Guys I just looked at the number of view for the story we are almost to one thousand. Ill keep this one short but when we hit 1000 prepare for a sentimental intro. Sorry but I like sentimental things. Prepare for a heartbreak in this chapter. I have made my mind up and you must learn deal with it. Please don't leave as it will make sense when it's all over. The ending of the chapter will be sad but it will solve its self. Don't leave.

The tunnel in the small world ride almost killed me. It leads to a water purification plant. I got trapped by a grate and almost died. Going to stop for a little while.

Valkyrie.

Daniel had put Emily in his bed. She was tired and to be honest so was he. He had to see the end of the episode he was watching. He walked back over to the couch and sat down. He pushed the on button on the T.V. He was watching a new show he had grown to love. It was called Diesel Brothers. (I would highly recommend the show. It's amazing.) The guys were making a specialty truck for chuck Norris. The big reveal was about to happen when his phone rang. The chief of the zootopian police department was calling him.

Bogo shouted though the phone. "Daniel, I need you and Emily to get to the 4570-south street in tundra town. We have a hostage situation. Also, Daniel bring the FN ballista you will be on over watch." Emily had walked out because the chief woke her up. Daniel walked over to the fireplace mantle. He picked up the rifle and walked to the truck. He put the gun in the gunrack and opened the door for Emily. She climbed into the truck and Daniel sent the truck to the garage.

"No rest for the wicked huh?" He spoke softly to Emily who smiled at him. He fired the truck up and drove the address the chief had given him. The streets were eerily quiet but since it was around 2:30 AM that should be correct. He made sure he had a box of rounds for the gun. He specially hand loaded the rounds to a very precise performance. They would hold a three-inch group at 1000 yards. Daniel was the winner of the Wimbledon shooting cup. (Google it, It's hard to win.) The rifle was easily recognizable as the ballista off the call of duty black ops 2 game. But make no mistake it packed the punch needed to get the job done. They drove listening to the police radio that Emily had wired into the truck after she got it. She had yet to get the police lights installed for use in case of emergency but for now it was ok. They dove in silence and were soon greeted by the border walls of the city. They crossed though to tundra town. The rest of the drive was short but they needed four-wheel drive to reach the destination.

Daniel flashed his badge to an officer he didn't recognize and was flagged though. It was a calm night in tundra town. A rare occurrence but would provide for nice views and if it came down to it an easy shot with the rifle. He had a starlight scope mount that folded over so he could use the scope during the day without ruining the amazing night scope. He lifted the night scope into place and opened the lens covers. He stuck the 5-round box mag into the rifle. He would only need one if the shot went well but the chief specified bring 10 rounds. It was standard procedure. If he had to shoot he would chamber another round and continue to provide over watch incase the suspect didn't go down like planned. The .338 lapua magnum would sort out its differences with the perp. He had never had to shoot someone twice with the rifle. He knew what he was doing.

The suspect walked out of the cash advance place with a terrified sheep in his clutches He fired his AK-47 at the group of police officers who ducked. Daniel being the badass he was just stood there. Bullets tore around him but he held his ground. If he had his way, he would have shot the perp then but they had to give peace a chance first. He climbed up to the second story of the nearby building and set the rifle down on a desk. He opened the scope and put the crosshairs on the door. The rifle was sighted in for 1000 yards he spun the elevation way down. He knew just how many click it would take to drop the scope to 300 yards. He shot high power matches with the rifle. It was 73 click down in elevation to get to the 300 yards dead on shot. The wind was very calm tonight. Which was a surprise. Tundra town was known for its unforgiving winds and cold temperatures. Daniel heard the door behind him. He spun around and was greeted by none other than a larger German Shepard. He was around three to four inches shorter than Daniel but was still tall. Daniel recognized this mammal it had been a long time since he had seen him last. It had been six long years since the last encounter with the young man standing in the door was.

"Six years and you never bothered to call home? Did all those years not mean anything to you?" He swung and Daniel and clipped him in the side of the mouth. "You still punch like a bitch. Nice to see you again James." Daniel look at his brother. He was adopted when Daniel was ten. James was seven at the time and wanted to be just like his brother Daniel. He tried as hard as he could to be just like him. When Daniel left, James took it very hard. He tried to find Daniel for hours a day. He spent as long as he could to try and find his brother but to no avail. Finding a 6' 3" Snow leopard with diamond blue eyes was harder than you think.

"We can catch up later right now we need to do our job." Daniel said to James. He slid behind the rifle again putting the crosshairs on the door of the cash advanced place.

Emily, unknow to Daniel, oversaw negotiations. She picked up the bull horn provided for her. She spoke into the device. Her voice echoed off the surrounding buildings.

"Excuse me. Hi my name is officer Emily Gibson with the ZPD. Can I talk to you for a minute?" Emily was responded to by more fire from the suspect. Several cars were now riddled with bullets. She dove behind the nearest car and waited out the fire. When the hail of bullets finally ceased, she got up and loudly announced.

"I am going to come in. I will leave my gun here. I want to trade positions with the hostages." With that she laid the bull horn down on the nearest car. Unholtered the sig sauer sp2022 and laid it on the hood. She began a slow walk to the front of the store. A flood of people ran out narrowly missing the small rabbit. She walked into the store and told the mammal to release the last person.

Daniel could only watch in horror as his loving girlfriend walked towards the front of the store where a man with an automatic assault rifle hid inside. He wanted to tell her to stop, to leave, to go home and get out of harm's way but there was no changing her mind when she made it up. He could only provide watch.

He spoke into the radio. "Carrots once you go in I have no shot. Be careful." Emily replied "Look at the second story. I will lead him up there near the window if it comes down to it take the shot. Don't worry about me." Daniel tracked her into the building and then moved the cross hairs to the second story window. He makes the calculations for shooting through the window. Emily and the suspect walked up to the second floor. He spoke into his radio, "Valkyrie to base. I have visual." He knew what would have to be done if it came down to it. He took all the slack out of the match grade trigger. It would be an easy 2 pound pull from there. Daniel finally got a view of what the suspect looked like. He was a smaller snow leopard that looked almost like him. His breath caught in his throat. James looked at him but was reassured about what would be down when Daniel gave him a thumb up.

Jump to Emily

Emily was busy trying to figure out how to have the snow leopard surrender. What shocked her was what he said next.

"I know who you are officer Gibson. I know about your boyfriend as well. I purposefully lured you here to show him what happens when he can't protect you." The medium sized snow leopard pulled a pistol form his belt and cocked the hammer. Emily saw what was about to happen. She knew what would happen next and accepted what was going to happen

She was going to die.

Nothing she could do would stop it from coming. She was saddened as she would not get to see Daniel anymore. She would not be comforted by his deep voice or ride around in the corvette. The memories came back but were suddenly interrupted by a loud gunshot. The snow leopard hit the floor. The side of his chest was blown open. Her sensitive ears were ringing but she didn't care at the time. She was safe Daniel had protected her again.

Switch to Daniel right before the shot

Daniel saw the doppel ganger of himself pull the gun on Emily. He spoke to the radio. "Officer Gibson is in trouble. Need green light to execute." The chiefs voice resounded over the radio. "You have green light Valkyrie. End this son of a bitch." Daniel didn't hear the last part for the defining report of the rifle. He saw Emily look out the window to him. He pulled the bolt up and to the rear position then pushed it back forward and down into the locked and closed position. Chambering another round. He saw the snow leopard move and thought about pulling the trigger again. He saw it say something to Emily. He finished and tried to grab the pistol. Daniel fired another round which hit him squarely below the chin. It blew the top of the snow leopards head clean off. Emily was safe once again.

Switch back to Emily before second shot. No time has passed.

Emily was about to walk away when she heard the snow leopard move. She turned and looked at him. He muttered a few words.

"One day soon he will be gone. You can't stop it. His fate is already decided." He reached for the pistol as a last-ditch effort. Another report of the rifle went off. This time emptying the snow leopards head all over the wall behind her. She was hit with some of the spray. She turned and walked down the stair. She walked out the front doors and towards the T.U.S.K (Tactical Unit Special Knowledge. It's the swat team of Zootopia. Daniel was one of the best snipers. But he still like to patrol.) She left the body armor at the truck and walked over to Daniel's f250. She climbed in and fell asleep.

Switch to Daniel immediately after second shot. No time has passed.

James was talking to Daniel but he couldn't hear him. The blast of the rifle still ringing in his ears. James always wore in-ear electronic headphones. Daniel had to leave his open. It gave him a sense of his surroundings. Of course he paid for it each time he had to fire the rifle. He packed the rifle up. He was regaining his hearing and heard something about a bar and drinks? He looked out and saw Emily covered in the blood of the suspect asleep in his truck. He looked over to James. He looked him dead in the eyes and said, "Can't tonight Girlfriend is already asleep. She is covered in blood and we have reports to fill out in the morning. Maybe another day." He slung the rifle over his shoulder and walked out of the room.

James mouth was wide open. His badass brother was dating Officer Gibson? An artic hare and a prey animal? Well any happens in Zootopia he thought. I will need to get more info on this.

He walked out of the room and down to the other officers.

Hello guys its Daniel. So, no emotional heartbreak yet but be warned it is coming. You are getting a foreshadow of it here. The worst is soon to come.
