Chapter 23

Cassidy wanted to see Precious before they flew back. She tried to get Pam and Tracy to take her, but they had zero interest in seeing their former roommate. She finally talked David into it.

“Brit says Precious is settling in just fine. Why are we doing this?” David asked as they pulled up in front of Brit’s apartment complex.

“I want to make sure.”

“I better not be bleeding when we leave.”

He was such a baby.

They went to the door and rang the bell. Brit’s roommate answered.

“Are you Cassidy?”

“Uh, yeah.”

“Hang on. I’ll be right back,” she said and shut the door in their faces.

“That doesn’t sound good,” David said.

She opened the door and thrust a pet carrier into David’s hands. Precious was in rare form and tried to bite her way out of her container.

“What’s going on?” Cassidy asked.

“Last night, this fucking … cat … attacked my boyfriend. He says he won’t be back until this is out of the house. Either you take her, or I’ll have her put down.”

“Where’s Brit?” Cassidy asked.

“She’s not strong enough to do what must be done, so she let me be in charge of this.”

“Where can we take her to have her put down … What the fuck?!” David complained when Cassidy hit him.

“Let’s go,” she said and began to walk to the car.

David held the carrier away from his body like it was radioactive. She could see the crate rocking as Precious tried to get herself free. He put the pet carrier in the back seat and then got in. Before he started the car to leave, he turned to her.

“Tracy and Pam will not let that beast back into their house.”

Cassidy had to admit that even she was nervous about eventually opening the carrier. It sounded like they’d caught some mythological monster out to ravage the world, and no one would be safe if the pet door was unlatched anytime soon.

“Don’t ask me to put her down,” Cassidy said, tearing up.

“Uncle John and Aunt Bonnie are meeting everyone at Granny’s West for breakfast, and he took Satan’s Spawn. Convince him to take Precious, or I’ll drop her off at the pound. There’s a no-kill one near the airport, and I’ll make a big donation so they take her,” David offered.

Satan’s Spawn was Precious’s kitten, who no one else would take because he was too much like his mom. Hence the name. Uncle John had initially said he was going to rename the cat, but he and Aunt Bonnie decided that it fit the beast too well to change.

Cassidy burst into tears. David just started the car and drove to the restaurant. He must have become desensitized to crying girls because the old David would have crumbled at the sight of her tears.

“You’ll help me talk to John?” Cassidy finally asked between sniffles.

“I’ll help.”

She hadn’t told him that the reason for the visit to see Precious was that Brit had called her. At first, Precious had been doing fine, but then something happened. Brit said she suspected her roommate’s boyfriend had done something.
