“Confusion: The Final Stand.”
A Bosco and Cat tale.
By: Mary Moule
“..Cat...” Bosco said in a
faint whisper, remembering when she walked away from him after what had
happened. He was in the RMP on the job as per usual, being the fascist bigot
cop as always but Faith could tell his mind was elsewhere. Cat had left town
after that, she was in the northern most part of the state with Mac in a small
cabin to try and clear her head. He hand found out from just asking her mother
who was happy to tell him. It seemed that Cat hadn’t told her mother, she was
dealing with it in her own way without help from anyone else.
“You want anything to eat?”
Mac asked at as he was making lunch. “No thanks.” She curled up closer to the
fire with her sketchbook and kept working with the coal drawing she was doing.
“Cat, you haven’t eaten the past two days.” Cat sighed and looked at him,
“Fine. Then just make me a sandwich and some juice.” “That’s better.” Mac
grinned and did as she asked and put the plate and glass on the floor beside
her and went to eat his lunch. She had her hair up in a clip, with her bangs in
her face as she drew. She ate her sandwich in between drawing and drinking and
put the plate and glass in the sink to be cleaned. Mac got up and moved to
clean the dishes and left some money on the counter for her and then went to
clean up and change his clothes. “Have a date?” “Yes, I do. Are you going to be
all right?” “Yeah, I’ll head back into town and get some dinner for myself.”
“That’s my girl.” He chuckled and went back to what he was doing.
“So, what happened exactly?”
Faith looked at Bosco as they were dealing out parking tickets. “She caught me,
with another girl who happens to live in another building a family member of
hers' also lives in.” Faith gave a dry chuckle, “Boy are you screwed.” “She
clocked me Faith.” “What did you expect her to do, Bos? Bend over backwards to
forgive you? No, she’s tougher than she looks.” Faith put a ticket under a
windshield and moved on. “You’re enjoying my pain.” “Only because you brought
it on yourself.” “Funny.” Faith chuckled again.
Cat sighed as she cleaned off
her hands and went to work on something else. Why did she just keep re-drawing
Bosco’s face in every page of her sketchbook? Wasn’t it bad enough she had
caught him but now she had him stuck in her head. Son of a bitch he was for
doing that to her. Shaking her head, she pulled on her boots, grabbed her coat
and purse, stuffing the money into it she left the cabin in her charger and
headed into town to buy herself some dinner and then returned to the cabin.
Curling up on the bed way in the back where her things were. She had called
Breangwen when they had arrived here late Sunday night and hadn’t spoken to
anyone else but Mac since then. She started to fall asleep when she heard
giggles and laughter come through the door. “…Mac…” She groaned a bit and moved
to shut her door. “Hey Cat.” “Hey Yourself.” She eyed her cousin and the busty
brunette next to him. “Don’t be too loud, I’m nearly falling asleep.” She shut
the door in her cousin’s date’s face and locked it. “Ho-Train.” She made a
train sound as she collapsed on the bed and curled in the corner. “What’s her
deal?” The girl asked as they were getting ready to do it. “She’s…had a hard
week. Found out someone she cared about was scheming on her behind her back.”
“Well, that blows.” “Yeah, now he’s paying for it.” The girl giggled and
climbed into bed with Mac.
While back down in
“Cat! Can you come into the
living room please! You have company!” Her mother shouted as she moved back
into the kitchen. “Okay...sheesh. Who could it be? She never yells like that
for…anyone…” Cat paused as she was at the end of the corridor and saw who it
was. Bosco and he was in a tuxedo…she noticed he had flowers and tried to calm
herself from ranting. “Bosco…what are you doing here?” “I need to talk to you.”
“Okay then.” Cat sat down on the couch and he sat beside her. “I’m sorry that I
hurt you and I want to make it up to you and I swear it’ll never happen again…”
He gave her the flowers; her mother poked her head out from the kitchen to
catch this. Cat’s eyes went wide when she watched Bosco get down on one knee
and pull a little black box out of his pocket.
“Bosco…wha-a-a-t are you
doing?” She was in a state of shock, okay? She didn’t think this far ahead I
mean she was ready to drop him! “Catrina Smyth…” He opened the box and looked
at her. “..Will you give me the honor of being my wife?...” Cat opened her
mouth to answer… “Bosco…I…”
