Part 14 : "Night prowl."

"I had just learned the truth about my amulet." It was mystical and Walker wanted it. Now, it was time for me to find out why. But if I was going to do this then I was going to need something to hide my identity.

And since everyone saw me as a Cat, I decided to wear a mask like one. I wore a robbers mask. I just added two points to give it ears. Motorcycle boots. Black boxing gloves. Dark jeans and a black leather coat with a hood.

I was ready to start. Once Aunt Saraya was asleep. I snuck out. By leaping from my window to another rooftop. That part wasn't too hard. It was the next one that would be.

My heart was racing. I was unsure if I should even do this. I walk away from the edge. I crouch down ready to run. Token in a deep breath and said to myself. Become one with the cat. And once I said that.

The claws were out and the eyes of the cat were awakened. I took off run and once I was close enough I leaped across the street to the next building's roof. It was incredible, like something out of "The Matrix." Whoa.

I said. I did it again and again. And the more I did it the more free I had felt. I was racing from rooftop to rooftop. I was ready to own the night.

I was racing for about 10 blocks until I came across one of the men that I was there that night with Walker. Bingo. And look. He is going down a dark alley all alone.

As the men had to walk down the alley he started to hear footsteps following him. He started to get worried so he started to walk faster until he had reached a dead end.

He then quickly turned around ready to fight. But all he saw was. Ha! I can't believe it. I was just a black cat. Ah. Nothing scary about that. This time when he had turned when he heard a voice saying.

What is so scary about a black cat? I was there. I didn't even give him the chance to pull out his gun. I kick him in the stomach. Then toss him all over.

Then clawed his face and slammed him against a wall. Do you have any idea who I am? You the guy who works for that murderer, Walker. Now before anything happens.

You are going to tell me what I want to know. And what I want to know is why did your boss kill that girl's mom and dad? And you think that I would know? I ain't telling you anything.

Then let me ask you this question. What do they say about a black cat? Time to get some Halloween candy? No. Bad luck. And out of nowhere, a flower pot had dropped on his head.

Huh. How did you do that? I can do way more than drop a flower pot on someone's head. Next how about something a bit heavier like say a piano? You are bluffing. Am I?

Okay, okay. What do you want to know? Why did your boss kill that nice couple and what does he want from that girl? The boss wanted the girl's amulet. He was after her.

Killing the kid's parents was an accident. Why does he want it? Because it was stolen from him years ago by some robber. And the reason why he wants it back? I don't know. All I know is that he wants the kid dead because if she testifies against him in court and the boss goes back to jail and his Empire will come to an end.

At least that's what one of the guys we have down the police station told us. The station? We have a cop in our back pocket. Is it the detective who was shot? No. It's not him but it is someone close to him.

But it doesn't matter and why not? Because he's on the list. What list? The boss has already had enough of him and you. I'm guessing that you must be that Catgirl from the fashion show.
Good guys. Now back to that list.

The boss has sent his best Hitman to shut both him and that girl up for good. Who is he? His name is Holler. But all of his victims know him as Ravenstrike. He is a deadly assassin/ Hitman Once he has you on his list is you in a body bag.

And he has two names on it now. That detective George and that Whitmore girl. There is no hope for them now they're as good as dead. And you're next too. Then I think that you need to tell the detective that.

Before he could say anything I took him like some sort of dark phantom. Back at the hospital. The sleeping detective was soon awakened by the sound of window blinds being knocked by the wind.

And as he looked around he saw sitting before him on his bed. Me. And that caused him to be surprised. Sorry. I told him. I didn't mean to frighten you. Let me guess.

You're that cat girl from back at the show. Right? Yes. And my name is not Catgirl. I guess this means Niko City has it's very own superhero now.

Not really. I am more like a temporary one. I am just here to help you solve a case. And that would be? Why does Walker want this Whitmore girl's amulet so badly?

The Whitmore case? Why is that of any concern of yours? Let's just say that feel bad for that poor girl. And now to make things more worse there is a hitman who has been sent after both her and you.

I am new to this hero stuff. But maybe you have heard of him. He's called Ravenstrike. Did you say Ravenstrike? Yes. Who is he? A stop at nothing hitman. He has been hired by the worse of the worse for hit missions.

Everywhere he goes he leaves bodies behind. And he never stops until his target is no longer breathing. He used to be an army man. X military. But the danger of that life is that it can turn an ordinary man into a killing machine.

And that is what he is. This means if Walker is sending his deadliest hitman to do me in then he is done messing around. Then I guess you have a new partner.

Me work with you. Don't worry once I have helped you putting this guy away for good. I am gone. And to show you that I am on your side. I brought you a little gift. We both looked over to the wall where I left the man knocked out.

Don't worry. He's still alive. But he will be out for some time. Thank you for the gift. He said to me being grateful. Well since you did come all this way to warn me and you did bring me a nice gift.

I guess I will have to trust you. But if we are going to be working together then I at least need to know your name. Or what you call yourself. For now. Call me cat. Just for now.

But we will need a place on where to meet at for tomorrow night. We can meet here. They want to hold me here for two more nights. Come back here after visiting hours.

And I will give you some names. You got it. Oh and one more thing. Whenever you can. Please keep an eye on Willow. Don't worry I will.

I leaped out of the window but when George went to go see all he saw was nothing. She's got some moves. Just then the man that I had left for him was waking up.

Well, well. Look who is awake. How did I get here? That is a good question. Here is another one. You are going to tell me everything that you know or else.

Or else what? The detective slowly approached him and said while cracking his knuckles. Or else this.
