Sherry sat angrily in the interrogation room. Her own sister had brought her in! Not only that they said they knew things about Jack that even she didn't know. The thought went over her like a cold shower. Could they know about him being the masked animal? Maybe she was here because they weren't aware that she knew and were trying to protect her.
Sherry's train of thought was interrupted by the entrance of Judy Nick and… Chief Bogo!? Oh crap, if the chief was here than she knew she was screwed.
The chief sat down opposite of her while Judy and Nick stood on each side. Both were offering sympathetic looks but Sherry was in no mood for it.
"Why am I here?" She demanded angrily.
Chief Bogo let out a weary sigh. He knew the girl was a good kid. He had met her a few times when she would occasionally bring Nick and Judy lunch or when they ran into each other at the gym on the rare occasion. Bogo really didn't want her to go through this but he had a job to do, even if it had taken the strangest turn his career had ever seen.
"I'm aware that your very close with a feline male named Jack, is that correct?" Bogo asked patiently.
"…Yes, I'm acquainted with him." Sherry replied vaguely.
Nick snorted. "I think the picture I have of you two during your makeout session says your closer than that." He said chuckling to himself.
Bogo shook his head while both Sherry and Judy shot dagger eyes at him. He decided to play innocent.
"Moving on." Bogo began. "We have substantial information that he isn't…from around here. Do you know anything about that?" Bogo asked.
Sherry was confused, did they know anything about Jack? Anything that she herself didn't know?
"Well, I know he's pretty new to the city, he's only been here a few months." She answered.
"Do you know where he resided before that?" Bogo asked calmly.
Sherry thought about it, they never actually discussed where he originally came from, he hated talking about the past, she didn't want to bring back any painful memories so she had never asked.
"I don't he told me he had a rough background and I didn't want to pry." She answered honestly.
Bogo took a deep breath, time to break this poor girl's heart. He looked over to Nick who handed him the laptop he was holding, after opening it up he typed something into it and turned it to face towards Sherry.
Sherry stared at the laptop, confused as to what they were showing her. It was a video of an empty alleyway, it looked like one of the cities cameras and- oh dear god!
She covered her mouth with her paw as Jack literally appeared from a hole in the sky and landed on the ground in the alleyway.
Jack had literally just dropped from out of nowhere. But that wasn't the weirdest part as the video played she saw he was acting weird, like he didn't know where he was. As soon as he went near the Alley entrance he looked positively panicked. Her hearing picked up on the things he was saying but what made her heart sink was when he said.
"What the fuck happened to my body!?"
Did that mean that feline body he had wasn't his original? He had been something else entirely? If that's the case then the big question is…What is he?
She looked up at the trio and knew that she had seen what they wanted her to see.
"We believe he came from another world… This is not based on groundless accusation, besides the video you just saw we did every kind of background check imaginable. This boy simply did not exist here before those three months ago." Bogo explained as calmly as he could. He hated this part of his job, explaining the hard details to a poor innocent animal.
"He… He lied to me." Sherry said, shock evident in her voice. "He lied to me!" Why would he lie? He had told her everything else but something like…this! This was something she should have known when he was explaining everything to her! Even through the shock Sherry started to think of every possible reason why he would lie to her until it hit her.
Jack already saw himself as a monster, even if she could accept what he had done to survive maybe a part of him was scared that this one fact is what would turn her against him.
She wouldn't have!...maybe after she had taken some time to take it all in. The tears started and she began to cry.
Judy wanted to console her sister but Bogo raised a hoof, they weren't done just yet.
Before they could continue they were interrupted by another officer.
"Sir I have something urgent-" The lion officer began before Bogo stopped him.
"Can you not see we are in the middle of something!? It can wait." Bogo stated angrily.
"But it's about the animal! The one with the muzzle mask!" The lion nearly shouted.
Sherry's heart stopped. An instant later she looked up and saw the while Nick and Bogo were staring at the lion Judy turned to look at her, she had forgotten how good her sisters hearing was and being an officer meant she could hone it to act as a lie detector of sorts.
Shit she may have just blown Jacks cover!
The lion saw Sherry there and realized he had walked in on something just as big.
"Oh! Umm maybe we should discuss this in another ro-"
"No we can discuss it here." Judy stated, almost angrily. Not breaking eye contact with Sherry for a single second.
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!
Bogo and Nick looked over to Judy, both stunned that she was the one making the call until they noticed her staring almost angrily at Sherry, they both clued in that Sherry knew more than she was letting on.
The lion officer nervously stepped into the room and cleared his throat. "Well we were checking the city cameras for any sightings of him, just as you ordered and we managed to catch some footage of him, the footage is nearly an hour old but it's certainly…surprising to say the least."
Bogo passed the laptop to the lion and he began to type, a few seconds later he pulled up the video file.
"Thank you, we'll handle the rest from here." Bogo stated, giving the lion his chance to exit.
Bogo put his hoofs together and stared at Sherry sternly. He had clued into what Judy was thinking just from Sherry's body language. "I won't beat around the bush. Sherry, are the masked animal and Jack connected?"
She lowered her head and nodded numbly. The one thing Jack had wanted to keep secret, the one single thing and she had fucking blown it!
Bogo let out a short irritated noise. "Care to explain why you didn't tell us, or more importantly your sister, this vital piece of information sooner?" He asked trying to contain his anger.
She slammed her paws on the table shocking the three animals. "Because you wouldn't understand!" She couldn't stop herself now as the anger and hurt took over. "He's been through so much and I thought I would be able to give him some peace, just a little bit of peace in his life! You all might not think that's a good enough reason but if you knew about the things he's been through, the hell he's endured maybe you'd understand why that's so important!" She shouted angrily as her whole body shook uncontrollably, not even bothering to hold in the fresh tears from running down her face.
Judy had never seen her sister more upset in her entire life, she'd seen Sherry irritated and angry but not upset to this degree. While it broke her heart to see her sister so torn it made her wonder even more who Jack was and what exactly he'd been through.
Bogo let out a weary sigh. "That's the thing Sherry, we don't understand. We don't know anything about him so how could we? You probably know more about him than anyone else in this city." He wouldn't show it but his heart bled for the girl, the anger he was feeling before quickly dissolved into sympathy.
Sherry finally regained her composure and sat back down. "What's on the computer?" She asked quietly.
"Well, as officer Fullmane said, it's a video from the cities camera system, they managed to capture a video of the masked- Jack?" Bogo stopped himself, Sherry nodded and he continued. "The city camera system managed to capture a video of Jack. Would you like to see it? While I'm not allowed to do this I can make an exception considering the…Bizarre circumstances." He asked, hoping he could finally get the answers he wanted.
Sherry nodded her head. What had Jack gotten into this time?
Bogo motioned her to join them on the other side of the table, she complied and stood on his right, right beside Judy. Judy placed a comforting paw on her sister's shoulder, hoping that she'd be willing to accept it. Sherry didn't swat her paw down so it was a good sign.
They had forwarded the video by an hour but she could see Jack in his black winter jacket, jumping from rooftop to rooftop until a scream made him stop.
The source of the scream looked to be a female cheetah. From her reaction and the fact that blood covered her arm she seemed afraid of Jack
"N-no! There were two of you!?" She screamed.
Jack had grabbed her injured arm and it looked like he was about to hurt her until they listened in and realized he was only trying to help.
They talked briefly until the video took a strange turn for the worse.
"Now can you tell me who was chasing you?"
"That would be me!" an unknown voice answered.
The video showed Jack grabbing the cheetah and barely avoiding what looked like dozens of shards made of bone.
As Sherry watched more and more of the video the more her dread increased, Jack knew who this sick freak was? Was Jack ok? What happened to the cheetah did she make it safely?
What made her cry out "No!" Was when he had been stabbed and pinned to the ground. And the freak began talking. But things became even stranger. The freak sniffed a few times and inhaled deeply.
"I smell female on you."
Sherry's heart stopped. Oh no.
"Not just female…Bunny rabbit!? Hahahaha finally got your rocks off did ya?" the freak laughed sadistically. He said something about his sense of smell before he inhaled several more times and turned his head.
"Savanna Central huh? Hmmm maybe we should pay your bunny a visit… maybe have a happy fuck fest while you watch!"
Sherry held her breath, the freak knew where she was. And what he said. She knew that this bastard was going to hurt her.
They listened on as the freak began to explain in great detail about all the things he was going to do to Sherry. Sherry threw herself against Judy who held her tight, as if she could protect her little sister just by hugging her.
Sherry didn't want to hear this, she didn't want to hear the freak talking! But she paid attention again once she heard him screaming. She looked back to the laptop and saw an enraged Jack pierce the freaks eyes and begin to mercilessly rip the bone tails right out of the freaks back. She was honestly in shock, she had seen Jack eat another animal, but that was for survival…this seemed very dark, and very personal.
They thought Jack would stop at that, they were so wrong.
Jack pinned the freak to the ground and picked up his left arm.
"Hey Ogre… ever heard of Tokyo ghoul?" Jack asked the freak calmly. "They missed a few things when they were making the anime you know. In the original manga there was a chapter where the main character broke half the bones in another ghouls body… "
Sherry went rigged, oh god he wasn't going to do what she thought he was?
"Tell me if that happened to one of us do you think we'd be able to recover?" Jack asked as he broke the freaks index finger. The freak screamed out in pain.
"You threatened someone whom I cherish more than life itself. That alone is the reason why I'm going to fucking break you in half." Sherry could feel the anger and hatred in Jacks voice. While it briefly distracted, and deeply touched, her that he cared about her so much, what he was doing was just cruel.
They paused the video fifteen minutes in, Jack had finished the slow process of finally breaking every bone in the freak, Ogres, left arm and had moved onto his chest.
Nick shook his head, obviously disturbed. "Sherry, I'm not going to judge your taste in guys… but this is not someone you bring home to the folks. Especially yours!" Nick joked darkly.
Sherry knew that Nick was right, she knew what Jack was doing was wrong on so many levels.
"He's been through a lot in his life… from what he's told me he's only been shown cruelty and violence since he was thirteen…it's just how he's learned to retaliate." Sherry knew it was a weak defense, but she had to try. The only reason Jack was hurting this bastard is because he had threatened Sherry. The reasonable part of her brain was telling her how wrong and horrible it was but a small part of it was also telling her that he was doing it so that she wouldn't get hurt.
That small part of Sherry's brain brought her back to the morning she had talked with Jack when they had woken after their…passionate night, and she asked him personal questions, ones to put her at ease. One of them had been if he ever did cruel things because he enjoyed them or if it was heat of the moment.
"Well, it's kind of complicated. When I fight, I fight to beat my opponent. I don't fight because I think it's fun, I fight to survive and win. There have been times where I did horribly cruel things, and yes, even to this day I'm deeply ashamed of those actions. I went through hell to the point where pain barely registers in my mind anymore, getting to that point was hard though and it made me realize how much I don't like inflicting pain on others. If I believe I'm justified in my actions, either through emotional pain or vendetta then I'll go through with it. Also when I ate I acted weird because it's almost like getting high, but eventually you come down from that high, feeling like complete shit about yourself. But even though I've been cruel myself I have never once enjoyed it."
The memory played in her head like a never ending movie, that was the reason he was doing this. The freak had made it extremely personal and threatened what was most important to Jack, and Jack wanted him to know that.
After everyone had regained their composure they continued through the last fifteen minutes of Ogres left side being broken.
They watched as Jack dragged the crippled broken animal by its neck and held it over the edge of the roof, no doubt with those injuries the fall would kill it.
Jack asked the broken animal questions and the freak responded by nodding its head. Things went wrong though as Jack asked for a name, a giant figure appeared behind Jack and the freak began to laugh weakly and pointed with his good arm saying. "Y-your about t-to f-find out."
At that moment the giant fired something and licks electricity exploded all over Jacks body, the screen scrambled for a few seconds before Jack fell to the ground unconscious, thin wisps of smoke rising from his body.
"Jack no!" Sherry screamed out as if hoping he would hear her.
Another animal appeared, a lioness, wearing a very revealing outfit despite the cold weather of Tundra town. They conversed amongst themselves before the freak spoke again
"H-he's got…a-a-a woman." He said
Judy, Nick and Bogo all stopped and looked at a terrified Sherry, their attention was caught by the video again when the freak said
"I-I w-want… her!"
The giant tried to pass it off until the freak screamed.
"I FUCKING WANT HER!"
After a few short minutes of the freak coughing the giant replied with.
"I'll see to it then."
They then took off with Jack in paw.
Sherry stared at the screen for several long seconds, dread filled every part of her being.
They were coming for her next.
Bogo immediately pulled out his cell phone.
"I need a dispatch into Tundra town, I also need to see a representative for our Arms unit, we need special request made ASAP!" He shouted into his cell phone before he turned his attention to the three animals before him.
"Nick, Judy, you do not leave Sherry's side for even a second, as a matter of fact all three of you will be staying here in the ZPD headquarters until we find these masked freaks and take them down!"
Judy was about to protest until Bogo held up a hoof. "I know exactly what you're going to say and the answer is no. I will send in special teams to investigate the matter. I know you Hopps and I know that while you'd rather look for the culprits yourself you want to protect your little sister even more. Wilde I'm sure you share the same sentiments?" He said turning to the still shocked Fox.
Nick nodded his head fiercely
"Then it's settled, all three of you will be in the bunks until further notice, we'll update you on anything we find. In the meantime, Sherry we need you to tell us everything, and I do mean everything, you know. Is that clear?" Bogo asked.
Sherry knew that her information was the difference between life and death for several animals so she agreed. Before the chief left she grabbed his arm.
"What about Jack?" she asked full of concern and worry.
Bogo did a very surprising thing, he knelt down and put his hoofs on Sherry's shoulders.
"Despite what I've seen… I can tell a good animal from a bad animal. And despite the… things he's done, he saved nearly every officer under my care as well as several innocent civilians…. That's why I promise you that I'm going to do everything in my power to bring him home safely." With that Bogo got up and walked out of the interrogation room. He rarely ever made promises but when he did, may God act as his witness, he saw them through.
*Location unknown, time unknown*
Jack managed to slowly pull himself out of unconsciousness, he felt like complete and utter shit.
'Where am I?" He thought to himself as he tried to retrace his steps.
It all came back to him in an instant Tundra town, the female cheetah, Ogre and his threats, torturing Ogre and then a million volts of absolute pain.
Despite the lapse of time and situation Jack was impressed by a new fact, G.E.O.s could be taken down with electrical shocks. He filed that information away for a later time.
He blinked several times to clear his vision, hoping to see where he was. Wherever he was there was light, dim as it may be, but still light. His vision soon cleared and realized he was in what looked like a very large operating theatre. There were clusters here and there of old rusty machines against the somewhat rotten walls. He thought to explore his surroundings but realized he couldn't move.
'What the?'
Jacks heart stopped and a shiver went down his spine as he realized he was tied up. He felt his arms tied together behind his back but his legs were individually tied, Something was sticking into his neck, looking to his right he saw a thin tube connecting to what looked like an I.V. bag on one of those things they hang them on in the hospitals.
He stopped and realized he wasn't just tied up.
He was chained to a fucking chair.
Panic consumed him as flashbacks of his days in hell surfaced, he struggled against the restraints causing the chains to rattle violently, he struggled and did everything he could but they refused to break.
'Shit! Fucking shit!' He thought as the panic increased.
It was only then he heard a noise. He looked straight forward and saw a lone figure standing there with his back turned towards Jack. His arms moving in a slow but rhythmic motion.
*Shiiiiiick…..Shiiiiiick…..Shiiiiick*
Jack gulped as he recognized the noise, it was the sound of something being sharpened.
"Ahhh, I see your awake now." The figure said, his voice sounded mechanical.
He turned towards Jack, He was obviously a male, wearing a full black suit and a silver tie. His face covered by a mask the resembled something out of a bad horror movie, it looked like it was stitched together.
"I would ask you to calm down, but seeing as you have some bad memories from a similar chair I assume that would be impossible hmmm?"
Jack didn't know who this guy was but it was obvious he knew who Jack was, something was familiar about this guy, the way he was acting, how he talked. It all set off alarms in his head but he couldn't figure out why.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Jack demanded through gritted teeth.
The figure laughed. "What do I look like? Some B-rate horror movie villain where I just share my plans with you and tell you exactly everything you need to know to escape? Please I may as well unchain you and hand you a phone to call the police!"
Jack felt the fur on his neck stand on end. He knew this guy, but since the mask was distorting his voice he couldn't place it.
"Hmmm I see that your confused, trying to figure out who I am right?" The figure lifted the mask slightly revealing a large toothy grin. "Will this help jog your memory?" A deep voice asked Jack
Jacks whole body went cold and he began to shiver in fear as he realized who this man was. His panic began to reach new heights.
"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! I KILLED YOU! I-I-I-"
"Left me for dead, right?" The figure stepped forward and completely removed his mask. He was a lion, tall, bulky and with a sadistic glint in his eyes. He pulled out a pair of large clippers and snipped them together.
"Hello Jack, It's been awhile."
Jack's whole body shook so violently that the chains began to rattle, there was no doubt about who this was.
"K-K-K-Kane!" He finally managed to stutter out.
It was him, it was the bastard, the very same man who had made those four months of Jacks life a living hell. But how was he here? More importantly how the fuck was he still alive!?
"I see you're confused." Kane said as he observed the changes in Jacks facial expressions. "But don't worry." He said as he walked closer towards Jack, slowly snipping his clippers.
*Snip*
"We'll have all the time."
*Snip*
"In the world."
*Snip*
"To catch up."
*Snip*
Kane grabbed Jacks leg and held it in place as he brought the clippers closer to Jacks toes. Jack began to panic until he realized he was so desensitized to the pain he'd be able to get through this no pro-"
*SHLICKRUNCH*
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Jack threw his head back and howled out in pain as his big toe was painful sliced off.
It hurt! It really fucking hurt! Why the fuck did it hurt so bad!?
"You look confused Jack."
*SHLICKRUNCH*
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Jack screamed and moaned from the agony.
"It's thanks to that little needle in your neck. I figured out that since poisons were a onetime deal only for you."
*SCHLICKRUNCH*
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
"That I would only need to keep injecting you with a new poison every day!"
*SCHLICKRUNCH*
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHAAAAAAAAAH!"
"And they all have the same effect."
*SCHLICKRUNCH*
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGH!"
"They increase the level of pain you feel by a hundred times the usual amount. So don't worry." Kane said as he picked up Jacks other foot. "We'll be able to have a lot of fun together for weeks to come!"
