The Unknown
Chapter 3: A New Way Of Life
Fox stayed with Lauren because she promised him shelter & she tended to his wounds. Well now that he was in a boot, he had limited mobility so he had to either follow Lauren around incase he needed something or she'd stay with him. On this particular day is the day after Fox & Lauren met, & she is showing Fox around in her car the little city that she lives in.
"Well Fox, this is our wanna be Hawaii, Shewdundy." "Interesting name, was it named after someone?" "Yeah, a man named Joe Shewdundy. He was a biologist who retired on this island because he said that this was his favorite island for research. Rumor had it that he took care of a few foxes & when he finally retired they came to him with their young because they knew that he would take care of them." "Interesting, when did the rumor start?" "Around the 1800's. When people started living here foxes came up to them with their young expecting them to raise them. They did & so every fox that we see usually come up to us, but if you come up to them they growl & run away." "That explains the fox that I saw earlier yesterday." "Here we are." Lauren pulled in to a Burger King drive thru.
"What do you want Fox?" "Surprise me." "Okay then." Fox laid down in the back seat & Lauren waited for the person to come on the intercom. "Hi welcome to Burger King how may I help you?" "Yeah, can I have 2 crissonwiches with 2 tatter tots, & 2 cokes?" "Anything else?" "No, I'm fine." Lauren drove to the window & waited for her meal.
She turned around to see Fox had fallen asleep in her back seat. Lauren chuckled & then she turned towards the back & got a blanket off the car floor & covered Fox with it. After 10 minutes of waiting, a woman opened the window & gave Lauren her food she ordered. Lauren put the food in the passenger seat & then she grabbed the drinks & put them in her cup holders. "That will be $24.99 ma'am." "Here you go." "Thank you & have a nice day." "You too." Lauren put her car in drive & then she drove out on the street. She turned around & woke up Fox. "I have breakfast Fox." Lauren said as she dangled a bag in front of Fox's face. He looked at Lauren for a while & then Fox grabbed the bag out of Lauren's hand & he thanked her.
Lauren finished her food & then she asked Fox how he was doing. "Hey Fox you finished yet?" "I've been finished Lauren." "Damn Fox you ate that in what 5 minutes?" "Nah, 2 & a half minutes. You have to count the tatter tots." Lauren looked at Fox with a Look & then she continued her eyes on the road. "So Fox how long have you been with Krystal?" "We aren't together, but she kept asking me how I felt about marriage." "Really? She might really love you." "That's what I kept thinking but when I told her I didn't want to marry & settle yet she would get teary eyed & walk off." "Well Fox…yeah she might just want someone to love her. You ought to take her, she's blue." "What does that have to do with anything?" "Well you could have blue foxes or something. Whoa just imagine that, people would think that they're high just looking at your kids." "I don't want to marry Krystal though. I haven't made my mind up." "Hmm, your like me, the more you shove things down my throat the more I will reject it." "Some where along those lines Lauren, but I don't want to lose Krystal though." "Well Fox sometimes you are going to have to tell Krystal that she needs to get off your nuts or you won't take marriage in consideration at all." "That makes sense, but she still won't talk to me." "This is the advice I give my guy friends who have these problems is you gotta ignore a bitch before it gets hungry." "Harsh way to give advice to somebody, but it works." "I know very efficient too."
After a long day in the city Lauren & Fox made it home around 8:30. Lauren got out the car first & she opened the door & helped Fox get down with is boot. "How's the foot?" "It has been better." Lauren unlocked her door & let Fox in the house. She followed him until he got to her bedroom & she helped him lay down. "Okay now Fox I'm leaving to go check on Tommy & Chris okay?" "Alright." "I have a friend that's coming over who thinks that you are a typical hurt fox so can you lose the clothes & whimper & growl like a fox please?" "I can do that as long as she doesn't do anything stupid." "Don't worry Fox she'll love you." Lauren kissed Fox on his head & she left waving at Fox. He waved back & he lay down on her bed. "This might not be too bad to live with Lauren. It's not bad though I would prefer to do things on my own instead of having some one look after me every time she leaves." Some one came to the door & turned the knob to open the door. As the person entered they saw Fox & spoke, "Hi sweetie, you're in good hands now."
