The white-wooled lamb sat in the prison cell. She wore an orange jumpsuit that covered her body with the exception of her head and her hooves. her eyes were closed. Her fore-hooves were on her laps and her hind ones were on the floor. Her ears twitched at the sound of hoof-steps from the hall while her expression remained plain. She opened her eyes then blinked a couple times. She lifted her head. Her eyes met those of pig cop who stood outside her prison cell.
"I have two piece of news for you, Dawn Bellwether," the cop stated as she proceeded to lift the cuffs, "The good news is that you've been released."
Somewhere outside an unknown building, a red fox in blue bolted out of the water buffalo's arms and landed away from the big prey. The canine looked over his shoulder to see if the buffalo would try to recapture him, but he didn't. The red fox dashed away.
The lamb stood up from her seat. She walked to the metal bars. She lifted her hooves to the small opening, allowing the cop to cuff her wrists. They moved to the door. The cop unlocked the door and Dawn walked out with her wrists in the cop's grip. The door shut once the cop got a firm hold on the soon-to-be released prisoner. They walked through several halls to reach the lobby. Dawn looked over the table to see a set of papers and a pen. The cop unlocked the cuffs and removed them from the lamb's wrists. The prisoner reached for the pen and wrote her name on the paper. That approved the official release from imprisonment. With the pen laid back on the desk, she looked up to the cop as the latter crossed her arms.
The red fox carried a bunch of blueberries as he ran. He approached the well built nest that served as the fox's den. He broke a couple of smaller branches from a large one. He left the small ones on the side of the nest. It was in case his 'partner' joined him later. He ate few blueberries as he crawled into his nest then curled up to rest.
"However, the bad news is…" the cop started to explain with a chagrined expression, "…you have to wear a prison jumpsuit and an ankle monitor for a week or two. Mayor's order."
"If that is so, then I accept," the former mayor's assistant admitted, with her tone and expression firm, showing the cop that she approved the short punishment.
While he traveled through the alley between buildings, the red fox searched for the main target. However, finding the main target was difficult due to his lack of training about searching. But, with his new abilities, he couldn't fail.
A boar cop brought in the box that contained the lamb's possessions, including her purse. Dawn reached in the box to grab her purse and she walked out of the building. Once she went past the gate, she flagged down a taxi and jumped in. When the cab started to move, she made a sinister smirk.
"Thank you…" she mumbled in the silence while the atmosphere of prison around her faded, "…mother."
The taxi cab went down the street and moved past the alley. The red fox exited from the darkness of the alley. He looked and smelled in each direction as he did recognized the scent. Immediately, he snapped his head to his right and snarled loudly.
