to have some words
with you."
There was a slight trembling, as if from a minor earthquake, and
a sickly green smoke rose from Cat's body. The eyes were the first
thing the Perfesser saw, yellow and glowing with hate, then the teeth,
huge, sharp, yellow and menacing. The body formed quickly after that.
It was massive and feral. It somewhat resembled the demon Cat, but was
in no way human at all.
"You are bold, mortal, more bold than I'd given you credit for,
considering the limits of your puny power. Know that these weak spells
of yours cannot hold me for long, so if you have any questions, you had
best ask them now."
"Why have you transformed Mickey Montana into a child?"
"I am the symbol of fertility as well as death, human. I take as
much pleasure in bringing life into the world as taking it away. These
breasts were meant to suckle a multitude of my children, but that all
ended when Jah imprisoned me in that hateful idol. The angels came to
earth to have the daughters of men. I alone, of all the thousands who
rebelled, came to earth to have the sons of men. And many of them I
had. I had mastery over them and they gave me their seed. I bore many
children and they would have eventually ruled the world. But the day
came when Jah took notice and caused the cataclysm that killed all my
children and forced me to abandon flesh. We had all rebelled to enjoy
the pleasures of the flesh, so Jah took away those pleasures. None of
us may now bring forth offspring of our own."
The Perfesser wondered if that was a tone of regret in the
demon's voice.
"I no longer had a womb to produce my own children, but I found
another way with the help of the Great Deceiver. I gather souls for him
and when I have gathered enough, I may use a human that I have lain
with to produce a child in my own image. When first I laid eyes on
Mickey Montana I thought he was a woman. When I discovered he was a man
I knew him to be perfect for my purposes. He, now she, shall be the one
to carry out my will on earth and there is nothing you can do to stop
it."
"So that's what this 'gathering of souls' was all about. Does
Katherine know what she has done to Mick?"
"Katherine Filin does as I tell her. She is weak and easy to
control."
"I don't believe that. I think she has more control over the
situation than you want us to know."
"Believe what you wish, but your spells are beginning to fade.
Send me away now, or face my wrath."
"I promise you, Malato-Zu, one of these days we will be strong
enough to send you away for good," the Perfesser said.
"Then that is also the day you will see Katherine Filin no more."
Although troubled by that last statement, the Perfesser began
another chant, this one of reversal and the room quickly returned to
normal. The three mystics looked at each other and compared notes.
"Well, like, that was pretty interesting and junk, but it didn't
tell me much more than we already knew."
"Oh, it told me a great deal, Gaby. It confirmed much of the
speculation I had about what happened to Mickey. And I think the demon
was lying when she said there was nothing we could do. She was afraid
we were going to find something out, that's why she was in such a hurry
to end the session."
"You mean to tell me Cat's daughter is really the Mouse? And the
Mouse is really a man? Why the heck didn't you tell me before?"
"Diego, my boy, would you have believed any of that if I'd have
told you before now?"
"Ah, er, well...no, I wouldn't have. I'd have thought you'd just
gotten some bad weed."
"Just so, child, just so."
"But what was that about being the only female among all the
rebellious angels? I thought all angels were basically female."
"A popular notion, Diego, but a false one," the Perfesser said.
"Angels are spirit creatures, they are neither male nor female. If you
ever saw that movie "Dogma" where the angel pulls down his pants and
it's just a blank space down there - that's the way angels really are.
The angels who rebelled before the flood weren't deemed evil so much
because they took on flesh, angels did that all the time in the days of
the Old Testament. The real trespass was that they gave themselves
genitals and had sex with women."
"Except Malato-Zu, who gave herself female sex organs and screwed
men," Diego said, as if a light bulb lit up over his head. "Man, I wish
you'd asked her why she did that. You think she was gay?"
"It's doubtful. I rather look upon the old girl as the world's
first feminist, which is extraordinary once you think about how long
ago this all took place and the generally lowly position women had to
assume even then."
The three mystics placed the sleeping Cat on the sofa, erased the
pentagram and put everything in the room back in its place. They let
Cat sleep until she awoke of her own accord. Then they bundled up the
still-napping Micki and Gaby took them both back to the Montana
building.
It was early the next day and Gaby had assembled Tony, Nicky, Cat
and Micki in Mick's apartment to update them on everything they had
learned. It was time for yet another of Micki's endless feedings and
she still wore her Hello Kitty pajamas, but she was wide awake and
peered over Cat's imposing teat so as not to miss anything.
"Before we get started, what was that note from the Arrow all
about, Tony?" Cat asked. "The man was positively nice when he
handed it to me. He really wanted you to have it."
"Aw Jeez," Tony said, as he scratched his head. "The dumbass
wants to go on a date! He wants to know my phone number and what I like
to eat. I mean, is he shittin' me? Me? On a date? With him?"
All in attendance took a moment to glance at the new Tony Bass.
Tony was wearing a flowing yellow sundress and some strappy clogs. The
dress had billowing sleeves and was modestly cut in front to show a
hint of his budding d?colletage. He'd learned to manicure his fingers
and toes during his counseling sessions and both were painted to
perfection. His hair had just been permed into a feathery Farrah Faucet
style -- a little out of date, but it seemed to fit him -- while his
lips were colored bright red. So far, so good, but then they had to go
to the face.
Ah, the face.
Its most prominent feature was the broken nose, obtained by
starting one too many drunken brawls. Tony also had a broad forehead
and slightly slanted brows, while his smoothly shaved chin was broad
and cleft. In point of fact, Tony looked like Kirk Douglas in drag and
talked like a cast member of "The Sopranos."
"You got a nice body, Tony, but your face would sink a ship,"
Nicky said, as he manfully strained to suppress a guffaw. "Just your
luck you were wearing a hood when the redneck spotted you. You probably
reminded him of his mammy attending a KKK meeting."
At that, everyone in the room DID break into gales of laughter.
Tony put his hands on his hips and stomped his foot.
"Yeah, yeah, ha, ha, ha," he said. "Look here, ya bastards, I
don' give a fuck what my face looks like. I ain't got no intentions of
going on a date wit' dat Arrow creep or any other man. Current
appearances to da contrary, I'm still a man myself, ya bums."
Tony tucked his dress under and sat with his hands daintily on
his knees.
"OK, now that that's out of the way can we please get to the
reason we're here and junk?" Gaby said. "Malato-Zu told us yesterday
that she did this to Mick because she couldn't reproduce any other way.
The only way she can have offspring is to "lay" with men and transform
them into copies of herself. Now we know that having sex with Cat has
an extremely feminizing effect on men. Look what's happened to Tony
here and all those hobos who gang-raped Cat last Fall."
"Yes, but neither Tony, nor any of those other men were
completely turned into females, like Mick," Nicky said. "And for damn
sure he's the only one who was changed into a baby. What's the
difference between when they had sex with Cat and when Mick did?"
"Hey, I remember somethin'," Tony said. "Cat acted real
nonchalant when we was fucking her, said it didn't bother her at all
because she wasn't in season. Didn't one of yous say she was in season
when she and Mickey boy went at it?"
"Yes, I was in season, in heat," Cat said, as she quietly sat and
fed Micki. "I felt like I really had to have sex, but I had no idea it
would do this to Mick. You've got to believe me, Malato-Zu hid that
from me."
"So, having sex with Cat while she's in season will change a man
into a female baby," Gaby said. "But it seems there must be something
more to it than that. What was that you said to me the other day, Cat,
something about nursing Micki for three more weeks. It seemed very
important to you."
"Hmm, ah, I don't remember saying that. Isn't all this nursing
what's making Micki grow so fast? She just eats so much and you can
almost see her growing. Don't you think Mick would want to grow up as
fast as possible? Who knows? After all this good mother's milk, why she
might wind up six feet tall just like me. Wouldn't that be great,
Micki?"
A loud popping noise was heard as Micki spit out Cat's nipple,
spilling milk on Cat's lap and the chair she sat on. Micki jumped off
her lap and wiped her face like she had bitten into a sour apple.
"Da mik, da mik, dats da answer," she shouted.
"What the fuck?" said Tony Bass.
"Mick, Mick, you can talk!" said Nicky joyfully.
"Yea, I cwan tawk an' I'm still a dam good detwective," Micki
said. "Dam dis soft pawit. I swound wike E'mer Fudd!"
"More like Tweetie Bird," Gaby said.
"Naw, Mike Tyson," Tony offered.
"Whatewa. Da onwee utta ting difwent fom when I had sex wif Cat
an when Towe did was da mik. She wa woaded wit da stuff an' mad me
dwink a gawon a it when we wus fuckin'."
The placid smile, which had disappeared after the s?ance,
returned to Cat's face.
"Young lady!" she said. "How dare you use language like that? And
how can mommy's milk be bad for you, Sweetie? It's the only thing
keeping you alive and it's the only thing that will help you to grow up
big and strong like me."
"Mick, don't believe her," the Medium said. "The aura around her
has grown very strong. The demon is in control!"
Indeed, Cat was glowing and growing and in no time at all the
full-demon Cat was standing in the middle of the room. Malato-Zu cast a
baleful eye at Tony and Nicky, who were holding each other and cowering
behind an overturned chair, while Gaby shivered in her black boots,
wondering what might be the heroic thing to do.
"Daughter, I did not go through all this, I did not slaughter and
devour all those men for you to defy me now."
"Yow," Micki thought. "She can speak to me telepathically!
Another benefit of being her offspring, I guess."
"Now, Daughter, behave yourself and drink your milk or I will
feast on Tony Bass and Nicky Greao. That I could easily do, because for
such an evil clan, the Gambolis are a very tasty lot. I will eat
everything and there will be nothing of them left for you to bury or
mourn."
The giant lion-thing smacked it's lips and licked its huge teeth
in anticipation of the meal, almost hoping the child would be defiant
so it could feed on human flesh once more.
"Tell you what, 'Mom,' I'll make a deal with you," Micki mentally
said, and then scrambled to the kitchen as fast as her little legs
would carry her. She found what she wanted under the sink and then ran
back to the living room.
"Demon, this is liquid drain cleaner. I think you still have
enough of Katherine in you to know what this can do if it is
swallowed," Micki said, mentally. She popped off the lid and held the
bottle close to her lips. "If you don't leave my friends alone and
allow Cat to take back control, I'm going to swallow the contents of
this bottle and then there will be no more offspring for you."
For the first time in all his experience with Malato-Zu, Micki
saw a look of uncertainty on the demon's face.
"That won't work," she said. "You have inherited my
invulnerability to harm."
"Have I?" Micki asked. "I don't have a demon in me like Katherine
does. I'm betting that, while I may be able to recover from some
injuries, I won't come back from the massive internal damage ingesting
drain cleaner will cause. Want to find out?"
"Noooooo."
Micki heard a piercing wail in her mind, as Malato-Zu collapsed
and shriveled down to a sleeping, naked Cat. Her threat was gone, at
least for the present.
Micki toddled over to Cat and sat next to her on the floor,
gently running her tiny fingers through the cat woman's hair.
"Micki, Micki is everything all right," Gaby said. "The demon,
what happened?"
"Evwee ting is awite fa now. Da demon ist quiat agin."
"Oh good God, Mick, that was horrible," Nicky said, as he pulled
himself away from the grasp of the still-terrified Tony. "How can you
stand to be around that awful woman? You need to get away from her now.
We all need to get away from her, before she kills us all!"
"Yeth, it ith howwable, but I'm not abawndaming Cat," Micki said,
as she continued to stroke Cat's face. "You cawn weev if you wan, not
me."
Nicky was stymied. He hated Cat for what she had done to his
family and his friend. But he still loved Mick, even if he was female
now, and he didn't want to give that up. So he simply started helping
put the room back together and kept his mouth shut.
It was late afternoon before Cat recovered enough to sit up and
shakily put on some clothes. Gaby stayed to make sure, but detected
only the normal Cat aura about her.
"The demon is still there, as always," she told Micki and the
others. "But Cat is in control, at least, as in control as she ever
will be.''
Thus assured, Nicky and Tony went to take care of some customers
at Nicky's neglected store, while Gaby stayed to lend what further help
she could.
"Well, you showed that old demon who was boss, squirt," Cat told
Micki, as she smiled at her 'daughter.' "Speaking of squirt, what the
hell am I going to do with all this breast milk? My tits are sore as
hell!"
The beast pump did extra duty that day and by the time Cat was
finally 'empty' she had given almost a ? gallon of magic milk.
"What do we do with the stuff?"
"Let's freeze it for now." Gaby said. "Who knows? There may
actually be a use found for it sometime in the future."
"Oh no, I jwst tot o' somtin'," Micki said as she slapped her
little head. "Wupe. She swawoed a moutfuwa dat stuff da oddar day."
"I wonder what effect it will have on a hermaphrodite," Gaby
said. "Maybe none at all?"
"Don't count on it," Cat said. "We'd better keep a close watch on
her."
At that point, there was a knock on the door.
"Get that, will you, Gaby," Cat said. "Right now, you're the most
normal-looking of all of us."
Gaby muttered something about a back-handed compliment and went
to answer the door. When she opened it, there stood a neat-looking
little man and woman. The man was sharply dressed and his gray hair was
carefully trimmed. The woman was very pretty and though she had some
wrinkles on her face, nothing else betrayed the fact that she was in
her late 40s. They were both less than five feet tall.
"Hello, may I help you?" Gaby said, as she stared down at the two
of them.
"Yes," the little man said. "We are Mr. and Mrs. Montana. We'd
like to see our son, please."
Gaby gasped.
