Leon nodded. "I'd say so." His voice flat.

Nick looked from Jack, to Leon, and back to Jack. "You two know each other?"

"Yes." They both answered at the same time. To Jacks amusement as well.

"So you remember me now?" Jack asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yup." Leon replayed shortly. "Nick, Jack and I have a little bit of history. I might have tried to kill him

back in the day." A short chuckle came from him. "And he might have tried to kill me at the same time."

His eyes never leaving that of the bunny's in front of him as he spoke. "Thanks for the suit by the way

Jack."

The rabbit's eyes never left Leon's either. Scenarios of what might happen next going through both of

their heads. "I'm glad it fits as well as it does. I wasn't sure if I got the arm length correct." A small smirk

on his muzzle.

"Fits perfect Jack." Breathing in deeply. "Well I suppose we shouldn't stay in the restroom. It might

cause questions."

"I suppose so." Jack eyed him cautiously.

Leon shook his head gently. "Not today Jack, I'm coming along no fight. I'd prefer to not have a scene in

front of the Wildes."

Jack nodded. "I thought that might be the case." Taking his phone out of his pocket slowly. "But I did

have backup just in case." Hitting a quick dial and putting the phone to his ear. "You can stand down.

Target is coming with me by his choice." Hanging up without waiting for a response. "After you Leon."

Before he could move towards the door Nick spoke up. "Would one of you explain what the hell is going

on?" Having been listening to the dry exchange between the two, and the brief explanation from Leon

was not even close to answering his questions.

Jack laughed. "I don't know how you and your family get into these things Nick." Sighing. "We'll use the

station, I'm sure the chief won't mind. Perhaps Judy can bring your daughter home and catch up with us

after that."

Nick rolled his eyes at the mention of Judy bringing Meredith home. "Not likely." However, he shrugs

and waves a paw. "Lead the way."

Leon walked out of the bathroom followed by Jack and then Nick. The girls had apparently already gone

outside to wait as they looked up when Leon excited.

"What happened, we almost came back inside to see if you fell in." Meredith teased, not seeing the

rabbit following behind Leon and in front of her father.

Judy however noticed the other bunny right away. "Jack, I never thought I'd see you here."

"Who's Jack, mom?" Looking again to see the white rabbit. "Oh. What's going on?"

Nick made his way around the others. "Leon and Jack have to have a talk down at the station."

Looking from her father to Leon, the confusion plain on her face. "I'm coming too."

"Meredith, It's ok. Jack and I are old friends, aren't we Jack?" Looking at Jack.

"Yup, we worked together once." Jack said.

"You know him." Looking at Leon directly in the eyes. She had learned from her father a while back how to tell if someone was lying, as long as you could see their eyes.

Leon looked back and without hesitation, not even a twitch, "Yes, I do." Walking over to her. "It was another wonderful evening. I have remembered a bit more, and we have to talk about. Perhaps tomorrow we could have coffee." Smiling a genuine smile. He wanted to take her paw at least briefly but, given the current situation he thought perhaps that would be a poor choice. To occupy his paws he held the cane in both, in front of him.

A black SUV pulled up with tinted windows as they talked. The driver never stepping out but Jack walked up next to Leon. "Time to get going Leon."

Nodding and giving Meredith a smile, he turned to leave. As he was getting into the back seat of the car along with Nick he heard the tap tap tap of a foot paw on the ground behind them. Glancing over at Nick who was just shaking his head as he got into the SUV from the opposite side shutting the door behind him. Jack got into the front passenger seat.

Leon turned before they got on their way to see Judy and Meredith both talking. He found it interesting how even with the height difference Judy commanded a presence as they argued. As he sat back in his seat, he noticed Nick had also been looking back and then turned to regard Leon intensely.

Lifting a paw to point towards Leon, Nick locked eyes with him. "First, They will both be joining us at the station." Leon nodded figuring that's what the argument was bout. "Second, you get out of all this." His paw waving around the car to indicate the situation they found themselves in. "Don't hurt her." Nick sat back with a huff that puffed out his cheeks. "Jack, can you please start to fill me in now? Keep in mind you will have to repeat for Judy."

From the front seat, not even turning around he spoke to the Tod in the back like he was briefing a field agent that he knew well. "As you know a few days ago there was an incident to the north. A facility had been damaged, however the government told us that it was a minor issue and that the situation was under control. It was not however minor, nor was it under control. The facility, though we still do not have conformation as to what it was for, was leveled in an explosion. Many of the workers were injured. Including the one sitting next to you." This had Nick look over at Leon, receiving a nod from the skunk confirming his involvement. "Fast forward to today, there was a radiation leak detected on a train traveling from the west of our neighboring country along the border with the Burrows. From the looks of satellite images, the soldiers guarding the train are dead. The track the train was on, and the direction in which it was heading would take it to one of two likely locations. One is the damaged facility, and the second a similar facility further east. That is the most information we have." After talking Jack leaned over and looked back at Leon. "Since you have been so cooperative, I am hoping that you will continue to be, accommodating."

Leon couldn't help but laugh. The entire situation was ridiculous. "Jack, you know that if I say anything I can never go home. As it is, you know that I probably already can't go home and stay alive longer then it would take for them to figure out if I shared anything." Running a paw over his muzzle. "I actually miss the days when you were trying to steal information and I was tasked to find out who you were. That was so much simpler."

Jack smirked. "Then you went and let me go. I thought perhaps when you came here you were here to correct that mistake."

"Well that at least explains the gunpoint conversation at the hospital." Leon said as he looked at the back of Jack's seat.

"Jack, guns in a hospital?" Nick looked at him. "Forgetting the laws you broke."

"Nick, all due respect you have to remember the types of mammals I deal with, and whom I work for." Jack returned his attention to Leon as the SUV pulled up to the front of precinct 1 station. "So, will you fill in some of the blanks?"

"I'm here aren't I?" Getting out of the car Leon waited for the others to join and for Nick to lead the way up the steps.

Nick walked up to the front desk, telling the clerk to let Judy know where they were once they arrived. Knowing they were maybe ten minutes behind. Then walked back to Jack and Leon. "Come on, we'll use conference room one." Leading the way up the steps and past the chiefs office to a smaller conference room on the left side of the hall. When they walked in the motion detectors turned on the fluorescent lights revealing a long table in the center, a projector screen mounted on the wall with a ceiling mounted projector. Six chairs, three on either side, were positioned around the table.

Leon walked in ahead of Jack, looking around the room quickly before casually walking over to the windows overlooking, the main street in front of the station. The sun had set a few hours ago but the bustle of the city was like a dawn of its own. Cars traveling from place to place, the street lights ensuring that the shadows were held back for pedestrians, and some of the dull glow from signs advertising evening entertainments of drink and music. He then slowly closed the shades to block the outside world from view. Perhaps, Nick thought, it was to block the inside view from the outside.

When he turned Jack and Nick were both sitting at the table. "You know Jack, when you told me about what the city was like. I didn't believe you, I wanted to but it just seemed to good to be true." Jack Sighed as he leaned heavily against his cane, his eyes showing a lifetime of exhaustion. His left hand, the one not on his cane, reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle. Checking the label he opened it with one hand and tipped up the bottle so that one pill fell into his muzzle before recapping it and replacing the bottle in his pocket. Holding the pill between his teeth he looked at Jack. "Not cyanide. Just pain killer." His voice partially muffled due to the way he spoke with the pill in his teeth before he tipped his head back and swallowed.

Looking between the to mammals he locked back in on Jack after a moment of thinking. "As bad as this sounds, what's in it for me Jack?" This caused a smirk on the bunny's muzzle.

Nick looked a little surprised. "You're really going to shake us down? Here?"

Looking back at Nick he actually looked apologetic. Choosing his words very carefully. "Detective, you have to understand a few things. If I start to talk, I can't go home, ever. I've been trained from the beginning for very specific work, which I won't be able to do any more. I'm from a country that demand service, and for that service you are provided for. The better your service, the more you are given. If you can not serve you are of no use to the people, if you are no use to the people then you are a drain." Breathing in and releasing another sigh. "So I have to ask, what's in it for me."

Jack was expecting this ever since Leon had started to cooperate. "Identity, job retraining, place to live. After that the rest is up to you. You won't be told what to do and how to do it here."

Leon nodded and turned around to face the covered windows. He could almost see the activity outside in his mind as he considered his situation. To be simple, he was in the hole. The general would never believe he wasn't trying to defect, and once he told Jack what he was about to tell him he might as well anyways. Turning around he looked up as Judy and Meredith walked into the room, making him smirk with a shake of his head. It was worth it.

"Deal," he said, causing a confused look from Judy and Meredith. "First the warning. Jack is going to stay, but it would be best if the Wildes did not hear this." His eyes flicking to Meredith in particular.

"Oh like hell, I've been trying to figure you out since you landed in my ER. So I'm staying." Meredith had the same look on her as her mother sitting next to her. A joint wall of mammals that were not going to budge.

Jack gave a laugh as he looked from one Wilde to the next then back to Leon. "Welcome to working with the Wilde family."

After looking from Mother to Daughter, both whom still had their arms crossed and looking at him with ears attentive and waiting for him to talk. He looked at Jack who sat in his chair, paws on the table, patient and calm. Then to Nick, who was looking at his girls with a sly grin on his muzzle, one of love and admiration even. "Fine then, lets catch you up." Sitting down in the last chair, which he pulled to the head of the table.

"I worked at the facility that had an incident, not an accident. General Gerhard," Looking at Jack, "you remember him." When Jack nodded, he continued, "Well the general put me in place as head of security. He suspected that there would be an issue with one of the scientists working at the facility. Officially the site was licensed for hydrogen production for fuel. The site actually housed large amounts of Deuterium, and some of the largest centrifuges the personal on site had ever worked with according to them."

Meredith and Judy both looked confused, while Jack rubbed his chin in thought. Nick was listening but it was obvious he didn't understand the pieces. Meredith was however the first to ask. "Ok so what does this all have to do with .. whatever is going on."

Leon looked to Meredith when she asked the question. "The facility was a prototype production center for enrichment. In particular, enrichment of uranium. If that facility was allowed to go online they would have enough material for at least ten power plants in a year. That was what the General was telling the politicians anyways." Looking back to Jack. "Hence the train."

Jack nodded as he was putting the pieces together. "Gerhard making a power play, and you don't believe he wants to build power plants."

Leon shook his head. "Not for a moment. We have been using more and more wind power from the mountain stations, and the battery storage centers have been working exactly as the Workers class predicted. The political class has … grown fat and lazy."

"And Gerhard has always loved power." Jack said.

Nick looked up after taking all of what he had just heard in. "So the facility is destroyed, and the train was intercepted?"

"I can't say about the train, but one facility was destroyed, there are still a couple of others from our nuclear power program but none with the capacity of this newest one." Leon leaned back and rubbed his arm where some of the stiches were starting to itch.

Meredith noticed the rubbing and narrowed her eyes. "Don't scratch, you'll tear the stitches."

Leon laughed. "Yes doctor." His voice soft when he responded, and appreciative. His paws settling back on the table.

Nick piped up after that little exchange between the skunk and his daughter. "None of this explains how the … enrichment place or whatever was damaged."

Jack leaned back in his chair with a smirk. "Special Ops First Lieutenant Leon Forest. Weapons expert, paw to paw combat expert, and fairly decent in explosives. You know Leon you really are a blunt instrument sometimes."

Leong shook his head. "Oh I'm sure you and your little friend there, what was her name again techno overlord, would have found a better way."

"I'll let her know you remember her. She did lead you on quite the run around for a month or two." Jack responded.

"I hate computers Jack, all of the emails and bits and passwords." Grumbling.

Meredith and Judy both chuckled as they looked at Nick. "What? I agree. Go and talk to the mammal, interact, get out from behind the computer. Convenient things from time to time but overrated."

"Anyways, I tried to clear the building out. In trying to do that I got stuck in my office as well. Jumped out the window into the river below, then the rest you know." Sighs. "Those people shouldn't have died, that's on me. However, I probably set them back five years." Leaning back. "The train worries me though Jack. That wasn't me. Is there any chance it wasn't attacked?"

Jack shrugged. "To be honest, I don't know. It wasn't any of us, and perhaps the leak was bad enough to knock out the squad on the train. If that's the case we should be grateful that they stopped the train first. Otherwise she would have reached the end of the rail and we would have had a bigger mess. The ambassadors are trying to convince them to let us help them with our containment crews. Together the cleanup will be faster. As it is we already have to keep an eye on that mess." Standing up, Jack smoothed out his jacket. "I think that's enough for now. Tomorrow we have to figure out how to convince them Leon Forest is dead." Walking over to Leon he put a paw on Leon's shoulder. "For what it's worth I'm sorry, but that also means you can never have contact with your sister again."

Looking down at the cane he had in his paw. "There is always a sacrifice."
