Alright back on track... kind of

If you did not read the last chapter I will give you the short version, Dex and Shira hooked up Shira clawed Dexios' back up... that was rather short...

On another note, I plan to tell you more about where Dex comes from in the next chapters filling in how he can read and all that... so enjoy.

XD

Dexios was glad to get out of the sunlight, entering the precinct it was pretty much empty just a couple officers from other precincts working, Dexios made his way to his cell/room grabbing some fresh clothes he noticed Shira stroll in and pick up his bow, "You can use this, and actually kill something?" She asked tail wagging.

Dexios smiled, "Yeah maybe sometime I will teach you to shoot it," Looking at the clock 1:00pm it was 30 minutes until they were supposed to meet Judy and Nick, "I need to go and shower quick, don't hurt yourself with that," He told her as she was playing around with his bow.

The shower was refreshing and his headache finally disappeared, after getting dressed in faded blue jeans and a red v neck shirt, Shira and Dex went to meet Nick and Judy in the lobby. Dexios stood trying to ignore his rumbling stomach as Shira was chatting to some of the other precinct officers, Dex heard the door open turning he watched Nick and Judy wander in giggling, Nick had his arm around Judy both were wearing casual attire Nick in his yellow Hawaiian shirt grey shorts and a tie while Judy was wearing blue jeans and a plaid long sleeve button up shirt, both of them walked over to Dex smiling, "Hey Dex how you feeling today?" Judy asked.

Dexios grinned, "Other than my head pretty good."

Nick laughed slapping Dex on the back, wincing Dexios glared at him, "What happened to you? Did you hurt your back sparring yesterday?"

Dexios laughed, "I guess you could say that."

Judy giggled, "I'll go get Shira," and went to talk to Shira.

"You should probably let me take a look, you might need medical attention," Nick told him. Dexios laughed as he lifted his shirt to reveal his clawed back, "Fuck... Did you get mauled by a damn tiger."

Dexios lowered his shirt still laughing, "No wasn't a trigger."

Nick took a moment, "Shira?"

Dexios smiled, "Shira."

Grinning stupidly as the girls came over Judy asked, "What were you two talking about, you both are smiling like idiots."

Nick responded, "We were just talking about a fight Dexios had lost."

Dex laughed as he responded, "I don't think there were any losers in that battle."

Shira's tail began to wag, "I want to hear the story."

Nick held back his laughter, "Sweetheart you were his opponent," He added a wink.

Nick and Dexios began to laugh until Shira started to growl, "Assholes," She spits through her beared fangs, as she shoved both of them.

"Easy there Dex is still a little banged up from last night," Nick nearly fell over laughing.

Judy sighed, "You two are asshats, can we just go?"

Dexios felt his stomach rumble, "Yeah I could go for some food."

Nick perked up, "Great it's a date," He said sticking his paw out for Judy who smiled and took it happily.

Dexios tilted his head confused by the gesture turning to Shira who had her arms crossed he held out a paw, "Shall we?"

Shira sighed, "I still think you're an ass, and you owe me..." Reluctantly she took his paw and they walked after Nick and Judy.

The group arrived at a diner after a short walk and got seated in a booth the guys on opposite sides with their dates beside them, Dexios sighed looking at the menu, "What the hell is half of this food?"

Shira smiled deviously, "Do you want me to order for you?"

Dex and Nick exchanged a look of concern before Dex replied, "Sure what do you suggest?"

Shira laughed, "You will see when it gets here."

After the orders were placed Judy asked, "So Dex, do you plan to stay, if so what will you do for work?"

Dexios thought for awhile, "I haven't really thought about staying, and as for work I don't think there is much I can do I'm a hunter."

Nick smiled, "Well you're already staying with Shira so we just need to find you a job, with your skills you would make one hell of an officer or detective maybe."

"What's a detective?" Dex asked.

"Well...erm... They are like hunters... I Guess." Nick mumbled.

Dex felt his tail try to wag excitedly as he responded, "Sounds fun but first we need to survive the attack coming."

Judy turned her attention to the male wolf, "What exactly is coming, and why?"

Dexios cleared his throat, "Well in order to have claim over a territory you have to kill the alpha, I am the alpha so if they want my land they need to kill me... As for what's coming... Savages who are somehow being controlled by their leader I don't really know... I thought it best to get my ass out of there I was wounded and everyone dead..."

Shira grabbed his paw squeezing it, "I'm sorry to hear that... D... Do you think we can beat them."

Dexios looked at her feeling a hollowness in his heart, "No, The way you guys fight you're trapped on two feet, we fight on a combination of two and four."

Shira tilted her head, "How?"

Dexios laughed, "You are faster on four legs to run and dodge to attack on four you have teeth and claws but if you change stances to two legs you can use a bow."

"Can you teach me?" Shira asked batting her eyes at him, looking around Nick and Judy seemed interested in learning such a skill as well.

Dex scratched the back of his head, "Yeah sure." this won't be an easy task... "What weapons do you all have training with?"

Judy spoke up, "Standard issue pistol and baton."

Dexios sighed, "Okay I will need to examine the weapons and find the best way to train you all..."

Shira intervened, "When can we start?"

Dexios smiled, "Well after we eat I was going to do some training anyways so how about then?"

Nick laughed, "Do you ever take a break, I mean tomorrow we start training at the precinct again."

Dexios laughed as the waitress brought them their food Dexios stared at the dish in front of him and then to Shira for help.

Laughing at his facial expression Shira responded, "It's a cricket wrap fold up the sides and eat like this," Shira folded her own wrap and began eating. Dexios followed suit, whatever was all in the wrap it was rather delicious.

The group finished their food and made their way back to the precinct, once their they escorted Dex to the shooting range giving him a standard issue 9mm, a full magazine, eye protection, and ear muffs Nick stood beside him demonstrating how to load and use the gun Dexios took the gun in his paw and slid the magazine in he felt it click in place smiling he slid the slide back chambering a live round, slowly he took aim at the target down range it was a paper outline of a wolf about 10 meters away (32ft) *Bang* Dexios looked at the small hole in the paper he completely missed the chest of the wolf and got the blank paper high to the left, growing Dexios took aim again *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* of the three bullets one missed completely, one grazed the outlines shoulder, and the last one hit the hip, Dexios put the gun down so it was pointing down range and took off his ear muffs, "Clumsy damn weapons."

Judy laughed signaling for him to put his ear muffs back on, she picked up Dexios pistol and took aim *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* Judy dropped the empty magazine and holstered the empty gun Dexios looked shocked at the target the outline had a smiley face on the head of the wolf, "Hows that for clumsy and random?" Judy bragged.

Dexios smiled, "Not bad."

After the range they made their way into the gym and Judy gave Dex a baton, Dexios observed it turning it over in his paw pressing a button the baton extended to 60cm (2ft) it was made of a heavy metal Dexios tested the weight and returned it to Judy, it's just a dull sword and the gun is just a small bow I can do this. Dex smiled his makeshift obstacle corse was still set up from Friday and all the targets remained where they were, quickly Dexios retrieved his bow from his cell/room and returned to the gym smiling, "Care to give it a try? that is if you're strong enough to draw it back."

Nick scoffed, "Sure," Dexios watched as Nick took a stance with the bow and noctedCHECK an arrow, Nick attempted to draw the bow back but could only make it half way.

Dexios laughed walking over, "Breath in as you draw don't just use your arms use your shoulders and back." Nick followed the instructions and was able to draw it back 3/4 of the way before losing an arrow which missed the target by 3 or so meters, Dexios smiled taking his bow back, "Don't feel bad its a strong bow and it's made for a wolf."

Nick wandered away defeated as Shira stepped up, "Made for a wolf you say? Mind if I try?"

Dexios smiled as he gave her the bow and an arrow, slowly she took three breaths readying herself she noctedCHECK the arrow and on the third breath she managed to barely draw the bow back all the way shaking against the weight of the bow she took aim and loosed the arrow it hit the target bottom left.

Shira vibrated with excitement as her tail wagged excitedly, "I hit it!" She gave Dex a kiss on his cheek and his bow back.

Nick commented, "Alright Robin Hood show us how it's done."

Dexios smiled he positioned himself square to the target and noctedCHECK an arrow, breathing in he easily drew his bow back all the way, holding he took aim and loosed, the arrow speed towards the target, bull's eye they all cheered, Nick smiled and joked, "Show off."

Dexios laughed, "That wasn't me showing off."

Shira joined in, "Prove it than Robin Hood."

Dexios grinned, "Gladly."

Dexios collected the arrows and put them back into his quiver as he stood at the start of his course, he sprinted towards the vault table, vaulting over with ease he landed on all fours and ran to the next obstacle a 12 foot wall run once at the top he balanced taking his bow off he shot two targets bullseyes both times before backflipping off and slung his bow on his back mid flip, landing he did a combat roll careful not to loose any arrows from his quiver reaching for the bottom of his quiver he pulled out a hidden throwing knife putting it in his mouth before he ran on all fours towards the last vault board, he eyed up the last target it was 90 degrees to the left of him once he got to the vault board he jumped planting his front paws he pushed harder to the right and dropped his left sending him into an air born barrel roll quickly he grabbed the knife from his mouth with his right paw and once he rotated to where he was facing the ceiling he threw the knife at the target as his barrel roll continued he landed in a crouched position looking at his last target bulls eye, Dexios heard Shira howl before Nick and Judy laughed and joined in the howl.

Once Dex rejoined his friends, "Now that was showing off," He mocked Nick.

Judy and Shira giggled as Nick tried to think of a quick comeback, "WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THIS RUCKUS!" Bogo roared making his way over to them.

Dexios stepped forwards, "It was my fault they wanted to learn how to fight like me."

The chief sighed, "Save it for tomorrow you will all need it, NOW GO!"

Everyone sighed but it was getting rather late and they had training in the morning, they stayed quiet until the chief left, "Well... I guess we should head out we have to be up early, see you tomorrow," Nick said.

Dex watched as Nick and Judy left, "Well," Shira turned to Dex, "Are we crashing at your place or mine?"

Dexios laughed, "My place has a small bed."

"So?" Shira stated.

Dexios smiled holding out his arm, "Shall we?"

Alright until next time. XD
