The two got out and were greeted by the warm embrace of the sun overhead. When they walked in the station the cheetah behind the desk was ecstatic that Mathew has returned.
"So where did they take you to?" Ben asked as they got close.
"To the Big villa." Mathew answered the liquor still present enuf to be detected in his speech.
"Why did you drink." Ben asked picking up on the slur.
"Moron broke some stitches and they had to repair them. So that meant numbing agents." Judy said answering for Mathew.
"We need to see the chief now though me and Nick are being targeted by a crime family we need protection." Judy said very anxious.
"Wait what?" Clawhouser asked dumbfounded.
"I'll explain in depth later spots but right now this is our priority number one." Mathew said as he tucked Judy under his good arm and sprinted up the ramp and reaching the top in less than two minutes and running to the door of the chief.
When they reached the door Judy's ears twitched indicating something was going on behind the wood door baring the name in bold black BOGO. After he put Judy on the ground and knocking twice on the door Mathew took a step back he took a breath of air and exhaled it in a drown out sigh. Not five seconds have passed when they heard the booming voice of Bogo through the door. As they entered they saw him lift his head from some papers and putting his pen down his face twitch into a smile then back to the grave face that has been carved into the boss's features.
"Hey chief." Mathew said with a gleeful wave.
"Shut it and sit." He said voice grave.
"Sir yes sir. Me and Judy has found some very dangerous news today. And trust me when I say, it will get worse from here." Mathew said plopping down in a chair.
"And what news would that be?" Bogo asked sarcasm dripping off his voice.
"Judy and Nick got prices on their heads and I do believe I do too. And the family that ordered the hit has it set up like a video game after each level it will get harder. The weapons will get bigger and more dangerous and more mammals will be in each attack until the family is taken into jail, or we are dead. Sir every criminal with the right connections can claim it all they have to do is organize and I dare say it's happening. The question is how do we deal with this. In my opinion both Wilde and Hopps should be sent out and away from the city preferably under false identities until we can jail the entire family." Mathew spoke his voice finally clear.
"They have a hit placed on them huh. And how do you know that this family is that dangerous?" Bogo asked resting his head on his hooves and taking his glasses off.
"Two lives remember. This same family was in my old world and they killed who threatened them or wronged them. That means both Judy, Nick, and myself. Possibly half this city is on their list who knows but these two, they are as good as in a casket six feet under. So please hide them make sure they aren't found. The good lord knows I am ready to put up a fight by myself and will accept my death but they have so much more of a life ahead of themselves." Mathew said not for a second considering his own life a head of him. Then again he has never dared think ahead of the present by more than a month. He has always the one in the most danger.
"Fine they are going to be in whiteness protection but you will have to stay where you are now." Bogo said agreeing with the wolf.
".No problem I doubt they will try to come after me without them present. I don't think I'm on their "to be killed." Agenda just yet." Mathew said with a sigh and lolled his head to one side. "But then again I did kill some of their would be assassins. So who the hell knows but the family themselves." Mathew said looking right at his boss.
"Very well. But get your things together you are leaving for the ZPD academy tomorrow at dawn till your stitches are out you can only go the academic part but I think that after you will be able to really beat out the trainees in the physical and firearm parts." Bogo said nodding.
"Sounds like a plan big guy." Mathew said. "Might as well stay here as I recall I have some reports to catch up on." Mathew said walking out of the room and heading for the break room for a cup of coffee.
"So what's the plan?" Judy asked.
"What do you mean Hopps?" Bogo asked his tone showing hints of annoyance.
"I mean how do you plan on keeping the three of us safe? Sure we can handle ourselves especially Mathew but even he met his match during the caffe shootout. Not only that but the family we are up against got Bellwether's group assault weapons." Judy asked taking care to not offend her boss.
"Oh that. Well I can't say we just left you to do whatever especially now that Mathew is helping keep your fur out of the grave. We had you under surveillance for about a few months and a ZPD officer looking out for you. Yesterday Delgado was shadowing you, the day before Wolfard. Even I am on the streets watching out for you. But we were able to relax just a tic because you've got a killing machine as a bodyguard." Bogo said with a sigh knowing that the best the ZPD had to offer were fairly safe with all the precautions that were taken.
"Chief listen Mathew, he is running out of steam. He can't keep going like he is. He said it himself that he doesn't want to keep killing he can't handle the strain it puts on him. Remember when I had to kill that one jackal a while back. The guilt of taking his life was as heavy as an elephant. Imagine the guilt Mathew is carrying, he's killed so many people. Even if it was for a good cause it is pretty heavy on him. Not only that but he's a good kid and in all honesty it hits him harder than than a broken man." Judy said feeling pity for the wolf.
"I know Hopps. The poor kid is tired. The spark in his eyes were extinguished, just like yours after you killed the jackal. The spark that he has now is one of pure hope. But I can see he's in a quitting mood, hell he might break someday soon but I saw the day he came here he had a iron will that might bend but won't break easy." Bogo said showing a little sorrow.
"Should we have him evaluated by a professional before he put back on duty?" Judy said.
"I was planning to and I think Mathew would agree that he needs the help. Now more than ever." Bogo said looking more saddened by something.
"Why is that chief?" Judy asked.
"The poor bastard died on his birthday Judy." Bogo said looking down at the rabbit.
"Man when you think someone can't suffer enuf another peace is revealed. Nick is the only one who can possibly top his story now." Judy said.
"Okay that is enuf of the sob story, you have work to get done and so do I, now get out of here." Bogo said regaining his stony facade.
"Yes sir, and by the way Mathew has been thinking of getting a vehicle as soon as he gets out of the academy. I believe he said a motorcycle that he will customize himself. Just so you know he knows what to do to that bike to make it faster and more feel efficient than our ZPD vehicles both cars and motorcycles." Judy said thinking it was a good idea to mention that Mathew was also a capable technician.
"How did you figure that out?" Bogo asked slightly interested in the opportunity to have Mathew make all the patrol vehicles that more cost effective.
"I have his personal journal remember. It dates back to his first day at a place called Fort Jackson. He trained as a combat technician and engineer. He even had a friend of his from the marines teach him how to do some things the military didn't teach him.
"Interesting. Now GET OUT!" Bogo yelled making Judy flee the room.
"Um sir we have a situation in the lobby." The voice of Clawhouser spoke over the intercom.
"What could possibly be the matter Clawhouser?" Bogo asked.
"Well you see, there are six armed mammals in the lobby demanding Officers Hopps and Wilde be brought to them and Mathew as well." Clawhouser said before a low voice came over the intercom.
"YOU HEARD THE CAT BRING ALL THREE TO US AND YOU AND YOUR OFFICERS WILL AHHHHHH!" The voice said before screaming in agonizing pain that could be heard even without the system.
Lobby minutes before
Mathew got his coffee as planed and talked with the bear Officer known as Grizzoli. As he left to pick up his folder to do his paperwork he noticed a black bear carrying bag. At the left door stood a group of large cats. Two lions and three tigers each with their backs turned and arms in. At the right door stood two jaguars and two hyenas. All standing by a duffle bag. Mathew knowing this was no coincidence went to the S.W.A.T room and grabbed five canisters of smoke all white along with several pairs of cuffs and headed back just in time to see the weapons be drawn. The cats turned and pointed pistols at anyone in the area they could see.
The four by the other door pulled out shotguns and assault rifles from the bag on the ground and spread out in the lobby. The bear pulled out a sawed off shotgun and held Clawhouser at gunpoint at point blank range. And giving him orders then screaming into the intercom himself. Waiting for the right moment Mathew threw the smoke bombs out and they popped releasing a cloud of white and thickening out into a wall of white then he went to work. He first took care of the bear pinning Clawhouser down by throwing the scalding hot coffee in the bear's face making him drop the gun and in stead couch his face in pure agony. But was restrained by a pair of cuffs holding his paws behind his back. It all happened too quick for anyone to make sense of it. One moment there were 10 armed gunmen demanding Hopps, Wilde, and Mathew. The next they were on the ground cuffed and their weapons on the other end of the room. No sooner did the smoke clear than Bogo was on the floor with half the officers in the precinct behind him.
"Clawhouser! What in the blazes happened out here!" He bellowed but soon caught sight of Mathew picking up different weapons using the bags as to avoid getting his prints on them.
"TURNER! MY OFFICE, NOW!" He yelled. "The rest of you get this cleaned up." He followed as Mathew started walking up the ramp leading to the top floor. He then walked to the office belonging to Bogo and stood at the door. Then Bogo got there and opened it.
"I thought you were going to do your paperwork." Bogo said too calm for it to be good.
"I was sir, but as I went to Clawhouser I noticed some of the mammals in the lobby were huddled with their backs turned. Also they had suspicious bags with them. I also could smell gunpowder and I saw the shine of pistol from a tiger by the door. So I ran the S.W.A.T armory and grabbed some smoke grenades and extra cuffs. Then I popped all the smoke bombs at one end and threw my coffee in the face of the bear before cuffing him and his associates.
"Okay then. At least you didn't kill anyone." Bogo said making Mathew freeze up.
"I will refrain from killing unless I can help it. I will try to be the best Officer hell I will try to beat out any of the records that have been set before. But please don't fire me." Mathew said folding his hands in prayer.
"I'm not going to fire you. I can really use you. Especially now that I know you are an engineer. Listen our patrol vehicles are not that efficient on gas. And Hopps said you were looking to fix up a bike of your own. So here is what I propose you stay on the S.W.A.T team and fix up our own cars and bikes and we provide you with a bike, workplace, tools, and parts to fix it up." Bogo said.
"Deal now I hope I can finish my paperwork." Mathew said hopping from his seat and shacking the hand of his boss.
"Good. NOW GET OUT." Bogo yelled.
"Sir yes sir." Mathew said leaving. He then walked down to Clawhouser and grabbed his folders and got to work at a computer filling out a bunch of papers and writing a substantial report for each incident he was involved in. By the time he was finished it was close to midnight so Mathew decided to just take a nap in the chair he was sitting in and set an alarm for five thirty before passing out were he sat.
Hey everyone first Merry Christmas. And second I've thought about sending Mathew to BunnyBurrows after he has finished his assasintion of the rival family. And after some time there he returns to Zootopia to become a police officer without a record. And when he goes to the quak he gets diagnosed with PTSD and depression. Let me know what you think of the plan in the comments.
