_______________________________________________________________________________________

Thinking as he moved, Karu quickly went to kneel in front of Akeela, "Look, the man here will take you away from here. You'll never be able to get back home. You need to go out the back door, run as far away from this place as you can, and take this," He softly said the instructions as he rustled through his police jackets pocket, and retrieving the object, thrusted a square, black object in her hands, "This is a GPS, it is a specialezed police item. Be sure not too drop it, it will be the only way I can find you." Karu stood up and quickly went to the closet beside the door, he grabbed one of his bigger hoodies and went back and put it on Akeela. "Wear this, it will hide your ears and tail. Just remember not to show your tail." He whispered again, looking nervously at the door.

"Karu! I know your in there! Open up!" The chief yelled, banging on the door some more, he tried to open the door, but thankfully Karu had been smart enough to lock it.

Akeela put on the hoody , "Now go Akeela, out the back door. Be quick!" Karu urged, practically throwing her out the back door. Akeela looked frantically behind her before she took off running, which direction she was 'supposed' too go she had no idea. She just ran away from all the scariness.

Taking a few seconds too make sure she was clear, he silently went up the stairs, than made a huge commotion as he came back down, mussing up his hair as he ran. Walking to the door, he unlocked it and opened it up to see a very angry police officer. "Hey Karu! What's the hold up?! I've been yelling at your door for five minutes!!" He roared, only a few inches away from Karu's face.

Karu yawned, unphased as he rubbed his 'bed-hair', he took a step back so he could get away from that donuty breath, "I was catching up on some Z's... you know I'm a deep sleeper." He tried to make himself look as exhausted as possible, which wasn't too difficult.

The chief raised his brow, "Alright... do you mind if I come in for a minute?" He asked, peeking around Karu's shoulder, "Your neighbour called claiming that you were carrying a child who had a tail. Which of course, fits our description of the monster running around here." He quitely observed Karu, He looks like he's been sleeping anyway...

Karu yawned again and stepped aside, totally relaxed and casual, "Sure, but don't stay too long okay? I'm tired."

The chief let himself in, and taking off his boots slowly walked into the living room.

Karu stood behind him as the chief observed the room. Oh crap... He tensed up, he had forgotten about his wet jacket, towels, and pajama pant scraps. Not too mention his police jacket thrown to the side.

Chief went over to the couch and observed the messy area, "You always this sloppy with your uniform?" He asked, picking up the police jacket, "It'll wrinkle up. And you don't got no woman to iron it for you."

Karu ran his hand through his hair, "Eheh, I usually put it all away neatly, but I was cold and tired so..."

The older man turned to look at Karu, "I see... well," The chief turned to observe the coat again, and he picked it up. Reaching down to the lower part of the coat, he picked off some blondish white hair off of the inside.

Karu froze, Her... fur...

The chief admired the fur for a second, then let it fall from his hands. "Be sure to be more careful with your uniform, Karu. I'll see you later at work."

Karu's eyes turned confused, he didn't... figure it out? He's not that much of an idiot, is he...?

As the chief passed by him he smiled a little bit and put a hand on his shoulder, "If you need any help my boy, let me know. I'm always open."

Karu looked the chief in the eye, and was relieved at what he saw. An amused, curious, open, and trusting look.

Karu chuckled nervously as he scractched the back of his head, "Well, now that you mention it...."

The cheif walked back too his patrol car, chuckling, "Oi, Karu, make sure you bring that back too work now! Those things are expensive." He shouted back, jumping into the drivers seat, "If you need any help, let me know. " And with that he drove off. Karu walked out of the house, shrugging into his jacket. Locking the door, he watched the retreating vehicle. I don't think I'll ever be able to understand that man. Who in the world helps someone who is holding a fugitive, and a police officer at that? Karu just shook his head and jumped into his car, No matter... I need to go after Akeela. He looked at the 4 x 4 screen on the cheifs G.P.S, She's already gotten pretty far. Great. Starting the ignition, he pressed the accelerator and sped after her.

Akeela... please be safe until I get there.

okay... brain isn't working. Is it 'chief', or 'cheif'? cuse neither of them are red, and isn't there a difference, or something? one is like the chief/cheif that goes "how" and the other that goes "shoot first ask questions later?" (lol) so since moi brain isn't willing to dechiper that word, YOU GET TOO!!!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! Lol... help...

ANYWAY! I am planning that this next chapter will have you pretty tensed up and excited, it's a little different than I planned so it may not be as good. but stil good, hopefully!! look forward too it!!
