So, looks like Daniel is now being tracked by Sam Ford and a new wolf names Alex Gray (It's PrinceOfBlades character). I am planning something big for this chapter and will give you a hint. Will Sam and Alex find Daniel OR will he find them? Hahaha stay tuned to find out. Also, this chapter is set two weeks after the last chapter.

PrinceOfBlades anything to add?

Ah the chase continues. Will two wolves be able to take down one snow leopard?

If I know Daniel I wouldn't bet on it. (Little foreshadowing)

One for the money, Two for the show, Three to make ready, Four to Go!

"How in the hell is he so good at hiding?" Alex was frustrated. It had been two weeks since he was teamed up with Sam. They had been working to find Daniel and couldn't find a damn thing about the massive snow leopard. Alex was also dealing with another problem. He was starting to fall for Sam. He didn't know if she would feel about him. She was nice and friendly enough. She was sweet always made sure that Alex was doing well. He looked over and was about to say something when Clawhauser's voice came over the radio.

Unit 357 we have reports of a suspicion person at the Dew Drop Inn.

Dispatch we are en-route.

Alex looked at Sam. "Dew Drop Inn? What's that." Sam looked up and said have you ever heard the song Uneasy Rider by Charlie Daniels? Someone made a bar just like that one." Alex looked up "Ohh hopefully we won't have to deal with what Mr. Daniels had to." Sam just sighed. She realized that this wolf was cute. She wondered if he liked her or not. She clicked on the light and drove towards the Dew Drop Inn.

Upon arriving they radioed dispatch and advised that they would be ready for anything. Alex ran ahead and opened the door. Sam though "Well he is a regular gentlemammal. That's something." She walked through the door and thanked the wolf. He followed her into the bar. He was looking around and didn't realized Sam had stopped. He bumped into her and was about to say something when she shushed him. Sitting at the bar was an unusually large snow leopard. Sam and Alex knew who it was. They started to slowly walk towards the mammal at the bar but were stopped when he spoke. "Hello Sam. How are you? And who's your boyfriend?" Daniel hadn't turned his head or moved at all.

Alex looked up and there sat the now very famous mammal. He asked quizzically, "How did you know we were here?" Daniel chuckled to himself. He held out his phone and the screen showed a police scanner app. "I heard Clawhauser's call. Then Unit 357 responded. That's Sam's car." Alex looked and sure enough he was right. "Daniel, we were given orders to bring you back. Please make this easy." Sam wasn't going to wait. She pulled her Tazer and started to walk closer. Daniel just grabbed the Tazer and dragged Sam along behind it. He stripped he of the Tazer in less than 5 seconds. Alex blinded by the outburst started to walk forward when the massive Taurus Raging Bull stopped him. The .454 cassul was pressed to his forehead. He watched as Daniel thumbed the hammer back. Alex gulped as he was looking at the sides of the cylinder. The rounds were massive. Daniel looked him in the eyes. "I never hurt Sam nor will I hurt you." He was stopped when Zachary came out of the restroom. "Damn I missed all the fun?" Daniel didn't look away from the Gray wolf in from of him. "Grab Sam's pawcuffs and cuff them together on the footrest under the bar."

Zachary looked over at the smaller gray wolf now sitting on the floor. "Sorry sweetheart. I can't change his mind." He put one of the cuffs on the smaller of the two wolves and looped it under the bar footrest. Daniel still holding the pistol to Alex's head kicked his feet out from under him. Zachary quickly slapped the other cuff to one of his paws. Daniel put the massive pistol back in its shoulder holster. He then grabbed Sam and Alex's pistols and Tazers. He set them on the bar and turned towards them. "Nothing personal Sam I just have to look out for myself." He then turned to the other wolf. "You are Alex Gray. New hire but seem to be well at tracking. And you seem to really like my fried Sam. One thing. I know her. She can kill you 18 different ways with a paperclip. If you two end up together and she gets hurt. I will find out. Don't force my hand." Daniel turned and ushered Zachary out of the door. Daniel walked over to the squad car. He opened the door and grabbed the radio. "Unit 243 here. Clawhauser Unit 357 is chained to the bar footrest send back up." He closed the door and the ran to the firebird and were gone.

Sam and Alex point of view.

Alex looked at Sam. "Uhhh not sure what to say but Clawhauser was right Daniel is a regular badass." Sam laughed. "You haven't even broken the tip of that iceberg. He has ore scars and bullet hole then most of the precinct combined. He stopped a school shooting at our high school and has survived a knife attack. He was supposedly killed about 7 months ago. He made his way back after sustaining two .308 rounds direct to the chest." Sam looked out. "If he wasn't totally enamored by one Emily Gibson I would be after him myself." Alex looked over at the now blushing wolf. "He disappeared after graduation for about three years. Then was a moonshine runner. Along with whiskey but Emily turned him to becoming a police officer. "He had to shoot a snow leopard to protect Emily but the snow leopard told Emily one day soon something would happen to Daniel and she couldn't do shit to stop them." She looked over. "He was on a night patrol with his adopted brother James when he was 'killed'. He worked his way back to the city. He kicked in the door to his apartment only to be shot by his brother using his own shotgun. Emily came out after having a dream. She said babe are you ok thinking Daniel fired the shotgun not knowing Daniel was alive. He though she was dating James and flipped his shit. Now he is on the run and we are trying to find him." Alex looked up and laughed. "Damn he is a regular badass. Why didn't we just try and explain it to him?" Sam looked up and said, "Because Emily made everyone promise to bring him in and she wants to explain." She looked over at the door and James and Emily burst in. "Speak of the devil. Can you get us out Daniel set the key on that table." Emily hopped up on the table and got the key. "Daniel used your radio to call for backup but used it like he was in car 243. He called for backup and Clawhauser recognized the voice and sent us." Sam looked up. "I guess he was long gone when you arrived." Emily looked up. "Yea, but nobody saw the Corvette in the parking lot." Sam looked over towards the door "The only car in the lot was a firebird Trans Am. Had the gold firebird on the hood. Put out an APB for the Trans Am." James who had been standing quietly relayed the information on to dispatch. "They have the ecosystem on locked down. No one in or out. They will commence a block by block search. We have them this time." Emily smiled without realizing it she said it out loud. "Out of time. Out of places to run. It's down to this" She turns on her heel and imitates flicking a cape and walks out of the bar. Sam and Alex whistle in a low tone. "Damn I would hate to be a particular snow leopard when she finds him."

James smiled. "She has a very dramatic flair. Well it was good to see you again Sam and I don't thing I caught your name sir." James held his paw out towards Alex. The timber wolf took James paw in a good grip not to strong but not to wimpy either. "Alex, Alex Grey." James smiled. "Nice to meet you. I have just about finished my medical degree and will be leaving soon to work at Rampart General hospital. If you need a trauma surgeon I was the best in my class." Alex stood up. He was taller than James but was shorter then Daniel. He let go off the mammal's hand and helped Sam to her feet. Just as they were about to leave Clawhauser's voice broke through on the radio.

"All officers we have report of a hostage situation. Please respond."

Alex looked over to Sam. He smiled and said. "No rest for the wicked."

In another part of the city a pair of snow leopards here the radio over the scanner.

Ohhh its about to get serous. Daniel has just proven that he is not to be trifled with. Alex and Sam had to learn the hard way but were not to banged up. A hostage situation what could happen here. Emily is the best negotiator so I bet she will have to deal with the mammal. Its about to go down. And a pair of snow leopards heard. Who could they be?

Until next time,

Valkyrie and PrinceOfBlades
