I apologize for any grammer mistakes.
Landing on top of the perfectly rounded log that was sitting on the metal grate, a small cloud of black soot rose up, Yakko peaked his head out of the fireplace. His white fur stained black and his black fur stained darker, once making sure that no one had heard him; Yakko put a soot covered foot out of the fireplace then the other, pausing after each step to make sure no one was around, and started to walk forward a little before stopping. Looking down, Yakko noticed that he was leaving black footprint across the pearly white tiled floor. Looking up, Yakko took in the living room décor and made a face. Above the fireplace, that he just came out of, was a old fashioned painted portrait. The portrait had a gold frame with curvy engravings and the portrait itself had three figures with a black background. The first figure was a man with a serious look on his face, he was a red fox with black tipped ears and gold colored eyes. He was dressed in a black business suit with a red tie and in his right breast pocket was a red rose with a single dark green leaf.
The second figure was a woman with a serious look on her face, she was a rare black fox with blue-grey eyes. She wore a royal blue strapless dress that hugged her chest and upper body with a blue rose tied around her throat. In her arms was a baby red fox wrapped in a dark purple blanket. The baby was looking at the camera with a happy face; its pale yellow eyes showed only childish happiness, the only emotion shown in this portrait. Next to the fireplace was a tarp that seemed to have covered multiple portraits. Lifting the tarp, Yakko looked at the portraits and was surprised that Dot was in it. In the first portrait, the couple were older but, were dressed and positioned the same with Dot wrapped in a pink blanket and she was sleeping. In the 2nd and 3rd portrait, Dot was awake but had an upset face with tears threating to leak out. And in the last portrait, she was full out bawling, and the couple, usually stone faced, had a confused and disturbed look. 'I guess they decided to have Dot sleeping so, no one will ask why Dot is crying or is about to cry. WAIT a minute…Where did the other baby go?' Yakko looked through the four portraits again and each portrait didn't show the baby that was in the portrait over the fireplace. Pausing to think about what does that means before pushing it to the back of his mind. The living had two white loveseat couches across from the other and in between was a big red chair. All of the furniture was sitting on top of a white rugs with a dark cherry wood coffee table.
Taking in a breath, Yakko noticed that the house smelled and tasted…clean. Clean like a hospital. A little put off by the portraits and the house smell, Yakko quickly ran to the center of the house. Since most nursery were commonly placed in the center, away from any entrances, and are easy to have access to. Running down a hallway, pasting all of the landscape pictures that decorated the wall. The golden framed pictures rested against the wooden wall that met the wood looking tile floor. Coming upon the first door, Yakko opened it quickly and took a quick look. It was a study room but, Yakko didn't pause to take in the décor. He was on a mission. Yakko looked into the next room which all yield the same result until he finally came to the room that held Dot. The walls were painted a sterile white with dark brown carpeted floors and a fans lights flickered on. Off to the side was a changing station, sturdy and brown, with a silver trash can beside it and a dark brown dresser. On the other side was Dot's crib, creeping slowly forward, the floorboards creaking underneath him, he reached the crib and looked inside. Inside the crib, was a small mattress surrounded with pink blankets and pillow, laid Dot in an unrestful sleep.
She start the fidget in her sleep, making grumbling noises. Reaching his arms into the crib, Yakko picked Dot up and held her tightly to her chest. He whispered, "Sorry for the wait Dot. But all that matters is getting you out of here and finding a place to live." Grabbing the blankets and pillows, Yakko put them in his space for later use and walked out of the room with Dot in his hands. He never noticed the beeping red light when he put his hands into the crib to pick Dot. And walked to the front door.
A few minutes before Yakko took Dot
'Bored…Bored…I'm so bored…Maybe I should go in. No! Yakko told me to stay and I am! But its boring out here…' Wakko, lost in his thoughts, almost missed the sound of a car pulling up. Looking through the open spaces in the steps, he noticed the black SUV car with tinted windows and lights on top. On the side of the car read 'POLICE', two police officers stepped out of the car. The first was a tan bobcat in a dark blue button shirt and black pans. He wore dark sunglasses over his eyes with a gun holster on his left hip. 'The sun isn't out so why is he wearing those sunglasses' The second was a grey wolf in the same uniform but didn't have the sunglasses on.
Turning to his partner and spoke in a tired voice, "Really, why are you wearing those sunglasses? Its night time if you couldn't tell." The wolf looked like he just wanted to hit his partner
The bobcat sent a glare at his partner and snarked out, "I know that smart guy, but the sunglasses make me look cool and bada**." He had a
The wolf just raised an eyebrow and decided not to care anymore. The bobcat asked, "What are we doing here?"
The wolf sighed and replied, "We are here because this couple's house alarm went off for some reason or another and we are suppose to make sure that nothing is wrong. Man this is a pain. I minute your investigating a homicide and the next, your on alarm duty."
The bobcat replied, "At least its not parking duty, man that's the worse and besides this is easy work compared to trying to find a murderer." The wolf made a noise of agreement and they walked towards the house.
'Oh no, I've got to tell Yakko. How did Yakko get in again? Oh yeah he went in from the chimney but I can't do that. Maybe a can go in through the back way or window.' Wakko slowly crept from his place behind the step to the back of the house, all the while he was looking for an open window. Reaching the back door he noticed the dog door. 'I hope that they left it unlocked.' Pushing on the door gently, Wakko was delighted when it was open and thanking his small size; he crawled through the door and ran to the center while yell whispering for Yakko. "Yakko, Yakko can you here me? Yakko I need to tell you something!", Wakko yelled whispered.
"Wakko? What are you doing here?", Yakko asked. "Never mind, come here I got Dot. Now we need to leave now." Wakko looked at Dot in Yakko's arms and smiled. He got his sister back and Yakko was going to keep them together. But then Wakko remembered the reason he entered the house.
"Yakko, we can't go out the front door.", Wakko yelled to Yakko. Yakko looked confused and asked why. Wakko answered back, "I saw two police officers outside taking about some alarm being set off and that they are coming to see it." Yakko face was drained of color and suddenly grabbed his arm and ran toward the way Wakko came from. Bursting from the back door, they ran across the backyard to the fence and Yakko helped Wakko over the fence before jumping over himself. Quickly they ran into the darkness, hoping to not have been seen.
Police officers
While the bobcat was inside the house, combing around to see if anything was wrong. The wolf had just came around the side of the house and spotted Yakko jumping the fence. Running to the fence and looked over, the wolf didn't see anything in the distance and decided to get his partner and tell him what he saw. About to walk to the front of the house, he saw that the back door was open and walked into the entrance. He yelled, "Hey David, no ones here; I saw the kid that set off the alarm but he is long gone. I couldn't catch him, what did he take anyway. Something expensive like a necklace or something." Waiting for his partners response but became worried when the bobcat didn't answer him. He started to yell, "David, hey David you all right? David!" Finally a voice answered him.
"Yeah, I'm alright but you might want to take a look at this.", David replied. Sighing in relief, the wolf walked toward the direction David's voice came from. He walked into what seemed to be a nursery and saw that David had a serious look on his face.
"Hey, what's wrong?", he asked.
His partner turned to him and said, "We need to file a kidnapping. The baby that was here is gone and there is no trace of what happened."
"What do you mean a kidnapping? How do you know this?", the wolf asked.
David answered, "Steve, this is a nursery and the crib, where the baby was sleeping, is empty and not to mention that the crib looked like a baby was sleeping in it. I don't know why so person might kidnap a kid. Hey, you said that you saw someone. Maybe that's the kidnapper but the only question that remains is why would they kidnap the kid."
Steve said, "Yeah, I saw him. He looked about 12-13, he was pretty tall and had black fur. And he wore brown pants with a black belt and blue shirt and no shoes. You know its weird. The kid didn't look like any animal I've ever seen before and he must be inhuman or something because he jump over a 6ft tall fence."
David looked put off, "Maybe, anyway, why would a kid want to take a baby? Maybe the kid wants to see of a rich couples baby to get some cash or is a killer. But he seems a bit younger to do anything like that but we can't rule anything out just yet. Let's call the couple and tell them that their baby is gone. And see who would have a motive to take a baby." Steve nodded and pulled out his cell phone and dialed the number.
"Hello, is this Mr. Redfox?", Steve asks.
A cold voice answers back, "Yes, who is this?"
"This is the police, your home was broken into. Nothing expensive was stole but your baby was taken. The perpetrator was a young boy, do you have any idea as to why he would want your baby?", Steve questioned.
Mr. Redfox replied, "No idea, we are just hardworking people whom haven't done anything to anger anyone. I hope you find that kid and get our baby back." Then the phone went dead.
Looking at his phone in shock at the dismissal, Steve turned to his partner and said, "I don't know what to think anymore. The dad didn't sound worried or nervous that his daughter was stolen and a kid just took a baby. I honestly don't know what to think anymore. Let's just file it and go from there." David nodded and together they left the house, making sure to lock the doors, got into the car and drove away.
Meanwhile
After what seemed to have felt like hours of running, Yakko slowed down and took in the area. They seemed to have run into a forest and luckily came across a cave. Giving Wakko Dot and telling him to stay put until Yakko tells him to; Yakko entered the cave with his hammer raised. Slowly he looked around the cave to see…nothing. All that was in the cave was rock walls, that's it. Walking to the mouth of the cave, Yakko yelled, "Okay Wakko the close is clear. You can come here." Hearing Wakko soft footsteps against the forest floor, he reached out and grabbed Wakko shoulder and lead Wakko into the cave. Telling Wakko to stay there.
Yakko took all of the pillows and blankets that he took from where Dot was and formed it into a nest sort shape. He placed Wakko, who is holding Dot, in the middle of the pile and got behind him. Pulling them to his chest and wrapped his arms around them, and finally felt complete. He let out a happy sigh and saw that Wakko was getting sleepy but was trying to fight it. Placing his gloved hand over Wakko's eyes and said, "Go to sleep Wak, we are safe here and I'm here to protect you."
Wakko asked, "Yakko, will you and Dot still be here when I wake up?" Yakko looked down and said to Wakko.
"Wakko, I promised that Dot and I will be here when you wake up. Don't worry any one that tries to take you will have to go through me first.", Yakko promised. Yakko pulled one of the blankets over them and started to fall to sleep.
Morning
"Yakko...Yakko...Yakko", a voice called his name. Opening his eyes to the brighten cave, he noticed that Wakko was barely awake and that Dot was fully awake. The blanket had fallen off of then sometime during the night, though the air was a comfortable temperature. Looking down to make sure his siblings were fine. Closing his eyes for a second before, "Yakko". Yakko's eyes popped open.
He looked to Wakko and asked, "Why are you calling my name, Wakko?"
Wakko looked confused and replied, "I'm not saying your name Yakko." Yakko wasn't convinced. "Yakko." Seeing that Wakko's mouth didn't move when his name was called, he turned to Dot and asked, "Dot, did you say my name?"
Dot opened her little mouth and giggled before saying happily, "Yakko, find Dot. Yeah!"
The brothers looked shocked, Yakko then smiled and said, "I'm Dot first word. OMG, I'm her first word. Her first word Wakko. Can you believe it?" Wakko didn't looked impressed.
"Yeah, and so what. I can speak in full sentences.", Wakko grumbled out.
Yakko looked shocked before remembering that younger childern don't understand or react well when a baby says or does something that they can do and are given some attention for such tasks. Yakko explained to Wakko, "This is an important mile stone for Dot in her life. She is learning to talk which is very important in communicating with other around her and us. And I know that this might seem unimportant to you but, give Dot some slack. She learning and soon you'll get to be her big brother. And besides your first word was my name too which I feel is a great honor." Wakko looked like he understood what Yakko was trying to explain to him.
"Okay Wakko, I'm going to leave to find food. I want you and Dot to stay put and be silent so you don't attract anything's attention. I shouldn't be more than an hour. I'll be back soon and remember tay put and be silent. Bye Wakko. Bye Dot.", Yakko told as he walked to the mouth of the cave and went off to search for food.
