Alpha Wolf

Your interest is overriding your loathing; you decide to question Mary further.

"What the fuck are you doing talking to Lawrence?"
"It's not like he's a complete stranger to me you know, we did meet several times on the set when you and I were seeing each other. We got along remember?"
"Yeah, I remember, so what, were you fucking him too at the time?"
"(Sigh) No Wolf, though I wouldn't have minded that since he was less of an asshole and a more open minded sort than you! In fact had he not been so in love with Irena, I might've tried, but I saw theirs was a true love and I wasn't going to break that up…"
"Hold just a goddamn minute! He told YOU about Irena before me?! You were keeping secrets from me?!"
"No! In fact I was the one who told him to tell you about Irena because I knew you'd find out eventually, though he should've picked a better time than in the middle of your divorce to do it. I didn't tell you because it wasn't my place and it was between you and him. He wanted to keep it secret since he was so afraid that you'd be disappointed in him…"
"Hah! Disappointment isn't a strong enough word!"
"Yeah, I guess that was a mistake on my part. I figured you'd be able to look past it and I told him you would because he was your son and you were so proud of him…huh. I see your mind hasn't changed on the subject though."
"Never will either, now that was fucking years ago what the hell are you doing still talking to him?"
"Wolf, just because I wasn't with you, doesn't mean I couldn't talk to Lawrence! Maybe by staying in contact with him, I felt like I was still in contact with you. Goddammit Wolf, I'm a free woman, I can talk to who I want! Besides, you disowned him anyway, what do you care?! I always kept in contact with Lawrence AND Irena. I even see them both every now and then…I bet I know more about Lawrence now than you do…hell I bet you don't even know they have children! You got MORE grandchildren you don't even know about!"

You stand in utter shock; you didn't even know such a pairing would produce off spring. You didn't really want to think about it really.

"He's got children?" you say dumbfounded.
"Yeah a few of them, they're a bit funny looking, but they're very cute! (Sigh) I always wished I was able to have children…" Mary says wistfully. "You know Wolf you really should see Lawrence. It would mean so much to him."

You don't know, maybe all this information has bewildered you a bit, maybe Mary laid down the lovin' really good, maybe you're getting soft in your old age or maybe, just MAYBE you do want to see Lawrence.

"…Alright…alright Mary, I'll go see him, but I'm not promising anything!"

Mary smiles and hugs you.

"You will?"
"Yeah, but if his cat bitch starts anything, I'm outta there!"
"Oh Irena's nice! You should get to know her too! She isn't at all like you think Cat People are! I'll go get ready!"
"What?! You're coming too?"
"Of course, someone's gotta keep you on a leash so you don't end up destroying something, besides I know where they live and you don't, so I'm going with you."

Soon you and Mary get on your Harley and are on your way. Mary tells you how to get your son's house. You didn't even realize he lived in the same state. You park your bike outside a fairly nice looking house. Your son's been doing something right.

You take a deep breath when you get to the door and stand there for a few seconds preparing yourself, and then ring the bell.

The door opens almost immediately and a feline face stands before you, this must be Irena. It's obvious she recognizes you, but predictably she doesn't look happy to see you.

"You? What do you want?" she demands, while Mary looks at you a little concerned about what you're going to say.
