CSI: Furdom

[Jude Wolfshiem]

Wipes some coffee off of his face.  "Died... Do you remember your parents' first names, if not their last?"  Steadies himself a little and studies her face closely.

"Me mum and da....I barely ever heard their first names. I think they were Valerie, me mum, and Shannon was me da, but it's so long ago..." She sipped her coffee, trying to hide a tremor in her face that threatened tears.

[Avuneon]

Puts the cup down slowly and whispers, "Cattie..."  Slowly stands up then rushes to her and pulls her into a sudden hug, startling her.  "Do you remember the house on the shore of Lough Leane?  Trips into Killarney?"

[Jude Wolfshiem]

Jude stiffened, then as her memories unlocked, embraced Colin tightly. "Brother? Yes, the forest, I remember! Colin, how, how did you find me?" Her eyes filled with tears. "Tell me more, help me remember!"

[Avuneon]

"About a year ago I finally was able to go back to the house.. But the family was gone.. Most of the house as well.. I've spent the last year saving money and trying to find out where you all went!"  Touches her face as if to make sure she is really in front of him.  "What happened to ma and da?  Did they get sick?  Was it an accident?  ...  Was it not an accident?"

[Vosur Aekira]

"Not to be rude or anything, Marie... but being like this would imply something." He was looking off to the side, still somewhat embarrassed... even though he knew the whole situation about Marie's involvement now. His eyes were constantly moving to see if anyone was watching.

She just rubs her cheek along his and proceeds to just sit in his lap...nuzzling into him as she held onto him now. "Doesn't matter to me."

"They got distemper from the shipboard rats...there was nothing the doctors could do for them, though they tried... I was all alone here, but some Furs found me at the docks and brought me here to Furdom. I lived on a farm for awhile, but when I turned sixteen I joined the police force and moved up in rank. God, Brother, it's been so long!" Jude curled into his arms, memories and half-memories racing through her head, bannock bread in the morning, cows lowing, green hills and rain, her father's secret ale brewing in the back room.

[Avuneon]

Holds his long lost sister tightly.  "I cant believe it's you, Cattie!  I thought I would have to hunt around for even just a trace, but here we bump into each other just a few hours in and share a meal without knowing!"

"I know, it's like a miracle! Wait until you meet my husband, he won't believe I have a brother! Oh, and the other officers! Colin, this is grand!" Jude laughed through her tears. "My name's Jude now, but, you can call me Cattie still. I remember it now."

[Avuneon]

"Thank you.  It's hard to change the name you know someone as..."  Looks around, "Where are the rest of the officers, anyway?  I just realized how alone we were..."

[Jude Wolfshiem]

"Thank you.  It's hard to change the name you know someone as..."  Looks around, "Where are the rest of the officers, anyway?  I just realized how alone we were..."

"They're all out on duty, you see there's a gang of AntiFurs loose, nutters who dress in fursuits and kill humans to try to raise hatred against us. There's an amusement park called the ZOO they sem to be using as a base, though the park itself is legit...I only came to the pub to relax... I never dreamed..." A sob broke through, Jude being overwhelmed. "I hope...I hope they'll be back soon..."

[Avuneon]

"Well then," grabs his new ID tag, " why don't we see if we can find one of em!  Let me put on something more appropriate."  Runs back to his room and puts on black slacks, boots, and his duster.  Clips the ID tag to the duster.  Grabs the case on the way out of the room.

"Let's go then." Jude holstered her 9mm Sig Sauer and grinned. SHe hugged her brother tightly and then pulled on his arm leading him to the garage, where she radioed the others from the car. "Hey, guys, you aren't gonna believe this, I found my long-lost brother! Any of you can respond, please do so, A-sap!"

[Avuneon]

Slips around the car and into the passenger side.  "This box is a little big to carry around everywhere...  We'll have to put a rack in for Catherine...  Yes I named my gun after my kid sister."  Avoids eye contact after staring the last part.

[Jude Wolfshiem]

"Well, that could be taken as a compliment...I guess...Care to explain?" Jude arched an eyebrow, wondering what childhood memory escaped her

[Avuneon]

"I named her after what I was fighting for."  Looks over at her.  "For my kid sister to be safe.  I wasn't successful, but you seem to have turned out alright nonetheless."
