p style="text-align: center;"Mystery Cub Chapter 4: Vengeance and a new case

Spectre6 here, I want to thank you guys who tune in as this story has hit over 700 views! I never thought that many people would read this and I am so surprised. This story shall begin but first, disclaimers.

I don't own Zootopia and whatnot.

James Wolford was on patrol in Sahara Square on the lookout for any suspicious activity. He kept thinking about Luke, how he was doing and how he felt after a brutal attack.

James pulled up at a traffic light and waited for pedestrians to cross.

But something caught his eye.

3 lions, 2 wolves and a polar bear in their teenage years walking into an alleyway.

After hearing Luke's story, James wanted to avenge his son, make the animals who made his son suffer pay for their actions.

He pulled up near the alleyway and got out his human made Taser rifle from H corp, an advanced human ran technology corporation.

"This is squad car 142, possible assaulters spotted on Sandpaw 3rd street alleyway, moving to intercept" James said into his police radio.

"Will back up be required?" Clawhauser responded.

"There are 6 of them, hold back up until further notice" James said.

He got out of the car, locked it and followed the teenagers into the alleyway.

Luke's point of view.

As they continued their tour of the Precinct, the tour group reached the bullpen.

"This is the bullpen, where all the officers get there assignments for the day" Officer Stripes said as he marched around the room with the kids in tow.

Luke looked in amazement at the room, "So this is where Dad went" is what he thought.

"Hey, you still with us?" Stripes said.

"Sorry, zoned out a little" Luke apologised.

"That's okay, just keep up with the group" Stripes said.

Luke nodded and caught up with the group.

"Okay kids, that completes the tour of the Precinct 1 building, I hope you enjoyed, if you have any questions you may ask Clawhauser at reception and don't forget to visit the gift shop!" Stripes said happily as the group walked into the waiting room.

"Please wait here until a guardian comes to pick you up" Stripes said as he left the room.

Some kids got back to their clapping games while others talked.

Luke sat on the small couch and his human thoughts made him zone out.

"There is something else at play here, something that this city doesn't want, the Nighthowler flowers are returning" Luke's thoughts said.

When the human mind evolved, a heavenly voice warned it's user of danger, making humans hyper sensitive to their surroundings but at a young age, it starts to develop and the child becomes more aware of the environment.

Luke gasped at the thought of nighthowlers, that incident made humans lose a lot of support as animals thought that the sight of humans made a predator fo savage but the savage predator would cower in fear at the sight of a human. After the flower was discovered as the cause, humans decided to isolate themselves until the heat died down as animals would always accuse them for their problems.

"Hey, you alright?" Jasmine asked.

"Hm? Yeah, Im fine, just caught up in my thoughts is all" Luke said.

"Well, my aunt is here to pick me up, I hope to see you again Luke, I like you" Jasmine said as she gave Luke a soft kiss on the cheek.

Luke started blushing heavily after the soft kiss, he felt so embarrassed.

"See you later Luke!" Jasmine said as she left the room.

Luke started feeling a little funny, he had butterflies in his stomach.

"Is this what love feels like? It feels so weird!" Luke thought.

Interrogation room

"No, no this isn't possible! How can those wretched flowers be coming back?!" Nick shouted after hearing Bishops response.

"Stay with me officers, now when I was scouting the area I saw that metal box and I instantly knew it was a bomb, but here's something else, the ones pulling the strings used the bomb as a diversion to transport the flowers into the city, I don't know where but all points point somewhere in Tundratown" Bishop said.

"How do you know all this?" Judy asked.

"Human instincts Officer, Human instincts" Bishop said.

"Well this guy is a witness to a big case, what do we do with him?" Nick asked.

"We should keep him here and tell the Chief of our new discovery" Judy said.

"Well, I'm always here if you want to ask questions but don't push your luck" Bishop said.

"Acknowledged" Nick said.

The two officers left the room and let out a deep breath, that interrogation was a lot to take in.

"We have to keep this a secret, the public will go crazy once they find out about this" Nick said.

"I know, but let's hope this doesn't get out of hand" Judy said.

Sandpaw 3rd street alleyway

"Remember that little wolf with a human brain?" One of the lions said as his friends laughed.

"Oh yeah, I had a fun time with him on the receiving end of my privates!" the wolf who raped Luke said.

"This was just the icing on the cake, but when we see him again, it will be much worse" the lion in charge said.

His friends cheered and laughed, each of these actions angered Wolford.

He had found the animals that made his son suffer badly, he was not going to let them go that easily.

"ZPD! Put your paws in the air!" James shouted as he stretched out the Taser rifle barrel and the rifle emitted a blue glow, indicating the arcs were ready to shoot their targets.

The gang instantly froze and stood in place and faced the officer.

"Officer we didn't do anything wrong!" the polar bear said.

"Don't fill me with your lies! I know what you did and you are going to pay!" James shouted.

"What are you talking about?!" one of the lions said.

"I know that you assaulted an innocent pup! That can lead up to 10 years in jail!" James shouted.

"Fine, you got us, but that wolf deserved it, he doesn't belong here, he is nothing and he will be nothing, no one will love him and he will die knowing that his life was nothing but pain" the lion in charge said.

Wolford looked at the badges that the teenagers were wearing, they were the letters HEF in bold red.

"No he isn't! I found him badly injured, crying, alone that alleyway and he told me who done this to him, all points lead to you fools, since you are resisting arrest, what's that human quote? Oh yeah, you're stunning!" James said as he shot an electric arc at the gang.

The arc hit the polar bear and spreaded to the other animals, they all chattered and danced as their fur stuck up, they then collapsed on the ground, knocked out by electricity.
"Wow, this is actually very well made, thank God for human technology" James said to himself.

"This is Officer Wolford, I subdued the offenders but there are 6 of them, requesting another transport"

"Copy, another squad car has been alerted to your position, standby"

James cuffed Luke's assaulters and muzzled them as well. He knew Luke would be happy that his attackers were caught by his new dad.

"You mess with my son, you mess with me" James said to the unconscious assaulters.

Back at the Precinct...

Luke sat quietly in the waiting room, a few officers looked in and left Luke to his own business but one officer didn't.

"Hey kid, anyone coming to collect you?" Nick asked as he walked into the waiting room.

Luke remembered when he shouted at Nick, he hoped Nick didn't recognise him.

"Yeah, my dad when he is finished his shift" Luke said.

"Wait, are you James Wolfords new son?" Nick asked.

"Yes, I am" Luke said.

"He told me what happened, a bully incident, Im sorry about what happened" Nick said as he walked over to Luke.

"It's okay, I should've seen that fight coming but I didn't" Luke said.

"I've never seen you before, back when I was a confox, I never saw you around" Nick said.

"Well, let's say the routes I took to get around are secret, how about that?" Luke said.

"Secret? As in?" Nick asked.

"Aren't you nosy? You may or may not know but under the streets there are tunnels made thousands of years ago by humans for storage or to hide from The Harbingers during The Great War, very little mammals know of them and I know of them" Luke said.

"Hm, I should check that out in my free time" Nick said.

"You'll be wasting your time, the entrances to the tunnels are hidden in plain sight but they are not found easily, one of them is near the Train station close to the Precinct which is an abandoned apartment, don't tell anyone I told you" Luke whispered.

"I'll take your word for it, Wolfords shifts have been shortened so he should be back soon" Nick said.

Luke then let his thoughts take over, he imagined a place, a meadow of yellow grass, a sapphire blue sky, an oak tree, a place of peace and zen. He imagined a soft harp being played, serenading the nature in the vision.

Nick notices Luke's behaviour and waves in his eyes.

"You still with me?" Nick asked.

"Yeah, sorry, I get caught in my thoughts sometimes, I have a very wild imagination" Luke said.

"I imagine you do, here I have to go now before Judy gets cranky, you stay here until your dad comes okay?" Nick said.

"Okay" Luke said.

Luke wasn't feeling like himself, he felt different and it made him uncomfortable. He sat on the couch, using his thoughts to pass time.

Judy then walked in and waved to Luke.

"Hey little guy, what are you doing here?" Judy asked in a happy soft tone.

"Waiting for my dad" Luke said.

"Your dad, what's his name?" Judy asked as she sat beside Luke.

"James Wolford, he's a police officer just like you" Luke said.

"Wait, are you his son?" Judy asked excitedly.

"Yes, I am his son" Luke said.

"He told me what happened, I'm sorry what they did to you" Judy said as she held Luke's paw.

"I know, it's just why me? I didn't do anything wrong" Luke said.

"Some animals don't like kids, maybe that's why" Judy said.

"They were teenagers" Luke said.

"Probably on drugs then I guess" Judy said.

Luke stayed silent and thought of the peaceful meadow.

"Anyways, I have to go, you stay here alright?" Judy said.

Luke nodded and Judy left the room.

Back in the alleyway...

Wolford helped the rhino guard put the unconscious assaulters in the back of the prison van and waved him goodbye.

"Nearly 4:00pm, should probably get back to Luke and take him to the hospital for a check up, the Chief is giving me 3 days off to get some time with Luke" James thought as he got into his car.

His phone vibrated which was in the glove box, he opened it and grabbed it.

It was a text from Nick.

"Hey Wolfie! Just met your son, he's a nice kid. He zones out sometimes but I won't ask why. You take care of him you hear?" the text read.

"Sure, I will get him checked at the hospital when I pick him up from the Precinct so dont you worry" James texted back.

James then thought about Luke's injuries, the amount of pain would require a brain scan! The doctors would see Luke's human mind!

James started to panic, he couldn't let anyone learn about Luke's secret, if they knew, Luke would get locked up or sent to a lab.

He hoped for a miracle. But Luke's skull has other ideas...

Hey guys! Well Luke has been avenged. His attackers were subdued by the brave Wolford, I hope you are happy now. Luke has to go to a hospital in the next chapter, what will happen? Wait and find out! Leave a review down below to tell me how I am doing and I will take your advice. Don't forget to fave and follow and I will see you next time. Spectre6 signing off.
