Chapter Fourteen

The Collar of Mystery

“Well, the cat escaped. Just a minute or two ago, it broke through the screen in the kitchen window.”

Gertie seemed alarmed. “Maybe we should go look for her. I hope she didn’t get hurt.”

Brad put an arm around Gertie’s waist. “I wouldn’t worry too much. She probably wanted to find her way home, if she has one. She’s definitely in good shape, just like when I rescued her. A healthy cat like that must have someone that has been feeding her.”

“Why didn’t you just return it to the owners of the building that burned?” Gertie asked.

“It was just an old building that had seemingly been used for storage. I checked with the department and it wasn’t clear who the property owner was. Apparently, some business that folded up quite a few years ago.” Brad shrugged his shoulders. “The cat did have a collar on when I found her. A little leather one. And it looked like it was pretty old and worn thin. I’m surprised it didn’t fall off of her.”

To be honest, I wasn’t too worried about the mean cat. It probably was out killing some poor songbirds by now. Gertie, on the other hand, perked right up at this information. “A collar? Was there a nametag of some kind?”

“There was a little metal tag hanging from it. No name though. Just some sort of strange symbol.” Brad looked like he was trying to think of a way to describe it when he suddenly remembered something. “You guys wanna see it? I have it in my truck. Be right back.”

While Brad went outside, I jumped right next to Gertie and pulled her close. I had to know. “So. You looked like you were having a nice time. Tell me! How was that? What else did I miss?” I had a big smile and my questions gave Gertie a rosy blush.

“We came back here quite a while ago. I wanted to check on the cat, and to tell you that we are all getting together at Kelly’s tonight, before Randy and I head back. Next thing I know, Brad and I are on the couch. We kissed. It was just so…passionate. I didn’t know what to do, but I knew exactly what I wanted him to do. I told him to do that thing he told me on the phone. And that’s what was happening when you smacked him over the head.”

“Sorry, I cut that short for you. You okay?”

“I’m fine. Probably it’s for the best. He had been doing that for a close to an hour. And let me tell you, I don’t know how much more I could take before I passed out.”

“An hour? Holy buffet line! Wow, that’s a long time for that! What, he breathes through his ears?” I had Gertie laughing and then I remembered something. “See that little piece of fabric that’s been ripped apart?” I pointed to her panties on the floor. “It looks like your panties didn’t survive the attack.
