After the washer had done cleaning the clothes and dumped into the dryer, I had long done with the dishes in the sink and the stale air in the apartment had gone back to normal. I opened up the freezer and found the meat was still there and was not totally frozen over since they were placed in the wire mesh basket instead of being in a deep freeze.Nonetheless, I took 6 slices of it and immediately Beast and Spotty perked up as they smelled their favourites. I threw the meat into the microwave and set it to thaw and kill off unwanted bacteria from it.
"Hang on, let the master eat first ok?" I told to Beast and Spotty while I washed my hands at the sink before tearing the package from WAFFLE HOUSE and began to dig into my own portion first.
I had closed the front door and slid the window shut and drawn the curtains once more as I sat in the sofa with the soft light on the side table, casting a shadow of me eating my medium rare pieces as I turned the TV on and set the volume to low.
I reached for my phone using my other free hand and dialled Ripley"s. His voice came over after a few short rings.
"Hiya Ripley, this is the Phantom Shadow... The one that you found those pesky bugs."
"Oh hiya, missus... How are things at your end? Deciding to get a spare bike already?"
"We talk about that later... By the way, do you have the knowledge to work around cameras? Cctv in public places and such?"
"Yeah... I could trace them through a common IP. But for those encrypted ones, it might take a while... Yeah... The answer would be a definite yes."
"You"ve got a printer as well I could use? Hmm... I need to print some shots."
"Yup...i got my old trusty Docuprint here with me. Colour laser with high def print up to 2048 pix per inch."
"That would be great...and what types of bikes do you have at the moment?"
"I"ve got a Black Rebel 300cc and a Red Fury 1300cc V-Twin. You could rent for the month or purchase it off. Rebel costs you $3500 while Fury sets you back at $7500 for purchase prices. I could trade your Phantom Shadow at $500 off the price if you want."
"Rebel sounds alright to me. Bike"s ready to be rolled out anytime?"
"This very instance, missus. How would you like the arrangement like?"
"Could you come and tow it off and also a.s.sist me in sending my freezer up to Oak Grove Cabins? Sigh... It is hard to part with a bike you are used to most of the time. It is like taking a baby from its mother."
"Yeah... I understand how it is. Phantom Shadow got a fairly good engine at 194cc. If it is ridden for more than 5 years, expect its engine block to blow off while you"re still straddling it."
"That"s why they stopped manufacturing the Phantom Shadow in Thailand. Its a great bike in the urban but in a long haul of hard riding like in Georgia, you need something with a little oomph... Get it? "

"Alright, you may swing by with the truck. I"d finished up dinner in 30. See ya soon Rip." and I hung up the phone. But hey, it"s not the right word to hung up on someone... On a smartphone its swiped someone off. Cruel right? Hahahahahaha.
*Ding* the microwave sounded as I had finished talking to Ripley and had also finished my 4 pieces of sirloin. I looked at my hands and were covered with sauce and I had to wipe it off before rinsing it in the sink. $3k for a Rebel 300... Well... Its gonna be REBEL WITH A CAUSE now...!! Hahahahhaa.
Beast and Spotty was antic.i.p.ating the 6 pieces of raw sirloin and felt warm to the touch after being removed from the microwave.
I placed them on 2 plates and on the floor. I made sure no prying eyes were watching me strip down and I was literally lying down naked on the floor and Beast came and Shapeshifted first.
Every time always felt like the first time and my body was slowly covered with a tawny coloured fur. My neck elongated and both my arms and legs snapped back and cracked as it changed into a cougar and lastly a tail which is two-thirds of my body sprouted along the base of my spine and I always termed it as a tail that came out from my b.u.t.t. Hahahahaha.
Paws replaced my hands and nails and I paced the room a bit after I had Shapeshifted and the real me was in the back recesses of the mind. I sat cross-legged in that Realm and patted Spotty"s head while Beast was slowly lapping up her 3 pieces and was purring contently.
I lay down on Spotty"s sides and poked my finger at her spots... "*blip* *blip* *blip*... Hey, Spotty you lose a spot" and Spotty suddenly became anxious and stood up and began licking its fur. "Hahahaha...found it...! As I embraced Spotty and Bury my face deep into its fur around her nape. I liked the smell of cats especially after they had groomed itself.
A distinctive and unique smell would emit from their fur. I can"t describe how it smelled like but I liked very much. Spotty was rolling on the ground with me and I held her and closed my eyes as I lay on its fur and once again "*blip* *blip* *blip*" as I made the sounds with my mouth and walked my fingers on her spots. Hahahahaha. Big cats, more fun than normal ones.
"Ah Meong... Ah Meong..." As I called the big cat and played with its tail as it swished back and forth and whipped on my face as I giggled the same way as I did when I received those cuddly cats from Aunt Milla, the Native American woman that I had met in my dreams 16 years ago.
I scratched on the rump of Spotty"s and she opened up my mouth and twitched her whiskers. It is one of the cats weak spot and when rubbed the right way, it would make them kinda excited. I"m not sure about big male cats though... Jiggle their b.a.l.l.s I think? Hahahahaha.
"Go, it"s your turn, Spotty...Beast get in here and clean those plate first... Hehehehe." I giggled again and Beast Shapeshifted and Spotty took its place and I rubbed Beast as it purred and pawed me playfully.
Beast the Mountain Lion is bigger than a Cheetah which is much slender and sleeker than a Cougar. Both are Predators and Cougar works best at night while Cheetah prefers the day vision. Both had excellent eyesight and sharp noses.
I bent over at Beast and pulled her cheeks playfully and while saying "Bleep bleep bleep" which made Beast a bit uncomfortable. Since she was a bigger cat her "bleep" and "blip" differ from Spotty. Hahahahaha. Why I bother to explain this thing to the readers.
I clamped my legs over to Beast"s head and pulled its ears and twisted it about just like a stuffed toy. Believe it or not, it may look like torture but by looking at the swishing tail, Beast seemed to like the attention. It had been some time since I"ve played with them.
"Both of you need to help me okay? I need to find HaiLoong. I don"t know where to start but I"d start with Ripley first. I can"t be holding a sock or boxers over my nose in public all the time, right? I"m gonna look like as if I have a fetish over mouldy socks and used undies... Hahahahhaha...!! "
"Seriously Beast, use your abilities to find HaiLoong yeah? I miss him laaaa... So does you and Spotty too. We gonna move to a nicer place than this. You would have a longer time to roam in your shape, the both of you. Go wildlife hunting, visit the wild safari and bring back an elk or a fawn or something. Scare some humans and hide in the branches of trees... Hahahahah."
Even as I joked and said these things to Beast, I can"t help a tear to roll down one of my eyes and Beast used her raspy tongue and licked my face...
After Spotty had finish eating, she sat near her plate, just like a cheetah does after catching her Prey. "Time to shift back, girls. I need to trade this Phantom Shadow for a less conspicuous bike. And Ripley is on his way here... And definitely, he won"t want to have a talking cheetah riding shotgun on his tow truck. Hahahahaha."
Spotty stood up and I slowly Shapeshift myself into my human form once again as my cheetah paws disappeared along with the tail and the spots on my fur as it retracted back into my skin. I sat on the floor and wore my clothes and picked the plates to give a good rinse.
I glanced around and was satisfied with its tardiness before I opened up the storeroom and dump everything into my duffel bag. Haisshh... It is really hard being a girl who has to do everything by herself. I thought inwardly to myself and soon, huge headlights flooded into thieving room as Ripley had turned up with his truck and was knocking softly on my apartment"s door.
Time to say goodbye to Dexter Morgan, a forensic technician turned serial killer or serial killer turned forensic technician. Whichever... Since we had never met much after I moved in here.
