TW sat his desks in his quarters. His feet were resting on the side desk in between two keyboards. He'd
been hacking into the Cat's lair's mainframe again and was storing the incriminating evidence on various
computers on his little network. He also got a kick of screwing with their phone logs to make it look as if
Kat was calling Chilla long distance on Third Earth and talking all night or putting Typos in Tygra's documents.

Being done with this he surveyed the twenty or so pictures of Lion-O that were taped up on the walls.
After picking a decidedly sickening one he snatched a dart from on top of one of the monitors and tossed it
at the unsightly photo. After flipping a few times the dart landed with a satisfying *thunk* dead center in
the left eye of Lion-O.
"Fucking acupuncture bitch", growled the saber as he picked up the instructions RD had given him earlier
that day. He read over them and tossed the sheet of paper on his desk.
"Demolish Skat's bar", he repeated out loud as he got up and stretched. He laughed at the thought, put his
mace in the loop on his belt and headed out the door.

ThunderWolf Stepped though the swinging doors and looked around the bar. He noticed Tygra passed out in
the corner, drooling on the table. Few others were in the bar. Fianna and two others he didn't recognize.
Finna seemed a bit nervous, and this amused TW.
Walking up to the bar, the insane lion took a seat and waited for Skat to come out. She come out a few
minutes later and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw him.
"H..hi TW", she greeted him some what nervously.
"A pitcher of Guinness", TW grinned. He knew she probably though RD sent him to kick her ass. She set
his beer on the counter and took the twenty he handed her. He enjoyed the tension in the bar as he sipped
his tasty malt beverage.
Finally Skat asked, "RD wants you to kick our asses doesn't he. Tell him he should grow a pair and do the
job him self"

The lion took another sip of beer and waited a very long ten seconds before answering, "yes he wants me to
kick your asses." He took finished the glass and refilled it before continuing, "he also wanted me to
demolish your bar." He took another drink before continuing, "but there are two problems with that."
"And those are", Finna finally asked after a moment of silence.
"First of all I like the bar, it's a fun place to drink", he finished his beer and started drinking out
of the pitcher, "secondly, he didn't pay me enough.
"So your not gonna do anything", asked Skat, somewhat relieved.
"I'm gonna kick your asses", TW pulled out a deck of cards and tossed them on the table. "By the way you
might want to consider flood insurance", he thumbed towards Tygra.

Two hours later TW, Fianna, Skat, Tygra and Skat were all sitting around a table. TW and Fianna both had
decent stacks of chips sitting in front of them. Skat had a small pile, maybe $500 Thunder Dollars worth.
She however, was suppling free beer to TW and Fianna every time one of them won. It worked out nice for her
cause she got off cheap when she lost a hand and they got free beer.
"A twenty dollar chip or a three dollar mug of beer", she thought smugly as she took her chip and set it
back in her pile. She got up to get the each another beer as Fianna grabbed the four remaining chips and
set them on his pile. 
"That's not fair", whined WilyKat.
ThunderWolf popped his claws and flexed them as he examined them, "shut up kid", he growled.
"Aww ok", sulked Kat, "can I get another chip", he asked Tygra.
"I'm flat broke" scowled Tygra. 
"Then you have five seconds to get the fuck out", warned TW.
"What", asked Tygra in shock.
"One", started TW.
"Fine", huffed Tygra.
"Two", continued the lion.
Tygra started to get up.
"Five", ThunderWolf lunged across the table from a reclined position, causing Tygra and Kat to scramble
out of the bar at break neck speed. TW chased them to the door and stopped when they exited the bar.
"Fuckin' pussies", he mocked as he turned around. Fianna was picking up the table and Skat had a look on
her face that was half amused half cross. 
"Sue me" replied the lion as he bent down to pick up his chips.
"I just might", she replied as she retrieved the broom and dust pan to clean up the broken glass.

"Why can't you two ever leave a bar with out destroying part of it", a voice came from the door. The three
turned to see Chanur in the door way.
"Force of habit", chuckled Fianna before TW could sprout off another rude comment.

"I thought I paid you to kick their asses", came another voice. RD stepped through the door. Every one
had to shield their eyes because even the dim lights of the bar reflected off RD's head.
"You did", confirmed TW as he finished picking up his chips, "but you didn't pay me enough".
RD's face turned red as the lion walked out the door and to his hover BMW.

"Wai.. wait for me", squeaked RD as he tried to follow the lion. Skat and Chanur both stepped in front of the
door, cutting off RD's exit. RD looked at each of the grinning cats, then back at Fianna, who was cracking
his knuckles.


The next morning...

TW and Shark were sitting in the newly remodeled kitchen drinking coffee and discussing plans for the
next family reunion. Both looked as the door burst open and RD limped in. His face was a bloody mass of
bruises and cuts. It was obvious that his nose had been broken at least three times and visible skull
fractures were obvious. He was cradling his arm, which was broken, the bone sticking out of the skin.
"Thanks", he managed before passing out on the floor. "Should have given me the pay raise I asked for",
snorted the lion as he finished his coffee. Both he and Shark headed out the door, leaving their mugs on
the table.
