For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
But Katharina and the cats were ready, they knew what was going to happen, a guy would be in there hooking up a gas canister to knock everyone out so we could be taken prisoner to Gisela’s secret hideaway. Katharina went to the door of the closet and threw it open. The guy was totally surprised! Kat shot him with the dart gun and he fell to the floor. “I like this gun,” said Kat, “it really is very silent.” Meow.=Yep, just can’t be too far away when shooting. They tied some wire around the door that led to the other room, with an explosive attached, so if anyone else tries to get in that way that will stop them. There are still 4 more men and Gisela to deal with.
Kat sits down next to the bed and holds my hand again, Muffin is lying beside me purring loudly. Mr. Cat is sitting with Kat. Meow.=Maybe you come back with us. “After this is over M.C., I will surrender to Steve and he can hand me over to the police,” she said, “then it will be prison for a very long time.” Meow.=But you help us now, maybe they not send you to prison place. “Somehow I don’t think that will make a difference,” said Kat, “but I am glad to make a difference for all of you anyway. Hopefully I can help keep Steve alive so he can make it back to Lena in good health.”
Meow.=Well, I know you change now, so I hope you not go to prison place. Kat smiled at him and gave him a big hug. “Should be just about time now guys,” said Kat. Muffin and M.C. went to the back door and waited. The door opened slowly and quietly and…”Thwock!” “Thwock!”, down he went to the floor with a thud. He was a big man so both cats shot him just to make sure. Then Kat dragged him outside and shut the door, putting wire and an explosive on it too. Kat came back and sat beside me, holding my hand again. After about 20 minutes I moved a bit and opened my eyes.
I looked around and saw Katharina sitting next to me. She smiled and said, “welcome back Steve, how do you feel?” “I, I’m a bit confused,” I said slowly. The cats had been away and came running and jumping back onto the bed, both meowing constantly. “Hey, slow down you two,” said Kat, “give Steve a chance.” Meow,meow!=It okay, Kat on our side now, she helping us fight bad Gisela! Meow.=Yep, that right, Kat change, like new again. I look over at Katharina. “What brought about this change?”, I asked her. “I never wanted to kill you Steve, or Lena, I only wanted to hurt you because you sent my parents to prison which made me totally angry with you.
But they deserve to be there, and so do I. So after this is over I will surrender to you and you can hand me over to the police. I know there’s a big reward out for me which you would get. I know what you’re thinking. I was your enemy, now I’m your guardian angel. Strange things happen Steve.” “So I see,” I said quietly, “come here you two cats.” I could barely move enough to hug them, but I did it. “Is Gisela still here?”, I ask. “Yes Steve, and with 3 men, we got the others,” said Kat, “she has been here all along and doing all the extra things that we each thought was the other, but it was her. It was her man that shot Lena.” “Hand me my gun,” I say to Katharina, “I may not be able to do much yet, but I can help protect myself so the rest of you can fight Gisela.”
“Okay, if that’s all you’re going to do,” said Kat with a smile, “and you can call me Kat too, I already told that to the cats.” “Sounds good,” I said, “now, you need to go on the offensive and attack her, all 3 of you, and make sure she doesn’t get away again.” They all looked at me. “Hey, if we want to survive here, that’s the best way to do it,” I said, “that is something she won’t be expecting.” “Hmm, good thought,” said Kat. So they all got ready and went out the back door and went around to the kitchen door. No one was in sight and the door wasn’t locked. In they went quietly. Kat shut the door and turned around, Gisela had just come back into the kitchen. They both pointed their guns and shot at the same time…

Perhaps, but only after they find out. But where would they go? There must be a boat waiting to pick them up, but once they know Gisela is dead, they will likely leave without those other 3.

Perhaps Kat’s feelings haven’t really changed so much, or perhaps she’s looking for some leniency in court. Yes, she has my dart gun, nice and silent, I have my real gun. And the cats are fully ready for anything.π³π€πΎπΎπ©π΅οΈββοΈ
