    About this ebook

    The war of all against all ensues, unnoticed.

    The investigation into the death of a genetically engineered cat-girl leads detectives Burroughs and Roussel into the strange world of the super-rich.  Those rich enough to breed their own cat-girls as party favors are also rich enough to be above the law.  They even have their own private inter-personal wars going.  Burroughs and Roussel find themselves involved in such a war.

    Mike Hammer never had this sort of trouble.

      It is dark in the whale and hot. The air is difficult to breathe. Ira is coated in gunk, sweating in his black Speedo. The whale’s heartbeat booms and echoes like a giant drum. It’s intimidating. It sounds tribal, ritualistic, as Ira wades through th

      EVERY DAY IS A GOOD day to find an interesting body floating in the river.  And they had found a truly interesting body now for Detective Burroughs.  He had skimmed the autopsy report, and now he was going to have a look at the weird creature himself.

      He saluted the coroner with a wave of the hand: hello Santiago, he said and grinned, I'm here to see the cat-girl.

      Santiago the coroner sighed; everybody wants to see the freak.

      Oh?  There have been many visitors?

      Yeah, we're the crypto-zoological museum now.  No, I'm joking.  You're the first one.  But this is the first time you've come here in person to see a corpse, isn't it?

      You know I don't need to, the reports always tell me enough.  But this one... you know.  This one I think is worth a look in person, I think.

      Santiago shrugged, and Dt. Burroughs followed him into the cold storage.

      Feel free to keep your coat on, said Santiago as they entered the cooler, it is quite cold in there.

      Burroughs nodded, and put his hands in the coat pockets.  He was wearing his usual pin-striped three piece suit, which made him look almost like a twentieth century banker.  He felt it made him look important, and slightly more intimidating.  He carried himself like a coal-miner; one hand of iron, the other of steel, that sort of thing; and his tired and wary expression and his general stance made people sub-consciously stand out of his reach when he was speaking to them.

      The cold storage wasn't very large, so the numerous tables with covered bodies looked way more numerous than they actually were.

      Excuse the mess, said Santiago, but we've had some difficulty lately getting people to retrieve their deceased loved ones.  All the drawers have been full for two months.

      Mess excused.  Is this the girl?

      A tail was swinging from one of the tables.  Santiago nodded.

      She really has a tail then?

      Oh yes.  You read the report.  Everything in it is true.  I'll have the lab results in a couple days and I can tell you more.  Then you can track down her relatives if they want her body.  If she has relatives that is.

      Burroughs nodded.

      Santiago uncovered her head, and Dt. Burroughs saw a young, round face with full cheeks and a small nose.  She had bob-cut blond hair, and cat ears sticking out of the top of her head.

      Santiago explained: cause of death: a punch in the chest.  She wasn't decomposed, she floated because she hadn't fully exhaled before being thrown into the river.  That's how she made it to the shore and was found before anything disrupted her general appearance.  As you can see she does have four ears.  Those cat-ears you see sticking out of her skull there aren't implants as far as I can tell.  Maybe there's a really skilled plastic surgeon out there that I don't know about.  But that's for you to find out.

      Four ears, eh? Burroughs mumbled, moved the girls hair away to see her extra ears better.

      Yeah, redundant, isn't it?  Actually she can't hear any better with them, as they are purely cosmetic.  There's no eardrum there, or any of the inner workings she'd need for that.  They are just pointless ears.

      They seem pointy enough to me.

      Santiago frowned. 

      You know what I mean.  And then there's her fangs, Santiago moved her upper lip with his finger revealing a pair of very sharp fangs.

      It's just the ears, the tail and the fangs?

      On her face yes.  And the eyes, said Santiago, and showed Burroughs her left eye.  It was large and green and vertical slit, like a cat's.

      That's creepy.

      And the teeth weren't?

      Santiago pulled the cover off the body, folded it and draped it over another near-by body.  She had been a small girl in her late teens or early twenties, rather slight but not sickly, with small breasts and otherwise underdeveloped shape.  Burroughs would have thought she was fourteen if not for her pubic hair.

      As you can see the modifications are all very slight on the surface, the hardest one to hide has to be the tail... would you mind? he pointed Burroughs to help him, and they rolled the girl on to her belly. 

      See here.... the tail just appears from the end of her spine like a tail would if humans had such appendages.  She wasn't wearing any underpants when they found her, because they would have chafed against her tail, right here... he pointed, and it is furry, exactly like the rest of her isn't.

      Except the normal places, said Burroughs, looking at where the tail grew into the spine.  He wondered about the tail.  He spent a lot of his time sitting, and figured a tail would be the last thing he needed: how do the sit normally with a tail like that?

      I can't tell.  But those are all things that can be altered with surgery.  The claws would be the hardest thing to accomplish.

      Oh yes, the claws, said Burroughs, and took the arm closest to him and examined the hand.  The fingers had no fingernails.  But if moved in a certain way, sharp claws emerged from the skin on her fingertips.

      I know of people who can do all the other stuff on her body.  With the exception of her eyes, it is all relatively easy to accomplish.  But that... those claws.  That's the art of flesh as far as I am concerned.  If it is surgically done.

      I gather you don't think this body is surgically altered?

      No.  I think she's made like this.

      Ah.  You think she's a meat-puppet.

      A biomech.  A regular twenty-second century girl. 

      Whatever you want to call it.  Her.  You have reasons to believe she is?

      The ears and even the teeth are fairly common fetish modifications.  I've seen a couple of stiffs equipped with those before.  I've even heard from colleagues about tails and eyes, but retractable claws?  Way out of the normal every day fetish-pervs budget.

      That does limit my suspect pool.

      You hope.  Anyone could have killed her. 

      Burroughs hadn't thought of that.  But he maintained a passive expression.  He helped Santiago cover the body again.

      Only a few have the resources to build her.  That is, if she really is a genetically engineered cat-girl.  I'll get the lab results tomorrow and I'll tell you if it's another one of those.  Reminds me, did you ever find out where that other one came from?

      The one last year?  No.  It wasn't in my jurisdiction.  All I heard it was a dead end.

      Wasn't that the case that Detective Ripper was working on when he got caught?

      Detective Ripper.  Burroughs had almost forgot about him.  Real name Drake Floyd.  He worked in the next precinct, so he seldom met the guy.  But he had met him.

      Yes it was.  Now that was a weird case.

      Weirder than the cat-girl?

      I'll have to get back to you on that, Burroughs looked at Santiago, but that body?

      She's a work of  art.  Genetically engineered or not.  I'd like to know who made her.  Out of professional curiosity.

      Of course you do.

      I'm working on a paper on her.  She's advanced.

      Burroughs left Santiago with his creepy body and went back to the station.  The only thing that made his trip worth while was that he knew that Santiago wasn't making this up.  That definitely was a cat-girl. 

      2.

      BURROUGHS LIVED IN a very large apartment in a rather secluded and quiet industrial area.  The house was six levels, with ten apartments, each covering half a level.  There was a long hallway running the full-length of the wall giving access to these two apartments.  A strange design, but this had never been built as an apartment building.  It was a very old brick house that should have been torn down a century ago, but as it wasn't in anyone's way, it got to stand.  There was only him and some other tenant he vaguely recalled meeting living there.  There weren't any stores near by, or bus stops, making it a slightly inconvenient
