Episode 327: ROOKIE MISTAKE

Officer Catalina Juarez was tired, soiled, and stressed. All day long shit kept happening that either made her pissed off, worried for her career and her friends, or maybe even her life. As a Nashville cop under the employ of a shadow organization called Watchtower, she had to follow orders from higher up the food chain or run into all sorts of problems. Protected by Watchtower yes, but even they lapsed in judgment when it came to police officers who had worked for them far longer and who were totally invested in their corrupt bullshit. Catalina liked money and mischief herself but when it was used against her it was not going over near as well.

Off duty she made her way home to Lucius-Bodie apartments before the rain could drown her sorrows. On her way in she ran into her property manager the drop-dead gorgeous Lauren Bell. No way was Catalina going to miss out on Lauren wearing so little on the basketball court. Lauren was out there to spar with newly hired Horton-Dexter basketball coach Tony Gunther. Although a hunk of a man, he did not faze Cat nearly as much as Lauren and Tony’s roommate the oddly adorable Amber Hawthorne. Catalina was a lesbian so, as hot as Tony was, she liked her tatas even more.

Keeping a distance from all of them sucked, she wanted to be all up Lauren’s twat. Unfortunately, her partner from POPO a douchebag named Anson Potter pissed all over her uniform while making her cop a squat at Pitstop Park. He refused to take her anywhere to use a bathroom and made his authority known. Seniority rules! All afternoon long she wore that fucker’s urinary taint and hated him for it. Even worse he made her join him and fellow Officer Lonnie Coltrane at the strip club christened Cashanova. Lap dances with hot chicks would have been right up her inner alley if she didn’t reek. She wanted to beat the holy hell out of Potter but knew the blowback.

Not only did she suffer at his hand but her best friend from college, the once shy Mimi Alexander, was completely humiliated and sexually abused by Potter. There was no saving Mimi when she made it perfectly clear she wanted to be used by him. Cat called it brainwashing but that was the furthest from the truth, Mimi loved being a sex slave to an informal master. That part bothered Cat all day long. Master Potter was not worthy to possess the mouse. Cat was trying to process it all, but it was not easy. Mimi needed rescued, somehow!

“Maybe this Darkhorse guy can help me save Memes. I love my bitch too much to see her suffer over Potter’s bullshit. If it wouldn’t get me roughed up, I would tell that fucker’s wife and let her castrate him. If I did that would be a fatal mistake. Who knows what might happen to me if I sink that low.” She entered her building and stared down the hall at the interior mailbox wall. Something from Darkhorse was waiting for her there but she almost dreaded what it might be.

Swallowing dryly, she went to her apartment on the second floor first and stepped inside. Her cat Jailbait waited on her faithfully rubbing along her pant leg until it smelled her urinary fabric softener. Off it ran! “Thanks! Love you too, JB!” Why she had a male cat was a mystery. A pussy should be female, right?

Stripping out of her uniform she ditched it in a clothes basket in her closet and opted to take a hot shower to relax her nerves. Ten minutes of wasting soap to cleanse herself of Potter she ceased fire and dried off. Her cell on the bathroom sink playing music stopped mid- Billy Elish and rang. “God! Who is calling me now?” Looking at the caller she peaked her brows and quickly answered it. “Mimi? Are you okay?”

“Answer your door I’ve been knocking for five minutes. Your neighbor Chad is at his door licking his lips. Should I go say hello?”

“What? NO! Hang on, I’ll be right there.” She wrapped her body in her less than large towel and raced through her apartment nearly tripping over Jailbait in the process. “Get out of the way if you don’t want your tail stepped on.” Door opened swiftly there stood Mimi Alexander in all of her glory, still wearing her cat ear tiara and her cat tail butt plug.

“Are you talking to me or Jailbait?” She pivoted in step to wag her tail at Catalina. Chad quickly went back into his apartment but definitely liked the new pet.

“Why are you still naked? Get in here before the neighbors see you.” Cat snatched up her tail and made her tiptoe backwards into her apartment. Closing the door Cat dropped her towel and yanked Mimi into her arms to hug her tightly. “I am so sorry you had to endure all of Potter’s shit today.” Breasts crushing breasts Mimi simply purred over Cat’s wet mane.

“I need to borrow some clothes. My mom cannot see me come home naked. I ... didn’t want to confront LeAnne like this. She would want to go bitch Sir Potter out.” Her cellphone in her car no one from Watchtower could hear her. Trouble was Catalina had her phone in her hand. That made things easy enough for Watchtower hackers to eavesdrop.

Releasing their embrace Catalina offered a droll pout at her old classmate. “Of course, you can. I’m more your size than Lele! Come with me.” She plucked her towel up from the floor and led Mimi into her bedroom, immediately she fantasized about a catfight in her bed. She had to shake that image off fast.

Rethinking things Cat looked at her cellphone and paused Mimi with an index finger to her lips. Leaving Mimi, she went to her French doors and stood watching Tony Gunther and Lauren Bell playing basketball. Taking a long-distance picture, she saved it then set her cell on a tiny table with a plant on it. Glancing to her right she jumped over seeing her neighbor Chad across the hall also watching Lauren. Noting Catalina topless he smirked but waved her on as if it’s cool and looked away. “Crap!”

Re-entering she closed her French door and went back to Mimi. “There! Now we can talk without being listened in on.” She made Mimi sit on her bed beside her. “Are you really, okay? I’m sorry I couldn’t interfere; Potter made my life hell all day as it was.”

“I am just fine. Very happy actually.” Better now that Sir Carl had invited her for dinner next Wednesday.

“I don’t understand how.” Cat frowned heavily! “Potter pissed all over me today.”

“Marking his territory?” Mimi smiled brightly then forced a hug upon her college chum. “You can be my sister.”

“I’m already consider myself your sister, Memes. Maybe not in blood but you know I love you. And NO! NO FUCKING WAY! Potter will NEVER own me. That bastard is going to push me too far and I’m going to snap on his ass.” That settled Mimi down. She completely understood. “You know I’m only into women.”

“You slept with boys in college.”

“Don’t remind me! Drunken lapse in judgment and you know it. Okay, occasionally a real dick is needed but it’s 10 to 1. Ugggh! I’ve relived the past too much today.” She wavered, not wanting to bring up the fire she started on campus that she managed to escape conviction for. How this Darkhorse guy knew had her scared. She was never once even questioned over her whereabouts that night. If she had been, the chances of her being a cop today would likely not have been an option. No! It was better Mimi did not know of her stupidity. No one could know! Which terrified her beyond belief. Darkhorse knew, he had her by the hair at this point with nobody to turn to. If he wanted to destroy her life it would be just that simple.

She needed to get to her mailbox and find out what he left her. However, Mimi was more important right this minute. Always! “Can we just change the subject? You could just stay the night with me. We don’t have to rub twats, Memes!”

“Thank you for the offer. I love you too. I can’t! I need to get home to mom and help with the cats. I just need a dress or something so that mom doesn’t question me.”

“Liz is going to find out eventually. What if Potter ordered you to undress in front of her and walk out the door naked like today? Or make you go home in that tail and wearing cuffs. You need to live on your own Memes. I have a spare bedroom here just share my space. No strings attached! You don’t even need to pay half the rent. As long as I know you’re safe.”

“I would like to move out but I ... can’t leave my mom alone. A wheelchair hampers her life.”

“Use what you would pay me if I charged you to get her a caregiver. You can even bring Jailbait’s sister Fluffy with you and reunite them.” Smiles shared Mimi actually considered it.

“May I think about it over the weekend?”

“I am ALWAYS here for you. I swear I will do everything in my power to keep you safe.”

“That is where I struggle, Cat. I like being Sir Potter’s slave.”

“Mimi! I had to drive Potter home after work. He was too drunk to stand up. His wife tried to ask me questions, but I couldn’t even tell her the situation without getting in over my head. I sat at fucking Club Cashanova watching strippers for two hours while he blew money on skanks and drowned himself in tequila. Oh, by the way! Your boss was there.”

“Sir Carl?”

“Yes! He and his son. Potter and Carl had words over you. It took Officer Coltrane to break up the conversation before it got too bad. My friend Chiquita works there too. Do you remember Chacha? She was in school when we were, but she quit. Chacha bartends there now. She was the only good thing about today.”

“Vaguely! Did you sleep with her?”

“You know I did.” Cat smirked! “She’s not a lesbian but we rubbed rugs twice back then. She’s in one of those stupid ass polyamory relationships. Her man is a firefighter, her girl is a nurse at a cancer ward. Anyway, it was good catching up with her. She overheard a bit of conversation about Carl. Putting it all together I think he trained black ops units in the Army. Matter of fact one of the dancers there was in boot camp under Carl Manley years ago. Small world!”

“No wonder Sir Carl exudes such strength. I might end up serving him if Sir Potter is forced to let me go.”

“At least I’d know you would be safe. The owner of the club Flossy speaks very highly of Carl. Her late husband served with him, I guess. Like I said, small world after all.”

“Intriguing, isn’t it?”

“Yep! Things get crazier by the day in Nashville. While it crosses my mind you should probably warn that Fowler guy that Potter wants revenge. All the way home he was spitting out how he was going to make that pissant pay for getting in his way. Between Fowler and Carl Manley, he was ranting and raving like a lunatic. I’ll keep my eyes and ears open for you but give Fowler at least a head’s up to steer as far away from Potter as possible.”

“Sir Carl will protect Kevin. I have faith in my second master.”

“Second? You are freaking brainwashed, aren’t you?”

“No! I just know what turns me on. I love being ordered to do things or face punishment.” It was obvious to Mimi that Catalina had no idea that Anson intended to punish Mimi for her disrespect at McRonalds recently. She could not wait until Saturday to see what his power play might be. The excitement had her cunt trickling even as she sat with Cat, both being nude at the moment could easily ignite something. If not for the concern of her mother, she might have jumped in paws first. The roommate idea did have its upsides. No rent she could indeed hire a caregiver for at least the short term. “Clothing?” Time to face reality!

“Sure! Come on let’s see what I can sacrifice.” With a pat to Mimi’s hand Catalina stood up and wiggled to her walk-in closet which happened to be in the spare bedroom she offered Mimi. That part would suck losing the space. Cat liked clothes, lots and lots of clothes. Jailbait at their feet watched the ladies sift through dresses until Mimi selected one that was short but not too revealing. Taking it from the hanger Mimi tried it on and looked into the closet door mirror to form an opinion. “Looks good on you. I want that back.” Seeing the cat tail dangling under the skirt Catalina rolled her eyes then lifted the dress and grabbed the tail, yanking it out without mercy. Painful departure Mimi yelped then rubbed her tushy. “Allow me!”

Cat delicately caressed Mimi’s bare bottom. “You know as well as I that if I hadn’t removed that tail, you would have walked right into your mom’s home and not thought anything about it. Now let’s do something about those ink whiskers. Chances are it might be a few days before those wear off and fade. Doubling up on your rouge is all that is going to save you. Liz is going to freak seeing those.” She even took the cat ear tiara from her. “These stay here. I’m not trusting you to leave them off.” They giggled and bumped shoulders.

“Cat?”

“Yeah?”

“If I do move in ... can my room be this closet?”

“What? It’s like 8x8 square.”

“I like the confinement of its size.”

“You are so weird! Whatever! I’ll figure out the clothes. Maybe I can buy a used spindle from some store and move them out here into the room. So, you’re thinking about it? Seeing the advantages?”

“Yes! I will let you know by Monday.”

“Perfect! You know ... I’m kind of shocked that you and LeAnne aren’t roomies. You two have always gotten along.”

“She’s cheap! Living at home gives her money. She doesn’t make that much working on a food truck.”

“True! Why hasn’t she put her degree to use? Like you she has a teaching degree in art.”

“She knows what goes on in the schools. That scares her too much. Are you and she still going on a date?”

“Far as I know. No cancels as of yet. I hope so.” Not if Officer Lois Simpson had anything to say about it. Fucking fellow cops!

“Lelo and Bitch!” Mimi snickered! “Just kidding!”

“I can live with that. Stitch in time Babe!”

“I need to get home. Thank you for everything Cat.” She reclaimed her cat tail and tiara regardless of Catalina’s insistence she leave it. “I’ll fix my makeup at home. It’s easier to explain the Sharpie whiskers to mom than the butt plug and walking in naked. I’ll deal with Kevin; I don’t want him hurt or punished for defending my honor.”

“Okay!” Cat pointed directly at her nose, “I have your back.” She then kissed said nose and hugged Mimi extremely tight. “Y’know! I can be bossy when I want to be. Ever think of having a Trix? I can work on my bullwhip cracking. I did grow up on a cattle farm, so I do know how to wail a nine tail.”

“That might be fun. I will let you know.”

“Roomies no matter your answer. I am forever here for you, Memes.”

“I know!” Released, Catalina grabbed a white button-down shirt from her closet, putting it on as she walked Mimi to the front door.

“I need to check my mail, so I’ll walk you down.” Door left ajar the two of them headed downstairs. Perfect timing, Tony Gunther and Amber Hawthorne came inside to head upstairs, Tony’s dog in a hurry to eat. Seeing Mimi holding her cat tail Cora lunged after it, changing her mind and wanting to play tug of war. Mimi tensed up thinking Cora was attacking her until Tony stepped in to grab Cora’s collar.

“Sorry! Cora Belle is just feisty she’s too cooped up.” Tony grinned at shy Mimi. Once he realized the tail was a butt plug, he chuckled over it and rubbed the back of his neck. Using a friendly face in Catalina he changed his tune. “Hey again! Catalina, right?”

“Yep! This is my bestie, Mimi Alexander. Wait a second!” Cat pelted her forehead, “I just realized something. Memes? This is Horton-Dexter’s new basketball coach. Mimi here teaches art there.”

“Really!” He puckered! “Small world!”

“I’ve been saying that since she arrived. Do me a favor Big Guy ... I need you to keep an eye out for me and make sure Mimi is safe.”

“I do not need protecting.” Mimi frowned! “Is this your girlfriend?” Mimi waved at Amber. Eyes wide Amber blushed heavily.

“No! I am just his roommate.”

“Oh! I might be Cat’s roommate. I’m considering it.”

“Nice!” Tony nodded! “If you decide to move in maybe we could carpool to school and save a few gas fumes.”

“Maybe!” Mimi flirted with her eyes. Just as Tony started to babble further a voice on the staircase interrupted them.

“Look out coming through! Contact buzz, I need pepperoni.” Charging down the steps came Tessa Harper holding cash in her hand. Behind them at the exit door it opened, and a beautiful Latina entered holding two piping hot pizzas. Catalina instantly recognized the girl even as Tessa dominated her attention in paying the delivery girl.

“Hey Maria! Long time, no see.”

“Hey, Cuz!” Maria took Tessa’s money and let the blonde steal her dinner. “Francesca was just asking about you. You should stop by the trailer park sometime and see Diego. That boy is getting big.”

“I bet! I’ll see what I can do. My schedule is pretty tight being POPO.”

“Can I borrow a pair of handcuffs?”

“Nope! Not unless I arrest you.” Tessa was teasing Tony waving pizza under his nose. Cora was sitting pretty waiting for a slice. Tempted Tony did steal a slice of pepperoni, ate half then fed Cora the rest. Amber suddenly felt totally left out until Tony stole a second slice and fed his roomie another half of a slice. Raincheck until later when Tony would run into Tessa outdoors.
