Mac's eyebrows rose in reply. "No," he said. "She'd dragged herself away cryin' a while before."

He watched her and could feel his stomach clench slightly. He rolled a shoulder. Like hell would he ever admit it was because every time he saw a cat do something like that all he could see was his damn father doing the same thing to his wife, or to 'Straps or Tugger. Something still kept from him going after his father but these other cats... "It's not even the fact I killed them, is it?" he asked after a moment. "It's the way."

"Fine. So they had some identification." She ground out. Looking away for a long moment she gathered herself and took a deep breath. "So I don't know yet."

"Well, when you figure it out," he said, standing and grabbing his coat before stuffing out his third cigarette. "Just let me know. It's not like I'm hard ta find."

She sighed, straightening. "Yeah. Will do."
