(from the short story, “Hands Clean: Afterburner”)
Perry, as he was better known, stood on a grassy hill,
overlooking the expanse of the beach and the churning waves just past sunset.
Warm fur rubbing against his ankles reminded him he wasn’t alone, and he looked
down with a gentle smile. A black cat weaved her away around his legs, purring
loudly and looking up at him expectantly.
“Calling you “Cat” sounds straight ridiculous, but you
refuse to tell me your name.”
The cat meowed and he chuckled. “Fine. Just “Cat”, it is.”
He lifted her into his arms and rubbed noses. “It’s not often I ask animals to
do my dirty work, so I thank you and promise to feed you.” Perry locked eyes
with the cat and spoke softly in her mind. “Do you remember the plan? Are you
ready to strike? When you get to the bar, be sure to give me a visual.”
At her reassuring purr, he put her down and let her run to
her destination. He kept his eyes trained on the huge wood door of the Blue
Rose bar, which stood several yards from his position on the beach hill. Cat
approached the bar’s entrance and sat on the walkway, patiently waiting, as she
licked a paw. Soon enough, the heavy door swung open, and a laughing couple
emerged from the bar. Cat darted inside the dimly lit front area and, within
seconds, gave him the visual he needed.
Perry almost immediately spotted his target, seated at a
table with a large man. She was unchanged, both in face and body, even after a
millennium.
