Hey gaygirls, its yo boy DungeonDragonDudeXxfeglord. Its been a while. Couldn't really decide on how I wanted to progress on this but... here we go!
It was a dark and stormy nigh- jk
Nick descended the ladder and placed his foot on the cold concrete floor. He felt a chill run up his spine. He looked up to the latch he had entered from. It seemed so far away and unnerving.
He looked around at the base of the silo and noticed there was a large metal door. It was aged and rusted. There was a dirty glass panel embedded into the center of the door. This is definitely it. Heeding his instincts, he drew his tranq gun and let his close quarter combat training take the lead.
He slowly and quietly approached the door being especially cautious. The glass had a thick layer of dust and strange green gunk. He cringed at the sight. He lifted his elbow and tried to scrub the crap off with circular movements using his uniform.
Most of the window was cleared up by now, but was still slightly obscured. He breathed on the glass and wiped it once more with his elbow and peered inside. It was a dark corridor. The walls were splotched with faded yellow and red. There seems to be 2 more metal doors down this corridor, one of the left and one of the right. The door on the left seems to be dimly illuminated and constantly flickering. While the one of the right was amply lit and also had a glass panel.
He retracted from the window and closed his eyes. Alright Nick… come on…
He took a deep breath and placed his paw on the handle but suddenly stopped. A realization occurred.
Wait this is stupid… I should call for some backup. Bogo would strangle me… but this could save me and Carrot's lives.
He let go of the handle and switched his radio to a private frequency he used with Detective Wolfstein.
He whispered into the radio, "Wolfstein wolfstein. You there?"
A static-y voice responded, "Wilde? What the hell? Are you ok? Where are you?"
"Listen… I don't have much time. I found where those bastards took Judy."
"What? Wilde. Where are you? You're supposed to be at the safehouse."
"Yeah I know I know. I broke out."
"You what?!" The static voice bellowed. Nick shushed the radio harshly as he squeezed the bridge of his nose.
"Shut up, Wolfstein! I'm in their weird little cartoonish secret underground base ok? If they hear me, I doubt I'd have any chance of surviving this let alone rescue Judy."
"Wilde, listen to me. Just tell me where you are and we will send backup. Don't do anything until we get there."
"Negative, these guys are too quick. Last time they managed to move their whole base of operation in less than 2 hours. The element of surprise is all I got. If you guys roll in with a ZPD conga line, they'll be gone before we blink." He replied in a frustrated whisper yell.
There was a pause from Wolfstein.
"You still need to tell me where you are."
"Wolfstein, I need you to promise me it will just be you and your partners coming to help. Do NOT contact Bogo. He will blow this whole thing and you know it! I can't afford that. I can't… I can't afford to lose my partner again please."
A pause… then a static sigh could be heard. "I get it, ok… We'll do it your way alright? Just give me a location and I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Ok thank you so much, Wolfstein."
"Yeah. Just be careful alright, Wilde?"
"Will do."
Nick disclosed the general whereabouts, direction, and description of the large rock to Wolfstein before shutting his radio off. He didn't want the potential cover-blowing noise like what happened with Judy's phone when they were investigating nighthowlers.
He took a deep breath again, grasped the handle, and slowly pushed the door open. It let out an audible and long metallic squeak. He cringed from the noise and the fear of being heard. His heart was racing and his heartbeat quickened.
He held his tranq gun up as he slowly approached the well-lit room. Nick put his back up against the wall and slowly and carefully peered into the glass panel of the well-lit room. It's an office. A clean one too. On the table were papers, pencils, notebooks, and a jar of honey?
He slowly opened the door keeping his tranq gun close to his body as he carefully entered the room checking all his corners. Seems clear.
Nick noticed there were two more doors, one led into a wardrobe and one was simply closed, but the lights inside were on. The clothes that hung in the wardrobe were large, very large.
Halfway through his observations, a loud toilet flush and some coughing could be heard from inside the other door.
He darted to hide behind a wooden book shelf near the wall. Took a gulp and held his breath.
The door opened and something large exited and began slowly walking to the desk. He was muttering in Russian.
Nick slowly took a peek out and saw it was a bear wearing a fancy lavis-
The bear sniffed the air all of sudden and his hair stood up.
Nick shot his head back behind the shelf.
Oh dung. He can smell me.
In a thick Russian accent, "Meat? Is that you? Are you done with the rabbit yet?"
Nick's heart stopped.
What?
"We have to leave soon, squeeze her for what you can then kill her."
Pain and relief shot into Nick's heart. These bastards have her and are torturing her, but it sounded like she was still here and alive.
He gritted his teeth in searing anger and swiftly swiveled out of his cover and shot the bear with his tranq gun.
"Ahh!" the bear exclaimed and looked at Nick. He frowned and felt his head going light. He tried to advance toward Nick with his claws out, but the sedatives were kicking in hard.
"Nicholas Willluhhhhh~~" he slurred as his body dropped and his face smashed into the table making a loud thud.
He was out cold.
Nick's eyes were wide and almost feral. He panted hard as he slowly lowered his gun.
For a while, he stared at the lump of bear that's plopped on the floor now with rage fresh in his eyes. His breath was still a labored pant, he needed to make sure this monster was not getting up again... at least not for a while.
Though it was frowned upon in the force to shoot a second dose of sedatives (due to possible overdose) to an already incapacitated perp, Nick's anger had grip over his conscience. His hands shook with ferocity as he loaded another tranq dart and shot it relentlessly into the unconscious bear's side.
The bear's body began to convulse now and started foaming at the mouth.
Nick's eyes were still wide as he watched the quivering body continue to foam with no remorse.
Judy.
He quickly reloaded his weapon and exited the room and quietly entered the dimly lit room across the corridor. His adrenaline was still coursing through his veins.
As he walked further into the room. He saw her.
His mouth gaped and the tears welled up in his eyes.
Anger washed over by horror and sadness.
She was tied by her wrists to the ceiling. Her two feet just dangling a foot off the ground also bound together by rope. She seemed unconscious… or dead.
This thought quickly transformed into overwhelming anxiety as he suddenly felt as though he could not breathe.
He sprinted toward his bunny. As he got closer, each perceivable injury dealt to her slashed into his heart. As if each wound she was given were inflicted unto him as well.
He bit the rope violently with his canines to free her wrists. Her little body fell into his arms. He could hardly recognize her…
She had burn marks on her ears, bruises on her face, deep cuts in her arms and legs, and splotches and blossoms of blood all over.
He looked down to see her vest and uniform had been ripped open and slashes across her chest and abdominal could be observed.
Nick held her tightly and placed his ear next to her mouth and nose to check for breathing. He also tried feeling for a pulse. Suddenly she opened her eyes slightly to meet his gaze.
"Nick? You…" she asked with a raspy and almost completely inaudible voice.
"Carrots!" He smiled and embraced her tightly and sobbed wildly drenching her shoulder and face in his tears.
She coughed and retched violently. Her cough had let out an alarming amount of blood.
He released her immediately, calmed himself, and tried to handle her body very gently as he laid her down.
"Hey… You're gonna be ok alright? Let's get you out of here." her softly spoke to her.
She coughed some more as more blood sprayed out. She let out a deep wheeze and placed her palms firmly on his chest.
His eyes widened with his tears still streaming down his face. "Hey carrots come on. Let's get you fixed up ok? We are going to go home and everything is going to be just fin-"
She pushed him hard with two paws as her eyes widened and let out a pained grunt as if trying to tell him something.
"I'm sorry whiskers! I'm here now. Please let's get yo"
"Nick!" she mouthed desperately as she pointed behind him.
Suddenly a horrible sharp pain bore deep into Nick's traps stopping at his collar bone.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH~!" he cried out in pain as his body recoiled. He forced himself to roll forward and away from the attacker.
As he scrambled to his feet. He saw … a pig. And a large one at that. It wore a disgusting smile and was breathing very excitedly.
Nick turned to check his injury. A hatchet had buried deep into his left trapezius muscle and the edge of the blade had caught in his clavicle. He winced from the disabling pain as he struggled to stay standing.
"You. Nicholas. Wilde. Boss wants. You." the pig stated happily.
Nick panted laboriously and wore an infuriated look on his face. He stared intently at the large pig. He gulped and took a deep breath.
"Listen you filthy beast… I'm going to take Judy with me and you're not gonna do shit. And after I take Judy out of this hellhole, I'm gonna come back… And I'm gonna beat the living daylights out of you and your boss… then I'm gonna arrest you… and have you two psychopaths spend 50 consecutive life sentences in a FUCKING CAN." He growled with a feral tone.
The pig's smile widened. "You. Come now. No more. Playing. Around." The pig pulled out a meat cleaver and began advancing towards Nick.
Nick, without a word, raised his tranq gun and put a dart into the swine's forehead. The pig looked at him funny but soon started to wobble. His wide grin turned into a confused mouth gaping look as his body fell to the ground with the back of his head striking the cement floor.
Nick sighed in some relief and holstered his weapon. His left arm had gone limp from the pain and blood loss. He held his left shoulder with his right paw as he scurried over back to Judy.
"Carrots! Come on let's get out of here." He pleaded.
She slowly turned her eyes toward him as her body was limp and effectively life less.
He tried to carry her but his left arm would not allow it. He did not want to drag her in fear of worsening her injuries and suffering. Climbing the ladder back up was also entirely out of question. His only hope was to wait for backup.
Frustrated with himself he began cursing at his left arm and tried to pull the hatchet out but the pain was far too great. Plus… he knew he would probably bleed himself unconscious.
So he did all he could and held Judy's head in his lap and checked her injuries hoping to be able to help in any way.
He found some bandages and gauze in his duty belt, then proceeded to patch up whatever wounds on Judy he was able to. He tried to stay very focused on her injuries and not on his own emotional distraught.
"Don't worry Jud, Wolfstein is coming soon. You just gotta hang on ok?"
Judy had began shivering slightly as time went on.
"You're so strong whiskers. After this, we can go to my place and watch a movie again ok? I'll even get you that carrot muffin you like so much." He continued to placate.
She let out small whimpers and moans from the pain as her breathing quickened. Her eyes were shut tightly as if she was fighting something off in her head.
He could not stand the sight nor sound of her pain. "It's gonna be ok. I'm here. I'm here." He rubbed her head in attempt to ease her suffering.
It seemed to help a little as she seemed to have calmed a bit.
"I can cook for us and set up maybe even a game night with Clawhauser and Wolfstein. What do you think of that? Or it can just be me and you again. We can get drunk again and I can impress you more with how smart I am. And maybe sneak in a kiss or two huh carrots?" He did his half-lidded smirk at her although his eyes were tear filled and bloodshot.
Suddenly she opened her eyes and cracked a small smile. "You… sly fox…" Her eyes began drifting and her eyelids started falling slowly.
He tried to smile back but could not hold back his tears. "Hey Judy stay with me ok? Come on."
"Nick. I… I love y~~" her mouth was stuck in last syllable as she let out a quiet exhale. Her eyelids were half closed as her eyes drifted lifelessly to the right. Suddenly, her body had gone completely limp.
"Judy?" He beckoned. "JUDY? HEY come on now. Wait... Don't do that. Carrots. Hey. Come on this isn't funny. Whiskers. Hey! CUTE BUNNY. HEY!" He began shaking her.
"This isn't a fun joke anymore ok Jud? I'm serious. Let's just go home ok? We got so much do. You wake up this instant little bunny." He scolded facetiously denying what he is seeing.
There was no response.
He looked at her face.
She was unmoving, not even her usual adorable little nose twitch.
Suddenly it clicked.
His mind and body fell into a full uncontrollable panic.
"JUDY?! HEY JUDY?! COME ON DON'T DO THIS. I'M RIGHT HERE. I'M HERE LOOK. OPEN YOUR EYES. YOU'RE GONNA BE OK ALREADY. LISTEN YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE. WAKE UP. DON'T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS. I'M A DUMB FOX I NEED YOU, PARTNER. DON…-" He pleaded as the tears just fell from his his green eyes. He couldn't finish his sentence as his head fell on her forehead. He cried deeply and gasped desperately for air from the heartache. He lifted his head slightly to see her face again.
Nick placed his lips on her head and gave her a desperate kiss on the forehead.
"Judy… judy… I love you… I love you… I love you… I love you…" His head sank into her chest as he cried intensely rocking his and her body back and forth. "Come back.. come back… I'm sorry I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry sorry… Please. Please… No…" he shuddered wildly.
Suddenly, a voice called out from the corridor, "Wilde? You in here?"
It was Wolfstein's voice.
Nick continued to weep uncontrollably embracing his bunny. I love you. I'm never letting you go.
dw gaiz. Not over yet yo.
