Another stress filled morning, Katze thought. Last night he had passed out from sheer exhaustion from staying awake close to twenty-four hours from hacking into the mainframe. He would have still been on the computer if his instincts hadn’t told him to bail. When he had woken up he had been in Raoul’s bed again buck naked with the Blondie spooning him again and also doing what he did to him the first time he woke up in his arms. Thankfully it was a work day so Raoul didn’t stay in bed with him for long. But that was a different problem then the one he was having right now. A much bigger problem.

Katze watched the doctors around him carefully. Every move they made he took note of. Every word they said he tried to memorize. He made sure not to do anything that would have them justify shooting him up with something. He knew he was just being paranoid but reading the recorded medical notes of Riki and other stuff he found he couldn't help it. Someone was doing some crazy science experiment on the kid but he didn’t know who and there were too many doctors in his room and that was if the offender was in the exam room to begin with.

Three Rubies, two Jades and a Platinas were crowded around him taking notes, taking his blood pressure, talking quietly in the corner. He couldn’t trust them.

“Well you look perfectly fine. We will be giving you an injection of vitamins and a few vaccinations and taking some of your blood but after that you can be on your way.”

Katze shook his head. “The injections I will not be taking per my masters orders of course.” Katze added. “Per my Master Raoul’s orders all injections that are to be given to me a list of said injections are to be sent to him where he can review them as are the vials of what you are going to inject me with. My master was very clear that I was to tell you that without his verbal conformation I was to humbly inform you of his request since he could not be present to do so himself.” Katze lowered his head and tried to be as submissive as possible, curving into him self. Peeking through his lashes he saw the group of elites look at each other.

“Of course we would not over step our selves but you do need these vaccinations.”

“Yes sire. I was given a printout of my medical record from the private doctor I had been seeing to give to you. It shows all the immunizations that I have been given. My master does not want me to be given any unnecessary injections that would cause me pain if there was no need for it.” A printout Katze had quickly brought along when he found out he would be getting a check up to see how his body was after being repaired just in case he needed it.

“Does Sir Raoul not see how much he insults us by having his pet tell us what we can and cannot do?.”

Katze hid his smile at that loud whisper. Then he thought of something. “Forgive me sires I forgot to also mention that my master also wanted me to ask you for a list of all tests you will be using my blood for so that he can give you the approval for taking only the amount required for those tests.” Katze studied the eyes of all the elites as inoffensive as he could. Nothing but impatience reflected back at him but that didn’t mean anything.

One of the Rubies, the one that had so far been doing all the talking, sighed unprofessionally. “I understand that Sir Raoul is very busy but please inform him that it is…unseemly to have his pet inform us of his wishes. If Sir Raoul has any requests in how he would like us to perform our duties then a call, email or he can have his Furniture formally speak with us not his pet.”

“Forgive me Sire I meant no offense. I was just repeating as best as I could what my master told me.”

“Of course you didn’t.”

Katze tried to hide the anxiety that he felt as they crowed around him again. He wanted out of here as fast as he could. He had no idea if they were only doing things to Riki or if they were, whoever “they” were, doing experiments on all pets. He wanted to get back to Raoul’s apartment so he could hack his way in again to find more information on what he found yesterday or at least clarify what little information he did have.

“Well since we can’t do anything without Sir Raoul’s verbal approval we will release you. Please tell Sir Raoul’s Furniture to have him contact us at his earliest convenience so we can set up another appointment to get these test started.”

“The list Sire?” Katze wanted to have the list in his hand before he left so he could look at it. “I was told by my master to have it in my hand when he stopped to refresh himself at home in an hour.” Playing the master card worked wonders Katze thought, especially when that master was a powerful Blondie.

With the list in his hand Katze had to calm control himself not to unfold the list and read it while he followed Niko out of the hospital, it wouldn’t look good if he were seen. “Niko can you contact Sir Raoul for me please?” Katze asked the Furniture once they got back to the apartment.

“…Master Raoul does not like to be disturbed when he is in the lab.” Niko said in a quiet gentle voice.

“Sorry Niko but I need to talk to him right now. I have information that Sir Raoul needs.” Well more like he needed to give Raoul a heads up. Those elites only backed down because Raoul was a Blondie and Raoul also was known for having a nasty temper if he was interrupted at work but they still might call him. “Don’t worry Niko I’ll take full responsibility for bugging him.”

“Umm..Thank you…but are you sure? Master Raoul really doesn’t like to be bothered.”

Raoul must really have a nasty temper. “I’m sure Niko.” Katze smiled at the skittish Furniture and motioned him to do as he bid him to do. When Niko rounded the corner to call Raoul, Katze took out the folded piece of paper, the list, and read what tests those doctors wanted to do on him and it all looked perfectly fine to him. But what they say they are giving him and what they do give him are two different things.

“Katze?”

Katze looked up from the list to Niko’s worried face.

“Master Raoul is on the line waiting for you…umm…he’s not in a very accommodating frame of mind so…”

Katze smiled at him reassuringly. “It’s okay Niko.” Katze walked over to him and put him hand on his shoulder. “I’ll make sure to tell him that I forced you to call him.”

smiled up at him thankfully; bowing his head he motioned Katze to follow him.

Katze had to stifle his laughter when he saw that from all the rooms Niko could have made the call from he choose to have him that Raoul’s call in the living room a sure place to be able to hear every word he and Raoul said to each other. “Thanks Niko…”

Niko winked at him then left.

“Katze there better be a good reason why you forced Niko to call me.”

Katze looked behind him and saw Niko peeping around the corner giving him an innocent little smile. “Well looks like I don’t need to make sure you know that I made him call you,” Katze mumbled.

“Katze!”

“Sorry Sir Raoul I needed Niko to call you because I wanted you to be aware, in case you are contacted, that I used you as an excuse not to get my blood taken or to be given any injections of any kind from the doctors when I got my check up.”

Raoul looked at him from the screen and sighed. “And why would you do that?”

“As an ex-Furniture I have already been vaccinated so there was no need for them to get the injections I also gave them my medical records for them to refer to so that they know I had them.”

“I’m fine with that. They shouldn’t have been giving you any kinds of injections of any kind without my consent anyway. What else?”

“I have also told them that you would want a list of every test they wanted to do with me and the blood they wanted to take.”

“They should already have it on file that they are to give me lists on every test they want to do. I’ve always made it a point to know what my pets have to go through when they get a medical attention even if it is a check up or a paper cut. To think that they wouldn’t do it with you is outrageous and makes me doubt their capabilities if they cant follow simple instructions that I had already established.”

Katze was amazed that Raoul was taking it so well and that he was so controlling in how his pets were treated by medical personnel but it also made him wonder. If Raoul always did this then why did they try and….Katze shook his head maybe he was over thinking the whole thing.

“Katze? Is there another reason why you didn’t want them taking the tests?”

“No, no other reason.”

“Really…”

“That was the only reason Sir Raoul.” He couldn’t very well tell him the true reason why. Iason didn’t tell Raoul so he couldn’t tell him as well.

“Sorry Katze I need to get back to work. We will talk about this when I get home.”

“There is-“ Katze tsked in irritation when Raoul cut the line. It wasn’t good to get Raoul interested in what he was doing. One he damn well wouldn’t be happy that he was hacking into Eos might even take steps to insure that he couldn't and two Iason would kill him. He needed to find a way to get his mind off the whole thing.

“Katze? Will you be going out today?”

“No I-.” A thought popped into his head. “Actually I think I will be going out today.” Katze quickly opened up a line to connect to the one person that might be able to help him…god help him.

“Iason Mink’s residence.”

Standing under the shower Katze finally started to relax as the water pounded on the tense muscles on his back. After talking to Riki, Katze changed his clothes and went to the pet saloon where they agreed to meet.

had never felt so uncomfortable in his whole life the moment he entered the pet saloon and he had been in many uncomfortable situations. The moment he walked in every perfect eye on every perfect face stared at him while perfect lips started whispering. Pets…maybe forty of them littered the floor, sofas, tables and even some swung from swings that hung from the ceiling.

When he sat down they swarmed to him. Touching his hair, his face, body, their hands were everywhere on him. It was like they never saw a pet, god he couldn’t believe he called himself a pet, but it was like they never saw a pet like him. Give him elites, cut throat pirates or smart ass gang leaders from Ceres and he’d know what to do but fifteen feather brained pets that lacked the brain capacity to understand the insults he hissed at them took him to a new level of helplessness and he refused to dumb down his cutting remarks any more then he already had.

They overwhelmed him. It had been thirteen years that he had to deal with pets , besides selling them to whore houses after they had been retired from Eos. Even when he was Iason’s Furniture taking care of his pets sometimes were more then he could handle. Give him a computer broken to shit in a box and he’d fix it, no problem. He could stare down the most seasoned killer and have them tremble in fear but use that same look with these young sex dolls and they just giggle and say “You’re cute”. If he could kill them and get away with it he would have.

That’s why he had never been so happy to see Riki in his life. The second he walked in the whole room became dead still. The pets around him froze and with one fierce look and a single snarled word Riki had all those bothersome pets stumbling over themselves and over each other to get away from the savage predator. Katze was also relieved that the old Riki was still in there. The Riki that the Slum Mongrels had called Varja the demon god of the underworld and not just because of his dark looks, and that the carefree laughing fool that he acted like now wasn't what he permanently was.

“Good to see you haven’t lost it Riki.”

“Ya well it’s sad to see that you have.”

“You can’t insult the brainless.”

“You can’t just use words with these guys.” Riki shook his head and sat down next to Katze propping his feet on the table then snapping his fingers to get the attendees attention who, without asking, gave Riki a drink.

Katze raised his brows at that. “Been coming here a lot Riki?”

“Been coming here for the past four days, one of those days you said you were going to help me then ignored me.”

“I’m here now aren’t I?” Katze shifted uncomfortably in his seat he never felt more old then he did right now, he had to be the oldest pet here. Katze scowled, it's been only three days and he had already accepted the degrading title of being a pet. But even with Riki keeping the pets away he could still see and feel them starring at him, more so now that Riki was next to him. When he contacted Riki for, god forbid, advice he had expected laughter but instead got “Dress nice and meet me in the saloon”. He was regretting it already.

“Hey you’re the one who was asking for help.” Riki said stretching.

“Then why couldn’t we do that at your place?”

“This way we can watch to see if the pet comes while we talk.”

“….”

“Come on Katze. You wanted MY advice,” Riki snickered at that. “Tell daddy all about it.”

Katze stared down his nose at Riki who blinked at him.

“Damn Katze you been hanging around Iason too much,” Riki mumbled. “You gave me the chills a little with that look.”

I need a day off...Katze took a deep breath. "I need to distract Raoul. I can't tell you why." Katze held up his hand when Riki was about to talk. “Don’t ask please. All I will say is that I'm doing a job for Iason and even that I could get my ass kicked if Iason was to know I said that much to you."

"I won’t say anything and I won’t ask."

Katze was surprised the kid normally would bug the crap outta him until he told him. "Why aren't you bugging the crap outta me until I tell you?"

"Why? Because Iason will know I was with you and he'll wanna know what you told me. If he thinks I'm keeping a secret the bastard will rip it out of me in a way I will not tell you. So if you not telling me why you need to distract Raoul will help me keep my secrets from Iason then I don't wanna know."

Katze wondered what secrets Riki was hiding from Iason but didn't bother asking. If the kid wanted him to know then he'd tell him.

"Sooo you wanna distract Raoul huh? I guess it depends on what he's done to you for starters."

"He hasn't done anything." Katze said quickly, too quickly.

Riki turned to him with a huge grin. "So he has done something!"

"I just said he didn't."
"Ya but you denied it too quickly which means he did." Riki rubbed his hands together.

"I'm not telling you anything."

"Fucking kill joy! Come on Katze this is Sir Stick-In-The-Ass you gotta give me something. With all the shit Raoul has given Iason for having a Mongrel for a pet I'd give anything to see the look on his face when he found out he took one as well."

"Riki..."

"Fine!" Riki threw his hands in the air pissed then in a blink of an eye he turned to Katze in a good mood again with a wicked gleam in his eye. "I know. Why don't you seduce him? That should distract him."

Katze shook his head when Riki had told him that. Turning off the water he reached for the towel on the rack. They had stayed in the saloon for another two hours but the pet Riki was searching for never appeared and he still had no clue on how he was going to get Raoul's mind off the conversation they had this afternoon.

Riki's suggestion of him seducing Raoul was impossible. He may not be inexperienced in the sexual act but in no way did he think he had the skills to try and tempt Raoul with seductive powers he did not have and if by some miracle he could turn the Blonde’s head he knew he wouldn't be able to handle the shattering sensations Raoul was able to pull out of him. The two hand jobs he got so far has made him into a weeping mess.

"Katze? Your phone has been ringing." Niko said after knocking on the bathroom door softly.

"Thanks Niko!" Katze wrapped the towel around his waist and rushed out of the bathroom giving a silent apology to Niko for the trail of water he was tracking down the hall from not wiping his body dry. The person calling had to be Alex. He had blown his friend off when he had asked why he was in Eos and he probably was also calling because he had information for him. He had encrypted the information he found in a hand written note and had it delivered to Alex from a trusted old friend here in Eos.

Rushing into his room holding the towel closed with one hand Katze grabbed his phone. He was in such a rush that he failed to notice the towering Blondie that had been standing in the hall, just coming back from the lab, watching his near naked body running pass him or the heat that came to his eyes.


"The new subject is hard to fool. I know what was documented about his kind but to see it myself...""Explain.""There is no getting around him. Some of it might be due to his training in dealing with us but he left me no opportunity to take advantage of his pet stature. He shows no aggression so I can’t use the excuse that he needs to be sedated to take more tests. He watched every move I made and I swear I can see the wheels turning in his brain. The intelligence in those golden eyes of his is remarkable.I will have to go slowly with him, very slowly. If I in any way misstep with him I'm sure he will pick it up immediately.""Do whatever needs to be done. Time is no longer an issue now that we have confirmed who they are.""And the other you were speaking to me about?""Dead end at the moment.""?""The data I have collected proved that nothing was out of the ordinary with him so Jupiter is not interested. But there is something special about him and I will find out.""Without Jupiter's approval...""I have not been denied in looking into his background only that I will not be getting funded for researching him.""Then I hope you find it."
