A BAD KIND OF LOVE
Part One: Lost Armadillo
.o.o.o.
"If there's one thing I can't stand is a total pain in the ass bounty- the kind that just won't come quietly."
"Yeah, tell me about it Nack- they just can't see how reasonable our solution is."
"Still, Nic, it wouldn't be the same if they just said 'oh gee, I'd better come quietly' now would it?"
"No, the employers don't pay for no limp-wristed half assed jobs."
Nack turned around and placed his boot on top of the limp form of the bounty that he'd caught- with the help of his twin sister, Nicollet. . . or Nic for short. He pulled out a dark green bottle. "I'll drink to that, sis!"
Nic placed her head on her brother's shoulder and smiled. "And with him taken care of, we'll have a nice bit of money in the bank!" She exclaimed, taking the bottle away from him and drinking from it.
"Hey sis, don't hog the booze!" He exclaimed.
Nic smiled. "You should talk, not even going to share with you sweet little twin sister." She replied in a teasing tone.
Nack smiled. "Sorry, I just thought you were watching your figure."
Nic sputtered. "Jerk, I'll kill you!" She exclaimed jokingly.
The two of them struggled for a moment, when Nic spotted something off in the distance. She gasped. "What's he doing out here?"
Nack stopped, till holding up one arm, to keep the bottle from her, while the other held her back. "What- who?"
Nic drew her laser pistol and headed off. Nack polished off the bottle and wiped his mouth off. "What, I still don't get it." He exclaimed and set off to follow her.
.o.o.o.
"What the hell do you mean Steve was captured!" Exclaimed the tall fox.
"But Mr. Largo, the bounty hunters just rolled in and snatched him up- we hadn't even turned around before he was gone." The other, smaller fox tried to explain.
"Find out who they are and where they took him, no one kidnaps my own family- my little brother no less- and gets away with it!"
Another creature ran into the room, this was one was a raccoon. "Mr. Largo, the two bounty hunters that took Steve- they're the Weasel Twins—"
"Nack and Nic the Weasel!" Largo cut him off. "Those two are going to regret what they did to me!"
.o.o.o.
. . .he had a headache. . .
"Damn fox wasn't much trouble in the end, bro." said a feminine- yet razor sharp- voice.
"Yeah, punks like him always come easy in the end." Replied a masculine voice- this one complete with a more then subtle hint of arrogance in it.
"Oh, look, it seems the guest is coming around." Replied the feminine voice.
"He's your problem sis; you're the one who insisted on picking him up."
"Fine, but you'll see- I have my reasons, including something that might just be useful to us as well."
"You always were a sly one- I guess I won't push any further." The voice paused. "Best not to reveal the plan too soon."
"I knew you'd see reason bro." The female replied cheerfully.
"Rise and shine, Mighty."
The Armadillo bolted upright and came face to face with a pair of ice-blue eyes and locks of lavender hair. Not to mention a grinning row of sharp teeth.
"Nic? W-where am I?" He blurted out, noting that Nic wasn't wearing her hat.
She frowned. "Sweetie, I'd hope you could've answered that one." She replied. "But don't worry. . . we'll get you back to the island soon enough." She paused.
She leaned in towards him, her pointed snout almost touching his nose. "And all you have to do is just a little favor for us."
Mighty gulped. "I. . . um, don't know. . ." He stuttered
She stood back up and smiled. "Well, think about it for a bit, but don't worry, I'll personally see to it that it's worth your while." She remarked cryptically and turned away to leave the room- her hips swiveling ever so slightly.
Mighty's throat suddenly felt dry as he thought about what had just happened.

I imagine that some of you may know where this is going. But for the rest of you, I'll leave to your imaginations till it comes up later.
