With them knowing who he is now, Blacksad has been keeping himself out of sight of the pride members of Shimmer. Currently he's spying on the former museum turned home, making notes and taking photos of the people coming and going from the building. He's been noting down the members of the pride, which the number has been increasing.

In the room of the building close to the museum that he's been using to spy on Shimmer and her pride, he has photos and names of the members. They don't use house staff and all take turns doing housework around the museum but they do have gardeners to take care of the yard work. He made notes on what role the pride members do around the manor and anything else he spots them doing.

Celestia, has a very close relationship with Shimmer. Possibly related to her. Seems to treat her like her daughter or niece. Asked around and the women who are or were in prides say that it's normal for a pride to have been around for a long time with the former queen handing over the crown to a younger queen. It's possible that Celestia is the former queen of the pride that Shimmer has taken over.

Bringing the total number of pride members to 50 in Shimmer's pride. There are larger prides but those have a king or kings or are more like a large family group. Shimmer's pride are all sexually active with each other and all are clearly in love with Shimmer. He has seen them making out with each other enough to see that's the case.

Blacksad looks behind him as Dominic "Dom" Drago a Treasury agent enters the room.

"Anything new?" Dominic ask.

"Nope nothing, all I have seen from the front is the pride members leaving to handle the businesses they own and bringing back boxes of the scale models that Shimmer is into," Blacksad said.

Dominic walks over to the map of the layout of the manor, both outside and inside. They had mapped out the place thanks to interviewing the architect and the workers who worked on the manor. The manor has a very large basement that use to be the storage for the museum, much of the old rooms have been changed but the clock tower is still working but the bell have been removed as the pride didn't want to have the loud ringing.

"The windows on the bottom all have iron bars, the outdoor staircase to the second floor is fenced off. The staircase in the back has been replaced with one that can be raised up, preventing anyone from getting on the roof by the old courtyard in the back. The dock in the back has been fenced off, which all the walled off, with the gates all being solid to prevent anyone from getting a look at what's happen on the grounds," Dominic said.

"Well seeing how many of the pride members have very voluptuous bodies and are all beauties. It's not that surprising that they don't want to have peeping Toms," Blacksad said.

"They are very open with their affection with each other," Dominic said.

"That's putting it mildly," Blacksad said.

"It's normal enough for prides that are all females to be sexual active with each other and even after a king joins," Dominic said. (1)

"True but how are all of them are all beauties like that? I have been to many red light districts and never seen so many women built like that," Blacksad said.

"Yes, I have picked up on that lead of the families of two of the pride members that could be found, Calico "Callie" Briggs and Felicia Hardy. Ms Hardy's parents are surprised at how much their daughter has grown since she left home. And Ms Briggs were surprised how young she looks now and how she has grown. The agents compared photos that their families have of what they look before and the change is very noticeable. Hardy is still young but for Briggs, her parents say she looks like she's in her 20's again and they wonder how she gotten such a figure in such a short time. The agent also talked with her old friends and coworkers and they were surprised as well of how much she has changed," Dominic said.

"Whatever they're doing to make themselves look like that would be worth a lot if it also works on men," Blacksad said.

"Any signs of them?" Dominic ask.

"No, it looks like they're staying inside today. The only one that went out was Kitty Katswell and she already return," Blacksad said.

"Learn anything?" Dominic ask.

"Just that the pride member Celestia has a very close relationship with Shimmer," Blacksad said pointing to the photo of said pride member.

The photo was taken at another high class party that the mayor held for fund raising for his next election. She's a fully matured woman who still turns eyes like Shimmer does. She was wearing a green silk blouse and a skirt of blue silk, along with sheer stockings and ankle strap stiletto shoes. All that luxurious silk made her body seem to shimmer and glisten, and is an impressive body. Huge breasts that are bigger than her head and hips wider then her shoulders, with a large butt where those old dresses that made women's butts look big, she wouldn't need at all.

"From what I learn of how prides work, she might have been the old queen before Shimmer took over. She also might be related to her," Blacksad said.

"Old queens do often threat the younger members of prides as their daughters if they're alone," Dominic said.

"Shimmer's past is unknown, guess work and rumors are all we have to go on," Blacksad said.

"At least we know that all of the pride members are here now," Dominic said.

"Yes and they been enjoying each others company," Blacksad said having caught enough of the actions taking place inside to know what's happening inside.

Inside the manor -

If one were to peek inside the master bedroom they would see an orgy taking place. Shimmer and her pride are renewing their bonds with each other in the most intimate and pleasurable way. One girl stood with her legs apart against one of the walls. Two other girls groped her big tits while a third was down between her legs and eating her out. Somewhere else, two girls were down and lapping at each other's pussies in an intimate 69. Beyond them a pile of limbs and jiggling boobs was engaged in something so complex that one couldn't even tell how many participants were involved.

Which is the scene Kitty Katswell walk into, feeling miff that she had to run that errand. Her pride members have been having fun without her while she was out. Two of them lay on the bed, scissoring excitedly while each kissed another, who kneaded their breasts in the process. Her eyes fell onto their bodies, their adoration, their undivided attention placed squarely onto each other as they touched and caressed one another. It's been awhile since all of them have been together like this, pride members strewn all over the room. One lay atop a rug while another straddled her face. Another stood off to the side, hands gripping the heads of two members who ate both her holes out in eager, loving tandem. On the floor was a six woman daisy chain of oral indulgence circling around, all while they writhed and gasped for one another.

Feeling herself grow wetter and aroused as she watched all these women adore each other, Kitty Katswell looked around for her queen to give her the good news from her errand. She strip off her clothes first and walk among her pride looking for her queen while avoiding falling onto the piles of bodies or being lured to join in. She finally found the queen of the pride Sunset, who was between the thighs of Britney, her agile tongue slathering her to ecstatic heights, with her right hand thrust into the pussy of Pumyra, while Kitty is between her legs eating her out.

Sunset's view was no longer blocked by the groin of Britney and replaced by Katswell.

"Katswell you're back," Sunset said looking up between Katswell's thighs and seeing that's she wet.

"Got some good news, the order of statues and the equipment are going to be completed by this week," Katswell said.

"And just have 3 weeks to go before the time is right," Sunset said grinning at the thought of the years of planning finally paying off, and that Kitty is still eating her out.

"I can hardly wait, after so many years its all going to be completed," Katswell said as she kneels down over Sunset's head presenting her dripping cunt to her queen.

"Yes it will, now get over here," Sunset said causing Katswell to sit on her face with her tasty cunt on her mouth.

Katswell moan with pleasure as her queen showed off her skills and she leans down over the body of her queen in a 69 position. Kitty growls a bit as Katswell joins her in eating out their queen but quickly got over it as they swap the tasty juices from their queen with each other as they kissed each other. Soon they were just apart of the pile of twisting bodies all around them.

Elsewhere -

Down near the bad part of the city is Moe's Eats, it was Moe's Bar till prohibition was pass, and the owner Moe had to change business, but it didn't mean he stop selling beer. Down beneath his restaurant is his underground speakeasy, where his regulars now go to for something to drink. And where the gangsters that supply him with the beer do their business.

The married gangsters, Mac Mange and Molly Mange who have been running the Metallikats gang for years. Molly Mange is tall and statuesque, with sharp features and wild, untamed hair. Her husband Mac is short, squat, has a huge chin and, when he was flesh and blood, had thick lips and a big, ugly scar. (2)

The Manges run the catnip smuggling, loansharking, and the brothels in the slums of the city. They're small but are very protective of their turf and use the street gangs as their muscle. Asa Sweet is meeting with them for that very reason. On the other side of the table in the private room where they do their business in, the married pair are talking to each other about the business deal Sweet is offering them.

"If you want our gangs to make a mess of the businesses that dame owns, you're going to have to make a much better deal than that," Mac said.

"She did open that soap kitchen, a flophouse, and open an Egg Barrel here. We hit her like you want, we're going to need something to make it worth it," Molly said.

"She open businesses here and you two haven't tried to squeezed her for some protection?" Sweet ask.

"We did, and now all the gangs are getting free food. It's just mainly eggs and turnips but, hey it's free food. Which is why we need something bigger than what you're offering. If Shimmer finds out we're the ones behind the attacks, we can kiss the free food goodbye and there are plenty of people around here including our gang members who depend on the free food she's handing out. So as, I said we need something bigger and you offering up that swill you call beer isn't going to cut it," Molly said.

"Very well, I can arrange some shipments of catnip in the next shipment," Sweet said knowing that both of them are very into the catnip trade.

"Now you're talking," Mac said.

"Get the stuff first and then we can send some cats to wreck up the stuff for you," Molly said.

"It will take some time for the shipment to get to the city. I'll contact you when its here," Sweet said taking his leave.

He was lucky with the farmers not being linked to him, with all of them disappearing afterwards, dead most likely. Nico and Serafine did tell him that their bodies were used in a ritual for their voodoo cult they lead and that Shimmer is the one who preformed it and summon their god. Nonsense seeing how she's a stage performer and all, she must had trick them somehow. After all magic isn't real.

Author's Notes -

1 - Because prides are a social norm in the Lackadaisy culture, same gender sex is not frown upon.

2 - Mac Mange and Molly Mange the Metallikats from Swat Kats, but not as robots.
