A Path to take
Chapter 1
It was the first gunshot that awoke TK as the sound shattered the night. He sat bolt upright, which isn't all that high when your 6 years old, He sat and listened, he could hear shouting and what sounded like furniture being thrown around. TK crawled to the edge of his bed and climbed down. The wooden floor was cold on his bare feet. He turned, eyes scanning the dark room. there was a cold chill in the air. Ignoring the toys that littered the floor he crossed his room. He froze as a shadow moved under his door. The handle creaked, as someone turned it. His Mother slipped inside
"Mom? What's going...?"
But his mother interrupted him
"ssshhhhh It's ok son, there are some bad people in the house so I need you to hide under your bed and be very quiet. OK?"
TK was confused but he could see his mother was serious.
"OK."
TK waited at the door as she went back into the hallway. He strained his ears. He could hear voices but couldn't make out the words, Being a very curios kid he opened his door. The hallway was pitch black. TK could remember were the doors were so walking quietly down the hall was easy for TK. As he reached the stairs he peeked through the railing and flinched as he saw the ruined living room. The chairs were smashed, the table was flipped and the front door lay shattered on the floor. There were shadows standing in the wreckage of the living room. TK only recognized his mother, There was another gunshot and he saw his mother fall, a pool of blood began to spread out-from her and her breathing became ragged. His eyes stinging TK scuttled back as the other figures sprinted out the ruined frame of the front door. TK waited a few seconds then ran down to his mother. She lay their looking at the ceiling, As TK moved closer she looked at him and smiled, then her eyes glazed over and a breath of air escaped her lips and she was still.
TK shook her slightly "mom?" there was no response. His eyes started watering as he shook her. "mom? wake up"
He flinched as he heard a floorboard creak behind him, He spun around and saw a towering figure standing over him. TK ran at the figure ready to fight. But the man caught his fist and bent down to TK's eye level.
"TK are you ok?" it was his father.
"Dad?" TK sniffed then hugged him. "Dad, mom won't get up" He could barely speak past the lump in his throat.
His father looked up at the prone figure of his wife. A his eyes became damp with tears
"Oh Kate I'm so sorry" he looked at the door then at TK.
"TK I'm Going after them, I'll make them pay for what they've done. I don't know when I'll be back." With that said his father let go of him and sprinted out the door.
TK awoke with a start. He was panting and dripping in a cold sweat. he swung his legs of the bed and put his head in his hands.
"Fuck, I hate that dream." He looked up at his clock. 6:47am
"May as well get up" He stood up and looked around.
TK's 19 years old. He stands at 5'9. He's a fox with light brown fur and a white tip on his tail. He has short spiky blonde hair and ice blue eyes, . From his bed he could see his small kitchen full of unwashed dishes, across from that was the bathroom. next to the kitchen was the living room with a view on paris, his couch still had his guitar and amp on it,in front of the couch was a small coffee table, and on the wall was his flat screen TV. Not much to look at but on his salary it was fine.
He stretched yawning widely. He rubbed his eyes and tried to shake of the dream.
"Stupid dreams" he mumbled as he walked to the shower. He took off his boxers and threw them into the corner of the bathroom. then quickly stepping the shower and turning on the tap.a hot jet shot out of the shower and TK winced,
"Oh water how I hate thee" then he began washing his fur.
A few minutes later TK was eating his breakfast dressed in his usual getup of a dark red shirt with the sleeves rolled upa black body warmer hung over his shoulders, blue jeans, Dark brown boots and his lucky blue wristband.
He looked at the calendar next to the door. "March 16th" he flipped open his phone. A message appeared saying you have 1 message. He clicked it and read:
Text: Recruit. This is my number
Meet me and my partner
In front in the car park at
Police HQ at 8am.
Inspector Fox
He looked at the time on his phone 7:38am a grin spread across his face
"I always loved races"
He grabbed his wallet his keys and ran out the door. he slid across the corridor and slammed into the wall splitting his lip
"Ouch"
He touched his lip and looked at the blood on his finger.
"I really shouldn't run everywhere"
He turned and locked his door then ignoring his own advice ran down the stairs and out the building to his blue motorbike.
Racing through the sunny streets of Paris was great. TK loved the sun and the feel of the wind. He checked his phone as he pulled up to police HQ 8:05am "damn, I'm late."
As he parked by the sidewalk as he looked around. Standing by the car park was a red vixen wearing Dark brown boots, Dark blue jeans with a red leather jacket. She had a shock pistol and a badge by her hip. Dark locks curled over her shoulder and her hazel eyes looked furious.
Standing next to her looking really shy was a light brown vixen with black and white boots, Black Jeans, a blue tank top and a light blue denim jacket, she also had a shock pistol and badge by her hip, she had medium length dark brown hair and deep golden eyes
TK remembered seeing them a month ago while he was at the police training grounds.
Walking towards them TK waved and said "morning"
"AND WHAT TIME DO YOU CALL THIS!?" TK's ears twitched as the red vixen yelled at him.
"Uuuummmm 5 past 8?" he replied looking at the watch he wasn't wearing. The woman next to the yelling vixen smiled, then when she saw TK looking at her she blushed furiously.
"Very funny wise guy" the red vixen growled "but when I say 8am I mean 8am. Ok?"
"Aye, sorry I'm late." TK replied scratching the back of his head
"I'll forgive you this once but if you late again I will end you." She growled.
"I'm inspector Carmelita Montoya fox and this is my partner constable Eve Takanichi."
She gestured at the light brown vixen. TK nodded at Eve who blushed but squeaked a hello.
"Today you're joining us on a stakeout at a museum."
TK Grinned "radical, so do I get a shock pistol now? Or do I have to bring my own?"
Carmelita smirked "I like that attitude but only certified Interpol officers carry these, you have to have see some action before you get one, but by the look of your split lip I'd say you'll get one in no-time."
TK touched his lip again and grinned
Carmelita and Eve both shared a glance "were borrowing a police cruiser to get to the museum since our cars only fit 2 and your bike won't fit all 3 of us.
"Let's do it to it" TK punched the air.
as they moved towards the cruiser TK immediately went for the driver seat. he opened the door and Carmelita just waltzed past him and sat down in the seat. she looked at him with a grin
"opening the door for the lady, how gentlemanly of you" then she slammed the door shut.
TK and eve shared a glance and both started laughing. an angry yell cut their laugh short as Carmelita yelled "get in or ill leave you behind!"
still chuckling TK climbed into the back seat and Eve got in the passenger seat.
with a screech of wheels they sped out into the city.
