M: Roughly three years ago, I published this story's first chapter. One year ago, I announced that story would die without ever being finished. However, I now get to share the exciting news that the story will, in fact, be finished! In reality, I have already written the final chapters and I will be publishing them come Monday. I'll upload one chapter each day from Monday to Friday.
I've also been working on a soft rewrite. This means that every chapter that is already published has been thoroughly checked for spelling errors. I also took the opportunity to add some scenes, implant some important details and remove some parts that didn't make any sense. In other words, it would be worthwhile to read the story from the beginning. These chapters have already been uploaded.
Now, get ready for the true end of The Cop and the Robber, in the shape of 95 pages with over 50k words.
New disclaimer: Anything that I have ever seen, heard, read or experienced in any way, shape or form could have been used as inspiration for this story. Please don't sue me.
Prologue
It is the year 2022, and it has been 2 years since the PAW Patrol disbanded. The entire team (Chase, Marshall, Skye, Rocky, Rubble, Zuma, Everest and Tracker) each found their own way after Ryder's death. It was a tragic accident, but there was nothing anyone could have done. Ryder had decided to go for a hike on his first day off in months when he tripped and fell down a 100-meter cliff. His funeral was beautiful, but it was the last time the entire team was together.
Since then, each ex-PAW Patrol member got a job they were good at. Rocky went to work for a successful company that specialises in revolutionary inventions. It's based in Europe, Rotterdam to be exact. He has risen to the rank of CFO and he's the best in the business. Skye became a fighter pilot for the military. She turned out to be better than anyone else, which made her get recruited by the CIA's BlackOps division. Her record has been deleted and the whole world thinks she never existed. After Rubble left the PAW Patrol, he found a job in the construction business. He did what he was good at, but he had no idea that he was working to bury bodies for the Blackstreet Mafia. When he accidentally found out, the mafia offered him a job to bury the bodies knowingly. It was the same job, the only difference was a bigger payday. He has been arrested and is currently serving a double life sentence for 43 counts of second-degree murder. Zuma became a water rescue dog working alongside the marines. After saving the entire crew by diving under and disarming a bomb attached to the hull, he was offered a job as NCIS special agent. Tracker is the only one who stayed right where he was, in the jungle. He became the official park ranger soon after the PAW Patrol disbanded. Everest has followed her dreams of becoming a professional snowboarder and she has won a total of 7 gold medals at the Winter Olympics. Marshall became a fire-fighter in Coastal City and was eventually put in charge of the station. Chase, who is also working in Coastal City, has become a K9 detective in the homicide department at the 9th precinct. He is currently partnered with detective Silvex Knyght, a young dark blue husky with sky blue eyes. He is about the same age as Chase. All ex-PAW Patrol members have lost contact with each other, except for Marshall and Chase. After Chase graduated from the police academy, he and Marshall ran into each other and have been in touch ever since.
