Karen Anne Golden - The Cats That 02 - The Cats that Chased the Storm (13 page)

“Yes,” Katherine said abruptly, hand held on her hip defensively.

“Well,” he shouted. “Now you can have her sister! Just take her!” Then he yelled at the stagehand, “Get the cell phone off the damned stage and return it to the idiot who didn’t turn it off during the performance!” Stomping into his dressing room, Harry slammed the door.

“Jerk,” Katherine yelled after him. Looking inside the carrier at the agitated feline, Katherine said, “Sweet girl. Are you okay?” “Raw,” Abra whined.

Rushing in, the manager began pounding on Harry’s door, “Open up!” he demanded. “The audience is going nuts. They love it! They absolutely love it!”

Jake said hastily, “Let’s get out of here before
that moron realizes Abra stole the show and he wants to keep her.”

Grabbing the cat carrier, the two quickly left with the incredible show cat Abra still whining inside. Rushing to the elevator, they rode up to their floor. Hurrying to Katherine’s room, she slid the key card in the lock and opened the door. Scout was sitting up in bed, stretching to her full length, obviously having just awakened from a nap. “Waugh,” she yawned. Abra yowled a loud “raw” inside the carrier. Scout’s ears
quickly swiveled forward in recognition.

Katherine opened the carrier and Abra launched out. She joined Scout on the bed, then collapsed against her. Scout began licking Abra’s wedge-shaped face with her
delicate pink tongue.

Jake said with eyes wide open, “That’s amazing! They remember each other!”

Katherine wiped a tear from her eye. “Yes, amazing. I feel like my cat family is complete.”

Jake took Katherine’s face in his hands and kissed her on the nose. “Congratulations! Should I bust out a cigar? Oh, by the way, you can’t keep that name. It sounds too much like Abby. What’s it going to be?”

Katherine beamed. “Let’s buy a baby book of names and pick one out
together.
”

Jake grinned ear-to-ear, “Deal!”
