Chapter 3: You're such a good boy

The next day

Jet was out on a busy street full of shops and restaurants trying to steal more essential items for himself while having his hood over his head as cover. There was a lot of people roaming about on the sidwalk and Jet manages to pickpocket 3 wallets and stuff them into his hoodie pocket. Again Jet does not feel bad at all on stealing.

Later in the afternoon, The 4 year old wolf pup was coming out of a convenience store after stealthly shoplifting two candy bars. Jet takes off his hood showing his face deciding that he has stolen enough items to support himself for the week. He was about to leave to go back to his subway hideout when his eyes landed on a well dressed adult female anthro red fox who walked passed him.

Jet looked at the red fox seeing her as another potential target for pickpocketing. What Jet didn't know is that he happened to be looking at Diane Foxington the newly elected and well respected governor.

Diane was wearing her usual grey business suit over a white collared shirt with a black tie. She wore black high heels and silver thin framed reading glasses. On top of everything, she had a piercing in her left eyebrow. Right now Diane was walking on the sidewalk talking with some governing staff on her cellphone.

"Uh huh...uh huh...yes we should totally make that happen. Now when should we put it in effect?..." Diane chatted away as she kept on walking

Jet kept his eyes on her and decided to go ahead and pickpocket her.

"I guess one more wouldn't hurt." Jet said in his mind

Jet starts to run to catch up to the fox who stopped at a crosswalk waiting for the pedestrian light to change. Jet quietly snuck up on Diane until he was close enough behind her. He slowly reaches for her suit pocket thinking her wallet would be in there but suddenly...

*DING*

The pedestrian light changes and Diane starts walking to cross the street just before Jet could pickpocket her.

"Ugh. Really?" Jet said in slight annoyance

Jet decides to follow Diane and pickpocket her halfway across the street. Unfortunately, Diane was too distracted by her phone call that she was walking a tad bit slow on the crosswalk.

*DING*

The pedestrian light suddenly changes back to a red hand signal and the traffic lights turn green signaling clearance for oncoming traffic.

Jet was following Diane close enough and started to make his second attempt to steal from her. He was about to stealthly reach into her pocket when suddenly...

*Vroooom, Vroooom, Vroooooooooom* A loud distance roaring of an engine makes Jet look to his left.

A red sports car was speeding on the road right in the direction of Jet. Upon seeing the car, Jet aborts his pickpocketing and turns to run off of the street. But something makes him stop and look back at the fox who was still distracted by her phone call and she was still halfway across the street completely oblivious of the oncoming car. And to make matters worse, the car was still speeding and not slowing down and it looked like it had a hundred percent chance on running right into Diane. Jet didn't know how or why but something deep down inside screamed at him to save her. Without thinking, Jet runs back to the fox to save her before it was too late.

"Alright well it was nice talking-WOAH!" Diane exclaimed in surprise when she felt a sharp tug on her free hand.

"Miss come on! You're gonna get hit!" Jet shouted as he grabbed Diane's free hand and quickly dragged her out of the way.

*VRROOOOOOOMMM* The sports car races past just inches away from Jet and Diane and zooms through the intersection.

"WOAH!" Diane exclaimed in shock on nearly getting hit

"HEY OUT OF THE ROAD!" The aggressive driver shouted as he continued to race down the road until he was out of sight

Jet doesn't stop escorting Diane until they were both all the way across the street and safely on the sidewalk. Jet let's go of her hand and trys to catch his breath. Diane looks at the wolf pup that just saved her with a disbelief expression then she looks back at the direction the speeding car went. After putting the pieces together on what just happened, Diane looks back at Jet and kneels down to his level.

"Um excuse me little one? Did you just save me from getting hit by that car?" Diane asked in a disbelief yet appreciative tone

"*pant, pant* Um yes. Are you okay?" Jet asked

Immediately a huge joyful and thankful smile appears on Diane's face. Without warning, she evelopes the wolf pup in a big tight hug.

"Oh thank you thank you thank you so much! Oh you just saved my dear life!" Diane squealed happily as she hugged the life out of Jet who was surprised on what he was experiencing right now.

After the huge thankful hug, Diane puts Jet back on the ground.

"Oh my goodness i've been so overloaded with so much work lately, I did not see that car coming at all, I really need to open my eyes more and I should probably hang up my phone before crossing a street." Diane admitted "Oh sweetheart if it were not for you, I would have been run over and seriously injured or I would have lost my life!" Diane praised as she cupped Jet's furry cheeks

"Thank you so much sweetie. You're such a good boy. *Mwah*" Diane gives Jet a kiss on his forehead before standing back up and walking away smiling to herself

Jet was left standing very still and speechless with a blank expression on his face from the little sweet moment he had just experienced.

"What...just...happened? And why do I feel...different?" Jet said in his mind

He was now starting to feel...a strange new feeling. But It felt very good to him. It was a combination of warm, happiness, heartmelting, and proud. The big warm hug, the praising and complimenting words, the kiss on the forehead, it all caused the very good and new feeling Jet was experiencing inside him.

*WAG WAG WAG* Suddenly Jet's tail started aggressively wagging on its own breaking him out of his trance.

Jet fruitlessly tries to grab his wagging tail to stop it.

"Did anyone see that?" "That boy just saved that fox lady from getting run over!" "Wow what a brave little wolf!" "He's awesome!"

A lot of people around that had witnessed the whole thing was all looking at Jet and commenting him in awe.

Jet looked around at all the people smiling at him which also felt new to them. When everyone started taking out their smartphones, Jet quickly threw his hood over his head and ran away from the area before people could take pictures or videos of him to put on social media.
