A Son of his own Chapter 10: He wanted your candy bars?
Nathan hopped up to the bed as the savage wolf broke out of his glass cell, the alarms weren't going off for some reason.
He walked over the the glass of Nathans cell and preened against the glass.
Nathan stared at the wolf, the wolf didn't want him.
He wanted the candy bars.
The wolf was whining and pressing his paws against the glass while staring at the bars.
"What's gotten into him?" Nathan thought as he watched the wolf look at the candy bars.
The wolf then looked at Nathan and gave him a begging face, he really wanted the candy bars.
Nathan couldn't resist the eyes of the begging wolf, he walked over to the glass carefully and the wolf started wagging his tail and licking his nose as Nathan got closer.
Nathan unwrapped the candy bars and pushed them through the holes in the glass of the cell and the wolf happily chewed into them.
The wolf then licked his lips of the chocolate and looked at Nathan with a happy look on his face.
Nathan smiled back but then the wolf looked down in sadness.
Nathan walked up to the glass and the wolf looked at him with an upset look on his face, he wanted to be with Nathan but the glass wouldn't let him and he was too sore to charge into it again.
Nathan then stuck his arm through the hole of the cell and the wolf immediately jumped to him.
He curiously sniffed and licked Nathan's paw and looked at him with happiness again.
This wolf didn't want to hurt Nathan, he just wanted a new friend.
Meanwhile outside...
After getting out of the water and shaking themselves dry, Nick and Judy made their way down a path that led to a road while Judy called the ZPD. After a while, Chief Bogo and some other Officers arrived on the road, one stopped for Nick and Judy and they followed the other squad cars to the Asylum, Nick had his arms crossed and impatiently tapped his fingers against his left arm while Judy sat behind him and looked at him with a worried look.
"Nick, we'll get Nathan back, I promise" Judy said as she placed her paw on Nick's shoulder.
"I swear Judy, if something happened to Nathan" Nick said as he gritted his teeth.
Judy squeezed Nick's shoulder as she saw Cliffside Asylum in front of them, Nick looked up and his tail was twitching with anticipation.
The ZPD officers arrived and managed to arrest the wolf guards guarding the entrance to the Asylum, Mayor Lionheart was also arrested along with the honey badger doctor and as they were being led out by Chief Bogo, Nick stood in front of Lionheart with a glare in his face.
"Alright Lion, start talking! What did you do with him?" Nick asked impatiently.
"I-I don't know who you mean" Lionheart said.
"Oh yes you do, a fox, 6 years old, only comes to around my hips, orange and black or grey fur, blue eyes, where is he and if you hurt him, I will not be a happy fox!" Nick shouted.
Before Lionheart could deny any knowledge of a young fox that matched Nick's description, the honey badger spoke up.
"I know where that fox is, follow me" the doctor said.
Leaving the mayor in the hooves of Chief Bogo, Nick and Judy were lead by the doctor to the room that contained the savage animals, once they arrived to the hallway, Judy's ears perked up.
"What's wrong carrots?" Nick asked.
"I can hear laughter" Judy said.
"Laughter?" Nick said.
"Let's get inside and find out" the doctor said as she opened the door.
But what they saw next shocked them.
A savage wolf was out of his cell, he was at Nathan's cell happily preening against the glass while the other predators seemed to be calm at the sound of Nathans laughter.
"This is fascinating" the doctor said.
The wolf looked at the trio and didn't seem to mind their company, he looked curiously as they got closer.
"Hey big guy, we don't want to hurt you" Nick said as Judy and the doctor carefully walked past the wolf who was sitting down.
"Dad!" Nathan said as he saw his father in front the cell.
"Nathan! Are you alright?" Nick asked.
"I'm a bit shaken, but I'm okay" Nathan said.
"Why is that wolf acting funny?" the doctor asked.
"He saw the candy bars you gave me and he broke out of his cell, he walked over and whined at me to give them to him" Nathan said.
"He wanted your candy bars?" Judy asked.
"Yeah, I'm as surprised as you are" Nathan said.
"So how do we get him out?" Judy asked.
"Allow me" the doctor said as she typed on the keypad to open the door, when the door opened, Nick rushed in and gave Nathan a big hug while he slightly cried tears of joy, once he let go, he checked Nathan for scratches and found two bad looking taser marks.
"Oh Nathan, I'm so sorry" Nick said as he hugged Nathan again.
The other predators didn't seem to care that fresh prey was in the hallway, they were either to busy licking themselves or having a nap.
pOnce they were out of the cell, they looked at the honey badger who hung her head down in shame.
"I'm sorry about the way we treated you" the honey badger said sadly.
Nathan smiled and said "It's fine, at least you helped Nick and Judy find me" Nathan said.
The wolf gradually walked over and rubbed against Nathan.
"I can't believe you managed to calm down these predators" the honey badger said as she rubbed the wolfs stomach.
"Hey Nathan, guess he likes you" Nick said as he smirked.
"I thought he wanted to eat me but he just wanted the candy" Nathan said as he stroked the Wolfs head.
"Yeah, well thank you miss?" Judy said as she left a paw out for the doctor to shake.
"Doctor Madge Honey Badger and I'm so glad your friend calmed down these predators, they went absolutely crazy until he showed up" Madge said.
"Anyways, I'll make sure your parole in prison is shortened for what you have done today" Judy said.
"Yeah, thank you" Nick said.
"Your welcome" Madge said.
"Maybe now that these predators are calm, it should be easier to get them out of here" Judy said as she looked at a sleeping tiger gently purring.
The wolf started whining when Nathan started to leave.
"I hate to leave too, but keep this as a memory of me" Nathan said as he placed a red ribbon on the Wolfs leg who excitedly wagged his tail and nuzzled Nathan.
The four made it out of the Asylum, Judy told Chief Bogo that the predators are calm and happy so they will be easier to handle.
Nick led Nathan to the back of a police car and they both hopped inside, when Nathan closed the door, he let out a yawn and rubbed his eyes.
Judy got in when Nathan yawned again and asked "How are you feeling Nathan?"
"Sleepy" Nathan said tiredly.
"We're going to head back home, can you get someone to drive us there?" Nick asked.
"Let me ask Bogo" Judy said.
Soon Judy, who agreed to escort Nick and Nathan back home, Nick and Nathan were being brought home by Officer McHorn and once they arrived they hopped into the elevator and arrived at Nick's door, when he opened it, Nathan went in first while Nick stayed outside to talk to Judy.
"Thanks again carrots" Nick said.
"Your welcome" Judy said "But I should be thanking you and your son".
"Hey, I agreed to help, even if I acted like a jerk the whole time" Nick said.
"No more than I was" Judy said as she scratched her head uneasily "But tomorrow, there's going to be a press conference at the ZPD to talk about the case and I was wondering if you and Nathan would come and give me some support".
"Alright, we'll come and be your support" Nick said as he saw Nathan take of his clothes and collapse on the couch "If you don't mind, I'm going to bed".
"Goodnight Nick" Judy said as she walked off.
"Goodnight Judy" Nick said as he closed the door.
Nick removed his clothes and was only in his boxers, walked over to Nathan who was happily sleeping and scooped him into his arms and walked to the bedroom, looking at Nathan's sleeping face, Nick smiled happily as he climbed into the soft bed.
"I'm so sorry about everything Nathan, but I'm glad we got out of this alive" Nick said as he let sleep take over and his journey into dreamland started.
