Showdown at Cat's Corral (Colby/Q/Cat/Renton)

[Quenten Ferris]

No one had budged an inch. Colby and Quenten were almost eye to eye if Cat weren't in the middle of them.

"Cat, darling," Quenten spoke through gritted teeth. "Please go inside now, this is man talk out here." He sized up Colby. "Although I question the other man."

"Cat, you don't have to go anywhere. You don't have to listen to him at all." Colby retorted. He looked directly at Cat. "If you still love me Cat, then you'll know whats the right thing to do."

That got Quenten's blood going. "She doesn't love you! She hates you!" He pushed Cat aside and tackled Colby out into the driving rain.

The two boys grappled each trying to land blows where they could. Colby's main concern though was to see that Cat was safe away from them and hopefully calling for help. The memories of Valentine's Day started to come back to him and there was not a chance in hell that Q was going to win this battle!

Quenten was fighting dirty as always. He kneed Colby in the groin, then in Colby's pain, Quenten grabbed the back of Colby's head and began to smash it into the ground. "Admit it asshole, I'm better than you! ADMIT IT!!"

When Cat was pushed to the side it was rough. She slammed into the railing her arm and hip. She felt pain shot up and down her body. She grabbed her arm and it felt bruises and sore and she did not know how bad she hurt it but that was the least of her worries right now. She had to save Colby, she screamed when she saw what Quenten was doing to him. She held her arm to her side as she began to think fast. She had to find away to get Quenten off of Colby.

Suddenly she saw the shovel and grabbed it. She walked up and hit Quenten in the side so he would get off Colby. "Quenten stop please" she begged tears falling down her cheeks. "You have me isn't that enough doesn't that make you better then him. You have me" she repeated. She hoped Colby knew that she was doing this for him, which by now she was sure he got the idea. "Just leave him alone for me" she winced as she moved her arm. "Quenten please please" she begged as she looked him in the eyes. She let the shovel drop to show she was done being defensive. "I am hurt" she told him. "I need help looking at my arm."

She hoped that would get him to see throug his haze of anger. There had to be a caring guy deep down she just had to reach him. She knew she had to stay with him after seeing his display of anger toward Colby. "Quenten I am asking for your help" she whispered. The pain was getting worse and she needed it looked at. She knew the hosptial was out of the question to many questions to answer. "I will need help wrapping it or whatever or taken to the doctor" she said moving subtly so she was in front of Colby. "Can you check it and take me to a doctor?" she asked Quenten. "I won't tell them what happened you can be in the room the whole time." She glanced at Colby, "just leave Colby alone."

Renton watch the entire situtation, his anger started to boil when he saw how Quenten was telling Cat to go as if they were still in the mid century era. Renton blinked as a fight broke out, and this time he wasn't going to let Quenten win on this one, he reached into his jacket pocket and pull out his cell phone he hurried to dial 911.

As Renton reported a domestic despute, they said they'll be there asap. Then Renton shoves the phone in his pocket and calmly walked up towards Cat's house and then quickly takes Colby's arm and pulled him up to his feet and then glares at Quenten after Cat has hitted him with a shovel. He then looks to Cat and glared a bit at her. "A restraining order on this sack of shit would have made Colby's and your life a lot easier!" he said he then jerks Colby's arm a bit, now he had to use his brain to come up with a plan. "Colby we better leave now the police is on their way, and from the looks of things Cat choose Quenten.!" Renton made a point.

"Since obviously no one thought of putting a restraining order on fat face butt foon here, they police will look at us for causing the distruption of the neighborhood. So guess what Colby they'll arrest us not Quenten!" he said his point was strong and clear. "So think for a moment be smart about this Colby!" Renton warned and then looks to Cat with firm serious look in his eyes. "Cat if you had any heart and you say you love this man, then you better find the strength!" Renton said giving her that look only she would understand.

Soon there were Sirens in the distance in the damp rain. "Let's go Colby!" Renton warned as he held on to him, he knew Colby was badly hurt (AGAIN) it was valentines day all over again. "You wanna spend the night in jail man come on!" Renton urged Colby. He then looks to Quenten. "Too bad your big bro isn't here to put you back on your leash!" Renton growled and then pulls Colby with him off of Cat's property. As the Siren starts to come closer.

Quenten glared at Cat. "I thought I told you to go inside!" He shouted at her. His gruff manner lightened up slightly when she said those words he enjoyed hearing. He let up on Colby. "You hear that, she belongs to me." He kicked Colby in the stomach to add injury to insult.

Colby held his stomach after the kick and slowly got to his knees. "Cat, please tell me...its not true." He looked at her with pleading eyes. "Please tell me your not with this...this monster!" He slowly got to his feet when he heard Renton's voice from behind him.

"You know, sheep boy has a point, I was invited over here, and you two are trespassing so I can make more trouble for you two than you can make for me!" Quenten retorted.

"Just...just go on without me, I want to be alone right now." It still hadn't hit him what Cat was doing. He felt like he had lost everything that meant something to him.

"Hell, let them throw me in jail, I've got nothing left now." He was already thinking, no wedding, no honeymoon.

Nothing.

Nada.

Zip.

Cat looked down not able to say anything. She knew if she looked at Colby she would crack and soon the whole story would spill out. That would send Quenten over the edge and she had no idea what he would do to her or Colby. She had to play ice queen. She finaly glanced at Colby. "Well you have the girl you were flirting with at the game, the one you gave the smile to, the smile that was always mine." She turned then and walked in the house. She sagged against the wall when she was out of sight. She took a deep breath before touching her arm that was sore.

She headed into the downstairs bathroom and slammed the door. She locked it and sat down and cried. She might as well be dead to if Colby felt that way, she was seperated from the man that she loved, and always would love. After she cried a bit she stood up and wiped her face off and hoped she did not look to bad. She looked at her arm it had a huge bruse near the top where she hit the hardest. She knew that it would have to heal on its own. She deserved it though after how she hurt Colby she deserved to be hurt.

She got a ice packet and put it over the bruise as she sat and stared vacently out the kitchen window in to the backyard. She could not look at Colby anymore today, she had no idea how she was going to make it through school tommrow, she could pretend that she was sick, she was not sure she could see him and not break down completely.

[Renton Marshall]

Renton didn't listen to Colby he ignore his lame ass defeat speach. He put Colby's arm around his own shoulder trying to carry him away before the police get here. He glared at Quenten for evening thinking he is better but Renton swallowed his pride and as he watched Cat go into the house. Renton felt bad of what he had said but it was true she could've saved everyone heart ache if she had done something simple. Restraining order. At least if Quenten tried get what he wanted and she refused she could have called them cops and they would have put Quenten away for good.

When Renton finally made it out of their sight, he realized Colby was still being stupid and lame. Renton rolled his eyes and sighed heavly. "Sorry Colby but this is going to hurt and maybe when the pain passes then we can discuss a plan!" Renton growled he hauled Colby up to his feet as long as he can and then Renton slugged him causing him to passes out. It would be easier for Renton to just carry Colby back to the old couples house that he was staying at, and then when he comes around he'll explain to Colby why he had to do what he had to.

Renton sighed and then picked up the unconsious Colby over his shoulder. He groaned and walked as fast as he could out of the rain back to the old couple as he gets there he knocked on the door. "Mrs B!! I need your help!" he called out through the door, the woman came and gasps. "Oh my what had happened?" she said concernly. "I'll explain later where's Mr. B help me get him up to the room!" he said. Mr. B soon came down when he heard the comotion and helped Renton up the stairs carrying Colby to the room.

Renton dropped Colby on the bed and Mrs B came up behind him with a bowel of cold water and towels. Mrs. B checked Colby for any serious injury and cleaned up what ever can be a serious infection.

Renton sat in the chair across the room panting as he takes off his wet jacket and toss it around the chair.
