This is the 21st chapter of the story. Most of the time, I applied some references from true stories and events as "major" inspiration to my recent stories. Research is one of my greatest hobbies since I have a fond on knowing more about them even though I already knew its history or something else that matters to me and my career. Anyway, here's the new chapter. Have fun!

Chapter 21 - Chatting with the Superior

Bogo was checking his recent app on his phone when someone knocked on his door.

"Who is it?" - Bogo asked -

"It's Officer Splero, Sir. You called me." - Splero replied -

"Come right in." - Bogo said -

Splero entered the office. Bogo then puts down his phone.

"Please take a seat, Officer." - Bogo continued -

Splero sat down.

"Before I start on chatting, I need to ask you something." - Bogo said -

"Yeah?" - Splero responded -

"Are you finished with the pile of documents that I gave to you a few hours ago?" - Bogo asked -

"Yes, Chief. I even stored it on the ZPD file cabinets." - Splero replied -

"Good work, Officer. Thanks for that one." - Bogo thanked him -

"No need to thank me, Sir. I have the privilege to serve the ZPD at most." - Splero remarked -

"Right." - Bogo took his words -

He then clears his throat.

"Ok. Back to the subject then. Just listen to me carefully because you might end up planning." - Bogo continued -

The monarch listened carefully to what he was going to say.

"Splero, there's a ongoing case in the Rainforest District that nearly sparked the same Nighthowler Incident not long ago. Some of our officers on duty were being sent to hospitals after they were being shot at by the fugitives hiding there in the heavy vegetation." - Bogo said -

"The others were being sent to hospitals because they turned savage right after they were being shot by these recent fugitives, right?" - Splero replied -

"How did you know that?" - Bogo realized -

"I just heard from my partner Chimpan. He even says that the count of the fugitives were low but most of them were armed with Nighthowler Dart Guns that were being smuggled clandestinely right after the Nighthowler Incident was being suppressed by Nick and Judy." - Splero explained -

His words halted Bogo for a while.

"Oh. So you already knew the initial reports from him, right?" - Bogo asked -

Splero nodded. Bogo sighed.

"I have a mission for you, Splero." - Bogo said -

"What is it, Chief. I'm all ears." - Splero responded -

"This will be your first but deadly ZPD mission. Are you sure about it?" - Bogo confirmed -

"Yes, sir. I even fought in the Counter-revolution at my Pacific home place." - Splero replied -

Bogo sighed again.

"Here's the plan." - Bogo said -

Splero listened hard.

While the First Yihe Emperor's away, Chimpan kept an eye on his paperwork that was being stacked neatly on his desk. Nick and Judy approaches him.

"Hey, Chimpan." - Nick greeted -

"Hey, Nick. What's up?" - Chimpan responded -

"Do you know where Splero's going to?" - Nick asked -

"He went to see Chief Bogo. The ZPD superior wanted to discuss something to him at his office." - Chimpan replied -

"Looks like he was discussing a long time in there." - Judy said -

"What you mean?" - Nick asked -

"Well...He's in the office for half an hour now." - Judy replied, taking a glimpse on her wristwatch -

"So much for the self-governing monarch." - Chimpan remarked -

He then took a small paper wrapping containing some sweet gum.

"Any gum, guys?" - Chimpan asked -

"Thanks, Chimpan." - Judy replied -

Both Nick and Judy took a strip of bubble gum from Chimpan. As they chewed on, Nick faces him.

"Chimpan, can you tell us about Splero?" - Nick asked -

"Sure, Nick. I hope you guys would like to know more about him sooner or later." - Chimpan replied with a smile -

This is the end of Chapter 21. Looks like Splero was given his first mission from Chief Bogo. Meanwhile, Chimpan was about to tell Nick and Judy more about Splero as well. Stay tuned for Chapter 22, everyone!
