Chapter 2:Red Sand

"Quiet!"Chief Bogo spoke and broke the chaos in the room.

"This is getting serious, there is no time to waste!"

Chief Bogo smacked his desk so everyone could stop talking, everyone is looking at Chief Bogo, ready for him to give out orders.

"We're gonna spread as 5 groups throughout the city,"

After a fast management, the room soon became empty again only three left, Chief Bogo had no other plans, but to only send them three to the desert.

"Well, you three are left, Lucy, Nick and Judy, you guys will have to take the desert, I still need someone to control the station and I can't find anyone else. Stay safe and good luck."

Chief Bogo left the room, the deer came straight up to Nick.

"Nick? Is that really you? I haven't seen you after 7th grade."

"Wait, Lucy?" Nick's head shook with memory and gave her a friendly hug.

Judy didn't say a thing she grabbed his tie very proficient, and dragged him outside."Come on Nick, there's gonna be a traffic jam soon."

Lucy smiled and stopped Judy,"Who said we are driving?"

Judy and Nick were both confused, Lucy laughed and led them to the roof. There is a helicopter, Lucy took out the keys out of her pocket and hopped on the driver's seat soon Nick and Judy followed up.

In less than half an hour they arrived upon the desert area's sky, the way there, Lucy and Nick were talking about the old times they had.

"How did you two met in the first place?"

"Oh she was our school bully, then she got expelled and went to military school."

Lucy looked at Judy with a smile, Judy looked back and asked a question even Nick though it was off the line.

"Are you single?"

"Judy! I'm sorry, she's a bit…"

"It's ok Nick no need to apologize, and yes I'm single and ready to mingle."

Lucy went back to controlling the helicopter, but she thought about her question and came back with another question that totally pissed Judy off.

"So are you single Nick?"

Judy was shaking, her mind told her to calm down but deep down she wanted to punch Lucy in the face. Nick quickly noticed that and wrapped his arm around Judy.

"Let's just say I have someone I like."

Lucy whinked at Judy, she knew what he is talking about.

"So… are you new around the office."

Judy's face flashed red at the moment Lucy whinked at her, so she desied to change a topic.

"Well, I've been at working at SWAT I really don't see much different besides more paperwork and less action.

Lucy swept the ground with her eyes.

"Ok, let's get into work, see if you can find any suspicious building."

Nick raised his telescope but a shuttle of bullets was aiming for him, most missed him, but one hit him in the arm, blood was rushing out of the wound.

Lucy knew there is more of where it came from,the helicopter didn't have a weapon on, it was too risky to stay on,so she landed the helicopter straight away

"Get out! We got company"

They ran off,not after long the helicopter was like a bee hive, They were lucky it didn't hit the gas pipe and blew up.

Nick and Judy hidden behind a tree, Lucy ran a bit more further, hidden behind a rock. That also draw more attention.

Lucy beaked at the places near her, it was some building made with sandstone. Soon nearly 50 animals dressed with bandanas and black coats came behind the buildings. Finally the helicopter when up in flames and blew up near Nick and Judy, smoke surrounded them but they didn't get hurt.

Lucy was very mad "They're gonna pay for that thing!" Judy covered Nick's wound with the only piece of gauze she could find, it was tiny but it will do the work.

The moment They saw Lucy peaking on them, bullets starts to rain towards them, the huge rock Lucy was sitting behind was shredded like a piece of paper. She couldn't return fire.

"A little help guys?"

Nick can barely aim with one hand especially that he's using a rifle and not that of an experienced shooter, Judy was low on the ground, took out as much as she can with her 'Forest Eagle' but it was barely helpful, there're too many of them. Without any supplies they were soon out of ammo.

"Hey!"Lucy yelled at Nick and Judy since they stopped doing anything a few minutes ago

"You guys have any ammo left?"

They both shook their head, Nick sat down holding his wound so it will bleed less.

Lucy contacted the station with the radio she always has,"This is Lucy, lock on to my coordinates, need some help here!"

"Hold your ground Lucy, reinforcements are on the way."Chief Bogo was on the other side of the radio call, the sound of people moving and cars starting made Lucy relief a little.

In a sudden, they stopped, Lucy peak her head a bit to see what is going on. A jaguar wearing a dark black suit, have a scarf on her neck seems like it's made by her own fur, and finally their eyes met.

"Oh, Kanpera."

"Lucy."

Another long time of silence only Kanpera and Lucy staring at each other.

"Here to mess my day up aren't you?"

Lucy stand up and stretched, "yep, you sure know me."She didn't even cared about Kanpera or the minions behind her"It's not like the first time I did this."

Another helicopter was high above them, Lucy paused and covers the sun with one of her hand the see who's up in the skies, she soon gave up and put her hand down to take a look at her watch,"Well we have lots of time to waste, what are you gonna do?"

Kanpera looked at Lucy eyes rushed with red, like the cold blooded killer she is.

"Not to worry Lucy, I got plenty to do."

She smiled, you could see her sharp teeth hanging outside, shiny and deadly.
