Hammerhead

Calypso placed another bite of lobster in his mouth, looking at the two.

"Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?" Calypso said in his calm voice and the two were silent, shooting daggers at him. They were right across the table from the guy and they could not do anything. Calypso had guards with assault rifles at the wall. if the two of them turned violent, the two would most likely be cut to shreds with bullets.

Calypso pressed a button watching the two cars fight as he looked at the two.

"We already ate" Nick replied as Calypso nodded, who do think is gonna win this, Roberts has become a bit of a personal favorite but Hammerhead is the better car, tose big tires can crush most opponents to scrap," Calypso asked as the two glared at him.

"You know Dave and Mike and quite the naturals, since they started, they have been on a winning streak, even I was impressed when I saw them. not bad for a couple of schoolboys. I remember it like it yesterday" Calypso went on.

It was about a few months ago when Dave and Mike were hanging around the parking lot, eyeing the cars as dave pointed to one particular vehicle.

"See, there it is Mikey," Dave said chugging his beer as Mike whistled, she's a beauty, I would kill for a car like that. something big and powerful, maybe even put a kick-ass sound system in the back Mikey said gesturing to the big orange off-road truck. a while later the two were walking alongside the strip mall, stopping at a flyer taped to a fence.

"High Voltage RC contest... win $500... cash prize," Mike said tearing the flyer from the wall slowly reading it as Mikey cheered looking at the store that the flyer was previously attached to

"Kane and Son Collectables and Toys, Toys made for champions," Mikey said reading the sign as the two entered, stumbling around the store looking at the array of collectibles, planes, tanks, trains, and cars. the two stopped at a huge RC in the style of a green monster truck.

"Got, big thick wheels and everything," Mikey said picking up the RC Truck with both arms as the chuckled at Dave pointed out the plate on it.

"Hey Bro, check it out... BIGDICK" Dave said reading the plate as the both immaturely laughed as leaned into Mikey's ear, whispering as he walked off, heading to an older hyena wearing a flannel shirt approached them, asking if he may help him.

"No man, I'm just browsing," Mikey said Dave looked at the Hyena, stating he was actually looking for RC Tanks and would like him to help go over the details as the Hyena smiled.

"That would be in our military section, you looking some old fashion or more modern," He said walking to the tank section with Dave, talking about the difference between RCs with Treads and wheels. as Dave nodded, approaching the tank section as he helps up a Russian tank.

"This one shoots plastic missiles," Mr. Kane said as Dave looked at him.

"You know a lot about this stuff," Dave said as Mr. Kane went on about he came to the city, starting work as a cab driver, he saved up and bought a collectibles store, which was his passion.

"I was an RC champion in my heyday, the vehicles I made where unbeatable" Mr. Kane said as Dave looked at the Tank, before setting it back on the table.

"I'd have to think it over, but I might buy it, can you reserve it?" Dave said as Charlie Kane nodded. saying if Dave did not pay the full price by the end of the week he would have to cancel the reservation.

"I understand, purchasing an RC like this is a big investment, My best customer Mr. Pylac buys all my best stuff," Charlie said waving as Dave as he left the store. After walking around he heading into the alleyway seeing Mikey, holding the green Monster Truck, Dave complimented Mikey on his job on sneaking out while he distracted the old guy.

"Long story short, the two kept winning contests with the Monster Truck, I took notice and thought, why not give them a shot," Calypso said finishing his lobster as he rang a bell. the suited Black ram walked up taking the plate.

"Allow me, sir," he said as Calypso nodded, thanking him as he wiped his mouth one last time. clearly telling the two were not interested in his story.

"I thought you'd be more grateful, you officers have been dying to meet and when I'm finally within your sight you can't be bothered. I thought it would be nice to invite you to this little gathering but you have done nothing but scowl at me" Calypso replied.

"You're a criminal" Judy replied as Calypso playfully gasped, as though he took offense by the word.

"And what Miss Hopps, have I done that you would consider illegal?" Calypso asked as she went on about him hosting an unlicensed event, encouraging gambling, disturbing the peace, using an unauthorized broadcast and possession of military-grade weapons" Judy listed as Calypso sighed.

"I do not encourage gambling, what people do on the side is not my business, and I don't need a permit to host a show" Calypso defended as Nick looked at him.

"You got people controlling life-sized cars, armed to the teeth with guns, rockets and god know what else" Nick defended as he sighed.

"It's better than putting them in the driver's seat, plus what could I say, the audience was getting bored with plastic cars, smashing into each other. my numbers this year have skyrocketed" Calypso defended as he looked at them.

"Let's just agree to disagree, plus nobody's getting hurt, it's all theatrics" Calypso replied looking at the footage seeing Outlaw fighting Hammerhead, before turning to them.

"It's very rare to see a kid in these contests, but that kids got brains, I'm personally hoping he wins this thing, but I don't play favorites," Calypso said watching the Outlaw fire an electric stream which fried the tires off Hammerhead as Calypso winced as he gestured for the cameras as the recording.

"Outlaw is the winner, and Hammerhead will the one heading home, if it's any consolation, you two can help yourself to the bar, snacks are on the house, provided you have your ID ready," Calypso said pulling two names from the box

"Drivers of Crimson Fury and Warthog, please gather your things and be prepared to fight," Calypso said as the video cut out as the three were in the room. Calypso tapped his fingers on the table trying to start a conversation. He casually asked Nick and Judy what inspired them to be officers, being a rare sight.

"Are you seriously making small talk with us Calypso, you lead us here and expect us to make chit-chat like we're friends" Nick defended as Judy scoffed saying if the guards were not here she would use her stun gun on Calypso where he sat and slap cuffs on him as he laughed.

"On what charges Hopps, plus I'd get off. you were so desperate to see me, you came without a warrant. nothing you see here can be used against me in a court of law" Calypso defended as she smirked.

"No need, you invited us here, anything here can use against you, provided we see it, and we've seen a lot" Judy defended as Calypso finished his wine, asking the ram to top it off as Nick looked at Calypso.

"Actually, I would like to talk, how about you tell us about yourself, how you started this whole thing, most of the underworld is afraid of you, Even when I worked for Big, he avoided stepping on your toes. From what I see you're just a guy with a show?" Nick asked as Calypso rubbed his paw on his shirt, smoothing it.

"You want to know about me, I'm somewhat flattered, It rarely I partake in conversation with others. But I believe in being civil, so Why not. No one has really heard my backstory and your pasts have been quite the read so why not whet your appetites" Calypso explained tossing two files on the table as Nick looked through them. Everything about them as they looked shocked.

"It's only fair I go into my story" Calypso smiled looking at the two as he smirked. telling them he was born in wealth, quite the oppisite, and that we worked with his nose to the grindstone to get where he was today.

"Believe it or not, I started out life as a simple farm boy" Calypso explained going into his story.
