A Son of his own Chapter 14: A new lead
Precinct 1, waiting rooms, Savannah Central, 2:00PM
Since Nick wasn't allowed in the Forensics lab since he wasn't a police officer, Judy told him to wait in the waiting rooms and he did just that.
He sat and waited patiently for Judy to arrive.
The waiting room wasn't anything special, a bunch of chairs and couches, poorly painted walls, a dim light, a scratched table and a small flat screen TV.
A ZNN news report was on, talking about the attack on the conference at the Precinct.
"Before the conference at the Precinct 1 building in Savannah Central could start, a lion reporter went savage for reasons unknown, the conference was to discuss the Missing mammals case but has been cancelled due to the attack, thankfully no one was severely injured and ZPD are currently investigating as we speak" the report said.
Nick didn't pay any attention to the report, instead, he was letting his thoughts take over to pass the time.
As he searched his brain, he found a memory that he would never forget.
The day when Nathan found him under the bridge.
He could remember it so clear, the moment Nathan got frightened, the moment he tried to run but tripped snd sprained his ankle, picking him up and cuddling him underneath the bridge, bringing him to his apartment and treating him as a Dad would, his life became so much happier after that day, the day when he found himself a son of his own.
He smiled as he looked up, he could remember the times he and Nathan had before mammals started to become missing, cooking for him, cleaning him, shopping with him, sleeping with him, cuddling with him, playing games with him and doing other family things.
His train of thoughts was interrupted as Judy charged through the door.
"Nick! We have our suspect!" Judy yelled as she jumped up and down with a beige paper file in her paw.
"Really? Who?" Nixk asked as he stood up.
"A ram named Woolter White, a well known criminal wanted for drug trafficking" Judy said as she showed him the file.
It had a picture of a grizzled looking ram, he had white wool as his name says so, it also had his age, height, weight, eye colour, description, crimes committed and date of birth.
"He's a nasty looking guy, where was he last spotted?" Nick asked.
"Somewhere in the slums of South Savannah Central, he was spotted getting a bag of a weasel I busted a matter of time ago" Judy said as she showed Nick a picture of Duke Weaselton.
"Yeah, that's Weaselton alright, bootleg dealer and God knows what else he does, but why would Mr White buy something from him?" Nick said as he scratched his head.
"Let's find out shall we?" Judy said as she held her paw out.
"Let's" Nick said as he grabbed the paw and the duo ran out the door and eventually out of the Precinct.
Meanwhile in South Savannah Central...
A day before the discovery, when the dark of night took over, a strange duo emerged and wandered around the less civilised parts of the city.
This duo was none other than Nathan and his savage wolf friend.
They carefully sneaked through alleyways to avoid getting spotted but as Nathan studied the wolf, he noticed something odd about the wolf.
The wolf didn't look like an adult, he looked like a kid, around 10 years old.
The wolf that was defending Nathan was a kid, just like him.
That is true friendship isn't it?
The duo made their way down a park walkway and the wolf stopped at the nearby pond for a drink.
Nathan was slowly falling asleep but the sound of his friend drinking some water woke him up as the wolf had to bend his neck to get a drink and therefore Nathan nearly fell off into the water but luckily landed right next to the wolf.
Nathan stood up and waited for his savage friend to finish drinking.
As Nathan looked around, he started to hear a funny sound.
It was an ultrasonic sound only canids could hear, Nathan started covering his ears and cried and screamed.
The wolf took notice and put his maw on Nathan's little scruff and started to run away from the sound, while it was hurting him, he only cared about getting Nathan away and unharmed.
Nathan felt the air rush through his fur as the wolf ran as fast as he could with Nathan in his mouth.
They eventually got out of the park and the wolf set Nathan on the ground.
He looked at Nathan with sadness and affection as he knew he was hurt.
But before he could comfort him, a dart flew into his leg filled with a dark substance, he let out a whine and collapsed onto the ground unconscious.
"No!" Nathan screamed as he ran to the wolf and shook him but the wolf didn't respond.
He was still breathing but he couldn't wake up, he had been tranquilized.
Nathan then heard voices from afar, saying that they captured another savage animal.
Nathan quickly hid behind a bush and waited it out.
He saw his wolf friend being put into a cage by mammals wearing hazmat suits, luckily they didn't see Nathan.
"Can't believe a child went savage, what now?" a voice said.
"We take him to the hospital and we get him checked up like the rest of them, let's go before someone sees us" another voice said.
Nathan watched his friend get taken away right in front of him.
He was now alone.
But maybe, just maybe, if he tries, he may find his father...
This is the best I can do for now, I will try my best to make these chapters longer, this story isn't dying on me!
