But I'm hoping to post the first chapter of one of those stories tomorrow or sometime within the week if I can.
We pulled up to a parking lot that had two vehicles parked in the center of it. The paint job on both of them was green and gold, the famous Rook's color. One was a truck while the other was a van with the words The Rook's in gold paint on the sides. Mammals with the same color clothes walked around staying on guard. We parked in front of the two vehicles while the guards just kept doing what they were doing.
We stepped out of our vehicle before walking over to the Rooks. Halfway there the mammal we were looking for got out of the truck. A wolf, 20 years old, he had a hat on along with a gauntlet on his left arm. He also had dark blue jeans and a dark green shirt with a hoody shirt underneath.
"Way it's our old friends DedSec.," the wolf said with a smile on his face. Then he looked at me.
"Way if it isn't my old apprentice." he kept the smile on his face. "How you doing kid?" he asked.
"Fine," I said plainly.
"Well, thanks to your friend here," he said signaling to Sitara as he signaled for one of the guys who came over with cloth in his paws. The leader took it and walked over to me.
"I knew you were coming so, I was able to grab the thing you forgot a while back." he said as he handed me the cloth.
I took it in my paws, it had some weight to it. I unwrapped it to find something I never thought I would ever see again. It was my old Kukri, Jacob the wolf in front of me, gave this to me when I first became his apprentice.
"He kept it all this time?" I thought to myself. The Kukri had a normal Kukri blade but with a dragon design in it. The handle was a smooth black and gold pattern on it. My eyes were wide as I looked at it.
"Oh and this," he said tossing something at me. I was fast enough to look up and catch it. It was big enough to fit in my palm. I opened my paw to look at it. It was an old flip lighter with the Airborne Ranger symbol on it. 73rd Airborne Ranger Corp.
My eyes shot open. "So I left this with the Rooks. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME!" I shouted in my mind. "Well, at least I have it again." I thought before throwing it in my pocket.
"Thanks, Jacob," I said in return to his kindness.
"Don't worry about it. But I hear you guys need help finding a lot of kids," he said walking over to the truck.
We stayed there talking about what to do and how to go about things when I looked at the time on my phone. 5:45 AM.
"SHIT!" I shouted mentally.
"I have to go," I said turning around and heading in the direction of the station. Sitara seemed confused but then remembered the conversation from earlier.
"Oh Jack I'll drive you!" she exclaimed running to our van. "Jacob can you drop my lovable idiots off back at the Dedsec hide out.
"No problem." He said not questioning what was happening.
We both jumped into the van she started it up and started driving. We got to a block away when she pulled over.
"Alright make sure everything you don't normally have is in here, we'll keep it safe at the hideout. Make sure you have everything you need is on you," she said almost like a mother dropping their child off at school. I threw everything I couldn't have on me in the back before making sure I had everything I needed.
When that was done I hit the door signaling for her to leave. She took off driving down the road before taking a right. I started running to the station, Luckily Clawhauser was just arriving, he was just walking up the stairs. But that's when I noticed I still had the two hidden blades on me. I quickly unstrapped them and threw them into my bag.
I then started running. "Wait Clawhauser!" I shouted causing the cheetah to turn and smile at me as he held the door for me. I ran over and smiled at the cheetah.
"Good morning," I said as I ran by heading to the gym.
"Morning," he said as I ran by. I headed straight for the gym.
I worked out for awhile before Alex walked in. I was seating in the break area when he walked over. "Hey Jack your parents need us back at the office we're going to look over the case over... again." He said, he sounded tired to be looking it over again.
"Alright, i'll be there in a minute," I said still sitting down. I cleaned myself off and headed to our cubicles.
I walked into the office area with other officers and apprentices going about their business. I walked over to our cubicle to see the three working hard on looking at the same stuff over and over again.
At this point, I had an idea as to how I was going to explain how I found the evidence. I walked up with two folders in my paws and a smile on my face.
"Mom, Dad!" I said loud enough for them to hear me. Their heads shot up their ears in the air. When they saw it was me they smiled.
"You scared us today when we didn't find you in your room," Judy said like a concerned mother.
"Yeah sorry about that. But I have news about the case." I said rubbing the back of my head before laying the two folders down in the open space between Nick and Judy. I opened it to show all the evidence I found.
"I did some digging when I got here earlier this morning, and I found this." I pointed to one picture of the van. "That van has been sighted near almost all of the children's disappearances," I said spreading out the other pictures.
"Nice find but-" Judy said before I held up a paw for silence.
"I know what you're going to say, and yes I do know where this van will be. The route it's taking is here." I said pointing to the route it's taking and tracing it with my finger.
"It'll be moving across the Iron Trail Bridge today," I said with a smile on my face.
"Then let's go get 'em," Alex said ready to actually get something done. Nick had the same look on his face when he shot up out of his seat.
"Fine," Judy said standing up grabbing her radio. "Delgato Fangmeyer we found something gets to your cruisers now," she ordered into her radio.
We got to the cruisers and speed off towards the bridge. We were seating at a light about to turn onto the street that leads to the bridge when the said van drove by. I know because it had the same license plate as in the pictures.
"There it is!" I exclaimed pointing to the van. Judy saw it and flipped on the sirens and Nick hit the gas. He turned the wheel causing the wheels to scream on the pavement as we speed across the intersection we were right behind the van. Delgato and Fangmeyer saw it too and were speeding right behind us.
After a few minutes of chasing the van and Judy screaming on the radio for them to pull over, we were now on the bridge. It was a simple bridge with guard rails and was a four lane road. The bridge went over one of Zootopia's many rivers but the river was blue and clean.
An idea popped into my head, it was an awful idea but it was the only one I had. "Dad pulls up close to it Alex you're with me," I ordered. Nick pulled up close to the van while holding it steady, I called Kion and Jasiri who followed with the god awful plan of mine. While Nick held it steady Alex and I climbed out of the vehicle and onto the roof.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Judy screamed more as a mother than an officer.
"I have an idea. An awful horribly stupid idea. But it's the only one I got." I said in response to Judy's cry.
"Now Alex. You have to aim for the back you and whoever lands with you are in charge of opening the back. Ok." I said over the loud wind and the sounds of the sirens. He nodded in response.
Without question he jumped across grabbing the handle on the side, he was able to hold on and put his foot on the rest. He was in the van and was now working on breaking the lock with Jasiri. That left me and Kion with the driver.
"Alright, Jack! You can do this." I told myself. Before I ran forward and jumped across the gap. I was aiming for the mirror and foot rest. I jumped and I was able to grab onto the metal frame but a part of it snapped causing me to fall off, my foot was on the foot rest but my left arm smacked on the road and was being dragged.
The mirror was still attached to the vehicle. That was the only reason I wasn't in the middle of the road. I was able to lift myself up again and stand up on the footrest. I was on the passenger side while Kion darted the driver and was now holding the wheel while trying not to get hit by the passenger. I pulled out my Dart gun and tranqed the passenger who was a Timberwolf. While the driver was a tiger.
"Uh… Jack. I can't stop it!" Kion shouted from the other side.
"Yeah, I can see that. Hold on, I'll try to reach it through this side." I said. But before I could do anything a car shot across the median and slammed into the side of the car causing us to swerve to the right almost hitting Nick's cruiser.
I slammed up against the vehicle, I changed on while the car swerved out of control. "HANG ON!" Kion shouted as we slammed into the guardrail the van, however, didn't stop. It broke the metal and went flying off the side of the bridge. I started to float away from the vehicle before it was about 9 feet from Alex and Jasiri who were still holding onto the back.
Alex was smacking the lock, it snapped just in time for the van to hit the water. Followed by me. I hit the cold water. the freezing cold water making my fur sway. I started swimming down when I saw Alex and Jasiri open the van up to. I don't know if the kids knew what was happening or cared who was saving them they just started swimming. I had no time to do a headcount as I was trying to get to the passenger of the vehicle when I noticed Kion was swimming with to the surface while he held onto the driver.
I reached the passenger side and grabbed the knocked out wolf, I was able to pull him out and I started swimming towards the surface. The shining light of the sun could be seen from underneath the waves. The shadowy figures swimming to the surface some already to the surface, a few already heading to the shore.
After the long night and after doing that I was starting to get tired, I started to slow down in my strokes. "Oh god, don't tell me this is how I die!" I shouted in my mind. But then I felt the weight start to lift off me. I looked to see another wolf helping with the gang member.
He was a massive wolf, built like a tank, but he also looked tired so we helped each other. We both swam towards the light. Until our heads hit the air, we took a deep breath filling our lungs. Before we both started swimming to the shore. The unconscious wolf started breathing normally thankfully.
As we got closer to the shoreline I noticed Kion giving the tiger CPR with help from Alex. Jasiri was making sure everyone was alive and kicking. We finally made it dry land and Alex helped with taking the wolf away, while I just lay there with the tank. The sound of the water and the city blended well.
I laid there for a while before the giant wolf sat up and spoke. "What? Sorry I wasn't paying attention." I said looking at him.
"Thank's for the whole saving thing." he said plainly.
"No problem, if you really want to thank someone thanks the hyena and the other wolf, they broke the door freeing you guys so," I said waving off his thank's.
"Well all of you did a job and for that I thank you." he said.
"You want to know what my job was. Falling, that was it. Falling, from falling four feet to falling with style." I said jokingly. It made both of us chuckle. That's when a bunny came running over.
"Aiden!" the young bunny shouted as she jumped slamming into his side hugging the BFG.
"So that's Aiden." I thought remembering the kidnaped files of kids on the vehicle. I noticed that Aiden was wearing a blue t-shirt and blue and white shorts. While the bunny had skinny jeans and a yellow shirt on that had a carrot on the front of it.
"Hi there Honey, are you alright?" Aiden asked.
"Yeah I'm alright, scared a little but fine." she said shrugging it off.
"Jack we need you overhear." That was Jasiri.
"No rest for the wicked a," I said out loud in response.
She chuckled "I'm afraid not." she said smiling.
"AAALLLRRIIGGHHTT!" I shouted, more to be random and funny. I stood up and walked over.
"What is it?" I asked as I approached the others.
"All of the kids are accounted for," Kion informed me.
"But there's a problem," Jasiri said kicking a rock.
"What kind of problem?" I asked folding my arms.
"Well seeing on how far we fell," Kion said pointing to the bridge that was a lot higher then I thought it was. "The others can't get to us and there's no way for a boat to get to us, so we have to walk around and into Rook territory." he finished.
"And, I don't see a problem here," I said confused. The Rook's aren't just friendly to me but also to the Police, they don't do any 'illegal' activity, well as far as the officers know. Gang violence has gone down drastically over the years now it's just the Underground Devils and the Rook's, and as we all know the big problem is the U.D.
"Well you see, there isn't. It's just it might be hostile because of the two tag along's." Jasiri said signaling to the two U.D gang members.
"Now I see the conflict," I said letting my head drop.
"So what should we do?" Alex asked.
"Who me?" I asked confused who he was talking to.
"Well yeah, military experience and also you're a captain," Jasiri said with a smile.
"You do know Judy herself is a lieutenant right. You outrank your mother and father." Alex said a little surprised at his realization.
"Fine let's start heading out," I stood there thinking of what to do. "Ok, Kion Alex you guys get the tiger I got the wolf," I said grabbing the wolf's wrist and picking him up. I threw him over my shoulders and did the fireman's carry.
"Alright, Jasiri you're in charge of watching the kids and make sure none of them stray away from us," I said smiling.
"You got it Jack." she said laughing a little as she went to get all the kids who were just talking to each other.
When we started heading to where we could meet up with the other. Nothing bad happened, we were able to get to the others and transport the kids to the station without any problems. But I did see figures staring at us. They were on top of a building as they watched us drive away.
We got to the station without any problems all the kids were inside the building getting check ups and talking to their parents. Well and that's when my parents found me, I was talking to Alex, Jasiri, and Kion when I hear the dreaded words.
"JACK FENIX!" I hear Judy yell my name. It made me flinch.
"Ooohhh you're in big trouble," Jasiri said jokingly. I turned around to see an oh so angry bunny running towards me.
"AAAHHHH WHAT I DO?" I shouted a little scared. Judy slowed down to a walk before stopping in front of me.
"Well let's count shall we, one you jumped off of a moving vehicle, two you almost fell off the said vehicle risking getting hit by traffic, three you flew off the bridge and you scared us half to death." She counted the offenses.
"And that's the worst one of all," Nick said as his muzzle went in between Judy's ears as they stood straight up on her head before disappearing behind them again. Nick made us laugh even Judy.
"But seriously you're not in trouble just don't do anything like that again," Judy said hugging me.
"No promises, but I'll try. Oh, and can you not tell Hailey about the hole jumping from car thing?" I said hugging her back before looking down at her. Nick came over and joined the group huge after a while we broke the huge just for two kids to come over to us. It was Aiden and Honey.
"Hey. Can we talk to you in private?" Aiden asked. At first, my eyes were wide and my ears were in the air, I pointed to Judy, Aiden shocks his head as he then pointed at me.
"Um… Sure." I said. Aiden then signaled to follow him while Honey stayed close to him. I followed him outside in front of the building but out of the way where no one would hear us. He took a deep breath before speaking.
"Honey and I would like to help in the investigation." He said smiling nervously. I was surprised at first but I knew my answer.
"NNNNNNOOOOOO, and there's no debating that. Besides that not even my word to say." I said shaking my head.
"Then who's word is it then," Honey asked standing up straight.
"Chief Bogo, And let me tell you that conversation will be two things. Over before it started, and unpleasant." I said smiling a little at my victory.
"But we want to help," Aiden said getting a little hostile.
"Wow there, calm down Incredible Hulk, if you want to try to go ahead and let me tell you I know it well be no," I said as we walked back into the station.
