Welcome back readers, the story awaits!
I had a smile on my face as I jumped out of the limo and into the dark alleyway they decided to drop me off in. I turned around and luckily caught the backpack that the polar bear threw at me.
It held all the information that Mr. Big had collected on Wilde, and a quarter of my pay.
The polar bear nodded at me then closed the door. The limo speed off down the alleyway then turned onto one of the streets, disappearing from view.
I looked back down the backpack and unzipped it, revealing the wads of cash and a few brown folders. I smiled when I saw my pistol they took from me, I quickly grabbed it and put it in my holster "At least they gave me my pistol back, that thing was surprisingly expensive" I said quietly to myself.
My wrist pad started beeping and I quickly brought my arm up to look at the screen. I smiled as I saw the schematics of Mr. Big's mansion appear on the screen, there were several tunnels and many secret rooms and weapon lockers. The second I saw that holographic hand scanner I immediately had my drone do a scan of the house, but unfortunately that seemed to be the most advanced tech in his mansion.
I groaned then turned off my wrist pad "Sometimes I wonder how these people even function" I say with an irritated sigh as I zip up the backpack and sling it around my shoulders. I start walking towards the exit of the alleyway to my right and I unfortunately come out onto one of the busiest streets in Zootopia; Sahara boulevard. I groan and look around, did they have to drop me off here, like come on. I turn to the left with a groan and start makings way towards my place, but I quickly move close to the building to my left so to avoid being stepped on.
I growl slightly as I sensed a large foot get dangerously close to my tail. I looked back and saw an elephant walking closely behind me "Watch where you're stepping" I growled out, making the elephant fall behind. I picked up my pace and put some distance between us.
It took a whole hour but I finally made it back to my place, it was in downtown rainforest district and was surrounded by foliage, the perfect place. I made sure to deactivate the cameras that could possibly spot my place and I set up several alarms and a few harmless traps around it. I set up my own small cameras all around, and using some scrap that I found I was able to put together a few mini drones to patrol around. There are a few automated defenses with actual guns but those are attached to the house, all in all my place is secure.
I turned off the main road and down a side street that lead to a small bridge by a river. There's a camera overlooking the bridge and the footage showed that the bridge is usually a spot for illegal activity, such as drug trades, so I usually get off the trail there to avoid unneeded attention. I passed several huts and houses and before long I'm walking down an empty path. I continue towards a bridge with a single eerie light flickering over it. As I draw closer to the bridge I stop in my tracks, I almost hadn't noticed it, but there was a can laying on the right edge of the bridge. I growl lowly and quickly tap a few buttons on my wrist pad, which activates the drone's combat mode. It's the same drone that had been watching over me since my meeting with Mr. Big.
I quickly check my pistol as I wait for the the drone to scan the area and as I look back at the bridge the can is gone. I smile and quickly move into the bushes to my left. My wrist pad quietly beeps, as I look at the screen the scan reveals four guys. There are two wolves and two large cats under the bridge, armed and waiting for a chance to shoot whatever was unfortunate enough to use the bridge. I chuckle quietly as I quickly maneuver the drone to their left and line up the crosshairs for a double headshot. They all seem to be tense as they had undoubtedly seen me, so now all that's left to do is have some fun.
'BANG'
I hear the echoing bang and the splatter of two heads echo through the air. I hear the other two scream and start shooting in the drone's general direction. I laugh loudly this time but they are too busy to notice, screaming out of rage and shooting wildly. They shoot until there clips are empty before they start to make a quick retreat.
"OH NO, YOUR NOT GETTING AWAY " I scream out before pressing the fire button on my wrist pad again, another one of their heads exploded.
I hear the wolf scream in terror as he drops his weapon in an attempt to run faster "YOU THINK RUNNING WILL SAVE YOU?!" I yell out into the jungle.
The wolf continues to run "PLEASE NO" he pleads to my amusement. I slowly maneuver the drone and line him up in my crosshairs.
"Goodbye" I say quietly, pressing the fire button one last time.
The bullet passes through his neck and he stumbles to his knees, holding his neck in pain, but it doesn't take long for him to suffocate and fall to the ground. I laughed quietly and looked a little closer at my wrist pad, and was surprised to see the main road, which was only about fifteen yards away and the bullet didn't seem to hit any cars thankfully.
I chuckle and turn the drone's sentry mode back on. I turn my wrist pad off and walk out of the bushes I had been hiding in and start heading towards the bridge once. I make sure to stay out of the camera's line of sight as I move under the bridge to see my kills. Their blood covered the ground and there brain matter and pieces of their skulls were scattered everywhere, and as I got closer I could see them wearing tactical gear
I raised a brow and kneeled down "Why are thugs wearing tactical gear" I ask quietly. I place my hands on the big cats side and push him onto his back, but as I see four big letters on his chest only one word exits my mouth.
"Fuck"
Gunfire erupts as my drone starts to fire like crazy into the forest, I duck down and start to run to the the jungle brush not too far away from the bridge. I hear the bullets hit the trees around me and I quickly jump behind a downed tree as a few bullets narrowly miss me. I take several deep breaths and take out my pistol again.
There are several animals screaming and gunfire echoing through the jungle. I heard a few bullets whizz over the log I was behind but the gunfire seemed to be focused on my drone. I quickly checked my wrist pad and saw about two dozen cops and swat members in the jungle via infrared.
"Shit, I gotta get out of here" I muttered quietly as I peaked out over the tree. I looked back at my wrist pad and taped a few buttons, the drone released a few canisters of tear gas into the foliage directly below it. I tapped a few more buttons and erased everything in its hard drive except for its core programming.
I quickly peaked my head over the tree again, and once I was sure I was clear I bolted into the jungle. Escaping the firefight that was raging on behind me.
_Judy_
Judy laid on her bed watching the small TV in her apartment, she couldn't sleep due to how excited she was for her first day in the force tomorrow, so in order to get her mind off of her excitement she decided to watch TV, but by the looks of it none of the channels had anything on that would help her fall asleep tonight.
"We have breaking news for you tonight, but I must warn you that it is unsettling... A recent shoot out with the ZPD's SWAT unit today ended with eight SWAT officers in the hospital with unknown severity of injuries, as well as four dead officers on the scene. This all happened only one hour ago in the downtown rainforest district area."
Judy gasped and shoot up out of bed, staring at the screen intensely as images of the injured SWAT popped up beside.
"The ZPD had gotten word of a weapons deal between two of the city's biggest crime bosses, but they must have gotten word of the bust and only sent one animal to the location, which proceeded to kill four swat members before fleeing under the cover of tear gas and cover fire from an armed drone, which was shot down later in the fight." the newswomen said.
Judy's eyes widened in shock and fear as the scenario ran through her mind. The news anchors continued to talk but Judy wasn't paying any attention to the TV.
She knew being a cop was dangerous but a thing like this hasn't happened for years, not since the Lavern massacre around 25 years ago. Seeds of doubt started spreading through her mind but she quickly shook it off.
Judy turned the TV off and laid back down in bed "I will not let a few guns scare me!" and with a tired sigh she closed her eyes and tried going to sleep for the night.
_Rocket_
I unlocked the front door as fast as the damn scanners would let me and once I got in I activated all defenses and scanners I had and put the place on lockdown. The front door shut and a piece of thick metal slid over it, the same happened to the windows a second later. I threw the backpack onto a table in the main room and quickly rushed into my control room that was in the back of the house. There was several holographic screens and monitors littering the walls and there was one big chair in the middle of the room with a big computer in front of it.
I quickly jump into the chair and typed in my passcode to get in and in an instant a big red warning sign showed up. I quickly tapped it and it brought up a live feed from the drone, it was still firing away surprisingly but it was almost done, structural integrity was down to 23% and only a few more shots would do it in.
I continued to watch it, for a few more minutes, as it continued to fire away at the police. "I swear the Nova Core has better aim than them, and everyone can beat them" I said with a chuckle at the end. It continued to fire for about another minute when the right side of the screen exploded in a flurry of orange sparks, the feed started to turn to static and I was barely able to make out the outline of a tree before the feed cut out.
"Took them long enough" I said with a frown before disconnecting from what's left of the drone. I closed the feed and checked the perimeter cameras around my house and a mile out, making sure no unlucky fellow followed me back. All the cameras showed just the regular old jungle and by the sound of it the cops were still held up at the bridge.
I brought up the surprisingly still working camera feed that was by the bridge and swiveled it around, and by god there were a lot of animals around. There were red and blue lights flashing everywhere, animals of all sort where scattered around, and the whole area was lit up by the headlights of what I think were ambulances. A small chuckle exited my mouth as I surveyed the screen "If my crappy ass drone could take on the ZPD's swat team for that long (around 25 minutes) then there is some serious problems they need to address" I said as I looked at the images before me.
Suddenly a news report about this very incident showed up at the corner of my screen, and I quickly opened it and waited for the news anchor to start talking.
"We have breaking news for you tonight, but I must warn you that it is unsettling... A recent shoot out with the ZPD's SWAT unit today ended with eight SWAT officers in the hospital with unknown severity of injuries, as well as four dead officers on the scene. This all happened only one hour ago in the downtown rainforest district area"
I laughed quietly to myself as I listened to the news report, reveling in the fact that I made such an impression.
"The ZPD had gotten word of a weapons deal between two of the city's biggest crime bosses, but they must have gotten word of the bust and only sent one animal to the location, which proceeded to kill four swat members before fleeing under the cover of tear gas and cover fire from an armed drone, which was shot down later in the fight." the newswomen said.
My brow raised in confusion before the gears started turning "So that's where all the damn cops came from, and here I was starting to worry that they found me" I said with relief as the news report continued on. Several pictures showed up of the injured officers as the news anchor continued to talk when suddenly another gear turned "You could have killed me ya damn shrew, so you better be impressed" I said with an irritated sigh as I watched the rest of the news report.
