"He's my ex boyfriend, he turned out to be a arse, so I dumped him, he was apperently a better as$as$in than I am, and now he want's to do god only knwos what with me!"  Lake said, looking even paler than before.  'And hwo did he get in my room anyway?"  He growled the last bit, not knowing it he unlocked the door or not by himself.

"Cinammon!"  He had just remembered his ferret.  Qent hated the ferret, and she was partcially the reason why they broke up, because his obnoxious dog tried to kill her on several occasions, and the ferret wasn't as young as she used to be.  He saw hey laying on the ground and picked her up.

"Damn!  If he's hurt you, I'm killign his dog!"  He gumbled, setting her on the couch, and tryign to move her.  She was limp, and wouldn't wake up, she was still alive at least.

"I need to call my vet, make sure nothing's broken...Hnnn..."  He mumbled nervously.

Acheron nodded. "You should go. I'll stay. In another form of course." A smile played across his lips. But he still was wondering about the whole 'ex boyfriend' thing. And when he was done talking, striped spots started to show up on his skin.

Lake tilted his head, looking at the other.

"Hnn.  Yeah, I guess I can trust you more than Qent.  Don't get caught, I don't want to have lost my job in vein!"  He said.  Basically he was worried for the other, but added the last bit so he didn't seem it.

He picked up his phone, and made an appointment, and was gone within five minutes, unconcious ferret in a little carrying case.

(Ohhh, I knwo what do do~)

[[ Then please tell me ~! ]]

Acheron waited until Lake was out of the appartment and shifted into the king cheetah form he held in his arsenal. Streatching his long, furry legs, he yawned and curled his tail up. Walking lightly across the floor, he made his way down the hall. Just in case he needed a running start. But he also used this oppurtunity to explore.

(What if while Lake was out, Qen t sneaks in once again, and somehow Qent finds out about Acheron?)

[[ Yes! I liek it. ]

Acheron lifted his head from something he was sniffing and he narrowed his eyes; hissing. Flicking the tip of his tail, he padded to the room where Qent was. More like stalked in the shadows; keeping silent.

Qent saw the snimal and immediatly smirked.

"Did he seriously think he could defend himself from me with you?"  He questioned with a sick laugh.

Acheron growled and bared his feline fangs. He lashed his tail and took steady steps forward. His eyes said; 'You bet, bub.'

Qent's eyes widened only slightly, as he got on one knee to look at him.

"Wait, you talked..?  Oh, my god, HE'S been hiding the murderer?"  He said, then smirked.  "He's been hiding yopu all this time?"

'Not all the time,' Acheron growled lashing his tail, his muscles already starting to coil under his spotted/striped fur.

Qent didn't even flinch, not seeming the least bit scared.

"Wow, now I'll know where to go when I get the jpb.  I hunted down Collin, and asked him about Lake,"  He said standing up, and walking over to where he had kicked Cinnamon.

"He didn't knwo where you were except you had left the hospital, which left me to wonder why he was even in the hospital.  So, were you the ferret to, or was that just soem rat he picked out of the garbage?"  He questioned, lookign at the other.

Acheron growled again. 'A ferret is not one of my forms.' His eyes followed Qent as he turned again to face him.

"Hnn.  Okay, thanks,"  He said walkign past Acheron and leavign the room, door open.

He went into one of the elevator's and was gone.

(Maybe I should have him tell the guy at the desk he saw pot or somethign so cops would arrive.)

[[ Thats sounds okay with me. ]]

Acheron growled and shut the door as he turned back to being a human. Next time that man came over he was going to rip his heart out. Literaly.

[[ No. Not yet. Give me a minute and I might. ]]

(Okay. >_>')

[[ I think I got one. And it does involve Acheron running into Lake. And the cops catching both of them... And now its fading... ]]
