Cat-Katie-Kitten Ch. 14 - Roundup

Chapter 14- Kitty Rounds The Bases

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 in the fourth game of the National League Championships at 3 o'clock on a Friday afternoon on the Phillies' home field, sweeping the first four games of the best-of-seven series and setting up a fully Los Angeles World Series against the Angels, who had beaten the Toronto Blue Jays 4 games to 2 the day before. The city, understandably, went wild with baseball fever.

All Kitty knew at the time was the boys made her late getting back to work from lunch.

She lay on her back on a pile of two-by-fours and blankets, her head hanging down so Franco could fuck her mouth and throat, playing with her bared tits. Miguel had her legs bent up and spread, once more using the sticky mess of the others as lube as he fucked her asshole. He always went last and always fucked her ass. She'd come to know the feel of his cock slipping into her back hole and knew it to signal the impending end of her weekly visit to Jerry's crew.

She heard cheers and then Franco came in her mouth. She'd barely caught her breath before Jimmy appeared and fed her his hard-on, already coated with her own juices from his earlier turn screwing her pussy. Someone started playing with her well-used slit, grinding around her clit with their rough fingers. She struggled against it, caught in Miguel's strong hands. He started thrusting faster and faster and soon released his own cum inside her.

He'd barely removed his softening cock before Teddy took over, holding her legs bent up against her chest and filling her slit with his short, broad cock for the second time that day. She welcomed him back with an orgasm that grabbed his hard fucking shaft warmly.

By the time Jerry returned to the site with lunch for the crew, most of them had already taken a second turn with her and a few were looking at maybe going back for thirds. She made it back to the lab late, only to find that work had essentially stopped for the day. The afternoon meeting all but assured that the coming game days would see a skeleton staff of volunteers and if they had to simply shut down for the day, so be it.

They watched the first two games at home. At least Savvy and Jerry did. Inviting Cesar, Bonnie, Miguel and his current partner Gregori over, they enjoyed not only the games, but Kitty's naked submission as snack-drink fetcher and free-use girl. She sucked cock, licked pussy and offered her holes for use through both games.

The Angels took the first two games.

The gathered crowd grew enough that Kitty didn't have much time to serve snacks or beers after the fourth inning. She started playing a mental game with herself, struggling to hold off on climaxing as long as possible. During the seventh inning stretch of Game Four, she had her face buried in Savvy's heavenly lap, tonguing her girlfriend blissfully while squatting above Gregori's loins. He fucked up into her pussy while his boyfriend pressed against Kitty's back and drove his cock into her ass. She made all three of them cum for her, then squealed into Savvy's mound when she succumbed.

The Dodgers brought it back with a heroic effort in the ninth inning of Game Four to tie the series at two-all.

Game Five was a late afternoon game and the whole of Jerry's crew arrived to help them move from their house to Andrew's place. They had helped him load the moving pods full of the items he'd be taking back to Vermont three days prior while Kate was at work, trying to catch up on the missed productivity that was crippling the city's economy. She wasn't missing today, game or no game.

Savvy joined her this time, offering herself for 'free use' as a 'thank you' to the strong hands and hard cocks that had torn down their old home and moved them up the hill over the course of the morning. The two girlfriends performed on each other for the crowd as a pregame show, then spent the next several hours holding hands while being fucked with cocks, dildos and strap-ons.

The Dodgers led the Series now, three games to two.

Originally planning to fly East in mid-October when they expected to sign the papers for the house, Andrew arranged to stay in California through Halloween, postponing the sale until that day. Kseniya, now living in her own apartment with several regular sexual partners of her own, made regular visits to the house to continue his yoga therapy and offered herself for the next game day.

Which worked out, because, not only did they have their entire group of 'special friends' attending Game Six, but Andrew invited a few guests of his own to take in the event. At his suggestion, the three women would be touched, fondled, fingered, and provide oral gratification while serving drinks and food, but not be fucked or allowed to cum until after the seventh inning stretch, at which time, they were finally fair game.

Kitty didn't even realize the game had ended until she heard the cheers. She knew Gregori was between her legs, licking the dozen or so loads of cum overflowing her well-used pussy.

She knew his boyfriend's cock was in her mouth, thrusting down her throat every time Emma's man-slave Christopher drove his massive cock into Miguel's ass.

She knew Savvy lay close by, also on her back and still being fucked by... someone, their fingers intertwined.

At the moment, she really didn't give a damn that the Angels had forced a Game Seven with a clutch triple.

The same crowd gathered for the last game, filling the big living room with eager, if temporary, sports fans. In addition to the three women, Emma offered her slave ape-like Christopher up for the group's entertainments, as did Strawberry commanding the elfin-thin Nancy. Miguel volunteered. The same rules applied- touching, teasing, edging providing oral until the final innings.

The game was close at the end of the seventh, but none of the guests took full advantage of the entertainments. Kitty and Nancy snuggled close together, sharing the same hard cock until the owner erupted in Nancy's mouth and the two women shared a gooey kiss.

Kitty looked over to where Savvy lavished loving attention on her husband's hard shaft, knowing it already tasted of Kitty's pussy. Kitty had sucked him off early in the game, and he had been one of the few to use her pussy by the end of the eighth. Now it was the bottom of the ninth, tie score, and she found the lack of attention distracting. No matter who won, she knew the celebration would last for hours and she would need to be carried to bed. That she was even aware of the score was wildly different than the previous games.

She crawled over to her lovers and rose up to lace her fingers into Jerry's hair. She leaned in and nibbled his ear, whispering.

"I want you to fuck me for the cycle," she said, giving the base of his cock a squeeze above the snug cock-ring. She caressed Savvy's cheek, then gave her a quick kiss.

"What?" he asked, tearing his attention away from the game to watch her get down on the floor in front of him, lifting her ass, pressing her face and shoulders down, arching her back. Using her hands, she spread her now tanned cyclist butt cheeks apart and offered herself to him.

Savvy understood, pulling him off the chair by the balls. She took his head in her mouth, slavering it with spit.

She aimed her husband and pulled him into their lover's asshole, the one hole he'd not yet fucked her in. He stuck his fingers in her well-fucked pussy and started stroking them. Pretty soon she felt his finger, all wet from her pussy, rubbing her asshole. She liked the way his finger felt, all lubed up and poking at her hole and liked it even more when he pushed it in a little and started wiggling it around. Her asshole clamped down and it felt like little bolts of electricity were shooting out from his finger into her. It gave her shivers when he started sliding his slick head over her little pucker. When he poked that big, round head into her hole, she felt filled to bursting and he was just getting warmed up. All three of them moaned when his head opened her, easing past the tight yet yielding ring. The beads of his pierced cock slipped inside.

He stayed still while her muscles clenched around his cock and then, when she started to open up, slid another inch in. Her asshole stretching wide around his shaft, making her pussy tingle in a whole new way. Braced on the floor, she took every inch of her lover slowly, letting him fill her in a way they had not yet managed in all the past months.

Savvy reached down around her belly to rub her clit-ring.

Kitty's thighs began to tremble. He probed his way in and after what seemed like forever, was buried up to the hilt, his balls tickling her wet pussy. She groaned, feeling him go all the way in and pressed backward, taking as much of him as she could. Pretty soon she was squirming on his cock, wanting more, and he was ready to give it to her. He slid his rod almost all the way out and then shoved the whole thick thing back in. He started stroking hard then, pulling out and jamming himself back in. It was all she could do to hold on for the ride, squeezing on his fat cock while Katie arched back into him. Jerry grabbed her hips in his strong hands and gently increased his pace, rocking into her over and over again.

She clawed ineffectually at the floor, feeling him fill her over and over and over. The tremble in her thighs crept up until her buns started shaking.

She could feel the steel ring around the base of his cock every time his balls slapped against her pussy. Battered her clit. She whimpered, grinding against him.

She grabbed Savvy's ankle, feeling the belle's fingers fucking her pussy like she'd done to Savvy a hundred times when Jerry's big cock was in HER ass. She pushed her chest up off the floor, pulling Savvy around in front of her.

Pulling her girlfriend close, feeling their breasts crush against one another, she dug her fingers into the messy mass of dark hair. Savvy still worked one hand in her pussy, reaching the other around to grab Jerry's arm. Their lips met hungrily

Suddenly, Katie went very still, a strangled keening of lust pushing out of her throat against Savvy's neck. Jerry responded, driving firmly up into her one more time, grunting with the effort. She came hard, her inner muscles grabbing his shaft and squeezing. A jet of fluid splashed onto the floor between their knees.

His balls tightened against her, a feeling she'd experienced over and over since that first weekend together. Just not in her back door. Another second and he was coming, spraying his load deep into her butt while he pumped. He emptied inside her, filling her asshole with his seed. He kept pumping, letting her tight hole milk him dry, and he didn't stop until she'd squeezed out every last drop.

Her world shrunk down to the three of them, even in the crowd of friends and lovers who had all partaken of her body more than once and whom she would gladly entertain again.

Katie clutched Savannah close.

"I love you," she whispered. "Marry me. Both of you."

The Dodgers won in the tenth inning with a walk-off home run.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rented passenger van pulled up in front of the house for the third and last time that afternoon, letting out another half-dozen or so guests out before Teddy pulled it into the designated parking spot. The guests, most carrying some sort of overnight bag, climbed the stairs to the front door behind Teddy, knocking before being let in after the cheerful and almost mandatory 'trick or treat!'. On the door hung a cheeky store-bought sign declaring 'No Admittance Except On Party Business' with a paper addition of 'And YOU Ain't Invited!' and it clattered against the thick wood when the door shut behind them.

"Welcome ev'ryone!" Savvy declared, sweeping forward in her bright yellow 'Suzi Homemaker' sundress to distribute hugs and kisses. Behind her another score or so of guests in swimsuits, abbreviated Halloween costumes or body paint milled about between the kitchen and backyard pool area.

"Jes' a few rules a'fore Ah let yew all out at play," she told them, waving her gloved hands to keep the last arrivals together for a few moments longer. "Numbah One- Ain't no one leavin' t'night on account'a y'all are gonna be drinkin' and shit. Thas why we drove most'a y'all here from tha meetin' spot. We'll take ya back in tha mornin'... or afternoon, dependin' on when ev'ryone wakes their asses up.

"Two- y'all're adults and choose ta be here, but tha' don't mean ev'ryone wants YEW and yew want ev'ryone. Remember- 'No means No' and Jerry wont have ta beat you with a hammer. And Ah know he's got a special hammer all set aside fer it so... keep tha in mind. There's signs posted ta help yew remember that an' ev'ryone's preferences." She help up her arm and showed them a rubber bracelet with the colors that identified her a pansexual. "Ev'ryone take one and wear it, even if that's all yew end up wearin' later."

Kitty stood nearby, holding a tray of the bands with a few extras on a nearby table. She had been 'dressed' as a cat, though in reality, her entire costume consisted of some body paint, cat-paw mittens and high-heeled booties locked onto her hands and feet, and a long cattail plug firmly lodged inside her asshole. When she walked, the tail flicked back and forth behind her, making the plug move inside her.

Not that she was moving at all at the moment. As part of her 'job' distributing the bracelets and gathering overnight bags, she'd been secured in place by a wicked device Andrew called a 'one-bar prison'. Wearing high heels, she stood on a metal platform that had a simple, spring mounted rod that came up from the floor and ended with a stainless steel dildo that reached deep inside her pussy. The only way to adjust or remove the dildo was to activate a button on the bottom of the rod, which was something not even the amazingly flexible Kseniya could do with the dildo in place. She was, in a word, trapped until someone freed her and the arriving guests made full use of their chance to touch, tease and torment her. The orgy wouldn't start until she was set loose on the crowd.

And she'd been edged since the end of the Series. Multiple times. Every day.

"How yew doin' Katie-Kitty?" Savvy asked, taking the bowl from her and setting it on the table. She took her hand and stood beside her, casting her gaze around the room full of people wearing skimpy costumes, body paint or, in the case of the three woman who came with the DJ 'Faux', electrical tape. Jerry cruised the room, dressed in an abbreviated viking costume and carrying a big hammer.

"I'm okay," Katie assured her, squeezing her girlfriend-wife's hand. They watched the brightly painted Kseniya skipping past with two of her new lovers being led on thin golden chains connected to their genitals. "As fun as being a 'Free Use' girl has been, I can't wait for eight o'clock to roll around so I'm a free agent again. Maybe I'll do it for special occasions but right now there are a few tasty treats I can't wait to pounce on."

"Ay-men sister," Savvy agreed, wiggling her hips excitedly. "The Crew is going to miss yew, ya'know."

"Oh, I'm not going to stop doing *that*. It's the only thing that gets me through those tedious Friday afternoon meetings."

"Lucky bitch." Savvy had only made the long drive to the construction site twice to join her in servicing Jerry's Crew. She was inordinately jealous that her wife-girlfriend was in a position to get properly gang-banged every week.

"Talk to your boss," Katie purred, teasing her lover. "Let her know that you need to suck a dozen cocks once a week or your tits will sag or something."

Savvy gasped in surprise, then delivered a loud, open-handed slap across Katie's bare ass, making the tail-plug twitch and thrash.

"And what are you two conspiring over here about?" Ricki asked, joining them. She wore a nearly-sheer bodysuit under a tight, leather corset outfit cinching in her waist to accentuate her round hips and lift her heavy breasts. Her large purple nipples gleamed with newly acquired gold rings. Around her hips, she wore a strap-on harness with a demonic looking violet Xenomorph dildo standing out from her crotch. There were already several men and women waiting to serve her pleasure when playtime began.

"Ricki! I saw you come in but was too busy to say 'hello' at the time," Katie greeted her, leaning into the hands that cupped and squeezed her breasts. The alien head rubbed her inner thigh.

"I saw," Ricki replied, absently pulling on the trapped woman's tits, making her nipples stand out firmly. "Bonnie and I are going to try double-teaming Marlene a bit later on."

"That'll be fun ta watch. Wha's Bonnie gonna use?"

"Marlene wants the full 'alien-rape' scenario, so she brought two of this thing." Ricki indicated the dildo she wore, stroking it slowly. They looked around and found Marlene wearing her facehugger gag, standing with Bonnie and Candi. "And she wants it really dripping with goo and slime, so we're gonna fuck her out by the hot tub. I think she wants us to finish her off with the Ovie."

"Ah cain't wait." Savvy licked her lips at the mental image of the monster loving girl getting covered in slime and cum while getting pounded and impregnated by vicious aliens. There was at least one 'Predator' who was ready to make an alliance with the xenos to have at the monster lover. "But Ah thought yew wanted to bring yer bitchboy tonight?"

"Ugghh... Bri-Bitch has been more of a needy manwhore than usual lately," Ricki said, throwing up her hands in disgust. "I give him exactly what he says he wants- he's got his cage and his video games and doesn't have to do anything unless I tell him too. He's getting better at eating my pussy and ass, I'll give him that. He didn't want to come when I went to any of the other parties that he *could* have gone to- you know, the ones where Katie here was the star and getting her brains fucked into mush. I tell him everything that happened each time, making him eat my well-fucked pussy like a good bitchboy should, tasting the other men who fucked me that night and all he can do is beg to be made a 'free use' boy his own damn self."

"So why didn't you bring him?" Katie pressed, not that she was eager to see her ex-husband again. Even if they were at an sex-party together didn't mean they had to fuck. "Plenty of folks here that would love to break him in."

"That's the problem," Ricki sighed. "He will suck on my dildos before I peg him like a dartboard and eat another guy's spooge out of me like a champ! But I tell him I want him to come to a party so I can watch him suck real cock and get his ass tapped by a pretty boy, he starts to cry that he's not gay. I mean, 'real tears' cry."

"Shit, that's some serious denial," Katie observed, shaking her head sympathetically while trying not to laugh. "No wonder you like coming alone."

"No shit. At least you guys have no illusions about what magnificent bitches you are."

"Thank yew. About time someone besides us noticed." Savvy waved cheerily to Teddy, dressed in seriously cut-down overalls and a straw farmer's hat, who walked by carrying a half-dozen beer bottles in his big hands. "So whatchu do with him tonight?"

"I had thought about doing a sensory deprivation thing where I plugged up his eyes and ears and left him suspended over the bed for the night with a Lovense in his ass that I'd use your randomizer program on, but that's the sort of thing you want to be able to check up on regularly. So instead I lent him to my friend. She got real depressed after the last guy she dated dumped her for a girl that ended up stabbing him in the leg and put on a lot of weight. Like a LOT of weight. I figure she can have him for a few days a month to abuse like therapy. I told her to do what she liked as long as she doesn't fuck him. He's on edging until New Years Eve, so the cage stays on. She gets knocked up because she can't follow the rules and he's got no self-control, then she can have his ass."

"Sounds like you're kinda getting sick of him honey," Katie observed, feeling a bit more kinship with her ex's Mistress and a pang of sympathy for Brian. She saw Ricki's shoulders sag.

"I really don't want to be though!" She protested. "I still think he's fun to be with even when we aren't having sex. He really gets all worked up when I tie him up and play with his dick- calling him a 'good bitch-boy' and listening to his pretty moans and pleading. I enjoy being on the road with him when we travel. Hell, I even have fun sitting down and playing Fortnite with him. But he's got this one stupid hang-up that he doesn't realize he's already past and I don't know what to do with him."

"Trick'im," Savvy suggested, playing with her hair. "Arrange a party where he's gotta serve a buncha chicks where they're gonna use dildos and he's gotta use his mouth on'em while they bang his ass and when he's good and fuzzy being spit roasted over and over, bring in Miguel and Gregori on the cu-tee and let'em have'im. They're both bi-boys, so maybe they can help'im see past his bullshit. Little bit of 'Consensual Non-Consent' action."

"That sounds a little like 'rape him for his own good', Savvy."

"Ah didn't say it was a plan with no faults, Katie-Kitty. Jes an idear."

"I'll think about it," Ricki said, pinching her lower lip in thought. "I'll go see if I can catch Gregori or Miguel before things kick off and they end up too busy. Catch up with you later bitches!"

"And yew were 'All-In' when Ah basically did jest that ta yew Katie-Kitty." Savvy confronted her girlfriend-wife after the dark-skinned woman disappeared into the crowd of bodies. "Are yew tryin' ta say Ah was wrong?"

"Not at all!" Katie declared, doing her best to turn on the post keeping her in place and face her lover. She sighed heavily, making her breasts bounce. "When we met, I was not only receptive, I knew who I was and what I wanted. I *wanted* to be with another woman so badly it was breaking my heart to go home and having to 'selfie' myself in the shower because he could only concern himself with his 'joysticks' and how *he* felt. You didn't rape me because I was willing to give myself to you the minute I flopped onto your lawn. Even if I didn't realize it myself."

Savvy's hug was warm and loving, even when she slipped her hands down to grab Katie's bare ass. They shared a long, luxurious kiss, with Katie draping her languidly arms over Savvy's shoulders and sinking against her as best she could. She really needed to get off the entrapping prison dildo. She'd been there for hours and desperately wanted something warmer and hornier in her pussy.

"Is it eight yet?"

"Ahlmost. Yew know, tha's somethin' Ah been meanin' ta tell yew," Savvy started, a nice blush blooming on her cheeks and upper chest. "Ah was tryin' ta werk up the nerve ta stop yew jest ridin' by when yew went ass-over-teakettle and practically landed in mah lap."

"You. You, of all people, were... *shy*? Katie responded, disbelieving.

"Scout's Honor." Savvy held up her hand in an approximation of a scout salute that was a lot more like the 'Rocker' she fingered Katie's pussy with.

"You were a scout like I'm a virgin," Katie chided her, kissing her nose.

"Yer a virgin!" Savvy mocked, feigning surprise. "Ah wonder iff'in we can find someONE to help fix that terrible social disease?" She turned back to the crowd they'd been ignoring. Already there were several parties who had drifted together and were dancing close, making out, or feeling each other up as the start time crept closer. She waved at Andrew, who was cutting through the party towards them, a familiar stranger following in his wake.

"Looks like a good crowd tonight ladies," he greeted them, casting a glance over his shoulder at the crowd. They had traveled together to the bank that morning to sign the last of the sale paperwork. The house now officially belonged to Katie, Savvy and Jerry. "Haven't had a party like this here in years. I've already spoken with Gerald and left all the household paperwork on your desk, Savannah, but please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions about the house."

"Yew cain't be leavin' already!?" Savvy protested, grabbing his hand with her free hand. "Tha party ain't even started yet!"

His sad smile and quiet head shake was enough to make tears well up in the eyes of both women. He gathered Savvy into a hug, then released her and stepped up to embrace Katie, knowing quite well she could not move from her prison. When he let her go, he took each of them by the hand.

"I was going to stay for a few hours at least, but signing the papers today felt like... I don't want to say 'the end' because that sounds trite and final. It felt like a clean break. This place is your home now, the three of you. I will always have memories of it."

"And lotsa tittie pictures," Savvy reminded him, wiping at her eyes to rescue her makeup.

"And more than a few videos," he agreed with an encouraging smile. "I think I'd rather my last impressions of being here be the intimate memory of the four of us out at the pool this morning, rather than this delightful costume bacchanal. Plus, I have an early flight out of LAX tomorrow and it would be better, if not preferred, if I were to take the shuttle from the hotel, than to pry myself away from any number of your tantalizing guests in the morning."

"That's got to be the first time I've ever heard you concerned about doing a 'walk of shame'," chuckled the familiar man who had come with him. Under his costume wig, false mustache and bright red Hawaiian shirt, he seemed quite familiar to Katie, but couldn't place him.

"You should have known me when I was poor," Andrew joked back. "Ladies, please let me introduce Marco, he's one of the investigators I have on retainer. He's got something for you Katherine."

"For me?" Katie replied, still trying to place the man.

"Oh, he's got sumthin' for yew alraight," Savvy observed, looking pointedly down at the man's tight shorts and the obvious bulge.

"If it helps," he offered, pulling off the Detroit Tigers ball cap and wig he wore. "We met at the strip club event. Not quite as long as I'd *hoped* to 'meat' you mind you, but enough that I was motivated to take the case for you and Andrew so I could deliver my report in person."

"I recognize you now!" Katie exclaimed, squirming on the pole holding her in place. It was suddenly much slicker. "You were the first guy who bought a lap dance! I was hoping you weren't just a random regular and that I'd run into you again!"

"Which is why I was motivated to take the case. I hoped to be run int... wait, I don't think that's the metaphor I want to go with..."

"What case?" Jerry asked, approaching the group and draping his arm across his wife's shoulders, touching Katie's upper arm. On his left hand, under his gold wedding band, he had a ring tattooed on his finger that matched the ones on his two lovers' hands.

"Andrew hired me to find out who knocked Katie off the road and drove off." Marco said, turning the cap and wig around in his hands. "And I did. Or, at least, I have a pretty solid suspect."

"What!?!" all three of them exclaimed, causing nearby heads to turn. Katie felt flush and her knees wobbled weakly. Immediately Andrew and Savvy grabbed her arms lest her legs give out and her prison do damage. Both Marco and Jerry started for the release at her feet, but she waved them off.

"How?" she asked instead.

"It wasn't easy since where it happened had no traffic cameras and you said there were no witnesses. I went back to the area and started canvasing all the businesses and homes that had external-facing cameras. I was able to get the footage from the two places that keep their records past the usual 90 days and one really weird dude whose place is probably on several law enforcement watch lists for as much security surveillance gear as he's got. I mean, this guy could give the CIA a run for their money. Anyway, he's got servers full of recordings going back to 2000 and was happy to share them with me. He remembered you by the way. Said he misses watching you ride by because you've 'got a nice tushy'."

"See!" Savvy crowed, squeezing Katie's bare bottom. "Told yew."

"The rest of her isn't bad either," Jerry added to the agreeing nods of the other men.

"Anyway, after independent verification of said tushy footage, I found a few vehicles that matched the general description you gave the cops at the time. I ran the plates and got my best guess for an answer."

"Why only a guess?" Katie asked, still leaning on Andrew's arm, not trusting her own legs quite yet.

"Lack of evidence in relation to your case," the private investigator admitted, shrugging. He counted off the reasons on his fingers. "Again, there are no witnesses, no footage of the incident and, since he didn't actually HIT you, there's no way to tie you and he together physically. The best we could legally do is call him a douche bag to his face and we wouldn't be wrong, even if he's not the actual guy."

"So there's nothing more that can be done?" Andrew prompted. "There's no way to prove he's the one that ran Katherine off the road?"

"Not without a time machine so we could go back and witness it."

"So why is this guy your 'best guess' then?" Jerry growled, his face getting dark the way it had the day he put Brian through the wall at the older old house. He was looking to hit someone for hurting his lover and by the look of it a 'best guess' would do.

"Because he's a certified asshole," Marco stated, surreptitiously taking a half-step away from Jerry and his hammer. Even if it *was* foam, he'd be willing to bet the big man could still swing it with force. "The guy I THINK is responsible is already in jail. About a week or two after he (possibly) nearly took you out, he pulled a knife on a waitress in a fucking Olive Garden of all places. Over breadsticks. Got busted on Criminal Threatening, Drunk and Disorderly, Resisting Arrest then Assaulting an Officer when he slugged the booking officer before she tazed him. Had enough of a record to earn a nice 7-10 as a ward of the state in the Cali State Pen. His truck... THE truck will come up for sale at the next police auction if you're interested."

"No," Katie said at the same time Jerry threw in his own "Maybe."

"We'll let you three argue that out," Andrew placated, patting Katie's arm before giving her another hug.

"Why?" she asked him, reluctant to let the old man go.

"Because you needed to know so you could move on." He whispered in her ear, putting his hand on her bare belly, covering up the little jeweled baby foot hanging from her navel. "In another world? Maybe something goes vastly different. In this one- 'breathe in, breathe out and move on'."

"That sounds very wise."

"Jimmy Buffett was a wise man in his own way." He kissed her one more time before handing her over to Savvy who he also kissed goodbye. "See me out Gerald? Oh, and before I forget Katherine, today I finished writing you a personal grant so you can pursue your Masters' Degree without having to worry about the cost. Ladies..."

"If you don't mind, I'm going to get another beer and head out to the pool area." Marco excused himself while Jerry walked Andrew down the stairs to the front door. "I understand someone's gonna get fucked by aliens and I kinda want to get a good vantage point for that show."

"Holy shit." Katie said at last, trying to process everything she'd heard so far tonight.

"Holy shit indeed hunny." Savvy agreed. "Whut now?"

"Savvy?" She glanced up at the clock. It was eight o'clock.

"Yeah?"

"Get me off of this thing because I have a powerful urge to go fuck the brains out of a certain detective."
