Jack had always been the odd one in his family when it came to ambitions amongst other things. His appearance in it's own was unorthodox for a rabbit in a family who have pure grey fur.
Jack was also taller than most in his family and had three, wide, black whisker like markings on both sides of his cheeks along with possessing an accent that sounded very similar to a British accent and had a verbal tic as he always ended every sentence with ' Mate'
He craved adventure and secrets and wanted to explore the unknown when he was about 5 years old, he witnessed his older sister, Judy, befriend a fox named Nick Wilde. Now being as curious as he wanted to see and feel what it felt like to befriend a predator.
And so he did, and it was one of the best decisions in his life that he had to keep secret due to his... biased…. father. And when he heard that Judy wanted to become a Police officer he had thought of all the possibilities for adventures she'd have so he followed in her footsteps.
When one would think about the idea of a Policemen, you'd think of Crime-bosses, Murder mysteries, kidnapping and a whole bunch of interesting affairs!
However, fighting on a speeding train on top of the highest peak in Tundra-town in high tech, next dimension battle armour with your Super-soldier enhanced Sister along with her boyfriend which turned out to be another Super-soldier with a metal arm from another dimension who so conveniently brought along his ex-partner, a Sorcerer Supreme, a man in an indestructible black suit and a LITERAL GOD to fight off a Super-villain terrorist organisation…. was not one of those expectations.
But hey, times change…and Jack changed with it….
It was roughly two months after the events of that fateful day and Jack was adjusting well to his new-found reputation amongst the citizens of Zootopia.
Of course, he wasn't alone in this as he best friend Wade Harrison also seemed to enjoy the new-found attention that he was receiving from society…. especially the more…feminine side.
See, Wade always had a thing for the girls and couldn't resist the opportunity to even just hang out with just one of em and now the whole bloody female population is just swarming him, both predators and prey alike.
Not to say, he didn't deserve the attention…but at this rate, it's just feeding his massive ego.
Jack rolled his eyes as a new bunch of ladies, no doubt single, rushed over to his Albino friend…thus prominently interrupting their activities they had scheduled.
Currently, all they were doing was just sitting in the national park on a bench near a water fountain which had a statue of their ex-Mayor Lionheart at its' centre.
Jack fell deep into thought about his siblings, Gordon, Lucio, Susan, Jill and James.
He had personally seen of his siblings Gordon, and Susan at the Z.P.D academy last month after all that commotion, but he never got to see off the rest of em.
Though, what he did know was that Lucio entered a music academy, Jill entered Medical school and James went to Acting school….
He stared up at the sun and closed his eyes from a brief while as his ears fell back and he sighed after breathing in some fresh air. It was then he felt something vibrate in his pocket, which brought him back down to earth.
He slid his hands into the pocket of his black jeans and pulled out his smartphone and answered the call, with a bit of boredom "This is Jack…"
"Officer Savage…" replied a gruff and rather deep voice from the other end of the line, causing Jack to sit upright with his eyes full of attention "Chief Bogo, to what do owe the pleasure, mate?"
"I'd prefer 'sir' but that's not the point. Get down to the station, there's something here that requires your attention asap" Bogo Ordered as he hung up making the line go dead.
Jack placed his phone back in his pocket as he turned around towards his partner, who was still with the ladies talking, flirting and no doubt getting their numbers…god he was such a playboy. But that was part of what made Wade, Wade. It's part of his charm.
"Oi sorry to interrupt your little dating session there mate, but, we need to go…Bogo wants us at the station asap" Jack said as he crossed his arms.
Wade looked distraught for a moment before giving a light chuckle and showing some hints of amusement as a smile crept up on his face. "Sorry ladies, maybe next time…I gotta go" Wade said as he made a popping sound with his mouth at the end of his sentence and finished off with a grin and a wave.
"aww…." The ladies moaned in fake sorrow and Wade laughed "Hey…I'll be back, I promise!" he smirked as Jack grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the car, already at his wits end with Wade's endless flirting…every day it just…never stops!
The got into Jack's car, it wasn't a big fancy one as he was just learning to drive so he just got a classic Ford mustang at the second-hand dealer. He started the engine and drove towards the station when Jack spoke "Man, why you gotta be such a kill-joy"
"Because, Wade, this happens like every time we hang out…it's annoying" Jack grumbled and Jack raised his eyebrow and smirked "Ha! I bet you're just jealous I can score a ton of hot chicks and you can't…what's the matter? Not ready to lose it yet?" he chuckled in amusement
Jack's ears shot up and he blushed "H-hey! It's not like that!". Laughter filled the car after that as Wade wiped a tear from his left eyelid with a finger in response to his friend's answer.
"Ah! It's fine Jacko, maybe someday you'll find that special someone eh. And look…we've arrived at the Z.P.D" Wade said as he looked up at the towering building ahead of them which still had some construction work going on.
Jack parked his car near the front entrance and turned off the engine and took the key out of the port as he opened his door and stepped out of the car with Wade as they made their way inside the building, known as precinct 1.
As usual, crime never rests and neither do the good guys…. except maybe Nick and Judy who were on an extended vacation to an exclusive beach resort located at the heart of Sahara Square, where they would also be staying at the palm hotel as thanks from the new mayor Rosenburg, who was a lioness.
Jack saw a few familiar faces at work though, Clawhouser at reception and Barry and Ryan talking to Delgato and Wolford.
Jack tapped his watch that he was wearing twice and that activated Eclipse, his personal A.I companion.
"Hello zhere Jack, what can I do for you?" Eclipse asked and Jack smiled "Could you make me taller?" he asked, "But of course Kinder" Eclipse replied and in an instant, Jack felt himself lift off the ground as the cloths he wore was his armour as it could change its form.
Jack instantly became as tall as Wade when the two reached Clawhouser's desk. The Cheetah stopped eating his pack of chips when he noticed Jack and Wade…aka… Gauntlet and Sharpshooter approaching him.
"Hey guys, what can I do for you?" Clawhouser asked and Jack smiled "We're here to see the Chief, just let him know we're here" he said and the cheetah nodded as he dialled in some numbers on the hotline that was linked to the Chief's office and exchanged a few words before nodding and putting the phone down.
"Right then, the Chief will see you two now…you know where to go" He smiled as he went back to eating his pack of Chips.
Jack and Wade went up a spiral staircase and reached the centre of a long hallway where Chief Bogo's name was carved into a gold nameplate and nailed to the centre of the wooden oak door.
Jack opened the door where he saw the Chief sort out some paperwork as he looked at the two and neatly arranged a stack of papers and placed them at the side of the corner.
"Right then, come in you two" The Chief ordered and they did so accordingly as they pulled up the chairs and sat down for briefing.
The Chief looked at the two of them, knowing full well their capabilities as demonstrated last month during the incident. "Ok, then, listen closely…I want you two to investigate something for me."
"What's it gonna be Chief?" Wade asked with a smug grin that would only ever rival Nick's own grin.
"There's been a chain of mysterious robberies down at sector 4, near the entrance of Little rodentia. Suspects claim that they were robbed but never felt a single thing. Normally, I would send in Delgato for this but here's where it got interesting…"
Bogo took out a few photos and flashed them in-front of the two Officers. Jack brought up Eclipse and told him to analyse the photos for anything suspicious, after a few seconds a holographic projection of all images appeared in mid-air in which Eclipse had zoomed in on a man with a hood and a black jacket.
"Sir…look here, you may find this interesting" Eclipse called out as he zoomed in on one of the photographs on the right-hand sight.
"Is that…" Wade said as he raised an eyebrow and gasped slightly at the picture when Jack, who bore the same expression but housed more concern and seriousness completed his sentence "A metal arm…with two claw like projections…which can only mean, as we all know only one person with a metal arm, but he's on our side…"
"It's another Winter Soldier…...or at least, something like that...which means…that there's still some Hydra agents out there." Wade breathed out in slight fear for the civilians as he gulped.
"Have you raised the alarm of this yet Chief? Or at least notified the Z.P.D? Or maybe even…" Jack was interrupted by Bogo as he raised his hand to stop him.
"No…not yet, I'd like this on the downlow for a while as the city just suffered from a massive invasion from these guys. And to find out that there's still some out loose on the streets with characteristics similar to that of Officer Wilde…. there would be nation-wide panic.
After all…. we all know what Wilde can do on his own. If this truly is another Winter Soldier…then Jack, I want you to bring him in as quietly as possible, without raising any alarm…understood?"
Jack nodded before asking "May I at least inform my family? I'll ask them not to tell anyone…please sir!" he pleaded and Bogo nodded "Dismissed…wait. Make the call here and then go"
Jack nodded as he took out his phone and speed dialled his mother's phone number. "Hello Jack!" came her voice, all happy and ignorant to the threat hanging over everyone's' heads.
"Mom…call everyone near you and put the phone on speaker…please this is VERY Important…for the safety of our family"
"Oh dear…w... what's wrong?" she stuttered, finally grasping some bits of the threat as he heard her call everyone towards her "What is it Jack?" he heard his father ask and he responded, "You all know how Nick is the Winter soldier right?"
"Yeah…what about it?" Stu asked in concern, piecing the puzzle bit by bit "Dad…stay indoors. Don't ever leave the house…. because there's another one out there…dad there's a hostile Winter Soldier out there on the loose in the streets!"
He heard everyone gasp and panic "Have you…told Nick yet" was Stu's response. "No…the Chief want's this done as quietly as possible, if I fail to catch him within 48 hours…then Nick will be informed and so will the rest of the country. Dad, DO NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE UNTIL IT IS SAFE TO DO SO" Jack warned as he heard his father reply "Understood".
Silence greeted him next as he hung up and placed the phone back in his pocket and he walked out the door with Wade…now more serious than ever.
