(Ouch! She jumped off a roof! Kate! Jumping off a roof would kill her! :'( )

Jackie, for all of her calm she had had moments ago, was now seething in rage. Her claws unsheathing unconsciously as she listened to this utter filth dare to claim another as his own. Her fury only increased when he looked at her, his stare violating all on it's own. She hated how he made Katana feel like she needed to put herself between her and him, not only because it put her closer to the stupid mutt, but because she couldn't reach him to slice his ugly mug open with her claws.

"Katana, step back please. You don't have to protect me," her voice bit out angrily, cold and unwavering with false calm.

Her haunches were tense, squared and even while she held her head high with her pinched nose to the air as if he stunk to the high heavens. She looked at him as if he were feces on the street that she'd accidentally stepped in. Her tail twitched erratically, indicating her irritation. The fur all over her body stood on end, making her already large figure -for a cat- all that much bigger.

"You have three seconds to apologize, turn around and leave. You will not like me should you take any longer," her words like daggers, freezing and direct in her anger.

(lol I was thinking of a short roof XD)

Katana Glanced up at Jackie. Delta Laughed " Go Home ****** Cat It will take more than just you to to stop me" Katanas Ears perked up " He's Right Jackie! we do need help. go get the others I can hold him off for a while until you get back" she smiled and nodded as if to thank her for standing up for her.

Jackie only smirked, "I ain't goin' nowhere! I don't have to! Ya seem ta be forgettin' tha' ev'ryone's out and about today!"

And with that, Jackie, still up on the roof, turned and yowled loudly. The sound was ear-splitting, catching even the attention of humans nearby. It didn't form any words whatsoever, but instead conveyed an angry urgent tone. Echoes bounced off the buildings, spreading the sound even further.

"Well, fleabag, ya better git movin', or yer gonna be carrion soon!" she laughed, knowing just how screwed he'd be if he didn't start running.

It wasn't the first time the Chinatown Tags had dealt with intruders before, and Samson certainly wasn't the most forgiving fox in the world. He may broadcast himself as laidback and a pushover, but that was as far from the truth as possible. He'd bloodied his muzzle plenty of times in the name of protecting his family. That included Katana now, so he'd take his time getting his licks in.

Delta glared at the feline and smirked at Katana Before tossing her the Bag " I'll Be back Sweet heart, Take care of PipSqueak for me " he said before padding off silently. Katana flattened her ears thinking as she watched him walk away so calm. Thomas crawled out of the bag rubbing his head " Hey Blue Lights.... you may want to tell your friends to keep their guard up Delta is desperate.." Katana looks down at him " Yeah..."

Not even a minute after Delta fled, several members of the Chinatown Tags arrived at the opposite end of the alley he'd left from. One of which was Sam. Jackie jumped down the emergency ladders to speak with him.

"Jackie, we heard your distress call. Katana, what happened here? Why call back-up?" his haunches were strung tightened than guitar strings.

Jackie, now in the presence of family, let her fur fall flat, though she kept her guard up.

"We ran into an old aquaintence of Katana's. He seems to have a one-sided fancy for her that he just won't drop," she growled lowly, remembering the way the mutt had spoken to their new friend.

Sam hummed, a scowl adorning his face, "Is that right? And how long has he been bothering you, Katana?"

She looked at her paws and sighed " A long time..." Thomas looked at her face and completely understood leaping up onto katanas shoulder he spoke to Sam " Might be best not to push that in pulic... Delta can be a bit harsh... and extremely pushy with the females..." He explained. Katana did not lift her head or make eye contact.

Jackie snorted, huffing angrily, "That one's obvious. I'm not even the same species, yet he still hit on me! Maybe not to my face, but definitely to Katana's!"

Sam's frown only grew harsher, "Let's get home, we can discuss everything in my den on the train."

He then turned to the multiple animals that had arrived with him, "I want patrol rotation increased, circle the perimeter of the lot and the back entrance to the station. Nothing gets in or out without someone else knowing. Spread the word. Go!"

Thomas jumped back into the bag as the group tracked back to the train

In Sam's room, away from prying eyes and ears, Sam, Jackie, Katana and Thomas sat in tense silence.

Sam spoke, "Alright, what happened in the alley? No skimping on details."

Katana sat silently for awhile before Thomas sighed " Delta is under the impression that Katana belongs to him... They made a deal a while back while Blue Lights here was helping out with a Drug bust.... Deltas gang patrolled the area the cops were searching.... Although Delta had nothing to do with the Drugs he knew of their location..... Which is what Blue Lights here needed, and they struck a deal Delta would give the info if Katana would..... Well let's not talk about that " he looked Down at Katana to see how she was doing. She was crying and gritting her teeth but not making a sound " When Katana didn't oblige.... Delta hit her hard enough it destroyed the hair cells in her nose.... The cops got the Bust but being that the deal was never met he believes taken' her as payment instead is reasonable"
