commotion. Vanessa plunged towards her from a crouched position and pushed Sabrina
over the crumpled carpet. Sabrina lost her footing and stumbled. The revolver flung
from her hands and landed in the corner of the living room.
Vanessa darted towards the revolver.
Sabrina grabbed her ankle, tripping Vanessa and caused her to fall to the floor.
Henry pounced on Sabrina’s chest. His claws dug into her skin.
“Get off of me!” Sabrina yelled as
Henry jumped away. Vanessa kicked free of Sabrina’s grasp and made it to the
revolver.
Vanessa swung around and pointed the
barrel at Sabrina. “Pete! It’s safe now. I have the gun.”
Pete held his revolver at Sabrina.
“Don’t move.”
Vanessa hand’s shook violently. “I have
it from here, Vanessa. Put the revolver down. It’s over.”
Vanessa laid the revolver down on the
console table.
Pete smiled as he handcuffed Sabrina. “I
guess I was worried for nothing. You were able to take care of yourself.”
“The cats are the real heroes,” Vanessa
replied. “I don’t know what I would do without them.”
Chapter 12
Vanessa looked out from the porch admiring
the sanctuary in the early dawn. There was still a mist hovering in the air.
Flossy was hopping through the grass chasing after a brave squirrel. Vanessa
took a long sip of tea. She looked over at Henry who was perched on the top
rail of the porch.
Henry’s attention was focused on a tree
where a sparrow hopped from branch to branch.
“Downtown never offered as much
excitement, don’t you think, Henry?” Vanessa remarked. “I like it here at the sanctuary.”
Henry turned to her with his glossy
green eyes.
“Yes, Henry, when there are not bullets
flying through the air.”
Vanessa turned and looked at what
remained of her front door. The door could be replaced. Fortunately, none of
her cats had caught a stray bullet.
A worn, Toyota Corolla veered into her
driveway. Teddy greeted Pete as he stepped out of the car.
“The foundation is shut down,” Pete
called out.
Vanessa forced a smile. “I’m glad
Andrea came to her senses and testified. The foundation had a respectable beginning,
but it soured because of greed.”
Pete climbed the porch steps. “Even
Frank blamed himself for Jerry’s murder. I think the revelation of Sabrina’s
crime shocked him to the core.”
Vanessa handed Pete a cup of black
coffee.
Pete smiled. “You remembered, I take it
black.”
Henry balanced himself on the rail as
he made his way toward Pete. Henry made a soft meow.
“Steve, on the other hand, was asking
what was going to happen to his BMW.”
Vanessa grinned. “He was always
particular about his BMW.”
“Vanessa, you should really join the
police force. With the help of your cats, you would make quite the detective,”
Pete suggested.
Vanessa sighed. “I think I have had
enough excitement for awhile.”
Pete scratched Henry behind the ears.
“When do you have a night free for
dinner? I have a roasted chicken recipe that will make you forget all about the
frozen dinners you heat up,” Vanessa teased.
Pete looked over at Vanessa. “I think
it’s my turn to make you dinner. I promise you it won’t involve a microwave.”
Vanessa smiled and took a long sip of
her tea.
The End.
