He runs as fast as he can, glancing back with a curse as he lost the Canine. He flattens his ears and changes direction, smirking as the Cop finally spots him and he continues to run
"You can't out run me! I'm wearing tube-socks!"
He frowns but ends up grunting as he is tackled to the floor. A snarl escapes his chest and he narrows his eyes, lashing out with his claws sheathed as he decks the Cop before stilling at the sight of a gun in his face.
The Canine freezes as he gazing into the familiar ice blues "J-Jethro?"
The Liger slits his eyes and retracts his claws...only to pause as another Canine Cop appears
"Good...good work Tony! You...you got him!"
Tony gives his Partner a realistic smile "DiNozzo always gets his man" with that he gets off the Feline and handcuffs him, tugging him away as Dan goes to touch "No! Let...let me ride in the back with him?" at the raised eyebrow, he shrugs "Your turn to drive"
The Pug slowly nods and leads them to the car, frowning at the way Tony is reacting to the odd Feline "What is that creature?"
Jethro slits his eyes and bares his teeth.
Tony rolls his eyes at the sour stench of the Pugs fear before answering "A Liger. A cross between a Lion and Tiger" with that he leads Jethro into the car, taking the seat next to him as Dan drives them back to the Station.

Jethro looks up as Tony enters the room, that is full of empty Cells, of which he has been placed into and watches in curiosity as the Canine gets rid of the Guards by bribing them with donuts, before entering his Cell and quietly removes his cuffs
"I don't know what happened...but I can't let you get locked up for fifteen years"
The Liger narrows his eyes as he rubs his wrists "You'd let me go?" at the slight nod, he shrugs "Call NCIS, it stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service and ask for Agent Mike Franks...he will clarify that I am working Undercover as a to-go-to man"
Tony nods "I will do, but first...lets find a more private area to chat"
Jethro shrugs and follows him out.

He gazes around the Interrogation room with a look of indifference, the only sign of his unease is the tuft of his tail twitches.
The Alsatian nods while finishing his phone call with an Agent Franks before turning to the Feline "You're story checks out...you're a Navy Guy"
Jethro gives him his trademark half smirk and stretches himself out "Then I am free to go?"
Tony shakes his head "Agent Franks suggested a joint Op, seeing as its our investigation and you have Intel that I need"
His eyes slit "I'll work with anyone other than you...we have history that could interfere with this Case"
Tony flattens his ears and growls "Incase you didn't notice...this place isn't friendly to Felines" he shrugs "Feline Cops in this Precinct don't stay here long...they move to other areas and are unwilling to speak out about the discrimination" he sighs "No-one here, other than me, will give you the time of day...even with your badge and credentials, you're still a Feline"
Jethro growls and goes to snap back, only to take a calming breath as he thinks back...recalling the looks of disgust he recieved. He nods and huffs "You'll have to get your Captain to agree on this"
Tony smiles, giving him the trademark DiNozzo grin "He'll accept, especially when I give him Agent Franks number and tell him that he'll need to inform him about refusing"
Jethro chuckles and stands "Good thinking DiNozzo, now lets get this over with" with that they both leave the room to get on with the joint Case.

After a hard day being the only Feline in a building, he sighs in relief as the day is finally over and himself and Tony decide to finish the Case tomorrow. He accepts the lift with a tired nod and climb into the green Mustang.
Tony smiles as he drives, glancing every now and then at the sight of his lost love before deciding to head home instead of the Motel.

Jethro awakes with a shock as someone touches his shoulder and hisses at the sight of a Camine, only to calm as he recognises Tony. He shakes his head in annoyance before getting out of the car and stretches himself out, pausing as he realises that he isn't at the Motel.
Tony flattens his ears at the deep growl and lowers his gaze "It'll be easier and cheaper if you stay at mine during the Case"
The Liger lashes his tail and growls "I hope you weren't thinking you'll get lucky tonight"
He cringes and backs away "No...I know you won't let me near you, until you trust me once more" he straightens up "I will prove to you that you were and are my only Mate"
Jethro flattens his ears and puffs out his mane before huffing "Let us in then"
Tony nods and quickly locks up the car before opening the door to his Flat.
The Feline brushes past him as curiosity beats his cautiousness. He gazes around the small space, his tail twitching while his ears flicker as he takes in all the new sounds and scents.
He watches as his past Lover moves around his Flat and he sighs as he runs a hand through his hair "You're Welcome to take the couch...or you can have the bed"
Jethro nods "I'll take the couch" with that he takes a seat, tensing as Tony sits next to him and he forces himself to relax as he is passed a selection of leaflets
"Pick one"
He rolls his eyes and smirks as he picks out the Chinese one "I'll have the Chow Mein, anything meaty" with that he gets up "Where's the Bathroom?"
Tony gestures to the hall "It's the door on the right" he watches the Feline go and sighs as he orders in.

The Feline leans back and stretches himself out before yawning "Thanks for the meal" he shuts his eyes as relaxes into the cushions.
Tony gazes at the relaxed Feline and licks his lips as he feels his arousal coming to life...but shakes himself as he stands "I'll get you a blanket and pillow"
Jethro opens his eyes "Yeah, best we turn in for the night" he helps clears up before accepting the blanket and pillow. He nods 'Goodnight' to the Alsatian and watched him head into the Bedroom before stripping to his boxers and decides to turn in. He curls up and smiles as he is covered in the Scent of his past Lover and finally gets a good nights sleep...for the first time since he left Tony all those years ago, the day he left Stillwater to join the Marines...the last happy day of his life
